Li Xingye, with swift and decisive action, annihilated the leaders of the Black Wolf Gang, the Giant Shark Gang, and the Viper Gang, and then, with mere toothpicks, effortlessly killed numerous gang members.
From the formidable Double Flower Red Clubs to the ordinary grunts, all met their end in a single, clean strike.
"Too terrifying, he's a god of slaughter!"
"Run!"
Such brutal efficiency sent shivers of fear through the surviving gang members, who scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in a mad panic.
Li Xingye was too formidable, truly a terrifying god of slaughter!
"A rabble!"
Li Xingye sneered, making no move to pursue the fleeing gang members.
"Hmm? A killing intent!"
Just as Li Xingye turned to head back to his hotel's presidential suite to sleep, he sensed a murderous aura!
Li Xingye's eyes sharpened as he spotted a sniper on a skyscraper eight hundred meters away, aiming a sniper rifle at him.
This was a hidden assassin.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, a sniper round screamed through the air towards Li Xingye.
"Swish!"
Simultaneously, Li Xingye drew a delicate flying dagger and sent it hurtling through the air.
In an instant, the flying dagger met the sniper bullet in mid-air, sparks flying.
"Screech!"
The flying dagger directly sliced the sniper bullet in half, its momentum undiminished as it continued to speed towards the sniper's position.
"Swish!"
The flying dagger instantly pierced the sniper's forehead, killing him instantly and leaving his eyes wide in disbelief.
This ace assassin of the underworld could never have imagined that a flying dagger could be faster, more accurate, and more deadly than a sniper bullet!
After dispatching the sniper, Li Xingye quickly dealt with several other hidden assassins.
Only then did he leisurely return to his hotel's presidential suite.
That night, all the forces and assassins arranged by the Ten Great Noble Families were eliminated by Li Xingye.
Li Xingye slept soundly, while the heads of the wealthy families were unable to rest.
...
The next day, the Bai family held a grand centenary birthday banquet. Dignitaries and wealthy individuals from all walks of life gathered at the Bai family's manor to celebrate the Bai family patriarch's birthday.
The patriarchs of Ningjiang City's first-rate noble family, the Yuan family, and second-rate noble families, the Wang family, Nie family, and Ji family, along with third-rate noble families, the Cao family, Lu family, Chen family, Tu family, and Mi family, all personally attended, bringing generous gifts.
However, the faces of these ten great noble family patriarchs were grim, as if they had lost a son.
Last night, the Ten Great Noble Families had mobilized their vast network and resources, sending the three major gangs of the underworld to ambush Li Xingye and tear him to shreds.
The result was the death of all three gang leaders, and even Yuan Meili, the eldest daughter of the first-rate Yuan family, was killed.
The assassins they sent from the underworld were completely wiped out, with not a single survivor.
Now, the ten great families were not only enraged but also harbored a hint of fear.
Especially the second-rate and third-rate noble families ranked lower, they were filled with apprehension towards Li Xingye, this god of slaughter.
However, Li Xingye's mistake was in offending all ten great noble families at once.
In Ningjiang City, no one had ever been able to stand against the Ten Great Noble Families alone.
This was because the influence of the Ten Great Noble Families was deeply entrenched, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This time, attending the Bai family manor to offer birthday wishes were not only the patriarchs of Ningjiang City's Ten Great Noble Families but also high-ranking officials like the City Lord of Ningjiang City.
In addition, wealthy elites from all over the Dragon Country had traveled to celebrate the Bai patriarch's birthday.
Among them, even direct descendants of top-tier noble families were present.
Young ladies dressed in vibrant attire, adorned in their finery, mingled within the manor, taking photos.
The Bai family manor was adorned with lanterns and decorations, bustling with activity and festive cheer.
It seemed that Bai Bingyue being turned into a pig-headed monster had not affected the atmosphere in the slightest.
The head of the Bai family, Bai Chongshan, and his wife, Wen Yuwei, personally greeted guests, wearing polite, perfunctory smiles.
Bai Chongshan's wife, Wen Yuwei, was no ordinary person; she was from the Wen family, a top-tier noble family in Shanghai.
Furthermore, Wen Yuwei's younger brother was the patriarch of the top-tier Wen family.
Although the Bai family was a first-rate noble family, a preeminent clan in Ningjiang City, they were insignificant in comparison to the top-tier Wen family.
As the saying goes, a higher official can suppress a lower one.
It was the same among noble families; a difference in rank meant a world of difference.
The patriarchs of third-rate noble families dared not offend the direct descendants of second-rate noble families lightly.
The patriarchs of second-rate noble families had to be courteous towards the direct descendants of first-rate noble families.
The patriarchs of first-rate noble families had to show sufficient respect to the direct descendants of top-tier noble families.
Otherwise, their entire clans risked annihilation!
Three years ago, Li Xingye was exterminated because he refused Bai Bingyue.
The Dragon Country, with thousands of years of development, had deeply entrenched family powers that were difficult to overcome.
The fact that Li Xingye, who originated from a third-rate family, dared to offend both second-rate and first-rate noble families simultaneously was unprecedented.
Due to her status as a direct descendant of the top-tier Wen family, Wen Yuwei held an extraordinary and dominant position within the Bai family.
Even Bai Chongshan, the head of the Bai family, was submissive and seemed to shrink half a head in front of his wife, Wen Yuwei.
"Useless! You're still in the mood to host a birthday banquet when your daughter has been turned into a pig-headed monster!"
Wen Yuwei berated her husband Bai Chongshan, venting her displeasure.
Yesterday, upon seeing her daughter Bai Bingyue's pig-headed appearance, she had nearly fainted from shock.
After understanding the full story, she had sent people to apprehend Li Xingye.
However, the highly skilled individuals she sent had not returned all night; they were all dead!
"My dear wife, please give me some face in front of outsiders!"
"After the Old Master's birthday banquet, I will personally lead a team to capture that damned Li Xingye. Whether to kill or dismember him will be up to you to decide!"
Bai Chongshan was so submissive to Wen Yuwei, completely lacking the demeanor of a noble family patriarch, appearing utterly fawning.
He had no choice; he had married into a top-tier noble family and had to cater to them.
Moreover, this fawning had continued for decades, and he dared not offend her in the slightest.
"Patriarch Bai, that Li Xingye is too arrogant. He killed dozens of direct descendants of our Ten Great Noble Families. We implore the Bai family head to uphold justice and capture Li Xingye."
Mentioning the god of slaughter Li Xingye, Wen Yuwei's words immediately stirred the indignation of other noble family patriarchs.
The second-rate and third-rate noble families, lacking the power to deal with Li Xingye themselves, could only place their hopes on the first-rate Bai family.
"Three years ago, Li Xingye's entire clan was annihilated by your Bai family because he refused to become Bai Bingyue's live-in son-in-law."
"Li Xingye has returned for revenge!"
Yuan Chongjin, the patriarch of the first-rate Yuan family, clenched his fists and said angrily.
Li Xingye had returned to seek revenge against the Bai family, but his own Yuan family had first lost a son, then a daughter.
It was even more tragic than the Bai family's fate!
Yuan Chongjin, having failed to have Li Xingye pursued and killed, flew into a rage and unleashed his fury on Bai Chongshan.
If the Bai family had not destroyed the Li family three years ago, Li Xingye would not have returned for revenge today!
