Chapter 399 - His Strength Was Terrible and the Oriole Was Behind Him
At that moment, the Third Elder burst into the room.
Xu Tianming, upon seeing the Third Elder, flashed a sycophantic smile and hastened to meet him.
“Third Elder, welcome!”
“Do you have any instructions for us?”
Xu Weizhong, on the other hand, grimaced and averted his face, clearly loath to lay eyes on the Third Elder.
But now, his foolish son had invited trouble into their midst, and the Hsu Family was no longer truly his.
He had recognized the formidable nature of those from the Nether King's Hall; he was utterly outmatched!
The fate of the Hsu Family now hung in the balance, subject to the whims of destiny.
The Third Elder gave Xu Tianming a brief look before turning his attention to the brooding Xu Weizhong.
He had overheard every word Xu Weizhong had uttered.
Xu Weizhong, the astute man that he was, knew far too much. He could very well become a liability in the unfolding events.
Thus, the Third Elder was determined to nip any potential threats in the bud.
Approaching Xu Weizhong with a smile, the Third Elder said,
“Master Xu, you worry unnecessarily. Now that the Hsu Family has pledged allegiance to the Nether King's Hall, you are under our protection. Anyone who dares to harm you is challenging us directly!”
With that strike, the Third Elder's Genuine Qi had infiltrated Xu Wei Zhong's brain, throwing his thoughts into chaos.
Xu Wei Zhong was now in a vegetative state.
Even if he did wake up, he'd be nothing short of a fool.
Relieved by the Third Elder's words, Xu Tianming quickly stepped forward to help his father.
But just then, a glint of cold steel flashed, aiming straight for the Third Elder's throat!
The Third Elder's complexion turned ashen as he felt the icy sting at his back. He twisted away in an eerie retreat, but the relentless blade followed, clinging like a relentless parasite.
“Ugh!”
The blade slashed across the Third Elder's throat, eliciting a guttural sound from him.
He jerked violently, eyes bulging, then turned rigidly to face his assailant.
“You...”
He never finished his sentence; a gush of blood sprayed from his throat, splattering three feet away.
“Thud!”
He collapsed to the ground.
Beside him, Xu Tianming snapped out of his shock, his face contorted with horror as he released his grip on Xu Wei Zhong.
Poor Xu Wei Zhong hit the floor hard, the back of his head smacking against the ground, causing further injury.
