A woman's voice broke the tense atmosphere of the scene. Everyone turned to look, their faces filled with curiosity and anger.
Who dared to reprimand everyone present?
But upon seeing the woman, everyone put away their displeasure and replaced it with smiles.
The newcomer was a young woman in her early twenties, her face lightly made up and elegant, dressed in a gold and purple qipao that exuded understated luxury, subtly revealing her extraordinary status.
Fang Yuan's expression shifted slightly upon seeing her. He quickly approached Li Xiaotian and whispered.
"Let's go quickly, she's Lin Chu, Long Batian's wife!"
But before her words could finish, Li Weihai and the others burst into laughter. Li Weihai looked at Lin Chu and said with a smile.
"Haha, Madam Long, the banquet hasn't started yet, why are you here so early?"
Lin Chu saw that the person speaking was Li Weihai and immediately walked towards him with a smile. Although she had walked over with an arrogant air just moments ago, she was perceptive. With her husband Long Batian's current status, he could walk freely in the capital, but there were still some families he needed to maintain good relations with.
"Grandpa Li, why are you all standing here? There were too many people earlier and I couldn't see clearly. Some of the things I said might have sounded unpleasant, but they weren't directed at you. Please don't take it to heart."
"Hahahaha, no, no!" Li Weihai said with a smile, then pointed at Li Xiaotian and gritted his teeth.
"It's good that you're here. Tonight, you're half the protagonist of this banquet. This is Li Xiaotian. His behavior tonight has been extremely rude, causing a scene at the banquet, and he even occupied the seat at table one. He even attacked someone from the Zhao family just now. We were about to deal with him."
Lin Chu's expression immediately turned grim upon hearing this. She was aware of Li Xiaotian's affairs in the past few days. Her husband, Long Batian, wanted to eliminate him, yet this person dared to attend the War God's banquet!
"Hmph! Li Xiaotian, you have a lot of nerve! Is this a place you're qualified to be? This is my husband's banquet, and you, someone like you, are not fit to attend!"
Lin Chu's expression was cold, her eyes flashing with disdain, and she continued.
"You even dare to sit at table one? Are you challenging my War God husband!"
"Guards, drag them out, break their legs, and make them kneel outside the hotel!" Lin Chu ordered her subordinates behind her. The four guards she brought were all seasoned veterans who had fought alongside Long Batian, and their strength was formidable.
The four guards behind Lin Chu's eyes flashed with coldness as they strode towards Li Xiaotian and the others.
"Miss Lin, please don't misunderstand. We have invitations. We accidentally sat in the wrong seats earlier. Please don't be angry, we know we were wrong!" Fang Yuan said immediately, his face filled with pleading.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you're qualified to speak to Miss Lin?" Zhao Lu of the Zhao family immediately interrupted Fang Yuan.
"Exactly, just a lowly贱人 that our Zhao family discarded. Is this a place for you to speak?" The people from the Zhao family all reprimanded.
Lin Chu looked at Fang Yuan with a cold and arrogant gaze, too lazy to speak.
At this moment, Lin Chu's four guards had already reached Li Xiaotian. Their faces were contorted with ferocity. To oppose their master, Long Batian, this person deserved to die a hundred times over.
"Are you sure you want to make a move? Have you considered the consequences?" Li Xiaotian's tone was calm as he gave Lin Chu a mocking look.
"How dare you threaten me?" Lin Chu's eyebrows shot up, and she gave Li Xiaotian a stern look before scoffing.
"Originally, I just intended to break your legs and hand you over to my husband for disposal. I wouldn't get involved in this, as I am a weak woman. But since you're being so uncooperative and seeking death, I'll grant you your wish!"
"I heard you have an invitation? Tonight, I want to see who has the audacity to give you an invitation. I will make everyone related to you pay for your foolishness!"
Lin Chu continued to sneer, her face full of arrogance and pride. Now, as the War God's wife, everyone who dared to question or disrespect her would have to pay the price!
"Heh heh, kid, the madam has spoken. You'd better kneel down!" One of Lin Chu's four guards said with a cold laugh. Then, he fiercely kicked towards Li Xiaotian. Simultaneously, his other three companions engaged Long Yi, while the remaining two dealt with Ye Qingmei and Fang Yuan. Their attacks were exceptionally vicious, aiming to break all of Li Xiaotian's legs in one strike!
"You are seeking death!" Li Xiaotian was enraged by this sight. A terrifying aura of ferocity erupted from him. Looking at the guards attacking him, he swiftly unleashed a punch.
"Bang!" The person who attacked Li Xiaotian was sent flying back in shock. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Li Xiaotian. What was his strength? He couldn't even block a single move from him. Even Long Batian, with his War God-level strength, couldn't subdue him so easily.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" On the other side, Long Yi moved with great power, using both hands simultaneously, easily overpowering the other three.
All four guards were filled with shock. Two War God-level powerhouses! Extremely strong!
"Long Yi! Leave no survivors!" Li Xiaotian commanded calmly.
"Yes, King!" Long Yi responded, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he moved quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the three guards previously subdued by Long Yi were instantly killed. The guard who was kicked flying by Li Xiaotian turned pale upon seeing this and quickly pleaded.
"Spare me!! I am a subordinate of War God Long Batian!!"
"Bang!" What greeted him was a fist from Long Yi. Death!
All of this happened very quickly, in less than a minute, mainly because Li Xiaotian and Long Yi's strength was too great. Dealing with these four was as simple as crushing an ant.
The entire venue instantly became deathly quiet. Everyone stared at the scene with shock. After all, the guards Lin Chu brought were Long Batian's subordinates, originating from the military. Such individuals were extremely powerful.
These aristocratic families loved to recruit such formidable individuals.
But to their surprise, these four, working together, were so easily annihilated by Li Xiaotian and his subordinate?
In one move?
What shocked the attendees even more was that Li Xiaotian had ordered the guards to be killed!!
They were Long Batian's subordinates! They also had military identities. By doing this, Li Xiaotian was not only forging an irreconcilable enmity with Long Batian but also provoking the military?
Everyone silently watched Li Xiaotian, and then looked at Lin Chu.
Lin Chu's face turned pale. The scene before her had completely stunned her. She looked at Li Xiaotian, her expression becoming ferocious.
"You killed them! You dare to kill them? They are my husband War God Long Batian's guards assigned to me. You actually killed them? Who gave you the courage to kill them!!"
