Capítulo 1436: Chapter 1429: The Myriad Facets of Mortals

“Yes, we meet again. I never imagined that someone like you, once a mere ant, would grow to such an extent. If I had known, I would have killed you back then. Otherwise, you’d surely become a major threat to me someday. But it’s okay, killing you today will be just as good.”

Liu Ang looked at Lu Tianxing, his voice oozing with venom, and a chilling killing intent emanating from his entire being. It was Lu Tianxing who had cut off one of his arms, almost preventing him from reaching the Late Stage of Mythical. Had he not accidentally discovered a unique cultivation technique recorded in his sect’s secret manual, he probably wouldn’t have reached the Late Stage of Mythical in this lifetime. Seeing his enemy now, Liu Ang’s murderous intent was understandably thick.

“Yes, I also didn’t expect that, after cutting off one of your hands, you’d still be able to break through to the Late Stage of Mythical. This time you dare to appear before me again; aren’t you afraid I’ll cut off your other hand?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Liu Ang, his tone devoid of emotional fluctuation, as if he were not facing someone at the Late Stage of Mythical.

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing’s gaze lingered on Liu Ang, a strong sense of doubt flickering in his eyes. Liu Ang’s aura clearly suggested he was at the Late Stage of Mythical, yet for some unknown reason, Lu Tianxing couldn’t shake the feeling that Liu Ang was at the Fake Mythical Late Stage and not a true Late Stage of Mythical master. He didn’t have that suffocating presence but felt dangerously without a fatal threat. This feeling was strange, leading Lu Tianxing to suspect that Liu Ang hadn’t truly stepped into the Late Stage of Mythical.

“Cut off my other hand?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Liu Ang’s gaze grew colder, his hoarse voice saying, “Oh really? Lu Tianxing, do you have the ability? Rest assured, I won’t kill you just yet. I want you to taste a thousand kinds of pain, crush your bones one by one, and let you live a life worse than death.”

“A life worse than death? I wish you the strength to achieve that.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Liu Ang, then moved his gaze to Jiang Hongsheng and Jiang Haochen: “I didn’t expect you two to have the guts to show up here. I’ve been looking for you for three days, and you were hiding well. Have you thought about how you want to die?”

“Hmph, Lu Tianxing, you’re too happy too soon. Today’s your death day. You owe the Jiang Family, and I’ll make sure you pay it back in full.”

Jiang Haochen looked at Lu Tianxing, his eyes filled with irresistible killing intent. This time, even if Lu Tianxing had three heads and six arms, he wouldn’t escape death. This time, he wanted Lu Tianxing to die inexplicably.

“Is that so? I hope you keep your word; otherwise, I’ll be taking your life.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Jiang Haochen, then turned his gaze to Tang Fengxiao standing beside Yang Tiansi: “Tang Family, as far as I know, your family has always stayed in Shu, but now you’re in Jiangnan, teaming up with the Yang Family against the Lu Family. Aren’t you afraid of becoming the target of everyone’s attack?”

“The target of everyone’s attack? So what? Our Tang Family never fears challenges. Lu Tianxing, remember what happened in the bar? I told you you’d regret it. You’ll die miserably. Without the old fool Lu Tiankuang, your Lu Family is vulnerable.”

Tang Fengxiao looked coldly at Lu Tianxing. Back in Nostalgia Bar, he was forced by Lu Tianxing to personally break his nephew’s leg. Today, he vowed to make Lu Tianxing die without a burial place.

“Haha, is that so? I’ll remember your words. If the day comes, I’ll visit your Tang Family to seek justice. I hope your family won’t regret it.”

Lu Tianxing completely ignored Tang Fengxiao’s murderous gaze and finally turned his eyes to Yang Tiansi: “Yang Tiansi, it’s the second time we’ve met.”

“Yes, the second meeting. In Beijing, I said I’d let you die rhythmically. Lu Tianxing, you won’t escape death today, even if you have three heads and six arms. Your life is mine, young master.”

Yang Tiansi looked at Lu Tianxing with a confidently victorious smile. In Yang Tiansi’s eyes, Lu Tianxing was now like a fish in a barrel, weak and defenseless, ready to be crushed. He most wanted to see Lu Tianxing’s expression of despair.

“Hahaha, my life? Yang Tiansi, do you think you can take it, worthless as you are? The grand gift you sent me three days ago—I received it. It’s rude not to reciprocate; three days later today, I have a grand gift prepared for you, escorting you to the etherworld.”

Lu Tianxing’s voice was icy and carried a hint of hostility.

“Escort me to the etherworld?”

Yang Tiansi seemed to have heard the joke of the century and laughed uproariously: “Lu Tianxing, who do you think you are? Do you think you are capable? Are you worthy? Killing you is easier than crushing an ant.”

“What if we add myself and the Lu Family to the mix?”

Lu Haoyue stepped forward from the back at this moment, standing by Lu Tianxing’s side, with eyes coldly fixed on Yang Tiansi.

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, everyone except Lu Bowen and Lu Hongda, Lu Gaoyang had a drastic change in expression. They absolutely did not want to engage in a bloody fight with the Yang Family and the Tang Family; they just wanted to live peacefully and protect their interests without any losses, rather than sharing life and death with the Lu Family.

“Haoyue, what are you doing? Don’t act recklessly. They are aiming for Lu Tianxing, not our Lu Family. We shouldn’t stand up for a murderer who killed his own grandfather. It’s not worth it,” a balding middle-aged man said loudly, his tone filled with strong dissatisfaction and rebuke.

“Yes, Haoyue, don’t do anything foolish. Fighting to the death with the Yang Family won’t do us any good. We shouldn’t offend them for an outsider,” another person spoke up.

“Haoyue, come back to us right away. The Lu Family absolutely cannot indulge your follies. You’re driving the Lu Family towards destruction. Lu Tianxing, who disregards seniority, is not worth our protection.”

“You are the head of the Lu Family; your duty is to lead the Lu Family to glory, not to destruction. Do you understand, Haoyue?”

Voices of opposition rose one after another, carrying strong anger and dissatisfaction; before their interests were harmed, they would absolutely not want to tear their faces with the Tang Family and the Yang Family.

“Enough, all of you shut up! Are you all a bunch of fools? Can’t you see the current situation?”

Listening to the countless voices of opposition around him, Lu Haoyue’s anger burst uncontrollably. He finally understood why Lu Tianxing was so dismissive of the Lu Family members. These kinds of relatives who would abandon everything for interests, if possible, he wouldn’t want them either.

Seeing Lu Haoyue’s furious expression, those Lu Family members instinctively shut their mouths.

“The Yang Family and Tang Family came here to destroy our Lu Family. Do you think pushing Tianxing out as a scapegoat will let you rest easy? You’re simply daydreaming! Do you think I don’t know what’s on your minds? You’re worried that cousin will come and take your interests, so you wish him dead. Do you think I don’t know what’s on your mind? You think once cousin is dead, you can rest easy? You’re daydreaming! Do you think the Yang Family and Tang Family will spare you?”

Lu Haoyue’s gaze swept around the surroundings, heavily declaring, “What cousin said is right; you don’t deserve any respect from him. You say he disregards seniority, but just look at yourselves—are any of you acting like elders? I’m telling you, Lu Tianxing is a member of the Lu Family. He is Uncle Tianzhan’s son, which means he is part of the Lu Family, and our Lu Family has never abandoned our brothers.”

“If any of you feel I’m wrong, then get out of the Lu Family. Take your belongings and leave the Lu Family. The Lu Family doesn’t need traitors who would abandon family ties for interests. Take your belongings and leave the Lu Family. I, as Head of the Lu Family, permit you to depart, but from this point onward, you will have no relation with the Lu Family. If you want to leave, do it now. I guarantee no one will stop you, and I’ll have the Lu Family Guards escort you out. How’s that?”

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s frosty words, the faces of some Lu Family members who were just clamoring turned unsightly, but none dared to refute. It’s not that they didn’t want to refute, but they simply didn’t dare, as Lu Haoyue, as the head of the Lu Family, ordered it. If they dared to refute, who knows if Lu Haoyue would directly expel them from the Lu Family.

They are not like Lu Tianxing, who holds strong power himself and can thrive anywhere. They, on the other hand, would be nothing without the Lu Family backing them up. Moreover, they’ve long enjoyed a life of indulgence and pleasure, and living an ordinary life would be no different from killing them.

Lu Haoyue’s cold gaze swept around, slowly speaking, “Today is a life-and-death moment for our Lu Family. We must unite to survive. If anyone dares stir up trouble now, don’t blame me for being harsh. The Lu Family might not stop the Yang Family and Tang Family, but we certainly have the ability to execute traitors. I hope you won’t force me to have the Lu Family Guards clean house.”

“Family Head, I will follow you. Face the Yang Family in a fight to the death. Back in the day, the old master single-handedly slashed into Beijing, frightening them out of their wits. Today, we can do the same, fight it out with them,” the Lu Family member who was almost killed by Liu Ang earlier spoke up loudly.

“Lu Zhang is right, let’s fight them. Fighting gives us a chance of survival. If we don’t fight, we won’t even have hope,” another voice chimed in.

“That’s right. Back in the day, the old master killed the Yang Family Ancestor. The Yang Family probably harbors deep resentment against us. This time, they’re here to wipe out the Lu Family, leaving no chance of survival. So why not fight them?”

One by one, Lu Family members stepped forward. Regardless of their feelings, they had to show up. If they didn’t step forward now, they might be purged by Lu Haoyue, especially since he’s holding the strong force of the Lu Family Guards.
