N-M Chapter 1491: A Painful Choice
Chapter 1491: A Painful Choice
Silence!
The entire scene, eerily quiet!
Quiet enough to hear everyone’s trembling heartbeats and the despairing collapse!
One punch, just one punch again!!!
Jiang Feng slaughtered the invincible old ancestor!
No one could imagine how Jiang Feng could instantaneously kill Xiang Kunlun, who was already in that state!
But the fact is so, Jiang Feng did it effortlessly, with unparalleled dominance, without difficulty!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!!
All the Xiang Family members, this time kneeled to Jiang Feng!
Kneeling so humbly, so helplessly, so bewildered!
From now on, the Xiang Family would falter in the Capital City, exiting the stage!
The pillars of the house, all collapsed, two hundred years of foundation ruined suddenly!
But there was one who didn’t kneel, the one whom Xiang Yunshan had been cultivating as the next Family Head, who, despite recent hesitation, still held a special status in the Xiang Family, Xiang Lun!
"No! This isn’t true! This surely isn’t true! How could the ancestor..."
He, suffering a severe blow, seemed crazed and silly, incoherent, and desperate, running to Xiang Kunlun, trying to lift the ancestor from the ground, but alas, Xiang Kunlun was already dead, with eyes wide open!
"This isn’t true! Ancestor, wake up, wake up!!! The Xiang Family can’t be without you, without you what will happen to us?!"
Xiang Lun’s heart-wrenching wails brought sadness to all the Xiang Family members, yet no one could accept this demise like he did.
Since ancient times, the victor is the king, the loser is a bandit, they have been the esteemed Xiang Family, now reduced to a band of rabble...
"Jiang Feng, you killed the ancestor, destroyed my Xiang Family, I’ll fight you!!"
Xiang Lun, in madness, not knowing where he found the courage, roared furiously, suddenly unleashing all his inner strength, crazily charging toward Jiang Feng, intent on killing him with a punch!
The Xiang Family members, including his wife Gui Jinhua, wanted to stop him but it was too late!
"Bang!!"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Lun was kicked by Jiang Feng, forming a high arc, then heavily fell to the ground.
This time, he truly damaged his heart, blood gushing from his mouth, his body convulsing several times, evident he wouldn’t survive.
"No!!!"
Watching her husband, the last person capable of taking charge, dying tragically on the spot, Gui Jinhua screamed mournfully, then immediately fainted, losing consciousness.
Jiang Feng stood emotionless, looking at the dying Xiang Lun, without a trace of pity, stepped towards the Xiang Family members.
"Jiang... Jiang Feng, spare us! Please don’t kill us all, leave us a chance to live!!"
"Going to Jiangdong to confront you was planned by the Family Head and Xiang Lun’s family, we had nothing to do with it, we were completely unaware..."
"We have never actually attacked you, even the ancestor never directly favored us, please see this matter clearly!"
Any family facing extinction can’t help but be scattered like monkeys from a falling tree, the Xiang Family was no exception.
Jiang Feng looked at the Xiang Family crying miserably on the ground, for a moment truly at a loss.
Exterminating all of them was easy, but there seemed no necessity.
In some sense, the Xiang Family was already destroyed, no longer a threat to him.
Moreover, these people, frightened to death by him tonight, were bound to never dare thoughts of revenge in the future.
Just as he decided what to do, suddenly a piercing voice, desperate to the point of breaking through his throat, echoed from behind: "No!!!"
In an instant, including Jiang Feng, everyone turned, only to see Xiang Tiandong had returned unexpectedly.
Seeing the tragic scene at the old mansion’s entrance, Xiang Tiandong knelt directly, despairing and screaming!
He hurried as fast as he could, didn’t expect to still be a step late, unable to stop all this!
Moreover, the unbelievable fact was, his grandfather, father, even the old master, were all killed by Jiang Feng!
Contrasting with Jiang Feng who seemed untouched, as if he wasn’t even the perpetrator of all this!
"Xiang Tiandong! Tiandong! You finally returned, quick, plead to Jiang Feng, beg for mercy, ask him to spare us!"
"We are innocent! It’s all because your family and the Family Head conspired, involving us too, why on earth did you provoke him!"
"You are the sinner of the Xiang Family! The family’s downfall is closely related to you, the only way to redeem yourself now is to plead to Jiang Feng and willingly accept punishment, to save us..."
Hearing the terrified yet frantic pleas from the family members, Xiang Tiandong’s hopeless and collapsing expression turned ashen.
He knelt, modestly using only his knees, struggling step by step to crawl towards Jiang Feng, furiously bowed his head, knelt at Jiang Feng’s feet!
"Jiang Feng, the Xiang Family is hollow tonight, its name remaining only! Please, spare us, don’t harm my family further! I, Xiang Tiandong, accept full responsibility, willing for any penalty, kill or torture as you wish, only spare our lives! The Xiang Family’s two-hundred-year foundation can’t go to waste..."
He said, bowing his head continuously to Jiang Feng, till his forehead bled.
"Your grandfather, father, uncle, even the old ancestor are dead! Xiang Family now the only legitimate leader left, that’s you, right?" Jiang Feng mocked looking at Xiang Tiandong.
"Yes!" Xiang Tiandong replied lifelessly, standing.
"Well, if you want to preserve the Xiang Family’s heritage, you and your family members have only one path!" Jiang Feng smiled indifferently.
"What?" Xiang Tiandong raised his head, staring at Jiang Feng.
"From tonight, you will become the Family Head, hold up the facade, and you and your family must pledge loyalty to me, becoming my puppets and dependents in the Capital City! You, like Wu Feng over there, must serve me, even upon your death you mustn’t defy!" Jiang Feng stated bluntly.
Whoosh!!!
Upon hearing this, not only Xiang Tiandong was stunned, but the Xiang Family members were also in shock!
Jiang Feng, after wiping out the Xiang Family’s core forces, surprisingly wanted to incorporate the Xiang Family, letting them become part of his power?!
Though this preserved their lives, how was this different from betraying their ancestors, acknowledging a foe as kin?!
This wasn’t the way to endure humiliation and save themselves!
"Jiang Feng, a warrior can die but not be humiliated, you’ve pushed me too far!" Xiang Tiandong clenched his fists, enraged!
Jiang Feng sneered disdainfully: "Xiang Tiandong, I see you as promising material, honest and sincere, taking responsibility, so gave the Xiang Family this opportunity, don’t disregard it!"
"I’ll tell you frankly, agree now, submit to me, in the future at the Xiang Family’s standing in the Capital City, you’ll attain heights your grandfather and father never managed even in death. Otherwise, Xiang Family suffers from your blame, leading to complete destruction!"
"Decide carefully!"
