Chapter 73: Chapter 72: The Evil Omen Must Die (Part 18)_1
“`
There is no such thing as the most violent, only more violent.
When dealing with targets that can penetrate everything and take advantage of any opportunity,
if peeling thread from silk doesn’t work, then it would be a better choice to cut off the enemy’s supply from the base.
Without any hesitation, Fu Qian placed his hand on the Mist Gate in front of him.

“Mr. Fu, your feast is ready.”
The familiar restaurant appeared before his eyes once more.
In his perception, Geng Yue remained motionless in the corner, outside Lu Jun and another person stopped in their tracks, looking inside with confusion.
Savoring the aroma of the food, Fu Qian stuffed a piece into his mouth, then immediately got up and walked out, brushing past Lu Jun and his companion as they entered to investigate.
…
“Who goes there?”
At the entrance of the Huang Family Estate, two guards watched warily as a figure flew towards them, shouting out their challenge.
However, the target ignored them completely, sweeping past directly.
The guards, shocked and pale, exchanged looks and quickly pressed a button, setting off a loud alarm.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Fu Qian charged straight in, heading directly for Old Master Huang’s courtyard.
And in his perception, the people summoned by the alarm were rapidly converging behind him.
Clang!
Fu Qian kicked the courtyard door open and was unsurprised to see the bloody scene inside.
Indeed, the Evil Omen had acted even earlier this time.
But that didn’t matter, as he didn’t come here to catch him.
With his back to the courtyard door, Fu Qian stood still.
Soon, the coming Huang Family members had caught up and surrounded the courtyard completely.
The horrific scene inside was so shocking that the group was filled with horror, and no one dared to advance.
“Who are you? Why commit such a heinous act?”
At last, Huang Leji, anguished and with his hair standing in anger, cried out as he arrived on the scene.
Fu Qian slowly turned around, his face hidden behind a smiling mask brought from the restaurant, causing Old Master Huang to start in astonishment.
“A vile miscreant, daring to commit murder but too cowardly to show your true face?”
“My true face?”
Fu Qian let out a cold laugh, slowly removing the mask to reveal Huang Yuanchang’s face.
“Yuanchang! It’s actually you!”
All were shocked, and Huang Leji was especially enraged.
“The Huang Family has treated you well, why would you do such a thing?”
You see, as long as one wears a mask, there are few who question the authenticity of the face beneath.
“Treated me well, ha ha ha ha!”
Fu Qian let out a string of desolate laughter.
“Are you referring to this deformed dignity, or even with this dignity, still having no Cultivation Talent? Should I be filled with gratitude?”
“It is the Huang Family who has wronged me, Huang Leji.”
Fu Qian bellowed at the family head, addressing him by name.
“But all that is in the past, I have now received a gift you cannot even comprehend.”
“Today is just the beginning—within three days, I will make the entire Xi Yuan City Huang Family my sacrificial offering, each and every one of you…”
Fu Qian looked around coldly.
“Will end up just like him.”
“You dare to exterminate my Huang Family members, such bold words! Do you really think you can leave here today?”
Huang Leji laughed in furious disbelief.
However, Fu Qian didn’t pay him any heed. Having thrown down his harsh words, he burst into motion and took off running.
The surrounding crowd was still in shock, and by the time they snapped out of it, it was too late to stop him.
“Stop right there!”
At that moment, a figure leaped over the crowd, chasing after him.
Shrouded in bright yellow, it was none other than Huang Lezhan, the number one person of the Huang Family.
“`
Fifth Phase Transcendents are not to be trifled with, Huang Lezhan attacked with fury, his movements lightning-fast as he threw a punch at Fu Qian’s back, powerful as thunder.
Fu Qian, still in mid-air, spun around as if his back had eyes, meeting Huang Lezhan’s fist with his right foot.
At the same time, he rapidly tapped his fingers, releasing five whistling Air Bullets.
Amidst the gusting wind and the heavy sound of their clash, Fu Qian used the rebounding force to leap up again.
Huang Lezhan wanted to pursue, but his expression changed drastically the next moment as he twisted his body to dodge several Air Bullets.
However, the distance was too short, and his left arm was hit. His body shuddered, and he slanted downward.
“I’m fine!”
Pushing away those who came to assist him, Huang Lezhan held his shoulder, looking at his elder brother.
“What do we do now?”
The latter’s face was ashen, his brows furrowed deeply.
“This madman, our Huang Family has actually bred such a traitor!”
“Although I don’t know how he got so strong, he actually said he would slaughter all of our Huang Family members within three days…”
“Our Huang Family has stood for a hundred years; no one, no matter who, has the right to make such grand claims!”
Huang Leji snorted coldly, his gaze sinister.
“Notify the Night Watchman, say that an Evil Omen has appeared at the Huang Family, has committed a bloodbath, and plans to kill everyone within three days…”
“Also, have everyone outside return to the highest alert, no one is allowed to leave without my order. If Huang Yuanchang is spotted in the estate, exterminate without mercy!”
…
Fu Qian didn’t hesitate before assuming the mantle of the murderer, threatening to wipe out the entire Huang Family next, heading straight for the nearest Transcendent’s abode.
Kicking the door in, amidst screams, Fu Qian slapped the woman who jumped out of bed naked without a hint of politeness, sending her sprawling back onto the bed.
Sleeping soundly in broad daylight.
How can you sleep at a time like this?
At your age, how can you be sleeping?
And to top it off, sleeping naked!
Don’t you have the slightest sense of crisis?
Looking at the woman bewildered by the slap, Fu Qian stepped forward.
The next moment, lethal intent surged, and the bright glint of a blade filled his vision.
So quick!
Far from being alarmed, Fu Qian was delighted, retreating half a step sideways, narrowly avoiding the attack.
A figure clad in black, Su Gao, landed softly, her Curved Sword unsheathed, her gaze calm as water.
…
Always so reliable!
Fu Qian looked at Su Gao with satisfaction.
Based on his knowledge of Huang Leji, he was sure Huang would consider seeking help from the Night Watchman.
He had intentionally not concealed his tracks on the way there to lure Su Gao to follow him.
The next moment, Fu Qian saw a glimmer of recognition in her eyes.
You can recognize me even with a mask on?
Su Gao remained silent, casting a glance at both Fu Qian and the woman on the bed. In the latter’s terrified eyes, she casually flung her scabbard, hitting the woman’s face solidly.
The naked woman passed out without hesitation.
“Mr. Fu…”
Su Gao bowed in respect.
“I’m so relieved that you’re unharmed!”
“By sheer luck.”
Fu Qian removed his mask, admitting his identity as he had already adjusted his face back on the road.
Seeing his face, Su Gao’s perpetually unchanging expression momentarily became animated.
“Did you come here because of the Evil Omen?”
“Yes.”
Fu Qian nodded.
“We don’t have much time, I need your full cooperation for what’s to come, or something far worse than before will happen here.”
An incident worse than the last…
Su Gao’s eyes sharpened as she slowly nodded her head.
“Alright!”
