Time slowly trickled by, and the entire Peng Family Villa seemed to have fallen into silence, without any sound arising, the atmosphere oppressively tense to the extreme. As midnight slowly approached, everyone felt like their hearts were being clutched by an invisible hand, struggling for breath.
Bodyguards, fully armed, patrolled back and forth, silent but for the sound of their footsteps echoing in the dark, their gazes sharply scanning any movement in the grass and trees.
After what seemed like an eternity, the large clock hanging in the villa suddenly emitted a series of clear chimes.
Upon hearing the clock, Peng Tianhu and the others could not help but tremble involuntarily. It was now midnight. Would Lu Tianxing return?
Peng Tianhu lit a cigarette for himself, his fingers trembling. He was acutely aware of what might happen tonight. If he could not handle Lu Tianxing tonight, then the Peng Family would completely disappear from Xiangjiang from this day forward, and no one from his family would leave this villa alive.
While Peng Tianlong was in a state of panic, a hundred meters downhill from the villa, a person stood at the top of a tree, his gaze fixed on the brilliantly lit villa atop the hill, his lips curled into an exceptionally cold smile.
Standing beside Lu Tianxing, the Spiritual Superpower User, Mike, respectfully stood behind, not daring to show any disrespect.
"Commander, the Peng Family is but an ant, why bother handling it yourself? Allow me to do it. I guarantee they will die without anyone noticing," Mike said in a deep voice, standing beside Lu Tianxing. In his view, Lu Tianxing was the god of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps. It was too high a regard to have Lu Tianxing personally deal with the Peng Family.
"No need, I have already said I would personally eliminate the Peng Family, so I cannot disappoint them. Mike, your task is finished. You can go back to the Huang Family now. Leave the rest to me. After curing Huang Feiyu’s illness, you don’t need to return to Europe right away; stay with the Huang Family, I have plans for you."
A hint of excitement flickered in Mike’s eyes. Being favored by Lu Tianxing, he might have a chance to become one of the high-ranking members of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, wielding great power.
Lu Tianxing glanced at the distant villa, said nothing more, and his figure flashed, appearing directly on the road leading uphill. Since he dared to come, he never considered the Peng Family a threat, thus he did not need to sneak around. He wanted Peng Tianhu to witness the destruction of his family.
Seeing Lu Tianxing walking up from the foothills, the four bodyguards stationed at the gate immediately tensed, pulling out their weapons and aiming their guns at Lu Tianxing, ready to shoot at any disagreement.
Lu Tianxing looked at the four men, his expression unchanging. He twisted his body, and like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, he appeared instantaneously beside the four men.
The four had not expected Lu Tianxing to cross over ten meters in an instant and appear beside them. They didn’t even have a chance to shoot before Lu Tianxing struck each of them in the chest with a palm. After four consecutive palms, the bodyguards, like kites with broken strings, were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, their internal organs burst out in a spray of blood, lifeless.
Lu Tianxing’s gaze remained unchanged. Having resolved to annihilate the Peng Family, he naturally showed no mercy.
Looking at the closed gates of the villa, Lu Tianxing’s gaze steady, he waved his hand, and a stream of True Qi roared out, instantly conjuring a fierce wind that tore the iron gate to shreds.
Simultaneously, a cold, mocking voice echoed above the villa, "Peng Tianhu, I am here. I told you, at midnight, I would wash the Peng Family in blood, and none of you can escape. Clean your necks well, I will send each of you on your way."
In the villa, after hearing Lu Tianxing’s voice, Peng Tianhu’s body uncontrollably trembled for a moment, his face showing an unrestrainable fear. He had come, he had really come, and without any concealment, he even brazenly told them, "I am here."
Arrogant, it was simply too arrogant. Only two kinds of people could act . One was a fool, and the other was someone so confident he could annihilate you all, so there was no fear in letting you know. Clearly, Lu Tianxing was the second kind.
"This is outrageous, truly too much, who does he think he is? Does he really think my Peng Family has no one left? Dad, let me take people out and wipe him out," he said.
When Peng Tianbao heard this voice, his face revealed an uncontrollable fury. It was like a slap in the face to the entire Peng Family, too arrogant.
"You stop right there, sit here obediently, and don’t let anyone go out. If you dare to step outside, I’ll break your legs immediately," roared Peng Tianhu.
He had already lost one son and didn’t want to lose his last one. If Peng Tianbao died, the Peng Family would truly end.
Meanwhile, the battle outside had already erupted.
After Lu Tianxing blasted the main gate open with one move, he did not stop but walked straight ahead.
Following Lu Tianxing’s voice, the bodyguards Peng Tianhu had arranged around the villa quickly converged toward this area. Seeing the figure of Lu Tianxing, they did not hesitate at all and immediately began shooting.
All of a sudden, gunfire erupted. The specially designed bullets for martial artists, filled with a deadly aura, roared toward Lu Tianxing. The sight of so many bullets whistling past was something that could turn even a heaven-level martial artist into a sieve in an instant.
Lu Tianxing’s eyes showed no change. Watching a bullet aimed directly at his forehead, he flicked his finger, and the bullet returned back at a faster pace.
The brain of this bodyguard was instantly penetrated. Until his death, he couldn’t understand how he had died by his own bullet.
After killing one person, Lu Tianxing did not stop. He walked forward, bullets whistled towards him, and one by one, they were reflected back at an even faster speed, penetrating the chests of the bodyguards. A dense, bloody scent pervaded the area around the Villa, making it feel oppressive.
These bodyguards, whom Peng Tianhu had hired at great expense from the Underworld, had no power to resist in Lu Tianxing’s hands, as simple as crushing ants.
"Peng Tianhu, it seems your hired guns aren’t much to speak of. Stop struggling in vain, because today you are destined to die," Lu Tianxing said.
Lu Tianxing kept walking forward, while the bodyguards continuously backed away, their eyes filled with fear watching Lu Tianxing, because by the time he had taken his tenth step, there were already more than a dozen bodies behind him, essentially one step, one kill.
Fear was unmistakably etched on everyone’s faces. In their hearts, Lu Tianxing was no longer human but a complete devil. All bullets fired at him did no harm; instead, they became the bullets that took their lives, inciting unparalleled dread.
Lu Tianxing’s strength had reached a point where they couldn’t muster any will to resist.
