With the force of heaven's own wrath, two punches stirred the surrounding gale into giant waves. The first fist shattered the legendary Green Dragon Saber outright, and the violent, tyrannical force invaded Qian Kunshan's body, causing him to instantly spit a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground, utterly deflated.
The second fist struck Titan's fist head-on!
Titan, renowned as the King of Strength, let out a miserable scream in that instant. His right fist, his right arm, his right shoulder—all of them were actually blasted to nothingness by a single punch from Di Longxuan!
Immediately following, Di Longxuan flicked out a wave of vital energy, and every elite, near and far, sprouted a bloody hole between their eyebrows, crashing to the ground with loud thuds and falling utterly still!
From start to finish, the clash lasted no more than three or four minutes, and nearly two hundred men were completely wiped out!
"Don't kill me, or the Big Boss will make you die an even more miserable death!! I'm one of the Big Boss's people!"
Seeing Di Longxuan walk toward him, Titan shouted in terror.
"I am a subordinate of the Gu Family, and the Gu Family is also under the Big Boss. If you dare to touch me, the Big Boss will never let you off lightly!!"
Qian Kunshan could not help roaring as well.
Di Longxuan's eyes narrowed instantly, his gaze turning bone-chillingly cold. "This Big Boss must be the mastermind who slaughtered the Di Family. Who on earth is he?"
"I don't know, don't ask me! I don't know..."
Titan shook his head in terror!
In front of the Big Boss, he was merely a dog; how could he dare betray him?
"I'll count to three. If you don't talk, you die!"
Di Longxuan said frigidly.
Yet just as he began his countdown, Titan... bang! He smashed his own skull to pieces with a single punch and committed suicide!
At this sight, Di Longxuan could not help being stunned!
He looked toward Qian Kunshan, who let out a miserable, shrill laugh. "You took the easy way out, Titan! What do you expect me to do? I don't dare talk either!"
The words fell!
Qian Kunshan struck his own forehead with a palm; naturally, he did not dare talk either.
Once he spoke, not only would he be killed by the Big Boss, but his family would be implicated as well!
The Big Boss's grim and ruthless reputation was known to all!
Yet at this critical juncture, Qian Kunshan's hand was grabbed by Di Longxuan!
"I didn't tell you to die, so how can you die? Tell me, who is the Big Boss?!"
Di Longxuan slammed a palm ruthlessly onto Qian Kunshan's chest.
The vital energy poured into every meridian of Qian Kunshan's body like fine needles, instantly causing him to howl in agony and shake violently all over.
Even so, Qian Kunshan gritted his teeth and said, "Give up, even if I die, I won't talk, because I... don't dare!"
As his voice fell, a crunching sound came from his mouth as a large flow of blood gushed out, and then he went completely still.
He had bitten his tongue and committed suicide!
Behind them, Yan Lingfei and Zhang Tailai, who had originally been gloating over others' misfortune, found themselves plunged into hell in the blink of an eye!
Now everyone else was dead, leaving only the two of them. Such a plight was something they never could have dreamed of.
"Now, the two of you, tell me who this so-called Big Boss is."
Di Longxuan looked toward the two of them with icy coldness.
Yan Lingfei shook wildly with fright. "I really don't know who the Big Boss is. It was always Titan the King of Strength who came to pass down orders. I'm not lying to you, don't kill me!"
"I don't know who the Big Boss is either. Everything we did was arranged by Titan the King of Strength, and the orders to murder you and the Di Family six years ago were also passed down by him! I'm innocent!"
Zhang Tailai also shouted in terror.
"In that case, the two of you have no value left to keep."
Di Longxuan flicked his sleeves, and two bursts of fist force blasted out murderously!
Amidst their miserable screams, Yan Lingfei and Zhang Tailai turned into two bloody mists and vanished without a trace. All old scores were completely settled!
At this sight, Gu Chengxiang was so terrified that he was already pissing and shitting himself!
"You should know who the Big Boss is, right?"
Di Longxuan looked toward him.
"I... I really don't know. It was always my father who communicated with the Big Boss alone. My Gu Family works for the Big Boss, but I've truly never seen the man!"
Gu Chengxiang trembled as he spoke.
"Not even a clue?"
Di Longxuan said coldly.
"Don't kill me, there is a clue! I once heard my father mention by chance that this Big Boss is a person of high and venerable status in the martial arts circles of the Hengjiang Region, with an extraordinary position, which is why my Gu Family was willing to serve him."
Gu Chengxiang hurried to say.
Hearing this, Di Longxuan asked no further. "Lead the way, take me to Yingying's hand!"
Looking at the corpses littering the ground, Gu Chengxiang did not dare to put up any further resistance and obediently led the way.
Soon they reached his so-called specimen gallery.
This was a detached small building constructed deep within the estate.
Upon entering, one was struck by a gloomy and eerie feeling! The lights inside were bright, yet a bizarre, chilling air circulated through the space.
Raising one's eyes to look, there were human organs—some withered, some soaked in water, and some frozen inside resin glass!
There were hands, feet, eyes, noses, teeth, as well as hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and stomachs...!
Right in the center stood a special specimen.
This specimen was placed under a beam of light, made of pure white and transparent resin, glowing with an exquisite and crystalline beauty under the illumination.
And the human specimen suspended within the resin was none other than a hand!
At a single glance, Di Longxuan felt as if his heart had been pierced viciously by an iron drill! A bone-deep pain spread through his entire body, leaving him struggling even to breathe!
For he recognized at a single glance that this was the hand of his younger sister, Di Yingying. On that hand was a very distinct scar.
That scar had been caused by hot oil when Di Yingying was making a bento for him back then...
"Yingying... Yingying... I'm sorry, Big Brother is late..."
Hard-hearted as iron though he was, tears burst from Di Longxuan's eyes!
With heavy steps, he walked toward the specimen.
Each step was difficult, each step brought excruciating pain, as scenes of his little sister played in his mind!
Following closely at his heels like an eager puppy when they were small, secretly hiding a piece of candy for him every time in kindergarten, helping him with his homework in elementary school...
Finally, Di Longxuan reached the specimen, pulled it into his embrace, and wept uncontrollably, an iron-willed warrior with tears and mucus streaming down his face!
Seeing this from behind, Gu Chengxiang did not dare make the slightest sound as he hurriedly crawled along the ground, trying to escape.
Yet in a flash, he was struck by a tyrannical burst of vital energy. Boom! He exploded into a sky full of blood droplets, vanishing without a trace, not even leaving scraps behind!
After weeping for more than half an hour, Di Longxuan finally stood up agonizingly, clutching the specimen of Di Yingying's hand to his chest.
"Sister, Big Brother is taking you home..."
***
The Di Family's once luxurious and massive mansion had been reduced to a heap of ruins following that slaughter and the raging fires.
For six years, no one had dared to claim this sprawling ruin.
Because rumors said the feng shui here was bad and evil ghosts haunted the place.
Entering the ruins of the mansion alone, Di Longxuan looked upon the dense weeds and dilapidated walls, his heart aching to the absolute extreme.
This was his home, the warmest place he had ever known.
And right in the middle of the courtyard ruins lay a cluster of graves, upon which stood no tombstones.
Di Longxuan swept his tear-filled eyes across these graves, his gaze gradually turning icy and terrifyingly grim!
Both fists were clenched so tightly they lost all color!!
"So, that so-called friend was not cleaning up the aftermath, collecting the corpses, and laying the Di Family to rest in peace... but rather suppressing and cursing my family with vicious malice!!"
At this moment, the fury within Di Longxuan erupted crazily, and a gale howled all around him!
Deafening thunder rumbled across the sky!!
To an ordinary person, it would naturally seem that the so-called friend of the Di Family had been exceedingly kind to them; when the Di Family was murdered by powerful foes, they had even dared to risk danger to collect the corpses and bury them.
Di Longxuan, too, had once felt gratitude in his heart toward this so-called friend of the Di Family.
Yet standing before these hundred-odd graves at this moment, he discovered that the arrangement of these mounds held another mystery entirely.
This was clearly an array!
His grandmaster, Li Tianyaonian, was an honorary elder of the Longhu Daoist Sect and excelled in numerous Daoist arts, the arrangement of arrays being one of them.
Li Tianyao had passed all his skills on to Di Longxuan.
With a single look, Di Longxuan recognized that the array formed by these graves was... the Ninefold Netherworld Soul-Suppression Grand Array!!
It suppressed wandering souls, preventing them from entering reincarnation! Imprisoned in this place for generation after generation!
Burning with rage, Di Longxuan walked over and kicked open one of the graves with a single blow!
It was completely empty; where were any bones?
Instead, there was only a jar.
The earthen jar was kicked open by Di Longxuan, and inside was dried blood!
This was black dog blood!
Di Longxuan then kicked open the graves at several other crucial positions.
Just as he had expected, inside were the blood of nine types of livestock required to set up the array, along with cinnabar! A peach-wood sword! A jade seal!
As for the corpses of the hundred-odd members of the Di Family, they had vanished without a trace!!
"I don't care who did this; even if they are gods or Buddhas, I, Di Longxuan, will grind their bones to dust and scatter their ashes!!"
The fury in Di Longxuan's heart burned with a madness a thousand times over!
Over a hundred members of his Di Family had been slaughtered! Burned!
Afterward, their bones had actually been hidden away, and the Ninefold Netherworld Soul-Suppression Grand Array had been set up right within their mansion!
Such methods were utterly devoid of human nature!!
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Red-eyed, Di Longxuan looked down; it was a call from Deputy Inspector Lin Nam.
Title: Chapter 14 The True Culminating Mastermind
At Di Longxuan's feet, the hard bluestone slabs instantly turned to fine powder!
"Tell me your location immediately!"
***
Inside Changhu Park beside Songshan Street, Lin Nam was covered in blood, leaning in terror against a large tree!
Before him stood thirty sturdy men wielding sabers.
The leader possessed a pair of triangular eyes and a vicious expression, nicknamed Crocodile; he was the second-in-command of the Blood Heaven Sect.
Holding a sharp blade, he stared chillingly at the blood-stained Lin Nam!
"Hand over the 198th case file right now, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, you won't even have an easy death tonight!"
"Scram! I am a deputy inspector of the police bureau. If you dare touch me, wait to eat bullets!"
Lin Nam roared.
"Shut your mouth. I've got over a hundred human lives on my hands; do I care about one more? Besides, once I kill you, a new deputy inspector will step up—who's going to avenge a cheap life like yours?"
Crocodile said coldly.
"My life is cheap, but this case file is what Di Longxuan wants! I advise you to give up. Di Longxuan is no longer some good-for-nothing playboy now. Do you want to die?!"
Lin Nam raged.
"Di Longxuan? Ha! Do you really think he can stir up any waves? Once my boss makes his move, he's a dead man. We just haven't had the spare hands to deal with him yet."
Crocodile said savagely, then gave a fierce wave of his hand.
Instantly, the thirty-odd sturdy subordinates behind him rushed toward Lin Nam in a swarm!
A chaotic melee broke out once more. Although Lin Nam possessed extraordinary skills, two fists could ultimately not match four hands, and he was soon beaten down to the ground!
A flurry of fists rained down upon his body, and countless boots kicked him in the head. Stricken with excruciating pain all over, his consciousness began to blur.
The file envelope he had kept clutched tightly against his chest was yanked away by Crocodile with brute force.
"Kill him and throw him in the lake, clean up properly!"
Crocodile snorted coldly.
At that moment, an ice-cold voice came from behind, "Fine, kill him and throw him in the lake. Such a sour, stinky piece of meat—fish will definitely love it and eat every bite clean."
Crocodile nodded, suddenly realizing something was wrong.
It was the first time he had ever heard a voice so cold.
The moment it entered his ears, goosebumps broke out all over his body!
"Who the hell are you? Don't talk right next to my ear so..."
Crocodile turned his head to curse irritably.
Before he could finish his words, however, came a crisp *crack*! Then blood spurted as his head was actually twisted clean off by the person behind him and tossed toward the lake!
His headless body collapsed to the ground, and the file envelope fell into the hands of the person behind him.
That person was none other than Di Longxuan, who had rushed over at top speed.
"Lord Di, save me, save me!!"
With his consciousness growing hazy, Lin Nam immediately cried out.
The remaining elites of the Blood Heaven Sect were then terrified to discover that their second-in-command, Crocodile, had had his head twisted right off and killed!!
"Who the hell are you? You dare kill the second-in-command—you're courting death!!"
Someone shouted blindly, and—boom! Every elite of the Blood Heaven Sect charged toward Di Longxuan with sabers drawn as if possessed!!
With Crocodile dead, if they failed to kill Di Longxuan, they would surely face severe punishment upon returning.
Di Longxuan stood indifferently in place, his gaze icy! His fists struck out like cannonballs leaving the barrel, smashing one man after another into bloody pulp with every punch!
The thirty-odd men rapidly dwindled!
At that moment, Di Longxuan suddenly whipped around and grabbed into the empty air!
*Whoosh!* A sniper bullet hurtling through the sky was caught right in his palm!
"Court death!"
Di Longxuan flicked his hand, and the bullet flew back like a thunderbolt across the sky!
Parked by the distant roadside was a black Jeep Wrangler. The sniper inside the window had no time to react before his head was blown apart by the bullet!
"What the fuck!! What kind of freakish strength is this? Run! Quick!!"
Sitting in the passenger seat was none other than the leader of the Blood Heaven Sect, Chen Haonan!
Originally, he had thought dealing with Lin Nam would be effortless—once the file was in hand, he could claim credit before the Big Boss.
He had never expected Di Longxuan to intercept them halfway!
Originally, he had thought a sniper rifle could drop Di Longxuan in one shot, giving him even more qualification to claim credit before the Big Boss.
He had never expected... Di Longxuan's strength far exceeded his estimation!
Catching a bullet mid-air and killing his heavily paid crack shot from afar.
This was no longer an entity Chen Haonan dared to provoke. Cold sweat pouring like rain from sheer terror, he only wanted to flee at once!
The Wrangler sped away. Chen Haonan's phone rang, transmitting a nervous voice from one of his subordinates!
"Boss, we got word—Titan the King of Strength has been killed! Qian Kunshan has been killed too! Both of them were murdered by that guy named Di Longxuan!"
"..."
Pale with fright, Chen Haonan roared, "Hurry, get out of Zhangtai City! I don't want to stay here anymore, it's too dangerous!"
He had been involved in the annihilation of the Di Family back then, and now he was truly terrified of being retaliated against by Di Longxuan.
Back in the park, Di Longxuan channeled a stream of true qi into Lin Nam's body.
He then shoved a medicinal pill into the man's mouth.
Only then did Lin Nam recover his strength and clear his head somewhat. "Many thanks to Lord Di for saving my life, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be a goner."
"The Blood Heaven Sect snatching this file means they must have been involved in the Di Family bloody massacre back then as well."
Di Longxuan said frigidly.
With that, he unsealed the file.
A total of ten pages.
Reading line by line with absolute focus, Di Longxuan began to radiate layer upon layer of murderous intent!
The temperature of the surrounding air plummeted drastically, and a layer of frost crept across the ground!
A total of one hundred and twenty-nine lives had been taken that night at the Di Family!
Including core members of the Di Family, as well as the bodyguards and servants within the mansion.
The fire had burned through the entire night, reducing many corpses to white bones and ashes beyond recognition.
The police bureau had conducted an investigation lasting a full month. Because the police chief at the time, Song Hai, had enjoyed deep ties of friendship with the Di Family, he had investigated the matter in extreme detail.
A total of eighteen factions surrounding Zhangtai City had participated in the slaughter and arson that night!
"Even the file didn't find out who the mastermind behind the scenes was?"
After finishing the documents, Di Longxuan asked with chilling coldness.
Lin Nam shook his head. "The investigation was headed by the former police chief Song Hai. Later on, Song Hai died in a car accident—he must have been backstabbed by the people behind the scenes."
Di Longxuan's gaze turned even colder by several degrees!
Cold enough to freeze the very heavens and earth!
"That car that fired the sneak shot just now—investigate it for me immediately. The person inside should be a high-ranking official of the Blood Heaven Sect."
Di Longxuan immediately commanded.
Nodding, Lin Nam hurried to execute the order.
A few minutes later, he reported back: "Lord Di, the car belongs to Chen Haonan, the leader of the Blood Heaven Sect. But roadside surveillance footage shows he has already fled Zhangtai City by car, presumably to hide out elsewhere."
"Damn it!"
Di Longxuan said coldly.
"I've read this file. The Di Family massacre back then was ordered by three major factions, but now Titan of the Canglang Society has been killed by you, Qian Kunshan of the Zetian Martial Alliance and the Gu Family have also been killed by you, and Chen Haonan of the Blood Heaven Sect has fled. That means the trail is broken."
Lin Nam frowned and said.
"There is still one clue!"
Di Longxuan said frigidly.
"What clue?"
Lin Nam asked curiously.
"The very end of the file says that the old master of the Ning Family secretly buried the hundred-odd members of the Di Family. Since he did this, then he is the clue!"
As Di Longxuan spoke, his gaze turned sharp and tyrannical!
Murderous intent boiled over his entire body!
He had never imagined that the person who had secretly buried the hundred-odd members of the Di Family within the ruins of their mansion was actually the old master of the Ning Family!!
In that case, was it that person who had secretly laid down the Ninefold Netherworld Soul-Suppression Grand Array?
If so, not only would he spare neither Old Master Ning, but neither the man's granddaughter Ning Tianqi nor his son Ning Jiuchuan would be spared either!!
"I'm going to the hospital. You take the file and investigate all eighteen factions mentioned on it that participated in the slaughter of the Di Family—I want all their data!"
Tossing the file to Lin Nam, Di Longxuan turned and strode away with a murderous aura.
Before long, he arrived at the hospital!
Title: Chapter 15 Do You Take Me for a Vegetarian?
Inside Di Xiaoguo's hospital ward, Ning Tianqi and her father Ning Jiuchuan sat on the sofa.
Beside them were also a middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious suit and an extremely wealthy-looking, gorgeously decked-out matron.
These two were Ning Jiuchuan's second younger brother, Ning Guangsheng, and his third younger sister, Ning Shengzhi.
"Tianqi, you are truly too naive. Di Longxuan is a murdering demon now; how could he possibly help you save Old Master? He's definitely plotting against the Ning Family's wealth, or your beauty!"
Ning Shengzhi said angrily.
"He even slaughtered his former girlfriend Yan Lingfei and the entire Li Family. Who dares believe the words of a person like that?"
Ning Guangsheng glared.
Hearing this, Ning Jiuchuan felt a lingering fear as well. "Sigh, we were rash, wasting a nine-foot-tall grass ginseng for nothing. We shouldn't have any connection with Di Longxuan at all, otherwise we're bound to be implicated by him!"
Ning Tianqi wore a look of grievance.
Her lips poked out high.
"Dad, Second Uncle, Third Aunt, stop talking. I don't believe Di Longxuan is that kind of person; he will definitely save Grandpa."
"You're too naive. A playboy who goes out for a few years can come back and become a miraculous doctor?? Novels wouldn't dare write it like that, and movies wouldn't dare edit and film such nonsense."
Ning Shengzhi said coldly.
Just at that moment, the door was pushed open, and Di Longxuan walked in.
With an icy gaze, he swept his eyes across the four of them.
Then he walked straight to Di Xiaoguo's bedside.
"I heard everything you said. If you don't trust me, you can leave. I used the nine-foot-tall grass ginseng; you can name your price, and I'll pay for it."
At these words, the four members of the Ning family were instantly stunned.
None of them had expected Di Longxuan to be so blunt!
