Chapter 2170 - 2143: Can I Take That as a Compliment?
Time flowed like water, gone in a blink.
Half an hour later, Lu Tianxing drove the Hummer to Tang Wenhu’s hideout. After slowly bringing the car to a stop, Lu Tianxing and Xue Bing got out at the same time.
"Mr. Lu." As soon as Lu Tianxing and Xue Bing appeared, a figure suddenly materialized beside them, speaking in a respectful tone.
This was one of the experts Angel had arranged here to monitor Tang Wenhu and his group. Naturally he recognized Lu Tianxing, and also knew exactly what kind of relationship Lu Tianxing had with Angel, so his tone was full of respect, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Lu Tianxing looked at this man, gave a slight nod, and said, "They’re still inside?"
"Still inside, not a single one has left."
The man said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, do you need us to make a move and force them out?"
"No need. I’ll do it myself."
Lu Tianxing narrowed his eyes, a flash of cold light sweeping through them. "I really want to see what kind of ’gods’ they think they are."
As his voice fell, Lu Tianxing shifted his gaze to Xue Bing beside him. "Xiao Bing, you stay here. Don’t go in. I’ll go in alone."
"Mm."
After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Bing lightly nodded and didn’t say anything, because she knew very well that everyone inside was an expert. Even if she followed Lu Tianxing in, she wouldn’t be able to help, and would instead become a burden to him.
"Tianxing, be careful in there."
"Mm, don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Lu Tianxing nodded again, then let his gaze fall back on the man in front of him. "Her safety is in your hands. Also, keep an eye on the surroundings for me. If anyone tries to run, keep them here."
"Yes."
The man nodded gravely.
Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything more. He strode directly toward the house ahead.
Although Tang Wenhu’s hideout was in an urban village, it was in such a remote area that calling it the outskirts wouldn’t be an exaggeration. There were almost no high-rises around, only low, flat houses. The only exception was the two-story building Tang Wenhu was hiding in. In front of the building was a more than two-meter-high red-brick wall, blocking any view of what was going on inside.
Lu Tianxing walked forward step by step. Instead of vaulting over the wall, he went straight to the front gate and knocked on it very politely.
"Click!"
Right after Lu Tianxing knocked, the tightly shut gate suddenly swung open on its own without so much as a breeze.
Looking at the suddenly open gate, Lu Tianxing’s expression didn’t change at all. He lifted his foot and walked in, as casually as if he were walking into his own home, without the slightest psychological burden.
"Bang!"
And just as Lu Tianxing stepped inside, the gate that had just opened suddenly shut again on its own.
Hearing the sound of the gate closing behind him, Lu Tianxing’s gaze didn’t change. His face icy, he swept his eyes over the spacious courtyard and said in a flat tone, "Since you know I’m here, then all of you come out. Hiding your heads and showing your tails—that’s not really your style, is it?"
Lu Tianxing’s voice was very calm and very soft, but it carried immense power, reverberating through the air and lingering on.
All around was deathly still. Other than Lu Tianxing’s voice echoing, everything was silent. No one answered, no sound came from anywhere. It was as if this house were completely empty.
Lu Tianxing’s face didn’t change in the slightest. He didn’t get angry, and instead said in the same even tone, "What, you still don’t want to come out? Or do you want me to drag you out one by one?"
At that moment, a voice finally rang out.
"Worthy of being Lu Tianzhan’s son. Truly, a tiger father has no dog son. Third Young Master of Lu Family, I don’t know whether to admire your courage... or your stupidity. You dare to break in here alone. Aren’t you afraid you’ll die with no grave to bury you?"
The voice appeared out of thin air, equally calm and unruffled, but filled with an unmistakable killing intent and icy chill.
After hearing this voice, Lu Tianxing slowly lifted his head and fixed his gaze on the red-brick house ahead.
As Lu Tianxing looked over, the tightly closed door suddenly opened from within. Tang Wenhu walked out slowly with five middle-aged men, then stopped five meters in front of Lu Tianxing, eyes gleaming as he stared at him.
"I really didn’t expect the Third Young Master of Lu Family to have such guts. Knowing there are so many people who want you dead, you still dare to come to Xiangjiang alone. Aren’t you afraid you’ll die here?" Tang Wenhu spoke slowly, his gaze running up and down Lu Tianxing as he sized him up.
This was his first time seeing Lu Tianxing, but Tang Wenhu had to admit in his heart that Lu Tianxing was far stronger and far more terrifying than his father. At the very least, he had never seen such an aura on Tang Qingyun. If Tang Qingyun and Lu Tianxing stood together, Tang Qingyun would be a bit inferior.
"Can I take that as a compliment?"
Lu Tianxing looked at Tang Wenhu, expression calm, and said mildly, "In that case, I’ll thank you."
"No need to thank me. You’re destined to die today anyway. I don’t need thanks from a corpse."
"A corpse? You’re right, I don’t need to thank a corpse. Because in my eyes, you all have only one ending today: death. As for you..."
Lu Tianxing fixed his gaze on Tang Wenhu. "Judging by the way you look, you should be the one leading this little scheme against me. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die too quickly. I’ll personally ask you who sent you."
Though his mouth said he wanted to ask who the mastermind was, the chill and killing intent in Lu Tianxing’s tone were obvious.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a flash of anger passed through Tang Wenhu’s eyes. "Good. Very good. Today I’ll test just what kind of skill Lu Tianzhan’s son has. Let’s see whether you, this monstrous genius of the Lu Family, really have the ability to defy the heavens."
"You’re sure you want to make a move on me?"
Lu Tianxing’s eyes slowly narrowed, the corner of his mouth curving into a bloodthirsty smile.
In an instant, the killing intent the two of them had been concealing burst out completely.
The two locked eyes, like two tigers meeting deep in the forest. The light in their eyes was enough to make one’s heart tremble, brewing a cold and ruthless intent to kill that made it clear both of them wanted nothing more than to send the other to hell.
