From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 74 The Bloodbath of the Guo Family

He saw Zhou Anshao die.

Guo Yun's face immediately stiffened.

"What...what did you do...?"

He looked at Qin Wu with disbelief.

Guo Muqing, who was standing to the side, was equally shocked.

Neither of them expected that Qin Wu would kill Zhou Anshao so decisively.

Upon seeing their master die, the remaining martial artists who had undergone blood purification and marrow cleansing gritted their teeth and charged towards Qin Wu.

"You're asking for it!"

Although they knew Qin Wu was powerful, they couldn't just do nothing.

However, the next moment, Qin Wu simply looked up at them indifferently.

The group of people were frozen in place as if they had been frozen in place, not daring to even breathe.

"roll."

Qin Wu uttered a single word indifferently.

The next second, those people scrambled away from the restaurant, fearing that Qin Wu would chase after them and kill them.

After doing all this, Qin Wu calmly spoke:

"A good-for-nothing who bullies the weak, just kill him."

"But... he's the young master of Qingyun Restaurant. If you kill him, the Zhou family won't let you off the hook."

Guo Yun felt that her voice was a little hoarse.

Qin Wu's eyes flickered slightly, a faint smile curving his lips, and then he said:

"That's great."

Guo Yun reacted very quickly; he immediately figured out why Qin Wu had done this.

"You want to cause trouble for the Zhou family, just for the Divine Elephant Skill?"

He didn't understand at all.

The Divine Elephant Skill is indeed a very good skill, but it's not worth offending a powerful force just for such a skill.

Moreover, what they said before was nothing more than speculation.

"Alright."

Qin Wu stood up.

Although he was used to fighting, he couldn't eat when there was a corpse on the ground.

He paid no attention to the grandfather and grandson behind him who kept kowtowing and thanking him.

We met by chance, and it was just a casual encounter.

Guo Yun and Guo Muqing quickly stood up and followed.

They exchanged a glance, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.

There was even a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Perhaps there really is hope for their family.

First, they destroyed the stronghold of Yanyu Tower, and then they so decisively killed Zhou Anshao.

Zhou Anshao was nothing special, but the few martial artists who had undergone blood transfusion and marrow cleansing behind him were crushed like toys in Qin Wu's hands.

This is enough to prove that Qin Wu's strength is at least at the level of nourishing the heart and opening the meridians, and he may even be considered one of the best among them.

Having such an ally.

They might actually have a chance to survive against that top-tier assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion.

As for anything else, they naturally didn't dare to think about it anymore.

So the brother and sister quickly led Qin Wu towards the Guo family's home.

Meanwhile, news of Zhou Anshao's death had already reached the Zhou family.

When the head of the Zhou family saw his son's corpse, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Who killed my son?"

He said angrily.

This was his only son, who died silently, while those martial artists who underwent blood transfusion and marrow cleansing lived on as well.

This left him speechless with anger.

The few martial artists who had escaped and undergone blood transfusion and marrow cleansing kept their heads down, not daring to raise their heads at all.

Although the Zhou family is somewhat inferior to the Guo family in terms of martial arts, the Zhou family head in front of us is a genuine expert in cultivating the mind and opening the meridians.

"explain!"

The Zhou family patriarch roared, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Seeing this, one person spoke up tremblingly:

"We don't know the person who did it, but there were two younger members of the Guo family with him."

"The Guo family? Well done, truly admirable!"

He gritted his teeth.

But for the time being, he really didn't have any good solutions.

The Guo family's martial arts skills were already stronger than theirs.

He would go find assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion to deal with the Guo family himself, but before that, he would never directly cause trouble for the Guo family.

Perhaps the Guo family already suspects that they were responsible.

However, without concrete evidence, the Guo family could not make up their minds to fight the Zhou family to the death.

However, if he were to cause trouble for the Guo family at this time, the Guo family, which was already on the verge of collapse, might actually fight him to the death.

"Go and find out where he is right now, then let me know!"

The head of the Zhou family spoke.

The Guo family is out of options now.

But he will definitely kill the person who killed his son!

It didn't take long for someone to come back and report.

"Master, the man who killed the young master has already followed Guo Yun into the Guo family."

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family patriarch burst into laughter.

He spoke with a ferocious expression:

"If that's the case, then that's a good thing."

If nothing unexpected happens, the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion will soon make their move against the Guo family. That idiot is doomed.

Then he sneered and said:

"Keep a close eye on the Guo family's movements. If any problems arise, I will go to the Guo family's house immediately to see if there are any survivors inside."

In case any escapees, this will help them on their way.

He understood the principle of eliminating problems at their root very well.

And this moment.

Qin Wu and his siblings have returned to the Guo family.

After the brother and sister introduced Qin Wu's situation, the entire Guo family showed great enthusiasm.

The head of the Guo family spoke up:

"Young brother, to be honest, a top-tier assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion might appear at my Guo family's residence tonight. If you wish to leave now, it's not too late."

Once night falls, things will become dangerous.

However, if you are willing to help my Guo family through this calamity, my entire Guo family will be eternally grateful. Gold, silver, treasures, cultivation resources—anything belonging to my Guo family—you may take as you please; I will not object.

At this moment, the head of the Guo family was truly driven to desperation.

Compared to this money, life is the most important thing.

Originally, the Guo family had two martial artists at the Meridian Opening Realm, but now, he is the only one in the entire Guo family at the Meridian Opening Realm.

"Don't worry, senior. I've come here to find that assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion."

Although the Guo family patriarch had already heard about Qin Wu's purpose, his expression was still somewhat strange.

However, he also knew that while Guo Muqing might be naive and inexperienced, Guo Yun was not.

Since Guo Yun trusts Qin Wu so much, this man must truly have some ability.

In addition to himself, a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm, there were also many other martial artists at the Inner Three Gates level in the Guo family.

Perhaps there really is hope of defeating the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"In that case, please wait, young man."

Qin Wu stayed at the Guo family's residence. With nothing else to do, he spent his days and nights honing his martial arts skills.

He is still a long way from achieving the state of nourishing the heart and opening the meridians.

Since there was no suitable cultivation method, the elephant soul was fusing, but the speed was not fast.

At this rate, it will probably take several more months to complete the fusion.

Qin Wu did not stop his cultivation until nightfall.

After dinner, Qin Wu remained calm.

However, the Guo family members looked increasingly tense.

Because what follows is the real life-or-death crisis for the Guo family.

If they don't survive this ordeal today, the Guo family will cease to exist tomorrow.

Guo Yun walked to Qin Wu's side and then whispered to him:

"Brother Qin, the Heavenly-level assassin of Misty Rain Pavilion is exceptionally strong. Even ordinary martial artists at the Heart Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm would probably not be able to withstand more than a few moves from him."

My second uncle went missing the day before yesterday; he was probably killed by a top-tier assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"If that Heavenly-level assassin comes later, you stay in the rear and let my Guo family disciples weaken him first. Then you and my father can join forces. With your combined strength as two Qi Cultivation and Meridian Opening martial artists, you might be able to hold him off."

"Oh? So you're not afraid of dying?"

Qin Wu looked at Guo Yun with some surprise.

He hadn't expected the Guo family to do this.

Guo Yun gripped his sword and then solemnly spoke:

"Of course we're afraid, but we have no choice. If we can't stop the Heavenly-level assassin today, everyone will die. Since that's the case, those of us who have achieved mastery of martial arts should naturally stand at the forefront."

Not only him, but Guo Muqing also had a resolute expression, though beneath that resolute face lay an uncontrollable panic.

Qin Wu chuckled softly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

He had to admit that the Guo family's behavior surprised him somewhat.

Qin Wu closed his eyes to rest. In the night sky, the bright moon hung high, and the stars in the sky were countless.

But before we knew it, dark clouds drifted overhead, obscuring the bright moon that hung high in the sky.

At the same time, a rumbling thunderclap sounded.

Golden lightning flashed intermittently within the dark clouds.

Suddenly, large raindrops began to fall.

The wetness made everyone present even more nervous.

"Everyone be careful!"

The head of the Guo family spoke.

But just then, a scream rang out.

A member of the Guo family, who was standing on the edge, fell to the ground, and those around him didn't even have time to react.

"They're here!"

"The assassin is here!"

Everyone was terrified.

"Don't panic!"

The head of the Guo family shouted, hoping everyone could remain calm.

But before he could finish speaking, another person died.

His movements remained as elusive as a ghost.

"You bastard, get out here right now!"

Guo Yun suddenly took a few steps forward and then shouted angrily at those around him.

This bizarre situation was becoming unbearable for him.

If this continues, the Guo family will be terrified even before that person takes any further action, and then they won't be able to fight.

However, despite shouting this, he didn't really expect the person to appear.

But suddenly, a figure in black slowly emerged from the shadows of the doorway.

"A life for a thousand taels of silver, such a deal is extremely rare."

His voice was hoarse, yet it possessed a terrifying quality that sent chills down one's spine.

The Guo family patriarch's face darkened upon hearing this.

Even if the Guo family sold everything they owned, they still couldn't afford such a price.

So he spoke in despair:

"My Guo family has many elderly, weak, women and children. Could you spare their lives? If so, we are willing to commit suicide."

The top-tier assassins of the Misty Rain Pavilion are definitely not something the Guo family can contend with.

Even with Qin Wu present, he had no confidence whatsoever.

If the other party were willing to spare the lives of the elderly, women, and children, he would truly be willing to commit suicide here, just to give the Guo family a way out.

The top-tier assassin had a cold expression.

"Your Guo family has fifty-three members, including the elderly, women, and children, which amounts to fifty-three thousand taels of silver. What will you offer in exchange?"

"Are they really leaving us no way out at all?"

The head of the Guo family spoke.

The top-tier assassin uttered a single sentence calmly.

"Leave no one alive in the Guo family."

We received this definitive answer.

No one in the Guo family still harbored any illusions.

"Gentlemen, at this critical juncture for the Guo family, no one can back down. Starting with myself, even if we all perish today, we will show this Misty Rain Pavilion that the Guo family is not to be trifled with!"

The head of the Guo family shouted loudly.

Lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the grief-stricken and desperate face of the Guo family patriarch.

"A fight to the death!"

"A fight to the death!"

All the Guo family disciples were shouting wildly.

"kill!"

The head of the Guo family suddenly spoke.

The next second, many of the Guo family members rushed towards the Heavenly-level assassin like madmen.

Guo Yun and Guo Muqing also drew their swords and joined in.

Faced with this scene, the Heavenly-level assassin drew his sword and charged forward, his target being the head of the Guo family.

Even a top-tier assassin knows very well that killing the strongest among them first is the only way to break their will to fight.

Along the way, many members of the Guo family stood in the way of the Heavenly-level assassins, but they were all easily dealt with by the Heavenly-level assassins.

No one could stop the advance of this top-tier assassin.

Seeing this situation.

The head of the Guo family felt a deep sadness in his heart.

The battle didn't go as he expected; the assassin was too decisive.

If the assassin exhausts himself fighting with the Guo family members, he might have a chance to defeat this top-tier assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion.

But now, all those ideas are meaningless.

He took a deep breath, drew his sword, and then said to Qin Wu:

"Young man, the situation is not what we thought. You should leave now. He only wants the lives of the entire Guo family, not you."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate at all and charged directly towards the Misty Rain Pavilion's top-level assassin.

However, even though he had tried his best, it was of little use against the top-level assassins of the Misty Rain Pavilion.

There is a huge difference between nourishing the heart and unblocking the meridians.

His opponent's ghostly speed left him completely unable to launch an attack.

After barely managing to withstand a dozen or so moves, he was sent flying by a sword strike.

Even though he blocked the opponent's sword with his own, after being knocked away, his sword broke, and a bloody gash on his chest was exposed to everyone.

He gripped the broken sword and knelt on one knee.

"It seems that today, Heaven intends to destroy the Guo family."

He spoke up unwillingly, but ultimately he was powerless to do anything.

The other Guo family disciples also wore expressions of despair.

The top-tier assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion walked step by step toward the head of the Guo family.

His face was cold and indifferent, but his killing intent was palpable.

Guo Yun's face was filled with despair.

"What have my Guo family done to deserve this treatment?!"

Tears streamed down his face in the pouring rain.

"rest assured."

A calm voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

It's Qin Wu!

Qin Wu stood there the whole time, watching the two sides fight.

If you want to be saved by others, you must first save yourself.

He has no relation to the Guo family, so even if he were to take action, he would first consider whether the Guo family is worth taking action against.

If it's not worth his time, he wouldn't hesitate to kill the entire Guo family.

Now he feels that the Guo family might be worth saving.

"Your Guo family cannot be destroyed."

Qin Wu spoke calmly.
