End of Minghe(final)

At county lord mansion celebration was about to end, guests started exchanging goodwill while preparing to leave but a shocking news held them back. Ancestor Luo himself arrived at county Mansion to meet Jun Xiao. That came out of nowhere and caused an uproar, one needs to understand the three families were rooted in Minghe much before Gu Zhang took his position as county lord. They hardly give face to county lord let alone a kid wet behind the ears.

Gu Zhang who was sitting at forefront chatting with Jun Xiao and his son was also informed. He frowned but also prepared himself to greet Luo Hen

"Nephew Jun looks like your charm is really great it even attracted ancestor Luo."

"Uncle is exaggerating haha." Jun Xiao was happy

Luo Hen entered the hall followed by Mo Dao. Luo Hen's burly body was covered in a golden robe, his white hair was fluttering combined with sage like beard it entranced many people. Mo Dao was in a normal warrior outfit combined with his short hair and low cultivation many took him as a slave. There was a long decorated case in his hand as well.

"Lord Gu it's a pleasure to meet you again and I suppose this little friend is Jun Xiao haha truly you're son of a dragon."

"Elder you're embarrassing me, please take a seat." Jun Xiao looked reserved but being flattered by the old guy boosted his ego to another level.

Luo Hen sat down and Mo Dao stood behind his seat while holding the case

"Ancestor" a man came to Luo Hen and bowed. He was the envoy from Luo family who brought gifts for Jun Xiao. Looking at his ancestor he was terrified,

"Hmm" Luo Hen gave a soft hum and the man stepped back feeling relieved but Luo Hen's heart ached he knew this kid will not survive but he can't do anything.

"Luo Hen, you should've atleast informed me earlier I would've prepared properly." Gu Zhang spoke seemingly dissatisfied

"Lord Gu it was our fault that little friend Jun Xiao was inconvenienced so I brought a small gift for apology."

"Elder there was no need for that." Jun Xiao gave perfunctory response

Mo Dao moved forward and opened the case. The shining golden Spear dazzled Jun Xiao's eyes, it was truly marvelous. Even he would bleed to craft something like this.

Luo Hen stood up he lifted the spear with both hands and presented it to Jun Xiao. County Lord Gu Zhang was also startled and averted his eyes from Mo Dao, he felt this servant was somewhat strange but looking at the spear all his thoughts vanished. Even he won't be able to make a dent on this weapon.

At the same time a man in the hall was trembling with terror and anger. His grandfather had same Spear and even the aura radiating was similar to supernatural power of Mo Family but next second he took a deep breath and shook his head. The man was none other than envoy from Mo family. He went to the balcony and looked towards Mo family and took a sigh of relief.

Everything is fine it must be my misconception.

On the other hand as Jun Xiao was about to hold the spear Mo Dao moved.

A transparent hand came out of his chest and blasted on county lord. Gu Zhang who was about to take a sip tried avoiding but it was too late

BOOOM

His consciousness shook and perception was distorted next

BAM CRACK

Luo Hen held the spear in his right hand, his body bloated up and in an instant he turned into a stone golem. The floor cracked from his weight

BOOOOM

The spear blasted a hole in Gu Zhang's stomach, his intestine and liver was blasted into mush. A hole 15cm wide was opened, even the spine was blown to dust. The force behind was so strong it directly blasted a hole in the Mountain behind mansion.

Gu Zhang's eyes widened but next moment they were filled with murderous intent. He was bleeding profusely and losing vitality rapidly. Vital energy covered all his wounds and the bleeding stopped. A Sword appeared in his hand and terrifying aura radiated from it.

SHIIING

Sword cry resounded in the whole Minghe and in the despair filled eyes of Luo Hen it fell down, before it fell Luo Hen felt both his consciousness and body were divided in two.

BAM BOOM

A solid kick blasted Luo Hen in the wall and the Sword fell. A thin line extending from Gu Zhang to half of Minghe divided everything in two be it human, animal or stone. Looking at that line Mo Dao's eyes were filled with fear. The strange aura would destroy all hopes of healing and recovery. For a Grandmaster being hit by that would've led to certain death.

Gu Zhang started to age rapidly his hair turned white and body shrivaled even the Vital energy that covered the bleeding also disappeared.

"Father" Gu Zhan ran towards Go Zhang

"Presumptuous" Jun Xiao shouted his body was trembling in anger.

How dare he strike before my eyes, is he unaware attacking an official is rebellion?

Mo Dao moved towards Gu Zhan but the two grandmasters of county Mansion stoppedd hhm

SLASH

BOOOM

The Swords fell down on Mo Dao but he caught Jun Xiao by collar and threw on them. They flinched their swords avoided Jun Xiao and pursued Mo Dao again but that moment was enough

BOOOM

A spear blasted the Sword energies sending both of them screeching on floor.

BOOM BOOM

Both of them were stage-6 Grandmasters but Luo Hen is stage-8 he alone fought against them.

Jun Xiao who was about to fall on ground was captured by Cao Ming. He held Jun Xiao and ran with all his might for outside. It all happened in an instant, just now he was enjoying alcohol but next moment its chaos

BOOOM

A punch coated in bloody light smashed Cao Ming's face sending him back while Jun Xiao went unconscious.

Gu Qingzi who wanted to rush towards Mo Dao stopped in his tracks cause a breath had locked on him. He recognized this breath it belonged to Wu Yun a prisoner from county prison. Next moment Gu Qingzi's face turned ugly, if Wu Yun is here what about county prison, what about his son?

BOOM

His full aura exploded and eyes turned red. He couldn't care less for anything else

"Where's my son?"

"I'll send you soon for reunion." Wu Yun sneered both father and son had taken turns to torture him in prison today he'll RIP this man with his own bloody hands.

BOOOM

Both of them collided against each other and many guests exploded in blood and gore.

Meanwhile Gu Zhan reached his father and held him.

"Father hang on." His face was covered in tears and snot. With trembling hands he brought a pill from his space ring and fed to his father but Gu Zhang held his hands and shook his head. If he was given this medicine before then he'll recover albeit it would take time but there was no time so he burnt his vitality for a single saint level strike but even that was useless. Even now he can recover if given a few months but is that possible?

Looking at Mo Dao who ran towards his son Gu Zhang's eyes were filled with resolve and he shouted while choking on blood

"Let my son live and I can give you a saintly weapon." The voice resounded in the hall and for a moment everyone stopped but soon the battle continued.

Mo Dao who was about to crush Gu Zhan's head stopped on his tracks. He squinted his eyes and spoke

"Speak again."

"I can tell you its location, once you become a saint you can retrieve it. Let my son live."

"Oh, but that depends weather your son will surrender or not."

Tap Tap Tap

Mo Dao walked towards Gu Zhan, with every step a crushing pressure descended on Gu Zhan, he slowly lowered his head. Mo Dao capture his chin and lifted his face. Their eyes met and cold sweat slipped down Gu Zhan's forehead and his eyes trembled from terror. It was same as a rabbit before a predator a single glance was enough.

Gu Zhang regretted not sending his son to sect atleast he won't have to see this humiliation.

"Do it"

Mo Dao stood up and looked at Gu Zhang

"So tell me now, where's it?"

"Take a blood oath with my son."

"Don't spout crap, he's an underling so I won't kill him myself."

Gu Zhang lifted his trembling hands and put a space ring in Mo Dao's hand.

"It is inside."

Mo Dao was silent, he should've just killed him instead he got fooled

"Are you playing with me."

"N-No hehe please forgive me but there's a map inside the ring. Please don't kill my son."

"Like I said it depends on your son, it isn't my fault if he dies of incompetence."

BOOOM

Gu Zhang's head exploded

Mo Dao looked at the battlefield, Luo Hen had killed one of his opponents while the other one surrendered. Gu Qingzi was fighting furiously against Wu Yun neither had any advantage over other.

Mo Dao walked towards Luo Yun and the grandmaster kneeling before him. He was a middle-aged man and one of his hand was blasted away. It'll take a lot of time to regenerate.

"He wants to surrender." Luo Hen spoke

Mo Dao placed his hand on man

[Target has not surrendered]

BOOM

Mo Dao crushed his head without thinking twice.

Cao Ming held Jun Xiao and sat in a corner.

Gu Qingzi saw that the battle has almost ended and wanted to run away but Wu Yun didn't let him escape.

Mo Dao also joined

BOOM

A punch from Mo Dao threw him spitting blood. Wu yun's eyes were filled with excitement he cut his hand and mixed it with Gu Qingzi's blood

HUM HUM

A red chain of blood extended from his chest to Gu Qingzi. Gu Qingzi tried to dodge but it easily got stuck in his chest.

Gu Qingzi's eyes turned red. He knew about this technique Unless one of them dies this chain will keep them stuck. The loser will turn into nourishment for the winner.

Is he using me for breakthrough?

"Leave him to me leader." Wu Yun shouted in excitement, he saw an opportunity to breakthrough

Mo Dao nodded and walked towards Cao Ming and spoke with a smile

"Surrender or Die."

"We work for General Jun and Jun Xiao is his 3rd son, do you dare kill." Cao Ming shouted

"Hehe you should ask yourself weather I dare or not."

Cao Ming trembled from anger and fear.

"Huh, What happened?"

As Jun Xiao woke up his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment but next second it got replaced by anger

"How dare you, you won't get away with it."

BOOOOM

SPLASH

Jun Xiao was covered in blood he tilted his head and looked at his left, Cao Ming his guard and caretaker was nowhere to be seen.

AAARRRRGGGGGGHH

SLAP

A slap sent him flying

"Say do you want to surrender."

"My father.. koff .. is a saint you'll die if you kill me." Jun Xiao spoke while spitting blood.

Mo Dao was nonchalant outside but inside he nodded in affirmation. It'll be hard to survive while being chased by a Saint. He has no knowledge about powress of a saint and that's why Jun Xiao needs to surrender.

"You should worry if you'll live to see tomorrow. I'll ask again surrender or die." Mo Dao's murderous intent exploded and Jun Xiao felt suffocated.

"I-I surrender."

[Target has not surrendered]

SLAP BAM

Jun Xiao again spitted blood with some teeths.

"Don't joke around, next time it'll be your head exploding."

[Branding a Master 10000 evil points]

Mo Dao was satisfied, from now on he's Cao Ming and works under General Jun.

BAM BAM BAM

Wu Yun was pummeling Gu Qingzi. With every hit Gu Qingzi kept losing his vitality and strength while Wu yun's aura kept rising.

CLICK

With the last punch a head exploded and Wu Yun reached Stage-8.

While Wu Yun relished in his breakthrough Mo Dao walked towards the balcony. He picked up a glass of wine and stared at the chaos happening in Minghe.

"Leader?"

"Gu Zhan." Mo Dao shouted

"y-yes"

"Follow Wu Yun and do as he commands and clean that ugly mug of yours."

"Okey."

Mo Dao looked at the county one last time and spoke slowly

"Go ahead, condense the blood bead as soon as possible."

Wu Yun nodded and sprang into action. Gu Zhan and Luo Hen followed behind him. Staring at Gu Zhan's back Mo Dao narrowed his eyes. He'll live if he knows his place.

A while later bloodbath happened in Minghe, only a few commoners were able to escape. All merchants and Martial Artist were killed their blood was sucked away. In Minghe only dried up bodies without a drop of blood remained to tell the tragedy.

Mo Dao sipped wine while staring at the sky. Wailing and Mayhem resounded in his ears but his eyes were calm. With every life he reaped his hatered and anger for [FILTH] increased.

A day will come, I swear that day will come when I'll make you regret being born [FILTH].

Mo Dao swore to himself. His hatred wasn't out of guilt for the victims nor due to compassion for the weak but it was for himself being played on whims of [FILTH].

At the same time somewhere in the deep universe where most terrifying creatures in the cosmos reside a heartfelt and mocking laugh resounded shattering multiple stars and worlds. Even the creature whose name brings despair to the mighty ones shivered not daring to whimper.
