Lin Xiaotian's smile widened upon hearing this. His gaze turned playful. "It's only polite to reciprocate. Since you all wish for me to suffer a fate worse than death, I see no reason to leave you any opportunities."
"Perhaps I'll start with you. It seems you're all in agreement that you want to mess with me."
"Today, I will certainly give you a taste of my warm hospitality."
The remaining individuals finally reacted and rushed towards Lin Xiaotian, weapons drawn. Their faces were contorted with extreme anger.
There were over a dozen of them, yet Lin Xiaotian showed no fear. Not only did he dare to fight back, but he had also gone ahead and crushed their leader's bones. This made them feel utterly disrespected, as if Lin Xiaotian didn't even regard their dozen-plus men.
"You little brat, you're dead today. We don't believe you can be faster than our weapons. Just one pull of the trigger, and you'll be completely dead here."
"We came here for something else entirely. Since you're being uncooperative, don't blame us for being rude."
The leader, struggling, pushed himself up from the ground. His hand was completely numb, with only the bone-deep agony at his wrist remaining.
"Stop wasting words with him, just act. Break all his limbs first."
"Once his limbs are broken, I will torment him bit by bit, making him understand the terrifying consequences of offending me."
The remaining men didn't hesitate and pulled their triggers.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the villa, even startling the woman upstairs.
Lin Xiaotian's eyes, however, glinted with cold fury. "When you first arrived, I told you not to be too loud, not to wake my wife. My wife works very hard, and her rest isn't particularly good every night."
"And now you're preparing to use this thing against me? And with such a loud noise? This is making Xiao Ye very unhappy."
"When Xiao Ye is unhappy, the consequences can be very severe."
The leader chuckled sinisterly. "I didn't expect you to be so quick, little brat. You actually dodged it."
"But it's alright, we have more. Over a dozen weapons pointed at you. One of them is bound to hit. Once you're hit, you'll have no power to resist."
"Today, I will thoroughly torment you to death. And isn't your wife sleeping upstairs? In a moment, I'll drag you into her room and make you watch as I deal with your wife."
"Even if you die, I'll make sure you die filled with immense frustration and anger."
Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced towards the doorway, a chilling, bone-chilling smile appearing on his lips.
"Did you all hear that? Since you're here, there's no need to stand outside and watch the show. I'll leave these people to you. After all, they are from your Tian Luo Di Wang. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then perhaps I'll eliminate every single person from Tian Luo Di Wang you encounter."
"Don't doubt my strength. You know very well whether I can kill them or not."
At this moment, Daoist Ku Mu had walked to the doorway and happened to overhear the man's words. He was already trembling with fear, for he knew very well that Lin Xiaotian detested anyone who threatened those close to him.
Especially when the threat was directed at Lin Xiaotian's wife, this almost made Daoist Ku Mu faint.
He glanced at the people present again and understood why Lin Xiaotian had called him over. It was because those men bore the mark of Tian Luo Di Wang tattooed on them.
"You bastards, who taught you this? I've already issued a decree. Any member of Tian Luo Di Wang who dares to disrespect Mr. Lin will be subjected to three cuts to the flesh."
The leader turned his gaze to an old man and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. "Old man, stop trying to scare me. I never received any instructions saying not to deal with Lin Xiaotian."
"Your provocation is useless. We're not afraid of you knowing our superiors. Our superiors never interfere with our missions; they only care about the results."
Daoist Ku Mu was almost suffocated with anger. He now understood the feeling of being unable to control his own fate.
Even without thinking, he knew that this person before him was clearly ignorant. He was too insignificant, even as an outer member of Tian Luo Di Wang.
Daoist Ku Mu didn't know who had recruited this fool, but the actions of these people had crossed Lin Xiaotian's bottom line. If he dared to make any small moves or say anything excessive in front of Lin Xiaotian at this moment, he might also suffer. He had made up his mind and without hesitation, he quickly walked over and slapped the leader of the group hard across the face.
The leader didn't even have time to react before the slap landed squarely on his face.
He was sent reeling, his head buzzing.
The others present were also stunned. They were holding weapons. It was one thing for Lin Xiaotian to be unafraid; perhaps he was a reckless young man.
But where did this old man come from? He dared to lay hands on them?
"You're looking for death! Do you know who we are?"
"How dare you, an old geezer, confront someone from Tian Luo Di Wang? Tian Luo Di Wang never accepts old useless people. You're dead today. If you have the guts, don't leave. I'll call my big brother right now."
The leader didn't hesitate and took out his phone. He was enraged, but a chill ran down his spine.
Because both of these individuals, Lin Xiaotian and this old man, gave him a sense of extreme danger.
If these two wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping their hands. The weapons they brought would be utterly useless.
Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly, looking at Daoist Ku Mu. "My patience is very limited. We've clearly reached a cooperative relationship, yet you keep bringing trouble to my doorstep. How do you expect me to deal with you?"
Daoist Ku Mu's face turned pale. Especially when he recalled the precautions the higher-ups had warned him about during his previous call, he knew that even if Lin Xiaotian killed him, it would be a death in vain.
