Lin Pingfan did not care at all about the shock and disbelief of the bystanders.
This wheelchair had bound him for a full five years.
He did not want to sit in a wheelchair all day either.
But Old Ghost told him that if he wanted to find the person behind the destruction of the Lin Family back then, he had to keep sitting in the wheelchair.
Until the time was right to stand up from it.
Today, he abandoned the wheelchair.
Old Ghost told him the time was right.
Perhaps before long, some truth would surface.
"Damn it, played for a fool by a little brat! What do you think you are? Even if your legs weren't crippled, crushing you to death would be a piece of cake!"
"Men, take him down!"
Suddenly, Liu Changqing roared with a gloomy expression as he watched his own son get beaten right before his eyes.
How could he possibly endure this?!
At his command, the thugs in the hall abruptly drew gleaming daggers from inside their clothes and swarmed toward Lin Pingfan!
Lin Pingfan did not panic, his expression remaining calm and detached.
A cold gleam flickered in his eyes.
With a flash of his figure, he appeared right in front of Liu Changqing in the blink of an eye!
His speed was simply too fast.
Eluding the capture of everyone's gaze.
That agile physique was even nimbler than those of the high-level bodyguards!
At this moment, Liu Changqing's expression instantly froze!
Before he could even see what was happening, Lin Pingfan was already standing right in front of him.
Lin Pingfan narrowed his eyes, raised his palm, and pressed it against Liu Changqing's face.
Then he pushed down hard!
With a loud bang!
Liu Changqing's head smashed fiercely into the coffee table below, shattering it instantly and sending countless fragments flying!
Blood streamed from Liu Changqing's head as he screamed in agony, struggling and rolling on the ground.
"Your left hand grabbed my wife."
A cold flash crossed Lin Pingfan's eyes.
He abruptly raised his foot and brought it down viciously on Liu Changqing's left hand.
Crack.
The bones in the hand shattered instantly!
"Your right hand tore my wife's clothes."
He raised his foot once more and stomped down fiercely.
Liu Changqing's right hand was instantly ruined.
"And your two legs defiled my wife."
Lin Pingfan spoke in a calm tone, but his ruthless actions had thoroughly terrified everyone present.
Those thugs did not dare to step forward at all. They swallowed hard, looking at Lin Pingfan with terror, as if they were gazing at a god of slaughter.
With a blank expression, Lin Pingfan raised his foot again, this time aiming at Liu Changqing's right leg.
Wherever he had defiled Ye Yaxin's body, Lin Pingfan would make him pay back double!
Although he had no emotional attachment to Ye Yaxin and everything had happened under compulsion,
after all, they had obtained their marriage certificate!
Therefore, he would fulfill the responsibilities of a man.
"Lin Pingfan, stop right there!"
Before Lin Pingfan's foot could come down, Shangguan Yunyu's stern voice rang out abruptly.
The next moment, Shangguan Yunyu flashed forward and blocked the way in front of Liu Changqing.
Shock flashed in her eyes, yet her expression was intensely gloomy.
"Lin Pingfan, do you have any idea what you're doing?!"
"You've just been released from prison, do you intend to keep breaking the law and committing crimes?!"
"Besides, Liu Changqing holds immense prestige in Haizhou City. If you go too far, have you ever considered the consequences?!"
Faced with Shangguan Yunyu's words, Lin Pingfan let out a cold snort.
"When Liu Haotian tried to kill me just now, why didn't you stop him?!"
Lin Pingfan did not waste words on other nonsense, cutting straight to the core of the matter.
At that moment, Shangguan Yunyu froze in place once again. Her expression turned somewhat unnatural, and her teeth bit down on her lips until they turned pale.
The reason she chose not to save Lin Pingfan earlier was to teach this stubborn-mouthed man a lesson.
And the reason she was saving Liu Changqing now was because Liu Changqing was a man of extraordinary fame in Haizhou City and could not afford to meet with any mishaps!
"Is it because I, Lin Pingfan, have neither money nor power?!"
Immediately after, Lin Pingfan provided his own answer.
"Because I, Lin Pingfan, lack money and power, I am free to be slaughtered by them."
"Yet I am not even allowed to fight back and kill in self-defense."
"Commander Shangguan, what a brilliant logic."
Lin Pingfan chuckled softly, completely concealing any trace of emotion on his face.
"However, since the female God of War of Yanxia has stepped forward, I will spare him this time."
"If the Liu Family dares to come looking for trouble with me or the Ye Family again, don't blame me for being discourteous!"
Lin Pingfan put away his smile and turned to leave, casually picking up the wheelchair that had accompanied him for five years.
"Lin Pingfan! Halt right there!"
Suddenly, Shangguan Yunyu called out to stop Lin Pingfan.
"Your legs were perfectly fine all along, why did you deceive me?!"
Hearing the accusation from Shangguan Yunyu behind him, Lin Pingfan came to a halt.
"I deceived you?!"
"When did I ever claim to be a cripple?!"
Without turning his head, Lin Pingfan answered indifferently.
"It was simply your own self-righteous assumption."
He spoke this final sentence for everyone to hear.
He had never told anyone that he was crippled.
Yet those people stubbornly assumed he was disabled and even bestowed upon him such an unpleasant moniker.
Damn cripple.
"This is the second time you have shown disrespect to the female God of War!"
"You deserve to be punished!"
Just as Lin Pingfan was about to leave, Kuimulang's mountain-like physique blocked his path.
Kuimulang wore a fierce expression, his muscles bulging as he prepared to discipline this Lin Pingfan who dared to show disrespect to the female God of War.
Lin Pingfan raised his head slightly to look at this towering figure nearly two meters tall.
In an instant, an intensely bone-chilling murderous intent flashed through his eyes!
"Get lost!"
As soon as that murderous intent emerged, even the battle-hardened Kuimulang was forced to take several steps back involuntarily!
Because he had an illusion: if he continued to block Lin Pingfan's path, he would undoubtedly die!
And it would be an instant kill at that!
The fierce expression on Kuimulang's face vanished in an instant, and cold sweat streamed down his cheeks!
His gaze...
Was simply too terrifying!
Even when facing the peerless God of War of Yanxia, whose gaze was laden with overwhelming murderous intent, it had only ever frightened him into taking a single step back!
Yet facing Lin Pingfan's eyes, he subconsciously took three steps back.
And he even cleared a path for him!
Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone present, Lin Pingfan left the Ye Family Villa.
The group of people remaining in the Ye Family hall took quite a while to snap out of their shock!
"This matter ends here! No one is permitted to pursue it or blow things out of proportion, otherwise don't blame me for showing no mercy!" Shangguan Yunyu sternly addressed the crowd.
As soon as she said this, the members of the Ye Family were instantly ecstatic, whereas Liu Changqing and the others wore gloomy expressions.
However, the person before them was none other than Shangguan Yunyu; aside from her backing as a God of War, she was also a scion of the Imperial Capital's Shangguan Family!
No matter which identity she held, he could not afford to provoke her.
Thinking of this, he merely let out a cold snort, remaining silent to tacitly accept the outcome.
"Ye Family Head, consider yourselves lucky this time with the God of War Shangguan protecting you. But next time, you won't be so fortunate!" Liu Changqing said grimly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Patriarch Liu, for your magnanimity. When I get back, I will definitely discipline that good-for-nothing Lin Pingfan! I will make sure he never stirs up trouble again and offer a formal apology to your Liu Family!" Upon hearing that Liu Changqing would not hold the Ye Family accountable, Liu Shufen instantly felt a wave of relief.
Shangguan Yunyu paid them no further heed, instead turning to walk outside while a thought lingered in her mind.
"Commander, Lin Pingfan's gaze just now... was terrifying..."
Kuimulang escorted Shangguan Yunyu away while still lingering in lingering fear.
"Hmph, I saw it. You were actually frightened into taking three steps back."
"Could it be that being away from the battlefield for too long has made you forget what killing intent feels like?!"
Shangguan Yunyu reprimanded Kuimulang with a gloomy expression.
Not only had she lost face today, but even the instructor of her Twenty-Eight Mansions Divine Army had been frightened into taking three steps back.
It was utterly humiliating to the extreme.
"No... Commander Shangguan, the murderous intent hidden in Lin Pingfan's eyes was genuinely even greater than that of the Yanxia's first God of War..."
Kuimulang instinctively tried to explain, but the next moment, he was driven back by Shangguan Yunyu's stern gaze.
"Uh... Commander, where are we heading now?"
Shangguan Yunyu took a deep breath, hesitating for a long moment before speaking: "To Shanhai Tiangong, to pay a visit to its master."
"What?!"
Shangguan Yunyu simply wanted to verify right now whether Lin Pingfan was truly the master of that place.
And whether he actually possessed the Yanxia Black Card!
