"Brother Tian, please have mercy!"
Xia Xue exclaimed in shock, her voice filled with disbelief and panic. She had witnessed firsthand the horrifying scene of Qin Weishan's head shattering at Wu Tian's feet like a fragile watermelon.
At this moment, she feared that Xia Jian's fate would also repeat itself, turning into a pool of blood.
Xia Xue's heart was like a lake swept by a storm, with waves rising and falling.
Although Wu Tian was trying to protect her, Xia Jian's crime did not warrant death, as he was still her cousin.
Her cries were a plea for Xia Jian's life, and also a feeble plea to Wu Tian's arrogant power.
Wu Tian's gaze was like a cold star as he looked down at Xia Jian, who was curled up on the ground.
His thin lips parted slightly, his tone calm, yet every word pierced the heart like an ice pick: "Out of consideration for Xia Xue's pleas, I'll let you go today. But if you harbor such thoughts again, I will ensure you die a horrible death!"
In fact, if he really wanted to kill Xia Jian, one punch would have been enough.
He didn't kill Xia Jian, but because Xia Jian was Xia Xue's relative, he didn't want to put Xia Xue in a difficult position.
Wu Tian's brief words, like the sharpest sword light in the dark night, not only shattered the silence of the air but also left an indelible mark on Xia Jian's heart.
Each word weighed heavily, filling him with an unprecedented sense of despair and coldness.
Xia Jian felt as if he had been abandoned in a dark abyss, his body enveloped in fear and chill.
He looked up at Wu Tian, whose figure in his eyes had transformed into an irresistible god, wielding supreme power over life and death.
This scene became an unforgettable nightmare for him.
It had long been rumored that the entire Wu family had perished in that catastrophe, but no one expected that Wu Tian would still be alive and even become so powerful.
Just then, a sharp, angry roar pierced the sky, "Which damned bastard dares to touch my son?"
Before the words were finished, a middle-aged noblewoman, around fifty years old and adorned with jewels, rushed out of the Xia family mansion.
She is Xia Jian's mother, Li Fengjiao.
She glanced at Xia Jian curled up on the ground, her heartache evident in her voice, and her soft words couldn't hide her anxiety: "Jian'er, what happened to you?"
Immediately, seeing blood trickling from Xia Jian's lips, she was consumed by rage and nearly lost control, roaring, "Xia Zhonghai, what are you standing there for? My son has been murdered like this, why don't you hurry up and kill that guy to avenge me!"
Xia Xuewen quickly explained, "Second Aunt, please calm down, this... is actually a misunderstanding."
Everyone in the Xia family knows Li Fengjiao's shrewish reputation, and she dotes on Xia Jian to the extreme. Seeing her beloved son injured, she is naturally furious and her hatred for Wu Tian is boundless.
Xia Xue knew that Li Fengjiao was no match for Wu Tian, and that if she provoked Wu Tian because of Xia Jian, she would likely be in grave danger. So she quickly tried to dissuade her.
However, Li Fengjiao did not understand her meaning and instead turned her anger on Xia Xue, scolding her sharply: "You jinx, do you think you haven't harmed our family enough? Why did you come back!"
Xia Xue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I brought bad luck to the Xia family, but... this wasn't what I wanted. This time I came back, I... I just wanted to see Grandma..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Fengjiao interrupted him shrilly, "Hmph! What are you pretending to be pitiful for? Your grandmother was killed by you long ago..."
"Enough!" Xia Zhonghai, with his slicked-back black hair exuding an air of authority, interrupted angrily, "How dare you utter such ominous words to my mother! You've gone completely mad!"
Li Fengjiao cried out hoarsely, "How can I not go crazy after my son has been beaten like this? Besides, what difference is there between your mother's condition and that of someone who is dead?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue anxiously asked, "Second Uncle, what exactly happened to Grandma?"
Xia Zhonghai responded coldly, his tone icy: "I'll take care of her myself, she doesn't need your help. But you, you came back and injured Jian'er, what kind of logic is that?"
Wu Tian spoke calmly, his tone light but chilling: "He was disrespectful to Xia Xue and should have been severely punished. He was spared because Xia Xue pleaded for him. Otherwise, he would already be a corpse."
Li Fengjiao was furious. She rushed up to Wu Tian, pointed at his nose, and shouted, "You little bastard, how dare you be so arrogant! Even if Jian'er was disrespectful to her, even if you killed that little bitch..."
Before the words were even finished, a crisp "snap" was heard.
The slap was so loud that the air seemed to vibrate.
Li Fengjiao staggered and fell to the ground. Stars danced before her eyes, and as the world spun around her, two of her molars quietly slipped out.
moment!
The shadow of humiliation and the flames of anger intertwined into a complex web, completely consuming the light of her reason.
Even though her body was too weak to support her, she still pounced on Wu Tian's calf with the indomitable spirit of a hungry lone wolf, her sharp teeth flashing coldly, determined to avenge her previous humiliation.
However!
This fearless counterattack was like a candle flickering in the wind, instantly kicked away by Wu Tian.
She slammed heavily against the steps behind her like an abandoned sandbag, and a mouthful of blood bloomed like a flower, both brilliant and tragic.
Witnessing this scene, Xia Zhonghai glared angrily and shouted, "Wu Tian, how dare you be so arrogant! Do you think the Xia family doesn't exist?"
Wu Tian's voice was as cold as ice, piercing through the air and striking straight to the heart, "Anyone who dares to insult Xia Xue deserves to die, without exception. If it weren't for the fact that you are Xia Xue's relatives, you would all be dead right now!"
Those words, like whispers from the underworld, sent a chill down the spines of everyone present, as if they were standing on the edge of a cold hell.
Even Xia Zhonghai, a veteran of many battles, was terrified at this moment, as if he were being watched by the Grim Reaper.
However, he quickly regained his composure, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "A few words and you think you can scare us? Get him!"
With a powerful command, the Xia family's security guards rushed towards Wu Tian like a tidal wave.
A cold smile crept across Wu Tian's lips as he casually raised his hand and waved it lightly.
In an instant!
The enormous stone lion that stood majestically and inviolably at the entrance of the Xia family's residence was as light as a feather in his palm, as if it had become a plaything in his hand.
This scene caused everyone present to freeze in their tracks, as if time had stood still, leaving them stunned and unable to move.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Wu Tian let out a low, cold sneer: "If anyone thinks their head is tougher than this stone, feel free to try."
After he finished speaking, the seemingly indestructible stone lion was easily crushed into dust in his hands, like a fragile bubble, and scattered in all directions.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, their astonishment evident on their faces. Some were even so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, unable to control themselves.
The stone lion, weighing a thousand pounds, seemed to lose its weight in his fingers, becoming the best testament to his extraordinary strength.
Wu Tian, at this moment, was like a war god descending from the heavens, surrounded by an invincible aura, standing proudly before everyone.
Such power is enough to make heaven and earth pale in comparison, and all living beings bow down in submission.
