"Miss Bai is the jewel in the palm of the top-tier Bai family. Her taking a liking to Li Xingye is already elevating him."
"Indeed. What qualifications does a mere pretty boy from a third-tier family have to reject the affections of the Bai family's eldest daughter?"
"Li Xingye is oblivious to the times and ungrateful. No wonder Miss Bai wants to destroy him!"
………………
Hearing Bai Bingyue's hysterical tirade, the young masters from influential families present began to mock Li Xingye.
It turned out that Bai Bingyue, consumed by love that turned to hate and unrequited affection, was now determined to kill Li Xingye!
Li Xingye, the heir of a third-tier family, dared to reject Bai Bingyue. He was truly courting death!
"Because the Li family is a third-tier family, I, Li Xingye, am forbidden to refuse you?"
"I, Li Xingye, must become a live-in son-in-law to the Bai family?"
"If I, Li Xingye, refuse you, then I must be annihilated by you, Bai Bingyue?"
Li Xingye suppressed his surging anger and questioned Bai Bingyue.
"That's right. Weakness is the original sin!"
"Li Xingye, you come from a third-tier influential family. Don't you understand this principle?"
"The rules of this world have always been made by the strong!"
"Whoever has the bigger fist has the right!"
"The Bai family is a top-tier influential family, and I, Bai Bingyue, am the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Forcing you to marry into the Bai family is an honor; you have no right to refuse me!"
"Li Xingye, since you heartlessly rejected me, Bai Bingyue, you should have the resolve to be destroyed by me!"
"I will not only destroy you, but I will also annihilate your entire clan!"
"Your beloved sister, Li Xingcai, has been kept like a pig by me for three years!"
"Now I plan to auction off her virginity, letting the scions of Ningjiang City ravage her!"
"Then, I will sell your sister into slavery, making her the most lowly of beings!"
"I, Bai Bingyue, want you to regret this, to die with your eyes open!"
Bai Bingyue spewed the most venomous words, roaring at Li Xingye with a contorted face.
The ugliness of human nature was laid bare on Bai Bingyue at this moment.
"Unrequited love has made you ugly, turned you into something unrecognizable!"
"No, that wasn't love at all; it was merely possessiveness!"
"A selfish woman like you is not fit to speak of love!"
"However, I must admit, there is one thing you said that is quite accurate."
"That is, the rules are made by the strong, and whoever has the bigger fist has the right!"
Li Xingye sneered.
Bai Bingyue was a shrewd woman, but also an extremist, a profoundly selfish, twisted individual!
However, he wasn't here to reason with Bai Bingyue. There was no point in talking sense with such a psychologically warped pervert.
"Boom!"
Li Xingye suddenly erupted, smashing a punch forcefully into Bai Bingyue's face.
Instantly, Bai Bingyue's eyes and nose collapsed, blood gushed out, her face twisted beyond recognition by the blow, a horrific sight, with no trace of her former icy beauty.
Since Bai Bingyue's psyche was already twisted, it was time to physically twist her body as well!
Make her even more unrecognizable!
The numerous young masters from influential families present were all stunned by what they witnessed!
Li Xingye's strike was ruthless, disfiguring Bai Bingyue with a single punch.
For the extremely vain and self-adoring Bai Bingyue, this was more cruel than killing her outright!
"Waa… even my father wouldn't dare hit me, and you dare?!"
"Bai family guards, cripple Li Xingye for me! I will personally torture him!"
Bai Bingyue, enduring the pain of her disfigured face, shrieked ferociously.
"Swish! Swish! Swish…"
From all directions of the Cloud Top Club, over a dozen Bai family guards charged out, all of them powerful martial artists. Without a word, they moved to attack Li Xingye.
"Bang bang bang…"
Before the martial artists could even reach Li Xingye, they were sent flying backward at even greater speed, crashing heavily to the ground.
In mere moments, all these Bai family martial artists were bleeding from all seven orifices and lay dead.
The entire place was in shock!
A deathly silence fell.
"How… how is this possible?"
Bai Bingyue's face turned ashen, her disbelief palpable.
Among these Bai family guards were ten Martial Apprentices and three powerful Martial Masters. Yet, they couldn't even withstand a single move from Li Xingye.
It was known that martial artists were formidable. A regular Martial Apprentice could single-handedly take on three bloodthirsty mercenaries.
And a Martial Master could kill battle-hardened mercenary kings as easily as slaughtering chickens.
However, Li Xingye killed these martial artists like he was slaughtering dogs!
No, it was easier than slaughtering dogs; it was like stepping on a swarm of ants.
Terrifying indeed!
A sinister smile played on Li Xingye's lips as he advanced step by step towards Bai Bingyue.
"You… what are you going to do to me?"
Bai Bingyue asked in terror.
At this moment, she finally sensed Li Xingye's dreadful power.
It seemed she had underestimated Li Xingye's strength all along.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you directly. I'll use your own methods against you, making you experience what fear and despair are!"
Li Xingye said with a smile.
"Using my own methods against me?"
Bai Bingyue was confused.
"You kept my sister like a pig for three years, so I'll make you a pig!"
Li Xingye chanted an incantation, then pointed a finger at Bai Bingyue.
Suddenly, something incredibly strange happened!
Under the eyes of everyone present, Bai Bingyue rapidly grew large pig ears, a pig nose, a pig belly, and a pig tail.
"Ahhh…"
"Bai Bingyue has become a monster with a pig's head and a human body! What kind of sorcery is this?"
All the young masters from influential families present screamed in shock, their faces filled with a look of seeing a ghost.
It was said that some ancient magic in the West could turn people into sheep or crows.
And in the ancient times of Long Country, there were also sorceries and immortal techniques that could transform people into animals.
They had thought Li Xingye had merely become a martial arts master and returned for revenge.
Unexpectedly, the plot took a dramatic turn!
Li Xingye suddenly unleashed ancient sorcery, transforming Bai Bingyue into a monster with a pig's head and a human body!
It was too shocking!
Incredible!
This was already a divine ability!
The eyes of all the present young masters from influential families now held a flicker of fear as they looked at Li Xingye.
"A pig? What pig?"
Bai Bingyue felt her head was swelling significantly and tried to reach up to touch her face.
Then, she was horrified to discover that her delicate hands had transformed into a pair of pig trotters.
Her proud slender waist had become a large, bulging pig's belly…
"Pig… monster!"
Bai Bingyue ran to a mirror and saw an ugly monster with a pig's head and a human body, a grotesque anomaly, and nearly fainted from fright.
"Li Xingye, you… what sorcery did you use on me?"
Bai Bingyue, with her ugly pig head, could still speak human words.
However, her speech had become slurred, like a pig demon just learning to speak.
In her eyes, looking at Li Xingye, there was only boundless terror.
She had expected Li Xingye's "using your own methods against you" to mean at most sleeping in a pigsty and eating pig feed.
She had never imagined Li Xingye would directly turn her into a pig-headed, human-bodied monster.
This punishment was a thousand, ten thousand times more terrifying than killing her outright.
"You kept my sister like a pig for three years, so I'll make you a pig monster for three years. Is that reasonable?"
Li Xingye taunted.
To deal with a woman who refused to reason, one had to use magic to defeat her.
"Li Xingye, you… kill me!"
Pig-headed Bai Bingyue's eyes were filled with despair. She had never expected Li Xingye to turn her into such a bizarre pig monster.
How could she face anyone now?
It would be better to be killed outright, and be done with it.
"Wanting to die? It's not that easy!"
"Not only will I not kill you, but I will let you return to the Bai family. I want you to watch with your own eyes as I destroy the entire Bai family, powerless to intervene, and live with regret for the rest of your life!"
Li Xingye spoke coldly.
The hatred for his father's murder and his clan's destruction was irreconcilable, an eternal feud.
"Li Xingye, you are so cruel, you are a devil from hell!"
Bai Bingyue finally broke down emotionally, letting out a roar like a pig's squeal.
"Devil? Perhaps!"
Li Xingye simply smiled faintly at the title of devil.
He was merely returning the pain that Bai Bingyue had inflicted upon him, tenfold!
People, they always fail to empathize, to understand others' pain.
They even build their shallow happiness upon the suffering of others.
Only when such pain befalls them do they know what it truly is!
Li Xingye intended to make Bai Bingyue know what heartbreak was, what fear and despair felt like!
