Chapter 68 Relentless Revenge
The glare of the blade flashing, Li Xiaoyao moved as if he were in uninhabited territory. With a single chop of his palm, he struck the neck of the man in the lead. The man didn't even have the chance to scream before he collapsed.
"Damn!" A man next to him was startled by Li Xiaoyao's swift and fierce move. His arm swung high, bringing the machete down towards Li Xiaoyao's back.
Killing intent flickered in the man's eyes; he almost saw the outcome of Li Xiaoyao being hacked to the ground by the machete.
However, just as the machete was about to fall, it was as if Li Xiaoyao had eyes on his back. Without turning his head, he delivered a sideways kick, striking the man's face hard and sending him flying away.
After about fifteen seconds, four of the five men lay on the ground unable to get up. The remaining one, holding a machete, was staggering, his eyes filled with panic as he watched Li Xiaoyao and kept retreating backward.
Li Xiaoyao approached him like the Grim Reaper, and the man swung his machete wildly, shouting, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"
Li Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed the blade. To the man's horror, he took the machete right out of his hand. Then, reversing the handle, he pressed the machete against the man's neck.
Li Xiaoyao closed in on the man, his voice sounding as if it came straight from Hell, "The woman in the house, where is she?"
The man's voice trembled, "I don't know."
Li Xiaoyao's arm holding the knife moved like lightning, and with a "swish!" a spurt of fresh blood sprayed out. At the same time, the man's right ear was severed and dropped to the ground.
Li Xiaoyao said expressionlessly, "You have one more chance."
Screaming in agony and clutching his ear, the man looked at Li Xiaoyao in terror and shouted, "You're a madman, a madman!"
The corner of Li Xiaoyao's mouth twisted into a terrifying smile. The edge of the blade slowly moved beneath the man's neck as he said, "Don't test my patience."
Nearly breaking down, the man found Li Xiaoyao's expression too frightening. Not daring to claim ignorance, he blurted out everything he knew.
"The Long Family, the woman was taken back to the Long Family."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "The location of the Long Family!"
Without holding anything back, the man quickly gave an address.
With the address in hand, Li Xiaoyao slapped the machete's handle forcefully, and the blade smacked into the man's temple. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Li Xiaoyao dragged the five men into the room and grabbed a mop to clean the blood off the floor outside. Then, looking down at the five men, he slightly furrowed his brows.
He couldn't merely lock them up; he had to figure out how to dispose of them.
But Li Xiaoyao didn't have anyone he could use at hand. Just as he was feeling troubled, an image suddenly flashed in his mind.
Zhao Ge!
A retired special forces soldier, Zhao Ge!
Perhaps, he could do it.
Li Xiaoyao pulled up Zhao Ge's contact and, after hesitating for only two seconds, made the call.
"Beep—beep-beep—"
The phone rang only twice before it connected.
"Hello, who is this?" Zhao Ge didn't have Li Xiaoyao's number, so he asked upon receiving a call from an unfamiliar number.
Li Xiaoyao said, "It's me, Li Xiaoyao."
Zhao Ge paused for a moment, then recognizing who it was, replied, "Hello, Minister Li."
Li Xiaoyao cut to the chase, "One hundred thousand yuan to do me a favor, not anything illegal or unprincipled."
He was certain that Zhao Ge must be in need of money.
A retired special forces soldier who had been out of work for a long time due to killing people in the line of duty would certainly be in need of money; otherwise, he wouldn't be applying for a job as a security guard.
Zhao Ge fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "Where are you?"
Li Xiaoyao sighed with relief. He hadn't guessed wrong, nor had he misjudged.
Perfect, Li Xiaoyao could also take this opportunity to probe Zhao Ge's capabilities. If this man was truly exceptional, then he would be worth employing.
Zhao Ge lived nearby, and it only took twenty minutes to arrive.
Li Xiaoyao opened the door and let Zhao Ge in.
Zhao Ge saw the mess in the room and the five unconscious men on the floor, but he remained very calm.
Looking at Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ge asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "For some reason, I've offended an entrepreneur with some clout in Ling City. These five guys were sent by that man. He has taken my woman, and I'm going to rescue her. What you need to do is help me throw these five men out, anywhere is fine."
Li Xiaoyao then took out a bank card and said, "There's eighty thousand in the card, the password is xxxx, take it for now. The remaining twenty thousand will be given to you at the company tomorrow."
Zhao Ge didn't decline, took the bank card, and said, "This job isn't worth a hundred grand, but I'm in urgent need of money right now, so consider this a loan from you."
"Debts must be paid, and if you think it's not worth it, I think it is. The money is yours by right. Men should stand by their word, spit in the hole you dig," Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, threw the keys to the place at him, and said, "I'll leave this matter in your hands, I'm leaving first."
Zhao Ge nodded, looking at the five men on the floor as if considering how best to deal with them.
Li Xiaoyao trusted him; otherwise, he wouldn't have called him for such a dirty job after just one meeting.
Li Xiaoyao left the residential area, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Long Feiyang lived in a high-end villa neighborhood, a half-hour drive away.
But for a cultivator like Li Xiaoyao, flying there was a matter of minutes.
Hovering high in the air, Li Xiaoyao's thoughts rapidly covered the entire villa complex, and just as he was using his mind to search for Tang Tiantian's whereabouts, suddenly, he opened his eyes in astonishment.
"A cultivator!" Li Xiaoyao widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at a villa below.
Just now, when Li Xiaoyao was probing with his thoughts, he suddenly sensed a special aura, one that felt familiar. That was the unique aura of a cultivator!
Li Xiaoyao had encountered one of his own kind.
It had to be a cultivator, Li Xiaoyao couldn't be mistaken.
In this world, there was indeed more than one cultivator with unique abilities like himself.
However, Li Xiaoyao noticed that the cultivator seemed not to have detected him, which probably meant that he was stronger than that cultivator.
Li Xiaoyao focused his search on that villa, and soon, he spotted Tang Tiantian inside.
Tang Tiantian was in that villa, which confirmed that this was Long Feiyang's home.
Li Xiaoyao carefully descended to the ground, concealed his presence, and step by step moved closer to the Long Family's villa.
Inside the villa, in the spacious living room,
a corpulent man sat on the sofa, with a pale-faced Long Zaitian beside him.
Ever since Li Xiaoyao had crushed Long Zaitian's family jewels, the man had been terribly weak. However, with modern medicine being so advanced and the Long Family being so wealthy, they had already found a top-notch doctor, ready to give him a transplant.
"Dad, I must kill that bastard!" Long Zaitian said with venom in his eyes.
Long Feiyang snorted and replied, "I've already sent people to capture him. They should bring him back soon. Once we have him, you can torture him however you want."
Long Zaitian's eyes glittered viciously as he said with a twisted smile, "I want to grind his family jewels to a pulp, I want to burst his, I want to make him a eunuch!"
Just as Long Zaitian uttered these words, a familiar voice, ghostlike, resounded in the room.
"To make me a eunuch, you might just not have that fate!"
With the sound of the voice, the figure of Li Xiaoyao stepped in from the entrance, appearing before the eyes of Long Zaitian and his son.
