After cutting off Sato Bōto's neck with a single slash, Li Qianfan thoughtfully informed him, "This way is blocked."
Which way then!?
The terrified guests, along with Sato Bōto whose neck was gushing blood, slowly knelt and collapsed onto the ground, all stopping in their tracks.
"Everyone, with your hands behind your heads, it's best to crouch on the ground. We are here only to kill the entire clan of Tanaka Gen. We will not kill innocents indiscriminately, so please cooperate with our work."
One person holding a knife, blocking Li Qianfan at the doorway, gave a friendly reminder in a gentle voice.
He not only had to block the doorway but also the windows on both sides of it.
This was to ensure that none of the thirty-seven members of the Tanaka family would escape.
Of course.
Even if by some chance someone managed to escape, they wouldn't be able to for long.
Because even if they could miraculously get out of this villa, they wouldn't escape Bai Ziyan's eyes!
No one noticed that tens of meters above the villa, in the night sky, a miniature drone was hovering.
The drone could see everything within a hundred-meter radius of the villa with perfect clarity.
After receiving Li Qianfan's "friendly reminder," a woman in her forties, in a corner behind the door, was the first to put her hands behind her head and crouch down.
She served as an excellent example.
Many people understood and hurriedly imitated her, crouching down with their hands behind their heads.
Trembling uncontrollably.
Li Qianfan, satisfied, stepped into the room and closed the door.
Quack—
Another shrill croak echoed from the hall.
Li Qianfan looked up.
He saw Tanaka Kofang, acting like she had gone mad, lunging at Du Junlin with utter disregard for her own life!
It wasn't just her.
Three other women also croaked like frogs and leaped from the crowd, pouncing towards Du Junlin.
These three women were guests attending Mr. Tanaka Toshi's sixtieth birthday.
They were also confidantes of Tanaka Kofang, all of them of Swallow caliber.
Tanaka Kofang, as the second president of the Dark Web's Eastern Division, possessed far greater combat strength than Sakai Hyakue.
However, the cool wooden girl's combat strength was inferior to Shen Chongchong's.
With this disparity—
It was inevitable that Du Junlin, under the desperate onslaught of the four masters, would not be able to kill them all in a short period of time, even if he eventually succeeded in eliminating them one by one.
However.
Even though Li Qianfan hadn't expected Dark Web masters to be present, he didn't intend to go help her.
The White Bird combination had clear divisions of labor.
Bai Ziyan was responsible for surveillance.
Du Junlin was responsible for dealing with any troublesome tough opponents that might appear.
Li Qianfan was responsible for preventing escapes and finishing off targets, the "odd jobs."
In fact.
Li Qianfan would rather be responsible for dealing with the tough opponents.
But Du Junlin had said, "You, the 'bird' ranked last and youngest in our trio, just do your odd jobs well!"
Li Qianfan was quite annoyed by this.
What bird in the world could be as handsome as him?
Even Shen Chongchong and Dai Paipai, who loved it dearly, called it ferocious and terrifying.
Never mind.
On account of the wooden girl being an ex-girlfriend, Li Qianfan wouldn't argue with her.
He glanced at the five people fighting fiercely and began scanning the people crouching in the hall.
As he scanned these people, Bai Ziyan's voice came through his Bluetooth earpiece: "The man in the black shirt on the left is the Tanaka family's second brother-in-law."
Li Qianfan was not only wearing an earpiece but also had a camera clipped to his collar.
Bai Ziyan, observing the entire scene through the camera, could identify the targeted individuals on the spot.
Second brother-in-law?
Oh, oh.
Hello, second brother-in-law.
Please have a taste of my blade!
In your next life, don't marry Tanaka Gen's daughter.
Li Qianfan walked over and, with a clean slash, pierced the second brother-in-law's neck.
Blood splattered—
Amidst the second brother-in-law's desperate screams, Li Qianfan then looked at the man beside him.
Sturdy build, face full of flesh, didn't look like a good person.
This was Kumamoto Rokuro.
Kumamoto Rokuro, who had knelt on the ground with his hands behind his head, saw Li Qianfan looking at him from the corner of his eye and despaired.
He was indeed capable.
After all, he was the boss of the Black Dragon Group.
But he was willing to swear on all his ancestors!
No matter how capable he was, he was no match for these two.
After all, he had personally witnessed how elegant, even graceful, Du Junlin's movements were when he beheaded someone with a single sword.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Many times, not being able to do it meant death!!
But even in death, Kumamoto Rokuro had to struggle, right?
Kumamoto Rokuro prepared to spring into action—
But he saw Li Qianfan merely glance at him and pass by, his butcher's knife piercing the second sister's heart with a clean strike.
"I'm not part of the Tanaka family!"
Kumamoto Rokuro suddenly recalled Li Qianfan's "friendly reminder," instantly understanding what was happening. The tension in his entire body instantly eased.
He immediately touched his forehead to the ground, cradled the back of his head with his hands, adopting the posture of "I'm just a passerby. I'm well-behaved, please don't hurt me."
As for whether such a posture from the dignified boss of the Black Dragon Group would tarnish his prestige.
Heh heh.
What was prestige compared to staying alive?
Indeed.
Just as Li Qianfan was about to raise his arm and swing his blade at the not-so-good-looking Kumamoto Rokuro, Bai Ziyan's voice came through the headset: "This one is not a target. The woman in the sapphire blue evening gown is Tanaka Toshi's second daughter."
Then Li Qianfan let Kumamoto Rokuro go.
Kill.
Slaughter!
Miserable.
Screams!!
Cruel slaughter, and croaks full of malevolence!!!
This had become the main theme of the banquet for the elderly Mr. Tanaka Toshi.
Du Junlin tightly pursed his lips, using all his strength, his long sword holding back Tanaka Kofang and the other three, preventing them from leaving the northwest corner of the hall.
This way.
She could buy Li Qianfan time to identify members of the Tanaka family among the crowd.
And to carry out a brutal, merciless slaughter of them one by one.
Regardless of gender.
Regardless of age.
As long as they were part of the Tanaka family, kill them all!!!
Li Qianfan killed as he walked.
In the hall, with its door shut, the smell of blood grew stronger and stronger.
The Evil 209 virus carried by Li Qianfan, as the twenty-first person screamed and died under his blade, went completely berserk.
Suddenly.
His mind traveled back seventy or eighty years to the war-torn land.
Were the ancestors of Tanaka Gen, who wielded swords for world peace at the time, and killed innocents, looking exactly like he did now?
Li Qianfan felt that the slaughter faced by those innocent people at the time must have been even more tragic than it was now.
After all, he couldn't bring himself to do something like having the women of the Tanaka family suffer abuse before dying.
Lost in thought—
Li Qianfan, his face covered in blood, walked onto the stage.
On the stage.
Akiyama Ayako had long been scared stiff, leaning against a wall cabinet, staring at him blankly.
Instinct prompted her to cradle her over six-month-old belly with both hands.
Behind her, on the "big screen," Tanaka Gen, who had witnessed his relatives being slaughtered firsthand, was already bleeding from his nose and mouth, roaring something like a beast.
Li Qianfan walked up to Akiyama Ayako, looked down at her over six-month-old belly, and a clear look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
In his ear!
Bai Ziyan's cold voice came: "We White Birds were transformed from the souls of our brothers and sisters who died in Blackwater Forest."
Yes.
We are White Birds.
We are transformed souls!
Li Qianfan raised his left hand and, with extreme gentleness, pulled Akiyama Ayako into his embrace.
His eyes, however, were fixed on Tanaka Gen on the screen. He leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered, "My lady, I'm sorry."
Sorry—
A bright, sharp long blade, with a *shing*, emerged from Akiyama Ayako's back.
The blade tip, pointed at the screen, was bloody.
Drip.
A drop of blood from the blade tip fell to the ground.
Akiyama Ayako's eyes widened to their largest.
She still held her belly tightly with both hands, but as she brushed past Li Qianfan, she slowly bent her knees and knelt on the ground.
