"Who are you?"
Black Panther stared at the corpse of Iron Palm bleeding from all seven orifices on the ground, his eyes filled with shock and murderous intent as he questioned Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian said coldly, "I am the one who killed Li Wei, the leader of the Sanhe Gang, and helped the Red Flower Society annex all of Sanhe Gang's territories. I am also the one who just killed your two generals."
"So you are the expert newly recruited by Bai Mei, the president of the Red Flower Society. Hmph, you walk into hell when heaven's gate is open. Since you're here, you'll leave your life behind tonight!"
Black Panther stood up from the sofa. He was very confident in his combat power. Even though Chu Lingtian had killed Bao Tou and Tie Zhang, he was still absolutely confident that he could eliminate Chu Lingtian.
"You participated in the massacre of the Chu family back then. Heaven will not tolerate you. You can only die. But if you can tell me all the truth about the extermination of the Chu family now, I can give you a complete corpse."
The cold light in Chu Lingtian's eyes was as sharp as a blade, and he stared directly at Black Panther.
Black Panther was also a ruthless killer, but at this moment, he was actually intimidated and trembled by a single look from Chu Lingtian.
However, Black Panther quickly stabilized his mind. Over the years, he had been paying attention to the masters of both the underworld and the legitimate circles in Dashang City, and he had never found anyone whose combat power was stronger than his.
"Who are you to the Chu family of Dashang City?"
Black Panther narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Lingtian.
"Who I am, you don't need to know." Chu Lingtian's expression was cold, and a towering killing intent emanated from him. He walked towards Black Panther and said, "Tell the truth, and I'll leave you a complete corpse!"
"Hahahaha, you are the first person to dare to speak to me, Black Panther, like this. Fine, as long as you can defeat me, I will tell you all the truth I know about the extermination of the Chu family."
Black Panther laughed furiously, speaking arrogantly.
Swish!
Chu Lingtian's eyes turned cold, and his figure flashed with lightning speed, disappearing from Black Panther's sight as if he had vanished into thin air.
Black Panther was greatly alarmed, his eyes wide open. But when his gaze caught Chu Lingtian's figure again, he had already taken a heavy kick to the abdomen.
Thump!
Black Panther clutched his stomach with both hands and knelt on the ground. His eyeballs bulged due to the immense pain, his face contorted, and blood spurted from his nose and mouth, a truly shocking sight.
"Ah..."
The mistress standing beside Black Panther screamed in fear and also fell to the ground, her expression filled with terror as she faced Chu Lingtian.
At this moment, Black Panther felt that every cell in his internal organs ached. He had never dreamed, never imagined, that he, a master who was rarely matched in both the underworld and legitimate circles of Dashang City, would be forced to his knees by this young man with a single blow, unable to get up.
He, Black Panther, was the boss of Bao Tou and Tie Zhang. Bao Tou and Tie Zhang had fought several rounds with Chu Lingtian, so had his combat power regressed so much over the years? Was he not even as good as his subordinates?
In fact, Black Panther was mistaken, because Chu Lingtian's emotions were completely different when he dealt with Black Panther compared to when he dealt with his subordinates.
Before he heard Black Panther mention the massacre of the Chu family, Chu Lingtian's emotions were very calm when dealing with Bao Tou and Tie Quan. He simply felt that he had to kill a few people tonight.
For Chu Lingtian, the King of Soldiers, killing bad people and enemies did not cause any emotional fluctuations.
But inadvertently, when he heard Black Panther mention the tragic massacre of the Chu family back then, Chu Lingtian's blood surged, and his anger erupted like a raging inferno!
Ten years!
His closest relatives had been separated from him, Chu Lingtian, for ten years!
Father, mother, grandfather, sister... The faces and voices of these loved ones always appeared in Chu Lingtian's mind, but alas, he would never see them again.
Countless times he woke up from nightmares, Chu Lingtian dreamt of his father, mother, grandfather, sister... even the Chu family infants who were still swaddled. They were wailing in the sea of fire, screaming in the sea of fire, crying in the sea of fire, but in the end, their flesh and blood were burned dry, turning into mummified corpses before they died.
A fire of unparalleled brutality had caused the complete demise of the Chu family, the foremost aristocratic clan of Dashang City.
For the past ten years, Chu Lingtian had been trying every means to investigate the truth behind the sudden family fire, but he had found nothing, not a single clue to prove that the fire was intentional. This almost forced Chu Lingtian to completely believe and accept that the destructive fire that destroyed his family was caused by his own clansmen's carelessness, not a deliberate act, and had nothing to do with outsiders.
But perhaps the heavens' retribution is slow but sure, or perhaps the souls of the Chu family who tragically died were unwilling to rest in peace. Guided by the unseen hand of fate, although Chu Lingtian had not overheard the conversation between Jiang Huan and the patriarchs of the four great families, he had unintentionally heard Black Panther mention the truth of the Chu family's massacre here.
The greatest pain in the world is to be alive while all your loved ones are dead, to have no relatives in the world, and to be lonely for a lifetime.
A whole family murdered, a blood feud that must be avenged, or else one is not truly human!
At this moment, Chu Lingtian's emotions completely erupted. He no longer restrained the terrifying killing intent of the Wolf King of Death within him. The monstrous combat power of the legendary soldier king reappeared at this moment.
This was why Black Panther couldn't even withstand a single move from Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian casually picked up a fruit knife from the glass coffee table next to him, his dark, abyss-like eyes fixed on Black Panther, and said sternly, "Speak, what is the truth of the Chu family's extermination by fire overnight!"
"I, I have no idea what you're talking about."
Black Panther was so terrified by Chu Lingtian's powerful skills that his soul almost left his body. At the same time, he wondered in his heart what Chu Lingtian's relationship was with the annihilated Chu family. He dared not easily reveal the full truth of the Chu family's extermination, because if he did, the Jiang family and the four great families would have his head.
Swish!
Gulp!
With a flick of his wrist, Chu Lingtian directly severed Black Panther's entire left arm.
"Ah... my hand!"
Black Panther rolled on the ground, screaming in agony, blood gushing from the severed limb.
"This is your last chance. I'll ask you one last time. Speak, or not?"
Chu Lingtian stepped on Black Panther's head, his body radiating a sky-high killing intent.
At this very moment, with Chu Lingtian's rage, even if the King of Heaven himself descended, he could not stop Chu Lingtian from learning the truth of the tragic deaths of all his closest relatives. He would kill anyone who stood in his way, and slay any Buddha who blocked him!
Suddenly, Black Panther's mistress, who had been trembling in fear beside him, quietly reached under the cabinet and pulled out a handgun. She aimed it at the back of Chu Lingtian's head.
Swish!
Just as the mistress's face showed a sinister smile of triumph and her right index finger began to pull the trigger, Chu Lingtian suddenly turned around. The fruit knife in his hand shot out, piercing directly through the mistress's throat and pinning her to the wall behind her.
Crackling!
Immediately after, the sound of Black Panther's skull cracking ominously, as if it couldn't withstand the pressure any longer, echoed. Chu Lingtian's foot, which was pressing down on his head, continued to increase its force.
"Don't, don't kill me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you... I'll tell you the truth and all the details of the Chu family's extermination..."
Compared to survival, nothing else mattered. So Black Panther, terrified out of his wits, quickly exclaimed.
