Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Seeing Duanmu Chunqiu finally fall to the ground, barely clinging to life, Jiang Feng shook his head and sighed.

Can this be called a tiger falling on flat terrain? At most, it's just lifting a stone to smash his own foot.

But remembering back to his time in the Capital City, Jiang had already heard of Duanmu Chunqiu's name. Even then, he was elusive, working with his elder brother Duanmu Mian, one in the shadows and one in the light, painstakingly supporting the Duanmu Family.

This could be considered the twilight of a hero, ending in such a desolate fate.

Jiang Feng shook his head again and stepped towards Duanmu Chunqiu.

As Duanmu Chunqiu felt Jiang Feng closing in on him, he struggled to get up, but he really had no strength left.

He truly was at death's door, like an oil lamp with no oil left.

"Duanmu Chunqiu, do you have anything to say now?" Jiang Feng approached Duanmu Chunqiu, squatted down, and asked with a mocking smile.

"Jiang... Jiang Feng, to fall at your hands like this, to be buried in Jiangdong, I am unwilling..."

Duanmu Chunqiu gritted his teeth, yet spoke with endless sorrow, "The Duanmu family is a high-ranking Gate Valve, once I'm gone, they won't last either. My brother alone can't hold it..."

Jiang Feng nodded with a smile, "Seems you aren't a fool. But if you'd known this earlier, why act that way? Duanmu Mian was blind to cultivate an unworthy grandson, and you actually helped him support Duanmu Zhe and opposed me, so this path was of your own choosing, more so when you conspired with the Ying Family..."

"Heh, since you mention the Ying Family, don't be so smug..."

Duanmu Chunqiu suddenly laughed as if regaining a final burst of energy, "I admit you surprised me and showed me a power difficult to reach... But the current Ying Zheng is also beyond your imagination. He apprenticed under strange people and joined an incredibly powerful Hidden Sect, becoming one of its outstanding disciples and elites. He's also not what he used to be... Even if you're strong, you're probably on par with him, but he's backed by the entire Ying Family, and you, you're nothing but an outcast..."

"Duanmu Chunqiu, I truly feel sorry for you."

Jiang Feng smiled lightly, "I was just thinking, if only you could live a bit longer, you might witness my eradication of Ying Zheng firsthand, perhaps along with uprooting the towering Ying Family. But unfortunately, you won't have that chance, all you can do now is utter empty words..."

"What... what are you saying?!"

Listening to Jiang Feng's intent to not only crush him but annihilate the Ying Family and kill Ying Zheng, Duanmu Chunqiu couldn't help but shiver all over, breaking into cold sweat!

"I never speak thoughtlessly. Rest assured and go on, hold onto your allegiance to the Ying Family, and wait for them in Hell, save a seat..."

Saying so, Jiang Feng patted Duanmu Chunqiu on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.

"No... you... you..."

Duanmu Chunqiu, filled with horror, desperately wanted to get back up, but was powerless.

As the last ounce of strength left his body, his eyes wide open, he lay on the ground, dying with eyes unclosed!

Only, before his death, it seemed he was engulfed by some terror, maintaining a look of extreme fright!

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

At this moment, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who had joined hands to kill Duanmu Chunqiu, also knelt down before Jiang Feng, kowtowing vigorously, "Young Master Jiang! Are you satisfied with our performance? We have already pledged our allegiance, from now on severed all ties with the Duanmu Family, no turning back, we beg you to take us in..."

After their words, they knocked their heads on the ground until they bled.

Jiang Feng sighed.

He truly had no fondness for those who betrayed their master for personal gain, wishing to kill them almost immediately.

But as it stood, he needed more competent people to help stabilize his position, so he had to generously forgive.

"Alright, since you've shown some wisdom, stay here and follow my orders, continue training when idle, and prioritize improving your strength!"

"Yes!!!"

The two, as if granted amnesty, kowtowed even more fiercely to Jiang Feng, cracking the ground beneath.

Jiang Feng, expressionless, stood again and walked towards Duanmu Zhe.

At this time, Duanmu Zhe was also barely clinging on, critically injured and paralyzed, his eyes filled with despair!

He had witnessed the entire exchange between the Second Young Master and Jiang Feng!

Even Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's betrayal, killing the Second Young Master, he had seen, his heart utterly shattered, faced with abject fear, drained of all hope.

He regretted coming!

Had he known, he would have stayed in the Capital City, continuing his life of luxury, occasionally mingling with actresses and internet celebrities. Instead, he chose to wade into the troubled waters of Jiangdong...

"Duanmu Zhe, what can you say now?"

Jiang Feng came to Duanmu Zhe, squatted down, and looked at him with a smile, asking.

"Cough..."

Seeing Jiang Feng looking down on him, Duanmu Zhe, agitated, wet himself, blood gushing from his mouth.

He tried to struggle and convulse but couldn't, completely losing control of his body, like a lump of dead meat.

"Jiang... Jiang Feng..."

He exerted all his strength, speaking through blood, eyes full of pleading, "Let... let me go... I really don't want to die... For the sake of the times we played together as children... even jumped hopscotch..."

"You're right."

For once, Jiang Feng smiled earnestly, "Sometimes I wish we never grew up, perhaps there wouldn't be so much scheming and enmity afterward."

"What a pity..."

"No... no!!"

Duanmu Zhe, spitting more blood, desperately said, "I've never wanted to oppose you, it was my elder brother... No! It was Ying Zheng forcing me! Spare me this once... I promise to cut ties with him from now on... never meddle in your affairs again..."

Jiang Feng shook his head in disappointment, "Duanmu Zhe, do you know why I've always looked down on you since childhood?"

"Wh... why?" Duanmu Zhe asked, confused.

Jiang Feng sighed, "Simply because you're unwilling to take responsibility for your actions!"

"Of all the people under Ying Zheng, I know them, none are like you, who would so readily betray their elder brother; at least, others show some backbone..."

"To think I actually considered sparing you to send a message to Ying Zheng, telling him to prepare his neck for the blade... Now it seems, I've overthought! Letting someone like you go back, it's an insult to me and to Ying Zheng. Even if he's my enemy, he doesn't need someone like you crawling under his feet!"

"No... no! I..."

Duanmu Zhe's eyes widened in terror. Hearing that Jiang Feng had originally planned to let him go but changed his mind because of a single sentence, he was filled with regret, without tears to shed!

"You truly disgrace the reputation of a prominent family from the Capital City, bringing shame to the offspring of the great houses... Now, let me, on behalf of your grandfather, send you on your way!"

With that, Jiang Feng stood up and stomped on Duanmu Zhe's face.

Then, under Duanmu Zhe's immense terror and despair, he stomped down, crushing Duanmu Zhe's head!

From now on, the Duanmu Family of the Capital City no longer had any claws or wings of the Ying Family!
