Hurt my loved ones? I'm not guarding this country's borders anymore!

The Zhou family residence.

The study was in a mess.

Precious antique porcelain was smashed to pieces, and fine Xuan paper was torn into countless pieces.

"Useless! Useless! Useless!"

Zhou Wanshan, the head of the Zhou family, a man whose every stomp in Cangcheng could shake the ground, now had bloodshot eyes and looked like a mad tiger.

At his feet, Zhou Jinli was holding his crippled hands, crying his heart out, tears streaming down his face.

"Father! Father! My hands... my hands are all broken!"

"That Shen Jinglong! He's a monster! He killed all of our people! He killed them all, Father!"

Zhou Jinli wailed and exaggerated, describing the events in the villa as a hundred times more bloody, portraying himself as an innocent victim.

Zhou Wanshan's chest heaved violently. He wasn't heartbroken for the dozen or so servants, or even for his good-for-nothing son.

What he cares about is his reputation!

His reputation as the Zhou family is at stake!

Shen Jinglong crippled his son, which was like rubbing Zhou Wanshan's face in the ground!

"He also said... he also said the next one would be our Zhou family..." Zhou Jinli cried, not forgetting to repeat Shen Jinglong's exact words, "He told us to wash our necks clean and wait!"

"Well done... well done, Shen Jinglong!"

Zhou Wanshan laughed in anger, stopped in his tracks, and his eyes flashed with resentment.

Originally, they had planned to unite the Zheng and Wang families and gradually take action.

Now it seems there's no need for that!

This little brat is forcing him to reveal his hand!

"Someone come here!"

Zhou Wanshan roared angrily at the door.

A butler scrambled in and knelt on the ground trembling.

"master."

"Go, bring Wang Batian of the Black Tiger Gang here!" Zhou Wanshan's voice was icy cold. "Tell him what I said: I've raised him for ten years, and now it's time for him to work for me!"

The butler shuddered.

Are they going to use the Black Tiger Gang?

That was the sharpest and dirtiest knife that the Zhou family secretly kept!

It seems the master is truly enraged this time.

"Yes...yes! I'll go right away!"

The butler dared not delay for a moment and crawled out on his hands and feet.

Zhou Wanshan looked at his son, who was still wailing on the ground, his eyes filled with no pity, only endless ruthlessness.

"Shen Jinglong... I don't care what kind of Northern Border Dragon Commander you are, in Cangcheng, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up before me!"

"I want you dead!"

"I'm going to bring back your despicable sister, that bastard child of unknown origin, and that bitch Qin Xuerong!"

"I'll make you watch them being ridden by a thousand men and trampled by ten thousand before your very eyes!"

"I will make you die slowly, filled with endless regret and pain!"

In the study, Zhou Wanshan's curses, as monstrous as those of a demon from hell, echoed.

……

Zheng Family Villa, late at night.

The lights were on in the room. Qin Xuerong sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter who was already sleeping peacefully, her face still streaked with tears.

The daughter's little hands no longer gripped Shen Jinglong's clothes as tightly as before.

This put her at ease.

Shen Jinglong stood quietly by the window, looking at the night outside, without saying a word.

His presence was like a mountain, giving this woman, who had suffered seven years of torment, an unprecedented sense of security.

"Commander Long".

The figure of Suzaku appeared at the door like a ghost, his voice extremely low.

"There's movement."

Shen Jinglong's gaze did not move; he simply uttered a single word.

"explain."

"The Zhou family has mobilized the Black Tiger Gang, with its leader Wang Batian personally leading a force of over three hundred men, who have already surrounded the entire villa area."

Zhuque's tone carried a hint of disdain.

"They blocked all the roads; it looks like they want to wipe us out in one fell swoop."

Shen Jinglong slowly turned his head and glanced at his daughter's peaceful sleeping face on the bed.

The daughter's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she had been startled by the faint noise coming from outside.

It's this tiny movement.

The murderous aura that had just subsided because of his daughter's dependence on him erupted once again like a volcano!

A bunch of ants who can't stand the light of day, how dare they disturb my daughter?

court death!

"Guard this place."

Shen Jinglong's voice was frighteningly calm.

"Don't let any noise disturb her sleep."

"Yes, Commander Long!"

Zhuque solemnly accepted the order, knowing that tonight, Cangcheng would shed blood once again.

Shen Jinglong strode outside.

The courtyard outside was already as bright as day, illuminated by torches.

Hundreds of Black Tiger Gang members, armed with steel knives and clubs, surrounded the small courtyard.

They were all fierce-looking, with sinister smiles on their faces.

Leading the group was none other than Wang Batian, the one who had been frightened away at the Wu family's wedding banquet.

Seeing that Shen Jinglong was the only person in the courtyard, his courage immediately grew.

Last time at the Wu family's house, with that wicked Sima Nantian around, he didn't dare to act recklessly.

There are no soldiers from the Military Command here today!

"Shen Jinglong!"

Wang Batian pointed his large sword at Shen Jinglong and sneered, "You chose the path to hell when there's a way to heaven! You escaped last time, but today you won't get away!"

What he was thinking was that the Zhou family head had said that as long as Shen Jinglong was killed, he would receive a million-dollar reward and 30% of the Zhou family's assets!

A generous reward will surely attract brave men!

"Brothers! Charge!"

"Kill him, and the Zhou family head will reward you handsomely!"

Wang Batian raised his arm and shouted, and the gang members behind him instantly turned red-eyed and charged towards Shen Jinglong with howls.

In their eyes, no matter how good Shen Jinglong was at fighting, he was still just one person.

There are more than 300 of them; each of them could drown him with a single spit!

Facing the surging crowd, Shen Jinglong's face remained completely expressionless.

He simply raised his eyelids.

In those deep, dark eyes, there was only sorrow.

He had only one thought in his mind.

I can't disturb my daughter's sleep.

and so……

Quick fight.

"Noisy."

He uttered two words.

The next second, his figure vanished from the spot.

The gang members at the front only felt a blur before their eyes, then a powerful force sent them flying backward uncontrollably.

While they were in mid-air, they saw a gaping, transparent hole in their chests.

boom! boom! boom!

Their bodies crashed violently into the people behind them, causing chaos.

"He's there!"

Someone screamed in terror.

Before he could finish speaking, his head shot into the sky.

Shen Jinglong was like a tiger among sheep.

No, he is more terrifying than a tiger.

He is a killing god from hell!

He didn't use any fancy moves; he only used the simplest, most direct, and most deadly killing techniques.

Fist, palm, fingers, elbow, knee...

Every part of his body has been transformed into the most terrifying killing weapon.

"Snap!"

He easily snapped the neck of one of the gang members.

"Pfft!"

He ripped out the heart of one of his gang members with his bare hands.

"Bang!"

He smashed one of the gang members' heads like a watermelon.

Screams, the cracking of bones, and the tearing of flesh echoed through the silent night, sending chills down one's spine.

The Black Tiger Gang members, who were so aggressive just a moment ago, completely collapsed at this moment.

They weren't facing people at all!

It's the devil!

"Run!"

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Oh my god! There's a ghost!"

The crowd began to scatter, everyone was crying and screaming as they ran away, wanting nothing more than to get as far away from that monstrous figure as possible.

But no matter how fast they run, how can they outrun Shen Jinglong's killing spree?

Wang Batian stood at the very back, his sinister smile frozen in place, replaced by boundless terror.

His legs were trembling uncontrollably, and the knife in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He watched as his proud subordinates were easily torn apart like paper in front of one man.

This is not a battle at all.

This was a one-sided massacre!

Less than five minutes.

Of the more than 300 elite members of the Black Tiger Gang, more than half have fallen.

The remaining hundred-plus people were also terrified, kneeling on the ground, defecating and urinating, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

The entire courtyard was awash in blood, with severed limbs and broken pieces scattered everywhere.

The strong smell of blood was almost nauseating.

Shen Jinglong stopped in his tracks.

There wasn't a single drop of blood on his body.

His gaze fell on Wang Batian, who was already terrified.

Wang Batian snapped out of his daze and turned to run away.

"Trying to run away?"

Shen Jinglong's voice rang in his ears.

When Wang Batian turned around, he saw that Shen Jinglong was already standing in front of him.

"what!"

Terrified, Wang Batian instinctively brandished his broadsword and slashed at Shen Jinglong with all his might.

However, his powerful and heavy slash was effortlessly caught by Shen Jinglong with just two fingers.

Wang Batian's face turned red as he strained with all his might, but the blade remained completely still.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Jinglong's eyes.

Click!

With a slight exertion of his fingers, he actually broke the large steel sword in two!

Wang Batian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could react, Shen Jinglong kicked him in the knee.

"what!"

Wang Batian's kneecaps were shattered, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

The excruciating pain caused him to let out a piercing scream.

Shen Jinglong stepped on his back, pinning him to the ground so he couldn't move.

"Who sent you?"

The cold voice was like a death sentence pronounced upon him.

"It's...it's the Zhou family! Zhou Wanshan!"

Driven by the fear of death, Wang Batian betrayed his master without the slightest hesitation.

"He told me to kill you, and then take your woman and child back..."

"Where is your base?" Shen Jinglong interrupted him.

Wang Batian dared not hide anything and stammered out an address.

"very good."

Shen Jinglong nodded.

"You can go die now."

"No! Spare me! Spare me..."

Wang Batian's pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.

Shen Jinglong slightly increased the pressure on his feet, and his entire chest collapsed, killing him instantly.

After killing Wang Batian, Shen Jinglong turned around, and Zhuque's figure appeared silently.

"Commander Long".

"Take a team and burn down the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters."

"yes!"

Zhuque accepted the order and left.

Not long after, in the northern district of Cangcheng, a vast manor suddenly burst into flames!

The raging fire illuminated half the night sky.

Countless residents of Cangcheng, still asleep, were awakened. They stared in horror at the towering flames and began to discuss the matter amongst themselves.

"It's on fire! That's the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters!"

"My God! What a huge fire!"

"I heard that tonight, several hundred members of the Black Tiger Gang went to attack Shen Jinglong, but... they were all wiped out!"

"What? The Black Tiger Gang... is gone just like that?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! That Shen Jinglong is a devil! In Cangcheng, whoever messes with him dies!"
