Chapter 221 Parricide!
The dagger on the table gleamed coldly, seemingly emanating a chilling aura.
This is the dagger that Xiao Chen carries with him at all times; it is definitely a divine weapon.
"This blade is forged from meteorite iron. It is so sharp that it can cut through hair with a single blow. A mere touch to the neck is enough to save someone from death!" Xiao Chen said indifferently.
The Xiao family members were stunned, staring blankly at him.
With his entire family threatening his life, shouldn't Xiao Chen at least have some reservations, even if he doesn't give in?
Without hesitation, he threw a knife...
Nobody expected him to actually do it!
"Who wants to go first?" Xiao Chen's gaze swept over the four of them one by one.
No one dared to meet his gaze, fearing they would be summoned to commit suicide.
"What's wrong? Got scared? Is this all the courage you have? Is this all the resolve you have for your true son, for the safety of the Xiao family?" Xiao Chen sneered.
The four men looked ashen-faced and extremely embarrassed.
"Xiao Chen, do you think we're bluffing you? You unfilial son! You don't even care about the life and death of your own family!" Xiao Hongyuan shouted sternly.
"What nonsense about being close relatives!" Xiao Chen's face was icy, and his tone was disgusted.
"You all don't care whether I live or die, so why should I care about your lives? If you're going to prove your innocence with your death, then hurry up and stop dawdling."
As he spoke, he picked up the dagger and handed it to Xiao Hongyuan.
Xiao Hongyuan froze, not daring to reach out and take it.
"Why is Master Xiao acting like a coward? Daring to say it but not daring to do it?" He sneered and handed it to Qu Ying.
"Take it away!" Qu Ying was startled by the coldness of the dagger and quickly dodged.
Both Xiao Yiyi and Xiao Shanshan turned pale, and no one dared to answer the call.
"Xiao Yichen, you've miscalculated. The Xiao family are all afraid of death," Xiao Chen said to Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen's face was gloomy; he also disliked the Xiao family's cowardice.
"I've seen enough. Let's begin the cleanup," Xiao Chen said calmly, sheathing his dagger.
He clapped his hands, and the ten underworld generals guarding the door burst in.
"Xiao Chen, what are you going to do to Yi Chen?" Xiao Yiyi questioned.
“Kill him right in front of you,” Xiao Chen said calmly.
The Xiao family members' expressions changed drastically, filled with panic.
Xiao Yichen's expression changed, and he immediately wanted to take action.
But Xiao Chen was much faster than him. With a flick of his wrist, several silver needles flew over and pierced his acupoints.
Xiao Yichen was immediately unable to move an inch.
At Xiao Chen's signal, a Netherworld general slowly approached Xiao Yichen, holding a butcher's knife.
Now the Xiao family was in a panic.
"Xiao Chen, you can't kill him! He is the true son of the Xiao family! If you kill him, the Xiao family is finished!" Xiao Hongyuan shouted.
Xiao Chen was too lazy to argue with the Xiao family about the false prophecy of the true dragon's son; they were too deeply poisoned by it.
"Whether the Xiao family is finished or not is none of my business," he said coldly.
"You..." The four were furious, but could not utter a word.
Xiao Chen doesn't even care about the bond of childbirth, so what human relationships are left for him?
As the underworld general approached Xiao Yichen and raised his butcher's knife, the Xiao family went mad.
Xiao Shanshan rushed in front of Xiao Yichen and blocked his way.
"Xiao Chen, if you want to kill Xiao Yichen, kill me first!" she shouted, her neck stiff.
“That’s right! If you want to kill Yi Chen, kill us first and step over our corpses!” The other three did the same, running in front of Xiao Yi Chen and using their bodies to block him.
The Underworld General dared not act rashly, stopped what he was doing, and looked back at Xiao Chen's instructions.
Xiao Chen's gaze sharpened, and his face darkened.
To protect Xiao Yichen, they were even willing to use their bodies to shield him from the butcher's knife...
Xiao Yichen is truly their precious darling!
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a chill run through his heart once again.
He was clearly the biological son, while Xiao Yichen was just a fictional son of a dragon, an adopted son with no blood relation!
What kind of poison has this family been poisoned by?!
Xiao Yichen was no longer frightened, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, he felt that his life was saved.
He was certain that Xiao Chen wouldn't dare kill his own family...
This can be seen from the time the Xiao family fell in Nancheng.
He only allowed the Xiao family to live on the streets begging for a living, but he still wanted them to live.
Even the ruler of the Underworld cannot escape the pangs of compassion when faced with his own flesh and blood...
Xiao Chen stared at the four people blocking his way, his eyes filled with hatred.
Xiao Shanshan stood at the very front, with an air of "I bet you wouldn't dare."
Xiao Chen's gaze grew increasingly cold.
Spoiled and arrogant since childhood, she offended many underworld bosses. Xiao Chen helped her settle things, but it gave her a strange sense of self-confidence, and she proclaimed herself the queen of the underworld and acted like a tyrant.
She loathed and despised Xiao Chen, verbally abusing him countless times and even instigating her servants to bully him...
After being drugged and raped by Xiao Yichen, she knew the real culprit, but arrogantly demanded that Xiao Chen take the blame. In her eyes, Xiao Chen's life was worth less than a dog's!
Now, she's even protecting him with her own body, morally blackmailing Xiao Chen for Xiao Yichen's sake, acting with impunity...
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" The underworld general was at a loss and could only seek Xiao Chen's opinion.
"Step back," Xiao Chen said, walking slowly over.
The Underworld General responded and retreated.
Xiao Shanshan revealed a triumphant, defiant smile, and the Xiao family also breathed a sigh of relief, gaining a sense of confidence.
They felt they had finally found a weakness in Xiao Chen.
He wouldn't dare to kill his own family unless he committed suicide...
Xiao Chen walked up to Xiao Shanshan.
“Xiao Shanshan, you’re really despicable,” he said.
"Hmph, so what if I'm cheap? What can you do to me?" Xiao Shanshan raised her chin defiantly.
Xiao Chen remained silent, raised his hand and waved it, a flash of cold light disappearing in an instant.
Xiao Shanshan frowned slightly, feeling a warmth on her neck, and immediately reached out to touch it.
“Blood…” Her eyes widened, and she gradually became terrified.
A thin line of blood appeared on her fair neck.
She stared at Xiao Chen in shock, her body stiff.
"Do you think... I really wouldn't dare to kill you?" Xiao Chen's calm words carried an endless chill.
Xiao Shanshan's face was full of disbelief as she stared wide-eyed and collapsed at Xiao Chen's feet.
The living room of the villa was completely silent.
The Xiao family was stunned and couldn't come to their senses for a long time.
They were all certain that Xiao Chen wouldn't dare to kill his own family and were therefore fearless, but they never expected him to act so decisively this time.
He killed his third sister, Xiao Shanshan, with a single, fatal blow to her throat!
Xiao Yichen was stunned.
Things didn't go as planned...
"Xiao Chen...you actually dared to kill Shan Shan, you...you beast!" Qu Ying broke down in shock and angrily cursed Xiao Chen.
Xiao Hongyuan quickly squatted down to check on Xiao Shanshan's condition, thinking that there might still be hope.
But what he didn't know was that no one in the world could save the person Xiao Chen personally killed.
"You're worse than an animal! You deserve to be struck by lightning!" Xiao Hongyuan roared angrily, his eyes red and his voice trembling.
Xiao Yiyi's face turned pale. Seeing her younger sister die before her eyes, she trembled with fear for the first time.
Xiao Chen's expression was calm.
He was unwilling to kill his own blood relatives unless absolutely necessary; there was a mental hurdle to overcome.
But if the Xiao family is still so stubborn even at this point, what else is there to say?
In his past life, he was harmed by them, resulting in the destruction of his family and the death of his loved ones. In the end, he committed suicide in grief and indignation. If he does not wake up in this life, he will have lived in vain!
Cut ties cleanly; such family ties are not worth regretting.
"Are you still going to stand in Xiao Yichen's way?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.
