On the road leading to the Mountain Town, Chu Renyi and some Chu family members were being surrounded and attacked by a group of people.
At that instant, most of the Chu family members had heavy injuries and they laid on the side of the road. Within some of them, because their injuries were too heavy, they passed away. Only Chu Renyi who was at the 8th level of the Spirit realm painfully propped himself up.
But facing 6 people at the 8th level of the Spirit realm along with several injured enemies at the 7th level of the Spirit realm, Chu Renyi was obviously at a disadvantage. He had countless wounds and he was breathing roughly with huge breaths. Currently, helplessness was within his gaze.
“Chu Renyi, you never would have thought that we waited many hours for you right? Today, no one can save your Chu family. How many Chu family members that come back are how many will die!” The male leader fiercely said.
“Mazhong, my Chu family has no enmity with your Ma family. Why are you helping the Xu family and harming my Chu family?!” Chu Renyi loudly questioned.
“Haha, Chu Renyi. You should be clear in your heart why we are joining together to deal with your Chu family. You think that you could hide this thing from others?” Mazhong coldly smiled as he crowded around Chu Renyi while revealing killing intent.
“We will still need to see if you have the ability to deal with my Chu family.” But just at that time, a clear voice exploded like thunder.
To the sudden voice, the Ma family jumped in fear and quickly turned their heads to look back. The seemingly unimportant action caused everyone to be shocked.
They saw a young man riding a big, white horse. He was slowly going towards their direction, and obviously, that person was Chufeng.
“That’s the young man of the Chu family, Chufeng. Why has he returned?”
“Something’s wrong. Look at his clothes! That’s…the Green Dragon School’s core disciple clothing.”
At the Chu family gathering, the people did see Chufeng before so they instantly recognized him with a glance. However, when they saw Chufeng’s core disciple clothing, they were all greatly shocked.
From the end of the Chu family gathering, one short month hadn’t even passed. But, clearly, the Chufeng who was only an inner court disciple so quickly became a core disciple. That simply was unimaginable.
Even though they knew Chufeng’s talent was impressive and he would become extremely useful in the future, they never would have thought that his talent was that outstanding. It exceeded their imaginations.
“Chufeng, run!” Suddenly, Chu Renyi yelled out.
“Surround him. Do not let him escape.” Hearing that, Mazhong reacted to it and quickly instructed the crowd to surround Chufeng.
As for Chufeng, he did not even put the group of people in his eyes. He stood there, high on the horse and looked down on the extremely nervous crowd that sealed his exit.
“Haha, you little demon. You’re quite impressive, becoming a core disciple of the Green Dragon School at that age. It would be fairly dreadful if we let you continue developing.” Seeing that Chufeng’s escape was sealed, Mazhong laughed in relief.
“That’s right. Today, we must completely exterminate the Chu family or else there would be endless troubles in the future.”
The other people also echoed him. After all, Chufeng’s talent was too terrifying. So strong that it made them feel fear. If they didn’t kill Chufeng, there would be too many troubles in the future.
“Bastards. You want to exterminate my Chu family? Go dream.” At that instant, Chu Renyi was as if he was insane and rushed forward.
Today, a calamity really arrived at the Chu family and pretty much the entire Mountain Town was going to be perished. The hopes of the Chu family were placed on the young generation, and obviously, Chufeng was their biggest hope within the young generation. Although he personally did not like Chufeng, as part of the Chu family, he had to protect Chufeng even if he sacrificed his life.
“Chufeng, run! Tell Yue-er and the others not to return to the Mountain Town!” As Chu Renyi slaughtered as best as he could, he loudly yelled out.
“Hmph. You can’t even look after yourself yet you want to save others. Kill them all.”
Mazhong coldly snorted and he waved and chopped towards Chu Renyi with an iron blade in his hands. At the same time, the others also attacked Chufeng. Their moves were heartless and they really were planning to kill.
*whoosh whoosh whoosh*
Mazhong was also at the 8th level of the Spirit realm but he was in his heathy years. In addition to Chu Renyi already heavily injured, Mazhong’s blade was unusually strong. After a few chops, Chu Renyi was incomparably strainted. His speed already slowed and it was hard for him to defend.
“Ahh~~~~”
But just at that time, endless cries of pain started to sound behind him. At first, Mazhong ignored it and he even thought that it was his own subordinates that were beating Chufeng up.
However, the more he heard, the more he felt something was off. Those voices seemed to be from his own subordinates and from nearby, seeing the Chu family member’s expression that had happiness within surprise, he finally understood that perhaps things did not happen as smoothly as he imagined.
*whoosh*
Feeling that someone was wrong, Mazhong faked a strike then dashed to the side. Taking a glance, he was instantly stunned. He saw the body and the head of the Ma family members separate as they breathed no more.
Looking over, he saw Chufeng’s body which was sprayed with blood yet he was without a scratch as he stepped on the corpse of a Ma family member. He was wiping away the bloodstains on his hand with their clothes, and seemingly feeling Mazhong’s gaze, he couldn’t help but turn his head and he revealed an evil smile.
“You…You…”
At that instant, Mazhong’s face paled from fear and he quickly backed off a few steps. The blade in his hand was also thrown at the ground. With a trip, he fell on the ground with a poof.
He never would have thought that the many experts of the Ma family would be instantly slaughtered by Chufeng. His methods were even so cruel as all of them were decapitated.
How did the young man in front of him even look like a person that had no experience of the world? He was simply a demon that had ruthless methods, a cold heart, and killed without even blinking. Especially when Chufeng cast his gaze towards him and shone the killing intent from his body, the repression almost made him suffocate.
Chufeng did not pay attention to Mazhong’s reactions. He walked forward, one step at a time, and he picked up the blade that Mazhong dropped on the floor. After looking at it for a while, he said, “Nice blade.”
*whoosh* Before he even finished speaking, a cold light flashed past and blood sprayed out. Mazhong’s did not even have the chance to cry out before his head fell on the floor.
Looking at that scene, even Chu Renyi and the Chu family members trembled from fright. Drops of cold sweat appeared on their forehead.
Everything that happened was too inconceivable. Putting off how Chufeng’s strength was so strong that he could kill people of the 8th level of the Spirit realm like killing a little chick, with his age, how could he be so ruthless? After all, Chufeng was still a young man that was 15 years old. Even big adults might not have been able to do all those things.
“Uncle, what happened?” Chufeng threw the blade to the side and quickly questioned. He could tell that the Chu family seemed to have met with difficulties.
“Feng-er, there’s a great catastrophe.” After Chufeng’s question, only then did Chu Renyi recover from his shock as he emotionally explained everything that happened.

“i find it funny that most people are alright with chinese novels having guys that go around murdering entire families for revenge or treasures, people killing theur enemies in the most cruel ways and eating their souls, but raging when the story turns to rape.
I’m not saying rape is good, just saying that murder of entire family and eating souls isn’t all that better”
“whats wrong with rape? they probably deserved it. he is a training to become an immortal, raping a few mortals is seriously nothing. you have to put yourself in his shoes and not only that, he has this sparky inside of him which is the reason he is so ruthless. at least thats what i think. these are not modern times, back in the day you would attack a village kill/enslave the men and rape the women. thats basic shit, its even in the bible and ordered by god. dont apply modern standards on ancient people.”
Dude, you sound like an illiterate (what about Darius The Great, that didn’t even allow slave labor? Or did you know that Ghengis Khan abolished torture, and in Anchient China in the year 747, the emperor abolished the death penalty altogether? As far as Roman Emperors went, you had the Adrian and Marcus Aurelius and the Caligulas and Neros, don’t make sweeping generalizations just because you want to score a cheap point) creep, I would advise against rape apology for the sake of your future social life.
Someone should probably read again history and mythology, maybe then he (someone that can say “they deserve it” obviously wouldn’t be a female, and from the looks of it likely won’t even have to deal with one in his life) would know that while a strong, ruthless conqueror was celebrated, rape has always been viewed as a crime (of course, this excludes special circumstances like prisoners of war, etc.). Even then, look for example at the embarassment of the Rape of the Sabine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_rape#Ancient_Rome) to Livy. While in practice the strong could do what they wanted, there was a concept of a wise ruler that could make the country prosper (look at Legend of the Three Kingdoms or other literature, and tell me if you see the heroes going around raping people… as far as I know, not even Cao Cao was depicted in that light).
Cao Cao has, while being the “villain”, has his nobility. In D&D terms, we might draw distinctions between Neutral and Lawful Evil, and Chaotic Evil. It’s more nuanced than this, meaning that one could have a code, some standards, and there is a difference between simply being ok with massacre, or having a goal, and simply getting off on it. The families, one could see as essentially preventing them from doing to him what he did to them (coming back for revenge). Eating souls is pretty much ok (they are not conscious as far as I understand). At the very least, those have a justification (even if only revenge/power), a goal, whereas with rape he simply goes from warrior to someone that takes something beautiful and destroys it -in the beginning, he was the one saving people from rape, curiously always from ugly dudes, then with Eggy he said “what kind of person did you take me for”… a fucking lowlife rapist, apparently-.
Oh, the hypocrisy.
It’s not necessarily a competition between what is better or worse (though if you ask me wheter I think a murderer or this fuck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzl_case deserves the name “monster”, I would go with the latter, and if the number of mass suicides in anchient and not so ancient times of warfare is any indication, many people would radically disagree with the assessment that death is the worse that could ever happen to you), but about what getting off on something like that makes of his character. If someone raped his daughter, it would be revolting for him to go full pedophile (though if we wanted historical accuracy… but do we really?), and his opponent would also prefer to be simply killed to that -because humans aren’t cars, and hurting their bodies is not the worse thing you could do to them-.
As far as “worse” is concerned, it’s a matter a matter of distinguishing a ruthless warrior from a demented creep. You might do a bodycount and deal with it as if humans were cars, but frankly one thing is a ruthless warrior that has no pity for his enemies (fierce, powerful), another a pedophile or a sexual predator -it’s what tells you about the character the fact that he could have a hard on and get off on doing that to a woman-. Same disgust that one would feel by seeing him depicted as a deadbet drunkard and wife beater. Not as bad as murder, maybe, but it’s what it tells you about the character.

Let’s be honest, killing peole in xianxia is the same as killing enemies in rpg’s, no big deal. The reason you don’t have many main characters raping people is the same reason you don’t have rpg’s with that content: people would find the whole situation revolting and creepy as fuck.
Believe it or not, not everyone convicted for murder in prison is/would be a rapist, let’s not even talk about the treatment child rapists get in prison. In other words, even criminals have standards, and it’s not as if they would be okay with/willing to do absolutely anything.

If they didn’t make Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms a rapist, I don’t see why you would think that it would be a necessity in order to make the thing “realistic” (let’s forget that Chufeng himself protested with Eggy that he wasn’t that sort of revolting person, and turned rapist out of the blue… it’s like enjoying a good story and then oh, the MC turns out to be a pedophile that kidnapped kids and kept them in his basement, a sort of surreal Billy Cosby/Roman Polansky moment, if you will).
