"Wu Tian, I didn't expect you to actually come. You've got some nerve! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Your death is just around the corner."
Wu Tian and Jin Lingyun walked side by side, weaving through the crowd, when suddenly a powerful voice reached their ears.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered a loudspeaker hanging on a pillar in front of him, with a monitoring device next to it.
He knew that somewhere in the Splendid Manor, the owner of the voice was watching them and could hear what he was saying.
He leaned close to the monitor, a cynical smile playing on his lips. "I know you're eager to die, but don't worry, I'll be here to send you to hell soon."
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his hand, and an invisible blade swept past.
A loud bang was heard, and the loudspeaker and monitoring equipment were instantly reduced to fragments.
At the same time, the large screen inside Jinxiu Villa suddenly lost signal.
In the center of the crowd, Sun Zhendong, with his white hair and beard and a goatee, changed his expression in an instant, from astonishment to gloom.
He had intended to use words to disrupt Wu Tian's mind, but Wu Tian didn't fall for it at all and decisively destroyed his equipment.
"Hmph! Arrogant brat! Since you've chosen your own death, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Sun Zhendong gritted his teeth, speaking slowly and deliberately, each word like a cold wind passing by, chilling to the bone.
After saying that, he frantically pressed the remote control.
"Waaah—"
The long, drawn-out alarm shattered the tranquility of the Splendid Manor, like a bugle call from an ancient battlefield, awakening the warriors hiding in the bushes by the gate.
A muscular figure dressed in samurai attire leaped out of the dense forest like a beast unleashed from its cage, instantly surrounding Wu Tian and his group.
Faced with the magnificent and surging scene, Jin Lingyun frowned slightly and exclaimed in amazement, "The Sun family of Linhai is indeed well-established. They have managed to gather so many first-grade martial artists in such a short time."
Although she had anticipated the Sun family's formidable power, she had not expected to see so many first-rank martial artists.
She roughly estimated that there were probably as many as a thousand first-rank martial artists here.
Wu Tian coldly surveyed the sea of people before him, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips. He sneered, "There are just a lot of people, nothing but a show of force. They're all just a bunch of worthless scoundrels."
He dared to challenge the Sun family alone because he had a plan in mind.
He didn't take a mere few hundred first-rank martial artists seriously at all; such a force was not even worth mentioning the old, weak, women, and children on Prison Dragon Island.
Jin Lingyun glanced at Wu Tian discreetly, but seeing his calm and composed demeanor, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Junior Brother is indeed an outstanding person. Facing a thousand martial artists, he remains calm and fearless. He is truly admirable."
Just then, a loud shout pierced the sky from within the Sun family's martial arts formation, "Miss Jin of Rongzhou, the Sun family has no intention of antagonizing the Jin family. We hope Miss Jin will leave with her entourage immediately, otherwise, fists and feet have no eyes and may injure Miss Jin, thus damaging the harmony between our two families."
Upon hearing this, Jin Lingyun gave a cold, beautiful smile.
It seems that the Sun family is also wary of the Jin family behind her, and this way they can be made to submit to the Sun family.
Although she believed that Wu Tian could conquer the Sun family, she was still somewhat worried about the challenge from so many people.
So he deliberately shouted firmly, "Hmph! To be an enemy of my junior brother is to be an enemy of me, Jin Lingyun, and also an enemy of the Jin family of Rongzhou. If you don't want to damage the harmony between our two families, you should leave immediately and agree to my junior brother's conditions."
Wu Tian turned to look at Jin Lingyun and teased in a low voice, "I never expected that Senior Sister would come from such a prominent family as the Jin family of Rongzhou. It's truly impressive!"
Eight years ago, he had already passed the test of the Jin family of Rongzhou, a powerful family that was renowned throughout China. However, he never expected that his senior sister's background would be so formidable.
Jin Lingyun's brows radiated pride as she smiled and said, "Of course. Without a powerful background, how could I be qualified to become your senior sister and be accepted as a disciple of Master?"
Wu Tian nodded slightly, silently agreeing with Jin Lingyun's statement.
He knew that as the master of Prison Dragon Island, his extraordinary abilities and resources were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If he didn't have powerful backing, how could he have gotten in touch with someone like her?
Seeing that Wu Tian had approved of her words, Jin Lingyun's eyes gleamed with pride and confidence. "With me, Jin Lingyun, here, this matter will surely be resolved easily. You won't even need to lift a finger to get what you want today."
The Sun family feared the Jin family of Rongzhou, and she believed that the Sun family would consider the bigger picture and agree to Wu Tian's request.
However, Wu Tian gently shook his head and said firmly, "The Sun family will never agree to my conditions!"
"Why are you so sure?" Jin Lingyun asked, puzzled, her face full of doubt.
Wu Tian's smile froze, replaced by a chilling aura. He slowly said, "Because my demand is that the entire Sun family pay with their lives."
The air froze upon hearing this.
Jin Lingyun couldn't help but shiver.
She never expected Wu Tian to be so vicious, wanting the lives of everyone in the Sun family. This demand undoubtedly crossed the line of humanity.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Wu Tian's voice ring out again, "The crimes they committed against my family back then are too numerous to count; they didn't even spare infants in swaddling clothes. I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this."
Looking at Wu Tian's clenched teeth and fierce expression, Jin Lingyun deeply understood Wu Tian's uncontrollable resentment.
The pain of a family being brutally slaughtered is something no one can ever truly forget.
At this moment, the flames of revenge ignited in her heart, and she vowed to avenge Wu Tian and the massacre of his family.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a resolute light, and declared loudly, "I, Jin Lingyun, will today join my junior brother in a bloodbath against the Sun family. This matter has nothing to do with the Jin family of Rongzhou; it is solely about revenge."
After saying this, she gave orders to her followers: "Everyone, listen to my command! Follow me and charge into the Sun family. Anyone who tries to stop us will be killed without mercy."
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Jin Lingyun's followers erupted in a deafening roar. Although their numbers were fewer than those of the Sun family's warriors, their fighting spirit was in no way inferior.
Faced with Jin Lingyun's resolute stance, the Sun family warrior said in an icy tone, "Since Miss Jin is so stubborn, then we have no choice but to be rude."
Jin Lingyun's lips curled slightly, a hint of coldness flashing across her face, and she was about to wave her hand to signal everyone to charge.
Wu Tian grabbed her wrist. He spoke softly, but his words carried an undeniable determination: “Why should Senior Sister personally deal with these rabble? I alone am enough. Just have your people cover their ears to avoid being accidentally injured by me.”
Although Jin Lingyun was puzzled by Wu Tian's intentions, she still obeyed his orders.
Just then, the sky seemed to split open a furious throat, and a deafening roar suddenly descended.
Its force was so great that the entire Jinxiu Manor trembled.
