Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

"How dare you!" Zeng Yuefeng glared at Qin Heng and roared, "You have no idea how powerful my Zeng Family is! Our family has a legacy spanning over a thousand years, surviving the chaos of the Five Barbarian Invasions and contending for supremacy during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Our lineage has produced countless powerhouses. You are courting death!"

"You're too noisy! Cut the crap! Call your family!" Qin Heng slapped Zeng Yuefeng across the face, instantly drawing blood from his mouth. Dozens of his teeth shattered, and his entire face contorted.

"You will regret this!!" Zeng Yuefeng, trembling with rage, looked at Qin Heng. He wanted to fight back but didn't dare. Qin Heng's strength was terrifying!

In the end, he had no choice but to submit and take out his cell phone.

He dialed his family's number.

「In Youzhou, September was already quite cold.」

In the courtyard of the Zeng Family's headquarters, Zeng Yuechong knelt on the ground, topless. His martial cultivation had been crippled, and his body was covered with lash marks.

His flesh was a mangled mess of blood and gore!

He shivered from the cold but didn't dare to stand up.

"Father, let Big Brother come back!!" Zeng Yuechong shouted towards the main hall in the center of the courtyard, his voice hoarse, his strength nearly exhausted, crying out, "This will bring catastrophe upon the Zeng Family! Father!!"

"Disobedient son! Spouting nonsense!"

A stern shout came from the hall, followed by a whip flying out, CRACKING against Zeng Yuechong's body and adding another bloody gash to his already wounded body.

"I, Zeng Tianzheng, have no cowardly son like you! Worthless!"

A middle-aged man of about forty, wearing a long robe, walked out. He was tall and burly, holding a whip, his expression incredibly grim. He said,

"A mere Qin Xuantian has frightened you to this extent! Our Zeng Family is a Martial Dao family with a thousand-year heritage, yet you're scared of a mere rogue Martial Artist! Shameful! Shameful indeed!!"

"Father! He's not just any rogue Martial Artist! He is Qin Xuantian, Qin Xuantian!" Zeng Yuechong, biting through the pain, said to Zeng Tianzheng, "The invincible Qin Xuantian!"

"The Earth List compiled by the Tianji Pavilion ranks geniuses below the Innate Realm. His so-called invincibility is merely invincibility below the Innate Realm." Zeng Tianzheng said dismissively, "So what if he is invincible beneath the Innate Realm? To our Zeng Family, a mere Qin Xuantian is as insignificant as an ant, mere dust!"

"Father! You are wrong!!" Zeng Yuechong opened his mouth, trying to say more, but Zeng Tianzheng didn't give him the chance and struck him again with the whip!

CRACK!

This lash struck Zeng Yuechong across the mouth, making it bleed profusely and knocking out his teeth. He couldn't speak for a moment and could only lower his head, spitting blood and screaming in agony.

"AH! AH!!"

Zeng Tianzheng watched his son spitting blood, his face devoid of pity. He said calmly, "Yuechong, you are a member of the Zeng Family, the heir to a thousand-year-old Martial Dao family! But your actions truly disappoint me!

"A trivial Qin Xuantian, a mere ant. Your Big Brother Yuefeng took Mr. Ai with him; disposing of such a tiny ant will be effortless. Must we wait for them to bring Qin Xuantian back before you're willing to admit your mistake?"

"Father!!" Zeng Yuechong forcefully suppressed the severe pain in his mouth, looked at Zeng Tianzheng, and said, "You have no idea how powerful Qin Xuantian is! With a flip of his hand, he annihilated Japan's Innate Grandmaster, single-handedly wiped out their Maritime Self-Defense Force, and even destroyed a divine path incarnation of Zhong Shenxi!

"Qin Xuantian is too strong! Even a Semi-Saint might not be his match! Big Brother will be in danger, Mr. Ai will be in danger! You must call them back!"

"Useless!" Zeng Tianzheng snorted coldly. He lifted his palm and pressed down lightly. An invisible force instantly pinned Zeng Yuechong to the ground, rendering him immobile.

"Annihilating an Innate Grandmaster? Wiping out the Maritime Self-Defense Force? Destroying a divine path incarnation of Zhong Shenxi? You believe such ludicrous rumors? Qin Xuantian is just an eighteen-year-old rogue Martial Artist. He absolutely could not possess such strength!"

Zeng Tianzheng didn't believe a single word Zeng Yuechong said.

As the Family Head of a millennia-old family, his experience and knowledge prevented him from believing Qin Xuantian was as powerful as Zeng Yuechong claimed. He had never heard of such a monstrously talented genius.

Only eighteen, crushing an Innate Realm pinnacle expert like an ant, and destroying an army??

Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Even the most absurd fiction wouldn't dare write something like this!!

"Father! Father!! It's true, it's all true!!" Zeng Yuechong lay on the ground, screaming hoarsely, on the verge of despair.

When he learned his father was sending his Big Brother to kill Qin Heng's family, he nearly fainted from terror.

So what if they were a millennia-old family! This was the End of Dharma Age; the strongest in their family was only at the Innate Realm pinnacle. Qin Xuantian could kill a Martial Artist of that level with a single slap!!

"Yuechong, stop spouting nonsense. Look how angry you've made your father," Zeng Yuechong's uncle, Zeng Tianfang, who was Zeng Tianzheng's third younger brother, said as he walked out.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle! Please persuade my father, he doesn't believe what I'm saying!" Zeng Yuechong, as if seeing his savior, quickly said to Zeng Tianfang, "Third Uncle! Qin Xuantian is truly powerful, incredibly powerful!!"

"Unfilial son! Shut your mouth! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll kill you with my own hands!" Zeng Tianzheng, his face ashen with rage, waved his hand. Zeng Yuechong was sent flying, crashing into a wall. The bindings all over his body snapped and shattered!

He lay slumped against the wall like a pile of soft mud.

"Eldest Brother, don't be so angry." Zeng Tianfang approached Zeng Tianzheng. "Yuechong is also concerned for the family, afraid we'll offend a powerful figure beyond reconciliation."

"Powerful, my foot!" Zeng Tianzheng glared coldly at Zeng Yuechong and said sternly, "This unfilial son! Out of fear, he was actually willing to hand over all our family's records about the Immortal Mansion relics to that damned Qin Xuantian!

"If he weren't my son, I would have killed this traitorous beast on the spot! Unfilial son! You think Qin Xuantian is strong, don't you? You said he's invincible, didn't you?

"Then I'll have your Big Brother kill Qin Xuantian's family! I'd like to see if this so-called Qin Wudi dares to come to Youzhou and seek revenge on the Zeng Family!"

"Father..." Zeng Yuechong, despite his grievous injuries, struggled to lift his head. Mustering all his strength, he gasped, "Please don't... This will bring... bring utter disaster... upon the Zeng Family!"

"Unfilial son!!" Zeng Tianzheng, consumed by rage, raised his whip to strike Zeng Yuechong again.

DING-A-LING-A-LING!

Just then, a cell phone rang. Zeng Tianfang quickly picked up the nearby phone and handed it to Zeng Tianzheng. "Eldest Brother, it's a video call from Yuefeng."

"Yuefeng?" Zeng Tianzheng paused, taking the phone. He glared at Zeng Yuechong. "It seems your Big Brother has already killed Qin Xuantian's family! Unfilial son, I'll deal with you later!!"

With that, he answered the video call.

The next instant, the expression on Zeng Tianzheng's face froze. His pupils contracted violently, shrinking to the size of pinpricks!

"Impossible!!"

Watching the video, he was utterly horrified. He stumbled back four or five steps, crashing heavily into the door panel behind him with a loud BANG.

"This is absolutely impossible!!"
