"I say, brother, if you kneel down and kowtow to me now, and say you will withdraw from the family position competition, maybe I will let you suffer a little less."
Shen Shaokun bent over and stared at Shen Shaotian, smiling sinisterly.
Hiss!!
Shen Shaotian moved his body a bit, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth tightly, eyes blood-rimmed, staring fiercely at this second brother of his.
"What, still not convinced?" Shen Shaokun sneered, raising his right foot high again and stomping down hard.
Crunch.
The sound of bones cracking rippled leisurely across the open ground.
Such ruthless methods, having not even a shred of familial affection.
"Say it, or not?" Shen Shaokun finally moved his foot aside, pulling at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.
"Pah!"
Shen Shaotian spat out a mouthful of blood vehemently, gritting his teeth and saying, "You're dreaming! If Shen Shaokun really had the guts, you'd kill me right here!"
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Shen Shaokun's face changed again and again, saying darkly, "Yuning Mountain is full of danger, Shisu Town is at the center of this fragmented map struggle, plus you hang around Chen Yang everyday, dying from an accident isn't that hard to explain, right?"
Shen Shaotian: "..."
He figured it out, it seemed his second brother would stop at nothing for the family position.
"Heh heh..."
Shen Shaotian sneered, "Since that's the case, why aren't you taking action yet?"
"You really think grandfather is senile, unable to judge such a minor matter?"
Shen Shaokun's expression shifted several times, a touch of extreme cold flashed through his icy eyes.
The murderous intent was there, but indeed he dared not.
Killing family, especially with one's own hands, is a heinous crime wherever it occurs.
"Best not to provoke me, otherwise you know I can do anything!"
With a cold warning, Shen Shaokun publicly shouted at Chen Yang, essentially meaning that if he didn't come out to see him within an hour, he would definitely be torn apart and fed to the dogs.
Confident and powerful.
This call stirred up a fierce wave in the whole Shisu Town.
Yesterday, it was the Zhou Family, today it's the Southern Dipper Academy, one after another, giving a feeling that as if everyone under heaven was lined up to claim Chen Yang's life.
A heated discussion spread around.
Outside the empty town, Shen Shaokun glanced at Shen Shaotian, "Don't you hang around with him day and night? If I give the word, dare he not come to see me?"
Up in the sky, thick clouds arrived mysteriously, gradually shrouding.
Soon, a spring rain began to fall.
Still contemplating, refusing to let Shen Shaotian off so easily, Shen Shaokun rose to think, while the bustling Shisu Town felt as if the atmosphere was becoming dull as the rain poured.
But following closely, came an even greater uproar, like waves crashing ashore, a grand momentum enough to crush the suddenly occurred rain.
Earlier discussions about the Silver Armored Guards extinguishing the Zhou Family and growing close to Chen Yang, not many believed.
After all, Chen Yang's killing of a Silver Armored Guards unit was witnessed by countless people, already an ironclad affair.
Under such circumstances, if the City Lord's Mansion didn't immediately trouble Chen Yang, how could they get along so well?
Anyone with a bit of sense knew this was impossible.
However, at this moment on the central avenue of Shisu Town, under the spotlight, Mu Gang, Princess Ling'er's trusted aide, indeed walked alongside Chen Yang, shoulder to shoulder.
Occasionally chatting, smiles blossoming on their faces.
"This..."
"Am I dreaming, or seeing ghosts?"
Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbstruck, not daring to believe their eyes.
This undeniably confirmed the Zhou Family being eliminated by the Silver Armored Guards.
More crucially, the direction they were heading seemed to be outside the town?
This might be...
"There's a good show to watch now, Shen Shaokun probably never dreamed Chen Yang would walk alongside Princess Ling'er's people."
"Silver Armored Guards can extinguish the Zhou Family, today Shen Shaokun might not fare well either."
The rain intensified.
In the town outskirts, upon hearing that Chen Yang and Mu Gang were coming, cold sweat streamed down, no less intense than the rain outside, his face instantly turning pale.
"This, this..."
Shen Shaokun's ten fingers trembled wildly, in fright and anger, eyes filled with intense resentment and unwillingness.
What kind of luck is this?
Between these two, they were clearly arch-enemies, yet suddenly became friends, laughing and talking?
Primarily, he hadn't been in Shisu Town since yesterday, unaware of many happenings, news delay leaving him unprepared.
Had he known, Chen Yang went to the Zhou Family yesterday, Mu Gang went to the Zhou Family too, then Zhou Family got wiped out, Chen Yang unharmed, he wouldn't come so recklessly today.
Much less publicly challenging Chen Yang as he did.
This!!
The lineup he staged today was indeed strong, yet compared to the City Lord's Mansion's people, utterly insignificant.
Shen Shaokun's expression transformed multiple times, then promptly ordered his men to lift Shen Shaotian who was soaking in the rain and wipe the mud off him.
"That, Third Brother, much misunderstanding earlier, Second Brother drank a bit too much last night, still a little foggy now! All brothers here, don't take it to heart."
Shen Shaokun patted Shen Shaotian's shoulder, changing from arrogance to licking-faced laughter, "You too, Chen Yang getting close with Princess Linger, why didn't you tip your brother off?"
"Pah!"
Shen Shaotian spat out blood directly onto Shen Shaokun's face, "Let Chen Yang personally see you, later chop up and feed to dogs?"
"Where's your face, don't know your weight?"
"Now you say drunk fog, could it be, Chen Yang and Mu Gang have already arrived?"
Shen Shaokun: "..."
Gulp.
Though furious inside, Shen Shaokun dared not vent, eyelids twitching uncontrollably, swallowing hard, apologized again, "Second Brother erred, please don't hold grudges."
An apology didn't yield any results.
Just when Shen Shaokun tried to speak more, a large group appeared in view, led by none other than Chen Yang and Mu Ling'er's close guard Mu Gang.
Clearly visible, Shen Shaokun's body trembled abruptly, as if shocked.
This, this...
How could they arrive so swiftly?!
Suddenly, Shen Shaokun didn't know what to do.
"..."
