Chapter 148 Lord of the Underworld
Screams echoed through the Tan family home, each one signifying the death of someone.
The head of the Tan family was furious, but he couldn't even protect himself.
The leader of the men in black also gave an order to kill those surrounding Xiao Chen.
Those men acted swiftly.
"Bang bang bang..."
A flurry of flashing blades and splattering blood ensued.
Corpses lay strewn on the ground, their deaths gruesome.
"Ok?"
The leader of the men in black twitched his eyelids as he noted it down, his face instantly turning grim.
Because those lying on the ground were all his Illuminati members.
He had just issued a kill order, thinking it wouldn't be a big problem.
Xiao Chen had five guards with him, but he assumed they were sent by the Xiao family and didn't pay them much attention.
There isn't a single expert from the Xiao family here.
But once the fight started, the five men suddenly unleashed their formidable strength, instantly killing his men!
The leader of the men in black stared intently at the five Netherworld Guards, the images of them killing people flashing through his mind.
A judgment was made in a short time.
“Each one of them has reached the level of an A-rank Lightbringer!” This judgment shocked him.
“The Xiao family’s strength is severely lacking. Even the Xiao family doesn’t have the ability to send five near-first-rate experts…” the leader of the men in black said solemnly.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
A-rank Lightbringers are known as the strongest below the King rank, and are relatively rare elites within the Illuminati.
In the last operation, the Illuminati only sent three troops, and they were all wiped out.
The Illuminati unanimously concluded that Xiao Yuanshan was behind it.
Now it seems the answer is already before us.
"Where did these five people come from? Has the Xiao family grown to this size?" he asked, staring at Xiao Chen.
It gave me a creepy feeling.
The Illuminati has been monitoring the Xiao family for years, but if the Xiao family has really developed like this under their noses... it's terrifying to think about!
"Only five, that's not enough to scare an S-rank Lightbringer," Xiao Chen said.
An S-rank Lightbringer possesses the strength of a King.
The leader of the men in black choked, his pupils dilating slightly.
Wow, that's really bold...
Five of the strongest warriors below the King level have appeared casually; such martial artists would be considered heavyweights in the secular world.
Many heads of minor aristocratic families do not possess such strength.
This kid is such a show-off.
"Leave no one alive from the Illuminati." Xiao Chen's expression turned serious as he gave the order.
"Yes," the Underworld Guard replied respectfully.
The leader of the men in black's pupils trembled once more.
Because the responses...were not just five...
"Whoosh whoosh..."
More than a dozen figures darted out from the darkness, dressed exactly like the five people, and their auras were no weaker.
The leader of the men in black felt a buzzing in his head.
More than twenty...
That's equivalent to more than twenty A-rank Lightbringers...
When did martial artists of this caliber become as common as cabbages?
What an international joke!
The leader of the men in black was deeply shaken; his heart was pounding in his chest.
Even as an international S-level organization, the Illuminati finds it difficult to send more than twenty A-level Illumination Envoys on a single mission.
If it were true, it would be a momentous event that would cause a major transformation within the Illuminati.
This kid just casually said something, and they just popped up like that?
The leader of the men in black was having trouble breathing.
Seeing all of Xiao Chen's Netherworld Guards mobilized, he felt both worried and relieved.
The worry is that none of the people he brought will survive; they will all be dealt with very quickly.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen was all alone.
"You're really overconfident. You're all alone, aren't you?" the leader of the men in black said grimly.
"One is enough!" he said through gritted teeth, his face fierce, and charged towards Xiao Chen.
This kid's background is terrifying; the Xiao family definitely doesn't have this kind of background.
His mind was in a mess right now, and he didn't want to think about it anymore; he just wanted to kill Xiao Chen as soon as possible.
Kill one of them, and you'll make a killing!
The blade was close, success was imminent, and my heart raced.
"boom!"
Suddenly, it was as if a colossal creature had descended from the sky, and a tremendous impact erupted in front of Xiao Chen.
"Bang bang bang..."
With a series of muffled thuds, the leader of the men in black was thrown back by the force of the impact, unable to move forward any further.
After finally regaining his balance, he immediately looked towards Xiao Chen, and then his gaze froze.
Another person appeared in front of Xiao Chen...
The burly, imposing man wore the same clothes as his men, the only difference being the addition of a pattern.
"How could this be..."
This time, the leader of the men in black felt a chill run down his spine and almost lost his voice.
That terrifying power just now...
Is there any doubt left?
King-level!
A King-level expert!
He also has a king-level guard by his side!
The leader of the men in black was now more than just shocked; he was terrified.
How many people in this world can have a king-level bodyguard by their side?
"What...who exactly are you?!" the leader of the men in black roared hoarsely.
He needs to know.
This level of influence is enough to make the S-class organization, the Illuminati, deeply wary.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty for leaving you covered in dust..." The burly man ignored him and instead turned to kneel down on one knee in front of Xiao Chen, saying with shame.
This scene had a tremendous impact on the other party.
A King-level powerhouse, yet so humble!
He was a high-ranking member of the Illuminati...
That person addressed the Xiao family's seed as "King"...
"You really need to work on your power control," Xiao Chen said sternly.
"Your subordinate will practice diligently, please forgive me, Your Majesty..." the burly man said, bowing his head.
"How many people in this world can be called king?" the leader of the men in black murmured absentmindedly.
"Who exactly are you?" He was already somewhat frantic.
Because he couldn't figure out Xiao Chen's identity.
Too young, doesn't get along with anyone.
"You dare point fingers at the Lord of the Underworld? You're courting death!" the burly man roared and charged forward.
Every move it made was like a heavy tank, with a powerful and imposing presence.
The leader of the men in black broke out in a cold sweat. At that moment, he mustered all his inner strength and dodged with all his might.
With a loud bang, the spot where he had been standing was reduced to ruins.
He narrowly escaped death...
If you get hit, you'll be half dead, if not killed.
Suddenly, his body trembled and his eyes widened.
"The Lord of the Underworld...?"
"You...you are Hades!"
The sound, filled with a shrill, hysterical intensity, echoed throughout the Tan Family Garden.
The leader of the men in black was frozen in place.
"What? Hades... Hades!!"
Upon hearing that title, the Tan and Zheng family heads were struck dumb, their souls nearly flying out of their bodies.
A bolt from the blue, a thunderbolt from the blue!
Hades, the king of the underworld!
The Underworld Palace is a world-class organization, surpassing even S-rank...
It is an existence that can be heard but is extremely distant, like the bright moon in the night sky, which people can admire but cannot touch.
Xiao Chen, the seed of the Xiao family, is the King of the Underworld!
This is truly shocking news.
The two patriarchs seemed to be nothing but empty shells; all hatred vanished at this moment, replaced by endless terror.
Taking revenge on Hades... What a ridiculous joke!
How could Xiao Chen... how could he be the King of the Underworld?
