Chapter 2367 - 2340: Rat Extermination Squad Takes the Stage

In Beijing, perhaps knowing that today is the fifth day of the month and that Lu Tianxing is heading to the Mu Family, Sima Lingyun leveraged his identity to clear the traffic from Lin Yafei’s villa to the Mu Family’s residence, allowing Han Zifeng to drive directly there without any stops.

Although encountering several obstructions along the way, they were all resolved without any danger. Moreover, with the support of the Yama Palace members covering them, Lu Tianxing and his entourage didn’t need to stop at all and simply proceeded toward the Mu Family.

A journey that would typically take over half an hour was completed in less than twenty minutes, and Lu Tianxing’s group entered the sole road leading to the Mu Family.

Logically, today should be the day of Mu Qingxue and Tang Qingyun’s engagement, and the street should be thronged with traffic. However, it was completely deserted now; not a car in sight, surrounded by silence as if everything had vanished. Even the breeze seemed to have ceased, no longer passing through this route.

"Little man, it’s too quiet here. Looks like there’s an ambush," Lin Yafei suggested, signaling Han Zifeng to slow down the car while speaking to Lu Tianxing.

"Boss, Sister Yafei is right; there is definitely an ambush here. What should we do next? Should we choose to take a detour?" Han Zifeng chimed in.

"No need."

Lu Tianxing waved his hand casually and said, "After all the effort they put into setting this ambush for us, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to them if we took a detour? Just drive straight in!"

"Yes, boss."

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Han Zifeng couldn’t help but silently mourn for the ambushers. Lu Tianxing’s words, though delivered calmly, carried an undeniable undercurrent of killing intent. It’s clear that if those people dared to show themselves, they would be engaging in a futile endeavor ending only in their death. Lu Tianxing would show no mercy.

As Han Zifeng drove forward, Lu Tianxing suddenly sensed a myriad of Qi permeating the air. His lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

Reaching into his pocket, Lu Tianxing took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The phone rang for just a second before someone answered. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Lu Tianxing immediately said, "Starving Ghost, are you in position? The little mice have jumped out; it’s time for your extermination team to play."

"Finally our turn, boss. You just go and fetch your lady from the Mu Family. I guarantee we’ll have these little mice dealt with thoroughly."

A voice, laced with unmistakable killing intent, responded from the phone.

"It’s in your hands. Besides, be cautious. If you encounter adversaries you can’t defeat, retreat immediately."

Lu Tianxing instructed succinctly, then hung up the phone without further ado.

After disconnecting the call, Lu Tianxing glanced at Lin Yafei and explained with a smile, "Lin Demon, not only can you call on Sima Lingyun, but I can also enlist my brothers for help. I had notified Starving Ghost and his crew to hide around the Mu Family’s vicinity in anticipation of this moment before I set out."

Planning ahead and acting accordingly—this perhaps describes the current situation we’ve orchestrated.

"Little man, how did you guess they would strike here?" Lin Yafei asked Lu Tianxing, intrigued.

"The reason is simple. If they wanted to target me, this route is the best place for it, being the only road leading to the Mu Family. It’s isolated from the city and devoid of civilians, ensuring no risk to innocents when they strike."

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s explanation, Lin Yafei nodded slightly, hesitated, then asked, "Little man, will Starving Ghost and his crew hold up?"

Just as Lu Tianxing was about to reply to Lin Yafei, a headless corpse suddenly flew from afar and landed heavily on the roadside. This abrupt turn of events startled Han Zifeng at the wheel, yet Lu Tianxing’s expression remained unchanged, as if this development had been anticipated all along.

Simultaneously, figures emerged by the roadside, each emanating strands of True Qi from their bodies. Amidst the Qi, a terrifying killing intent saturated the air, causing the temperature to drop noticeably.

Witnessing this scene, Lu Tianxing showed no intention of stopping but continued directing Han Zifeng to drive towards the Mu Family.

"Brothers, kill for me! Slay these bastards who dare attack the boss, butcher them!"

Within the crowd, Starving Ghost shouted ferociously, turning into a shadow as he lunged at a middle-aged man, his dagger tracing ghostly lines across the man’s body.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Sounds of sharp blades cutting through were heard, and the middle-aged man was instantly torn apart, undeniably dead, with a heavy stench of blood permeating the air.

Fu Tu, Tie Niu, and others sprang into action the instant Starving Ghost attacked, advancing towards their targets. Immediately, the air was thick with killing intent, mingling with the smell of blood.

Starving Ghost and his companions killed without restraint, yet the middle-stage Mythical Martial Artists hidden in the crowd could only stand there, paralyzed with fear. Their foreheads were slick with sweat, and they were too petrified to make any move. It was as if they were caught in a spell that rendered them motionless, forced to watch helplessly as Starving Ghost and his men slaughtered everyone they brought along.

It’s not that they don’t want to kill Starving Ghost and his men, but the moment they intended to act, a dense sense of imminent death gripped them, warning that any action would lead to their complete destruction. Thus, they could only helplessly witness the massacre without making a sound.

The street killings failed to affect Lu Tianxing in the slightest. He continued driving towards the Mu Family, the speed neither slow nor fast. If anyone tried to block them, Lu Tianxing didn’t have to act; numerous figures—either Starving Ghost’s crew or Yama Palace members—rushed forth to intercept any obstruction.

Through the combined efforts of Starving Ghost and Yama Palace, they became harbingers of death, continuously reaping the enemies’ lives. Unnoticed, blood had dyed the ground and even covered Lu Tianxing’s car, but he didn’t pause or alter his course.

He kept heading towards the Mu Family, as if the surrounding slaughter had nothing to do with him.
