"Who?"

Liu Chengyun let out a sharp cry.

He never expected that someone would silently break into their private room tonight.

The faces of those two generals were likewise covered in frost.

Murderous intent permeated their eyes.

Their conversation just now had been overheard; this person definitely could not be left alive.

"Courting death."

The square-faced General Wang's voice was icy cold as he slowly stood up, and an aura belonging to a high-tier Classer suddenly erupted.

"To be able to sneak here without a sound, you indeed have some skill."

"Pity, you shouldn't have heard those words."

The other thin General Li also stood up, the corners of his mouth curving into a cruel arc.

"End it yourself, and I can still leave your body intact."

However, before they could make a move, Yasuo on the balcony made the first move!

No one could even see his movements clearly.

A flash of lightning swept past.

Tension filled the air.

General Wang only felt a blur before his eyes, and a sense of extreme danger instantly enveloped his entire body.

He instinctively raised his arm to block.

Clang—!

A harsh sound of metal clashing exploded!

General Wang was sent flying backward out of control, as if he had been struck by a charging rhinoceros!

The teacup in his hand had long since turned into powder, and on the arm he used to block, a sword scar deep enough to see bone had actually appeared!

Fresh blood gushed out!

"Such a fast sword!"

General Li's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needle tips.

He couldn't even capture the trajectory of the opponent's sword strike!

Liu Chengyun was even more startled, retreating repeatedly, all the color drained from his face.

Just what kind of monster was this person?

"Charge together! Kill him!"

General Wang clutched his bleeding arm and let out a roar mixed with shock and anger.

He no longer dared to hold the slightest bit of contempt.

A cold glint flashed in the thin General Li's eyes, and his hands quickly formed hand seals.

"Come forth! My servant!"

Two huge black Formations materialized out of thin air in front of him.

Awooo—!

Accompanied by two fierce wolf howls, two giant wolves comparable in size to male lions, their entire bodies burning with eerie blue flames, leaped out from the Formations!

These were precisely the exotic beasts of a summoning-type Classer!

【Purgatory Demon Wolf】!

As soon as the two demon wolves appeared, they turned into two blue lightning bolts, pouncing fiercely toward Yasuo from left and right!

Yasuo's gaze was indifferent, and the tachi in his hand casually twirled a sword flower.

His footsteps shifted, his figure like a ghost, actually dragging out streaks of afterimages within that narrow space.

The pouncing attacks of the two Purgatory Demon Wolves completely missed!

They couldn't even touch a corner of Yasuo's clothes!

"Slash!"

Yasuo spat out an icy word.

A brilliant sword light imbued with the power of thunder suddenly lit up, like lightning piercing the night sky!

Swish!

A huge wolf head burning with eerie blue flames soared into the sky!

Scalding wolf blood splattered the entire room!

The other Purgatory Demon Wolf didn't even have time to let out a wail before it was cut in half at the waist by that extreme-speed sword light!

The two powerful demon wolves were actually instantly killed in a single exchange!

On the faces of Liu Chengyun and the two generals, fear from the bottom of their hearts finally emerged.

This person... was too strong!

Outrageously strong!

"Run!"

This thought arose in the hearts of the three men at the same time.

Without hesitation, they turned around and prepared to smash through the window and flee.

Yasuo looked at the backs of the three men, the corners of his mouth curving into an icy arc.

"Can you escape?"

He slowly raised the tachi in his hand, the tip pointing straight at the ceiling.

A terrifying aura that could destroy the heavens and earth suddenly erupted from within his body!

"Ten Thousand Thunder Attraction!"

Rumble—!!!

Without warning, the sky above the private room was completely shrouded by a dense patch of dark clouds!

Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled!

Countless thick golden thunders, like wildly dancing dragons, rolled frantically within the clouds!

The next second!

Three golden bolts of judgment, thick enough to pierce the heavens and earth, tore through the night sky and struck down aggressively with the destructive Divine Might of purifying everything!

Accurately bombarding that secluded private room!

Boom—!!!!

A deafening roar resounded through the entire Liu Family manor!

That private room built from precious timber, along with Liu Chengyun and the two generals inside, was instantly blasted flying under this terrifying thunder!

The entire room, along with the surrounding rockeries and bamboo groves, was reduced to flat ground under this violent energy!

A charred giant pit with a diameter of over ten meters appeared in place.

Liu Family Manor, banquet main hall.

The originally melodious music stopped abruptly.

The smiles on the faces of all the guests froze.

The heaven-shaking roar from just now, as well as the violent tremor that followed, plunged everyone into a brief stupor.

Some guests who were close by were even shaken so much that they couldn't stand steadily, shattering their champagne glasses all over the floor.

"Wh-What happened?"

"Was there an earthquake?"

After a brief silence, the entire banquet hall instantly exploded into a hubbub!

Screams and exclamations rose one after another!

The originally lively and festive birthday banquet instantly fell into chaos!

"Don't panic!"

On the main seat, Liu Zhenxiong fiercely slapped the table, letting out an angry shout full of vigor.

His sharp eyes swept across the audience, and his voice, like a giant bell, instantly suppressed all the noise.

"It's just a minor accident, what kind of behavior is this!"

The Old Master's majesty quickly quieted down the panicked guests.

He frowned, casting his gaze toward the direction where the explosion came from, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashing in his eyes.

He gave a deep instruction to a young man in general's uniform within the crowd.

"Shaohan, take a few people over to see what is going on."

In the crowd, a young general with a delicate and soft face immediately stepped forward.

He was precisely Liu Shaohan, who had been ordered to capture Gandalf back in Jiangning City.

He bowed respectfully to Liu Zhenxiong.

"Yes! Great-grandfather!"

After speaking, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he quickly picked a few agile servants, hurrying toward the direction of the explosion.

The head of the family's wife quickly stood up, a proper smile piling back onto her face as she began to comfort the frightened guests.

"Everyone, everyone, I'm truly sorry for startling you all."

"It might just be a problem with the teleportation Formation in the back courtyard that caused a commotion."

"Everyone continue eating and drinking, please don't mind it."

As she spoke, she signaled the band to continue playing.

However, how many of the guests present could truly set their minds at ease?

Just now, they clearly felt strong energy fluctuations.

This was obviously someone fighting.

Time passed minute by minute.

The music ringing out again in the banquet hall appeared exceptionally grating.

The smiles on the guests' faces were stiff, and their conversations were much sparser. Everyone's gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced toward the area shrouded in darkness deep within the manor.

On the main seat, Liu Zhenxiong's hand holding the wine glass was as steady as a monolith.

Yet his slightly narrowed eyes leaked his inner disquiet.

It had been too long.

From the time the explosion sounded until now, nearly ten minutes had passed.

Yet no one had returned to report the situation.

Even his grandson Liu Shaohan, whom he had just sent out, was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news at all.

An inexplicable irritation gnawed at his heart like ants.

Liu Zhenxiong put down his wine glass, the bottom of the cup colliding with the table and making a soft sound.

He was just preparing to send someone over to take a look.

Right at this moment.

A dark shadow cut through the dazzling lights of the banquet hall, flying rapidly in a precise parabola toward the most luxurious guest-of-honor dining table in the center.

Thud!

A muffled sound.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering porcelain and splashing soup, that dark shadow smashed heavily onto the table full of delicacies.

Several guests closest to it were even splashed with grease and filth all over their bodies.

The music stopped abruptly.

Everyone's movements froze at this moment.

"What is that?"

"Who is so blind as to litter casually!"

A member of the Liu Family frowned and cursed, about to step forward to check.

"Ah—!!!"

A scream loud enough to pierce the eardrums suddenly burst from the mouth of a noblewoman beside the dining table!

Her eyes wide, her face bloodless, her fingers trembling as she pointed at that thing on the table, she collapsed limply into her chair as if she had seen a ghost.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

The moment they saw that thing clearly, a chill shot straight from everyone's tailbone to their celestial spirits!

Falling from the sky and landing on the banquet was shockingly a head!

A head with its eyes wide open, the final trace of shock and disbelief still frozen on its face!

Fresh blood gushed out from the severed neck, rapidly dyeing the white tablecloth red and mixing with the exquisite dishes, forming a bizarre and bloody picture.

"It... It's Young Master Shaohan!"

In the crowd, a sharp-eyed servant let out a fearful exclamation.

"It's Liu Shaohan's head!"
