High in the sky.
Almost home, Jiang Ning nearly fell from his red flying sword.
Just a moment ago!
An excruciating pain had pierced through his chest!
“Whoever hurt my mother…
I, Jiang Ning, will slaughter them all!”
Jiang Ning roared as a powerful killing intent erupted from him.
…
Hearing the heart-rending screams, Brother Gou didn’t find them jarring in the slightest; instead, his face was a mask of pure enjoyment.
Even his own underlings found Brother Gou’s sadism hard to stomach.
They had parents of their own.
To use such brutal methods on a helpless old woman…
Their actions were just too cruel!
“Brother Gou, maybe we should just stop!
The boss told us to kidnap the old hag, so let’s just do that.
We shouldn’t waste the boss’s time over this,” one of his underlings couldn’t resist saying.
SLAP!
Brother Gou slapped him hard across the face and snarled, “Are you telling me what to do?
I’m here for revenge!
I don’t give a damn how old this hag is.
She offended me, and even if she were dead, I’d dig up her corpse just to flog it!”
As he spoke, countless gazes turned toward him, their faces filled with admiration.
In their line of work, ruthlessness was everything!
Feeling their eyes on him, Brother Gou’s face flashed with smug satisfaction.
But the moment he remembered that a woman had severed his arm, his expression immediately turned savage again.
“Old hag!
If you’re going to blame someone, blame that pretty-boy son of yours for offending me!”
As Brother Gou spoke, the corner of his mouth twisted into a smirk as he slowly raised the severed arm…
The next second, he brought it smashing down.
WHAM!
A loud crack echoed.
But this time, the severed arm didn’t land on Su Qingwan’s head.
Out of nowhere, a figure had appeared right in front of Brother Gou.
It was Jiang Ning!
He stood before Brother Gou like a phantom, his entire body emanating an immense chill.
Startled by those icy eyes, Brother Gou panicked.
He viciously swung the severed arm in his hand at Jiang Ning.
CRACK!
The arm struck Jiang Ning, but it shattered on impact as if it were made of paper-mache.
At that moment, everyone was completely stunned.
The shattered flesh and bone didn’t even touch Jiang Ning.
Instead, as if by some repulsive force, it all sprayed back, splattering Brother Gou and his men.
SPLAT!
In an instant, they were all drenched in gore and left in a sorry state.
“To come here and harm my mother while I was away!
You’re all really asking for it!”
Jiang Ning’s voice was frigid, the killing intent in his eyes completely undisguised.
He took a step forward.
Like they had just met the God of Slaughter himself, Brother Gou and his men all stumbled back in a panic…
“Ning’Er…
run…
run away…”
Jiang Ning had just raised his right hand when Su Qingwan, behind him, began to wail deliriously.
The killing intent vanished in an instant.
Jiang Ning lowered his head and bent down, carefully helping Su Qingwan up.
“Mom—you’ve suffered!”
Jiang Ning’s voice trembled.
He was a son, a cultivator returned home.
Yet he had allowed his mother to suffer such a terrible ordeal!
These people!
They all deserved to die!
“Ning’Er…
Mom’s fine…
hurry and run!”
Su Qingwan struggled to stay conscious, constantly trying to push Jiang Ning away.
The sight of her flayed scalp, her broken palm and finger bones, caused a savage glint to flash through Jiang Ning’s eyes.
Suppressing the urge to kill them on the spot, Jiang Ning touched a finger to the spot between Su Qingwan’s eyebrows.
In an instant, a wave of Spiritual Power swept through Su Qingwan’s entire body and began to repair her injuries, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
“Brother Gou, is that him?
Is that the Jiang Ning our boss is looking for?”
Just then, an underling pointed at Jiang Ning, his face alight with excitement.
Jiang Sihai had said that whoever could kill Jiang Ning…
…would receive a reward of ten million!
Ten million!
It was a massive fortune!
Enough to drive a man insane!
“Yes, that’s him!
He’s Jiang Ning!”
Another underling recognized him by comparing him to a photo.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes burned with greed.
“Courting death!”
Jiang Ning roared and stomped his foot.
BOOM!
A powerful force erupted, and everyone inside the ten-square-meter hut was sent flying out, crashing hard onto the ground.
“Mom, please wait here.
I’ll be right back.”
Jiang Ning carefully placed Su Qingwan on the bed.
With a light wave of his hand, a protective barrier instantly formed around her.
‘I will not make the same mistake twice!’
“Who sent you!”
Closing the door, Jiang Ning’s icy, tangible killing intent condensed once more.
“Kid!
I didn’t expect you to be a Martial Artist!”
Brother Gou struggled to his feet, shouting at Jiang Ning with a stubborn look on his face.
“Tell me, and I’ll grant you an intact corpse!”
Jiang Ning’s gaze swept over him, and the immense pressure forced Brother Gou to his knees.
With a CRACK, the flagstone under him shattered and his leg bones snapped.
A blood-curdling scream instantly pierced the heavens.
“Kid, let our Brother Gou go!
We’re from the Four Seas Gang!
If you offend us, your whole family will die!”
One of the underlings, scared out of his wits, couldn’t help but shout at Jiang Ning.
He had wanted to run long ago but had to pretend to be calm to save face.
“The Four Seas Gang?
Are they supposed to be powerful?”
Jiang Ning spoke with indifference and flicked a finger toward the noisy underling.
BANG—
The underling’s head exploded, splattering brains and blood all over the ground.
Even those nearby who couldn’t dodge in time were covered in it.
At this moment, everyone’s legs trembled, their bodies filled with terror.
“A demon—it’s a demon—”
After a moment, someone finally snapped out of it, screaming as they ran for the van.
Hoping to save their own skin.
But!
Just as the man scrambled into the driver’s seat, the van exploded like a bomb.
BOOM!
Massive flames shot into the sky, chilling the remaining survivors to the bone.
THUMP!
THUMP!
“Please, let us go!
We were just forced to come here and kidnap your mother!”
“Boss!
Spare our lives!
If you spare us, we’ll be your loyal dogs from now on!”
…
They all kowtowed to Jiang Ning repeatedly, begging frantically for mercy.
“I don’t need any.”
Jiang Ning spoke indifferently and flicked his index finger lightly.
POP!
POP!
POP!
With the exception of Brother Gou, everyone’s heads burst open like brilliant fireworks.
Brother Gou was scared stiff by the sight!
A wave of regret instantly washed over him, spreading through his entire body.
“Sir, I was wrong!
I was really wrong!”
Brother Gou’s body trembled uncontrollably.
“Do you know why I’ve left you alive?”
Jiang Ning gazed down at him and spoke with cold detachment.
“I…
I know…
The Four Seas Gang’s headquarters is by the sea in Yicheng.
They control ten small fishing villages.”
Brother Gou said in a trembling voice.
“Very good.” Jiang Ning nodded and lightly patted Brother Gou’s head.
“You dared to harm my mother.
I can’t possibly leave you with an intact corpse.”
As soon as his words fell, Jiang Ning stepped onto his flying sword and shot up into the sky.
Almost as soon as Jiang Ning left, Long Changsheng and Chu Tianba rushed to the scene.
They had originally come to thank him.
But seeing the blood-soaked ground, and Brother Gou’s body dissolving into a bloody pulp from the head down, they couldn’t stop themselves from leaning against a wall and vomiting…
