Chapter 2049: Chapter 2049: Demon-Subduing Palm!
"Anyone here not afraid to die just like him, now’s the time to step forward on your own."
Long Qie glanced over the crowd, speaking slowly.
After hearing his words, everyone from the Cao Family felt a chill in their hearts, subsequently looking at Cao Zhenxiong with eyes almost pleading, hoping he might change his mind. After all, none of them wanted to die.
With just two sentences, Long Qie managed to push Cao Zhenxiong and his son to the brink of complete betrayal by their kin.
Feeling the gaze of the crowd, Cao Zhenxiong involuntarily clenched his molars, anger also surfacing in his eyes: "Do you all even remember the family precepts? No matter the time or place, or what happens, the Cao Family should stick together!"
"They’re trying to kill Xin’er now. Do you no longer consider Xin’er a Cao Family member?"
In the face of his questioning, none of the crowd felt any guilt.
"This is trouble Cao Xin brought upon himself. If he doesn’t want to bear it, why drag everyone to die with him?"
"Exactly, uncle, do you not realize how powerful Sky Net is? Going against Sky Net is sheer suicide! Do you want to destroy the Cao Family’s legacy of hundreds of years all at once?"
"Third uncle, if you truly know Cao Xin’s whereabouts, for the family, just speak up."
"Family Head, I don’t want to die..."
The crowd joined in, all hoping that Cao Zhenxiong wouldn’t drag the entire Cao Family to die with Cao Xin.
Feeling the crowd’s intent, Cao Zhenxiong’s face grew darker. He hadn’t anticipated that he held no real authority in this family.
But it was normal after all, when faced with matters of life and death, no one wanted to be dragged and die in vain.
Seeing Cao Zhenxiong looking pale, Long Qie sneered coldly, then said: "I’ll give you ten seconds to decide. If you haven’t made up your mind after ten seconds, then every minute afterward, I’ll kill one person."
"There are dozens of you gathered here from the Cao Family, enough for me to kill for about an hour."
"Enough with the nonsense, the countdown starts now!"
Hearing these words, Cao Zhenxiong’s face changed drastically, as he realized Long Qie wasn’t bluffing.
Words can fabricate lies, but killing intent can’t be faked at all!
Especially since ten seconds passed in a blink, leaving virtually no time for Cao Zhenxiong to think!
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
On the other side, Long Qie began counting.
Yet Cao Zhenxiong seemed acupressured, standing still, motionless.
Witnessing this, many Cao Family members wished they could replace Cao Zhenxiong themselves and accept Long Qie’s terms.
Seeing the ten seconds swiftly pass, with three seconds left, Cao Zhenxiong’s face suddenly turned fierce, then he shouted loudly: "Guardian Cheng, Guardian Li! Swiftly save my Cao Family!"
With his shouting, two mighty forces suddenly erupted within the manor.
Long Qie halted counting, then glanced towards the depths of the manor, his expression instantly becoming a bit playful: "Oh wow, who would’ve thought your Cao Family actually hides a Great Grandmaster Realm and a Martial Saint Realm expert."
"But do you really think these two can save your Cao Family today?"
Upon hearing that, Cao Zhenxiong, who had retreated afar, said coldly: "Regardless of whether they can save us, as long as there’s a chance, I won’t give up! I absolutely won’t hand over my son to you!"
With his words, the two protectors from the Cao Family had already rushed to the front.
One tall, one short, one fat, one thin.
Their aura intertwined, creating a dragon’s roar and tiger’s howl, clearly indicating they had cultivated some joint secret technique.
Long Qie’s eyes were arrogant; he gazed over the two and nearly without hesitation, transformed his Gang Qi into a giant axe, then charged at them!
At the same time, his aura also erupted suddenly!
Just Long Qie’s aura alone suppressed the aura of the two protectors from the Cao Family!
The two were scared, hurriedly attacking, trying to block Long Qie’s advance.
"Demon Suppressing Fist!"
"Shattering Stone Kick!"
The two attacked in perfect tandem, one targeting the upper three points, the other the lower three.
If anyone else were here, they might have been intimidated by the duo’s coordination, yet Long Qie faced them fearlessly, even a hint of contempt floated in his eyes.
"I don’t care if it’s Demon Suppressing Fist or Shattering Stone Kick, dare ruin my plans; I’ll chop you both down with an axe!"
Long Qie laughed grimly, then directly chopped down with the giant axe!
The sharp Gang Qi forced the two protectors of the Cao Family to retreat and evade!
Yet no matter how they dodged, they couldn’t escape Long Qie’s axe!
He first cleaved the protector at the Great Grandmaster Realm, then surged forward and split the last protector in two!
Two corpses, divided into four!
The fight had just begun, yet was already over!
As everyone, including Cao Zhenxiong, looked at the corpses lying in the pool of blood, a chill gripped their extremities! Especially Cao Zhenxiong, a flash of despair crossed his eyes; he hadn’t expected the two protectors wouldn’t withstand even one move from Long Qie!
"Now it’s your turn."
"I thought of sparing you, but you just don’t measure up."
"Since you insist on seeking death, I’ll grant you that."
With Long Qie’s words hanging, he charged directly at Cao Zhenxiong.
Being just an ordinary man, Cao Zhenxiong merely felt his vision blur, and when it cleared again, Long Qie was already in front of him!
Before he could resist the urge to scream, Long Qie had already swung the axe down at him!
Crack!
Swiftly, Cao Zhenxiong was directly slain by Long Qie.
Long Qie indeed acted like he mentioned before, wasted no words with him; even though he hadn’t learned Cao Xin’s whereabouts from his mouth, he seemed indifferent.
"Now, it’s your turn."
"Unlike him, I can still give you a chance."
"If any one of you can tell me where to find Cao Xin, I’ll spare you."
Long Qie glanced over everyone, speaking slowly.
As for the giant axe already stained with the blood of three, it still remained in his grasp.
This scene undoubtedly held immense intimidation!
Especially with the axe still dripping blood, it was truly gruesome to behold!
As time quietly ticked away and Long Qie’s patience gradually ran out, suddenly, from the crowd, a pale young man shivered, raising his hand to say: "I, I may know where to find Cao Xin..."
Hearing him, Long Qie’s eyes suddenly lit up!
