Bai Zihe walked over step by step.
His gaze remained fixed on Tang Fei's face, as cold and devoid of human emotion as ever.
Killing intent surged.
Behind him, a raging dragon had already been unleashed, wreaking havoc.
At this moment, Tang Fei was truly terrified.
He had initially thought Bai Zihe was at most a Grandmaster.
As a disciple of the Tang family's inner clan, he naturally didn't put a Grandmaster from the mortal world in his eyes, believing that killing Bai Zihe would be a simple matter.
But he never expected…
Bai Zihe to be so terrifying, to have taken that step, to have surpassed the Grandmaster realm!
He knew that according to the information he had obtained from Tang Qianqiu, Bai Zihe had no background whatsoever. How could he have reached this point?
But now, dwelling on such thoughts was meaningless.
He needed to save his own life first!
"Bai Zihe!"
Tang Fei leaned against the broken tree behind him to stand up, his arrogance replaced by fear and unease: "You, you can't kill me!"
As he spoke, Tang Fei retreated.
"As long as you are willing to let me go..."
"I promise, this matter between you and the Tang family will be settled!"
Of course, he didn't mean it.
Having suffered such a great loss, how could it simply be settled? It was just a delaying tactic.
Bai Zihe's footsteps didn't falter.
His expression remained unchanged.
"Settled?"
His eyes were icy cold, and the pervasive killing intent was bone-chilling: "From the moment you captured my senior sister, there was no possibility of settling this!"
As his words fell.
"Swish!"
Bai Zihe flickered forward and grabbed Tang Fei by the throat.
"No!"
Feeling the call of death, Tang Fei said quickly, "Bai Zihe, don't kill me. I am from the Tang family, one of the four ancient martial arts families in the capital!"
"This ancient martial arts family..."
"Is not the ordinary ancient martial Tang family, but the true core!"
"Within the Tang family's inner clan, I am merely a small figure, but if you kill me, you will be slapping the face of the inner clan Tang family!"
"At that time, not only will you be hunted down and killed, but even Yao Ke'er, your senior sister..."
A threat.
Another threat!
Bai Zihe slightly loosened his grip.
This gave Tang Fei a glimmer of hope.
He thought Bai Zihe was genuinely afraid of the Tang family's inner clan, and continued, "Bai Zihe..."
"Crack--"
But he hadn't expected that as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Zihe would twist and break one of his arms.
The intense pain instantly contorted Tang Fei's face, and cold sweat streamed down.
"Threatening me?"
A devilish smile spread across Bai Zihe's face, filling Tang Fei with dread.
"I hate being threatened the most!"
Saying that, Bai Zihe prepared to continue, reaching for his other arm.
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh——"
"Rustle..."
Just then.
A gust of wind suddenly came from behind.
Without hesitation, Bai Zihe dodged to the side at the last moment.
Three figures landed in front of him and Tang Fei.
"Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, Tenth Elder..."
Upon seeing them, Yao Ke'er exclaimed in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The one leading them, with white eyebrows and white hair, had a rather grim expression.
He was the Sixth Elder that Yao Ke'er spoke of.
The Sixth Elder turned to Yao Ke'er and said faintly, "We were worried something might happen to you, so we came looking."
Yao Ke'er quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Sixth Elder!"
The Sixth Elder nodded, said nothing further, and then turned to Bai Zihe: "Kid, you cannot kill this person!"
In fact, the three of them had come primarily for Tang Fei.
Just as Tang Fei had said.
Although he was insignificant within the inner clan, if he were killed, it would be a huge problem.
Ancient martial arts families placed great importance on face.
Killing Tang Fei...
Was not simply killing a person, but slapping the face of the ancient martial Tang family's inner clan!
Even the Pill Pagoda did not want to take such a risk.
"Cannot kill?"
Bai Zihe immediately laughed, a laugh full of disdain and a hint of contempt.
"My seventh senior sister is a member of your Pill Pagoda. She was captured and suffered here for no reason... Now I want to kill him, and you tell me, he cannot be killed?"
As he spoke, Bai Zihe burst into laughter.
As if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world!
The Sixth Elder narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "That is a matter between our Pill Pagoda and the Tang family. It is not your place to interfere."
"Yes."
The light in Bai Zihe's eyes grew colder: "For the sake of my seventh senior sister calling you elders, I will not argue with you."
"But him..."
Bai Zihe pointed at Tang Fei behind them, his tone as crisp as cutting ice and snow: "I am determined to kill him today!"
As his words fell.
Bai Zihe's figure vanished from his spot.
"How dare you!"
"Kid, do you really think we are made of wood?"
"Tang family kid... you go first, get out of here. We'll stop him!"
The three elders attacked simultaneously, blocking Bai Zihe and preventing him from killing Tang Fei.
