The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 429 Kill! Kill! Kill! (6k)

Shen Juefeng slowly raised his head, and a chilling aura emanated from his turbid eyes.

He still smelled strongly of alcohol, but at this moment, he didn't seem drunk at all. Instead, he was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.

Those cloudy eyes slowly turned and finally landed on Liu Rushuang, who was kneeling on one knee.

"The most poisonous heart is a woman's," Shen Juefeng's voice was soft, yet it made Liu Rushuang tremble. "You should know what you've done."

He slowly raised his right hand, and a wisp of dark light gathered in his palm.

The light, though seemingly faint, distorted the surrounding space.

Liu Rushuang's face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled as she tried to explain, but she found that she couldn't even utter a sound.

"stop!"

Shen Lieyang's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Ignoring the surging blood and qi within his body, he forcibly activated all the spiritual power in his body.

He formed a hand seal, and a crimson streak of spiritual energy shot out, striking straight at Shen Juefeng's back!

"Burning Heart, Locking Soul!"

This strike contained his life's cultivation; wherever his spiritual power passed, even the void trembled.

however--

Shen Juefeng didn't even turn his head, casually waving his left hand.

"boom!"

The spiritual energy, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split rocks, collapsed and dissipated into sparks in the air just three feet away from Shen Juefeng.

The power of the laws of the Supreme Realm easily crushed the full-force attack of the Spirit Severing Realm.

Shen Lieyang staggered backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth again.

He stared in disbelief at his own hands, then at the figure that still had its back to him.

The difference is really that big?

"Third Brother," Shen Juefeng's voice was terrifyingly calm, "Do you think you can stop me in your current state?"

His right hand remained suspended above Liu Rushuang's head, and the faint light grew stronger and stronger, like a black hole about to explode, distorting and swallowing even the surrounding light.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

"That rainy night back then..." Shen Juefeng's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if it came from a distant past, "When you joined forces with the Flying Thieves Alliance, did you ever think about showing mercy?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lieyang's expression changed drastically, and his eyes darted away.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips trembled slightly, clearly caught off guard by the sudden questioning.

"Fourth brother, what are you saying? I don't understand." Shen Lieyang tried to remain calm.

His voice trembled involuntarily, "Is someone trying to sow discord between us brothers?"

Shen Juefeng sneered: "Sowing discord? Do you think our Shen family needs outsiders to sow discord?"

These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Shen Lieyang's heart.

He remained silent for a moment, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to finally understand that Shen Juefeng knew everything.

After all, the fact that the fourth brother, who had been so decadent for so many years, suddenly became a Supreme Realm expert in a way that caught everyone off guard.

For a long time, all of the Shen family's businesses have been managed by the three of them, and no one has ever cared about the life or death of the fourth son.

What he did in secret remains unknown.

“Brother-in-law, it seems you know everything.” Liu Rushuang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke, her voice surprisingly calm.

"Then you should know that the third brother was used as a pawn, and none of this has anything to do with him!"

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

"Fourth Uncle, please spare Father and Mother!" Just then, the twins Shen Heng and Shen Li, who had finally arrived at their mother's side, knelt down with a "thump".

They kowtowed deeply to Shen Juefeng: "Nephew is willing to bear all the blame!"

Looking at her two sons, Liu Rushuang's eyes were filled with regret and heartache.

She reached out her trembling hand, wanting to touch her son's face, but stopped in mid-air.

Shen Juefeng watched all this quietly, his eyes unwavering: "But a mistake is a mistake. You should know better than anyone what you did."

As he spoke, the dark light in his hand suddenly surged, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light.

Upon seeing this, Liu Rushuang knew that she could not escape her fate.

In fact, she had long anticipated this day, but she never expected that it would be her brother-in-law who came to end it all.

She had assumed that Shen Hanyi would be the one to seek justice.

At this critical moment of life and death, Liu Rushuang displayed a mother's final resolve.

She suddenly channeled all her spiritual power, formed hand seals, and a gentle force pushed her two sons far away.

“Please, brother-in-law, don’t implicate your two nephews,” she said in an unusually calm voice. “They know nothing.”

"No—" Shen Lieyang's eyes widened in fury at the sight.

He could no longer care about anything else. His spiritual power surged wildly throughout his body, and his hands quickly formed hand seals: "Heaven-Burning and World-Destroying Seal!"

An even more terrifying fiery magic seal condensed in the air, hurtling towards Shen Juefeng with earth-shattering force.

This attack even used Shen Lieyang's essence blood, making it several times more powerful than usual!
however--

With a mere wave of his hand, Shen Juefeng caused the seemingly world-destroying magic seal to crumble in mid-air without even causing a ripple.

Immediately afterwards, he pressed down with his left hand, and an invisible force slammed Shen Lieyang into the ground, creating a huge crater several meters deep.

"Pfft!" Shen Lieyang spat out a mouthful of blood, trying to struggle to get up, but found that all the bones in his body were shattered, and he couldn't even move a finger.

At the same time, the beam of light from Shen Juefeng's right hand fell, pointing directly at Liu Rushuang's brow.

"Mother—" Shen Heng and Shen Li cried out in anguish as they were pushed away, trying to rush over, but were held in place by an invisible force.

Liu Rushuang neither dodged nor resisted.

She simply stared calmly at the deadly beam of light, a hint of relief even appearing on her lips.

"Pretty girls are the most deceiving, Heng'er, Li'er, don't fall for that Su family girl's tricks..."

"boom!"

Before Liu Rushuang could finish speaking, the beam of light pierced through her body, causing her flesh to explode and turn into a cloud of blood mist.

Then, Shen Juefeng precisely extracted a weak, seven-colored primordial spirit, which hovered in his palm.

"No—" Shen Lieyang let out a beast-like howl, his voice filled with despair and pain, "Shuang'er!"

"Mother—" Shen Heng and Shen Li cried out, their vision blurred with tears.

Shen Juefeng looked at the struggling seven-colored primordial spirit in his hand with icy eyes: "Killing you in the Shen family would create an area of ​​obsession that would taint my Shen family's territory."

As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals, and profound runes appeared, enveloping Liu Rushuang's primordial spirit layer by layer.

Finally, he took out a pitch-black jade box and put the sealed primordial spirit inside.

"Give Shuang'er back to me—" Shen Lieyang, with strength he didn't know he had, broke free of his restraints and dragged his broken body toward Shen Juefeng.

Shen Juefeng looked at him coldly, his voice filled with icy chill: "Then who will give Ci'er back to me?"

These words were like a bucket of ice water, chilling Shen Lieyang to the bone.

He stood frozen in place, the madness in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by deep fear and regret.

Shen Juefeng didn't give him time to think further, and with a wave of his hand, another seal was cast.

Shen Lieyang's body stiffened instantly, then he slowly collapsed, completely suppressed.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Juefeng slowly turned his head and looked at the void behind him.

His movements were slow, yet they carried a suffocating sense of oppression, as if even the surrounding air had frozen.

"I underestimated your ruthlessness." His voice was low and cold.

"I originally thought you would step in to help Liu Rushuang because she is your sister-in-law, but you just stood by and watched."

Shen Juefeng's gaze pierced through the void, as if staring at some distant being.

A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his mouth: "If I had just killed Third Brother directly, you would probably have stood by and watched coldly as well."

As soon as the words were spoken, nine figures appeared instantly from afar.

Leading the group were Shen Tianhong, the head of the first branch of the family, and his wife, Lin Jingtang.

Behind them were seven other experts at the Spirit Severing Realm who had helped Zhou Qing perfect his artistic conception.

The nine people spread out in a fan shape, surrounding Shen Juefeng.

Shen Tianhong wore a purple and gold robe and had a dignified appearance.

His gaze swept over the mess, then fell on Shen Lieyang, who was suppressed and unconscious below. His brows furrowed slightly: "Did you kill the second brother?"

"Yes!" Shen Juefeng answered without hesitation, his voice eerily calm.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see? Now that I've suppressed Third Brother and eliminated Liu Rushuang, there's nowhere left for me in the entire Shen family. You can finally be the head of the family."

"Insolence!" Shen Tianhong roared, his spiritual power surging, and the pressure of the Supreme Realm erupted.

Lin Jingtang moved gracefully, her face filled with heartache: "Fourth brother, how could you be so foolish as to kill your own brother?"

"Shut up, you slut—" Shen Juefeng interrupted her directly, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Lin Jingtang was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently.

Shen Tianhong took a step forward, and his aura as a Supreme Realm expert pressed down like a mountain: "How dare you speak to your sister-in-law like that!"

Shen Juefeng also unleashed the aura of the Supreme Realm, and the two world-destroying forces collided violently in the air, stirring up a monstrous storm of spiritual energy.

Space shattered inch by inch, and amidst the raging energy turbulence, his eyes flashed with a cold light: "She's not worthy? No, neither of you are!"

"Fourth Brother!" Shen Tianhong's hair and beard stood on end, his supreme Dharma image appearing and disappearing behind him. "Are you trying to drag the entire Shen family to eternal damnation?!"

"It's you!" Shen Juefeng's voice suddenly rose, the sound waves causing the surrounding buildings to shake violently and tiles to fall down.

"You were the ones who first planned to drag the Shen family into hell! You know what happened back then!"

"You've gone mad! You've completely gone mad!" Shen Tianhong laughed angrily. "For a woman who died many years ago, you're going to drag the entire Shen family into the abyss!"

"Today I will take my father's place and teach you a lesson, you unfilial son!"

Having said that, he shouted to the seven experts at the Spirit Severing Realm: "Form the formation!"

Upon hearing this, the seven immediately began to move, preparing to set up a killing formation.

However, just as they made a move, Shen Juefeng suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with irony and sorrow.

"Seven elders," Shen Juefeng's gaze swept over the seven people like a knife, "believe me or not, I can kill you all before you even form a formation?"

The seven men trembled, especially when they sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Shen Juefeng that far surpassed that of ordinary Supreme Realm cultivators, and their movements involuntarily slowed down.

“This is between Shen Tianhong and me,” Shen Juefeng continued, his voice low and dangerous. “I advise you not to get involved, or you might become someone else’s victim.”

The seven people exchanged glances, and each saw hesitation in the other's eyes.

They were all elders of the Shen family, so they naturally knew about the undercurrents within the family over the years. Moreover, each of them had cultivated to the Spirit Severing Realm, overcoming the three major difficulties of Nascent Soul Formation, Deity Transformation, and Spirit Severing, which was extremely difficult.

Even someone like Second Master, a peak-level Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, perished at Fourth Master's hands; they would only become cannon fodder.

After a moment of silence, the seven people tacitly dispersed, no longer participating in the fight.

"Are you even still members of the Shen family?!" Shen Tianhong roared, his anger reaching its peak. "Are you just going to let this madman wreak havoc in the family?"

Shen Juefeng sneered: "Brother, looking at your indignant appearance, I feel disgusted for you."

His gaze was sharp as a sword: "Don't you just want me to kill one or two of them to solidify the charges of betraying the family and harming my own brothers? Why bother?"

Upon hearing these words, the seven elders' expressions changed again, and they took a few steps back, completely widening the distance between them.

Shen Tianhong's expression shifted between light and dark, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that the fourth brother would see through his thoughts.

"Nonsense," Shen Tianhong forced down his unease, his voice icy, "If that's the case, then I'll kill you myself, no need to report to Father!"

Before the words were even finished, the world suddenly changed color.

Shen Tianhong's body erupted with dazzling supreme divine light, instantly draining the spiritual energy within a hundred miles and transforming it into a vortex of spiritual power that reached the heavens and the earth.

He formed a hand seal, and nine crimson crescent moons appeared in the void, each radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.

"Nine Nether Blood Moon Slash!"

Nine blood moons fell simultaneously, causing space to shatter and revealing dark void cracks in their wake.

The terrifying pressure forced the seven Spirit Severing Realm experts watching from the surrounding area to retreat to a greater distance, their faces turning pale.

Faced with this devastating attack, Shen Juefeng merely snorted coldly.

He made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a cyan longsword, entirely condensed from the power of rules, appeared out of thin air.

As the sword trembled, it resonated with the heavens and earth, emitting bursts of the sounds of the Great Dao.

"Azure Sword Technique - Dawn Breaker!"

With a single sword strike, the heavens and earth were illuminated.

The cyan sword light was like the first ray of dawn, seemingly gentle yet containing an invincible sharpness.

The moment the sword light collided with the blood moon, the resulting energy shockwave leveled all the buildings within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"boom--"

Amidst the deafening explosions, countless pavilions and towers collapsed, their exquisite carvings and paintings as fragile as paper in the aftershocks of the clash between supreme realm experts.

Many of the Shen family's servants and maids who were caught in the crossfire didn't even have time to react before they were reduced to ashes.

Some managed to escape, and immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Help!"

"Run away!"

"Master, spare my life!"

The cries of agony rose and fell, plunging the entire Shen family into chaos.

At this moment, Shen Tianhong groaned, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

"Good! Very good!" Shen Tianhong grinned maliciously as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "It seems you've been hiding your true colors all these years!"

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from his body, and his aura as a supreme being rose steadily.

Behind him, a golden dharma image, hundreds of feet tall, materialized.

Its appearance was indistinct, yet it exuded a suffocating pressure, and every move it made resonated with the heavens and earth.

"Supreme Dharma Image - Suppress!"

The golden Dharma image slammed down with its palm, and before the palm print even arrived, the ground below had already begun to collapse.

Space itself twisted and deformed under this palm strike, groaning under the unbearable weight.

Shen Juefeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he also activated his Supreme Dharma Form.

A blue-green Dharma image rose from the ground, its hands forming a mudra, transforming into a blue light curtain to meet the golden palm print.

"boom!"

The moment the two Dharma images collided, the heavens and earth fell silent, followed by a deafening roar.

The shockwave swept in all directions, the ground undulated and surged like waves, and countless pieces of gravel and dust were swept into the sky, forming a dust storm that blotted out the sun.

The seven powerful cultivators at the Spirit Severing Realm who were watching from afar had to summon their protective spiritual light to struggle through the violent aftershocks.

"Come again!"

Shen Tianhong shouted, and his golden Dharma image suddenly split into nine smaller Dharma images, which attacked Shen Juefeng from all directions.

Each of the Dharma images unleashed different moves, whether fists, palms, fingers, or claws, their moves working in perfect harmony to completely seal off all of Shen Juefeng's escape routes.

Shen Juefeng's expression turned solemn. His azure Dharma form suddenly contracted, transforming into a suit of azure armor that covered his entire body.

He quickly formed hand seals and softly uttered, "Nine Revolutions of Azure Netherworld!"

Nine beams of azure sword light burst forth from his body, each precisely aimed at a golden Dharma image.

The sword light collided with the Dharma form, unleashing a dazzling light that dyed the entire sky azure and gold.

"puff!"

Shen Tianhong coughed up a mouthful of blood. His nine Dharma images had been destroyed, and he had clearly suffered a severe backlash.

But his fighting spirit intensified, and suddenly he clasped his hands together, and a dazzling golden beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping his entire body.

"Supreme Domain - Heavenly Punishment!"

The golden beam of light rapidly expanded, forming a domain with a diameter of a thousand feet.

Within the domain, countless golden blades of light appeared out of thin air, each containing the sharp intent to sever all things.

These light blades are not static, but rather flow endlessly along some mysterious trajectory, cutting the entire space into fragments.

Shen Juefeng was trapped inside, his cyan armor constantly sparking dazzling sparks as it was struck by the golden light blades.

His figure appeared exceptionally small within the domain, as if he could be shredded into pieces by the endless blades of light at any moment.

"Admit defeat, Fourth Brother!" Shen Tianhong's voice echoed within the domain. "You won't last a quarter of an hour inside my Heavenly Punishment Domain!"

Shen Juefeng sneered, then suddenly stopped and quickly formed hand seals.

As the magic seal took shape, dense cyan runes began to appear around him. These runes intertwined and quickly formed a profound sword formation.

"Azure Sword Domain - Open!"

"Zheng!"

A clear, resonant sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth, and the azure sword formation suddenly expanded, standing shoulder to shoulder with the golden domain.

Within the sword formation, countless cyan sword energies crisscrossed, each precisely intercepting the incoming golden light blades.

The two realms eroded each other, causing space to twist and deform continuously, emitting a tearing sound that made one's teeth ache.

"What?!" Shen Tianhong's expression changed drastically. "How did you cultivate a domain so quickly?!"

He stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

It should be understood that even for a supreme realm expert, it takes an unimaginable amount of time to cultivate a domain.

How long has it been since the fourth brother broke through to the Supreme Realm?
He truly deserves to be called the Shen family's former genius.

"Surprised?" Shen Juefeng slowly raised his hand, and the sword energy in the azure sword domain suddenly condensed into a huge light sword. "All these years, did you really think I was just living a life of debauchery?"

A flicker of panic crossed Shen Tianhong's eyes, but it quickly returned to its fierce edge: "Even so, you will pay the price today!"

He suddenly activated his domain, and all the golden light blades instantly converged, transforming into a giant golden sword that reached the heavens and the earth.

"Heavenly Punishment - Slash!"

"Azure Sky - Break!"

The two giant swords collided with a deafening roar in mid-air.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to be torn apart, the sky and earth trembled, space was distorted, and a violent storm of spiritual energy swept in all directions.

Shen Juefeng and Shen Tianhong both coughed up blood, their domains shattering simultaneously in the violent collision.

The two were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Cough cough." Shen Juefeng climbed up from the ruins and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His blue armor was covered in cracks, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned ever brighter.

In the distance, Shen Tianhong's situation was even worse.

His right arm was twisted unnaturally, and his chest was sunken, clearly indicating that he had suffered severe internal injuries.

But what bothered him even more was the sudden shift in Shen Juefeng's eyes towards killing intent.

"Not good!" Shen Tianhong suddenly realized something and turned to look in Lin Jingtang's direction. "Jingtang, run!"

But it was too late.

Shen Juefeng's figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he appeared in front of Lin Jingtang.

His speed was so fast that he didn't even leave an afterimage.

"You vile woman, you deserve to pay with your life." Shen Juefeng's voice was icy cold.

Lin Jingtang's face turned ashen, and she hastily produced a small golden shield.

The shield grew longer in the wind, transforming into a light screen about ten feet high, blocking the way in front of him.

This is her trump card, the "Mystic Light Shield," a life-saving treasure powerful enough to withstand a single blow from a Supreme Realm expert.

"Crack!"

Shen Juefeng unleashed a punch, shattering the light barrier.

The force of the punch did not diminish, and it pierced directly through Lin Jingtang's chest.

"Pfft!" Lin Jingtang spat out a mouthful of blood, staring incredulously at the bloody hole in her chest. "How could this be?"

"This punch is for Ci'er." Shen Juefeng pulled back his blood-stained arm, his right hand forming a claw, and suddenly gripped Lin Jingtang's crown.

"No—!" Lin Jingtang screamed shrilly, but she couldn't stop Shen Juefeng's actions.

Shen Juefeng clenched his five fingers, and a seven-colored stream of light was forcibly pulled out of Lin Jingtang's body—it was her nascent soul!
The nascent soul was no bigger than the palm of a hand, crystal clear, and radiating seven-colored light. At this moment, however, it was filled with terror and struggled desperately.

"Shen Juefeng! How dare you—" Shen Tianhong's eyes were bloodshot as he pounced on him frantically.

Shen Juefeng didn't even glance at him. He quickly formed hand seals with his right hand, and sealing runes wrapped around Lin Jingtang's nascent soul.

The seven-colored nascent soul struggled desperately, but ultimately could not withstand the suppressive power of the Supreme Realm expert.

It eventually transformed into a crystal-clear jade bead, which he casually stuffed into his storage bag.

A woman at the mid-stage of the Spirit Severing Realm is ultimately nothing more than an ant before a Supreme Realm expert.
