Chapter 2238: Despair

At first, many soldiers had still retained a bit of rationality, but when they were stimulated by this erotic sight, their eyes immediately became a bit bloodshot. The families of the capital’s big shots were all smooth-skinned and pretty. What kind of wonderful fairyland lives were they living? It was nothing like their bitter lives in the army! Even a female pig would be treated as a goddess by them.

Why?!

If they had continued to live destitute but honest lives, it wouldn’t have caused many problems. But after the gates of desire were opened, it was hard for them to restrain themselves again. They had already accompanied King Wu in slaughter through countless clans. They'd been allowed to do whatever they wanted to noble women they previously wouldn’t even dare to touch, and those clans’ treasuries had held a lot of wealth too. It seemed the Jiang clan was doomed to be another fat sheep to plunder.

Their breaths quickened and their eyes shone. It was as if they were waiting for an incredible feast to begin.

Just then, a pencil flew over and stabbed through the back of Chang Fu’s hand. He dropped his blade, and it clattered to the ground as he screamed in pain.

Jiang Luofu was about to take his life when the enemy surrounded her again. She couldn't run over to him at all.

The Jiang clan’s people were all furious. The Jiang clan members who had been about to accept their capture also grew uneasy. Many of them looked angry, as if they were struggling to decide whether or not to resist.

Just then, King Wu directly cut down a Jiang clan disciple who was kneeling on the ground. He said coldly, “Since they dare to resist, we must kill them all according to the law. This is the result of their own choice.”

The soldiers he commanded all shouted loudly. They licked their lips, wishing for the Jiang clan’s people to resist even more. Then, they could use that chance to carry out a blood purge of the Jiang clan. They would steal the clan's wealth and sleep with the clan's women.

Jiang Boyang was furious. “How dare you scoundrels!”

He released a great roar. His aura suddenly surged, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. The shackles around him were immediately shattered. Then, he charged straight at King Wu. He knew that the only way to succeed in this situation was to take down the leader, and only then would they still have a chance of survival.

King Wu’s guards drew their weapons to stop him. However, how could they stop his wrathful attack? Soon after, they were struck flying one after another.

Jiang Boyang was about to grab King Wu’s shoulder, but the latter didn’t even move. Instead, a white-faced elder next to him rushed forward and exchanged a palm with Jiang Boyang.

Boom!

A powerful blast wave erupted and nearly made all of the surrounding soldiers lose their balance. The white-faced elder was forced three steps back. However, Jiang Boyang’s initial charge was blocked, and other experts rushed over soon after. Injuries soon covered his body.

“Dad!” Jiang Luofu immediately used her pencil weapons with everything she had to force the soldiers around her father away. She then quickly rushed to his side to bring him back to their forces.

However, she had to pay a bitter price. All of her pencils were scattered away, while she sustained some internal injuries from pushing her energies too fiercely. A hot sensation filled her throat, and a bit of blood trickled out from the corner of her lips. She didn’t bother wiping it away before asking her father out of concern, “Dad, are you alright?”

Jiang Boyang didn’t reply. His face paled, and suddenly turned red. He spat out a mouthful of blood. A moment before, he had been like a ferocious tiger, but his aura immediately became extremely weak, as if he was now just an old man with one foot in the grave.

When she saw the bits of internal organs mixed in that puddle of blood, Jiang Luofu became really nervous. Her father had forcefully broken free of the chains and charged straight at King Wu, and to accomplish all of that, he had damaged his cultivation's foundation. If he didn’t receive treatment soon, the consequences would be extremely severe.

“Sir Jiang, you served as the Commandant of Justice for so many years, and yet you are going against the imperial edict. You know the law and are breaking it! This only adds another level to your crimes!” King Wu shouted coldly. “Furthermore, you are not amenable to reason. Not only are you to be killed on the spot, nine generations are to be implicated as well!”

The Jiang clan’s morale plummeted, because this involved treason. It was only because of Jiang Luofu’s fight that their morale improved a little bit. They had even started getting excited when they saw Jiang Boyang erupt with power. But when they saw that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, all of them fell into complete despair. They couldn't produce any thoughts of resistance anymore.

Soon after, they were crudely forced to their knees and forced to stare at the ground as blades pressed against their necks. There were some who were prouder and tried to resist a bit, but all they got in return was a blade. Soon after, the only people who remained standing in the Jiang manor were Jiang Luofu and her father.

When she saw the scene, Jiang Luofu felt completely cold. It seemed the Jiang clan was truly finished today.

Jiang Boyang was full of regret. “It’s your father’s fault for trusting this despicable person earlier. I can only risk it all with my final strength to protect you and help you leave. Once you leave, head for the academy and look for Zu An. He will protect you.”

Jiang Luofu shook her head forcefully. “I won’t leave!”

How could she not tell that her father had used some secret method to ignite the last of his potential? Forget about whether or not she could even break out, at the very least, there was no way her father would live. He had already been close to completely exhausting himself not too long ago.

“Miss Jiang, just give up. Don’t let the entire Jiang clan perish because of you,” King Wu said while looking at the black stockings that were slightly torn from the fighting. He almost blew out a catcall.

Just which genius came up with this thing? It really is stunning.

When he saw those rips, he couldn't help but want to crudely tear the stockings apart.

He had already begun to imagine how, once Jiang Boyang was within his grasp, Jiang Luofu would have no choice but to yield to him to save her father. He loved the feeling of seeing proud women lower their heads.

They clearly look down on me and hate me, and yet they have no choice but to obey me and let me do whatever I wish to them.

When he thought of that out of excitement, even his breaths quickened.

An elder of the Jiang clan tried to persuade Jiang Luofu. “Luofu, you cannot cause our deaths because of your impulsive decisions! You cannot escape at this point either, so isn’t it better to surrender?”

Jiang Luofu was shocked and furious. This person was a distantly related uncle, and part of the first batch to surrender.

Jiang Boyang cursed furiously. “Old eighth, what kind of nonsense are you saying?!”

“Nonsense?” That eighth uncle also became worked up. “Clan leader, do you see what kind of situation you have placed our Jiang clan in? You are usually the most noble and virtuous. For the sake of your own false reputation, you never received gifts or permitted us to make money even though you clearly had a high position. It’s all because you didn’t want us to dirty that damned reputation of yours! Which one of us hasn’t been hard-pressed because of you over the years?”

With him taking the lead, there were many other members of the Jiang clan who also spoke up in agreement. Now that they’ve fallen so far, they were all anxious and venting their emotions.

“The Liu clan’s people at least enjoyed themselves, but we didn’t even enjoy any wealth, and yet we've already ended up in the same state as them. This is all the result of your own selfishness!”

“You seemed all noble and virtuous, you were so amazing, but after putting on that act for so many years, isn’t it because of your treason that all of us are going to die?!”

When he saw this, Jiang Boyang felt his heart turn completely cold. Was the standard he had persistently upheld all these years really wrong?

Just then, an upstanding young member of the clan who got along with Jiang Luofu couldn't help but raise his head and asked, “What does this have to do with the clan leader? Isn’t all of this just to hide your greed for life? Time will return to our Jiang clan the justice we deserve. With how things are already, why continue to make such fools of yourselves?”

Hearing that, King Wu’s expression turned cold. The general named Chang Fu understood his intention and immediately beheaded that youngster.

“Ah Le!” Seeing that, Jiang Boyang felt a surge of emotions. He was already extremely weak; a mouthful of blood rushed out of his body, and he fainted on the spot.

Jiang Luofu stared at Chang Fu and roared, “I will definitely kill you!”

Chang Fu’s body was also covered in blood. He laughed sinisterly when he heard that. “I've already heard similar words of hatred many times, but it's always just powerless anger. But I suppose that rather than me killing you, the chances of you crushing me to death between those long legs of yours are a bit higher.”

When they heard those words, the soldiers around him immediately blew taunting whistles as they stared at Jiang Luofu’s legs.

This woman really is pretty! Her legs really look firm and sexy!

“Miss Jiang, I'll start to count backward. Whenever I call out a number, if you don’t lower your weapon in surrender, I'll kill a Jiang clan disciple. Let’s see if you’ll feel any guilt at all after causing the deaths of so many of your clansmen," King Wu said as he gave Chang Fu a look.

These soldiers really don’t know anything. This woman belongs to this king, and yet you all think you’ll ever have a turn?

Jiang Luofu heard his words before she could even do anything. She immediately sank into despair. She naturally saw the maliciousness behind this plot. She was being put on the spot to divide the Jiang clan.

Sure enough, her eighth uncle screamed, “Luofu, hurry and cease your resistance! Don’t tell me you’ll only be satisfied when you kill us all?”

When they saw him take the lead, the other members of the Jiang clan were also worried about getting caught up in all of this. They all spoke up to advise her too.

Jiang Luofu bit her lip so hard that drops of blood came out. She felt an ice-cold sensation overtake her. She and her father had treated these people well, and yet once disaster struck, they were all like this.
