Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 941: Settling Karma and Restoring the True Name (Part 2)

"You worthless whore!"

The sudden revelation from Thousand Household Guo made Ling Hongfeng, who had been shrinking in a corner, unable to restrain himself any longer as he burst out cursing, "I must have been blind to marry you!"

Under everyone’s gaze, he thumped onto his knees before Wang Chen, tears streaming down his face as he begged pitifully, "Zhiyuan, I swear I did not kill your father, he was my own elder brother, it’s all the Tong Clan’s treachery!"

"I lost five hundred thousand taels in the Tong Clan’s gambling house and couldn’t pay it back, so they used that to blackmail me into becoming the Ling Family Head and then made me marry Tong Baodai, this wretched woman, before they swooped in like a dove taking over a magpie’s nest, swallowing up our Ling Family."

"Believe me, I am your uncle!"

The Lings present all listened with their eyes wide and jaws dropped, especially a few of the family elders, who could not believe their ears.

The real culprit behind Ling Hongyun’s death was indeed the Tong Clan.

Although Ling Hongfeng tried his best to disassociate himself from any fault, no one there was a fool—how could they not understand the truth?

Tong Wanshan flew into a towering rage, "Ling Hongfeng, do you fucking want to die?" freёnovelkiss.com

Before his words fell, he fiercely raised his right palm and smacked it down hard toward Ling Hongfeng, shouting, "How dare you slander the Tong Clan!"

Tong Wanshan was a tier-four Martial General with significant strength, while Ling Hongfeng, a debauchee drained by wine and women, was no match for this patriarch of the Tong Clan and his father-in-law!

As Tong Wanshan erupted without warning, those around him were largely unprepared, and Ling Hongfeng was about to be killed by his palm when his wrist was suddenly grasped by someone.

A mere half a foot from Ling Hongfeng’s forehead, yet it could no longer fall even the slightest bit further!

The one who intervened was none other than Wang Chen.

Wang Chen said with a smile, "Yuan Wang Tong, if you want to kill someone and silence them, you’ll have to see if our Ling Family agrees!"

Tong Wanshan also held the title of Yuan Wang, which is why people often referred to him as Yuan Wang Tong, even though this title was largely honorary and didn’t confer any real power.

The strike Tong Wanshan thought would be a sure thing was abruptly seized, sending a shock through his heart!

If it had been Thousand Household Guo who stopped him, it might have made sense, as the latter’s strength was only stronger, not weaker.

But it definitely didn’t make sense for Ling Zhiyuan!

Tong Wanshan, with his overbearing nature, went all out at this point, his eyes flashing a fierce light, "Stand clear!"

He violently kicked his leg towards Wang Chen’s lower abdomen, his Life Qi erupting like a tightly wound Strongbow suddenly released, both fast and ferociously fierce.

Although Tong Wanshan lived luxuriously, he had never stopped training in martial arts. His weapon of choice was a sword, though he did not carry it with him today due to attending his daughter’s wedding.

However, very few knew that Tong Wanshan’s close-quarters combat was also very strong—his legwork has decades of foundation, and one kick could kill a thousand-pound bear.

If this kick hit its target, it could break through heavy armor even for others at the same tier of martial arts!

Bang!

Tong Wanshan’s right leg solidly struck its target, a muffled impact sound that made hearts flutter.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly erupted.

But to everyone’s astonishment, the scream did not come from the struck Wang Chen but from the attacking Tong Wanshan himself!

His leg, having hit Wang Chen’s, bent and snapped, white bone breaking through the skin, protruding out, with bright red blood spurting from the wound.

Yet not a drop had splashed onto Wang Chen, blocked by an invisible barrier.

Forcefully emitting destructive energy, condensing strength into armor!

Crack!

Then, Wang Chen forcibly twisted and broke Tong Wanshan’s wrist, tossing him onto the ground like discarding trash.

At this moment, Tong Wanshan, the mighty head of the Tong Clan, fainted on the spot.

"Daddy!"

A pale-faced Tong Baodai threw herself onto Tong Wanshan’s body, crying bitterly.

"Wretched woman!"

Ling Hongfeng seized the opportunity and grabbed Tong Baodai’s hair, then started slapping her left and right without mercy!

He wasn’t one percent as skilled in combat as Tong Wanshan, but he was more than capable of hitting Tong Baodai.

"Quickly save the master, and the miss!"

At this moment, the Tong family members present snapped to their senses as if roused from a dream, shouting loudly to fight to the death against Wang Chen, "Kill him!"

The hall instantly plunged into massive chaos.

"I dare you to make a move!"

Thousand Household Guo roared like a lion, "Anyone who disobeys the command will be executed without mercy!"

Some Tong family members hesitated under the deterrence of this Blood Cloak Guard leader, but many die-hard factions ignored the warning, each grinding their teeth as they lunged at Wang Chen.

Then, one by one, they flew backward, spewing fresh blood.

Bang!

Thousand Household Guo slapped a Tong family protector to death and shouted fiercely, "The Tong family commits a grave crime by resisting the Blood Cloak Guard, and anyone conspiring with them will be executed without mercy!"

His intention was to intimidate the Tong family’s allies present, to prevent them from joining the fray.

That would be a disaster.

As it turned out, experience and cunning prevailed; as soon as he issued his threat, those who were itching for action immediately suppressed their thoughts.

With Tong Wanshan lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, why should they oppose the Blood Cloak Guard, incur the label of traitors, and doom their entire family?

After eliminating the potential threats, Thousand Household Guo led his elite Blood Cloak Guards to mercilessly execute all the resisters.

Blood quickly soaked into the floor, forming tortuous streams that finally converged.

A grand wedding had turned into a slaughterhouse!

"Zhiyuan..."

Ling Hongfeng, who had just harshly beaten Tong Baodai, got up and, with a forced smile, said to Wang Chen, "The Ling family is still yours; I’m ready to surrender my position to you now..."

And his wife, who had just finished the wedding ceremony, was lying on the floor with her head up, her features completely distorted and deformed, with crimson blood seeping out from underneath her phoenix crown.

She was barely breathing!

Pfft!

A head shot up into the air.

Wang Chen held the Goose-quill Saber expressionlessly in his hand and once again chopped off Tong Wanshan’s head.

In the next instant, he suddenly turned and flung out the Long Saber in his hand, pinning down Steward Zhang, who was stealthily making his way to the door, onto the door panel!

Wang Chen’s outstretched fingers closed precisely around the falling head.

It was Ling Hongfeng’s head!

The entire assembly of guests, witnessing this scene, was shocked to numbness, the whole hall fell into silence.

Who could have expected Ling Zhiyuan to be so ruthless, even unwilling to spare his own uncle!

Wang Chen, holding the heads of Ling Hongfeng and Tong Wanshan, placed them on the table that held the Dragon and Phoenix Candles.

He knelt on one knee and bowed his head, saying, "Father, your spirit in heaven can now rest in peace."

As soon as Wang Chen’s voice fell, he felt a sense of lightness as if he had shed a tremendous burden, mysteriously the threads of fate that existed around him silently vanished, leaving no barriers between him and this world!

With the real culprit punished, Wang Chen had fulfilled his sworn oath and truly severed the karma with his former self.

[Fate +5]

At the same time, a message flashed across his vision.
