Beside him, Luo Luo's gaze toward Lin Yi was filled with disdain.
Her family, the Luo Clan, often saw people like this—Sons who had been crippled, daughters who had been humiliated—All coming to demand justice.
And without exception, they were crippled again and thrown onto the streets.
Hearing her words, Lin Yi didn't get angry. His expression remained calm as he said evenly,
"You're asking what I can do, right?"
In the next instant, Lin Yi's figure vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, Tang Wan's long black hair was already gripped in his hand.
With a sharp motion, he smashed her head down hard!
Boom!
Tang Wan's skull slammed into the ground, leaving a shallow crater in the stone floor.
Lin Yi stepped on her face.
"I can kill you."
His voice was devoid of warmth.
Blood poured from Tang Wan's nose and mouth; the top of her head was slick with red. Terror filled her eyes.
She couldn't believe it—This young man actually dared to attack her in front of the Tang Clan's gates!
And his cultivation was far above hers.
She, at the Third Stage of the Bone Forging Realm, couldn't even muster a trace of resistance before being completely suppressed!
Even Luo Luo, standing nearby, couldn't hide her shock.
She hadn't expected this youth to be that bold.
Tang Wan clawed desperately at Lin Yi's foot, eyes bloodshot, teeth clenched.
"This is the Tang Clan! You dare lay a hand on me?! Are you looking for death? Let go of me now!"
Lin Yi's tone was cold and emotionless.
"I came to the Tang Clan today to kill."
With that, he reached out and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground.
Tang Wan's breathing grew ragged, her face twisting in panic.
"You can't kill me!" she screamed hoarsely. "I'm the daughter of the Tang Clan's Third Elder! If you touch me, my clan will—"
"Your father's already dead," Lin Yi cut her off flatly.
"What—?"
Tang Wan froze, her mind going blank.
The boy before her… was her father and brother's killer? Impossible!
Hadn't the Grand Elder gone to Qingshan Town to hunt him down? How could he be here?!
While she was still reeling in disbelief, Lin Yi's foot struck her abdomen.
Boom!
Her body arced through the air and soared above the Tang estate.
Lin Yi followed, leaping into the sky. y—His fist came crashing down.
Bang!
A dull, thunderous impact rang out.
Tang Wan's body burst apart in midair, scattering like a firework above the Tang estate—A grotesque, mesmerizing beauty.

Luo Luo stared at the scene, frozen in place, her whole body trembling as if plunged into ice.
Madam Tang Hao—the wife of the Tang Clan head—was her own aunt, her father's sister.
Because of that, Luo Luo often visited the Tang C an, and had grown close to Tang Wan—her best friend.
She had even listened to Tang Wan cry over how her father, Tang Qiu, and her brother, Tang Xiao, had been killed in Qingshan County.
Never had she imagined—The murderer was standing right before her.
Lin Yi ignored her completely. Carrying the wooden box, he walked through the Tang Clan's gates without looking back.
Moments later, Luo Luo came to her senses. She glared at Lin Yi's retreating, eyes blazing with fury.
He had killed her best friend.
Luo Luo's voice trembled as she shouted:
"You… you actually killed Tang Wan! The Tang Clan will never let you off! And neither will the Luo Clan!"
She was a member of the prestigious First-Rank Luo Clan. She assumed this young man would respect her status and dare not act against her.
She had overestimated him.
In Qingshan City, very few would dare defy her—but Lin Yi was not one of them.
In the next moment, Lin Yi's steps paused slightly, and his figure vanished from the ground.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Luo Luo.
A cold, cruel smile appeared on his face as he said lightly,
"Thanks for the Violence Points you've delivered."
With that, he swung a backhand across her face.
Smack!
Half of Luo Luo's face was instantly obliterated, leaving only a terrifying skeletal frame. Blood gushed out like a river.
[Killed a Body Forging Realm cultivator. Violence Points +400][Total Violence Points: 11,400]
Lin Yi casually wiped the blood from his hand and turned to enter the Tang Clan's main gate.
"The commotion just now… the Tang Clan should have heard it. They'll be arriving soon," he muttered to himself.
…
Inside the Tang Clan estate:
"Any news from the Grand Elder today?"
Tang Hao asked the Second Elder, Tang Tang.
The Second Elder shook his head and then smiled,
"The Grand Elder enjoys lingering in the pleasures of the flesh. He's probably dawdling somewhere again."
Tang Hao could only smile helplessly. Everyone in the Tang Clan knew that Grand Elder Tang Yun's greatest passion was women.
At that moment, a woman of lingering charm stepped out from a room carrying a tray of tea. She slowly approached the two men and gently set the tea on the stone table.
"Husband, the Grand Elder went to Qingshan County… what if something happens to him?" she asked with concern.
She was Tang Hao's wife, the youngest sister of the First-Rank Luo Clan—Luo Qionghua.
The Second Elder, Tang Tang, laughed heartily at her worry:
"You worry too much, Madam. The Grand Elder is a Meridian Clearing Realm cultivator. How could a mere boy from Qingshan County harm him?"
Tang Hao smiled faintly as well.
"Yes, Qionghua. I personally sent the Grand Elder to ensure everything goes smoothly. There's no way anything will happen to him."
Luo Qionghua nodded gently.
"Perhaps I am overthinking things."
Tang Hao took a sip of tea, then shifted the topic:
"Second Elder, is Tang Wan, the daughter of Third Elder Tang Qiu, at home?"
"The last I saw, she went outside the estate with the young lady of the Luo Clan. Seems she wanted to take a walk to clear her mind," replied the Second Elder.
Tang Hao sighed.
"The girl's father and brother were killed in Qingshan County. She's truly pitiful. Watch over her closely until the Grand Elder returns with that little brat. Then let her deal with him personally. It might help her vent some of that grief."
The Second Elder bowed: "Yes, Clan Head."
At that moment—
Boom explosion shook the air above the estate!
Tang Hao and the others snapped their heads up, staring toward the main gate of the Tang Clan estate.
A cloud of blood mist erupted violently.
