Chapter 18: The Master
Huang Long rubbed his eyes hard, doubting that he was hallucinating.
Killing Li Qin in the Li family—how ridiculous and unbelievable that notion was.
Once.
Then again.
Huang Long’s eyes grew red from rubbing, yet nothing before him changed.
He... he had truly killed Li Qin!
“Dad!”
“What the hell have you done!”
Li Meng screamed at Tang Xuan in a frenzy.
The Li family bodyguards immediately surrounded Tang Xuan.
The oppressive presence of over a hundred men made Huang Ying’s legs go weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Li Qin was dead.
Could they still leave the Li family alive?
The answer was obvious.
In his fury, Li Meng would never let anyone escape.
“Kill him! Kill him!”
At Li Meng’s command, over a hundred bodyguards launched their assault on Tang Xuan.
Seething with rage, Li Meng shoved Li Qin’s corpse aside.
The shocking hollow in his forehead drove him mad.
He wanted Tang Xuan dead.
He wanted Zhao Ran dead.
He wanted Huang Long and Huang Ying to die here as well!
As more bodyguards fell, Li Meng began to realize something was wrong.
Despite their numbers, they held no advantage over Tang Xuan.
Instead, Tang Xuan moved effortlessly, weaving through the crowd like a serpent among dragons.
Whenever he paused briefly, a Li family bodyguard would fall.
Those who fell didn’t just lose fighting ability—they lost their lives.
At the Kan Shui and Xun Feng levels, they were like paper warriors before him, utterly vulnerable.
Within two minutes, dozens had collapsed.
At that moment, cold sweat broke out on Li Meng’s brow.
He finally understood why Tang Xuan dared to kill Li Qin in the Li family.
He had never yielded!
From beginning to end, he never regarded the Li family as worthy.
He possessed absolute strength, unafraid of the Li family!
“How can this be? How can this be?”
“Isn’t he just a doctor? Why is he so strong?”
Huang Long also noticed Tang Xuan’s dominance.
His fear gradually turned to excitement.
Li Qin was dead.
How many of the Li family bodyguards would survive?
These bodyguards were the foundation of the Li family; if they died, the Li family would be destroyed!
“Stop! Stop this at once!”
Li Meng panicked.
He no longer cared about Li Qin’s death.
He only knew that if all the bodyguards fell, the Li family would be finished.
Hearing Li Meng’s order and sensing Tang Xuan’s power, the bodyguards ceased their attack.
But Tang Xuan, like a bloodthirsty war god, shifted positions constantly within the villa.
Each move left at least one bodyguard dead.
“Stop?”
“Did I say stop?”
Despite Li Meng’s desperate gaze, more bodyguards continued to fall.
Huang Ying’s eyes never left Tang Xuan.
She felt more and more that if she didn’t seize this man now, she would regret it forever.
Yet her series of foolish actions had already drained most of the goodwill she had earned in Tang Xuan’s heart.
She regretted it deeply!
If only she hadn’t done those stupid things, perhaps there would still be a chance to develop a different relationship with him.
Just as Huang Long had said, she wouldn’t mind even being a third.
Within ten minutes, all the bodyguards had fallen.
Despair filled Li Meng’s eyes.
He never imagined things would come to this.
He thought he could easily control Tang Xuan.
He believed that under the Li family’s overwhelming deterrence, Tang Xuan would obediently comply.
The premier family of Jiangcheng was now destroyed by a single person!
Tang Xuan walked toward Li Meng.
Li Meng’s facial muscles twitched rapidly, revealing the terror in his heart.
He wished this were all a nightmare, that upon opening his eyes, he would find nothing had happened.
But when he closed and reopened his eyes, Tang Xuan was already before him.
Pale-faced, Li Meng staggered back several steps.
“Is the Li family very strong?”
Ten minutes ago, Li Meng would have proudly declared that the Li family was not to be trifled with.
But now, he had no capital left.
“Why? Why did you do this? Does the Li family have a grudge against you?”
The question was laughable!
Tang Xuan said, “Since the moment you kidnapped my girlfriend, wasn’t there a grudge?”
“Isn’t this grudge one your Li family started?”
Li Meng had no words to counter.
When he was in power, he didn’t care about rules.
Strength was the right to speak.
Strength meant doing whatever you pleased.
“But you shouldn’t have killed so many from my Li family!”
Tang Xuan sneered coldly.
“Killed, so what?”
“What should you do?”
“I’m giving you a chance for revenge—do you dare to take it?”
Li Meng trembled under Tang Xuan’s overwhelming aura.
“What, can’t even fart anymore?”
“Aren’t you the head of the Li family?”
“The family head is just a weakling?”
Humiliated by Tang Xuan’s words, Li Meng seethed in anger but dared not act.
He had lost all capital.
He paid a heavy price for his foolish pride.
He didn’t want to die at Tang Xuan’s hands.
Haunted by the fear of death, he had to lower himself.
“I... was wrong.”
Seeing this, Huang Long’s heart surged.
Li Meng actually admitted his mistake!
Hahaha.
The proud Li family had a day of admission after all.
Indeed, in front of this little doctor, the Li family was insignificant!
“You don’t admit your mistake because you know you’re wrong—you admit it because you know you’re about to die.”
Tang Xuan’s calm voice whispered like a demon in Li Meng’s ear.
Li Meng stared at Tang Xuan in terror.
“No, don’t kill me!”
“My Li family is willing to do anything for you.”
“Li Meng is willing to become your servant.”
With that, Li Meng fell to his knees before Tang Xuan.
What head of the family?
What Li family?
At this moment, none mattered more than his own life.
Huang Long’s expression suddenly changed.
If the Li family pledged loyalty to Tang Xuan and he accepted, wouldn’t the Huang family be useless?
“Little doctor...”
As Huang Long approached Tang Xuan,
Tang Xuan struck him with a palm, sending him flying.
“Don’t think I don’t know your plan just now.”
“I told you, don’t take me for a fool. You’ve already missed the last chance I gave you.”
Despair instantly clouded Huang Long’s face.
“Little doctor, please give me one more chance.”
“I promise, I won’t do this again.”
Seeing this, Huang Ying hurriedly knelt.
“The Huang family is also willing to be your servant. The Huang family can do anything for you!”
Tang Xuan said indifferently, “Can the Huang family compare to the Li family?”
Hearing this, Huang Long and Huang Ying felt as if their souls had been drained, their eyes vacant.
Tang Xuan turned to look at Li Meng.
“Who am I?”
“Master.”
