The vast Cheng family was silent, no one dared to speak. Even the arrogant Cheng family disciples from earlier were now like beaten dogs, choosing to remain quiet.
Xiao Yunlong stood tall in the courtyard, hands behind his back, like a javelin. A powerful aura emanated from him, making him appear as a god of death in the eyes of the Cheng family members!
In less than half an hour, several luxury cars roared in from outside.
Dozens of men in tight-fitting clothes quickly jumped out of the cars and rushed into the courtyard. Cheng Tiantong was among them.
"Good, I never imagined, I truly never imagined!"
Cheng Tiantong gritted his teeth as soon as he entered. "You, Xiao, you so-called son-in-law of the Liu family, you actually dare to come here. And you, old man Liu Hongguo, your guts are truly too big!"
Xiao Yunlong demanded, "Where is Liu Ruyan? Where is she?"
"Bring her down!" Cheng Tiantong waved his hand, and immediately two bodyguards forcibly pulled Liu Ruyan out from the back seat of the car.
Her hair was a little messy, but it seemed Liu Ruyan had not suffered any substantial harm. Her hands were tied, and her face looked pale and haggard.
The Cheng family's target this time was Xiao Yunlong. Harming Liu Ruyan was merely a prelude. Now that Xiao Yunlong had arrived, they no longer needed to harm Liu Ruyan. Moreover, Cheng Tiantong still intended to marry Liu Ruyan to his foolish son.
Cheng Tiantong had brought over thirty thugs this time. Besides the seven or eight black-clad bodyguards beside him, the other twenty-odd were wearing training uniforms. They were agile, and their footwork was even more solid and steady than the black-clad bodyguards. They appeared to be martial artists.
Furthermore, they carried a strong aura of the underworld, suggesting they were masters specially invited by Cheng Tiantong from the martial world!
"Big... Big brother, you're finally back. This damned son-in-law of the Liu family, he actually, he actually crippled me! Big brother, you must avenge me!" Cheng Tianhe said hysterically through gritted teeth.
Cheng Tiantong's expression darkened completely. He waved his hand and said, "Anyone irrelevant, get out! I have some private matters to deal with today!"
As his words fell, the guests and servants of the Cheng family, as well as the onlookers outside the courtyard, all scurried away like startled mice.
Xiao Yunlong walked up to Liu Ruyan and untied the ropes binding her hands. "I'm truly sorry for implicating you and causing you to suffer. Are you alright?"
"Brother Xiao, what are you saying? I'm fine. They just captured me; they didn't do anything to me!" Liu Ruyan replied.
"Did your hair fall out?" Xiao Yunlong asked.
Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I wasn't harmed, but when they grabbed me, they did pull out some of my hair."
Xiao Yunlong nodded and waved his hand. "You get in the car first and wait for me there!"
"But Brother Xiao, the current situation..." Liu Ruyan did not move. She was undoubtedly very worried.
After all, they only had four people on their side, and her grandfather was still in his wheelchair. The Cheng family, on the other hand, had thirty to forty thugs. The situation was too unequal.
Xiao Yunlong smiled faintly at her. "I told you, as long as I'm here, no one in Su City can touch a single hair on your head. Get in the car!"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's heart warmed. She nodded slightly and then opened the car door to get in.
Liu Hongguo, sitting in his wheelchair, looked around and quietly said, "Old Meng, when the fight starts, if the situation turns bad, you immediately take the young lady and leave."
"How can that be? If we leave, wouldn't you and Mr. Xiao..." Steward Meng asked.
"I can't worry about that much. Do as I say!" Liu Hongguo sighed. At this point, their only hope was Xiao Yunlong; otherwise, they would all die.
Cheng Tiantong did not send anyone to stop Liu Ruyan. Of course, in his opinion, there was no need to stop her.
"You, Xiao, you have some skills, but do you really think this allows you to trample on my Cheng family at will?"
Cheng Tiantong sneered, then continued, "Do you know who these twenty-odd masters are? Let me tell you, they are all subordinates of Master Hong Shisan of the Hong Quan Sect. Master Hong Shisan is renowned in the underworld of Su City. If you're smart, you'll kneel down now and cripple your own hands. Perhaps I can spare your dog life."
"Cheng Tiantong, even if you have the backing of underworld forces, I warn you, if you dare to touch us today, my Liu family will never let this go. Also, before coming, I also called for backup, and they will be here soon!" Liu Hongguo shouted.
"Hahaha... You say you called for backup?"
Cheng Tiantong laughed to the sky, his mockery deepening. "So much time has passed, why haven't the people you called arrived? Let me tell you the truth, all your people have already been intercepted by Liu Jianmin. You're still counting on them to save you?"
"What did you say? Intercepted by Jianmin?" Liu Hongguo's expression changed.
Cheng Tiantong snorted coldly, "You old fool, you still don't realize your doom. After I deal with you today, Liu Jianmin will not only not seek revenge from me but will also thank me greatly. Now do you know how foolish you are?"
Liu Hongguo sat in his wheelchair, stunned, clearly unable to accept the reality before him.
Xiao Yunlong slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Cheng Tiantong, have you finished your nonsense?"
"You useless brat, you dare to be so arrogant when death is upon you! Hong Quan Sect masters, attack him! Take him down!" Cheng Tiantong waved his hand, and those twenty-odd martial artist thugs rushed forward in a swarm.
"You've only learned some superficial skills and think you're a master?"
Xiao Yunlong sneered and lightly tapped his foot. His entire body moved like lightning.
In an instant, the courtyard was filled with the sound of thuds. Wherever Xiao Yunlong went, these thugs were sent flying.
In just a few blinks of an eye, over twenty Hong Quan Sect thugs were lying on the ground with broken limbs and legs, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.
All the Cheng family members were stunned again. Cheng Tiantong's eyes widened, and he was frozen in place, his expression a mixture of shock and horror.
Xiao Yunlong clapped his hands and walked towards him step by step.
Cheng Tiantong suddenly wanted to run, but his legs trembled like sieve, making it impossible to move.
"These so-called underworld thugs are your reliance? How laughable. What other tricks do you have? Bring them all out!"
Xiao Yunlong walked directly in front of him, his expression always calm. In fact, he had never taken them seriously from beginning to end. They were not on the same level.
Suddenly, with a thud!
Cheng Tiantong knelt directly on the ground and begged, "I was wrong, Mr. Xiao, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have tried to attack you, nor should I have sent people to tie up Liu Ruyan. Please, be merciful and spare me this time!"
Xiao Yunlong looked down at him. "Originally, I didn't want to bother with a fly buzzing in my ear, but this fly had no self-awareness. Instead, it became more arrogant and successfully disgusted me!"
"Originally, a rotten fly could be swatted to death with ease, but it would dirty my hands. You are not worthy of dying by my hand!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is right. I am that fly. I am not worthy of dying by your hand!"
Cheng Tiantong repeatedly begged for mercy on the surface, but in his heart, he was thinking that once he escaped this ordeal, he would join forces with the Hong Quan Sect masters to destroy this bastard.
However, before Cheng Tiantong could finish his thoughts, Xiao Yunlong's next words struck him like lightning.
Xiao Yunlong said word by word, "I said, if Liu Ruyan's hair was harmed in the slightest, I would not let you off. I give you two choices: either you end yourself; or, I will exterminate your entire Cheng family. You have two minutes to consider!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong slowly turned around, too lazy to look at him again.
Cheng Tiantong's face turned ashen. He looked at the Hong Quan Sect thugs lying on the ground around him, then at the dozen or so direct descendants of the Cheng family behind him.
All the Cheng family disciples were huddled in the corners of the courtyard, not daring to breathe, let alone help. Even his foolish son dared not speak at this moment.
Cheng Tiantong despaired. He suddenly laughed wildly to the sky. "You, Xiao, I admit it. But if you kill me, the Hong Quan Sect will never let it go. Just you wait, Master Hong Shisan will personally kill you!"
After saying that, he picked up the knife from the ground and slashed it across his neck, then slowly collapsed in his own pool of blood.
