The white-bellied bird was killing.
In the rice paddies, a shrill frog's croak.
She knew—
She knew everything!!
The extermination of the Tanaka clan tonight was all her and Tanaka Moto's doing.
It was with her strong support that Tanaka Moto had gained Rhodes' admiration, and together they had set a trap in the Blackwater Forest to ambush those foolish Easterners.
Tanaka Xiaofang had calculated everything.
Including how the foolish Easterners, to save a few compatriots trapped in the forest, would rush headlong into what they knew was a meat grinder, and sacrifice themselves.
But she had never calculated—
That an Easterner would play outside the rules, not go to the Blackwater Forest to die, but instead come to the Land of the Sun to slaughter her and Tanaka Moto's families!
"How dare you do this!?"
Tanaka Xiaofang roared hoarsely, and as she lunged at Du Junlin again, a pain shot through her ribs.
Du Junlin, his eyes utterly cold, stabbed her left leg.
Finally having wounded Tanaka Xiaofang, and seeing blood on himself under the siege of the four darknet masters, Du Junlin was about to press his advantage.
Croak—
A "swallow" lunged like a madwoman, ignoring Du Junlin's long saber, and with a *poof*, pierced through her, shouting, "President, run!"
No exaggeration.
The loyalty of this "swallow" to Tanaka Xiaofang was quite commendable.
She saw that even with the four of them attacking together, they couldn't kill Du Junlin, and knew that if they delayed any longer, Tanaka Xiaofang would be in grave danger.
After all, there was another man there, wielding a long saber and slaughtering people in the hall.
Once he finished killing the Tanaka clan, he would surely join forces with Du Junlin, and specifically target them.
This "swallow" was filled with fierce energy.
Disregarding her own life, she sacrificed herself to embrace Du Junlin: "President, go call for help! Avenge us!"
Before her words had even finished—
The other two injured "swallows" also croaked and, throwing caution to the wind, lunged forward.
To entangle Du Junlin!
To let Tanaka Xiaofang escape!!
This was the only thing the three "swallows" had to do.
Seeing her three loyal subordinates sacrificing their lives to buy her a chance to escape, Tanaka Xiaofang's heart shattered.
She was grief-stricken.
But she also knew clearly that now was not the time for grief.
She absolutely could not waste the chance to live that her three confidantes had bought her with their lives!
"I will kill all nine generations of their kin to avenge you."
Tanaka Xiaofang let out a piercing scream, croaked like a frog, and lunged towards the window.
*Crash!*
Tanaka Xiaofang broke through the window, rolled a few times on the ground, then sprang up again with a frog-like leap, heading towards the eastern wall.
Escape.
She had to escape.
Only by escaping and staying alive could she hope to kill all her enemies and avenge her clan and confidantes!
Vaulting the wall with the greatest speed, Tanaka Xiaofang raised her hand to wipe away her tears when she suddenly recalled a song.
The song had a line: "He said this little pain in the wind and rain, what does it count for? Dry your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams."
Tanaka Xiaofang was in great pain.
And she had dried her tears.
But she would never want dreams!
She wanted the reality of killing all her enemies' kin!!
She also wanted—
As Tanaka Xiaofang lunged towards the woods behind the villa with the utmost speed, perhaps wanting too many things.
She was blocked by someone.
Under the streetlights and the light shining from the villa, Tanaka Xiaofang saw at a glance that this person was a woman.
The woman wore a baseball cap, a large mask, and a black night suit, standing in the shadows of the trees, making her hard to spot.
Tanaka Xiaofang couldn't see the woman's face, nor could she determine her age.
But she could tell the woman's figure was quite good.
Especially her long legs—
"Who are you?"
Tanaka Xiaofang stopped in her tracks and instinctively blurted out the question.
Before the woman could answer—
*Croak!*
Tanaka Xiaofang suddenly let out a fierce frog's croak and lunged at the woman with the most ferocious speed.
Regardless of who this woman with beautiful hair was.
And regardless of whether she was an enemy.
Even if she were just a passerby meeting her lover here.
Tanaka Xiaofang would kill her!
Kill!!
At this very moment, only killing could slow the flow of Tanaka Xiaofang's tears.
Could lighten the sorrow in her heart.
Could—
What sound was that!?
Tanaka Xiaofang, who had lunged ferociously in front of the woman, suddenly heard a *crack*.
Like a bone being snapped hard.
Then.
Tanaka Xiaofang felt an intense pain radiating from her throat.
She could no longer breathe!!!
All she could do was cover her throat with her hands, her eyes bulging almost out of their sockets, and slowly bend her knees, kneeling at the woman's feet.
"My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Yun, Shen Chongchong."
The woman bent down and whispered in her ear, shyly, "The man killing inside is my most beloved brother."
Du Junlin, using all his might, could only wound Tanaka Xiaofang.
But Shen Yun, in a single encounter, cruelly crushed her throat!
This was enough to prove that the gap between Chongchong and Yaoyao was not a small one at all.
Or rather—
This was the insurmountable chasm that could never be crossed between a super-first-class expert and a true top-tier master.
Of course.
Shen Yun's ability to easily eliminate Tanaka Xiaofang also had a direct relationship with the fact that she had fought fiercely with Du Junlin for a long time, was exhausted, and was already injured.
Moreover.
Tanaka Xiaofang, having personally witnessed her family members being brutally murdered one by one, had long been unable to maintain a calm mindset for combat.
Ugh—
With a final, guttural sound, Tanaka Xiaofang slowly slumped to the ground.
As if struck by electricity, she twitched violently on the ground for a few moments before becoming still.
"I really didn't expect that the family Qianfan was killing would be related to the darknet."
Shen Yun looked up at the drone in the sky, patted her gloved hand, and suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
The wind blew.
A piece of white paper drifted and slowly disappeared into the darkness as well.
The slaughter!!!
Finally stopped.
Except for Tanaka Moto, all 37 members of the Tanaka family, plus the three darknet masters, lay dead on the spot.
Of course, Li Qianfan and Du Junlin were unaware that Tanaka Xiaofang, who had escaped, had also been swiftly hunted down.
They were not in a hurry to pursue Tanaka Xiaofang.
With Bai Ziyan present—
Even if Tanaka Xiaofang escaped to the moon, she would be found and eliminated by them!
Li Qianfan picked up his phone and, looking directly at Tanaka Moto on the other side of the camera, smiled and asked, "Mr. Tanaka, what are your thoughts at this moment?"
Mr. Tanaka Moto, who had witnessed the annihilation of his entire clan, what were his thoughts at this moment?
This was—
The Blackwater Forest!!
It was evening in the Land of the Sun, and noon here.
A vast snowfield, with snow fragments whistling silently with the white wind.
To the right of the endless snowfield lay the pain in the hearts of Easterners, the Blackwater Forest.
Tanaka Moto, standing in the snow, his eyes even shedding blood.
He looked at Li Qianfan in the video, his gaze no longer human.
A ghost.
A vampire!
At least.
Even Rhodes, Smith, and others (who of course were all masked) who had rushed over upon hearing the news, were terrified upon seeing his appearance.
"You—"
Tanaka Moto finally asked in a hoarse voice, "Who... who exactly are you?"
"White-bellied birds."
Li Qianfan replied in the video with perfectly clear words: "We are the souls of those you trapped and killed in the Blackwater Forest, transformed into spirits. Today, your entire clan has died. In the future, whether it's Smith or James, or your leader Rhodes. Their families will die. Perhaps even more tragically than your family."
He paused.
Li Qianfan continued, "Mr. Tanaka, please tell Rhodes and the others. After I have killed all your families, I will come to the Blackwater Forest to find you. I look forward to that day coming sooner."
*Beep.*
The video ended.
But Li Qianfan's words lingered in the ears of Tanaka Moto, Rhodes, and the others for a long time.
After I have killed all your families—
I will come to the Blackwater Forest to find you!!!
