Chapter 572: Chapter 573: The Reasoning of the Big Family

"Annihilate the Sun Family!"

This statement caused all members of the Sun family to be filled with rage, each cursing nonstop. Such rebellious words were something they, as Sun Family members, had never imagined they would hear.

Sun Tongyuan waved his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent. Then, with a fierce look in his eyes, he barked, "Boy, you indeed have quite the nerve. Just for that statement alone, you deserve to die a hundred times over."

Song Xiaodong coldly responded, "That depends on whether your Sun Family has the capability."

Looking at Song Xiaodong, Sun Tongyuan slowly said, "Even if I capture you now, you wouldn’t be convinced in your heart. So let me ask you, what deep hatred do you have with Sun Zi’ang?"

Song Xiaodong clenched his fists and said, "He insulted my sister and forced her to jump off a building, nearly costing her life. Isn’t that a deep-seated vendetta?"

Sun Tongyuan frowned slightly and asked, "Is your sister dead now?"

"No."

Sun Tongyuan said coldly, "Since she’s not dead, where’s the deep-seated vendetta? Even if he insulted your sister, that’s not a big deal. Our Sun family can compensate you, but you dared to intrude into our Sun family, attack our family threshold, and kill our family guards. That is an enormous crime!"

"Haha..." Song Xiaodong suddenly laughed loudly, then took a bold step forward, staring at Sun Tongyuan and said, "What a great display of a major family’s demeanor, degrading women and forcing people to suicide—all trivial matters to you. But attacking your threshold becomes an enormous crime. Your family’s reputation is more important than ordinary human lives. As for killing your family guards, those two were Sun Zi’ang’s accomplices, the culprits behind my sister’s sufferings. I had every right to kill them, anyone who insults my sister, I shall execute."

A middle-aged man in his forties said solemnly, "Fourth master, let me capture this youngster and let him await your judgment."

Sun Tongyuan said coldly, "Humph, the boy is too arrogant. Break his legs first, then we’ll talk."

The man nodded and then turned to walk toward Song Xiaodong.

Next to Sun Tongyuan, he seemed like just an ordinary middle-aged uncle, but with each step he took, his figure seemed to rise slightly taller, and his aura grew stronger. By the time he reached Song Xiaodong, he resembled an unsheathed sharp sword, his entire body radiating lethal sharpness and a killing aura.

The man stopped, stating, "You are Song Xiaodong. I’ve heard of you. Sixteen and Eighteen have also mentioned you to me. I am Sun Five. Come on, show me what abilities you have that made you dare to run wild in our Sun Family home."

Song Xiaodong, having learned about these members of the Sun Family, tensed up. The name ’Sun Five’ meant that he was ranked fifth in the Sun Family in terms of strength.

Rankings are somewhat abstract, but what truly made Song Xiaodong cautious was the strong aura that Sun Five exhibited. It was undoubtedly beyond what ’Sixteen’ and ’Eighteen’ could compare to.

Song Xiaodong wasted no words and immediately lunged at Sun Five with a charge, throwing a punch at him.

"Well met!" Sun Five bellowed, launching a fierce punch himself. It was time to assess Song Xiaodong’s strength.

Song Xiaodong had the same intention, and the two’s fists collided without any fanciness.

When high-ranking masters compete, moves and combat experience are essential for victory, but the primary foundation for winning still lies in one’s innate strength. Only when their strengths are comparable do moves and combat experience become crucial.

Having provoked the fifth strongest of the Sun Family, Song Xiaodong also wanted to see if he still had enough advantage. If he couldn’t even handle Sun Five, there was no need for him to continue forcing his way in here; he would have to change his approach.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Song Xiaodong and Sun Five both stepped back two steps.

"Well done, kid!" Following Sun Five’s deep shout, he immediately pounced on Song Xiaodong again, and the two immediately tangled into a brawl.

Sun Tongyuan couldn’t help but frown. Normally, for any affairs of the Sun family, it usually sufficed to let Sun Five handle them, which he could easily resolve. It had been years since anyone had lasted more than a few moves against Sun Five.

Unexpectedly, Song Xiaodong was fighting equally with Sun Five. He indeed was a talented individual. It would be a pity to eliminate him just like that. If he could be persuaded to join the Sun family, that would add a strong fighter to their ranks.

At that moment, Sun Zi’ang was inside the Sun Family Courtyard when he was informed that someone had come to seek revenge against him.

Sun Zi’ang immediately scowled. He had dismissed Song Xiaoru’s suicide attempt yesterday, but her injuring him had irritated him greatly.

Now hearing that Song Xiaodong had come seeking revenge as well, he was furious and immediately sprang up and rushed over.

As soon as he saw Song Xiaodong fighting heatedly with Sun Five, Sun Zi’ang immediately yelled, "Fuck! This bastard dares to come here! Uncle Five, break his legs for me, I want to slowly deal with him!"

The Sun family’s Family Guards, being among the top ten, held significant status, such that even a direct descendant like Sun Zi’ang had to address them as ’uncle.’

Nonetheless, being a Family Guard, while they were respected, Sun Five still had to follow the orders of Sun Zi’ang and others.

Song Xiaodong was fully focused on his fight with Sun Five, a rare opponent of high skill. Such expertise was seldom encountered even during his time in the military.

This just proved that true experts were monopolized by the major families. With skills like Sun Five’s, he would definitely be top-tier in the military.

Even though he had come for revenge, Song Xiaodong did not want to end the battle too quickly.

But hearing Sun Zi’ang’s voice, Song Xiaodong’s expression changed immediately, and all other thoughts vanished, now fixated only on Sun Zi’ang.

"Kid! I’m your opponent right now; defeat me first before you concern yourself with others!" Although Sun Five had been fighting for a long time without gaining the upper hand, instead of getting frustrated, he became more eager, noticing Song Xiaodong glance at Sun Zi’ang, he relaxed his attack and shouted loudly.

Song Xiaodong said sternly, "Step aside; you’re not my opponent!"

Sun Five glared at him and said, "Big talk! Let me see your real skills then." He also sensed that Song Xiaodong had not been fighting with his full strength.

"Now, anyone who dares to stop me won’t be shown mercy!" Song Xiaodong’s aura suddenly escalated, and he fiercely attacked Sun Five.

Sun Five’s face changed immediately, and he shouted, "Protect the Sixth Young Master first, get the third brother, no! We need the second brother to handle this!"

Sun Zi’ang, who was initially rushing over aggressively, panicked upon hearing Sun Five’s shout; he quickly ducked behind several others, thinking, ’What a joke! Even Sun Five is saying this; how formidable is this kid?’
