Chapter 582: Chapter 578 Tearing Apart the Nightmare

A fist!

Just one fist!

The Tan Family’s strongest patron had been smashed so thoroughly by Lu Tianxing that his meridians and bones shattered.

When he fell to the ground, Luo Hun was completely unable to get up, his eyes filled with disbelief as he gazed at Lu Tianxing, making gurgling noises in his throat, unable to believe that he, a former powerhouse at the Heavenly Peak standing at the top of the pyramid, had been defeated by a young man, let alone imagine that the person standing before him was a mythical-level martial artist.

"Why, why, this can’t be, this can’t be."

Luo Hun’s howling voice rang out, "I am an invincible martial artist at the Heavenly Peak, how can I lose, how could I possibly lose, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, who are you, who are you really, with such immense strength, you can’t just be some nobody, who exactly are you."

"Who am I, why should I tell you? I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t treasure it. Well, time is short, off you go!"

Lu Tianxing coldly swept his gaze over Luo Hun, too lazy to say anything more, and with a flick of his finger, he struck Luo Hun’s forehead, his potent True Qi piercing through his skull in an instant.

Luo Hun let out a loud roar, staring deathly at Lu Tianxing, his body jerked twice and then he died, breathless.

"He’s dead. He actually killed Luo Hun. Doesn’t he fear the Tan Family pulling out all the stops to retaliate?"

"Pulling out all the stops to retaliate, does the Tan Family have the guts? If they’re not afraid of being utterly eradicated, they’re welcome to try."

"The Tan Family is finished. Without Luo Hun, the Tan Family is nothing. This time the Lin Family has made a fortune."

"Made a fortune? Made a fortune my ass, Lin Zhanpeng had already fallen out with the Lin Family long ago, even snatching away the position of family head from Lin Anwu. Will Lin Zhanpeng’s son-in-law help the Lin Family? You might not know, but it was Lin Anwu himself who personally arrested Lin Zhanpeng and his wife and delivered them to the Tan Family."

With Luo Hun’s death, the others in the courtyard finally snapped out of their shock, looking at Luo Hun’s corpse with fearful faces and then at Lu Tianxing, who had slain the Heavenly Peak Luo Hun with a single strike, which could only mean his strength was at least at the Heavenly Peak level, perhaps even mythical-level.

Mythical-level martial artists.

At this thought, everyone couldn’t help but take a cold breath. Across the entire world, mythical-level martial artists in their twenties could be counted on one’s fingers!

Some shrewd people immediately instinctively distanced themselves from the Tan Family’s location and moved closer to the direction of Lu Tianxing, calculating in their minds how to establish a connection with him. With a mythical-level martial artist covering them, nobody could touch them. Among these people, no one noticed that in a corner, there sat a person with an extremely somber expression—this person was Lin Anwu.

Ever since Lu Tianxing appeared in the Tan Family Courtyard, Lin Anwu had been filled with a sense of ominous foreboding, and now it was clear that the events were unfolding just as he had feared. Lu Tianxing’s dominance had stifled the Tan Family, to the point where even their strongest patron had perished at Lu Tianxing’s hands.

At this moment, Lin Anwu was filled with regret. If he had known this day would come, he would have clung to Lin Zhanpeng at all costs. As long as Lin Zhanpeng remained with the Lin Family, combined with a mythical-level powerhouse like Lu Tianxing, the Lin Family could have completely overtaken the Tan Family in the future, becoming the true leading power in Hang City.

Unfortunately, the chance was gone now. It was Lin Anwu himself who had personally arrested Lin Zhanpeng and his wife and sent them to the Tan Family. Lin Zhanpeng had also made it clear he severed all ties with the Lin Family; Lin Anwu now only hoped that Lin Zhanpeng wouldn’t seek revenge.

Ignoring the surrounding shocked gazes, Lu Tianxing, after killing Luo Hun, slowly walked towards Tan Ran, who was sitting in the highest seat, and said tranquilly, "Now, can you please bring out my in-laws?"

At this moment, every person in the Tan Family lost their previous composure as if the sky were falling, and what replaced it was a deep sense of fear. Luo Hun was the Tan Family’s capital for dominating Hang City. The Tan Family’s rule over Hang City was all thanks to Luo Hun’s presence, suppressing all those with ulterior motives. But now that Luo Hun was dead, even if the Tan Family were to survive this calamity, other families in Hang City would not let them off. From now on, the Tan Family would likely become nothing more than a third-rate clan.

This was the terror of a top-level martial artist. Having a top-level martial artist could turn a third-rate clan into a first-rate one.

Feeling Lu Tianxing’s icy gaze, Tan Ran felt a chilling sensation as if the Grim Reaper himself was fixated on him, and eventually, he clenched his teeth and said, "Young man, don’t push your luck. Your strength may indeed be great, but sometimes strength doesn’t mean everything."

"Heh, pushing my luck, when your Tan Family thought to forcefully marry off my girlfriend and abducted my in-laws, didn’t you feel like you were pushing your luck? Or did you think that because your fists were bigger, it didn’t count as pushing it? Now that my fists are bigger, I don’t think I’m pushing it either. As for the part where strength doesn’t represent everything, you are right about that, however, that’s of no consequence."

Lu Tianxing sneered at Tan Ran, saying coldly, "I give you one minute to think it over, bring out my in-laws, or else from now on, the Tan Family will be erased from Hang City."

"You...."

The Tan Family members were enraged by Lu Tianxing’s words, furious to the point of explosion, yet they dared not make a move. Over the years, they had grown accustomed to ease and comfort, losing the will to fight desperately. Moreover, even Luo Hun, the strongest among the Tan Family, had died at the hands of Lu Tianxing. If they were to go up against him, wouldn’t that be no different from delivering themselves on a platter? They didn’t doubt that Lu Tianxing would kill them.

Lu Tianxing glanced at the Tan Family members, then turned away without paying them any further attention. Instead, he walked over to Lin Qianru and gently embraced the woman, whose face was pale with fear, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Qian Ru, it’s okay now, we’ll see our parents very soon."

When Lin Qianru heard Lu Tianxing’s words, she suddenly snapped back to reality and fiercely hugged Lu Tianxing’s waist, clinging on for dear life as if afraid he would disappear. During the fight between Lu Tianxing, Luo Hun, and the Tan Family members, her heart was in her throat, yet she dared not utter a sound lest she distract Lu Tianxing.

Now, seeing this man safe and sound, Lin Qianru couldn’t hold back the tenderness in her heart. She clung to Lu Tianxing as if wanting to fuse herself into his body, disregarding the stares of those around her. She tiptoed, lifted her head, and her lips descended like rain upon Lu Tianxing’s, as if to thank him with the kiss.

All the Tan Family members watched Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru kissing passionately, their eyes blazing with intense fury. Lin Qianru was supposed to be their future bride, yet here she was, kissing another man as if no one else existed. It was akin to a vicious slap on the Tan Family’s face, a disgrace, the greatest the Tan Family had ever suffered since its establishment.

A ferocious look flashed across Tan Ran’s face, his fingers gripping the armrest of the chair so tightly, he wished he could tear Lu Tianxing limb from limb.

"Have you thought it through? If not, how about I think it through for you?" Lu Tianxing said slowly, holding Lin Qianru in his arms, a bloodthirsty smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"You wouldn’t dare..."

Tan Ran’s complexion changed. He knew all too well what Lu Tianxing meant by ’thinking it through for him’—it clearly meant using the lives of the Tan Family members as leverage against him.

"I don’t think I would dare either, so I’m considering finding someone to try, don’t you agree?" Lu Tianxing said with a slight smile, nodding in agreement with himself as his gaze shifted across the Tan Family members, as if selecting a target.

All the Tan Family members, feeling Lu Tianxing’s gaze upon them, immediately fell silent as if stricken with terror, not even daring to breathe deeply, their eyes filled with dread as they watched Lu Tianxing, afraid that he would single them out.

"You..."

Intense anger flashed across Tan Ran’s face, but he dared not make any rash moves and could only coldly say, "Someone, take him to where Lin Zhanpeng and his wife are staying."

"Yes, Family Head."

The Tan Family Disciple that was called, full of reluctance, responded with a resigned tone but had no choice, heading towards the back of the courtyard.

"Qian Ru, let’s go! Time to bring our parents home."

Lu Tianxing held Lin Qianru, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Qianru nodded gently, her arms tightly holding his arm, as a proud smile graced her face.

This man had confronted the Tan Family head-on for her sake, daring to barge into the Tan Family Courtyard alone. He was the man Lin Qianru had decided upon, a towering and formidable man.

Arm in arm with Lu Tianxing, Lin Qianru let out a long breath, tilting her head slightly to look up at the sunshine above. It felt as though something heavy had lifted from her chest, a sudden sense of clarity breaking through.

"So this is what it feels like to bask in the sunlight," she murmured softly to herself. From now on, she could finally return to Hang City in the open, no longer living in fear. The dark clouds that had been looming over her were gone forever, the fog had dissipated, and with it, her nightmare.

Watching Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru head towards the back yard, Tan Ran fiercely smashed a teacup to the ground, his complexion ashen to the extreme. For so many years, no one had dared to humiliate the Tan Family like this. This was a humiliation the Tan Family would never forget, and he was determined to make Lu Tianxing pay the price.

With that thought, Tan Ran took out a mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number, ready to use other means if the Tan Family’s power couldn’t subdue Lu Tianxing. Since the Tan Family couldn’t handle him, the next step would be to resort to the power of the country. Even if they couldn’t eliminate Lu Tianxing, he wanted to ensure Lu Tianxing would live the rest of his life on the run like a dog, always in darkness, always with a target on his back.

"Director Sun, I need your help with something..."

If the Tan Family’s power wasn’t enough to deal with Lu Tianxing, then the power of the state would be employed. Even if they couldn’t finish off Lu Tianxing, he would make sure Lu Tianxing spent his life as a fugitive hounded dog, forever thriving in the shadows, eternally hunted.
