In the blink of an eye, dozens of people streamed in.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a chubby face, exuding a crude air.
Wan Jiapeng’s expression immediately darkened as he gritted his teeth and said word for word, "Zheng Tian Ming!"
Zheng Qixuan's father, Zheng Tian Ming!
Wan Jiapeng sneered, "I was just about to look for you. Who knew you'd deliver yourself here, saving me the trip."
Zheng Tian Ming had no time for others. Seeing Zheng Qixuan lying in a pool of blood, seemingly dead, his whole body trembled violently.
"Little Xuan!"
Zheng Tian Ming rushed over in a flash but could not wake his son no matter what. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his body filled with killing intent, almost tangible!
Just then, Huang Chuan stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zheng, it was this scarface who tried to kill Young Master Xuan, and that country bumpkin who could've saved Young Master Xuan but refused to lift a finger as he died!"
Many people's expressions changed.
If not for Qin Xuan's presence tonight, no one could've come out unscathed.
Yet this Huang Chuan was biting the hand that fed him!
Zheng Tian Ming was silent for a long time.
Confirming his son's death, the sudden anguish left him frozen, as if his soul had left his body.
After a while, Zheng Tian Ming stood up and roared hoarsely, "Except for Wan Jiapeng and this country bumpkin, irrelevant people get out now!!"
The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
Qin Xuan looked at Xia Wanying and Chen Yan and said lightly, "You two leave first."
"But..." Chen Yan hesitated.
"Go on, you want to be a burden here?" Qin Xuan yelled angrily.
Chen Yan nibbled her lip hesitantly before obeying.
The usually timid Xia Wanying, however, refused to leave no matter what, a rare resoluteness in her gentle eyes!
"Listen to me, wait for me outside. You staying will be useless," Qin Xuan said gently.
Xia Wanying shook her head.
Qin Xuan looked at Chen Yan helplessly, "Take her away, now!"
Chen Yan took a deep breath and forcibly pulled Xia Wanying away.
The private room instantly felt more spacious.
The air was suffused with killing intent.
Zheng Tian Ming looked at Wan Jiapeng first. "I don't know where a stray dog like you got the courage to return to Yuncheng. With your capabilities, how will you avenge what happened back then?"
"In essence, I've already exacted my revenge since your son is dead now, hahaha!"
Wan Jiapeng laughed loudly. "If I can kill you too, that'll be a bonus. If not, dying here isn't a loss either."
These words completely enraged Zheng Tian Ming.
Without warning, Zheng Tian Ming waved his arm.
Dozens rushed towards Wan Jiapeng and the two sides clashed.
At the same time, Zheng Tian Ming looked at Qin Xuan. "You could've saved my son but watched him die?"
"Yes," Qin Xuan admitted directly. "Your son intended to kill me first. How can I be expected to save him? If your mind isn't broken, you shouldn't ask such stupid questions."
"Young man, bearing grudges may feel good, but have you thought of the consequences?" Zheng Tian Ming asked.
"Consequences?"
Qin Xuan smiled calmly. "Then I'm curious what you can use tonight to keep me here."
During their conversation, the battle beside them had ended.
Wan Jiapeng and his men were completely annihilated, not a single survivor!
Qin Xuan realized this Wan Jiapeng had probably returned for revenge with a readiness to die. His abilities were a little too lacking...
"Scared now?" Zheng Tian Ming gritted his teeth. "Your fate later will be worse than theirs, because my son didn't have to die!"
Based on this robber logic, Qin Xuan had no desire to argue and immediately stomped!
Boom!
A wave of energy erupted outward, instantly shattering the floor. The might of a martial arts grandmaster, demonstrated to perfection.
"Grandmaster of Inner Strength?!"
Zheng Tian Ming's heart shook violently.
He wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death - this wet-behind-the-ears brat was actually a mythical martial arts grandmaster!
Under normal circumstances, no matter how arrogant Zheng Tian Ming was, he would be humble before a grandmaster.
But right now, blinded by hatred for Qin Xuan, he had lost all reason.
"Since you're a grandmaster, saving my son would've been easy. Why were you unwilling, why!!"
Zheng Tian Ming roared hoarsely. With a wave of his arm, dozens of his men drew their guns simultaneously, the pitch-black muzzles aimed at Qin Xuan.
"Martial arts grandmasters may be powerful but are not impervious to blades and bullets. Tonight you will die and keep my son company in the afterlife!"
Without hesitation, Zheng Tian Ming ordered, "Open fire!"
In that instant, Qin Xuan's eyebrows creased tightly.
If it was just a few gunners, they wouldn't even have a chance to fire.
But with dozens of gunners, the threat was enormous.
At the critical moment, Qin Xuan grabbed some cups off the table and flung them heavily.
Bang bang bang!
The cups flew towards the ceiling lights in different directions, creating a cacophony of collisions.
The lights instantly shattered, plunging the private room into pitch blackness.
The dozens of gunners had already fired when darkness fell!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye!
Bang bang bang.
The silenced guns continuously spat out bullets.
Zheng Tian Ming suddenly realized something and urgently yelled, "Fire towards the door!"
Gunshots rang out again.
But what awaited them was Qin Xuan's voice, "I'll remember this debt. I'll have your dog life within three days!"
The voice faded away.
He had clearly escaped!
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Zheng Tian Ming was enraged beyond control, roaring like a madman. "Useless, useless all of you!"
With dozens firing at once, how could they fail to stop him?
This martial arts grandmaster was too frightening!
Letting the tiger return to the mountain, from now on he could forget about ever sleeping soundly again!
At the same time, in a hotel room.
A woman with short hair in a black leather jacket, giving off an elegant and heroic air, stood silently by the window.
Just standing there wordlessly gave off an extremely dangerous vibe.
Behind her, a subordinate lowered his head and reported, "Something happened. He was probably shot, exact location unknown, but judging from the blood on the ground, it’s quite serious."
The woman was silent, seemingly unresponsive.
But the subordinate clearly sensed the surrounding temperature plummeting!
After a long while, the woman whispered, "What gall from the Black Dragon Hall and Zheng Tian Ming, to harm my junior brother. I will wipe out his entire family!"
...
Western outskirts.
At a lavish villa named Autumn Waters.
Zheng Tian Ming had returned with Zheng Qixuan’s corpse.
Dozens of his brothers all stood in the garden, faces full of grief.
The atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.
At this moment, a young woman in a black leather jacket slowly approached alone from the main gate.
The instant Zheng Tian Ming saw her, he inexplicably sensed danger.
Despite his crude upbringing and blood-stained hands, an unfamiliar woman had made him smell danger out of thin air!
"Who are you, what do you want?" Zheng Tian Ming was extremely wary.
"I'm here to kill," the woman nonchalantly uttered three words. Before anyone could react, a Gatling gun appeared in her hand.
Without further ado!
Rat-tat-tat-tat–
Zheng Tian Ming's dozens of subordinates didn't even have a chance to draw their weapons before being mowed down on the spot.
Zheng Tian Ming's scalp tingled, his entire body frozen in place.
He had seen ruthless people before but never someone so ruthless.
With just a few words, dozens of lives were extinguished!
"You, you...just who are you? When have I ever offended you?"
Zheng Tian Ming's Adams apple bobbed up and down as he retreated step by step, scared out of his wits.
The woman casually discarded the Gatling gun and walked towards him with her hands behind her back. "Anyone who dares harm a hair on my junior brother's head doesn't deserve to live in this world."
"Junior brother?"
Zheng Tian Ming was confused.
But he quickly recalled there being blood stains when that country bumpkin left the club earlier. He had clearly been shot while escaping.
Could this frightening woman be that country bumpkin's senior sister!
"You..."
"Enough nonsense. No one can save you tonight."
The woman approached unhurriedly.
Zheng Tian Ming was terrified beyond belief, desperately shouting, "Master Zhang, Master Yang, Master Wang!"
In the next instant...
Three middle-aged men walked out from the villa side by side.
Based on the lightness of their steps, any martial artist could immediately judge that these were three martial arts grandmasters!
Martial arts grandmasters were extremely rare in a small place like this. Even the backer of Zheng Tian Ming didn't have any grandmasters by his side.
They naturally had nothing to do with Zheng Tian Ming. They were only here because they had taken a liking to an item that Zheng Tian Ming had bought from the antique market, and after investigating, they tracked it here.
These three men demonstrated their grandmaster temperament by not forcibly taking the item from Zheng Tian Ming. But earlier, when Zheng Tian Ming had left halfway through negotiations due to his son's matters.
Seeing the three grandmasters appear,
Zheng Tian Ming hurriedly shouted, "Esteemed masters, I'll give that item to you for free and won't ask for anything. I just need you to help me resolve the current crisis!"
The three looked at each other.
Then, Zhang Da Shi calmly nodded, "Alright!"
Hearing this,
Zheng Tian Ming heaved a huge sigh of relief. He stared straight at the woman in leather and said, "Your junior brother is a grandmaster, so you should be one too. No matter how powerful you are, you can't possibly block the combined might of three grandmasters!"
"Grandmaster?"
The woman's expression was cold, her tone extremely indifferent, "Trash like them, I can take on eighty at a time."
What arrogance!
Zheng Tian Ming didn't say anything, but the three grandmasters had already started getting angry.
Any martial arts grandmaster commanded an extremely high status, able to have their way.
They were terrifying existences worshipped and fawned upon by countless people. How could they tolerate a little girl spouting nonsense here!
Zhang Da Shi stepped forward first.
He fiercely struck out with a palm.
"Trash."
With one hand behind her back, the woman flicked her other palm forward casually.
Slap!
Zhang Da Shi was sent flying instantly. After landing on the ground, he couldn't even let out a shriek before dying on the spot!
The atmosphere froze over.
Yang Da Shi and Wang Da Shi exchanged a look, both revealing shocked expressions on their faces, and their hands couldn't help but tremble!
Zheng Tian Ming was even more scared out of his wits. He, who usually thought of himself as a powerful figure, only felt a warm sensation, and a large wet patch appeared under his feet...
"Don't...don't kill me. I'm willing to apologize to your junior brother, and will gladly pay any compensation!"
Zheng Tian Ming suddenly knelt on the ground, begging piteously.
As usual, the woman remained expressionless. Her cold voice was like it came from the depths of hell, "Anyone who dares harm a single hair on my junior brother does not deserve to live in this world. You all - must die!"
