Thump!
Guan Longxing fell to the ground, staring blankly at Ye Ling, his brain having ceased to function.
The scene before him had completely surpassed his comprehension.
Was this still human?
Ye Ling brushed aside the bullet and said calmly, "You all follow me inside."
With that, Ye Ling strode forward.
"Hurry up and follow! Don't drag down the immortal!" Du Yameng had witnessed Ye Ling's methods before and was mentally prepared this time. She was the first to follow behind Ye Ling.
The two snipers in the villa seemed unconvinced. They each fired another shot at Ye Ling and Du Yameng.
Bang! Bang!
The gunshots rang out again, flames erupting from the muzzles. Two bullets were fired almost simultaneously, heading straight for Ye Ling and Du Yameng's heads!
However, just like before, the two bullets stopped in mid-air, motionless!
"This is a monster!!!"
The two snipers were terrified by Ye Ling's display. They shivered all over and quickly packed their firearms, intending to retreat.
Ye Ling raised his hand and flicked the two bullets.
"Go."
The two bullets returned the way they came, precisely piercing the foreheads of the two snipers.
Blood stained the curtains red.
"Who is this guy?"
The few armed thugs hiding behind the door and watching the monitor screens were stunned by Ye Ling. They no longer dared to stay put and were about to flee.
Bang!
Unfortunately, before they could escape, the villa's alloy security door was kicked open by Ye Ling.
One thug was pinned under the door. The other three thugs shivered in fear, hastily raising their guns and stammering, "D-don't move!"
Ye Ling glanced at the three, instantly appearing before one thug and slamming his head into the nearby wall. Before the other two thugs could even fire, they were entangled by dark energy surging from Ye Ling, their arms being torn apart!
Screams echoed through the villa. The more than ten thugs upstairs heard the commotion on the first floor and rushed down, shouting, "What happened?"
Seeing the more than ten people descending from upstairs, Ye Ling's lips curved slightly, a hint of brutality flashing in his eyes.
...
On the eighth floor of the Du family villa, in Du Sheng's room.
"Old man, no one can save you now. Change the will according to my wishes, and only then can Du Qiu live." Du Xia, dressed in a suit, sat on the sofa, took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a smoke ring, and narrowed his eyes as he spoke to Du Sheng lying on the hospital bed.
"Big brother, why are you doing this?" Du Qiu, tied to the corner of the wall, tried to persuade Du Xia. "Dad is already critically ill and can't withstand any more trouble. Are you being fair to Dad by doing this?"
Hearing Du Qiu's plea, Du Xia's expression turned extremely ferocious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up!"
"If it weren't for you, you scoundrel, constantly acting filial in front of this old immortal, would you have gotten the position of family head?"
"I am the eldest in this family, and I should be the next Du family head. Why should it be you?"
Du Xia was extremely disgusted with Du Qiu, and his temper exploded. He picked up the gun on the coffee table and walked towards Du Qiu.
"Big brother, no!!!" Zhuang Yun, tied next to Du Qiu, cried out to Du Xia, trying to stop him. Zhuang Yun was Du Yameng's mother and Du Qiu's wife. She usually lived in the villa with Du Qiu and took care of Du Sheng's daily life. She was from an ordinary family and fell in love with Du Qiu. However, Du Xia had always believed Zhuang Yun married into their family for their wealth. For over thirty years, Du Xia had never treated Zhuang Yun as a sister-in-law.
"Get lost!" Du Xia roughly kicked Zhuang Yun away and pressed the gun to Du Qiu's forehead. "You're so filial, aren't you? I'll kill you, you dog, today, and then I'll send that old immortal down. You can be filial to him down there!"
"You beast!" Du Sheng, lying on the hospital bed, seeing Du Xia's actions, cursed angrily, "I never thought the Du family could raise a creature worse than a pig or a dog like you!"
"Truly, my family is unfortunate!" Du Sheng's face turned red. He tried to get up from the bed, but the two thugs beside him held him down tightly.
Du Xia's eyes were now completely red. He pressured Du Sheng, "Old man, stop talking nonsense. If you don't change the will, I'll kill your filial son immediately!"
"You!!!" Du Sheng was so angered by Du Xia that he coughed up blood. His face turned extremely pale, looking as if he could die at any moment. However, Du Xia remained unmoved by Du Sheng's condition and said coldly, "Old man, the paper and pen are right in front of you. Later, we'll take a video. If you don't finish these before you die, I'll send Du Qiu to accompany you."
"Anyway, if I kill him, the position of family head will still be mine."
Hearing Du Xia's words, Du Sheng knew he could no longer resist. He slumped like a deflated balloon and said in a low voice, "I... will write."
Du Sheng sighed heavily, picked up the pen with a trembling hand, and began writing a new will on the paper.
"Big brother! You're crazy!" Du Qiu glared at Du Xia and said coldly, unafraid of the gun pointed at his head. "How can you face our deceased mother!"
"I am crazy," Du Xia chuckled, unfazed by Du Qiu's gaze. After Du Sheng finished writing the will, he would die of illness. Du Qiu would also die of a sudden heart attack due to excessive grief.
"L-L-Leader! It's bad! Something's happened!!!" At this moment, a panicked burly man rushed to the doorway of the room and said to Du Xia in terror.
Seeing the burly man's expression, Du Xia frowned slightly and asked coldly, "What is it?"
The burly man with a face full of flesh panted heavily, his eyes filled with fear, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He stammered, "It's... it's Du Yameng... she brought people in!"
Du Xia, who had been in a somber mood, thinking something major had happened, burst into laughter upon hearing the bald man's words.
"What is it? Just a mere girl. If she broke in, she broke in. What can her bodyguards do?" Du Xia said dismissively. "Tell the brothers to capture her alive!"
"N-no..." The burly man was already too scared to speak properly. Seeing that Du Xia did not grasp the severity of the situation, he became more anxious. He had personally witnessed Ye Ling tear apart dozens of their brothers by himself! Now, the hallways on several floors were filled with corpses and blood. Everyone they brought here, except for those in this room, had been killed by Ye Ling alone!
The burly man said in terror, "Leader, it's... ah!"
As the burly man spoke, a bloody hole appeared out of nowhere in his chest.
Unable to speak, the burly man slowly lowered his head, looking at his chest with a look of horror. Then, under the shocked and confused gazes of everyone in the room, he collapsed into a pool of blood.
"What is this thing?" Du Xia's scalp tingled at the burly man's sudden death. He quickly grabbed Du Qiu and used him as a shield, holding the gun to Du Qiu's head. The eight armed thugs in the room also raised their guns, staring intently at the doorway as if some monster was about to appear.
No one knew how the burly man had died. The room became eerily silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the person behind the door to appear.
At this moment, Ye Ling, his clothes spotless, walked in through the doorway with great composure. Behind him followed the stunned Du Yameng and the four bodyguards.
Ye Ling glanced at the nine people holding guns in the room and said lightly, "Xiao Ya, this million-dollar favor is now repaid."
As Ye Ling's words fell, all the weapons in the room instantly turned to dust!
