Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1384: Mutual Destruction

Xu Qingfeng's gaze turned towards the main hall, prompting everyone in the courtyard to look in the same direction.

"Father...!"

Xu Wanli turned his head to look behind him, suddenly shocked.

The words of Xu Qingfeng had not shaken him, but seeing the old man who emerged from the main hall made Xu Wanli tremble inside.

The Xu Family Head, Xu Chunqiu, who had been bedridden for years, stepped out, and his physical state did not look at all like he was gravely ill.

No signs of cerebral palsy, paralysis, or inability to take care of himself were visible.

"Step aside."

Xu Chunqiu merely glanced at the eldest, Xu Wanli. Although Xu Wanli's power and authority had been growing in the Xu Family, that single glance from the old man sent a chill down his spine, and he instinctively moved to the side.

Inside, Xu Wanli felt a storm of anxiety; the old man had been pretending all along. But why? The thought sent a shiver down his spine.

"Father, you're well now, that's truly wonderful."

Seeing Xu Chunqiu, Xu Pengyuan didn't know whether his reaction was genuine or if he had suddenly found his footing.

He turned his head to glance at Xu Qingfeng, "Old Six, why don't you keep pretending to be cool then?"

But this Old Six was indeed sharp; he actually knew the old man was pretending.

Xu Chunqiu walked under the eaves and raised his eyes to Xu Qingfeng: "Old Six, I've said it before, among my many sons, you are the most gifted."

"Unfortunately, you are also the one who disappointed me the most. Thankfully, you have finally shown some promise, so my efforts weren't entirely in vain."

"The Xu Family's next generation is destined to be inherited by you young ones. I am ultimately old."

"Xiao Liuzi, I asked you before if you wanted to be the Family Head."

"You rejected me."

"Now, I'm asking you once more, do you want to be the Family Head."

Xu Chunqiu's words allowed no refusal.

Xu Qingfeng turned around, his gaze meeting Xu Chunqiu's: "Father, the car accident that happened back then, I want to know, was it done under your orders, or did my two brothers decide on their own?"

"Does it matter?"

Xu Chunqiu replied.

Xu Qingfeng looked at Xu Chunqiu and sighed: "So it was just as I thought."

"Father, is this my punishment for rejecting you?"

"You want to kill my wife and son just to make me 'see the error of my ways,' even using my eldest and third brother, just to make us turn against each other."

"Father, what do you consider us to be?"

Xu Chunqiu's face was like autumn water, without the slightest ripple.

"The Xu Family needs a leader to guide it forward. Romantic ties are merely burdens. If you are held back by emotions, how can you lead the Xu Family?"

Xu Qingfeng burst into laughter, tears welling up at the corners of his eyes.

"Father, as you wished."

"You've severed everything for me with your own hands."

Xu Qingfeng lowered his head to look at Xu Chunqiu: "In truth, there's no necessity for the Xu Family to exist. If I am to move forward, how can I be bound by familial ties?"

"I, Xu Qingfeng, am here today to destroy the Xu Family and end this last earthly bond."

"Father, are you pleased?"

With that, a dark aura of Blood Evil enveloped Xu Qingfeng, and a bone-chilling cold made everyone in the courtyard shudder.

Xu Qingfeng raised his hand, and from a distance, Xu Pengyuan was seized by an invisible force. Xu Qingfeng pulled, and Xu Pengyuan was drawn into his grasp.

"Old Six, I am your bloodline-connected brother."

Xu Qingfeng coldly laughed, tightened his fingers, and with a crack, broke Xu Pengyuan's neck.

Xu Wanli never expected that the third brother would die just like that. After all, Xu Pengyuan had been vying for the Family Head position for years, and their forces had been evenly matched.

Now thinking about it, it seemed this situation had long been calculated by the old man; otherwise, why would their struggle have been so intractable over the years?

Xu Qingfeng had succumbed to Demon Possession the day his wife and child died tragically, especially after discovering that the mastermind behind it all was his own father, leaving him utterly desperate.

He never desired the position of Family Head in the first place. As the eldest and legitimate successor, his brother should inherit it.

He didn't want to see the tragedy of kin turning against each other, but in the end, he lost his beloved and unborn child.

Yet, not dying was not a relief, for he learned a cruel truth, and thereafter, Xu Qingfeng was thrown into the Dark Hall's training camp.

To live or to die.

After going without food or water for three days and nights, Xu Qingfeng found enlightenment—he would take revenge, on his father.

He would annihilate the Xu Family, this family that caused him such heartbreak and despair.

Xu Chunqiu watched his third son's tragic death with indifference; Xu Wanli felt a bit of fear, and when he saw Xu Qingfeng approach, he subconsciously backed away.

"Alas."

Xu Chunqiu sighed: "I was initially quite comforted that you emerged from the Dark Hall training camp, gaining recognition from the Dark Hall. I considered you the greatest hope of the Xu Family; it seems I was wrong."

Xu Chunqiu spoke with deep sighs.

"You wish to annihilate the Xu Family; then I have no choice but to kill you, you little beast."

"Giggle, giggle."

Suddenly, a melodious laughter, like a silver bell, came from above the roof of the main hall. A radiant silhouette appeared, and under the moonlight, it fluttered down gracefully like a butterfly.

"What a show of father and son turning against each other, kin slaughtering one another."

"Haven't seen such an interesting scene in so many years."

"Thousand-Handed Granny."

"Call me sis, do I look that old?"

The woman laughed charmingly, exuding endless allure, her face without a trace of wrinkles, appearing as lustrous and delicate as a young girl.

Gulp.

Xu Wanli looked at this charming woman with a hint of fear, as this woman was likely seventy or eighty years old.

Xu Wanli had grown up under her watch, yet looking at her face, she seemed about the same age as his daughter.

"Thousand-Handed, did you come alone?"

"Why, isn't one of me enough?"

The woman replied coquettishly.

"As for my old man, he's busy, but he should be here soon."

Xu Chunqiu frowned but said nothing further.

"Thousand-Handed, eliminate everyone in front of me, leave no one alive." Xu Chunqiu ordered coldly.

Thousand-Handed let out a coy sound.

"Xu Family Head, do you really want to get rid of Old Six? I quite like him."

"Kill."

"No mercy."

Xu Chunqiu's eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth.

Thousand-Handed pouted.

"Truly heartless, aren't you."

"So old, yet still so filled with killing intent."

With that, Thousand-Handed flicked her hand, sending a faint fragrance wafting through the air.

"Ah, ah."

Suddenly, a scream echoed.

"Get away, get away already."

"Don't come any closer, I'll kill you."

Suddenly, Xu Wanli, standing behind Xu Chunqiu, seemed to see a ghost, and then he lunged, directly tackling Xu Chunqiu from behind.
