"Hmm? It seems you've forgotten the gap between us! This time, I won't leave you with even a single breath!"
Shangguan Ming's expression turned cold as he declared from his high perch, "Kneel, kowtow, and take your own life here, and I will spare the lives of your entire Long Family!"
In an instant, the expressions of the hundred-plus Long Family members changed drastically, while the Su Family members looked on with derision.
"Su Miaoyu, you personally promised Long Hen that as long as he submitted to you, you would not harm the innocent members of the Long Family!" Great Elder Long Tian of the Long Family said, his expression grim. "If not for that, why would I have turned a blind eye and allowed you to run rampant in the Long Family?"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen frowned slightly. So, Great Elder Long Tian hadn't betrayed them but had acted out of helplessness. As for Second Elder Long Hen, it was impossible to know whether he had acted for the safety of the Long Family members or to seize an opportunity to rise in power. But regardless of his intentions, the mere act of giving Long Xin to Su Jun of the Su Family was enough to prove he had lost his mind!
"I did promise Long Hen, it's true. But the one who wants to exterminate your Long Family now is Brother Shangguan Ming, not me," Su Miaoyu said, giving Long Tian a nonchalant glance, her heart filled with contempt for his naivety.
From the very beginning, Su Miaoyu had been toying with the Long Family, yet she had not revealed her true intentions even now. She was heartless and unfaithful, yet she shamelessly shifted the blame onto Long Chen. She wanted to maintain her reputation while still achieving her goal of annihilating the Long Family!
"Sister-in-law Miaoyu, why bother explaining to him? They're just a bunch of ants. Whether you're good or bad, why should they get to judge you?"
At this, Shangguan Ming slowly drew the longsword from his waist and said indifferently, "Remember, Sister-in-law, you possess the Emperor Meridans! As long as you and Po Jun get along well, the Shangguan Family's Earth Institute will surely nurture you with all its might! You will only soar higher and higher from now on! As for this insignificant Dragon City, no matter how many people it holds, they are all just ants. If they dare to run their mouths, what's the harm in killing them all? It will have no effect on your future!"
The moment his words fell, Su Miaoyu froze, a strange light gradually flickering in her eyes.
At that moment, she couldn't help but ask herself: I possess the Emperor Meridans. My future is limitless. I will never be confined to this place! That being the case, just as Shangguan Ming said, why should I care about the opinions of some ants?
"Reputation is indeed useless to this wretch!" Suddenly, Long Chen sneered, "Because I will dig out the Emperor Meridans that rightfully belong to me, clip her wings, and make sure she can never fly again!"
"You ant, you're seeking death!" Shangguan Ming swung his sword, and the Battle qi of a Half-step War King Realm instantly swept out!
However, before Shangguan Ming's sword could fall, another wave of Battle qi from the Half-step War King Realm surged forth!
With a sharp SNAP, Long Dou took a step forward, arriving right in front of Shangguan Ming and seizing his sword-wielding wrist!
"Hmm?" Shangguan Ming's pupils contracted, his expression one of utter shock.
Seeing this, the onlookers' eyes widened in terror, gulping without even realizing it.
Nobody had expected Long Dou to have also stepped into the Half-step War King Realm. Furthermore, his combat power could contend with Shangguan Ming's!
"Damn it!" Su Miaoyu's face turned ashen. If I had known this, I should have let Father risk going down to the secret chamber! Great Elder Su Kun and Second Elder Su Lie were right! The only reason Long Chen and Long Dou hadn't come out of the secret chamber was that their injuries hadn't fully healed, and they hadn't yet broken through to the Half-step War King Realm!
"Father!" Su Miaoyu suddenly shouted coldly.
The Su Family Head, Su Feng, immediately understood and threw a punch at Long Dou from the side.
"Great Elder, Second Elder!" Su Miaoyu's eyes flashed with cold light as she barked another order.
Great Elder Su Kun and Second Elder Su Lie exchanged glances. Although they each had their own schemes, for now, they had to unite against a common enemy. In an instant, Su Kun and Su Lie attacked simultaneously, following right behind Su Feng to assault Long Dou, who was locked in a stalemate with Shangguan Ming!
"If anyone from the Long Family dares to move, I, Su Miaoyu, will slaughter all nine generations of your clan!" Su Miaoyu shouted coldly.
A chilling light flashed in the depths of Long Chen's eyes as he raised his hand and began forming seals. "I'd like to see just who you can kill, you wretch!"
