<h4>Chapter 1578: Chapter 1571: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes</h4>


    "Crack!"


    Apanied by the sound of bones cracking, Zhang Hu’s ear-piercing scream echoed in the air as his right knee was shattered by Lu Tianxing’s kick, leaving only some flesh connected, which looked particrly shocking.


    At this moment, the look Zhang Hu gave Lu Tianxing was not only one of rm but more of sheer terror. In Zhang Hu’s eyes, Lu Tianxing looked no different from a devil emerging from hell, especially with the gaze he cast upon him, as if looking at a dead man, devoid of emotion. This kind of gaze can only be felt on those who kill mercilessly because, in such people’s hearts, human life is worthless, like weeds, unable to stir any inner emotions.


    Lu Tianxing looked at Zhang Hu’s appearance and spoke again, his tone calm and without fluctuation: "Do you know what I hate most in this life? What I hate most is someone using people around me to threaten me. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you so easily; I will make you wish you were dead, to let you know the consequences of kidnapping my woman."


    Listening to Lu Tianxing’s calm words, Zhang Hu’s body trembled violently, and a fear that couldn’t be concealed appeared in his eyes. He was terrified, truly terrified; he never expected Lu Tianxing to be this ruthless, his methods so deadly that he gave no chance for anyone to retaliate.


    "No... Don’t kill me, I beg you, don’t kill me."


    Zhang Hu’s voice was filled with terror; in less than a minute, Qian Bao was sted, Brother Dao was killed, Divine Gun was dead too, leaving only him, Zhang Hu, in a state of unspeakable fear: "I beg you, don’t kill me; I’ll do anything you say, as long as you don’t kill me."


    "Not kill you?"


    Lu Tianxing’s sneer grew more intense as he pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "To not kill you isn’t impossible..."


    Before Lu Tianxing could finish his words, Zhang Hu hastily interrupted, saying: "Third Young Master of Lu Family, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything you want."


    "Is that so?"


    Lu Tianxing made noment, and his voice turned icy cold: "Tell me, who sent you?"


    "If I tell you, will you really let me go?"


    "Do you think you have any other choice?"


    Lu Tianxing’s eyes were like sharp des, stabbing straight into Zhang Hu’s heart, as a chilling killing intent spread out.


    Feeling the killing intent from Lu Tianxing, Zhang Hu couldn’t help but swallow: "It... It was Sun Xiong; Sun Xiong sent us, told us to kidnap Luan Hongyue, use her to lure you out, and then kill you."


    "Sun Xiong."


    A cold gleam shed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, and the vanished killing intent surged again.


    "Yes... yes."


    Feeling the cold and suffocating killing intent from Lu Tianxing, Zhang Hu couldn’t help but shiver: "Sun Xiong is quite familiar with Brother Dao, having once saved Brother Dao’s life in the north. This time, Sun Xiong offered us five hundred million to kidnap Luan Hongyue, bring you out, and best capture you alive. If not, then kill you."


    "Kill me?"


    Lu Tianxingughed loudly: "You think you can kill me?"


    If Zhang Hu had heard Lu Tianxing’s words before any action was taken, he would have scoffed, believing Lu Tianxing was only a martial artist who had just stepped into the middle-stage mythical level, whereas Brother Dao was at the mid-stage peak of mythical strength. Qian Bao was also a middle-stage mythical expert. Together, they could easily y Lu Tianxing. But now, seeing Lu Tianxing’s terrifying strength and ruthless means, Zhang Hu knew clearly that Lu Tianxing was not someone they could handle. And because he took the wrong step, Brother Dao, Divine Gun, Qian Bao were dead, and his life was in Lu Tianxing’s grasp.


    Seeing the murderous intent pouring from Lu Tianxing, Zhang Hu was horrified to the extreme. If he had known Lu Tianxing was this scary, even if offered five billion, let alone five hundred billion, he definitely wouldn’t have sought trouble with Lu Tianxing. Money is a good thing, but you’d need a life to spend it. Without life, of what use is money?


    "I... I’ve told you everything I know, I beg you, spare me..."


    Zhang Hu looked at Lu Tianxing, his face showing deep fear.


    Lu Tianxing looked at Zhang Hu with eyes devoid of any fluctuation, his voice calm as he spoke: "Sparing you isn’t a problem at all; as long as you follow what I say, I’ll give you a chance to live."


    "What do you want me to do?" Zhang Hu asked eagerly.


    "Call Sun Xiong, tell him you’ve already killed me, and then take Luan Hongyue to him. Ask where Sun Xiong is now."


    Lu Tianxing’s expression was cold. At Xue Man’s ss reunion, he had spared Sun Xiong once, but this time Sun Xiong dared toe looking for trouble. Well, he won’t be polite and will eliminate the rootpletely.


    Where is Sun Xiong now!


    Zhang Hu’s face changed abruptly after hearing Lu Tianxing’s words. He wasn’t stupid; Lu Tianxing asking about Sun Xiong’s whereabouts had only one intention — to kill Sun Xiong. He wouldn’t believe that Lu Tianxing would show mercy to Sun Xiong.


    If Sun Xiong dies, he would surely be a thorn in the Northern Sun Family’s side, eager to be disposed of quickly. However, he had no choice. Provoking the Sun Family might leave a sliver of hope for survival, but if he didn’t follow Lu Tianxing’s orders, he would die without a doubt.


    Just then, Zhang Hu’s phone suddenly rang with an elegant ringtone.


    Upon hearing the ringtone, Zhang Hu hurriedly took out his phone. Seeing the caller ID, his whole body trembled as he instinctively looked up at Lu Tianxing: "It’s a call from Sun Xiong."


    Lu Tianxing’s eyes shed: "Answer it. Remember what I said, don’t y tricks with me, or I won’t hesitate to show you what it means to live a fate worse than death."


    "Alright, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll agree to whatever you want."


    Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and answered the call without any hesitation.


    "How’s it going? Have you handled the matter I asked you to? Has the person been taken care of?"


    Before Zhang Hu could speak, Sun Xiong’s impatient voice came from the other end of the line.


    Hearing Sun Xiong’s words, Zhang Hu cautiously nced at Lu Tianxing, then said: "Young Master Sun, the matter is done. Lu Tianxing’s strength is too formidable; we couldn’t capture him alive, so we killed him. By the way, Young Master Sun, what about Luan Hongyue? Should we kill her too to eliminate future troubles?"


    "Luan Hongyue? Absolutely don’t kill her. Bring her to my vi, bring her to Vi No. 5 in Qingshui Vi District. I’m waiting for you there. Remember, don’t hurt Luan Hongyue; you must bring her to me intact. By the way, also help me bring Lu Tianxing’s corpse over. Hahaha, Lu Tianxing, you trash, you’re finally dead. Too bad you’re already gone, or I would certainly make your woman moan under me right in front of you. But it’s fine, I can y with your woman in front of your corpse, making her crawl under me like a bitch, hahaha..."


    From the other end of the phone came Sun Xiong’s excited voice.


    "Yes, Young Master Sun, Brother Dao and I are heading over right away."


    At this moment, in Vi No. 5 of Qingshui Vi District, Sun Xiong hung up the phone with Zhang Hu, a sinister smile on his face. Finally seeded, Lu Tianxing had finally died. Though it’s a pity Lu Tianxing died, otherwise he would make Lu Tianxing watch his own woman crawling like a bitch on the ground, being toyed with.


    "Lu Tianxing, rest assured, this is just the beginning. I will make all your women into bitches. Once I’ve grown tired of them, I’ll make them bitches avable to all, letting countless men y with the Third Young Master of Lu Family’s women."


    Sun Xiong sat on the sofa, a hint of madness on his face. These days, he had been living in hatred, eager to tear Lu Tianxing to pieces. But he also knew very well how terrifying Lu Tianxing’s power was. If he dared to make a move against Lu Tianxing and failed to kill him, he would be doomed.


    Originally, he nned to deal with Lu Tianxing slowly after returning to the north. Who knew his men stationed around Bai’s Group to watch Lu Tianxing would actually discover Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e, causing him to have them brought over, using Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e to forge a car ident message for Luan Hongyue, saying they were in a car ident, and Luan Hongyue fell for it directly, went to the hospital and got trapped.


    "Lu Tianxing, you’re finally dead."


    Recalling Zhang Hu’s words in the phone call just now, Sun Xiong’s body couldn’t help but tremble. In a trance, he seemed to see Lu Tianxing’s figure dying with wide-open eyes, watching his own woman crawling like a bitch under him, toyed with at will.


    "Young Master Sun, how is it? Did you catch that stinking bitch Luan Hongyue?"


    Just then, two figures walked in from outside, clearly Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e. At the moment, both of them had strong anticipation on their faces.


    "Caught, of course caught."


    Hearing Luan Aoxiong’s words, Sun Xiong shed a grim expression andughed heartily: "Family Head Luan, strictly speaking, I really need to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to take revenge."


    "What... what do you mean, Young Master Sun? What do you mean by that? I don’t understand."


    Looking at the grim smile on Sun Xiong’s face, Luan Aoxiong’s expression faltered slightly, a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.


    "Haha, don’t understand what I mean? No problem, just know that Lu Tianxing is already dead." Sun Xiong looked at Luan Aoxiong and said with a smile.
