The group, under the dim light, gestured and slowly drew their long sabers. One of them silently twisted the doorknob.
Just as they were silently prying the door open, they saw a figure standing at the entrance.
Lin Xiaotian's face broke into a brilliant smile.
His row of neat, small white teeth gleamed exceptionally brightly.
He raised his hand in a shushing gesture. Before those people could react, he had already stepped out of the room, then tightly closed the door, and turned to face everyone present with a smile.
"Tonight, I originally wanted to have a good night's sleep."
"It's so comfortable to cuddle with my wife in a warm bed, but you had to come and cause trouble, which makes me very unhappy."
The leader saw that they had been discovered. His eyes held a fierce killing intent, and his gaze was as cold as a knife.
"Since you've already discovered us, you don't get to live."
"No need to waste words with him, kill him directly!"
As he spoke, the long saber in his hand directly slashed towards Lin Xiaotian's neck.
The speed was lightning fast, and there was no hesitation.
Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. The moment the saber swung towards him, he simply snapped his fingers, tightly clamping onto the blade.
His gaze turned even more stern: "Be quiet."
"Absolutely do not wake my wife, or you will all die."
The eyes of those present were already blank with shock, staring stupidly at Lin Xiaotian's fingers tightly gripping the saber blade, unable to react.
Lin Xiaotian did not give them time to react.
With a slight exertion of force, his fingers snapped the blade in two, and then he swept it across the bodies of those people.
The speed was like lightning, in just an instant.
Except for the one who had drawn the saber, the rest of them silently collapsed to the ground.
Lin Xiaotian kicked each of them, sending them flying out of the villa.
His strength was immense, yet the kicks were silent, as if he were kicking away a ball of cotton.
As they landed on the lawn outside, blood gushed from their eyes, ears, and mouths.
The remaining leader's pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes filled with disbelief. He instinctively wanted to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Lin Xiaotian grabbed him by the neck.
"Let's talk outside."
"Disturbing my wife's rest will make me very angry."
As his voice fell, in an instant, he was outside the villa, casually kicking the people lying on the ground further out onto the road.
Those people were already silent.
Only the leader remained alive.
Lin Xiaotian's face still held that faint smile, his voice calm: "Tell me, what were you here for tonight?"
"Did you want to kill me, or target my wife?"
"I'll give you only one chance to answer."
After he finished speaking, he released his grip.
The leader fell to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath. The suffocating sensation had made him believe his neck was about to be twisted off.
The threat of death turned his face deathly pale.
His eyes were filled with terror, looking at Lin Xiaotian as if he were a shadow of a demon. He kept backing away, his voice trembling.
"Please don't kill me, we were just following orders."
"I don't know who is behind this. We just received orders to deal with you, and tonight we were supposed to kill you here."
"I don't really understand the specifics. Please don't ask me any more about this, I beg you not to kill me..."
Lin Xiaotian stepped forward.
In one step, he was in front of the leader, and then he stomped hard on the man's face: "Are you a killer organization behind this?"
The leader felt as if his head was about to be crushed. At this moment, he had no desire to resist at all.
His voice trembled as he said, "We are just a local force, specializing in taking on grudges and killings. As long as someone pays our price, we dare to do anything."
"It's just that we didn't expect your strength to be so formidable."
"We lost tonight. Behind us, there is a boss. As long as he takes the money, he won't easily let this go. If you spare my life, I can go back and report to the boss. He'll know your strength and won't come after you anymore."
"We don't dare to face opponents who are too powerful and go to our deaths."
"Only after I go back and publicize your influence will others be wary. Otherwise, even if you're not afraid of us killing you, you'll be afraid of us threatening those around you."
"The boss behind us is unscrupulous and has no bottom line."
A smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face: "What you say makes sense. Then I'll let you go now."
"You can go back."
Hearing this, the leader was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
He believed his words so easily?
But seeing Lin Xiaotian's cold eyes, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over him. He didn't dare to hesitate, and prepared to scramble away.
"Wait a moment!"
These three words were like a death knell.
The leader, instead of stopping, ran even faster.
Lin Xiaotian flicked his wrist and sent a pebble flying, hitting the back of the leader's knee.
"Bang!"
His ankle was instantly broken, and the leader fell face-first onto the ground, his face bloody and bruised.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "I told you to wait, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I didn't say I wanted your life!"
"I want you to clean up this garbage."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
The leader breathed a sigh of relief and nodded frantically, "I'll move them all right now, without leaving a single trace."
"Please, big brother, spare me!"
Lin Xiaotian walked back into the villa with his hands behind his back: "Go back and properly publicize my might to your organization, let them all know my strength."
"If they still want to court death, then I might kill them directly at any time."
"I will definitely relay your message, and I will also let them know your power."
The leader dared not argue, speaking with extreme speed, his panicked face as pale as paper.
However, he had another thought in his mind.
When he returned, he would report this matter to his boss, and then his boss would definitely not let this bastard go. He would surely send even more powerful experts.
