<h4>Chapter 251 - The Hidden de is Revealed</h4>


    The wind stopped.


    The air turned icy.


    All eyes in the crowd narrowed as they focused on Zhao Kongming. He was enraged and surging with killing intent, his aura boiling.


    Big trouble!


    No one had thought the battle between Zhao Ziyang and Chen Qingqing would end like this.


    From the beginning to the end, Chen Qingqing dominated Zhao Ziyang effortlessly. In the final moments, even Zhao Kongming couldn''t prevent his son from meeting a tragic fate.


    Zhao Ziyang had lost his cultivation, and his status would now be lower than an ant''s.


    The participants'' fate was disregarded on the battle tform unless they surrendered.


    However, that was Zhao Ziyang—Zhao Kongming’s son, the Zhao n’s Young Patriarch, and the number one genius of the Zhao n’s younger generation.


    With Zhao Ziyang crippled, could Zhao Kongming remain passive? Would he still abide by the martial arts meet''s rules?


    The atmosphere in the crowd grew heavy as if ominous clouds were descending upon the city, ready to wreak havoc.


    The conflict between the Chen n and the Zhao n had irreversibly deepened.


    “Damn it! Damn it! Every one of you deserves to die!”


    Zhao Kongming hadpletely lost all rationality. He had a malevolent expression that starkly contrasted with the dignified demeanor he had previously shown as the Zhao n''s patriarch.


    The killing intenting from him covered heaven and earth. The temperature in the area plummeted as if they were in the middle of winter.


    As martial artists, simple coldness couldn’t affect them.


    However, this chilling sensation was different.


    This was killing intent. It was an intense killing intent that prated to the bone, overpowering even Qi Grandmasters.


    Over at the Zhao n’s stand, experts stood up one after another. Their demeanor mirrored Zhao Kongming''s, brimming with killing intent, as they red at the Chen n.


    <i>Thump, thump, thump.</i>


    At the slimmest signal from Zhao Kongming, they wouldunch into a merciless assault, ready to end the lives of the Chen n members.


    “Big trouble! Big trouble! Are they about to go to war?”


    The crowd felt the tense atmosphere in the arena that was thick with the possibility of a massive and tragic fight. Everyone’s mind was trembling non-stop.


    Zhao Kongming’s cold gaze was directed at Chen Zhengqing and the others, as he emanated a shockingly strong killing intent.


    “Chen n, every one of you deserves to die!”


    Chen Zhengqing said with a cold expression, “Watch your words, Patriarch Zhao! On the stage, as long as no one concedes, their life or death is up to fate. You can’t me my Chen n when your son’s skills fall short.”


    Zhao Kongmingughed maniacally, and his churning aura grew even fiercer.


    “Hahahaha, up to fate? His skills are inferior? Good one!”


    “What nonsensical rules! My son’s life is a hundred times—no, a thousand times more precious than your entire Chen nbined! Even wiping out your n wouldn''t suffice to pay for it! Today, every member of your Chen n will be buried here!"


    The Zhao n’s people roared furiously, shaking the sky.


    “Kill!”


    “Kill!”


    “Hoho, it seems Patriarch Zhao is nning to sh with my Chen n. Given the circumstances, there''s no need for games. Summon those thirty-something Yuanfu realm experts hidden within your mansion." Chen Zhengqing did not need to feign civility anymore. He directly exposed that over thirty Yuanfu realm experts hid deep inside the Zhao n’s mansion.


    Zhao Kongming’s pupils immediately shrunk violently.


    “What?”


    Qian Tongtian, Zhang Huaiyuan, and the others quickly stood up, their faces filled with shock.


    <i>More than thirty Yuanfu realm experts!</i>


    <i>When did the Zhao n amass such a force?</i>


    “You’ve actually noticed them!” Zhao Kongming did not deny it despite sounding a bit surprised.


    “Hoho, I noticed them the moment I stepped into your mansion.”


    Chen Zhengqingughed coldly. He conveniently omitted that Chen Fan had informed him, as Chen Fan served as the Chen n''s hidden ace.


    “Tell them to show themselves. I do want to see which ns your Zhao n colluded with to plot against my Chen n!” Chen Zhengqing said coldly.


    “Haha, Brother Kongming, why bother wasting your breath on them? He must be stalling for time to call for reinforcements. Let’s strike now, as agreed. It’s time for Watermoon City to undergo some changes,” said Zheng Qinghu as he stood up.


    Simultaneously, the members of the Li, Sun, Wang, and Wu ns all stood up, emitting icy auras and sealing the area. They red at the Chen, Qian, Zhang, Lǚ, and Zhou n members.


    “Zhao Kongming, Zheng Qinghu, what do you mean by this?” said Qian Tongtian, as his expression darkened, realizing that the City sh Convention held moreplexity than initially expected—it was more of a Hongmen Banquet.


    “Send the signal. Call for reinforcements!” Zhang Huaiyuan cried out, and fireworks exploded into the sky.


    Zhao Kongming narrowed his eyes. Chilling killing intent surged as he roared, “Come out, all of you!”


    Immediately, numerous powerful auras surged to the skies from the depths of the Zhao n’s mansion, stirring the wind and clouds. They were all Yuanfu realm auras, numbering no fewer than thirty.


    Qian Tongtian shrieked, “Zhao Kongming, your six great ns have united to eliminate us!"


    “Hoho, Qian Tongtian, Brother Kongming extended an invitation to the four great ns, but you turned him down. So, there’s no need for the four great ns to continue to exist in Watermoon City,” Zheng Qinghu remarked with a coldugh,ying bare the truth.


    The hidden de had been revealed!


    “You want to wipe out our ns? You won’t have it easy, either!” Qian Tongtian said sternly.


    Li Yuanbaughed maniacally and said, “Hahahaha, Qian Tongtian, do you believe there''s any hope for you few? Thirty-four Yuanfu realm experts are here, not to mention Brother Kongming and Brother Qinghu, who are both at the fifth level. How long will we need to kill you?


    “By the time your reinforcements are here, you will already be dead. Can they still overturn the situation? Hahaha...”


    The crowd felt a chill in their hearts.


    No one had expected the Zhao n to set up an inescapable with the five great ns to wipe out the other great ns.


    “Damn it! Zhao Kongming, Zheng Qinghu, all of you deserve to die!” The patriarchs, Zhou Butong and Lǚ Hou, roared fiercely.


    “Haha, Zhou Butong, Lǚ Hou, we won’t die... because you will!” Li Yuanbaughed coldly.


    <i>Swish, swish, swish...</i>


    At this time, the sound of wind breaking rang out.


    The thirty-something Yuanfu realm experts hiding in the Zhao n’s mansion received the signal and came rushing to the martial arts arena.


    “Chen Zhengqing, your Chen n will be annihted today! I’ll avenge my son with your Chen n’s blood! None of your people will be spared!”


    Zhao Kongming looked at Chen Zhengqing and added coldly, “I forgot to mention this. I sent third-level Yuanfu realm experts to Xuanyang City as well. None of your Chen n’s people will escape!”


    Chen Zhengqing’s expression sank as soon as he heard this.


    However, Chen Fan said, “No need to worry, Father. Those people will only be walking into their deaths if they go.”


    Chen Tianxiong was indeed no match for third-level Yuanfu realm experts. However, with the Mountain River Stars Grand Array in ce, it would be no different from throwing their lives away if they tried to kill their way into the Chen n mansion.
