Chapter 84: Zhao Su, the Butcher of Men

The next day at noon, in full view of the citizens of the provincial capital and the seven prominent families including the Lu family, over five hundred members of the Liang and Xiang families were beheaded one by one at the gates of the magistrate’s office. Severed heads rolled across the ground, and blood dyed the road before the government building a vivid red.

Yesterday, when Zhao Su spoke in the private room of the Changsheng Pavilion, these powerful families had not felt much fear. But today, witnessing over five hundred heads rolling on the ground with their own eyes, they were so terrified that they nearly collapsed on the spot.

...

But now, the courage they had worked so hard to muster evaporated instantly, dissipating under the barrage of scolding and ridicule from elders and relatives.

Ao Er approached her with a lewd expression, saying, “Come, Longnier, let me show you a real treasure!” With that, he casually pulled out something thick and long.

Faced with Qin Qingrou’s reprimand, Li Tian exchanged a glance with the other man, and both burst into laughter.

Just as they got on the road, they noticed a car tailing them—a black Audi with pitch-dark window tint, completely obscuring any view of the interior from the outside.

The two massive stone golems were even more formidable than the Beast of Prey, their bodies composed of brown earth and stone, their features indistinct but vaguely present. Though there was no aura at their feet, when Old Bai pounced excitedly, one of the golems hurled a huge rock, knocking Old Bai out cold on the spot.

Everyone below erupted into laughter, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy—all fixed on Chu Yu.

After drinking her water and rinsing the cup, Qiao Yisheng stepped out of the kitchen, but instead of heading back upstairs, she paused by the door of Mia’s clinic.

After receiving my answer, He Zhongcheng carried his tray away, elated.

Well, it seems there’s little hope left. This is something done throughout the industry—it’s a genuine effort to help you master the requirements of consumer rights protection. The approach is sound and the demand reasonable, but the review period is simply too short.

The next day, near noon, Zhao Qi arrived at the Sheng Tang Group with his entourage, bringing with him the transfer agreement for ten percent of Lihao Group’s shares.

Perhaps sensing the murderous intent radiating from me, the two monsters simultaneously fixed their gaze on me.

I climbed onto his lap and buried my head in his arms. “You weren’t here,” I mumbled, my accusation muffled. Without Father, I found it hard to sleep soundly.

“My name is Gongsun Fan. But I’m curious—are you really an angel? If you are, then wouldn’t all cultivators in the Ninety-Nine Tribulations stage be angels, too?” Gongsun Fan introduced himself, but immediately followed with a barrage of questions.

Seeing Nie Shao charging over, Emperor Shitian could hardly wait. “Nie Shao, you killed my son—today, you will join him in death!” Emperor Shitian snorted coldly. Though Nie Shao’s aura had grown stronger, he had yet to grasp any principles of the Dao, which was an advantage for Emperor Shitian.

Before my visitation rights were revoked, under Uncle Hai’s hopeful gaze, Sister Ran led me through the gates of the Xu family and into Sister Xu’s room.

“Hmph!” Batian snorted. Close combat didn’t scare him; he charged straight in. The two figures collided again and again in the sky, sometimes accompanied by explosions. Strangely, though it was only a clash of flesh, the sound was like metal striking metal.

Iori Yagami was at a loss for words or actions, even more so than when he faced Anfenna.

Bronzed, smooth, flawless skin, a healthy and harmonious physique—were it not for the strikingly black wings on his back, the God of Destruction at this moment could have passed for an angel from the heavens.

Just then, the triumphant Oscar was suddenly startled. An enraged voice thundered from behind him.

Inside, there were two black boxes, looking much like oversized hard drives. However, one was silver, the other gold.
