NOVPUBChapter 643: Chapter 643: Revenge and Hatred_1 Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Revenge and Hatred_1 “Xu Tianhu, it was you who struck him down—he was your eldest brother!
As cruel as you are, devoid of humanity, you are a devil!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingning’s body began to tremble violently, her face pale with anger.
Xu Yue also looked at Xu Tianhu with intense hatred.
Initially, she had naively thought her second uncle was merely strict by nature and prejudiced against her.
When he used her as a tool for marriage alliances, she felt he was cold-blooded and heartless for the sake of benefits.
Only now did she realize that the so-called second uncle was, in fact, a cold-blooded devil, the murderer of his own brother, who could perpetrate such fratricide for the so-called position of Family Head.
Xu Tianhu had wanted to interrupt Tan Bufan’s words, but he was horrified to discover that his mouth simply wouldn’t open, as if it had been glued shut, and he could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded.
...
Knowing the kind of person Xu Tianhu was, the people behind him began to step back to distance themselves.
Such a man had committed terrible deeds behind the scenes, colluding with the Black Blade Organization and even murdering his own brother to become the Family Head.
Such crimes were enough to ruin his reputation utterly and attract the scorn of the world, leaving no chance for redemption.
The fall of Xu Tianhu was inevitable, and it was only natural to distance oneself from him.
Xu Fan, the castaway of the Xu Family who sought to avenge his father, returned with his followers in the manner of a King.
With such evident circumstances, everyone with insight could see the situation clearly.
Xu Fan felt anger within, and murderous intent began to surge, but before taking action, he had Tongtong bury her head in his chest to shield her from the sight.
With a flick of his right hand, Xu Fan made a grabbing motion towards Tan Bufan, and a flash of golden light zipped by.
But the sound of a sharp “crack” was heard, as if something had been snapped apart.
“Close your eyes, don’t look over there,” Xu Fan whispered gently.
Xu Yixue knew what was about to happen, nodded obediently, and then, pulling Xu Yue and Zhang Qingning, they all turned away.
As for the men, they were not expected to have such concerns.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Tan Bufan underwent a violent transformation.
His face contorted fiercely, his mouth gaped open as large as a bowl without any sound coming out, various veins bulged over his body’s surface, and his body swelled as though inflated like a balloon, enlarging several sizes.
His shoulder blades even pierced through the skin, starkly exposing the bones.
Tan Bufan’s body seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, the immense power creating internal pressure, causing his flesh and internal organs to burst, with the sounds of breaking bones continuously heard.
Suddenly, Tan Bufan turned into a clump of flesh right before the shocked eyes of the crowd.
There was no scream from him.
There was no separation of blood and flesh.
Just like that, a living person, from the neck down, was compressed into a ball of bloody flesh the size of a basketball, with a head attached that was filled with agony and utter fear.
However, under Xu Fan’s deliberate control, the man was not yet dead, and his consciousness remained clear, still retaining a deep sensitivity to pain.
Such torment was unbearable, something that could torture the soul to its limit.
If he had known that Xu Fan would be so ruthless, he would have rather self-destructed.
This scene caused everyone to feel an extreme chill surge from the soles of their feet to the crowns of their heads.
Some people started vomiting on the spot, as if trying to bring up all the bile in their stomachs.
Soon after, many others began to vomit as well, their complexions turning ghastly and unwell.
The more timid ones even started trembling, their calf muscles shaking, and they wet themselves in fright.
Fortunately, the people Xu Fan had brought with him were mostly unaffected, moved by the gruesome scene while marveling at the ruthlessness of Xu Fan’s actions.
Without a doubt, this was the most tragic and painful death they had ever witnessed, and what was even more dreadful was that the person was still not dead.
Xu Fan wouldn’t normally resort to such cruel methods, but this man surnamed Tan was the prime culprit behind his father’s death, the main murderer, so even if he killed him hundreds, thousands of times, it could not quell his hatred and rage.
After allowing Tan Bufan to endure a minute of inhuman torture, Xu Fan finally controlled the fire to burn this ball of flesh out of existence; under the terrifying high temperature and the burning flames, it was completely incinerated to ashes, then to nothingness, and utterly vanished from the world.
Moreover, even the soul was obliterated, scattered to the winds without a chance for reincarnation.
Destroying one’s soul is a heinous act, it offends the heavens, and hardly anyone would do such a thing.
Although Xu Fan wouldn’t face any immediate consequences, this cause and effect would manifest when he faced his Tribulation Transcendence, becoming a demon that would affect his divine consciousness.
But Xu Fan did not regret it in the least, because only in this way could his fury be slightly appeased.
Afterward, Xu Fan’s gaze turned to Xu Tianhu.
With a “thump,” the latter fell seated onto the ground.
“Xu Tianhu, what do you have to say?” Xu Fan passed Tongtong to Xu Yixue’s arms, then sternly uttered each word.
Xu Tianhu’s eyes were bloodshot, his gaze fixed on Xu Fan.
Suddenly, he burst into loud laughter, laughing so hard that his face contorted, his throat became hoarse, his tears and snot flowed freely, and his body trembled.
“What’s there to say at this point?
That’s right, it was I who did it, I killed him,” Xu Tianhu used the back of his hand to wipe the inexplicable liquid from his face, shouting loudly.
“Why?
He was your brother!”
Zhang Qingning was in tears, she rushed at Xu Tianhu, grabbed his collar, and loudly questioned him.
“So what if he was my brother?
There’s only one Family Head position.
Just because he’s the eldest son, does that mean he naturally gets to sit in that seat?”
Xu Tianhu’s face twisted with extreme distortion as he yelled at the top of his lungs, “I made many contributions to the family, but no matter how well I did, no matter how hard I tried, I was always the second.
I was not content, in what way was I not equal to him?”
“Slap!”
Zhang Qingning couldn’t help but slap him: “You were blinded by greed; you are nothing but an animal.
For the position of Family Head, you killed your own brother.”
After speaking, she continuously slapped Xu Tianhu’s face, the emotionally shattered Zhang Qingning could only vent her inner fury in this way.
Xu Yue and Zhang Qingning hurried over with little steps, gently persuading and gradually pulling her away as they tried to comfort her.
Xu Fan coldly watched Xu Tianhu.
If it were not for his selfish desires, how could such a happy family end up so broken and scattered?
Only by killing this demon could he diminish the hatred, quell the rage.
“You want to kill me?
Hmph, go ahead, I’m not afraid.”
Xu Tianhu knew his death was inevitable and harbored no illusions; thus, he provoked Xu Fan with a defiant tone, seeking a swift death at his hands.
“Naturally, I have to kill you.”
Xu Fan said coldly, and immediately, a pale flame danced in his uplifted palm.
This wasn’t ordinary fire but Soul Fire, which could not cause any physical harm to the flesh; however, it could burn a person’s soul, a torture so painful.
In rituals, it could make one endure long-term torment of eighty-one days before the soul would finally disintegrate.
Though Elder Tan’s manner of death was horribly terrifying, something one would not dare to witness,
Xu Tianhu’s manner of death was to be one of utmost pain, and of a prolonged duration, making one vividly feel what it meant to prefer death over life.
One was the main conspirator, the other the direct murderer, who even denied his family ties, his conscience obliterated; naturally, he deserved a more severe punishment.
However, just as Xu Fan was about to take action, suddenly a voice from afar called out to him.
“Wait a moment.”
