"Hmph, you brat, you're smart. Since you've come looking for me, I'll kill you today."
Tang Yilong snorted coldly, pressing the knife in his hand against Tang Xinyu's throat, and threatened with a chilling tone, "So what if you can fight? Tang Xinyu is in my hands now. If you want her to live, you'll obey me."
"You will immediately cripple your own hands, or I'll kill her right now."
"You dare!"
Li Yang's fury was immense. If Tang Xinyu suffered even the slightest harm, he would tear Tang Yilong apart a thousand times over.
"Heh, you think I don't dare? Go ahead and try. Let's see who's bolder, you or my hand."
Tang Yilong said with a grim expression, pressing the knife deeper into Tang Xinyu's neck.
Tang Xinyu's skin was delicate and flawless. If he applied just a little force, her carotid artery would be severed immediately.
Li Yang clenched his fists. Seeing that Tang Yilong was serious, he immediately said, "Stop! I'll do as you say. Prepare a knife for me."
"Alright, there's one in that drawer over there. Go get it yourself."
Tang Yilong pointed to a drawer in the distance.
Li Yang walked step by step towards the drawer. Tang Xinyu shook her head worriedly, "Li Yang, don't. Don't worry about me, just leave. I can't drag you down."
"Yes, Li Yang, don't fall for Tang Yilong's trick. He's doing this to deal with you. Even if you die, he won't let us go. We have no regrets if we die here today. You must avenge us." Tang Hucheng said, looking at Li Yang.
"Uncle Tang, Xinyu, I won't just stand by and watch you die. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I won't give up."
Li Yang replied, walked to the drawer, and opened it. Indeed, he found several daggers of different styles inside.
He randomly picked one, stood up, and looked at Tang Yilong, saying, "Tang, I'll sever my own arms today. You must let them go. If you don't agree, I'd rather die with you today than be sacrificed in vain."
"No problem, I promise. Get to it!" Tang Yilong agreed sinisterly.
He thought to himself: As long as this brat cripples his own arms, who can threaten me here? Then all of you will die.
Li Yang gripped the dagger tightly, looked back at his arms, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He slowly drew out the dagger, raised it high, and plunged it into his own arm on the spot.
"Ah!"
Li Yang let out a piercing scream. As the dagger was pulled out of his arm, blood spurted out instantly.
"Hahaha!"
Tang Yilong was ecstatic seeing Li Yang actually cripple his own arm!
He couldn't believe Li Yang was ruined in his hands. All the grievances he suffered from Li Yang before could now be repaid.
"Are you satisfied now? Let Xinyu go first." Li Yang raised his head, enduring the pain and sweating coldly.
"You still have one arm left. It's impossible for me to let them go. Cripple your other arm, and I'll release both of them." Tang Yilong said with a cold laugh.
"Li Yang, no! He's lying to you. You can't listen to him!" Tang Xinyu was heartbroken and quickly shook her head, shouting at Li Yang.
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tang Yilong coldly, "You said it. I hope you won't go back on your word."
As his voice fell, he immediately acted, plunging the dagger fiercely into his other arm.
"Ah!"
Another scream echoed through the scene. The dagger in Li Yang's hand fell to the ground, and his arms were completely useless.
Seeing this, Tang Yilong's lips curved into a sinister smile, and he laughed heartily, "Li Yang, you never imagined you'd fall into my hands, did you?"
"Now that you're a cripple, your life is entirely in my hands. Do you know how long I've waited for this day?"
"I've already broken both my arms. Aren't you going to let them go?" Li Yang glared at him.
"Let them go? Let who go? You didn't really think I'd let those two go, did you? If I let them go, how could I be the head of the Tang family?"
Tang Yilong laughed twice and looked at Li Yang with disdain, "You're just stupid. You'd rather cripple your own arms for this woman, while I am the ultimate winner."
"Let me tell you, not only will I kill you today, but I'll also kill those two. That way, I won't have any rivals."
"I'll deal with you first, then slowly kill them!"
Saying that, Tang Yilong threw Tang Xinyu aside and slowly approached Li Yang with the knife.
Cold sweat beaded on Li Yang's forehead, his expression one of extreme pain.
He tried several times to pick up the dagger but failed.
Tang Yilong gradually came before him and sneered, "You want to pick up the dagger to kill me? Do you have the ability? You're just a cripple now. How you tormented me before, I will return it to you today."
Swish!
Tang Yilong reached Li Yang and directly stabbed at Li Yang's chest.
Li Yang's brow furrowed. Just as the blade was about to touch his chest, Li Yang suddenly shifted his body, easily evading Tang Yilong's attack. At the same time, he tapped the hilt of the dagger on the ground with his toe, and the dagger instantly flew into the air.
Before Tang Yilong could react, Li Yang smoothly grabbed the dagger's hilt and stabbed Tang Yilong twice in the chest in quick succession.
"Ah!"
Tang Yilong staggered back several steps. Unable to stand due to the intense pain, he sat down on the ground, blood continuously flowing from his wounds.
"How is this possible? You're fine? Didn't your hands get broken?" Tang Yilong asked in shock.
"Did you think I would fall for your trick so easily? I know your character too well. If I had truly listened to you, wouldn't I have harmed Xinyu and Uncle Tang for nothing?"
"I deliberately made the motion of cutting off my arms to lure you into attacking me. Now that you're a dying man, do you have anything else to say?" Li Yang glared at him coldly.
"Li Yang, you're smart. I never thought I, Tang Yilong, would fall into your hands!"
Tang Yilong was filled with regret. He wished he had killed Tang Xinyu first. But he overthought things and was too eager for revenge against Li Yang, which led him to fall for Li Yang's trap.
Now that he was subdued by Li Yang, having lost all his strength, he was filled with extreme remorse.
"Since you admit you've lost, we'll meet in the next life. You can die now."
A cold glint flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and the dagger in his hand instantly stabbed towards Tang Yilong's heart.
Just as Tang Yilong was about to die, Tang Hucheng suddenly shouted, "Li Yang, stop!"
Swish!
Li Yang's blade was only one centimeter away from Tang Yilong, freezing Tang Yilong's expression in terror. He suddenly stopped and turned to Tang Hucheng, "Uncle Tang, what is it? Don't you want revenge? Don't you want me to kill him?"
"He cannot die yet!"
Tang Hucheng, enduring his painful body, climbed up from the ground and slowly walked to Li Yang, saying, "He holds evidence against Ouyang Jue. If we kill him, we won't be able to deal with Ouyang Jue."
