Chapter 541 - 301: Your Third Brother and Second Uncle Are Looking for You—I’ve Come to Send You to Them!
The roar exploded, echoing in the abandoned temple.
The expected scenario of bowing and begging for mercy did not happen; Tao Han was momentarily frozen, feeling the black shadow behind him quietly watching him.
Tao Han was furious.
Before he could turn his head.
A calm voice came through.
"Young Master Tao."
Tao Han turned around upon hearing the voice, his furious pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
"Who are you?!"
Facing the completely unfamiliar figure, Tao Han’s tone was filled with hostility. The person behind him was not any of his guards; at this moment, the person seemed extremely calm, like a passerby who had taken refuge from the rain in the abandoned temple.
The man ignored him, his gaze swept through the abandoned temple, landing on the unconscious girl at Tao Han’s feet. A trace of disturbance finally appeared in his calm eyes.
That was killing intent.
Instantly, Tao Han read the killing intent in the eyes, his tone revealing a bit of unease.
"Someone, someone!"
"Fifth Young Master Tao, long time no see."
The man took a step forward, already closing the distance to a mere inch, and a terrifying aura engulfed him. Standing up, Tao Han felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, his recently recovering limbs suddenly ached, and with a series of crackling sounds, he sat back in the wheelchair.
Facing the clamor, the man did not spare Tao Han a glance, his palm emitted Gang Force, gently lifting the unconscious girl from the ground and cradling her in his arm.
Then, right in front of Tao Han, the man began checking the condition of the girl.
On the wheelchair, Tao Han’s complexion changed drastically, his hostile expression vanished, replaced by one of terror. He suddenly caught a familiar salty and fishy smell.
It was the smell of rust and salt mixed together.
On the wheelchair, Tao Han trembled violently, swallowing hard as he looked past the man’s tall figure, and four corpses came into view, all the guards had fallen in the rainstorm, their blood flowed with the rainwater, painting a scarlet scene.
"You, who are you really?!"
This time, Tao Han’s voice began to tremble, his tone unable to conceal fear.
"What is your relationship with Tao Xinglie?"
Suddenly, the man asked, and the mentally tense Tao Han blurted out.
"Fourth brother."
"What about Tao Jidong?"
"He... he’s my second uncle."
After speaking, suddenly Tao Han seemed to realize something, suddenly reacting, "You, how are you here? You shouldn’t..."
"I shouldn’t be here; I should have died at the hands of your second patriarch?"
The shadow from the man covered Tao Han as he calmly responded.
"Last question, what is Tao Xingzheng to you?"
"Tao, Tao Xingzheng..." Tao Han was completely moved on the wheelchair, his face filled with disbelief; he was just mocking how his third brother died in a remote place, slain by an unknown person.
Now, cause and effect have come full circle, that ’unknown person’ has come to his side.
"Was it you who killed my third brother?!"
"He was your third brother?"
The man suddenly laughed.
"Ten days ago, I spared you... Why did you insist on courting death? Your third brother, second uncle are searching for you, let me send you down to meet them."
Golden light flowed, and the blazing, powerful crimson Gang Force illuminated the man’s calm face.
"No, you cannot kill me!"
"Kill me?! Do you know who I am? I am Tao Yang’s son, I am..."
"Don’t worry, it won’t be long, I will send your father down to join you too."
Crunch——!
The clamoring voice on the wheelchair abruptly stopped, the neck was slowly crushed, and Tao Han’s hideously terrified expression froze on his face, his head dropped, lifeless.
"The old patriarch was right... such life-preserving techniques would deplete one’s cultivation, even a Great Cultivator would not easily use them on family members."
Su Mu calmly took the Sumeru Ring, with the Blood Seal’s shackles gone, he had some time left.
"I must bring a gift for the Tao Family."
His gaze fell on Tao Han’s neck, which was as beautiful as Tao Xinglie’s.
