# Chapter 544: Killing the Huo Family

Yuan Lie's gaze also stiffened, a sinister cold light flickering in his eyes as he stared at Huo Shiyun for a moment, then swept his gaze toward the man beside Huo Shiyun, saying coldly, "I want to ask, who is the man Miss Shiyun likes? How dare he compete with my elder brother Yuan Tong? Is he looking for death?"

"You ask me if there is someone else, I say there is, so the one I favor should die?" Huo Shiyun's face was ugly as she shouted.

"Of course. Who could compare to Yuan Tong? Does he dare to come out and say a word? My elder brother Yuan Tong is not here, but I, Yuan Lie, will make sure he dies horribly, so that Miss Shiyun can understand whether her eyes are playing tricks on her." Yuan Lie's tone was cold and domineering. Huo Shiyun's chest burned with anger—just because Yuan Tong wanted her, the man she liked had to die?

"Who is it? Get out here." Yuan Lie's gaze swept toward the man opposite again, shouting coldly.

The Huo family members' faces stiffened, extremely ugly. This Yuan Lie was so overbearing and rude. This was their Huo family.

They finally understood that Yuan Lie's visit today was clearly to establish his authority and intimidate their Huo family.

"All cowards?" Seeing no reaction from the Huo family, Yuan Lie shouted coldly again, "Don't think that not stepping forward will help. I will kill all the young people one by one until someone steps forward."

The crowd's gazes all stiffened. Kill?

Yuan Lie said he would kill them one by one until someone stepped forward.

Too excessive, too cruel and overbearing.

The Huo family crowd was all indignant, burning with rage. Especially the young ones, who stared at Yuan Lie with icy hatred, wishing they could tear him apart to vent their anger.

"You want to kill my Huo family?"

Huo Jiuyang's voice was ice-cold, his gaze fixed on Yuan Lie.

This Yuan Lie had crossed the line.

"Yes." Yuan Lie also stared at Huo Jiuyang, unafraid, saying coldly, "Elder brother Yuan Tong's woman cannot possibly like someone else. I want to see who can compare to my elder brother Yuan Tong. If he doesn't come out himself, I will kill them one by one until Miss Shiyun tells me herself."

"Of course, Patriarch Huo can also stop me, but Patriarch Huo should think carefully. I am acting on behalf of elder brother Yuan Tong. If you stop me, you will bear the consequences."

Yuan Lie's voice carried a strong threat. If Huo Jiuyang made a move, Yuan Tong might come to retaliate. The Yuan family came here today to make the Huo family look bad.

Coincidentally, Huo Shiyun's words gave Yuan Lie a reason—a reason to establish authority and intimidate.

Huo Shiyun's face was very ugly. Her words earlier had been impulsive and angry. She never expected that because of one sentence, she had given Yuan Lie a reason to kill. Now, if she said who was in her heart, Yuan Lie would kill that person. How could she possibly say it?

"Now I will ask. Miss Shiyun, who is the person you spoke of?"

Yuan Lie stepped forward, walking to the front of the Huo family crowd, his cold gaze sweeping back and forth over the Huo family members, his eyes utterly indifferent.

Huo Shiyun remained silent. The Huo family members also fell silent, the atmosphere oppressive. From Yuan Lie's body, a faint, sinister cold aura continuously emanated.

"If you don't speak, don't blame me for being rude."

As Yuan Lie's words fell, his figure flickered and moved, incredibly fast.

"Ah..."

A scream rang out, and the crowd saw Yuan Lie's palm strike lightly land on someone. In an instant, that person was sent flying by the palm force, the nine yin cold energy entering his body, killing him instantly.

This scene made the crowd's eyes stiffen. Kill. Yuan Lie wasn't joking; he was really killing, without mercy.

Huo Shiyun opened her mouth, a look of terror in her eyes.

"Yuan Lie, you..." Huo Shiyun's face turned pale, her mouth open but unable to form any words.

"What about me?" Yuan Lie sneered. "If Miss Shiyun doesn't say who she likes, I will continue killing until all the young people of the Huo family are dead."

Huo Shiyun's face grew paler and paler. If she didn't speak, he would continue killing until the Huo family's youth were wiped out. This method was too ruthless, treating human life like grass.

The Huo family members' faces were filled with extreme coldness. Many gazes turned to the family head, Huo Jiuyang. Only if he gave the order could they stop Yuan Lie.

But if Huo Jiuyang gave the order to stop, as Yuan Lie said, it would just give the Yuan family another excuse—an excuse to kill. Then, even more people would die.

This Yuan family clearly wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Huo family's youth, cutting off their roots and their hope.

"If Miss Shiyun doesn't speak, then I'm sorry."

Yuan Lie struck again. Before he even arrived, the sinister cold aura had already reached him. With a direct palm strike aimed at a Huo family youth's chest, in an instant, another person died.

"Whoosh..."

Even the onlookers were moved. The Yuan family was indeed too overbearing. They killed as they pleased, taking the lives of the Huo family's young people.

Watching another clansman fall, Huo Shiyun's heart ached, her chest tight and suffocating, extremely painful.

"Miss Shiyun, can you tell me now?"

Yuan Lie asked again. Huo Shiyun's lips trembled. Tell? Who should she say it was?

"It's me. It's me."

A shout rang out. A young man stepped forward, staring coldly at Yuan Lie, saying, "The person Miss Shiyun spoke of is me."

Huo Shiyun's heart jolted as she looked at this person. This was the young man who had stopped in front of her when she brought Lin Feng into the Huo family, asking who Lin Feng was.

"You?"

Yuan Lie glanced at this person lightly, then sneered, "Miss Shiyun, he says it's him. I don't think your taste is that bad."

Huo Shiyun's lips trembled, but the young man continued, "Why so much nonsense? I said it's me, so it's me. If you want to make a move, then make a move."

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish. After I kill you, I'll ask Miss Shiyun who it really is."

Yuan Lie smiled cruelly. How could he stop the killing? This person stepped forward to claim responsibility, thinking he would let the others go? Dream on!

His body moved lightly, charging toward the speaker, still with that light palm strike.

The young man did not dodge. Since he had stepped forward, he was prepared to die.

The palm wind approached, and the young man even closed his eyes, a sinister cold aura blowing directly onto his face.

"Get back."

Just then, a cold shout rang out, causing Yuan Lie's gaze to freeze. His drifting palm force twisted, and a palm carrying a scorching aura directly collided with his sinister cold palm force.

His body trembled slightly, and Yuan Lie's figure retreated like the wind back to his original position. In his palm, a burning sensation spread.

His frozen gaze looked ahead. There stood a young, handsome figure, looking at him with a calm yet cold gaze.

The young man opened his eyes and found a figure standing in front of him. He was momentarily stunned. He wasn't dead. Someone had saved him.

And Huo Shiyun, seeing the young man who had appeared, also froze her gaze. A trace of joy flickered in her heart, but soon a look of worry crossed her face.

This young man who had appeared was none other than Lin Feng.

"Hmm?"

Huo Jiuyang and Huo Yun, father and daughter, also saw Lin Feng, their gazes momentarily stagnant. At a time like this, Lin Feng had actually appeared. In Huo Yun and her father's view, Lin Feng was asking for death.

Lin Feng had been watching from the side the whole time. Seeing those two people die, he could no longer hold back and made his move.

These Huo family members were too cowardly. They would rather watch their own clansmen be killed, only showing anger in their eyes.

Huo Jiuyang and his brother, as the family heads, hadn't even said a word.

"Who are you?"

Yuan Lie stared coldly at Lin Feng, a killing intent flashing in his gaze.

"He is the person you are looking for. Shiyun was bewitched by this man. Yuan Lie, if you want to kill, kill him. Why trouble my Huo family?" Huo Lao Er spoke up, causing Huo Shiyun's gaze to stiffen. She turned to look at her second uncle, saying coldly, "Second Uncle, you are shameless."

Lin Feng also turned to look at Huo Lao Er, saying indifferently, "This is the first time I've seen someone so shameless, repaying kindness with enmity and still able to speak so grandiosely. Your family members were killed, and you stood there not daring to fart. Now, I save your Huo family, and the first thing you think of is how to make me die. Can you be any more shameless?"
