"Unacceptable!"
When Feng Zhan heard this reply again, his face turned extremely grim.
"Good! Very good!" Feng Zhan sneered, "It seems I have been too lenient with your Du family!"
As the words fell, an unmatched might condensed on Feng Zhan's body, and with a wave of his arm, this small world seemed to be collapsing.
It directly crushed everyone to the point of being unable to breathe.
"Elder Feng, are you truly going to push things to the extreme?"
Du Tianen, bearing immense pressure, walked step by step towards Feng Zhan, his aura also gradually rising.
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhan laughed disdainfully, "If my grandson had not stopped me, do you think your Du family would still exist today?"
Then, he looked at Feng Ziliu and said coldly, "Ziliu, the deadline I gave you has arrived! Since you are incapable of capturing that girl yourself, let Grandpa help you!"
Not far away, Feng Ziliu saw that his grandfather had lost patience. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, looking at the woman before him with a hint of pity. "I originally wanted you to marry me willingly. But it seems now, you do not intend to accept my sincerity!"
"Sincerity?"
When Du Yuemian heard Feng Ziliu utter the word, she felt as if the two characters had been insulted.
"Feng Ziliu, do you know how I feel every time you reveal that self-righteous gentle smile?" Du Yuemian said sarcastically.
"What?"
Feng Ziliu's eyes were shrouded in dark clouds.
"Hypocrisy and disgust!"
Du Yuemian said with a look of disgust.
Yes, this was the only feeling Feng Ziliu gave her.
"Disgusting! Hahaha!"
At this moment, Feng Ziliu suddenly burst into laughter. In this voice, a clear sharpness was added.
It was like a woman's shriek.
"Since that's the case, if you were to be with someone so disgusting for a long time, would you also become very disgusting?" Feng Ziliu smiled sinisterly, then looked at Feng Zhan, "Grandpa, since I cannot have her heart, then I must have her person!"
"Hahaha! Good! This is my good grandson!" Killing intent ignited in Feng Zhan's eyes. "That girl is yours, and I will kill the rest for you."
Du Tianshang's heart sank upon hearing this, and he quickly stepped forward, "Elder Feng, this is not what we agreed upon."
"Not the same?" Feng Zhan sneered, "That girl didn't agree!"
"This... I..."
Du Tianshang looked at Du Yuemian with complex eyes.
"However!"
At this moment, Feng Zhan suddenly changed his tone. "Seeing as you are so sensible, I can show some leniency!" He pointed at the Du family disciples and said loudly, "Anyone who surrenders now, not only will my Feng family not trouble them, but they can also join the Feng family and share in its glory."
"I will give you three minutes to decide. Once the time is up, do not blame this old man for being merciless."
As the words fell, the scene became deathly silent.
Feng Zhan's words were undeniably cruel.
With just a few simple sentences, the morale of the Du family army began to waver. Coupled with the disparity in strength between the two sides, the Du family members' choice did not seem as difficult as imagined.
This was an open scheme!
"Hahaha! I never thought my Du family would face this day!"
Just as the Du family disciples were still in their final hesitation, Du Tianen suddenly burst into laughter.
He looked at Feng Zhan with no trace of fear in his eyes. Stomping his foot on the ground, a terrifying true qi condensed in his hand, gradually forming a dark red long saber.
"Fight!"
With a sudden swing, the sharp saber intent and unyielding battle spirit raged in the arena.
At this moment, in the distance, an elder with wounded hands slowly walked over. His aura was also steadily increasing.
"This old man is willing to fight for the Du family until the last moment!"
The newcomer: Ge Qingkong.
Not only that, but the Du family guards hidden in the shadows also stepped out one after another.
Their killing intent was palpable!
"Good! Today, let us have a good fight!" Du Tianen roared to the sky.
"And me!"
Among the young disciples of the Du family, Du Gongchen, holding a sheathed long saber, his eyes burning with an inextinguishable fighting spirit, walked step by step towards Du Tianen.
His aura was fully displayed at this moment.
Early stage Martial King!
He was also a powerful ancient martial artist with extraordinary talent.
"Patriarch, Gongchen requests to fight!"
Looking at the young man before him, Du Tianen's eyes revealed a look of relief.
Not all Du family disciples were cowards.
"Good! Very good!"
Facing Du Tianen, Du Tianshang's heart trembled as he saw his son step forward.
He knew Du Gongchen was dissatisfied with his actions. Yet, at such a critical juncture, his son had unhesitatingly stood on his opposite side.
"Gongchen, get back here!"
Du Tianshang roared.
Du Gongchen heard this, turned to look at his father, and the disappointment in his eyes was not hidden at all. "I said, a man of the Du family would rather die standing than live kneeling. Therefore, Father, please forgive me, I cannot do it!"
Du Gongchen's words made the Du family members behind him blush and hang their heads.
"You have a good son!"
Feng Zhan, seeing this scene, teased Du Tianshang.
"Yes! He is truly my good son!"
Du Tianshang said indifferently.
But who knew how many meanings were hidden in this sentence?
"Good! Time is up, make your choice!" Feng Zhan issued the "verdict."
But at this moment, no one from the Du family moved.
Seeing this, Du Tianshang's heart tightened, and he quickly roared, "Do you really want to be buried with the entire Du family?"
After Du Tianshang's outburst, a middle-aged man from the Du family could no longer stand it. He still kept his head down and walked towards the Feng family with heavy steps.
Once someone took the lead, the psychological pressure on the other Du family members lessened, and they also began to flock towards the Feng family.
Seeing this, Du Tianen did not try to stop them, letting them make their choices.
Their hearts had already scattered; what was the use of keeping the people?
A few minutes later, when Du Tianshang saw the Du family members who had surrendered to the Feng family, his expression actually sank.
Because most of the Du family members who surrendered were middle-aged or elderly. There was only one young disciple.
In contrast, behind Du Gongchen were mostly young disciples. Besides them, the remaining few were the high-combat power members of the Du family.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with the fighting spirit of facing death fearlessly.
This meant that what Du Tianshang had saved were merely a group of people who were afraid of death, weak, and incompetent.
And the generation that truly held hope for the Du family, none of them chose to live in shame.
In the end, this was the result he had achieved.
"What am I doing all this for?" Du Tianshang looked at the fleeing Du family soldiers behind him, and he felt how ridiculous everything was.
In the end, not only did his own son stand on his opposite side, but even all his painstaking schemes had lost their meaning.
At this moment, Du Tianshang realized he had underestimated the passion of the youth.
At the same time, he also seemed to see new hope.
