"To me, as long as it touches the Su family's interests, there is no one I cannot ally with, nor any existence I cannot annihilate!"
"Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I, this old man, would prioritize the family!"
"..."
"Which of today's influential families isn't cunning?"
"They probably have some ties to the outside world, more or less..."
"And my Su family has gone further than all of them!"
"Let alone Nightfall and the Fallen Ones, even if it's fierce beasts and alien races, we will contact them if necessary!"
"..."
"Hahahaha!"
"How could I, this old man, not know about such a major matter?"
"If their plan had succeeded, people like me with dwindling lifespans would have been the first to benefit."
"Not to mention that when collecting corpses, blood, essence, and souls as materials, they often relied on me!"
"Do you know why I'm talking so much with you?"
"Heh heh heh, it's because your fresh body, brimming with life force, is the best nourishment for us!"
"..."
Looking at his spirited self on the screen, Su Lie was truly dumbfounded.
He could never have imagined that when he thought it was a sure-kill situation, and he was smugly in control in front of Lin Ran, it was actually being broadcast live!
Everyone in the fortress, without a single exception, had watched it!
Even more absurdly, from the discussions of the crowd below, he learned that this broadcast was directly transmitted across the entire national platform network...
Being publicly executed in such a brutal manner, Su Lie didn't even have two eyes...
Even if he had ten eyes, they would all be black by now.
"A misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"
Sweating profusely, Su Lie's brain had gone offline, and he couldn't come up with any words of explanation, only muttering these two sentences repeatedly.
Matt sneered:
"Misunderstanding?"
"Save those meaningless words for the road to the underworld, to tell the vengeful spirits you killed!"
Saying this, a brilliant long sword, like a river of stars, materialized in Matt's hand.
This sword contained explosive energy, leaving no doubt that Matt had truly murderous intent.
Trist, who was observing the situation, also grew anxious but didn't know what to say.
In his heart, Su Lie was indeed deserving of death.
However, such matters clearly involved too many vested interests, and Matt couldn't be allowed to kill him so haphazardly!
Not to mention that Su Lie was a tenth-order awakened, and losing one meant a national strategic resource gone.
Even if he were to be killed later, it would have to be after thorough deliberation and judgment by the Dragon Country's law enforcement agencies. How could it be so casual, decided by a makeshift tribunal?
Just as Trist was hesitating whether to intervene, a vast group of several dozen people suddenly flew down from the sky.
"Principal Ma, hold your sword!"
Looking up, everyone realized that the leader was none other than the Su family patriarch, Su Chang Gong, who had been absent from public view for a long time!
And behind him followed a large contingent of Su family elders...
Among this group, there were six or seven tenth-order awakened individuals alone.
The remaining eighth and ninth-order awakened were countless.
Su Chang Gong saw that Matt indeed paused his sword and quickly descended from the sky, bowing deeply to Matt:
"Principal Ma, my elder has always suffered from mental illness, and this is a verifiable congenital condition, not a lie!"
"His ramblings and erratic behavior have long been commonplace, I beg your understanding..."
"Of course, even so, I will fully compensate for all the losses he has caused."
"I hope Principal Ma, for the sake of my Su family's reputation, can spare my elder's life!"
"This is the last elder of my family who is of advanced age... I wish to fulfill my filial duty."
Matt burst into laughter:
"I say, you little bastard, why are you only showing up now? So you rushed to forge evidence after seeing that scene..."
"Filial piety? Filial piety for your damn mother!"
"When your parents came here shamelessly, why didn't you think of filial piety then?"
"The mere Su family wants me to give you face?"
"Give you a ghost's face, I'll punch you in the damn face!"
Saying this, Matt strode forward and threw a punch at the air.
Su Chang Gong never expected Matt's temper to be so explosive, and his mouth to be so foul.
Even more absurdly, he actually acted immediately without the slightest hesitation.
And Matt's punch, though seemingly ordinary, swept across all directions.
Accompanying his fist was a brilliant and resplendent galaxy swirling around him.
With a simple punch, it seemed to traverse countless dimensions, flashing with countless star-lit fist imprints that directly shattered the entire Su family group from the front.
Even Su Chang Gong, a late tenth-order awakened, was forced to spit blood and appear disheveled, let alone the other elders.
The tenth-order could barely maintain their appearance, while the eighth and ninth-order bled from all seven orifices, suffering concussions, and lay on the ground, barely breathing.
Su Chang Gong, enraged, pulled out his Dragon Spring sword, preparing to put up a token resistance.
"Insolent Su family scion, dare to resist?"
"Then let this grandfather teach you what swordsmanship is!"
"Meteor from Beyond the Heavens!"
Matt gripped the star river long sword in his left hand and, with a reverse sweep, unleashed a sword strike.
The deep and chilling sword aura instantly seemed to traverse seven or eight dimensions, unleashing an impossibly fast series of slashes, leaving at least seventeen or eighteen sword marks on Su Chang Gong's body.
The unfortunate elders behind him were not spared either, each receiving several slashes.
After this sword strike, there wasn't a single member of the Su family left standing steadily.
They all lay in pools of blood, groaning in pain.
Too brutal...
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp in unison.
This Matt was overwhelmingly powerful, attacking without a word, crippling them with both a punch and a sword...
The Su family was truly having a terrible day.
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral completely out of control, Trist could no longer hold back, quickly pulling out his Supreme Council medal and urgently saying:
"Principal Ma! Principal Ma! Calm down! Please don't get agitated!"
"I am Trist, a member of the Supreme Council! There's something I need to tell you..."
"This matter really cannot be handled according to your whims, it must be planned carefully!"
"Think about it..."
But Trist never expected that his words would be met with a powerful kick from Matt.
Matt's flying kick!
Boom!
This blow clearly showed that Matt had put considerable force into it, kicking Trist's body through two or three walls consecutively, finally embedding him in the outermost city wall.
"A mere brat, relying on a mere token, wants to show off in front of me?"
"Go back to your Supreme Council!"
"Let alone you! Even the Chairman of the Supreme Council wouldn't dare stop me. You're quite eager, aren't you?"
After this kick, let alone others, even Lin Ran was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, he used to think he was a bit too arrogant himself...
Compared to his boss today, he was completely inferior!
Punching the Su family elders' council, kicking a Supreme Council member, and then executing Su Lie, the Su family ancestor and tenth-order awakened, in broad daylight...
He was truly invincible!
Looking left and right at the deathly silent scene, Matt retracted his star river long sword, casually clapped his hands, and smiled kindly at everyone:
"Does anyone else have any objections to my decision to execute Su Lie?"
"It's fine, feel free to speak up, I will listen carefully..."
"This old man, I am very amiable and approachable."
