Chapter 571: Chapter 572: Eradicating the Accomplice

"Song Xiaodong!"

Sun Shiliu and Sun Shiba immediately cried out in horror.

Song Xiaodong halted his steps, his gaze coldly fixed on them, the killing aura in his eyes suddenly becoming extremely intense. These two were accomplices to Sun Zi’ang, which meant they were implicated in the harm that befell Song Xiaoru. In his heart, these two were already on the list of the dead.

Sun Shiliu shouted, "Song Xiaodong, you are very strong, but that’s only true outside. In our Sun family, this isn’t a place for you to run wild. Considering your strength, if you leave now, you can still save your life!"

Song Xiaodong didn’t say anything, but his gaze was locked directly onto Sun Shiliu, sending chills down his spine and a cold shiver from his feet to the roots of his hair—a reflex of a master when faced with extreme danger.

Song Xiaodong actually wanted to kill him!

This thought flashed through Sun Shiliu’s mind, and just as it emerged, he saw Song Xiaodong move.

"Stop him!" Sun Shiliu instinctively shouted, then rapidly retreated, his reaction speed truly exceptionally fast.

However fast his realization and reaction were, they weren’t as fast as Song Xiaodong.

With a fierce push off the ground, Song Xiaodong shot forward like an arrow leaving the string, reaching Sun Shiliu in an instant. The other three had just begun to react when Song Xiaodong had already broken through their defenses.

"Hey!" Although Sun Shiliu was greatly terrified, feeling as if Song Xiaodong’s strength had increased a lot since their last encounter, he naturally did not submit to his fate. He punched out fiercely, attacking as his defense, believing that if he could block Song Xiaodong’s attack this time, the others could swarm in, and he wouldn’t be in such danger.

However good his awareness was, it couldn’t make up for the disparity in strength, and Song Xiaodong, who was intent on killing, wouldn’t give Sun Shiliu any chance at all.

Before Sun Shiliu’s fists could hit his chest, Song Xiaodong had already grasped Sun Shiliu’s neck with one hand. And it was only then that Sun Shiliu’s fists landed on his chest, their force mostly dissipated, posing no threat to Song Xiaodong whatsoever.

Sun Shiliu’s face turned blue, his voice strained, "Kid, if you have the guts... kill me, and see if you can... walk out of the Sun family!"

"You wouldn’t dare, kid!" The other three immediately shouted, but dared not make a move, for fear that Song Xiaodong would crush Sun Shiliu’s throat with a mere flex of his fingers.

"You think I wouldn’t dare?" Song Xiaodong scoffed, his fingers suddenly exerting force.

A faint sound of bones cracking came from Sun Shiliu’s throat right away.

The moment Song Xiaodong released his hand, Sun Shiliu tried to lift his arms to clutch his neck, but he could only move them halfway before they could no longer rise, his mouth gaping wide, eyes still filled with disbelief. Then, his gaze faded, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.

"Sixteen!" The three men cried out, rushing to check on Sun Shiliu. But one look was enough to send a chill through them, knowing that Sun Shiliu’s throat was crushed by Song Xiaodong, and though he still had a hint of breath, it was clear he was beyond saving.

The three sprung to their feet, eyes bloodshot as they stared at Song Xiaodong. These men had always been with the Sun family, and although there was competition among them, the bonds were quite strong. Seeing Sun Shiliu being killed by Song Xiaodong right before their eyes was unbearable. Not only was this a matter of brotherly affection, but also a disgrace to the Sun family, and they had always held the family’s honor in the highest regard.

Sun Shiba ground his teeth and said fiercely, "Kid, you must die today!"

Song Xiaodong looked at Sun Shiba and said coldly, "Now it’s your turn!"

"Attack together!" The other two shouted in unison, launching their attack on Song Xiaodong right away.

These three people launched indeed rapid attacks, and when high-level masters like them teamed up against one person, it was generally quite difficult to deal with.

However, the one they were facing was Song Xiaodong. On the way here, Song Xiaodong had been constantly improving his vital energy and spirit, and after warming up at the door just now, his body was in a rising state. With a low shout, he directly charged at the two adversaries.

Bang bang!

With two muffled thuds, their fists and feet collided with those of Song Xiaodong, and the immense force made them stagger two steps back.

But Song Xiaodong only paused briefly before already moving carefully towards Sun Eighteen.

The two men, with their old strength gone and new strength yet to come, hurried to attack Song Xiaodong, but they were still a fraction of a second too late.

Just that little bit of time was enough; Song Xiaodong’s hand had once again grasped Sun Eighteen’s throat.

Sun Eighteen had fully prepared himself this time, believing that he wouldn’t be easily defeated by Song Xiaodong as Sun Sixteen had been, based on his experience from their previous bout.

However, his thinking was still terribly wrong. In the blink of an eye, Song Xiaodong had already grabbed his throat, and all his preparations turned out to be in vain.

"This has nothing to do with me, it was the Sixth Young Master who wanted to rape your sister. I didn’t lay a hand on her," Sun Eighteen suddenly cowered in the face of death, instinctively trying to exonerate himself.

"The principal offender must die, and the accomplices cannot escape blame. Die!" Song Xiaodong said coldly, his hand showing no mercy as he squeezed down.

"Damn it!" The other two roared in anger and attacked Song Xiaodong once again.

One of the two men was ranked fifteenth, and the other fourteenth; their strength wasn’t much less than that of Sun Sixteen and Sun Eighteen. Even if the two attacked together, they posed no threat to Song Xiaodong.

"Stop!" At that moment, several people ran over, one of them shouting in a deep voice.

"Fourth Master!" The two men immediately stopped and respectfully called out to the man.

This was a man in his fifties, sturdy in build, with slightly dark skin and tiger-like eyes, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

He was Sun Tongyuan, the Fourth Master of the Sun family, one of the influential figures in the family. He stared at Song Xiaodong and said coldly, "Who are you that dares to break into the Sun family and kill our family guards?"

With his hands behind his back, Song Xiaodong stood there and said indifferently, "Finally, someone decent shows up. I’m here to take someone; hand over Sun Zi’ang."

"Sun Zi’ang? Little Six, what grudge do you have with him?" Sun Tongyuan asked coldly.

In a large family like the Sun family, with numerous members, the elders often didn’t meddle in the affairs of the younger generation. Although the family knew about Sun Zi’ang’s arranged marriage with the Su Family, only a few might have heard of Miao Xuanxuan’s name, let alone Song Xiaodong’s identity.

Sun Zi’ang was supposed to go to Tiannan City, which is why someone helped him investigate the situation regarding Miao Xuanxuan. But other than that, many didn’t even know he’d been to Tiannan, much less about the trouble he caused there.

A sharp light flashed in Song Xiaodong’s eyes as he said coldly, "Our enmity is as deep as the sea. Hand over Sun Zi’ang to me for punishment today, and we can let this matter rest; otherwise, today I will... wash the Sun family in blood!"
