Chapter 573: Chapter 574: Those Who Block Me Shall Die!

"Those who block my path will die!"

Song Xiaodong bellowed furiously, his eyes burning red with rage upon seeing his enemy. It was this bastard who dared to molest Song Xiaoru, this very bastard who forced Xiaodong to attempt suicide by jumping off a building, and he could never forgive him.

The appearance of Sun Zi’ang completely ignited Song Xiaodong’s wrath. In his eyes, there was only Sun Zi’ang, and anyone else standing in his way was merely an obstacle that needed to be eliminated without mercy.

"If you want to kill the Sixth Young Master, you have to get past me first!" Sun Five also yelled fiercely. Regardless of Xiaodong’s reasons, he had to ensure the safety of the Sun Family members, and as a strong man, he could not retreat without fighting — a matter of a strong man’s dignity.

Sun Five’s entanglement further infuriated Xiaodong, who threw a fierce punch. The punch wasn’t fast, but in Sun Five’s eyes, it was unavoidable no matter how skillfully he tried to dodge. It appeared that clashing head-on was the only best strategy.

"Hi!" Sun Five roared as he threw his fist to meet Xiaodong’s.

"Bang!" The two fists collided instantly.

Sun Five felt a tremendous force from the opponent’s fist, instantly crushing all his defensive strength and invading his body. He was shocked and involuntarily flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air.

It was fortunate that Sun Five reacted quickly. Had he remained standing his ground against Xiaodong, that single punch might have shattered his internal organs. Although it seemed he was sent flying by Xiaodong, this action dissipated some of Xiaodong’s force and saved his life, albeit he was severely injured. After landing, he stumbled several steps back before barely stabilizing himself.

"You... you really are strong," Sun Five said slowly, clutching his chest and looking shocked.

Song Xiaodong coldly said, "I have said it before, those who block my path will die!" Then, without paying any further attention to Sun Five, he strode directly towards Sun Zi’ang.

Sun Zi’ang was terrified. Seeing such a skilled fighter as Sun Five injured by Song Xiaodong made it clear that the others present could not stop Xiaodong. He turned and fled immediately; this was not a time to worry about face, but about saving his own life.

Sun Tongyun frowned deeply, surprised that Sun Five had been defeated by Xiaodong. Yet, having faced many tough situations before, he sternly said, "Stop, we can talk about this!"

Song Xiaodong coldly replied, "Talk? I only have two conditions — either let Sun Zi’ang die or let me take him away. I won’t accept any other conditions."

Sun Tongyun coldly said, "Boy, don’t push things too far. I tried to recruit you because I recognized your strength, otherwise do you think our Sun family can’t deal with you?"

"Recruit me? Wanting to recruit me? Ha... Setting aside my unresolved issues with Sun Zi’ang, even without this feud, what virtues or abilities does your Sun family possess that could possibly recruit me? Step aside!"

Sun Tongyun snorted coldly and said, "Then it’s your choice to seek death—no one to blame but yourself. Attack!"

As Sun Tongyun’s voice fell, someone from behind him suddenly pulled out a handgun from his waistband. Sun Five gave a wry smile and gently shook his head; no matter how skillful one is, one can’t outrun a bullet.

Having run quite a distance, Sun Zi’ang looked back and saw this scene, immediately breaking into jubilation and shouting, "You bastard, how dare you run wild in the Sun Family’s territory! Regretting it now? Haha, I did toy with your sister and forced her to jump off a building; what can you do about it?"

Sun Tongyun couldn’t help but frown. Sun Zi’ang was a disgrace to the Sun family. Yet, given the current situation, even though he knew that Sun Zi’ang was the one at fault, Sun Tongyun couldn’t let Song Xiaodong go just to protect the family’s honor.

Looking at Song Xiaodong, Sun Tongyun said gravely, "Young man, surrender quietly now, and you might save your life. Otherwise, don’t blame the gun for being heartless."

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "Very well, with such strict gun control, and yet your Sun family dares to use a gun."

Sun Tongyun said gravely, "You need not worry about that. I’m giving you thirty seconds to think it over."

The corners of Song Xiaodong’s mouth curled up. "No need to think." Just as he spoke, his figure suddenly flickered as though he was bursting toward the left.

The man holding the gun instinctively swung the barrel left, but Song Xiaodong’s body suddenly dashed right. His movements were too fast. Before the man could react, Song Xiaodong was standing at a peculiar angle with Sun Tongyun accidentally blocking him from the line of fire.

The man holding the gun naturally dared not shoot at this point, risking hitting Sun Tongyun, and that would be no laughing matter. His reaction was nonetheless swift as he quickly shifted his footing, attempting to find a good angle to shoot again.

Though this all sounds complicated, it actually took only a second or two. Song Xiaodong wouldn’t give him another chance to strike. With a fierce wave of his right hand, a silver needle flew out.

Song Xiaodong never parted with his silver needles, which served not only for healing but also as weapons. Silver needles could save lives as well as take them.

The silver needle shot out, merely flashing a cold light in the air. Except for Sun Five, none of the others saw what Song Xiaodong had thrown.

The gunman felt a pain in his throat then his body instantly numbed, the gun dropping to the ground as he collapsed.

"Guns are good things, but it also depends on whose hands they are in," said Song Xiaodong lightly. He then glanced at Sun Five and pushed past Sun Tongyun, striding rapidly toward Sun Zi’ang.

"Help! Save my life!" Sun Zi’ang was altogether panic-stricken, turning and running as fast as he could. He truly wished he had more legs at that moment and regretted not exercising more often to possibly run faster.

Yet the distance between him and Song Xiaodong was closing rapidly. What was several dozen meters moments ago seemed to have shrunk significantly after only a few steps.

A group of about seven or eight people came rushing from the opposite direction. Seeing those people, Sun Zi’ang immediately cried out with joy, "Grandfather, help me! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Then, with strength he didn’t know he had, he increased his speed and finally made it to the crowd just before Song Xiaodong could catch him.

"Stop!" An elder with white hair and beard suddenly shouted, his face filled with anger. It was Sun Tongyun—the famously renowned Family Head of a major family in China!

"Song Xiaodong!" Next to Sun Changtian was a burly man in his forties, who couldn’t help but cry out loudly.
