The Psychopath's Harem
Chapter 168 Descend Into The Abyss: The Su Family’s Fiery Demise (4)
Bi Huang and Su Rong made their way up the hill, their feet crunching against the dried leaves littering the path.
As they drew closer, Su Rong's heart pounded in her chest, and her eyes narrowed at Xia Tian's figure standing in the distance.
Despite her inner turmoil, Su Rong composed herself and kept a calm expression on her face, suspecting that Xia Tian was the mastermind behind all the chaos that had befallen her family.
She was a middle-aged woman with long black hair that was pulled back into a neat bun. Her face was lined with age and experience, but her eyes still held a hint of youthful fire.
Xia Tian's eyes lit up with malicious glee as he spotted the middle-aged woman walking behind Bi Huang.
A wicked grin spread across his face as he spoke, "Tsk, who would have thought that a woman who sleeps with her own grandson would have no shame on her face?"
Su Rong was taken aback by his words, and her face paled.
The weight of guilt bore down on her, and she could barely find the words to speak.
Falling to her knees, Su Rong begged, "Your Excellency, please punish me for my sins only. Don't drag my whole family into it."
Xia Tian's eyes flickered with amusement as he watched Su Rong fall to her knees, begging for forgiveness.
He could see the guilt and fear in her eyes, and it only made him more pleased with himself.
Su Rong misunderstood Xia Tian's words, thinking that this calamity was due to her immoral deed with Su Yang. She felt ashamed and embarrassed, and wished she could disappear into the ground.
But Xia Tian had no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding.
Instead, he decided to play this game further.
It was too entertaining to watch Su Rong squirm and suffer in her guilt.
Xia Tian crouched down in front of Su Rong, clicking his tongue as if pretending to be annoyed.
"I don't think anyone can save you or your family anymore," he announced, his hand running across her face.
Su Rong flinched at his touch, feeling a cold shiver run down her spine.
Her mind raced as she tried to think of a way to save herself and her family, but she knew it was futile.
Xia Tian watched her reaction with amusement, enjoying the power he had over her.
He could see the fear and desperation in her eyes, and it only made him feel more amused.

Su Rong hesitated before answering, knowing that her confession could have dire consequences. "No one else knows," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Xia Tian nodded, his smile widening. "Good. Now, let's see what we can do to help you and your family, shall we?"
Su Rong was stunned, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked at Xia Tian.
Before she could even comprehend what was happening, he spoke again, his voice commanding and urgent. "Strip your clothes and follow behind me."
The words sent a chill down Su Rong's spine, but she knew she had no other choice.
With trembling hands, she quickly removed her outer garments, leaving only a thin layer of clothing to cover her body.
Without another word, Xia Tian leapt from above the hill and disappeared into the inferno of flames.
Su Rong hesitated for only a moment before following behind him, her heart pounding in her chest.
The flames, which appeared to be harmless, suddenly burned even the remaining pair of clothes onto her body, making her completely exposed.
She let out a gasp of shock and covered herself with her hands, trying to hide her nakedness.
Su Rong's eyes widened in horror, but there was nothing she could do.
Both of them landed on the ground, and her breasts shook in open view as she flaunted her body.
The guards nearby became alert and turned in surprise, stunned by the naked woman being followed by an excessively handsome man.
"What the...?" one of the guards exclaimed, his eyes bugging out of his head.
"Is that a woman? And why is she naked? She looks familiar..." another guard asked in shock.
The bystanders around them were equally shocked and murmurs of disbelief spread through the crowd.
"Mother!?" Su Li cried out in disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest, as she stared in shock at her mother's naked form.
Su Mei and Su Xia's faces twisted in disgust, their eyes wide with horror.
"What in the world is happening here? Why is mother... naked?" Su Mei's voice shook with fear and revulsion.
Su Hua's eyes narrowed as she looked at Xia Tian, suspicion and mistrust etched on his face.
The patriarch's expression was dark and ominous, his features twisted in anger.
Su Rong's face was contorted with fury, but she dared not speak, keeping her head down in shame.
Su Xia stepped forward, her face twisted in disgust. "You... you're a disgrace to our family. How could you let yourself be seen like this?" she spat, her voice filled with contempt.
"Talking to her is pointless, she is with the enemy!" Su Li thundered, her voice filled with fury and disbelief.
Her words caused the others to gasp in shock, their expressions turning to horror and disbelief.
Su Mei stepped forward, her face a mask of disbelief and fear. "Mother, what has happened to you? Why are you... like this?" she asked, her voice shaking with emotion.
Their voices were silenced by a thunderous roar from Su Lan, the patriarch, his face twisted with rage and fury.
"Enough!" he screamed, his voice echoing through the room. "That woman has already betrayed us! Stop talking and attack!" he announced, his words filled with malice and hatred.
!!
Su Rong's heart was pounding as she watched her children attack Xia Tian. "Stop!" she finally yelled, her voice trembling with fear.
Su Xia turned to her mother, his eyes blazing with fury. "Mother, are you with us or against us?"
"I...I don't know," Su Rong stuttered. "I can't do this..."
Whose side she was in?
Until Xia Tian open is mouth, she can decide nothing on herself, or an even greater calamity might follow.
Su Hua and Su Lan sneered at their mother's weakness. "Then you leave us no choice," Su Lan growled
"Keep going! Attack!" Su Xia's voice boomed through the room.
Her face was set with determination, even though the person standing before her was her own mother.
If Su Rong was on the enemy's side, then she had to die today.
Su Rong was a tenth stage overlord, a formidable opponent. Xia Tian's strength was unknown, but they had to take a chance. Her five children lunged at Xia Tian, who was presumably the leader of the opposing side.
The air crackled with energy as they conjured their qi.
Suddenly, they realized their reserves were being sucked dry by the flames in a matter of seconds.
It was an odd anomaly that made them stop for a moment, but they quickly recovered and attacked Xia Tian with their weapons, ready to use brute force against him.
"Don't-" Su Rong's eyes nervously flickered towards her children.
She wanted to speak, but seeing Xia Tian's back, she stopped.
Her face was filled with hesitation, unsure of what to do.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiang Mejia, too, felt something was wrong. She couldn't stop her husband, Su Lan, though.
It would be challenging the Patriarch's words, and she couldn't risk that.
Su Hua and Su Lan's attacks landed on Xia Tian, both fists filled with raw power.
Their faces bloomed into smiles of victory, but just as they thought they had won, an ugly realization hit them.
Xia Tian was nowhere to be seen.
Su Hua and Su Lan looked around, confused. Suddenly, a kick landed behind their backs, and they were sent flying.
"Ahhhh!"
"Ahhh"
The men's bodies convulsed violently, their coughs accompanied by the sound of blood splattering onto the ground.
They staggered with each step, indicating the gravity of their injuries.
"Ugh!" Su Hua groaned, doubling over as he clutched his chest in pain.
"This isn't good," Su Lan gasped, his voice strained and hoarse with worry.
In that moment, Xia Tian sensed a chill run down his spine. He turned around just in time to see three weapons aimed at him.
Su Xia's spear was dangerously close to his heart, Su Lu and Mei's swords were aimed at his hands.
"What do you want?" Xia Tian asked, his voice calm despite the deadly weapons pointed at him.
"We want you dead," Su Xia spat, his face twisted in anger.
Xia Tian remained indifferent, his eyes cold and calculating. "You'll have to try harder than that," he said, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
Without warning, Su Xia lunged forward with his spear.
Xia Tian didn't flinch, instead, he took the attack head-on.
Splurt!
The spear impaled his heart with a sickening sound of metal piercing flesh.
Xia Tian's hands moved lightning-fast, grabbing onto the swords aimed at him.
He sliced through them with ease, his own blood mixing with his opponents' as the swords sliced through his hands.
The triumphant trio stood in disbelief at how easy it had been to defeat their opponent.
Their initial elation gave way to confusion at the sudden turn of events.
"What just happened?" Su Lu muttered, his voice barely audible.
