Chapter 682: Chapter 683 Complicated Chaos

Song Xiaodong’s swing was incredibly fierce and swift. Sun Six and two of the Su Family’s top experts were the first to bear the brunt. They didn’t have time to dodge, and they were well aware of the consequences if Sun Five’s body were to crash into them.

The only thing that could protect them was to block this human weapon. Without any hesitation, the two Su Family Guards fiercely struck out with their hands for a head-on collision with Sun Five’s body.

As members of the Sun Family, Sun Six naturally couldn’t attack like the two from the Su Family. Risking his own injury, he attempted to catch Sun Five instead.

The force of Song Xiaodong’s swing was immense, and that was without even considering the added momentum of Sun Five’s own kick. Sun Six’s approach was undeniably putting him in danger as well.

Accompanied by two screams of agony, the two from the Su Family were struck by the tremendous force and sent flying backwards. Sun Six was hammered away, rolling twice on the ground after falling, and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

The other scream was from Sun Five.

The two from the Su Family were no weaklings; they were of comparable strength to him. Their self-preserving attacks all landed on Sun Five’s body, which could not have been pleasant.

While Sun Five wasn’t beaten to death on the spot, he spat blood profusely. With Song Xiaodong at the center, the blood he sprayed painted a complete circle on the ground.

Once Song Xiaodong loosened his grip, Sun Five flew out like a projectile, right towards several of the Su Family’s masters.

The Su Family members knew full well how powerful Song Xiaodong’s throw could be and hurriedly retreated, but they were crowded together and couldn’t all get clear in time. Those remaining instantly threw punches and palms, trying to stop Sun Five in his tracks.

"No way!" The Sun Family members cried out in unison.

But it was too late. With the sound of body against body, Sun Five knocked over several of the Su Family’s experts before crashing to the ground with a thud.

The Sun Family’s experts rushed over and were immediately filled with grief and rage. Sun Five was, in fact, beaten to death.

Poor Sun Five, a master in his own right, was beaten to death by random blows. What made his death even more humiliating was that the ones who struck him were their allies from the Sun Family, not his enemies.

Sun Five’s death was primarily Song Xiaodong’s fault, but the Sun Family also understood that if the Su Family members had been trying to save Sun Five instead of solely protecting themselves, he wouldn’t have died. Thus, glares of fury were directed at the two Su Family experts who acted first and others who struck Sun Five afterwards.

Song Xiaodong sneered, "What fine allies you are, putting others in mortal danger just to avoid a scratch."

Song Xiaodong’s words further ignited the Sun Family experts’ anger. Their losses were piling up with Sun Five dead and Sun Six severely injured, while the Su Family had escaped relatively unscathed—an imbalance that they could not tolerate.

Su Zhentian spoke in a grave voice, "This is entirely because you used Sun Five as a weapon, lad. And now you’re here stirring up trouble."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, "To me, everyone here is my enemy. Do I really need to sow discord? No matter who attempted to kick me from behind just now, I responded in kind. But the differing responses, that’s on your two families, isn’t it?"

The faces of both the Su and Sun Family members changed slightly at his words. Just as Song Xiaodong had said, his attack was indiscriminate, while the actions of the Su and Sun Families were clearly too disparate.

Old Master of the Su Family’s expression darkened as he said, "Old Sun, if we don’t get rid of this boy, he will become a grave threat to both our families. I propose that our Sun One and my Su Zhentian join forces to execute him. What do you say?"

The Patriarch of the Sun Family spoke through gritted teeth, "That’s exactly right. It’s the only way to avenge our Sun Family’s disciples."

"Su Zhentian!"

"Sun One!"

Both patriarchs cried out in unison.

Su Zhentian and Sun One exchanged a glance, their expressions tinged with helplessness. For martial arts experts of their caliber, winning or losing a one-on-one battle was not a matter of shame.

However, the two of them joining forces to kill someone was a different story. It was an embarrassing proposition for them, but since both Family Heads had given the order, they probably had no way to refuse.

The only choice they had was to step forward.

The Old Master of the Su Family said in a deep voice, "You two must kill Song Xiaodong on the spot!"

Su Zhentian let out a sigh and said, "Yes!"

Sun One also shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes!"

The two turned around and faced Song Xiaodong, all the others immediately backed away.

These two were considered super powerhouses within their respective families, regarded by everyone as the Sea God’s Divine Needle of the two clans.

"This kid’s done for now. With Su Zhentian taking action, no matter how strong he is, he wouldn’t be able to handle both of them."

"Humph, let’s see how cocky this kid can be now. Even if he is strong, what can he do? Can he be stronger than Su Zhentian and Sun One? That’s just laughable."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuan instantly tensed up; the last time they had seen Song Xiaodong severely injured by Su Zhentian. Now it wasn’t just Su Zhentian, but also a veiled woman. Although they hadn’t seen the woman fight, judging by her position as the Sun family’s top martial artist, she was certainly no less skilled than Su Zhentian.

They had no confidence at all now; without even starting, their hearts were already in their throats.

Song Xiaodong paid no mind to the clamor around him, instead, he stood tall and proud, looking at the two, and said arrogantly, "To spar with two great experts today is an honor for me, Song Xiaodong!"

At this moment, Su Zhentian straightened up and shouted, "Although it will make me feel that the victory is undeserved, I will still fight with all my strength and show no mercy."

"Then bring it on! What have I, Song Xiaodong, to fear!" Song Xiaodong roared to the sky, ready to make a move.

"Stop!" Just then, with a loud shout, a series of orderly footsteps suddenly came from the doorway, followed by a large platoon of soldiers marching in formation rushing in.

The faces of the Su Family and Sun Family members changed.

The Patriarchs of the Su Family and Sun Family immediately moved past the crowd to greet the soldiers.

A man in his forties, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, walked energetically at the front.

The Old Master of the Su Family and Patriarch of the Sun Family immediately frowned, as they did not recognize this person.

"Greetings, elders!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then took out a credential and said, "I am Zheng Zhijun, sent from above."

The moment the two family heads saw the credential, their eyes widened. It was a document unknown to the average person, but they could not possibly be unaware of it; it represented the supreme authority from above.

"Greetings, Mr. Zheng!" The two patriarchs responded with great respect; despite their high status, they could not but show reverence to the holder of that credential.

Zheng Zhijun spoke, "My purpose here is straightforward. No matter the reason, those above do not wish to see the situation escalate and certainly do not wish for any loss of life. The way things are going now, it doesn’t look too good."

The faces of the two family heads changed at once!
