Chapter 211: Chapter 207 Risky Military Move_3

Zhuge Xuan nodded, treading cautiously, "Long Chen brother, they lured the tiger away from the mountain and kidnapped Xia Ling. They almost fooled me too. I was very angry, and I was afraid that you would be angry... so I fought my way up here.

Originally, I wanted to kill these two as well, but I thought you might still have questions to ask them, so I restrained myself. Did I do the wrong thing?"

"You didn’t do anything wrong, but you got a bit too carried away. I’ll have a detailed talk with you about it later," Long Chen said softly.

"Okay."

Zhuge Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

She was afraid of nothing except Long Chen’s reproach.

Long Chen approached Nangong Dehua and Nangong Li, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at father and son.

Their faces were ashen, their eyes filled with unspeakable fear as they stared at Long Chen.

"Do you have anything else you want to say?" Long Chen asked indifferently.

"Mr. Long, my Nangong Family made a mistake this time. We shouldn’t have offended you. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but I beg Mr. Long to spare my son’s life. He’s still young and has a chance to repent. If you agree, I am willing to offer all my life’s savings," Nangong Dehua said earnestly.

"Long Chen, please don’t kill me. I don’t want to die. I really don’t want to die," Nangong Li’s voice trembled.

"Long Chen brother, this Nangong Li was saying he wanted to torment Xia Ling to death. When I got here, he was about to make his move, already starting to undress Sister Xia Ling. It was really disgusting. Luckily, I arrived in time," Zhuge Xuan said.

"Hmm," Long Chen lightly raised his hand, "Give me the knife."

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan immediately handed over the knife to Long Chen.

Long Chen, holding the knife, said coldly, "Nangong Li, in your next life, if you have the fate to be reborn as a human, you better become a good person."

"I..."

Swish.

Long Chen’s blade fell swiftly, slaying Nangong Li with a single stroke.

"No..."

Nangong Dehua shouted, his eyes reddening.

"Don’t shout. You’re next to die," Long Chen sneered.

Just as Long Chen was about to move, Xia Ling awoke.

Xia Ling opened her eyes to see a world stained with blood, the air filled with the pungent scent of gore. She quickly realized what had happened.

"Sister Xia Ling."

Zhuge Xuan ran over and helped Xia Ling up.

Thinking of all that she had just been through, Xia Ling felt her soul still shaking.

"Xia Ling, turn away," Long Chen said softly.

"You... you..."

Xia Ling hesitated.

She wanted to tell Long Chen not to kill.

But, looking at the corpses on the ground, her words stuck in her throat.

She understood that Long Chen was no ordinary man.

The people dying here were not ordinary either.

It was just that, for a moment, her accepted knowledge couldn’t quite come to terms with such events.

But Xia Ling knew all too well that, as Long Chen’s woman, she must face the bloody storms that could come at any time alongside him.

"Sister Xia Ling, if you’re not scared, I think you should watch. After all, you’ll have to accept all this eventually. If you can’t accept it, then you have no right to be Long Chen brother’s woman, because this is the martial world," Zhuge Xuan said with utmost seriousness.

"I can accept it," Xia Ling immediately said.

"Then watch," Long Chen said, turning his gaze to Nangong Dehua.

Nangong Dehua closed his eyes in despair, filled with regret and unwillingness.

"Thinking to threaten me by kidnapping my woman, such a reckless gamble was the most foolish decision you ever made," Long Chen said coldly.

"Is there really no way to turn this around?" Nangong Dehua struggled with his last hope.

"There is," Long Chen smiled.

Nangong Dehua’s eyes snapped open, brimming with boundless hope, "You say, whatever your demands are, just speak them, and I will agree."

"Hmm, then listen carefully, when your cycle of reincarnation brings you back, I’ll be sure to tell you," Long Chen said with a slight smile.

Nangong Dehua’s face turned ashen.

But before Nangong Dehua could utter a word, Long Chen’s knife descended swiftly, ending Nangong Dehua’s life.

Nangong Dehua died with eyes wide open in disbelief!

Long Chen took a deep breath and cast aside the knife.

This time, the Nangong Family had crossed his line.

Had they not done so, Long Chen would not have been so decisively merciless.

"Long Chen brother, there’s one that got away. I haven’t had the chance to pursue them. It’s the person the Nangong Family sent to capture Sister Xia Ling," Zhuge Xuan said seriously.

"Who?" Long Chen asked.

"I vaguely heard someone calling him Brother Liu, I’m not sure what his name is," Zhuge Xuan said.

"It’s okay," Long Chen said, "Let’s leave first."

As they spoke, Long Chen walked over to Xia Ling and picked her up in a princess carry.

The sight of blood everywhere had terrified her.

Noticing Xia Ling shaking all over, hardly able to stand, Long Chen found her reaction normal for a girl who hadn’t witnessed such a scene before.

"Don’t be afraid, the sky won’t fall, and even if it really were to collapse, I would hold it up for you," Long Chen said softly.

Hearing these words, Xia Ling’s panicked heart calmed down considerably, "With you here, I’m not afraid."

The three of them stepped out of the Nangong Family’s villa and as they reached the outside, the Yang Family people arrived.

Yang Su led a large group, over sixty in number, all martial artists.

But among them, there were not only people from the Yang Family but also martial artists from other smaller families.

Yang Su hurried forward, "Is Director Xia alright?"

"She’s fine, just a little shaken up," Long Chen replied softly.

"That’s good," Yang Su sighed with relief, then quickly asked, "What’s the situation inside now?"

"Everything’s been taken care of," Long Chen said.

Yang Su was taken aback, "What... what do you mean?"

"They’re all dead," Zhuge Xuan replied.

Yang Su and everyone behind him gasped in shock.

The Nangong Family, they were all dead?

They wondered if they had heard wrong!

"Susu, I leave the clean-up to you, I’ll take Xia Ling home first," Long Chen said softly.

"Okay, you... go ahead, I’ll handle it here," Yang Su said.

"Wait, Long Chen brother, I have something else to tell you," Zhuge Xuan suddenly pulled on Long Chen’s arm.

"What is it?" Long Chen asked.

Zhuge Xuan leaned towards Long Chen’s ear and whispered a few words.

After listening, a sharp light flashed in Long Chen’s eyes as he turned to scan the crowd.
