"Are you going to commit patricide?" Mr. Hou was a little flustered and exasperated. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. For all his lifetime, he had been respected by others and he enjoyed that feeling. Moreover, he could not accept the feeling of being admired and revered by others being destroyed. This was also the reason why he would make a gamble on the last part of his life by disregarding the Hou Family's future. This gamble had cost him his grandson.
From this incident, it was evident how much Mr. Hou cared about his legend and how much he desired to be admired by others. However, his own son was now opposing him, and he actually wanted to kill him. This was the greatest blow to Mr. Hou. The matter he could not stand the most was not life and death but losing the respect others had for him.
Hou Yangsheng walked toward Mr. Hou and pulled out a dagger from his clothing.
Mr. Hou looked into Hou Yangsheng's eyes and a
Lin Huai's strength had just entered the middle of the Unobservable Energy Stage, but Ximen Wuming's strength had already reached the peak of the Unobservable Energy Stage. Ximen Wuming could definitely be considered a top cultivator among the peak Unobservable Energy Stage cultivators and was only one step away from the Neutralizing Energy Stage.Lin Huai's speed, strength, and agility stunned all the spectators. Even in movies, the battle scene seemed impossible because Lin Huai's speed was probably difficult to capture even with video cameras.Just like when Li Xiaolong was filming a movie in his early years, the crew had to make Li Xiaolong slow down take after take. The feeling of watching every punch landing on the opponent was even more exciting than those exaggerated martial arts moves in television series.Every time Lin Huai took a step forward, there would be a loud thud as if something dropped to the ground. With every punch,
The moment Lin Huai delivered the attack, he felt like hitting cotton. Just as he was about to exert unobservable energy, Ximen Wuming had already flown away.On the surface, it seemed that Lin Huai had sent Ximen Wuming flying with his attack, but Ximen Wuming flew away right after Lin Huai touched him. It meant that Lin Huai had not caused any harm to Ximen Wuming.Lin Huai had been working in the martial arts world for so long. Besides the battle with his ex-leader at the security company, he had never lost his confidence in a battle like he had this time. Ximen Wuming's strength almost surpassed the scope of the Unobservable Energy Stage. Even if Lin Huai met an ordinary master at the peak of the Unobservable Energy Stage, he felt that his attack just now would not be completely futile. This showed that although Ximen Wuming had not yet stepped into the Neutralizing Energy Stage, he was very close to breaking through Neutralizing Energy Stage. Th
Just as Ximen Wuming's palm was about to land on the top of Lin Huai's head, a sonic boom rang out. It was as if the air was being torn apart. Ximen Wuming instinctively ignored Lin Huai and tried to grab the hidden weapon but failed. Then, with a poof sound, something had completely pierced through his shoulder.Ximen Wuming lightly snorted while looking down to see what kind of hidden weapon it was. His pupils instantly contracted when he saw that it was a leaf and that the leaf had almost penetrated his shoulder!What kind of strength was that? It was fortunate that the leaf had hit his shoulder. He probably would have died if it had hit his head or throat. Injuring someone with a leaf seemed like a plot that was only seen in TV series!Lin Huai and the others were also in a state of shock. Wasn't using leaves as bullets a bit too terrifying?"Who are you?" Ximen Wuming's voice trembled a bit. Ximen Wuming, who had always
Was this only thirty percent of his strength?Ximen Wuming did not have time to think about that. He took a deep breath and gathered all the strength in his body into a counterstrike.The layers of waves finally reached and swept in front of Ximen Wuming. Coincidentally, Ximen Wuming's palms hit the waves. All of his strength was exerted from his palms. Then, he finally shattered the first layer of waves, but the layers after were higher than the previous layer. Ximen Wuming felt the waves kept crashing into his body and moving around inside him.Ximen Wuming spat out a large mouthful of blood and retreated several steps. Then, he spat out several mouthfuls of blood again as the clothes on his body began to crack inch by inch. In the end, only a few broken cloth pieces were left hanging on his body, revealing traces of cuts on his body. When he finally stopped, he fell to his knees with a thump. His entire body was covered in blood and h
Lin Huai was lying in the hospital ward, and Zhang Xinyan happened to be on duty today. When his operation ended and he was lying on the hospital bed, she said with some distress, "Have a good rest tonight. I won't disturb you. If you need something, just ring the bell."Lin Huai said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Stay here and let's talk for a few minutes."After hesitating for a moment and seeing that Lin Huai's was in a good mental state, Zhang Xinyan agreed and sat down on the companion bed. Then, she complained, "You've just left for a few days. Why did you come back so quickly?" Lin Huai smiled embarrassedly and said, "I also feel embarrassed about that."Zhang Xinyan originally felt sympathetic and distressed for Lin Huai. However, when she saw Lin Huai's hilarious appearance, she couldn't help but laugh. Then, she saw him reveal a resentful expression and couldn't help but roll his eyes at her while complaining, "I'm alrea
Looking at the mad Mr. Hou, Lin Huai suddenly felt sad, but he did not feel sympathy for Mr. Hou.Lin Huai said, "Mr. Hou, I can give you another chance. Give me your intelligence network and connections."After hearing that, Mr. Hou sneered. "Then you'll spare my life, right? I'm already so old, and I've completely lost this battle. Do you think my life is still important to me?""Maybe it's not important to you." Lin Huai said, "Perhaps death is the greatest relief for you, but I don't believe that you want the Hou Family to have no descendants in the future."Mr. Hou looked a little shaken. He hesitated momentarily and asked, "You mean you'll let go of my son Hou Yangsheng?""That's right." Lin Huai said, "You once had a chance. If you chose to submit to The General, Hou Liang would not have died, and you could live the rest of your life peacefully. Now is the second time you've faced this choice. There are n
Initially, Liang Huaian did not know what kind of attitude Can Lang had toward this situation. Hearing Can Lang say that made his eyes light up. He said excitedly, "That's right. In the beginning, Lin Huai bode his time and then came to pick up the fruits of our labor. He is taking advantage of us. Mr. Can Lang, I also think that he's not being fair in this. You should preside over the overall situation."Can Lang said, "I intend to find Lin Huai tonight to have a meal and distribute Tongcheng's territory. The two of you will each take one half. Do you think that is fair?"Liang Huaian's eyes lit up. In fact, he had suggested acting with Lin Huai at the beginning and that they would each take half of the territory to let The General rest assured. However, he was actually trying to plot against Lin Huai in the process of their cooperation, but Lin Huai had moved too fast. He did not find the opportunity to do anything. Now, he felt that it was the bes
A day had passed. During that day, The General called Lin Huai twice, but Lin Huai did not pick up.Lin Huai knew his actions would anger The General. However, he needed time, and delaying was his only option. It would be very troublesome for him if he released Can Lang and the others now. Thus, he had to wait until the overall situation was settled before he could release them.Therefore, when Lin Huai arranged to have them captured, he didn't intend to keep everyone locked up. At least Can Lang and the others had to be released. Otherwise, he and The General would have to shed all pretense of cordiality. It was obvious that he could not do so now.Although Lin Huai had the entire Tongcheng under his control, he wouldn't be that arrogant as to think he was comparable to The General. Not to mention how terrifying The General's strength was, just Can Lang alone was not someone he could deal with. If Can Lang was determined to kill him, wh
