And as for Zi Xunyi—clearly, in her current state, she had no mood to concern herself with the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief.
Moreover, she herself was gravely injured. Even if she truly tried to stop the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief, she might not have succeeded.
So under these circumstances, Chu Feng would rather let the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief escape than allow anyone else to get hurt.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha…"
However, at that moment, the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief—who had been torn to shreds, his flesh mangled and even his bones shattered—suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Go ahead, torture me. No matter how much you torment me, you can't do anything to me. I won't be living much longer anyway."
The Kong Heavenly Clan Chief spoke with biting sarcasm. Since he was going to die regardless, he had adopted a "nothing left to lose" attitude.
Hearing these words, Ying Mingchao actually froze in place, ceasing his savage attacks on the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief.
No one knew what was going through Ying Mingchao's mind at that moment.
"Hahahaha, Ying Mingchao—even in the end, you can't do anything to me. My fate is still in my own hands!"
Seeing Ying Mingchao like this, the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief laughed even more frantically. Though he was about to die, in his eyes, he had not lost this battle. He was more like a victor.
"Then before you die, I'll exterminate your entire clan." At that moment, Ying Mingchao spoke coldly.
"You—" Hearing these words, the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief let out a cry of utter terror.
He was afraid—deathly afraid. He was already a dead man who couldn't care less about his own life or death.
But the Kong Heavenly Clan was still his deepest attachment. He was even willing to sacrifice himself, all for the sake of preserving his Kong Heavenly Clan.
"Ying Mingchao, don't—please, don't!"
"It was my fault. Everything was my fault. What I did back then was my fault. What I did today is still my fault."
"It has nothing to do with my clansmen. They're all innocent. Please don't lay a hand on them." In his panic, the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief actually began to beg for mercy.
But Ying Mingchao completely ignored the Kong Heavenly Clan Chief. He slowly rose to his feet and said:
"Just keep your eyes open and watch carefully."
After speaking those words, a ghostly green light emanated from Ying Mingchao's body.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The ghostly green light, centered around Ying Mingchao, swept outward like a hurricane, destroying everything in its path.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Kong Heavenly Clan had been leveled to the ground.
"No!"
"No!!"
"No!!!"
The Kong Heavenly Clan Chief let out a furious roar.
And that roar was filled not only with fury, but also with unbearable grief.
Because the Kong Heavenly Clan—which had once been filled with countless buildings, grand and majestic, like a paradise on earth—now resembled a hell on earth.
Beneath billowing smoke lay all the destroyed buildings. Not even the multiple barriers had been able to withstand the previous strike.
And beneath those buildings, there were countless dead bodies. Men, women, the old, the young—all who should have died had died.
Everyone who hadn't already fled the Kong Heavenly Clan was dead. That single strike had dealt a devastating blow to the entire clan.
"The…"
The previous shockwave had been far too powerful, and even Chu Feng had been momentarily dazed by the impact.
When he opened his eyes again, he beheld the wretched state of the Kong Heavenly Clan.
In that moment, Chu Feng suddenly recalled the scene when his own Chu Family had been massacred.
But the Chu Family had only been a small clan. And what was the Kong Heavenly Clan in comparison? A colossal giant.
So many lives—all of them extinguished in a single instant. The sheer brutality of it was absolutely impossible to accept.
"They brought it on themselves," Zi Xunyi said to Chu Feng.
It turned out that in the previous moment, Zi Xunyi had shielded Chu Feng with her own body. Otherwise, he might not have survived the shockwave either.
