"At Yokohama Hospital, a private hospital belonging to the Li Family. He has been recovering there ever since his kidney transplant, and looks like he's being discharged today..." Zhang Tailai said in terror.
Di Longxuan grabbed him and flung him to the ground, then strode toward the exit!
By this point, Yan Lingfei and Zhang Tailai had passed out from the excruciating pain. As for the guests remaining in the banquet hall, each and every one of them felt as though they had just made a trip through the gates of hell!
They all sensed that a storm of blood and slaughter was about to break out in Zhangtai City!
***
Inside Yokohama Hospital.
Li Tianyi had changed into an expensive custom-made suit and put on a limited-edition Patek Philippe watch. His hair was combed meticulously, and he looked full of vitality and vigor.
Even though he was the only son of the wealthy Li Family, poor kidney function had made him a sickly weakling since childhood, the subject of gossip behind his back.
Fortunately, his bad friend Zhang Tailai had snatched a young girl whose kidney happened to be a matching donor for him.
Three months had passed since Li Tianyi's kidney transplant surgery, and today was the day of his discharge.
He wanted to walk out radiant and glowing, so that all the members of the Li Family, as well as the upper-class figures of Zhangtai City, could clearly see that he was a normal man now!
"Tell Zhang Tailai to make sure that little brat is killed, burned to ashes, and scattered to the winds. If outsiders find out I had a transplant with the kidney of some little bastard, it will affect my reputation."
"I heard that little bastard was even Di Longxuan's adopted daughter. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. Later on, go get a few buckets of black dog blood and splash them over Di Longxuan's grave, lest it ruin my luck." Li Tianyi ordered with a dark expression.
Behind him, a tough-looking man in a white shirt immediately nodded. "Yes, Young Master, I've got it all memorized!"
At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside. Soon, the door to the ward was pushed open, and twenty or thirty core members of the Li Family swarmed in with faces full of festive joy.
"Eldest Young Master, congratulations on your discharge! You really look full of vigor!"
"One can tell at a glance that Tianyi is bursting with dragon-like vitality—you look like a completely different person!"
"This is truly a cause for double celebration! It's a blessing for the Li Family!"
Amidst the chorus of eager congratulations, the exquisitely dressed Li Tianyi smiled and greeted everyone.
A rapid succession of ceremonial salutes rang out downstairs! Even though it was daytime, loud fireworks were being set off!
Everything signaled that Li Tianyi was about to embark on a new chapter in his life, but right at that moment, an untimely voice suddenly rang out!
"Li Tianyi, I've come to take a kidney from you!"
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The members of the Li Family couldn't help drawing in cold breaths, turning around in stunned shock!
Li Tianyi's face turned icy cold. "Who's farting around? Kill him and throw him out!"
Today was the joyous day of his discharge; anyone who dared to displease him would die!
At the doorway, eight elite Martial Disciples of the Li Family instantly surrounded Di Longxuan, who had uttered such wild words. Without a moment's hesitation, they threw punches fiercely aimed at his vital spots!
Yet before those shadows of fists could even land on Di Longxuan, those eight men all—
Their bodies burst apart, turning into bloody mists!
"Behave yourselves, all of you, and don't disturb my daughter's sleep!"
Holding Di Xiaoguo in his arms, Di Longxuan walked slowly out from the bloody mist, looking like a fiend from hell!
Following his words, an overwhelming pressure—like a towering mountain bearing down from above—descended with a crash, filling the entire spacious ward!
It felt as though all the air had been squeezed out, creating a strange, suffocating sensation!
Under this immense pressure, everyone from the Li Family dropped to their knees and slumped to the floor with loud thuds, struggling to breathe, their bones aching with agonizing pain, cold sweat pouring down like rain!
Not a single person dared to move again, or utter another word!
As for Li Tianyi, he became the only one whom Di Longxuan spared.
He stared in shock at Di Longxuan approaching him, his eyes widening to their absolute limits!
"You—you're Di Longxuan?! Weren't you dead?! Impossible! Are you a ghost?!"
"Whether I'm a ghost or not doesn't matter. What matters is that you'll be going to the netherworld to see ghosts very soon. Now, give my daughter's kidney back!"
With that, Di Longxuan grabbed a handful of Li Tianyi's meticulously combed hair!
He hoisted him straight up into the air, dangling him off the ground!
Li Tianyi instantly shrieked in agony as his scalp was torn open and peeled back, blood flowing in torrents all over his head!
***
Seeing Li Tianyi subjected to such brutal torture, the members of the Li Family were terrified to the extreme!
Today, the head of the Li Family had not come because he was negotiating a major business deal in the Capital.
If anything happened to Li Tianyi right in front of this group of Li family members, the family head would punish and vent his wrath on all of them!
"Di Longxuan, didn't I just use a cheap kidney from that little bastard?! Do you have to risk your life and fight me to the death over this?!" Li Tianyi roared frantically through his pain!
"A cheap kidney?"
Hearing this, Di Longxuan raised his hand and slapped him!
Wham! Half of Li Tianyi's face was reduced to mangled flesh! The immense pain instantly engulfed Li Tianyi, causing his entire body to shake violently!
Nearby, his second uncle, Li Zhenhao, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
"Di Longxuan, since Tianyi has already used that little bastard's kidney, the worst we can do is give you some compensation! Aren't you just here to make a scene and demand compensation?!"
"Our Li Family isn't short on money, so stop throwing a tantrum here! How about a million? Even if that little bastard died, she'd only be worth twenty thousand at most—a million means you're making a profit!"
The tall third uncle, Li Zhenze, also rushed over with a righteous expression of indignation.
"Di Longxuan, you're no longer the young master of the Di Family you used to be! Now, if you obediently toe the line, our Li Family can bestow a job upon you—at least you'll be able to afford a meal!"
The heavily made-up fourth aunt, Li Wenwen, also walked over and said with a sarcastic sneer.
"A homeless nobody, and you really think you can go up against the Li Family?"
"If the Li Family really makes a move against you, you won't even know how you died!"
"A brainless mad dog! Why don't you hurry up and let the young master go?!"
The rest of the terrified Li family members now straightened their postures, turning arrogant and overbearing once again!
The Di Family was gone; as core members of the wealthy Li Family, why should they be afraid of a stray dog?
"You're right. Human lives aren't worth all that much."
Di Longxuan suddenly smiled.
He dropped Li Tianyi onto the floor and looked at the third uncle, Li Zhenze, who had just offered a million.
Li Zhenze immediately pulled out his checkbook, scribbled a check with a rustling sound, and tossed it to Di Longxuan. "Here, exactly one million! Don't say I'm stingy—take your money and get lost!"
"You might have misunderstood. I just think your dog's life is only worth one coin."
As soon as Di Longxuan finished speaking, his expression turned icy cold!
He slammed a coin into Li Zhenze's hand, and then brought his palm crashing down onto Li Zhenze's head.
Before the pathetic Li Zhenze could even react—boom!—he dissolved into a rain of blood and vanished without a trace!
Beside him, Li Zhenhao was so terrified that he collapsed onto the floor with a thud. "You—how could you dare kill my third brother?! You'll come to a bad end!"
"I didn't say you couldn't kill me. Go ahead and try." Di Longxuan said coldly.
Then he kicked out twice! Bang, bang!! The sound of balloons bursting rang out!
"You said Li Tianyi only took one of Xiaoguo's kidneys. Now I've just kicked both of your kidneys to pieces. What kind of compensation do you want?"
Di Longxuan bent down, his gaze as cold as two blades!
"Ah!! My—my kidneys!"
Li Zhenhao's eyes bulged until they cracked, bleeding profusely. His mouth gaped wide open in an exaggerated fashion as he wailed miserably, rolling around on the ground in agony!
When the fourth aunt, Li Wenwen, saw this, she was so scared she pissed her pants!
"I didn't say anything! I apologize, I'll get lost right now, don't touch me!"
She turned to flee, but Di Longxuan reached out, grabbed her by the hair, and yanked her back to his side.
"What are you running for? Weren't you just going to introduce me to a job? How should I thank you?"
With that, Di Longxuan flung Li Wenwen away with a wave of his hand!
Thud! The usually haughty and overbearing society matron Li Wenwen was enveloped by a tremendous force and slammed ruthlessly against the wall, screaming as she burst into a pool of bloody water!
"As for the rest of you, you were right too: I am a mad dog, a homeless nobody. But I'm sorry, in front of a homeless mad dog like me, you lot aren't even as good as dogs!"
With that, Di Longxuan threw a punch, which burst into hundreds of fist shadows!
In an instant, the entire hallway was filled with screams, howls, and shrill cries of agony! Not a single intact member of the Li Family remained!
Either missing arms and legs, or with their stomachs and chests blown open, their heads gone...
Amidst the pungent, nauseating filth of flesh and blood, Di Longxuan carried Xiaoguo in one arm and used his foot to kick the terrified, unconscious Li Tianyi back into the ward.
Further down the corridor, the dozen or so hospital specialists who had originally come to celebrate Li Tianyi's discharge were already scared out of their wits!
"I don't like joking, and I don't like talking nonsense."
"Right now, immediately arrange a kidney transplant surgery for my daughter and return Li Tianyi's kidney to her!"
"Whoever dares to dawdle, whoever dares to slack off—dies!" Di Longxuan said grimly.
"Ah... You're going to carve out Young Master Li's kidney?! I—I don't dare! The head of the Li Family will kill me..." Director Sun Tingyue screamed in terror.
"Then aren't you afraid of me?"
Di Longxuan threw a punch—boom!
Sun Tingyue turned into a bloody mist, splattering across the rest of the specialists!
Everyone shook violently with fear! Like ants struggling in the midst of a massive torrential rainstorm, they no longer dared to utter a word of nonsense, nor did they dare to refuse.
A kidney transplant surgery was swiftly set into motion!
Inside the operating room, Di Longxuan channeled a dozen streams of true qi into Xiaoguo's body, protecting her meridians and the vital life force of her heart.
This would ensure she didn't suffer any drastic fluctuations in her vital signs.
Then, the surgery began immediately.
Li Tianyi's waist was sliced open with a scalpel, and a crimson kidney was extracted. All the specialists were sweating profusely from fear, yet they didn't dare to offer the slightest protest.
Because Di Longxuan was standing right beside them, his eyes fixed on everyone.
Whoever dared to show even a shred of defiance would likely be turned into a bloody mist on the spot!
The scene of the brutal massacre of the Li family members in the hallway was captured on camera by hospital staff and swiftly reported upward.
Li Wanxiong, who was already on a plane returning to Zhangtai City, received his subordinate's call.
Exhausted, he was lounging lazily on the custom-made, oversized bed of his private plane, with two gorgeous women in sheer silk nighties massaging him on either side.
"What is it?"
"Family Head... The Young Master has been—his face has been beaten to a pulp, and he's tied to an operating table, being forcibly stripped of his left kidney!"
A trembling, panicked voice came through.
In an instant, Li Wanxiong's eyes bulged wide open!
"Are you talking nonsense?! Who dares to lay a hand on Li Wanxiong's son?!"
"How would I dare deceive you? Everything I'm saying is happening right now, please do something about it!" the subordinate shivered as he spoke.
"Bastard!! Who dares to brutalize my son like this? Quickly tell Second and Third to handle it!! I want this person to wish they were dead!"
Li Wanxiong's eyes looked as though he wanted to devour someone alive!
Li Tianyi was his only son; the few illegitimate children he had afterward were all daughters.
Since childhood, Li Tianyi had suffered from a congenital deficiency in one kidney, which left him sickly. After the kidney transplant, he had gradually recovered his health, making Li Wanxiong extremely happy—yet who would have thought!
Someone actually dared to carve that kidney out again!
"Reporting to Master, it's the young master of the Di Family, Di Longxuan. He apparently didn't die; he's reappeared in Zhangtai City, and the kidney the young master transplanted happens to belong to his adopted daughter."
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle... have all been killed by Di Longxuan, and Fourth Aunt has been killed too... The methods are utterly brutal! Master!! You must hurry and avenge the Li Family!"
The subordinate burst into loud sobs as he spoke.
Ah, ah, ah!!! Upon hearing this, Li Wanxiong roared in fury!
As a first-tier wealthy family in Zhangtai City, when had the Li Family ever been so humiliated and trampled upon?!
His second brother, third brother, and fourth sister had all been killed! His son's face had been beaten to a pulp! And his kidney was about to be harvested!
Did they take the Li Family for pigs and dogs to be slaughtered at will?!
"Issue the clan decree immediately! Order all subordinate forces of the Li Family, as well as all top-tier powers around Zhangtai City, to strike and kill Di Longxuan immediately!"
"Whoever brings me his head, I'll give them one hundred million!"
Li Wanxiong's furious roar echoed violently through the ten-thousand-meter-high altitude!
The murderous intent boiled, churning the sea of clouds!
***
Soon, phone calls were made one after another from the Li Family mansion!
Major top-tier powers throughout Zhangtai City received the news in a short span of time.
One hundred million was enough to make anyone go crazy!
Not to mention, killing a stray dog of the Di Family also meant currying favor with the wealthy Li Family!
Inside the hospital.
The complex surgery proceeded intensively. The specialists concentrated all their energy, not daring to slack off even a fraction.
Di Longxuan stood to the side, closely monitoring the fluctuations in Xiaoguo's vital life force.
At the slightest hint of danger, he would immediately channel a stream of true qi into her.
As for Li Tianyi on the neighboring bed, he was already on his last breath, but Di Longxuan didn't even spare him a glance.
"Di... Longxuan, I've already given the kidney back to that little bastard. If I die, don't even think about living... Save me now, and I'm willing to give you ten million..."
Li Tianyi's face was incomparably pale, his voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
Yet before his voice even trailed off!
Di Longxuan walked over, thud!
With a single slap, he battered Li Tianyi into a paste of flesh and mud!
The specialists performing the surgery trembled violently from fright, even more afraid to harbor any secondary thoughts, and sped up the progress of the operation.
At the hospital entrance, car after car sped up and screeched to a halt!
Figures that were either fierce, rugged, or robust poured into the hospital like madmen, rushing toward the top-floor operating room!
None of them wanted Di Longxuan's head to be snatched away by someone else.
That was one hundred million!
Di Longxuan, whose spiritual perception was already spread wide, quickly detected a series of footsteps rushing toward the operating room.
"Continue the surgery. No matter what happens outside, don't stop. If anything happens to my daughter, all of you will pay with your lives, and your families will pay with their lives too. I am not joking."
With that, Di Longxuan pushed open the operating room door and walked out.
The specialists trembled in terror, hurriedly continuing the procedure.
The sealed operating room and soundproofing materials blocked out the chaotic noise in the corridor outside!
The spacious, brightly lit thirty-meter hallway was already jammed with top-tier experts of all stripes!
Even the stairwells were packed with people!
Many of these people recognized Di Longxuan. After all, as the former young master of the wealthy Di Family, who in Zhangtai City's top circles hadn't seen him?
When they saw him before, it was with flattery and obsequiousness.
Now that they saw him, it was as if they were looking at a hundred million!
"Kill! Go on, kill him!"
An aged, shrill voice rang out at the top of its lungs.
This person was none other than Zhou Bei, the old housekeeper of the Li Family!
He had been ordered to command this crowd to kill Di Longxuan and rescue the eldest young master, Li Tianyi!
All the top-tier experts completely discarded any pretense of elegance or manners; driven mad by the hundred million, they surged toward Di Longxuan like a tidal wave!
They wielded swords and sabers, concealed firearms, daggers, crossbows, and stun batons!
Not a single person believed Di Longxuan could survive this ordeal; their only concern was that they might not get to claim his head.
Faced with the pitch-black, overwhelming crowd pressing down upon him and the deafening battle cries, Di Longxuan's eyes instantly turned bloodred!
He thought of that immensely cruel night hundreds of intruders broke into the Di Family to stage a mad slaughter! Blood had flowed like a river, the heads of his family members rolled everywhere, and severed limbs and shattered flesh splattered across his face!
Ah!!! Di Longxuan was consumed by a burning rage that pierced his heart!
There couldn't possibly be any single power in all of Zhangtai City capable of mobilizing so many experts to annihilate the Di Family.
The only explanation was that the majority of powers in and around Zhangtai City had participated in the massacre of the Di Family that night.
The vast majority of the people before him right now must have been present that night!
"Longxuan, run! Don't worry about me, Mom won't make it—I won't be able to accompany you to get married and have children..."
"Brother!! Ah, I'm going to die, Brother, see you in the next life..."
"Longxuan, hurry to the secret passage, you must avenge us! Dad can't protect you anymore, you have to take care of yourself!"
Voices carved deep into his memories battered against Di Longxuan's chest!
The Vermilion Bird divine blood inside him began to boil! His Xuanwu physical body lit up with a dark golden light! The Azure Dragon root-bones tightened like a drawn bow of slaughter!
Finally, the White Tiger killing heart thumped, thumped, thumped—beating wildly!
His Second Master had told him that in this world, kindness and tolerance could never trade for equality and respect; what they traded for were merely bullying and coldness!
Only through slaughter—by killing all injustices and enemies—could one use slaughter to curb slaughter, and show everyone that he was not someone to be trifled with!
Only then would equality and respect emerge!
"Since you've all delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I, Di Longxuan, will gladly accept!"
Amidst a heaven-shaking roar, Di Longxuan clenched his fists and charged straight into the overwhelming crowd rushing toward him!
The killing fist techniques taught to him by his Second Master, Xu Bingqing, were fierce as a tiger, ruthless and overbearing! Combined with his White Tiger killing heart at this moment, they turned him into a true bloodthirsty beast.
Crack, shattering a bald man's windpipe! Thud, blowing up a burly man's head! Boom, directly turning a female assassin into a bloody mist!
Not a single person was qualified to exchange blows with Di Longxuan.
Every strike from Di Longxuan meant a rain of blood! A mist of blood! A forfeited life!
The hundred-odd people in the hallway dwindled at a frenzied pace! Corpses and severed limbs piled layer upon layer across the floor! Blood converged in gurgling streams, flowing toward the stairwell!
Yet the crowd crammed inside the stairwell had no idea what was happening in the corridor, all anxious that they wouldn't get a chance to claim Di Longxuan's head.
Who would have thought that in a mere three minutes, Di Longxuan would charge right into the stairwell? This crowd instantly surged forward, thinking great fortune had fallen upon them!
They rushed frantically toward Di Longxuan.
Di Longxuan's killing fists grew even fiercer, striking from top to bottom—one by one! Layer by layer! Kill, kill, kill!
The hatred of his family being slaughtered that night erupted madly at this moment! All his killing techniques! His murderous intent! His desire to kill! He no longer suppressed any of it!!
From the tenth floor, Di Longxuan quickly slaughtered his way down to the sixth!
The fourth floor!!
The second floor!!
The first floor!!
Every single floor was stained with fresh blood and littered with corpses!
When Di Longxuan appeared on the ground floor, the remaining dozen or so people were scared out of their wits, looking at him as if he were a true demon, no longer daring to move.
Di Longxuan threw a single punch! Those dozen-odd people instantly turned into a bloody mist and vanished without a trace!
At the same time, Li Wanxiong had rushed urgently to the scene. Bursting into the hospital lobby, he roared, "Where are they? Drag Di Longxuan's corpse over to me right now, I'm going to chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"
Seeing Di Longxuan walking toward him covered in blood, he assumed it was one of his own men and angrily scolded, "Didn't you hear my words? Hurry up and get over there to find Di Longxuan's corpse!"
"Where is my son Li Tianyi, tell me right now!!"
Yet the moment he finished speaking, both of his legs were snapped by kicks from the approaching Di Longxuan!
He collapsed flat onto the ground as blood gushed out profusely!
