Meng Tian's figure flashed, appearing before Li Yang.

"Captain, don't stop me," Li Yang said in a low voice. Both his hands emitted a faint glow, and two Flying Daggers suddenly appeared in his hands. Streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously poured into the Flying Daggers, causing them to glow.

Meng Tian stared directly at Li Yang and said firmly, "Li Yang, come back with me."

"Get out of the way, Captain, get out of my way!" The malevolent energy within Li Yang began to surge. When he learned of Jiang Xue's death, Li Yang had felt this malevolent energy, and now it was even stronger.

Suddenly, wisps of red energy began to flow into Li Yang's entire body from his mind. At the same time, these red wisps continuously swirled within his mind, and Li Yang's eyes immediately turned blood-red.

"Don't force me, Captain, don't force me. Jiang Xue was my everything. She's dead, so I have to kill Lin Tianyu, I must!" Li Yang's expression became somewhat ferocious.

Meng Tian looked at Li Yang's blood-red, bloodthirsty eyes and his ferocious expression. He knew Li Yang had changed; his state of mind had changed. The usually open-hearted Li Yang, who lived only for the country, had changed, becoming filled with hatred.

"It's either he dies, or I die!" Li Yang gritted out the last few words between his teeth. He could no longer control the chaotic true qi within him.

The power of love is immense, especially for those who don't easily form attachments. Once they do, the influence is beyond anyone's imagination. This is the case with Li Yang now. The power of love has begun to change his state of mind. Entering the Dao through emotion can lead to the immortal Dao, but it can also lead to the demonic Dao. With the secret assistance of the Hegemon from the Demon Realm in Li Yang's mind, Li Yang has begun to walk the demonic path and has also developed a demonic nature.

Meng Tian shook his head and said with a firm gaze, "Li Yang, Lin Tianyu made a mistake. The country will give you an explanation, and they will give Jiang Xue's family an explanation. But you cannot take the law into your own hands. You cannot act as the court. You have already killed three people today. Do you know how their families feel? They were just bodyguards, but now they are dead, simply because you wanted revenge."

Li Yang's body trembled. "Bodyguards?"

Suddenly, Li Yang's expression became even colder and more ruthless. "Hmph, bodyguards have long accepted the possibility of death. They protected scum like Lin Tianyu, hmph. Today, no matter who it is, if they stand in my way of killing Lin Tianyu, I will kill them." The true qi within Li Yang circulated wildly, becoming stronger and stronger. Heavenly and earthly spiritual energy was also continuously absorbed into his body. Having comprehended the Melancholy Realm, Li Yang now had an extremely high affinity for heavenly and earthly spiritual energy. The frantic surge of spiritual energy was felt by El, Meng Tian, Fili, Yang Yu, and even Lin Tianyu.

"The interests of the country are paramount, Li Yang. Have you forgotten the oath you took when you joined Security Bureau Group 9? What did all the fallen brothers from the Dragon Fang special forces die for? Don't you know the impact of you killing Lin Tianyu?" Meng Tian uttered his final words of persuasion.

Li Yang's heart trembled. "Dragon Fang?" Suddenly, Li Yang threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Hahaha, hahaha, Dragon Fang, Dragon Fang, Captain, you speak well, you speak very well..." Li Yang's laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

At this moment, Hei Yan, Tian Lin, and the others also arrived.

A cruel smile appeared on Li Yang's face. "Dragon Fang, the elite special forces. But do you know the treatment my fallen brothers received? Their parents were left with no one to care for them. The meager living allowance was barely enough for them to survive. They didn't even have money to visit the martyrs' cemetery to see their sons. Our former captain died ten years ago, but his mother had no money to visit him. After saving for ten years, his elderly mother, over sixty, finally had enough travel expenses to reach the martyrs' cemetery to see him. But, but... in the end, the old mother didn't even have money to return, none at all!"

Meng Tian and the others fell silent. This was the truth, an unchangeable truth. It was also something that pained them deeply.

Tears streamed from Li Yang's eyes. "Yes, none of us Dragon Fang brothers regretted it when we died. We knew it was for the country."

Suddenly, Li Yang became somewhat hysterical. "But now I don't understand. What did our countless brothers die for? Was it for these scumbags who have money? Haha, what did we die for, haha... It's laughable, so laughable. Justice? When our loved ones are dead, what am I still holding onto? Justice? Screw justice! When you can't even protect your own wife, what justice is there? Today, Lin Tianyu must die. No one can stop me."

Meng Tian still stood there, and Yang Yu also stood beside him. Yang Yu still had a wound from a Flying Dagger on his shoulder. Although the Flying Dagger had broken his Protective Aura, it had little attack power left after that.

Meng Tian and Yang Yu stood in front of Li Yang, with Hei Yan and the others behind Meng Tian.

"You're going to block me?" Li Yang acted as if he had seen the biggest joke. "But can you block me?" Li Yang's figure flashed, reaching its limit speed. In the same instant, the two Flying Daggers in his hands shot out.

"Lin Tianyu, die!"

Meng Tian and Yang Yu immediately flashed, and their Protective Auras formed simultaneously.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Two meteor-like streaks of light shot directly into Meng Tian and Yang Yu's bodies. It was useless for Li Yang to change direction, as Meng Tian and Yang Yu were blocking with their bodies. Li Yang only managed to slightly alter the trajectory.

Yang Yu gained another shallow wound, while Meng Tian didn't even have a scratch. By the time Li Yang's Flying Daggers broke his Protective Aura, they were already exhausted.

"Meng Tian, you old dog, you're still stronger than me. You must have over fifty thousand crystals of energy," Yang Yu said with a relaxed smile, seeing that Meng Tian's Protective Aura was clearly stronger than his.

Meng Tian did not reply, but looked at Li Yang. "Come back with me!"

"Kid, give up. Your power is too weak, only a few hundred crystals of energy. Even if you comprehend the three great realms, you can at most deal with the weaker level five experts. You can't even harm an expert at your captain's level, let alone that Lin something-feather, who is already a level six expert. You can't even break his defense, let alone kill him? Moreover, do you think killing him alone will be enough to vent your hatred?"

Li Yang's body trembled. A voice began to resonate in his mind: "Is killing him enough? Is killing him enough to vent my hatred?" Suddenly, Li Yang frowned. He was shocked. He realized something at that moment: the voice speaking was in his mind.

"Who are you?"

The voice in his mind seemed a bit confused. "Me? Hmm, I had a name in the Mortal Realm once. It was Xiang Yu!"
