Chapter 2369 - 2342: Cripple You

"You’re asking for death."

Lu Tianxing’s face instantly turned murderous, and he stomped hard, causing the ground spikes to explode. A surge of incomparably powerful True Qi blasted into the earth. In an instant, the man several meters away shook violently, vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, and was thrown backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

This moment transpired in the blink of an eye, and moreover, the man had not anticipated that Lu Tianxing’s counterattack could be so terrifyingly fast, completely overwhelming, directly breaking his technique and sending him flying.

The man lay on the ground like a dead dog, blood streaming from his mouth, his chest heaving violently, giving the impression that he could collapse at any moment.

Lu Tianxing curved his lips into a bloodthirsty smile. "An ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating yourself."

"Originally, I planned to give you a chance to live, but since you’re so stubborn, you can’t blame me."

With those words, Lu Tianxing moved. He knew that unless he killed this person, he would continue to obstruct his entrance into the Mu Family.

So he intended to kill this man.

When the man saw Lu Tianxing’s actions, his pupils contracted instantly, a look of fear appearing on his face. He could only see a shadow flashing by.

Just as the man was frightened, Lu Tianxing was already in front of him, his right hand forming a claw, reaching directly for the man’s throat.

Before Lu Tianxing’s claw reached him, the fierce wind from the claw already hit him, causing his body to tremble violently, instinctively tilting slightly backward.

It was as if Lu Tianxing had anticipated his evasive move, for his right leg shot out like lightning toward the man’s crotch.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Tianxing’s claw brushed past the man’s face, making him involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. But the next moment, a coldness assaulted his lower body, causing his face to change dramatically. Before he could react, Lu Tianxing’s right leg had already mercilessly kicked him in the crotch!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out, and instantly the man’s crotch was stained with blood.

"Ah!"

The man let out a heart-wrenching scream, clutching his groin and kneeling on the ground, blood dripping from the gaps between his fingers onto the floor. It was evident that Lu Tianxing’s kick had rendered him completely crippled, turning him into a eunuch.

Lu Tianxing glanced at the man with disdain, said nothing more, and walked straight into the Mu Family.

He had initially intended to kill this man, but he changed his mind. The technique the man used just now was treacherous, so it was only fitting to repay him in kind, letting him also taste the feeling of being crippled.

Lin Yafei and Han Zifeng’s expressions did not change when they saw this scene. A pitiful person must have some detestable aspects; he was not worthy of their sympathy. Besides, if Lu Tianxing had lost, his end would not have been any better than this man’s.

The three of them had just started walking forward when several figures suddenly appeared at the spot where Lu Tianxing had stood. One of them said, looking at the man who had fainted from the pain, "Dispose of him quietly for me."

"Yes."

Two of them nodded, lifted the man between them, and their figures flickered, vanishing from the spot.

The one who had spoken first stepped forward into the Mu Family but chose a shortcut instead of following Lu Tianxing.

Meanwhile, inside the Mu Family’s main hall, the whole place was brightly decorated, red lanterns hanging everywhere, looking extremely festive. In the hall, guests sat in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, yet a strange atmosphere pervaded the room.

For everyone was waiting—for Lu Tianxing to arrive. They were not just here to congratulate Tang Qingyun on marrying Mu Qingxue; they wanted to see the confrontation between Lu Tianxing and Tang Qingyun.

Yang Anlong was sitting in the crowd at the moment, not with Tang Qingyun. As he had said, he was here just as a guest, a spectator, not a participant.

Tang Qingyun, on the other hand, was sitting with Old Master Mu and his brother Mu Qingliu.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, showing no signs of the tension and anxiety that usually accompany an approaching battle.

"Thump! Thump!"

Right when the three of them were chatting and laughing, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the side, and the person who had been outside now walked into the hall.

"Old Master, Second Master, Lu Tianxing is here." The newcomer ignored the gazes from around and spoke respectfully to Old Master Mu and Mu Qingliu.

Upon hearing these words, Old Master Mu showed little change in expression, but Tang Qingyun and Mu Qingliu could not suppress a flicker of gloom in their eyes.

"Someone, drive him out for me. If he dares to barge in, capture him, and after the wedding, inform the Lu Family to take him back."

Before Old Master Mu could respond, Mu Qingliu had already spoken, his tone filled with a chilling aura. In his mind, cooperating with the Tang Family was absolutely the best option. The Tang Family was at the height of power, and with their support, the Mu Family could secure its position as a noble family in Beijing, perhaps even becoming the top family.

Of course, while the Lu Family might not necessarily be weaker than the Tang Family now, the Lu Family was beset on all sides and had offended countless factions. Collaborating with them would be like dragging themselves into the mire. If the Lu Family were destroyed, the Mu Family wouldn’t be far from annihilation either. After all, as the saying goes, to destroy the Lu Family, one must first eliminate their monstrous genius. If the opponent wiped out the Lu Family, they wouldn’t spare the Mu Family.

"Wait."

At this moment, Old Master Mu slowly spoke up: "Second Brother, guests are guests. Third Young Master of the Lu Family is our guest since he’s here. Our Mu Family hasn’t weakened to the point of turning guests away, right, Nephew Tang?"

The last sentence was naturally addressed to Tang Qingyun, who was sitting nearby.

"Naturally."

Upon hearing Old Master Mu’s words, Tang Qingyun immediately nodded with a smile. No matter what he truly thought, he knew that he had to say this now. As long as Lu Tianxing had not broken all pretenses, he would not choose to do so; otherwise, the Yanhuang Group would have a reason to intervene.

As he listened to Old Master Mu’s words, Mu Qingliu’s eyes became increasingly gloomy, but he was helpless. He could only let out a heavy snort and internally swear that if Lu Tianxing dared to cause trouble in the Mu Family, he would make Lu Tianxing pay the price.
