Today, None of You Will Leave Here Alive!

The woman stared at Ye Tian, her body suddenly trembling violently.

"Xiao Tian!"

"My son!"

The woman let out a wail, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom!"

"Your son came back too late. You've suffered because of me!"

Ye Tian crawled two steps on his knees and wrapped his arms around the woman's legs, bursting into tears.

"My son, Mom knew you were still alive."

"You're finally back!"

"I missed you so much!"

The woman held Ye Tian's head, overcome with joy.

Tears streamed down her face without end.

Just then, however, a jarring voice suddenly rang out beside them.

"Fuck you, who the hell are you?"

"Pay me for my excavator!"

The man in the floral shirt kicked at Ye Tian, his face full of malice.

Ye Tian didn't even turn his head, but a terrifying killing intent suddenly descended upon the man.

Hadn't he just ordered the excavator to run Ye Tian's mother over and kill her?

How could the mother of the mighty Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor be bullied by an ant?!

Bang!

Ye Tian struck the man's leg with a backhanded punch.

"Ah, my leg!"

The man in the floral shirt let out a piercing scream and fell to the ground.

One of his legs had twisted strangely at the knee, and every bone in it had shattered.

"Brother Dog!"

The thugs nearby were shocked and hurried over to help the man in the floral shirt up.

Cold sweat poured down the man's face from the pain, and he howled like a pig being slaughtered.

"Kill him! Kill him for me!"

The thugs cracked their knuckles and swaggered toward Ye Tian.

"Fuck! You dare hurt Brother Dog?"

"Today, we'll skin you alive!"

Ye Tian's mother, Song Qin, was terrified.

She hurriedly turned to the thugs, her face full of pleading, and said urgently,

"Please, don't hurt my son."

"I'll let you tear down the house. I'll let you tear it down, isn't that enough?"

Hearing his mother plead, Ye Tian felt as though a knife were twisting in his heart.

Just now, to protect the old house, his mother had refused to give so much as an inch, even if it meant being crushed beneath the excavator.

But now, to protect him, she was offering to let them tear it down.

In his mother's heart, he was worth even more than her own life!

A mother's love was as mighty as a mountain!

How could Ye Tian ever repay it?

Ye Tian clenched both fists, his rage surging to the heavens.

He was the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor, looking down upon the nine heavens and the universe, revered by the myriad races.

But if he couldn't even protect his own family, what was the point?

"Mom, you don't have to beg them!"

"Your son is back."

"Leave everything to me."

Wearing an incomparably gentle smile, Ye Tian slowly rose to his feet.

But Song Qin grabbed his arm and shook her head again and again.

"Xiao Tian, don't!"

"They're all thugs from town. They're ruthless!"

"Go, quickly! Even if I die, I'll protect you!"

With that, Song Qin stretched out both arms and shielded Ye Tian behind her.

Her gaze was resolute as she shouted at the thugs,

"If you've got the guts, come at me!"

"Don't hurt my son!"

"Or I'll fight you with my life!"

Song Qin's words cut Ye Tian's heart like a knife, leaving him unspeakably distressed.

He had already grown up!

He was half a head taller than his mother.

Yet his mother still shielded him behind her, just as she had when he was a child.

Whoever dared hurt him, she would fight with her life.

A woman might be weak, but motherhood made her strong!

He looked at his mother's frail figure as she stood firmly in front of him.

She would rather die than let anyone hurt him.

Tears rolled down Ye Tian's face once more, and he choked out,

"Mom, your son has grown up."

"Before, you and Dad sheltered me from the wind and rain."

"Starting today, let your son hold up the sky for you!"

With that, Ye Tian turned his icy gaze on the thugs, sharp as a blade.

"For bullying my parents, you wouldn't be forgiven even if you died ten thousand deaths."

"Every last one of you—today, none of you will leave here alive!"

"Fuck you, I'll kill you!" How could the thugs take Ye Tian's words to heart?

They swung the clubs in their hands and charged at him, hurling curses.
