Not far from the Zhou family's estate in the imperial capital.
*Swish~*
At one moment, a figure flashed into the field. This figure was none other than Wei Yi, a personal guard of the Underworld King's Hall who had rushed from Tianhai. Following him, seventeen more figures appeared beside him. All of these seventeen individuals were War God level powerhouses without exception!
Eighteen War Gods, and behind them, no less than a thousand half-step War Gods. Among them, there were at least five hundred peak half-step War Gods, constituting the entire combat strength of the Underworld King's Hall personal guards.
This time, the Zhou family in the imperial capital openly acting against the Hall Master was undoubtedly self-destruction. Since that was the case, they didn't mind being the ones to carry out the deed.
However, the scene tonight plunged the already precarious imperial capital into further panic, as tonight was destined to see another super-first-class aristocratic family annihilated.
"Attack!"
"Those who offend the Hall Master shall be killed without mercy!"
Wei Yi looked towards the brightly lit manor of the Zhou family in the imperial capital, his expression unchanging. "Zhou family of the imperial capital, leave no one above the rank of top expert alive!"
"Yes, Lord Wei Yi!!"
*Sizzle sizzle sizzle~*
As Wei Yi's command fell, over a thousand powerhouses immediately charged towards the Zhou family manor like famished tigers pouncing on their prey.
*Pfft~*
Blood splattered, and in an instant, dozens of experts within the Zhou family manor met their end. And this was only the beginning. As time passed, the rate at which Zhou family experts perished soared.
"Not good! Enemy attack!!"
At this moment, piercing alarm bells rang out from within the Zhou family. Panic swept through the Zhou family. Who would dare to act so brazenly against their Zhou family at this time? Could it be the four great aristocratic families of the imperial capital?
"How dare you! Who dares to run amok in my Zhou family!"
A powerful aura appeared in the field. This person was none other than the Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Zeming. He was only a hair's breadth away from the peak War God realm, slightly weaker than Sun Tiance, the former patriarch of the Sun family.
*Bang~*
As Zhou Zeming's voice fell, he sensed a terrifying attack approaching. Just as he realized something was amiss, the attack struck his chest with immense force. Immediately, the sound of cracking bones was incessant, and he was sent flying like a cannonball towards the ground. In an instant, the entire ground vibrated from the impact, leaving the surrounding Zhou family experts stunned.
This person... how could he be... so strong!!
Yes!
This fellow was too strong, terrifyingly strong!!
*Pfft~*
Struggling to rise from the ground, Zhou Zeming coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood. His aura was weakened, and his face was ashen white as snow. Clearly, he had been severely injured by a single blow, his combat power reduced by more than half.
"You... peak War God!!!"
Zhou Zeming looked with disbelief at the stranger who had appeared before him. He had clearly never seen this person before. He was not from the four great aristocratic families of the imperial capital, nor was he from any other major family in the imperial capital.
"Who are you people!!"
Zhou Zeming's face was etched with extreme solemnity. He couldn't fathom his Zhou family facing such a disaster, nor could he believe that there was such a powerful peak War God expert in the imperial capital.
"We take money to resolve troubles. When you Zhou family chased Sun Qianmei of the Sun family, did you ever consider this day?"
A curve appeared on Wei Yi's lips. He was deliberately diverting the blame. Clearly, their objective this time was not just to annihilate the Zhou family of the imperial capital but also to shift the blame to the Song family. This would undoubtedly lead to even fiercer conflict with the Song family.
"Chased Sun Qianmei? You... you were sent by that brat Song Mingyu!!!"
"Damn it!!!"
As expected, after Wei Yi's pointed remark, Zhou Zeming completely fell for the deception. After all, he had no choice but to believe it. If one were to consider who most wanted him dead, Song Mingyu would undoubtedly rank first.
Originally, he had instructed his daughter, Zhou Zijuan, to find a way to poison Song Mingyu. After all, even though Song Mingyu had lost power, he was still a War God, not someone easily dealt with. Unless they could kill Song Mingyu like they had ambushed Sun Qianmei, but doing so would completely enrage Song Yunlong, which would be detrimental to their Zhou family.
However, Zhou Zeming had not expected Song Mingyu's revenge to come so quickly. More importantly, he had never imagined that the brat could contact a peak War God expert.
"Since you know, then die."
Seeing that he had successfully diverted the blame, Wei Yi struck again with a palm, not wanting any loopholes to appear.
"No!"
"Patriarch, quickly dodge!!"
Numerous experts from the Zhou family rushed forward to rescue him. However, unfortunately, how could they be faster than Wei Yi, who was at the peak War God realm?
*Bang!!*
With a strike as swift as lightning, the palm accurately struck Zhou Zeming's chest again. At this moment, Zhou Zeming's pupils widened, his heart instantly shattered, and he spewed out a large mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward, drawing a bloody arc through the air.
Zhou Zeming had become a corpse!
*Thud~!!*
At one moment, a dull sound echoed, like the beating of war drums in everyone's ears. The cold corpse hit the ground. At this moment, Zhou Zeming could not have been deader.
"What!"
"Patriarch, you bastard!!"
"You beasts, I'll fight you to the death! Kill!"
The enraged experts of the Zhou family, witnessing their patriarch's death, launched fierce attacks, fighting like desperate madmen against the personal guards of the Underworld King's Hall, Wei Yi, and the others.
However, in the face of absolute strength, their desperate charge only served to prolong their annihilation by a slight margin.
Ten minutes later!
Under the overwhelming onslaught of Wei Yi and his personal guards, everyone in the Zhou family, including the top experts, was ruthlessly killed. As for the first and second-rate experts, they didn't dare to utter a single word. What a joke!
If so many top experts were no match, what good would it do for them to go up? Of course, those who remained were people who didn't have much loyalty to the Zhou family.
"Lord Wei Yi!"
"All top experts and above in the Zhou family have perished, a total of 1243 people!"
At this moment, a War God bowed and reported to Wei Yi. Upon hearing this record, he showed no particular reaction. He glanced at the remaining members of the Zhou family and said, "Very well, withdraw!"
With Wei Yi's command, the over a thousand members of the Underworld King's Hall personal guards immediately flashed away at an extremely rapid speed, as if nothing had happened.
However, the thousand corpses scattered across the Zhou family manor and the thick, nauseating smell of blood were constant reminders of the brutal extermination that had just occurred.
Although Wei Yi and his men had not annihilated everyone in the Zhou family this time, in a sense, it was no different from the Sun family in the imperial capital. After all, the remaining members could no longer cause any significant trouble.
"Song family, Song Mingyu, how cruel!!"
The surviving women and the elderly of the Zhou family, at this moment, cast venomous glares towards the direction of the Song family. If gazes could kill, the Song family would have long been pierced into nothingness by the resentful old and young of the Zhou family.
At this moment, the overwhelming stench of blood from the Zhou family manor seemed to tear through the clouds of the night sky. Within this blood-soaked air, it was mixed with an immense hatred, akin to the extermination of an entire clan!!
Thus, the Zhou family of the imperial capital completely lost its qualification to contend in the imperial capital and withdrew from the stage of aristocratic clan struggles.......
