Boom!
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out, incomparably clear!
The force of that kick was so terrifying that the entire platform caved in.
As the dust dispersed, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
Lin Chen's neck had snapped completely.
The connection between his head and body had gone limp, with no bone left to support it.
Blood bubbles filled Lin Chen's mouth and kept spraying out. He still had even a little bit of breath left.
"Bastard... my bro definitely won't... let you... go..."
"Oh? You still dared to threaten me?"
Seeing this, Shen Wuxiao crouched down and punched him in the head again and again.
"You still threatened me!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every punch struck like a drumbeat, shaking everyone to the core.
Blood splattered everywhere, a horrifying sight!
This time, Lin Chen completely lost all signs of life.
Only then did Shen Wuxiao slowly rise and extend his hand.
Uncle Wu swiftly handed him a wet towel, the shock in his eyes still not faded.
How had Young Master suddenly become so strong? He was even stronger than Uncle Wu.
"Drag him away. Oh, right, stab the soles of his feet a few times. I read in a book that some people's hearts grow in the soles of their feet!"
"Don't let him come back to life!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Uncle Wu waved a hand, and someone immediately came up to drag Lin Chen's corpse away.
The bloody trail left across the platform deeply shocked everyone's eyes.
Shen Wuxiao let out a breath, wiping the blood from his hands. A smile rested on his face as his gaze swept over the scene.
The venue was silent as a grave, save for the sound of people swallowing.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Kill the Son of Destiny. Reward: one million points." "From accepting the mission to completing it took less than half an hour. Special reward: a gift pack containing a random Martial Skill, weapon, and medicinal pill. It may be opened at any time."
Having received the system's response, Shen Wuxiao was in no hurry to study those things.
He slowly spoke. "Everyone, I have made a spectacle of myself!"
As he spoke, Shen Wuxiao looked toward Liu Qingqing, who was on the ground.
He jumped down from the platform as well, utterly unconcerned with appearances, and plopped down beside Liu Qingqing.
He lifted the towel stained red with blood and wiped away the tears in Liu Qingqing's eyes.
"I'll sit with you for a while. Let's have a chat, alright?"
Liu Jinshu had also been badly frightened and was about to speak up in persuasion.
But Shen Wuxiao's gaze suddenly turned toward him, making him shudder. He did not dare even breathe loudly.
Only then did he realize that the man before his eyes had always been a Young Master who stood high above all others.
When he liked Liu Jinshu's daughter, they were his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Now that things had become like this, they were merely ants.
But was this realization a little too late? Unease inevitably rose in his heart.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid. We're just chatting!"
"I want to ask you, am I ugly?"
Shen Wuxiao's words brought Liu Qingqing back to her senses, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Suppressing her fear, she shook her head.
Not only was Shen Wuxiao not ugly, he was exceptionally handsome. Those so-called top celebrities could not compare to him at all.
"Then is my family background poor?"
Liu Qingqing still shook her head.
If Shen Wuxiao's family background was considered poor, then no one in the entire Dragon Kingdom would dare claim to have a good family background.
If the Shen Family called itself second, no one dared call themselves first.
Not to mention that some of the Shen Family's Grandmaster martial artists were pillars of the nation's upper ranks.
Whether guarding the borders or resisting exotic beasts, the Shen Family accounted for a major share.
"Since that is the case, then were my feelings for you sincere or false?" Shen Wuxiao asked again.
Tears filled Liu Qingqing's eyes as she nodded, trembling all over.
Shen Wuxiao had truly given her his heart and soul. He granted nearly every request she made. It was not merely kindness—it was outright indulgence!
Shen Wuxiao sighed. "I'm handsome, my family is powerful, my status is high, and I have showered you with affection."
"How many pounds of shit had entered your brain for you to disdain me and love that Lin Chen to death?"
Liu Qingqing froze, left speechless.
She had always been spoiled and arrogant, to the point that she had practically forgotten Shen Wuxiao's identity.
As for Shen Wuxiao himself, perhaps he had read too many romance novels and wanted to experience a sweet love affair.
As a result, many people had forgotten the brutal side Shen Wuxiao once possessed.
After his personality changed, people assumed he had always been easygoing.
"Qingqing, I brought you and your family countless resources. You had status, wealth, and power. Your family rose to the heavens in a single step because of you."
"Not to mention anything distant. Even if Zhonghai's Top Leader came, he would have to respectfully call you Young Madam. I gave you an opportunity, and this was how you used it?"
Liu Qingqing finally came to her senses.
It was as though a basin of cold water had been poured over her, making her realize the situation.
She thought of how Shen Wuxiao had treated her over the past two years, and how she had treated Shen Wuxiao in return.
Yet from beginning to end, he had never said much about it.
A Young Master from a top-tier family had obeyed her every word.
A man like that could not be found anywhere, yet she had met one. But she had forcibly pushed him away and resolutely chosen Lin Chen.
Did she have feelings for Lin Chen?
She did, but they were faint!
Perhaps it had been the novelty, or perhaps she had become obsessed with his sense of mystery after he had played Hero Saves the Damsel many years ago.
In any case, even she could no longer see it clearly.
But now, the dream had ended!
Could she still go back?
"Wuxiao..." The tears in Liu Qingqing's eyes burst through the dam as she looked at the man before her.
Liu Qingqing slowly rose, changing from her seated position on the ground to kneeling.
She knelt just like that before Shen Wuxiao.
"I'm sorry... I know I was wrong. Please give me one chance. I'll marry you. Let's get married, alright..."
"From now on, I'll listen to you. I'll only love you. I'm sorry..."
Liu Qingqing clutched Shen Wuxiao's trouser leg and begged for forgiveness!
The smile on Shen Wuxiao's face grew increasingly eerie, chilling everyone to the bone, yet his tone remained as gentle as ever.
"Good girl... don't cry. If you keep crying, your eyes will swell, and you won't be pretty anymore!"
He raised a hand and gently wiped away Liu Qingqing's tears before circling behind her.
It seemed as though a sinister wind had swept through the venue, sending chills down everyone's back.
They watched Shen Wuxiao extend his hands behind Liu Qingqing and embrace her from the rear.
His hands moved upward, eventually settling one on Liu Qingqing's shoulder while the other rested against her face.
"Wuxiao..." Liu Qingqing was frightened and had no Sense of Security.
"I'm here. I've always been here!"
As he spoke, Shen Wuxiao slowly hooked his hand around Liu Qingqing's neck.
From his posture, he appeared to be gently hugging her from behind.
"Qingqing, I want to hold you... You always refused me before. Don't refuse me today, alright? My heart will hurt."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Wuxiao's arm suddenly exerted force.
He directly locked Liu Qingqing's neck in a deadly chokehold.
Liu Qingqing's eyes flew wide open as she began struggling madly.
Her long legs kicked wildly against the ground.
A smile remained on Shen Wuxiao's face as his arm tightened further. "Take a deep breath. Feeling dizzy is normal..."
The Liu Family was frightened senseless, especially Liu Qingqing's parents. They screamed and rushed forward.
But before they could take two steps, Shen Wuxiao's men kicked them back.
They wanted their family's martial artists to intervene, but after looking at Uncle Wu, they gave up.
Their foundation was too shallow; they had no way to contend with him. All they could do was pray that Shen Wuxiao was merely administering a slight punishment.
"Ugh..."
"Ah..."
Liu Qingqing's face flushed crimson, her eyes bulging and bloodshot.
A hoarse, coughing rasp came from her throat.
Her hands frantically beat against the hand Shen Wuxiao had wrapped around her neck.
The scene was deathly silent, with only the sounds of Liu Qingqing struggling and kicking against the ground.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds!
Time flowed soundlessly onward.
Liu Qingqing's movements grew weaker and weaker. Her slapping hands fell limp, her legs lost their strength, and they gradually stopped moving.
She was clearly no longer breathing.
Shen Wuxiao did not release her. Instead, he gently leaned in from behind and planted a kiss on Liu Qingqing's cheek.
With deep affection in his eyes, he softly said, "Baby, take a good sleep and everything will be fine!"
"From now on, your world will have only me. No one will interfere with our relationship anymore!"
After saying that, his arm gently shifted. One hand pressed against the top of her head, then he violently twisted it to the right!
Crack~
A crisp sound rang out. Liu Qingqing's body trembled once, then went completely still.
The Liu Family members covered their mouths one by one, tears silently rolling down their faces.
Some were so frightened that they wet themselves on the spot.
The other guests were even more terrified.
They feared Shen Wuxiao had Gone Mad and would begin slaughtering people at random!
Shen Wuxiao slowly stood up and draped the bloodstained towel over Liu Qingqing's already grotesque face.
His smile returned as he looked at everyone and clapped his hands.
"Everyone, how did you enjoy today's show?"
Everyone lowered their heads. No one dared respond.
A madman. An absolute madman!
Shen Wuxiao's voice dropped several degrees. "How did you enjoy the show?"
Someone was so terrified that they could not help replying, "Young Master Shen, you must be joking. There was no show today!"
"Didn't Young Master Shen invite us here specifically to celebrate your advancement to Grandmaster?"
The others suddenly understood. "Ah, right, right, right! Congratulations to Young Master Shen for becoming a Grandmaster!"
"Congratulations to Young Master Shen on advancing to Grandmaster! A joyous occasion indeed!"
The people at the scene began echoing the sentiment. Some quick-witted guests even ran to the side and tore down every trace of the character for "double happiness."
"Good, thank you for your congratulations!" Shen Wuxiao smiled. "Now then, the banquet is over, so I will not keep you any longer!"
Hearing this, the guests felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted. They hurriedly began bidding Shen Wuxiao farewell!
Some Liu Family members tried to flee amid the chaos, but they were all captured and dragged back.
Once all the irrelevant people had left, the venue fell silent again.
Only the Liu Family members and Shen Wuxiao's thugs remained.
Shen Wuxiao looked at the Liu Family and could not help shaking his head.
"Back when Qingqing became engaged to me, the Liu Family basked in her glory!"
"Now that she has done something so shameless, her family must naturally be punished along with her!"
"If a great family wishes to prosper, then all must share glory and all must share ruin!"
"Are you ready?"
Shen Wuxiao's smile was terrifying. The Liu Family members began to panic and tried to flee.
But so many martial artists were no pushovers. They had surrounded the place so thoroughly that not even water could pass through.
"Good Son-in-law, Good Son-in-law, it is already over. Why not Let him pass?"
"From now on, my Liu Family will certainly follow your lead..."
Liu Jinshu spoke tremblingly.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Shen, just treat us as a pack of dogs you keep!"
"Young Master Shen, please show mercy..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I truly have no shortage of dogs at your level." Shen Wuxiao smiled. "Besides, back when you relied on my power, you did quite a bit of plundering!"
"Plundering would have been one thing, but every one of you held your heads so high in the air. A pack of dogs dared bark at their master, did they?"
After saying that, Shen Wuxiao looked at Liu Jinshu!
Liu Jinshu was utterly horrified. He could see it now—this was an attempt to wipe them out completely.
"Young Master Shen, you can't do this... So many people saw it. If something happens to us, you... you won't be able to handle it easily either..."
Shen Wuxiao wore a mocking smile as he walked over and patted the man's face. "Patriarch Liu, you really don't know what's good for you."
"Who doesn't know what kind of man I, Shen Wuxiao, am? Who would dare gossip? If they dare utter a single word, then from now on they'd better go out at noon, because sooner or later, they'll die!"
"Enough nonsense!" Shen Wuxiao pointed toward Han Zhen. "Count him in too!"
After he said that, the martial artists closed in one by one, squeezing the Liu Family into a corner.
Watching the scene, Shen Wuxiao turned and headed outside.
Crying, begging, and curses rang out without end, yet Shen Wuxiao seemed not to hear them.
When Shen Wuxiao reached the doorway, he stopped. Excitement suddenly flashed across his calm face.
"Close the door... Leave none alive!!"
