Chapter 363: Dominance Of The Dragon.
Hao Ren held Hao Tian in his grip, choking the latter, and he did not care about the experts of the Bei family or the City Lord. Hell, the man even burned the phantoms of his ancestors to go through with his act of vengeance.
The city lord heard the young man threatening the safety of the city, and asked, "What could have Hao Tian done to invoke such rage from you? Why must you involve innocents in your games."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "If you really are unaware of his real nature, then I apologize but I haven't seen anyone as ignorant as you. This insect dared to lay eyes on my wife, and attacked her. I will not stop until he is dead. As for the innocents in the city, it is not me who wants to harm them, but the nosy behavior of a few.
City Lord, as long as you promise to walk away, I will not harm the city or any innocent. You can count on my prestige as the King of the Crescent Moon Empire."
The City Lord was stunned when he heard this. Hao Ren took out a seal from his space ring and a golden dragon dashed out from it. The seal was two inches big, and had a coiling dragon carved onto it. This was a relic that Han Lingshi gave him months ago. The golden dragon was a manifestation of the National Fortune and personal potential.
The golden dragon from the seal had reached a massive length of nine hundred ninety nine meters, and it appeared to be as thick as a mountain. Hao Ren said, "You have two breaths to think."
The city lord thought about it, he was sure that the manifestation of the dragon was real, and he had seen it in the past when he travelled the world. He then saw the potential Hao Ren had, the young man was not even hundred years old, and yet he could strong arm one of the most reputed families of the lower north.
This shocked him, and he said, "I agree, I will not interfere in this issue."
Hao Ren replied, "Wise choice, Family Head Bei, I have a few debts to settle with your side as well, for aiding this maggot to infest the Hao Family. You shall stay here forever."
The old man of the Bei family was shocked, and he replied, "Do you think you can stop me here, just because you said so, junior?"
Hao Ren punched Hao Tian in the stomach and broke his Dantian with one hit. Then he sealed his acupoints and threw him on the ground. The impact sent a tremor in the ground, and then Hao Ren turned around to look at Family Head Bei calmly, and said, "Yes. I will stop you because I said so."
As he said this, old man Bei laughed and replied, "You think just because you can defeat this power hungry fool, you can have your way with me? You are a bit too green child. The Blood Tower was informed of the situation and soon they will arrive, then I will see what you can do. Hahaha, now that you have crippled Hao Tian, the Hao Family is settled for. I will give you an advice, take the small win and run."
Hao Ren sighed and looked at the old man as he asked, "Old Man, you think I cannot hold off the Blood Tower?"
Old Man Bei chuckled and so did the rest of his family members, they thought Hao Ren was just joking, however, the young man was unfazed. He stood in the void, with his back straight as a spear, and he held the sword in his hand, waiting for the so called Blood Tower to attack him.
...
In the distance, the City Lord was watching the whole thing with the other major players of the city who had been suppressed by the Hao and Bei union. One of the family heads was an old man and he asked, "City Lord Jiang, do you think this young man can handle the threat of the Blood Tower?"
The city lord sighed and replied, "Old Master Ji, don't worry, it does not matter to us if he can or not, as long as the city is safe."
...
Hao Ren noticed a few shadows flickering in the surroundings, some were in the void and some were on the ground. He realized after a few seconds, that most of the people moved from shadow to shadow, while the ones in the sky left a pinkish hue on their previous position.
He recalled the information that Kage had provided him with and mumbled, "So, they have sent the Assassins and the Enchantress divisions."
His words caused the people dashing over to feel a bit surprised, they were all trained to not reveal anything to the enemy if captured. How could this guy know about them?
Hao Ren did not have much time to waste, so he turned to look at the side, he spotted five people coming at him from same direction, He clenched his fist and said, "Meteor Fist."
He punched the void, this fist did not seem to carry any momentum to it, but the man leading the group suddenly exploded into fine blood mist. Even his clothes were destroyed. This shocked the people a great deal because they were all silver mask killers, and they were feared by everyone in the northern continent.
Hao Ren began waving his fist and anyone who reached seven hundred meter radius was exploded directly into blood mist. He fought so brutally that the entire region around him was now painted with red. The people who saw this sight were shocked and some even shivered.
Old Man Bei's eyes were dilated in fear. He did not expect this guy to be holding back such power. He mumbled, "What monster is this?"
Hao Ren killed hundred assassins, and enchantresses, before he turned to look at Old Man Bei and asked, "Would you like to experience this with your family, or would you and your grand elder offer your heads to me? I will take it in exchange for your family.
I will not harm a single soul, but if you did not comply, I will tie you up, and slay every man, sell every woman and enslave every child. There would be no longer any Bei family in the northern continent. So, take ten breaths and decide wisely."
His words cast a shroud of silence over the hearts of the people. The young man took a step ahead, and his aura began to climb, with every step his aura condensed to a level where he appeared to be a death god.

Old Man Bei shivered and said, "I agree. You will have to take an oath that you will not harm my family."
Hao Ren smirked in the helmet and said, "The weak have no right to negotiate. Since you have decided to agree to the proposal, that means you have surrendered your lives. Call your Grand Elder, and I will send you on your way."
Old Man Bei's mental walls had collapsed when Hao Ren used the Lion Steps, and made him accept death. Now, under the usage of the hypnosis skill, Old Man Bei took out a talisman and said, "Come to the Hao Family, soon."
The talisman burned and vanished. Followed by this, the young man watched the family head toss his space ring to the elders gathered behind him, and said, "Be honest later, do not seek revenge or you will cause the family to suffer. This is my final command."
The elders all had emotional faces. They did not expect such a thing when they came to this place today. It seemed as if the sky came down crashing on their heads, however, they had no choice but to bow their heads and accept the reality.
A streamer of light appeared on the horizon and it appeared next to Old Man Bei. The latter looked at the newcomer and said, "Ninth Uncle, I apologize for the choice I made."
The grand elder was not weak, and he was able to hear all the things that happened here from a distance, and he patted the family head as he said, "The strong begets respect. Had we been in his position, we would have been even crueler. You did the right thing. The survival of the family is a big concern."
As he said this, he turned to look at Hao Ren and said, "You may do what you want. I hope you keep your word."
The young man nodded and said, "I will. Go in peace."
He waved his fingers and an invisible force stabbed two holes in the brains of the two people directly killing their immortal souls. He said to the elders of the Bei family, "Give them a good burial. They redeemed their glory in the final breath. The act of sacrifice is supreme and above all else."
The elders shivered and they carried the two bodies back to the Bei Family. Hao Ren looked at Hao Tian, who was laying on the ground with his eyes open in a daze. His cultivation was ruined, and all the things that he was proud of were erased as if they were insignificant.
The disparity between the two sides was so big that his understanding of the world shattered. Hao Ren picked him up by his hair, and said, "In a few days, Hao Xinlong will come back home with Hao Xinyuan, my father. I hope you all know what to do, or I will come again and this time, I will keep my words and make you cowards regret living."
He vanished and the pressure on the throats of the people vanished too, as they sighed, and held Hao Ren's dominant display in their hearts.
