Chapter 448: Chapter 446: The Fall of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group (3rd Update)

After hanging up the phone with Tie Niu, Lu Tianxing’s face showed a faint smile. Although Tie Niu had never spoken words of concern or even asked about his injuries, Lu Tianxing found nothing odd about it. He and Tie Niu were brothers who had been through life and death together, having covered for each other on several occasions to escape danger. For brothers like them, words of concern were unnecessary; knowing that the other had your back was enough.

”What’s wrong, who called you?”

Bai Zhiqing looked curiously at Lu Tianxing. He hadn’t tried to hide the phone conversation from her, and the voice on the other end was so loud that she couldn’t help but hear it.

”It was my brother,” Lu Tianxing replied candidly.

”Your brother?”

Bai Zhiqing was startled, ”Are you talking about the person who helped us escape from the assassins on the cross-river bridge?”

”Not him, another one. I’ll introduce them to you when I get the chance,” Lu Tianxing said with a smile.

”Really?”

Bai Zhiqing’s eyes brightened, filled with anticipation. Lu Tianxing introducing his brothers to her surely meant that he was gradually starting to see her as his wife.

”Of course, why would I lie to you?”

Lu Tianxing held Bai Zhiqing, sensing the surprise in her eyes.

Bai Zhiqing didn’t speak, not minding the strong smell of blood on Lu Tianxing; instead, she clung tightly to his waist, afraid that Lu Tianxing would leave her.

In that moment, their hearts seemed to draw closer, their feelings slowly fermenting through this crisis, just waiting for the day to blossom.

...

As news of the battle at Sining Cemetery spread, a Mythical Level Martial Artist was killed in Modu—a shocking occurrence where he was brutally slain at Sining Cemetery. The news hit like a supernova, leaving everyone dazed and feeling a chill down their spines. It had been many years since a Mythical Level Martial Artist had been killed.

It is almost harder than reaching the heavens to kill a Mythical Level Martial Artist, which is why there is a saying, ”Not entering the Mythical Realm means remaining as mere ants.” It’s not just about the gap between the Mythical and Heavenly Realms; it’s virtually impossible to kill a Mythical Level Martial Artist, even one of the same rank can hardly be killed. Yet, now a Mythical Level Martial Artist had died in Modu, falling within just a few minutes.

This news, like a gale sweeping away leaves, shook all of Modu, silencing all Martial Artists and prompting them to leave Modu. Who knew if the killer would unleash another bloodbath?

Although this news spread through Modu, it was quickly suppressed, and even the news about Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing was contained. Apart from a few insiders, hardly anyone knew that Ye Lang had died at the hands of Lu Tianxing.

Amidst the shock in Modu, the truly shocking news was the re-emergence of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, a new force that had lain dormant for over a year. They revealed their bloodthirsty fangs once again when they unhesitatingly sent a Judge’s Mark to the headquarters of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group.

That very night, headed by Little Bee and Mandala, the Netherworld Mercenary Corps stormed the headquarters of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group, annihilating it completely. All elite members were wiped out, leaving only a few insignificant figures.

The headquarters of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group was ultimately reduced to rubble under the impact of several rocket missiles.

After destroying the Night Wolf Mercenary Group, the Netherworld Mercenary Corps boldly issued a bounty for the extermination of all remaining elite members of the Night Wolf, intent on erasing them from existence.

The bloodthirsty and domineering style of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps terrified everyone. Forces that had once crossed paths with them now went into hiding, not even daring to breathe too heavily, fearful of drawing their attention.

If even the Night Wolf Mercenary Corps had been obliterated, these small fries stood no chance.

Meanwhile, the news that Ye Lang and his elite members had ultimately perished in China spread throughout the entire Underworld, causing every assassin and mercenary with a mission in China to shudder with fear, immediately abandoning their assignments. Money was important, but life was more so; if even Ye Lang, a mythic strongman, had died, their going was akin to courting death.

Meanwhile, inside the study of the Wang Family Mansion.

Since learning that Ye Lang had died at the hands of Lu Tianxing, almost all the important members of the Wang family had gathered. Wang Anquan was sitting in the Family Head’s seat, which belonged to Wang Yanzhi, who was sitting next to Wang Anquan.

News of Ye Lang’s death had been relayed back to the Wang family through various channels. Even Ye Lang, a mythical-level strongman, had been killed by Lu Tianxing. It was imaginable how terrifying the strength of Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing’s husband, must be. Lu Tianxing’s strength was only greater, not lesser, than that of Ye Lang. It would be as easy as flipping his hand for a mythic martial artist like him to destroy their Wang family.

The room was swirling with smoke, every face filled with gravity, a suffocating atmosphere making it hard for everyone to breathe.

”Lao Da, aren’t you going to say something? Don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”

The first to lose patience was the second eldest of the Wang family, Wang Yantao, his face dark as he stared at his older brother, Wang Yanzhi. He had been the strongest contender for the position of family head, but lost it due to the old man’s word that favored primogeniture over junior branches.

As Wang Yantao spoke up, Lao San, Wang Yanhu, also said, ”Lao Da, you have gone too far this time. It was deserved when Wang Kai got his legs broken by you for offending someone, but how could you act rashly without thoroughly investigating someone’s true identity? Do you know who he is, the strength of his connections? Would Bai Qiao Mountain choose a nobody to be their granddaughter’s husband? Do you want the entire Wang family to pay for your foolish son’s actions?”

”You’re right, Lao Da. If you don’t give us a reasonable explanation today, don’t blame us brothers for being ruthless and unkind later. You should know how terrifying a mythical martial artist can be. We can’t all be implicated because of your worthless son.”

These words were spoken by the fourth eldest of the Wang family, Wang Yanfeng, a man in his thirties who controlled much of the family’s assets.

”That’s right, we agree with Lao Si’s opinion. Lao Da, make a statement! Otherwise, we’ll have no choice but to capture you and your worthless son to appease the wrath of a mythic martial artist.”

The others nodded, agreeing with what Wang Yanhu had said.

Listening to his own brothers’ words, Wang Yanzhi’s fingers clenched tightly together, his face as dark as water. He had never expected Lu Tianxing to be so formidable that even Ye Lang, a well-known mythical strongman, had perished by his hand.

At this thought, Wang Yanzhi felt a twinge of regret. If he had known that Lu Tianxing was a mythic martial artist, he would never have allied with Ye Lang. Mythic martial artists, with immense power at their disposal, could devastate his family with ease. Had he known this, he wouldn’t have sought revenge for Wang Kai’s death, for inciting the wrath of a mythic martial artist could easily lead to the annihilation of the Wang family.

”We have no way out. Relying on Lu Tianxing’s temperament, once he knows it was me he was up against, he surely won’t let me go. Since that’s the case, it’s worth fighting to the death. Although the mythic strongman has departed, he is not absolutely invincible.”

Beyond regret, Wang Yanzhi immediately became filled with a murderous intent, determined to kill Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing. Now that blood feud was established, there was no resolving it. Since that was the case, he wanted to test if a mythical martial artist truly possessed an immortal body.

Wang Anquan had remained silent throughout, his expression gloomy as he sat, a hint of heartache crossing his mind. As the saying goes, a royal house is heartless. He had thought the Wang family would be different, but now, facing a crisis, his brothers were not thinking about fighting the external enemy but were instead consumed with power struggles, to his profound dismay.

”Lao Da, make a statement! What you did this time was too much. We can overlook your son’s lavish lifestyle, his reckless behavior. We can pretend not to see these things. We don’t care about the lives of the insignificant, but your son had to provoke a mythic martial artist. Do you understand what a mythic martial artist represents? Wang Yanzhi, today you must provide us with an explanation.”

Wang Yantao looked grimly at Wang Yanzhi, determined to remove him from the position of Family Head. Carrying Wang Yanzhi’s head might even appease Lu Tianxing’s wrath, allowing him to smoothly step into the position of power within the Wang family.

”Exactly.”

”You must give us an explanation. Because of your worthless son, you have put the entire Wang family into an unprecedented crisis; you must provide us with a reasonable explanation.”

”You are a fool, Wang Yanzhi! Do you know who Bai Zhiqing is, whose granddaughter she is? Have you forgotten Bai Qiao Mountain? He is a complete madman, and his brothers are even crazier madmen of high stature. Do you want the Wang family to be blown up with missiles? I think it’s time for you to step down as head of the family.”

All present condemned Wang Yanzhi, their faces filled with a trace of fear. Bai Qiao Mountain was a madman, his brothers even more powerful madmen who acted without considering the consequences. If they knew their granddaughter and her husband had been targeted for assassination, who knew if these madmen wouldn’t storm their home with another group of lunatics.

An orderly life meant nothing to these people; otherwise, the Yanhuang Group wouldn’t have easily negotiated to release Lu Tianxing. Unreasonable madmen are always the most terrifying because if you offend them, they will stop at nothing to seek revenge.
