One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Then he glanced at his second senior brother, who was sitting in his usual seat, looking on with amusement.

A wry smile, tinged with helplessness and indulgence, suddenly appeared on Tian Jinzhong's old face:

"Second Brother, stop playing around."

"Look at you, you've scared these two kids so much, their faces have turned green."

When Zhang Tianyi saw that the person in question had arrived, she stopped pretending.

He stretched and stood up from his wheelchair.

"Oh dear, third brother, you really are something else."

Zhang Tianyi disgustedly patted the dust off his buttocks:

"I was just catching up with Xiaoyuzi, and you come in and ruin it. I haven't finished acting this part yet."

As he spoke, he walked up to Tian Jinzhong, bent down, and reached out to pinch the old man's wrinkled cheek:

"How was it? Did your senior brother do a good job impersonating you?"

"Did he portray that kind of... strong will despite physical disability, and domineering presence even while in a wheelchair?"

Tian Jinzhong was both amused and exasperated, and could only play along, saying, "It's just like it, it's extremely similar. It's just that your legs, Second Senior Brother, are too flexible, it's easy to give yourself away."

This scene of deep brotherly affection, however, was a scene more terrifying than hell in the eyes of Gong Qing and Lü Liang.

despair.

True despair.

In front, Rong Shan, furious and enraged, blocked the entrance; behind, the old monster Zhang Tianyi was in charge.

This is a dead end!

"run!!"

Gong Qing was a ruthless man; he knew that begging for mercy was useless at this moment.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly pulled out a black bead from his pocket—the "Ghost Smoke Bead" used by Quanxing to protect their lives—and threw it to the ground!

"boom!"

Thick black smoke erupted instantly, obscuring visibility and carrying a pungent sulfurous smell.

"Lü Liang! Retreat!!"

Gong Qing roared, but he ignored Lü Liang completely. His figure moved like a ghost, using all his strength to rush towards the window.

If we jump out of this window and into the dense forest behind the mountain, with the cover of the main force of the Quanxing Sect, there might still be a glimmer of hope!

however.

The instant his hand touched the window frame.

A slender, fair hand emerged from the smoke without warning.

Like an iron clamp, it gripped Gong Qing's throat tightly!

"Crack!"

Gong Qingqian's momentum came to an abrupt halt, and he was abruptly lifted into the air.

He stared in horror as the smoke cleared, revealing a young face so close yet as cold and indifferent as ancient ice.

Zhang Tianyi no longer had her usual smile.

Those purple eyes held no trace of mockery, only pure, suffocating killing intent.

"run?"

Zhang Tianyi's voice was soft, yet it struck Gong Qing's heart like a heavy hammer:

"Little Yu, who gave you the guts to think you can escape from me?"

"Uh...uh..."

Gong Qing struggled desperately, grabbing Zhang Tianyi's wrists with both hands and trying to pry them open, but the hand didn't budge and instead tightened its grip.

The feeling of suffocation turned his face a deep purplish-red, and his legs kicked helplessly in the air.

"Three years."

Zhang Tianyi looked at the ant in his hand, his tone icy and chilling:

"You have been lying low in Longhu Mountain for three years."

"My junior brother treats you like his own grand-disciple, and Rongshan cherishes you like his own nephew."

"To keep this secret, Jinzhong hasn't dared to sleep for decades and has suffered endless torment. And you, on the other hand, are pretending to be filial while holding a chamber pot, but secretly plotting how to rip his brain out?"

"Waaah... Spare... Spare my life..."

Gong Qing's eyes began to glaze over, and because his throat was being squeezed, he could only utter weak pleas for mercy.

He tried to plead for help with his eyes, because he knew that the old master and Tian Lao were both monks who followed the rules, and perhaps they would spare his life and hand him over to the company for trial.

But Zhang Tianyi didn't give him that chance at all.

"Spare your life?"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Zhang Tianyi's lips:

"If I hadn't woken up today, if I had arrived a moment later, would you have spared Jinzhong?"

"Will you spare all the disciples of Longhu Mountain?"

"Some bottom lines, if crossed, will lead to certain death."

"You think you're worthy of being judged by my senior brother? You think you deserve to be in the company's prison?"

"You've dirtied the land of Longhu Mountain!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A surge of purple light appeared in Zhang Tianyi's eyes!

"Die."

boom!!!

A terrifyingly powerful force of thunder flowed through Zhang Tianyi's palm and poured into Gong Qing's body without reservation!

This is the most domineering destructive power of innate lightning element!

"ah----!!!"

Gong Qing only had time to let out a short, shrill scream.

Immediately afterwards, his body felt as if it had turned into a high-pressure furnace.

All the meridians, bones, and internal organs were completely destroyed and carbonized by the violent lightning plasma in that instant!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

The blinding light illuminated the entire room.

One second.

Just one second.

When Zhang Tianyi let go.

Only a handful of charred, still-steaming ashes fell through his fingers and scattered on the ground.

The so-called acting leader of Quanxing.

The so-called strategist Gong Qing.

In this world, not even a complete corpse was left behind; he was directly physically exorcised and vanished into nothingness!

"Gudong."

Sitting on the ground, Lü Liang stared at the ashes still bearing the outline of a human figure. His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he was so terrified that he lost the ability to think.

died?

The sect leader, who was just a moment ago lively and scheming, has turned to ashes just like that?

They didn't even give me a chance to be reincarnated?

This...this is a Taoist priest?

This guy looks like the King of Hell!

Rong Shan, standing at the door, was also dumbfounded, and the hemp rope he was holding fell to the ground with a "thud".

Although he hated Gong Qing, he only wanted to arrest him.

Second Uncle's methods... are too ruthless!

That's absolutely amazing!

Only Tian Jinzhong, in his wheelchair, looked at the ashes on the ground, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but it quickly turned into relief.

He sighed:

"Second Senior Brother, you... your bloodthirstiness is still so great."

"Murderousness?"

Zhang Tianyi dusted off his hands, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped his fingers, his expression returning to its usual languid state.

"In times of chaos, severe punishments are necessary to eradicate evil completely."

"This kid has a wicked heart; keeping him around will only cause trouble."

“My senior brother is a top-tier expert, the face of Longhu Mountain. He should care about his status and not kill indiscriminately. I don’t care.”

"I'm a devil incarnate. Anyone who dares to touch my junior brother will be left with no chance to regret it."

After speaking, Zhang Tianyi turned his head, his eyes, as deep as an abyss, looking at Lü Liang, who was slumped on the ground.

Lu Liang shuddered, his crotch instantly became wet, and a strong smell of urine filled the air.

"No...don't kill me!!"

Lü Liang broke down in tears and frantically kowtowed:
