Soon, Ye Cangtian stood before Xiao Lingtong, smiling slightly and saying playfully, "Didn't you ask me to kill ten people?"
"The first person I want to kill is you! Are you ready?"
"..."
With those words, Xiao Lingtong was stunned, and then burst into laughter, his laughter filled with extreme disdain.
"You say you want to kill me?"
"Good! Go ahead and do it! If you kill me, I'll see who can provide you with information!"
Xiao Lingtong sneered dismissively at Ye Cangtian.
*Slap!*
As soon as Xiao Lingtong finished speaking, Ye Cangtian's large hand shot out. Xiao Lingtong didn't attempt to dodge, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't react.
The next moment, his neck was in Ye Cangtian's grip, and his entire body was lifted off the ground.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, the two beauties beside Xiao Lingtong screamed and fled.
If the opponent dared to attack Xiao Lingtong, they might be next, and they didn't want to lose their lives here.
"Hmph! I don't care who you are, you'd better let me go!"
"You must know that countless people beg me to provide them with information. Killing me would mean offending them!"
"Then no matter how strong you are, or how powerful the force behind you is, you will still pay a bloody price!"
Although he was in Ye Cangtian's grasp, Xiao Lingtong remained unperturbed, calmly issuing a warning.
While the individuals in the hall had limited personal strength, their combined forces and families were not to be underestimated. If the opponent cut off their channels for gathering information, they would certainly not let the opponent off easily. This was Xiao Lingtong's confidence.
"Heh, you've actually reminded me."
"You're right, I shouldn't kill you, as you're still useful."
"However, your shouting at me just now has made me quite unhappy. What if I turn you into an eunuch? Would you mind?"
Ye Cangtian said with a slight, playful smile.
"You! You..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingtong instinctively crossed his hands, guarding his lower body. He hadn't even enjoyed enough of women yet, nor had he left any descendants. How could he become an eunuch? Moreover, if he were to be crippled in front of everyone, what would happen to his reputation? How would he face people in the future? But then again, if the opponent was just trying to scare him, and he cowered in front of so many people, he wouldn't be able to face anyone in the future either!
Seeing Xiao Lingtong's eyes darting around, Ye Cangtian smiled playfully and said, "A reminder, you'd better not harbor any侥幸心理. I always do what I say!"
"This..."
With those words, cold sweat broke out on Xiao Lingtong's face. He couldn't help but swallow and say, "Alright, I can provide information. Please follow me to the inner chamber."
Finally, Xiao Lingtong yielded. He really dared not gamble with his own body. Hearing this, Ye Cangtian showed a satisfied look and released him. As promised, Xiao Lingtong led Ye Cangtian into the inner chamber.
"Good heavens, Xiao Lingtong actually compromised? Am I dreaming?"
"Compromised? What are you talking about? So many people want Xiao Lingtong to provide information, including many powerful individuals, yet they still obediently followed Xiao Lingtong's rules!"
As Ye Cangtian left with Xiao Lingtong, the scene erupted in a clamor, with many people discussing. Hearing these discussions, Gui Wu's brows furrowed. However, after a moment, her brows relaxed again, and a cold smile reappeared on her face. She was indeed worried that Ye Cangtian might fall into Xiao Lingtong's trap, but then she thought that with Ye Cangtian's abilities, it wouldn't be easy to scheme against him! Nevertheless, Gui Wu quietly followed them.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian followed Xiao Lingtong through the corridor and into the inner chamber. The inner chamber was luxuriously decorated. Xiao Lingtong walked directly to a boss's chair and sat down. He then glanced at Ye Cangtian and said playfully, "Do you know how many years I've been operating in Killing City?"
"What do you want to say?"
Ye Cangtian asked playfully. Since he dared to follow the opponent here, he wasn't worried about any tricks.
"I've been in Killing City for five years. In these five years, I went from an obscure street hoodlum to my current position. I've seen all sorts of storms."
"It can be said that many people have gone to extreme lengths to get my information, yet I am still alive today."
"And those who want me to provide information have to abide by my rules. Do you know why?"
Xiao Lingtong glanced at Ye Cangtian, his eyes revealing a hint of smugness and ruthlessness. He wanted to tell the opponent that besides his talent and effort, he also possessed a certain ruthless approach, and used these to pressure others. But Ye Cangtian, as if he hadn't understood, asked, "Why?"
His question almost made Xiao Lingtong spit blood. He had been so direct, yet the other party still asked. There were only two reasons for this: either the opponent was a fool, or the opponent completely disregarded him. From the opponent's demeanor, the former was unlikely, so it must be the latter—he was not taken seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingtong sneered and said, "Good, good, good, I'll tell you why now!" As he spoke, Xiao Lingtong pressed a button under the table. In the next moment, the surrounding walls began to rotate, and in an instant, a hidden door opened. As the hidden doors opened, figures darted out. They were all dressed in black tight-fitting clothing, their eyes exuding a chilling coldness and murderous intent. They were clearly seasoned killers. In addition to them, infrared beams shot out from the hidden doors, precisely landing on Ye Cangtian.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingtong wore a smug smile. He looked at Ye Cangtian playfully and said, "So, do you still want to ask why? How about I give you a way out? Kneel down and kowtow to me a thousand times, and I might consider letting you go!"
"With just these trash, you think you can deal with me? Xiao Lingtong, are you overthinking things?"
Ye Cangtian scanned his surroundings and said with a cold laugh.
"Is that so? Then let me witness your skills!"
Xiao Lingtong said with a cold sneer, waving his hand. He didn't believe that with so many experts, they couldn't subdue the opponent. The moment they received his order, the more than thirty black-clad men in the room immediately acted. Simultaneously, gunshots rang out in the inner chamber. More than a dozen sniper rifles fired almost at the same time! But after firing, these snipers were astonished to find that they hadn't hit their target; the target had already dodged.
*Bang bang bang...*
The next moment, a scene that surprised everyone unfolded. Figures in the inner chamber were sent flying, each one spitting blood and collapsing to the ground, lacking the strength to even stand up. Ye Cangtian showed no mercy to Xiao Lingtong's pawns, directly crippling their cultivation. He wanted to see how Xiao Lingtong would remain arrogant without these lackeys!
"This..."
Seeing this, Xiao Lingtong's forehead broke out in cold sweat again, and his body trembled involuntarily. He knew in his heart that he had indeed picked a fight with someone formidable today. He had to know that each of his subordinates was at least at the Xuan level in terms of strength. With such strength, coupled with sniper rifles, the opponent not only remained unharmed but also managed to injure his own men. This was enough to prove the terrifying extent of the opponent's power.
*Boom!*
In a short period, the last figure smashed onto the table in front of Xiao Lingtong, shattering the table instantly. Ye Cangtian had dealt with the people around him. As for the snipers, Ye Cangtian merely glanced at them, and the snipers immediately dropped their sniper rifles. It was a joke. It had already been proven that guns couldn't deal with this person. How dare they point their guns at him now? After all, nothing was more important than their lives!
