Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Kill! (Please collect, recommend tickets)

“`

“Pfft!”

Blood splattered out as Liang Shaohui’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Under that disbelief, there was intense despair and fear.

“No, no…”

Liang Shaohui covered his chest where a golden thread ran, ending in a black dagger, and at that moment, the black dagger had plunged deeply into his heart.

He tried to speak, but only found breathing getting more difficult, as if many things were stuck in his throat, preventing him from saying a word.

Finally, Liang Shaohui stared with wide eyes as he fell to the ground, his eyes not closing even in death.

Until the last moments before his death, Liang Shaohui had not understood why Su Han dared to lay a hand on him and why someone from a small family in Yuanshan County would dare to kill him.

“Whoosh!”

With a flick of Su Han’s palm, the golden thread was quickly retracted, and the blood on the dagger shivered slightly before disappearing completely.

This dagger, also specially refined by Su Han, should rank among weapons at the Top-Grade Silver Level due to material limitations.

A Top-Grade Silver Level weapon was extremely precious even for Yuanshan County.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to his dagger; instead, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Su Han, filled with disbelief.

Even Xiao Yuhui felt the same!

“You, you killed him?”

Finally, someone spoke up, and following that, the dead silence was broken, and a wave of commotion swept through the hall.

“That’s the Young Master of the Liang Family from Yunyang County City!”

“Liang Shaohui died in our Xiao Family, this will be the end of us once word gets out!”

“Although the Young Miss is an Elder of the Inner Sect of Cold Cloud Sect, the Liang Family also has people in the Cold Cloud Sect, and they are much stronger than our Xiao Family, what should we do now?”

Anxious voices filled the air, and no one dared blame Su Han; they simply didn’t know what to do.

“Su Han!”

At that moment, Xiao Yuhui spoke up, “Aren’t you being too decisive? Whatever the case, this is happening at the Su Family, if you wanted to kill someone, couldn’t you have warned us first?”

“What good would telling you do?”

Su Han glanced at Xiao Yuhui indifferently, “People like Liang Shaohui, if not killed, would think we were afraid of him and would only become more outrageous.”

“But no matter what, he was the Young Master of the Liang Family. By killing him, you’ve brought a catastrophe upon the Xiao Family!” Xiao Yuhui said urgently.

“So what would you have me do? Like the Su Family did, expel my father and me once again?” Su Han responded calmly.

“No way!”

Xiao Yuran immediately ran over and embraced Su Han’s arm, “Little Su Han is my husband, I won’t allow anyone to expel him!”

“I didn’t say we would expel him.”

Xiao Yuhui pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, “Su Han isn’t wrong in his actions. Liang Shaohui bullied us to the extreme. Killing him was justified, but it was done hastily, without enough consideration.”

“I don’t think he acted without consideration. Liang Shaohui was a lecher, it’s Su Han’s ability to be able to kill him,” said Xiao Yuran proudly, showing blind worship for Su Han.

“First, seal off the news,” Xiao Hengshan said solemnly.

Everyone nodded as the recruitment of disciples by Cold Cloud Sect was imminent; they would delay the news as much as possible.

“`

Furthermore, with Su Han’s talent, he’s bound to capture the attention of the Cold Cloud Sect. Once he joins the Sect, even if the Liang Family learns it was Su Han’s doing, what can they possibly do?

Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui had stood there with their mouths agape, but upon hearing Xiao Hengshan’s words, they quickly tiptoed out of the great hall.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Su Han, what, what are you going to do?” their complexions changed.

They were utterly convinced now; if Su Han dared to proclaim to kill Liang Shaohui and did so, did he even care about them?

“What do you think?”

Su Han looked at them flatly and said, “Do you remember what I said back when I was in the Su Family?”

Their hearts jumped wildly, and they hastily backed away.

Su Mingxuan turned his head to Patriarch Xiao and said, “Patriarch Xiao, we were coerced by Liang Shaohui; we truly had no choice! You know, the Liang Family is powerful. How could we dare to disobey his orders?”

Xiao Hengshan’s eyelids twitched as if he had not heard a thing.

Seeing this, Su Mingxuan then turned to Xiao Yuhui and said, “Miss, I swear I will never speak a word of this matter. If I reveal even a whisper, may lightning strike me dead!”

Xiao Yuhui shook her head, seemingly also deaf to his plea.

Utter despair filled their hearts, but then their gazes inadvertently caught Su Yunming, who had been sitting there all along.

“Thump!”

Su Mingxuan immediately knelt down, knocking his head several times on the ground before Su Yunming, while sadly saying, “Uncle, please don’t let Su Han kill us! No matter what, we are still members of the Su Family, carrying the Su bloodline. For the sake of our family, please spare us this once!”

“A rotten piece of wood cannot be carved.” Su Yunming shook his head and uttered just this phrase.

At this moment, Su Han was gradually approaching the two of them.

Each step he took seemed to stomp on their hearts, causing their whole bodies to tremble, and their faces to turn deathly pale.

“Su Han, we are brothers!” Su Minghui cried out, snot and tears streaming down his face.

“Brothers? Hahaha…”

Su Han burst into laughter: “When we were in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, why didn’t you say we were brothers? When we were in the Su Family, why didn’t you say we were brothers? Before Liang Shaohui died, why didn’t you say we were brothers?!”

“I admit that I was excessive before, but I truly regret it now. Just spare us this time, and once I return to the clan, I will definitely plead with our father to let you return to the Su Family. You are still one of us!” Su Minghui said urgently.

“You think I want to return to the Su Family?”

Su Han showed disdain: “I once told you, if you dared to do another thing that displeased me, I would take your lives. Yet, it seems like you all treated my words as nothing but wind.”

“I…”

“Swoosh!”

Before Su Mingxuan and the other could make their case, Su Han lost his patience.

With a sweep of his hand, the golden thread and dagger appeared once more, circling around Su Minghui’s neck before plunging deeply into Su Mingxuan’s forehead with a guided thrust.

“No, no!!!”

Seeing Su Mingxuan killed on the spot, Su Minghui was filled with utter despair.

Yet, Su Han yanked hard, and the golden thread wrapped around Su Minghui’s neck was forcefully pulled out.

Red blood gradually flowed from the incision on Su Minghui’s neck.

And so, eyes wide open, his head dropped to the ground moments later, causing everyone who witnessed the scene to constrict their pupils in shock.
