Grandmother, why did you suddenly reveal your identity?
We agreed that Mother and I would team up and trick Zhuang Wujian into saying what we wanted to know.
Did you get tired of acting just because Zhuang Wujian, in her wildest dreams, wanted to use you as her subordinate?
Su Ziyu thought to herself, and then turned to look at Yang Xiao.
Her judgment was correct!
Yang Xiao, who had initially planned to enjoy her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law acting together to trick Zhuang Wujian into telling the truth, lost all patience for the show the moment she heard she was being asked to be a subordinate.
Li Wujiang also turned and glanced at Yang Xiao.
Then, with her gaze, she sent a clear message to Su Ziyu: "See? This is your grandmother. She not only likes to be flattered but also values her personal pride above all else. Whoever has such a mother-in-law is truly unlucky!"
And looking at the smug Zhuang Wujian—
Her pacing footsteps immediately halted, and she abruptly looked up at Yang Xiao.
The instant she looked up, Yang Xiao darted towards her like lightning: "Zhuang Wujian! I've thought of you constantly all these years you've been missing. I wanted to find you and beat you down again, making you call me 'Mom'! Tonight, thanks to my grandson's wife, I finally see you again. Ha, haha!"
Amidst Yang Xiao's triumphant roar, she had already reached Zhuang Wujian.
With her heart pounding, Zhuang Wujian had no time to think. She met the attack purely on instinct, in a hasty defense.
As Yang Xiao spoke those words, she had already thrown four punches and six kicks at Zhuang Wujian.
Although her speed and power were slightly inferior to that of the scoundrel Li Wujiang, they were still far beyond what a normal person could achieve.
Most importantly—
Even though Li Wujiang had dominated the martial world for decades and killed countless people; when it came to actual combat experience, especially technique, Yang Xiao could leave her in the dust!
Yang Xiao's title as the number one expert in the world was not just for show.
She had reached the pinnacle of martial arts by stepping on countless white bones, earning her the acknowledgment of all martial artists.
Upon seeing the sudden turn of events, Jin Gang and the others, without a second thought, shouted in unison and rushed in from three directions.
"Ziyu, you just watch."
Li Wujiang gently pushed Su Ziyu, and as she turned, her right leg flashed out!
Following Li Wujiang's push, Su Ziyu floated up like a kite.
When her feet touched the ground again, she found herself already inside the makeshift room.
Zhuang Wujian, who had been standing by the door, had now turned and was fleeing west.
Decades ago.
Zhuang Wujian was already slightly inferior to Yang Xiao.
And after decades?
She still felt a tremor of fear upon seeing Yang Xiao and instinctively wanted to escape.
Only when she could no longer escape would she steel herself for a fight to the death with Yang Xiao!
"Trying to run?"
As Yang Xiao pursued her like a shadow, she did not forget to instruct Li Wujiang: "Protect Ziyu well! If a single hair on her head falls, I'll kill you!"
"Got it."
Li Wujiang, filled with resentment, replied with a muffled voice, and within a second, she had already delivered her thirteenth kick.
Every kick she unleashed was with lightning speed and the force of a mountain crushing down!
Jin Gang, who was the first to attack, felt as if their left shoulder had been struck by a massive iron hammer; it was like being hit by a speeding train. Before they could even comprehend what was happening, they felt themselves being sent flying backward.
Bang.
Jin Gang flew through the air for a full seven meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
Immediately, they felt as if their bones had been shattered.
Especially the sharp pain in their left shoulder.
Jin Gang didn't need to look to know that their left shoulder blade had been severely broken by a casual kick from Li Wujiang.
In this world!!
What woman, with just a casual kick, could break Jin Gang's (although Jin Gang was not a top threat, their combat power was still very high) shoulder blade?
Jin Gang scrambled to their feet, their eyes wide with horror as they looked at Li Wujiang, and suddenly remembered someone.
That was the Eastern Divine Beast, Li Wujiang, who had possessed a pair of golden feet twenty-one years ago!
It could be said without exaggeration.
Other than Li Wujiang, no one else could deliver kicks with such speed and force, so fast, so fierce.
Yang Xiao couldn't, Mo Xie Zheng Dong couldn't either!
Li Nanfang couldn't, Li Xiao couldn't either!
"The two most powerful women in Dragon Ruins (or in the world, for that matter) have both come to the resort tonight!?"
The moment Jin Gang understood who Li Wujiang was, they felt their heart pounding frantically.
It felt as if it were about to leap out of their mouth.
This phenomenon occurred when one reached the extreme limit of fear.
Bang—
After Li Wujiang leaped into the air, her left foot flashed out and kicked a "Crisis" in the head.
The Crisis's head, like a stalk of straw blown down by a strong wind, snapped with a crack from the neck and dangled behind their body.
After the "War Demon Hall" had spent a large amount of money and resources to cultivate these "Crises," for them to die in an instant when encountering Li Wujiang, whose strength had increased by who knows how many times since twenty-one years ago, was definitely a testament to their countless good deeds in past lives.
"I had you help that little fox kidnap my son."
"I had you fools make me get scolded by Empress Dowager Xiao!"
"I had you make me lose face in front of my daughter-in-law!"
With every scolding, Li Wujiang unleashed a furious barrage of 13 kicks at each target.
Full firepower.
No mercy was shown.
The more subordinates of Zhuang Wujian she killed now, the less threat her son Li Qianfan would face.
This simple logic was something Sister Wujiang understood very well.
No one—
Even if Li Xiao were to personally arrive, they could not stop the Divine Beast from unleashing her full power when she went berserk!
Su Ziyu stood behind the door of the makeshift room, looking blankly as her mother-in-law beat people, and with each angry curse, their heads were smashed into pulp like watermelons.
Cruel.
Bloody.
Inhumane—
Su Ziyu suddenly felt like vomiting.
It wasn't because of the thick smell of blood at the scene, nor was it due to pregnancy.
It was purely because she could not bear the indescribable visual impact of the scene.
So, she bent over and opened her mouth.
Gag.
"Look! You dogs have scared my daughter-in-law so much she's throwing up."
Li Wujiang glanced back at Su Ziyu, her anger escalating. As she leaped into the air, her small, delicate boot, now covered in blood, fiercely kicked the back of Jin Gang's head as they were turning to flee.
Splat.
What was that sound?
Su Ziyu, who was happily retching, looked up from her task.
She saw that as Li Wujiang's explosive kick struck, something red and white splattered from Jin Gang's head.
It was all clearly visible under the moonlight.
Jin Gang, whose head had been "kicked off" by Li Wujiang, continued to run forward.
Jin Gang ran for more than ten meters before crashing into a tree, then fell backward onto the ground.
Jin Gang, now headless, twitched for a moment like a reanimated corpse before becoming still.
This also meant that the seven confidants cultivated by Zhuang Wujian over many years had been completely annihilated by the berserk Divine Beast in just a few minutes.
"Phew! How many years has it been since I lived so freely? If Empress Dowager Xiao hadn't scolded me, it would have been even better."
Li Wujiang, with a heavy obsession, looked up at the full moon and exhaled a long breath. The ferocity in her eyes gradually subsided.
Then she heard a gagging sound from behind her.
She turned around.
Her good daughter-in-law was kneeling on the ground, holding onto the doorframe with her left hand, still retching profusely.
"This child is good in every way, except she's too timid. Alas. If she were experiencing morning sickness right now, that would be even better."
Li Wujiang mumbled as she walked to Su Ziyu's side.
Putting on her best mother-in-law's benevolent smile, she gently patted Su Ziyu's back.
In front of the garbage heap of the unfinished building.
After being pursued to this spot by Yang Xiao, Zhuang Wujian realized that she couldn't keep running forever. She finally mustered her courage, roared furiously, and used all her might to fight Yang Xiao to the death.
Although Empress Dowager Xiao was the epitome of arrogance—
She was not foolish at all and understood better than anyone that "even a cornered rabbit will bite."
Furthermore, Zhuang Wujian, who was slightly inferior to her in all aspects, was far more formidable than a rabbit.
Especially now that Zhuang Wujian was no longer fleeing and was fighting her with all her might, as if she had gone mad.
Yang Xiao adopted a more serious attitude, using her agility advantage, and transformed into a blur of afterimages under the moonlight, circling Zhuang Wujian rapidly.
"Come on!"
"Yang Xiao, are you going to fight me head-on, blood battle?"
"You coward, why are you always dodging?"
"I, Zhuang Wujian, swear to heaven, if I don't sleep with Li Qianfan in this life, then I will."
As the thoroughly enraged Zhuang Wujian roared these words, she felt a heavy blow on the back of her head, one she couldn't withstand.
Her entire body flew towards the garbage heap, and she vaguely heard Yang Xiao's angry reprimand: "Li Wujiang, who told you to interfere? I haven't had my fill of fighting yet!"
Li Wujiang shouted back: "I'm not interfering! I'm joining in! Who told her to threaten to sleep with my son?"
Slap!
This was the sound of Yang Xiao raising her hand and giving Li Wujiang a heavy slap on the back of the head: "Scoundrel! How dare you talk back to me?"
"Grandmother, don't hit Mother."
Su Ziyu's voice also reached Zhuang Wujian's ears. She finally rolled her eyes.
And then she slipped into the boundless abyss of darkness.
