He has no family left in this world!
"Impossible! My elder brother could never be dead!"
Hua Zhi roared hysterically, but his fellow disciples' attention remained focused on Zhuo Xinyan and her two companions, their hearts still deeply shocked.
After a long while, Yu Xiaoqing gasped and then had no choice but to admit it.
"Senior Brother, he's dead."
boom!
Although everyone in the Sword Pavilion was mentally prepared, Yu Xiaoqing's solid evidence still struck them like a thunderbolt.
Their revered senior brother had actually died...
"Dead...dead..."
For a moment, Hua Zhi's eyes were vacant, and he was completely distraught. He simply couldn't accept his elder brother's death.
I don't want to accept it either!
"Senior brothers and sisters, let's attack together and kill that bastard Zhang Yun to avenge my elder brother!"
Hua Zhi's eyes were bloodshot and filled with deep hatred and overwhelming killing intent.
"I want Zhang Yun to be buried with my elder brother. As for those two despicable women, I'll make them experience the ultimate pleasure in life, followed by the ultimate suffering!"
Hua Zhi became increasingly frenzied, his face contorted with rage.
However, no matter how loudly he shouted, or how much killing intent and anger his voice contained, the disciples behind him seemed not to hear him at all. They remained motionless, and some even had the idea of retreating.
Just kidding, even the senior brother is no match for Zhuo Xinyan.
Besides, neither Ye Qianzhi nor Zhang Yun made a move just now.
Who knows just how strong Zhang Yun and Ye Qianzhi are?
Even though they outnumber us, charging in now would be suicide.
Even Yu Xiaoqing, the second-best among the Sword Pavilion disciples, only ever considered avenging his senior brother.
But in the end, he calmed down.
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. We will definitely avenge our eldest brother, but not now."
Yu Xiaoqing seemed to have struggled for a long time before speaking with a face full of indignation.
"Our first priority now is to find the other two teams from Jianglan Sword Pavilion that are participating in this hunting competition. Only by working together can we have the best chance of avenging our senior brother and minimizing casualties."
"Yu Xiaoqing, if you're afraid, just say so. Why all this high-sounding reasoning? I never imagined you were such a coward!"
Yu Xiaoqing's words made Hua Zhi tremble with anger, and he pointed at Yu Xiaoqing's nose and cursed loudly.
"Hua Zhi, I only refrained from teaching you a lesson before because of my senior brother. Don't think I'm afraid of you. Besides, I am your senior brother, so please respect him!"
"Yu Xiaoqing, you...!" Hua Zhi's face turned pale, but he couldn't say anything more after only half a sentence.
All I could manage was a bitter smile.
Yes, his older brother, whom he relied on since childhood, is dead. What else would others fear about him?
He was just heartbroken.
Yu Xiaoqing, that heartless bastard, always loved to flatter his elder brother, but now that his elder brother is dead, he's completely indifferent!
He truly understands human nature!
What struck Hua Zhi even more was that his senior brothers and sisters, who seemed to have a good relationship with him, did not seem to have any intention of making a move.
In other words, they all chickened out!
"You can leave, but hand over all the monster remnants and crystals you've hunted, and we might consider sparing your lives. Otherwise..."
Zhuo Xinyan, who had been watching the show, stepped forward. The residual power from her killing Hua Yun still lingered, intimidating all the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, who dared not utter a word in response.
Yu Xiaoqing, on the other hand, remained relatively calm.
"Junior brothers and sisters, stay calm. Although we may not be able to defeat them in a fight, if we want to leave, I'm afraid no one can stop us."
Yu Xiaoqing shouted, "Now listen to my command! Everyone scatter and escape, and use the sword in my hand as a guide to regroup!"
After Hua Yun's death, Yu Xiaoqing became the most prominent figure among them.
The disciples of Jian Ge were very obedient; before Yu Xiaoqing had even finished speaking, some of them had already chosen a way to escape.
After a short time, only Hua Zhi remained.
Watching his usually arrogant senior brothers and sisters flee, Hua Zhi stood frozen in place, unsure of what to feel.
"Hua Zhi, aren't you going to run away?"
Zhang Yun leaned lazily against the trunk of an ancient tree and asked casually.
"Zhang Yun, you just wait, one day I will kill you! Kill you!"
The departure of his fellow disciples instantly shattered Hua Zhi's confidence. After uttering some harsh words with a fierce exterior but a weak heart, he turned and fled.
Are you kidding me? Aren't you going to run away?
