Qian Renxue grabbed Li Dixian's arm, carefully scrutinizing his pale cheek.
Her pearly teeth were clenched, and a fierce aura surged in her eyes.
"Tai Tan! Damn him!"
Li Dixian froze, then understood.
So Qian Renxue had come because of Tai Tan.
"I'm fine."
Li Dixian said, sitting down on a sandalwood chair and looking at Qian Renxue.
"Today's events..."
"...made me see even more clearly the weight of strength."
"Because Tai Tan was strong enough, even after losing the bet, he could mock freely and walk away."
The night was as thick as ink.
The sky seemed to have been splattered with ink by a god, not a single star visible.
Tonight.
It was not a good night to go out.
Li Dixian picked up the clear spring wine pot and took a gulp.
The dull ache in his chest faded a little more.
Qian Renxue's lips were tightly pursed, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at Li Dixian.
"Li Dixian..."
"Do you want revenge?"
Li Dixian wiped the wine stain from his lips.
"A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years."
"What's more..."
The killing intent contained in his calm tone startled two plum blossoms from above his head.
"Why wait ten years?"
"Within two years, I will kill Tai Tan."
Anything Li Dixian said.
Qian Renxue believed it.
It was just... she couldn't wait.
She was no gentleman; she couldn't tolerate a gentleman's magnanimity.
Anyone who harmed Li Dixian, even if they enjoyed freedom for an extra moment, made her seethe with hatred and toss and turn sleeplessly.
Just like Zhao Wuji, whose bones were now shattered, suffering in agony as he awaited Li Dixian's judgment.
"I sent people to the Strength Clan."
"Hmm?!"
Li Dixian looked up.
The night outlined Qian Renxue's figure, a few strands of her hair gently fluttering in the breeze.
Her right hand unconsciously stroked her left wrist, her slender figure accentuated by her thin, plain white nightgown.
Under the halo of the luminous stone embedded in the wall, her beautiful face vaguely revealed a hint of Qian Renxue's shadow.
"You... why are you looking at me like that?"
Qian Renxue grew flustered under Li Dixian's gaze, her tone tinged with a hint of reproach.
The murderous intent she had so painstakingly built up.
It was all dispersed.
Li Dixian chuckled:
"Brother, you smell a little fragrant."
Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly widened, her cheeks visibly flushing pink, and her ear tips became extremely hot.
In her panic and confusion.
She practically pounced forward.
She angrily lightly punched Li Dixian's shoulder twice.
"You... what nonsense are you spouting!"
She spoke quickly, trying to conceal her panic.
"I mean... I sent people to the Strength Clan!"
"Tai Tan... they'll leave him a breath, do you want to... go there yourself?"
Li Dixian's Sword Brows slightly raised, then he stood up.
"Let's go."
A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years.
A gentleman's humiliation must be repaid in an instant.
The night wind carried a chill, dark clouds hung low, and the stars were completely hidden.
Tonight was not suitable for going out.
But it was suitable for killing.
"Dugu Bo, you are so ruthless!"
Tai Tan's face was pale with a greenish tint, his steps unsteady, the poison already deep within him.
His tiger-like eyes were bloodshot, filled with sorrow and monstrous hatred, as he stared fixedly at the thin old man slowly emerging from the poisonous mist.
"The Strength Clan... nearly a thousand lives, young and old..."
"You... you actually had the heart to wipe out an entire clan..."
Dugu Bo indifferently scanned Tai Tan's face, distorted with grief.
"You've forgotten this Old Poison's Titled Douluo."
"Tai Tan, bring out the awe you displayed when you looked down on a junior today."
"If you can bully Sword Wine, why can't this Old Poison bully you?"
Ugh—
Tai Tan vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood.
The blood splattered on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Dugu Bo!"
"You... you die for me!"
Tai Tan squeezed out his last bit of strength and summoned his Spirit True Body.
A twenty-meter-tall Great Ape shot up from the ground, its entire body covered in coarse, stiff hair like steel needles, its muscles bulging like continuous mountain peaks.
Its scarlet beast eyes glowed fiercely, its half-meter-long fangs protruded menacingly, exuding a terrifying aura as if it could tear apart a giant dragon.
However.
As soon as the Spirit True Body appeared.
His Soul Power violently churned within him, and the potent poison attacked his heart meridians.
"Roar—!"
Tai Tan let out a desperate roar.
His fists, like two small mountains, were raised high above his head, smashing down towards Dugu Bo below.
Even at his last gasp, his full-strength blow was still terrifying.
Before the giant fists even arrived.
The violent air pressure had already bent all the plants in the entire mansion.
It was as if a mountain was about to collapse.
Boom—!
The giant fists slammed down, earth and rocks shattered, and dust soared into the sky.
However, Tai Tan, spewing blood foam from his mouth, let out an incredulous roar.
"Impossible!"
He felt a massive force supporting his descending fists.
No matter how he urged his Soul Power, his fists could not sink a single inch further.
His strength... even an ordinary Titled Douluo couldn't match it!
Although he was severely injured now, it shouldn't be possible for Dugu Bo, who was known for his poison as the "weakest" Titled Douluo, to withstand it head-on!
"A mayfly shaking a tree."
A hundred-meter-long Jade Scale Snake King.
It coiled up the thick arm of the Spirit True Body.
The giant snake's body suddenly constricted.
Tai Tan's massive body immediately emitted the sound of bones cracking.
The Great Ape Spirit True Body was forcibly crushed and exploded.
Looking at Tai Tan, who was like a pile of mud, Dugu Bo whispered:
"Someone else is coming tonight."
"The Strength Clan is destroyed, Tai Tan, your life will be left for the newcomers to take."
As his voice fell.
Dugu Bo transformed into a wisp of poisonous mist.
And vanished into the thick night.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Tai Tan's hands and feet were completely crushed.
But the pain in his body was less than a ten-thousandth of the sorrow in his heart.
The Strength Clan... was gone.
All because he had bullied Sword Wine during the day.
"Ah ah ah..."
This Great Strength God, renowned throughout the Douluo Continent, was now letting out heart-wrenching wails of agony.
Murky tears, mixed with blood, rolled down his desperate face.
He was like a crippled old dog whose nest had been destroyed.
Regret surged like waves, crashing against his heart.
And just then.
Two figures suddenly appeared before him.
"Now you know how to cry?"
Tai Tan's crying stopped abruptly, and he struggled to lift his head, looking at the newcomers.
Then, his pupils suddenly constricted.
The aura of these two people was as profound as a deep pool and as imposing as a towering mountain, making him tremble.
Titled Douluo!
Two more Titled Douluo!
Offending Sword Wine had actually brought forth four Titled Douluo!
Only now did Tai Tan truly understand what a massive trouble he had provoked during the day!
He gritted his teeth, blood foam spraying from his mouth.
"Kill me... you kill me..."
Porcupinefish and Snake Lance ignored Tai Tan.
"The smell of Jade Scale Snake Poison, it seems Old Poison came first."
"Tsk, that Old Poison is ruthless enough, he slaughtered the Strength Clan, saving us the effort."
Porcupinefish was also a master of poison.
He tossed Snake Lance a detoxifying pill.
Snake Lance used his toe to flip Tai Tan over, looking at the latter's miserable state, worse than death, and said coldly:
"If only you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?"
"Who told you not to have eyes and offend someone you shouldn't have."
"Your life, keep it, and wait for the true owner to come and collect it personally."
The two arrived abruptly and left just as decisively.
And a moment later.
Another dozen or so dark figures quietly swept to the outside of the Strength Clan's mansion.
They looked at the devastated, silent ruins inside, all gasping in cold air.
An auxiliary Spirit Master in the team sniffed the air, his face changing drastically.
"Not good!"
"It's Jade Scale Snake King Poison! Run!"
"The Strength Clan is destroyed! There's nothing for us to do!"
The dozen or so people had not even stepped over the mansion's threshold before they frantically disappeared into the night.
About another quarter of an hour passed.
Li Dixian and Qian Renxue arrived outside the Strength Clan's mansion.
All three chapters have been sent together, haha.
