Before he could finish, Zhang Song grabbed him by the hair and slammed his head violently against the table!
A porcelain plate shattered. Sun Hui’s face was covered in blood, and he shook uncontrollably. "Boss Zhang, I don't want the money anymore! Please, have mercy on me! I shouldn't have spoken out of turn!"
"It’s an honor for you that I eat your food. What money are you asking for? I’m having a great time drinking today, but I’m missing someone to pour my drinks. I see your daughter helping out in the back—bring her over here to dance a striptease for me!" Zhang Song roared, his eyes bulging with malice.
He kicked Sun Hui to the ground. Sun Hui tried to scramble up, but Zhang Song pinned him down with his foot. "Call your daughter over here! Or you die!"
Sun Hui wept in terror. He could lose his business, but he couldn't let his daughter be dragged into this. He simply couldn't do it.
However, his daughter, Sun Yingying, had already walked over with tears streaming down her face. "Boss Zhang, please, spare my father! I... I’ll dance for you. I’ll dance..."
"Haha, not bad, little girl. You’re truly fresh. Let big brother feel how well you've grown, haha!" Reeking of alcohol, Zhang Song stood up and walked toward Sun Yingying.
Sun Yingying trembled violently, tears rolling down her cheeks, but she dared not run. She didn't want her father to be beaten.
Zhang Song reached her in moments and blew a puff of air onto her fair cheek. "Not bad, not bad. The more I look, the more I like it, haha!" He reached out to grope inside Sun Yingying’s collar!
The people around them looked on, furious but terrified to speak. Sun Hui let out an enraged roar, "Let go of my daughter, you beast!" But he couldn't move; Zhang Song's henchmen had him pinned to the floor, holding down his limbs.
Sun Yingying’s face turned deathly pale, and she squeezed her eyes shut, on the verge of fainting. Just then, a scream rang out in her ears!
It was a scream from the Axe Gang leader, Zhang Song!
She hurriedly opened her eyes and saw the cold, resolute face of a man standing before her!
Indifferent! Arrogant! Dominating!
A sense of overwhelming disdain, as if he viewed all living things as mere ants, exploded into the air. It was so intense that Sun Yingying felt an involuntary urge to bow down before him!
"From this moment on, you will pay the debt for every evil thing you have done!"
Di Longxuan said coldly, and—*splat!*—he ripped off Zhang Song’s entire right arm!
Zhang Song howled in agony, his eyes bloodshot. "Kill him! Hurry!! I want him ground into pulp!!"
Twenty henchmen charged forward with blades in hand. The scene dissolved into utter chaos!
Sun Hui scrambled up, grabbed his daughter, and rushed back into the shop to hide. Sun Yingying leaned against the windowsill, watching in horror, witnessing a sight she would never forget for the rest of her life!
The tall, dominating man struck out punch after punch! He blasted the vicious, despicable Axe Gang members into mists of blood! A rain of gore!
Not even scraps were left!
Twenty men, twenty punches!
Soon, only the armless Zhang Song remained.
Zhang Song was paralyzed on the ground, terrified to his core. "Who are you? I surrender! I’ll give you everything I have, please, just spare me!"
"My surname is Di. You should know why I’m looking for you by now, shouldn't you?"
Di Longxuan raised his hand and struck Zhang Song’s chest!
A massive, frigid energy instantly burrowed into Zhang Song’s organs, causing him to shiver uncontrollably as white frost crystals formed on his hair and beard!
"You are now afflicted with cold poison. In the Hengjiang Region, only Nan Tianxiong can save you, as he practices the Red Sun Divine Art. If you don't want to die, go find him!"
Di Longxuan turned and walked away.
Lin Nan, standing behind, was already stunned into a stupor! The Axe Gang, notorious for their brutality and feared even by the authorities, had their entire leadership wiped out in the blink of an eye...
Sun Yingying was as shocked as a statue, the same question echoing in her mind: *Who is he? So powerful...*
***
Ten minutes later, Di Longxuan arrived at a karaoke lounge.
In a luxurious gold-themed suite, members of the Blood Wolf Alliance were drinking and singing. The women in the dance hall swayed their bodies, their mouths curved in smiles, but their eyes were swollen red, tears falling continuously.
"Tastes good! These college students are truly spicy! Let's stay right here and have our fill!" A bald man in the center, wearing a thick gold chain, roared ferociously! He was as excited as a wild tiger.
The six college students forced to dance wept even harder at his words, yet they were compelled to keep smiles on their faces.
But the next moment—*BOOM!*
The sturdy steel door of the suite was kicked to pieces!
A tall, imposing man walked in with a frigid expression, heading straight for the bald boss.
"Who the hell are you? Kill him!" the bald man shouted in a rage.
His henchmen immediately rushed forward, but before they could even get close, they turned into mists of blood without the man even appearing to strike!
Human annihilation!
The bald man, seeing this, knelt on the ground, his legs turning to jelly. "Senior! I am trash! I don't know how I offended you, but tell me and I will surely change! I’m willing to give you everything! Please don't kill me!"
"My surname is Di. You should know very well what you did to the Di Family, shouldn't you?"
Di Longxuan struck down with his palm!
The bald man screamed as his entire head was covered in thick, icy frost! He howled in pain, rolling on the floor!
"Go find Nan Tianxiong to save you. Only his Red Sun Divine Art can dissolve this cold poison."
Dropping this final sentence, Di Longxuan turned and left.
In one day, six factions and thirteen leaders had all been struck by Di Longxuan’s cold poison, left in excruciating agony!
Lin Nan followed behind, his heart pounding. Soon after, news arrived that all thirteen leaders had headed toward Tianjiang City in their desperate search for relief.
Tianjiang City was a historic, economically prosperous city within the Hengjiang Region, and that was exactly where Nan Tianxiong resided!
After finishing all of this, Di Longxuan made a phone call!
He had forced this number out of Taoist Yunlong. The ashes of the hundred-plus members of the Di Family were in the hands of the person on the other end!
Years ago, Taoist Yunlong had deceived Ning Haikun, using the excuse of resolving resentment to set up the Nine Evil Soul-Suppressing Array, while simultaneously stealing the ashes of over a hundred Di family members.
He had originally intended to discard the ashes.
But somehow, word leaked out, and a mysterious person bought them. As for who that person was, Taoist Yunlong did not know. The other party had simply called, transferred three million, and bought the ashes. Both sides agreed to keep it secret, as anyone who spoke of it would bring disaster upon themselves and suffer a miserable death!
*Beep... beep...*
Someone answered!
"Who are you?" A cold, feminine voice came through.
"My surname is Di. I don't care who you are or what your purpose was in buying the ashes of the Di family. Return them to me now, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"
Di Longxuan’s voice was so cold it seemed capable of freezing the person on the other end through the telecommunications network!
"Are you... Di Longxuan?! You’re not dead?!" The person on the other end sounded shocked!
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
Di Longxuan finally sensed a trace of familiarity in her voice.
"It’s me, Liu Jiangxue! Have you forgotten me?"
"It’s actually you!"
***
Half an hour later, Di Longxuan arrived by car at the Taiyi Tea Garden on the outskirts of the city.
Stepping out, he saw a woman standing at the entrance.
She was tall and graceful, wearing a pure white dress with her dark hair draped over her shoulders. She held a black parasol. As the mountain breeze blew, her hair and dress fluttered, leaving Di Longxuan momentarily distracted.
It was as if he had returned to his carefree college days.
Youthful, vibrant, and high-spirited.
Liu Jiangxue was Di Longxuan’s college classmate. They had been extremely close, often hanging out together, and Di Longxuan had even adopted her as his sworn younger sister.
At the time, he hadn't realized she liked him. It wasn't until the graduation party, when she sang "I'm So Happy to Fall in Love With You," that he realized this "sister" had been secretly in love with him all along.
But by then, he was already with Yan Lingfei.
Neither of them had ever broached the subject. Later, Liu Jiangxue went abroad to study, and they lost contact.
Recalling the details, it had been eight years since they last met.
"Brother Xuan... You’ve changed quite a bit." Liu Jiangxue approached, her face slightly flushed as she smiled shyly. Her autumn-water eyes gazed at Di Longxuan with delight.
"No matter how much I change, I’m still your brother. When did you return to Zhangtai City?" Di Longxuan asked with a smile.
"Actually... I only stayed abroad for a year. I didn't dare disturb you when I returned. You and Yan Lingfei were always together back then, and it made me uncomfortable. I had already realized she was manipulative, but I couldn't convince you to break up with her." Liu Jiangxue lowered her head, falling silent.
"It’s all in the past. Is this your family’s tea garden? Let’s talk as we walk." Di Longxuan changed the subject.
Yan Lingfei was indeed detestable, but he blamed himself for being blind back then. Seeing Liu Jiangxue again, he finally understood what a beautiful relationship he had missed.
The Liu family operated a tea business and was considered a low-profile wealthy family in Zhangtai City. There were many tea gardens in the area, and Liu Jiangxue worked there.
Before they could even reach the topic of the Di family ashes, a muscular man strode toward them! He stopped in front of them and stared coldly at Di Longxuan.
"Miss Liu, my young master has been waiting for ages and you haven't come over. Could it be that chatting with a low-life mongrel is really that interesting?"
Without waiting for Liu Jiangxue to reply, he kicked out, aiming straight for Di Longxuan’s chest!
