A cold voice reverberated in the air as moonlight draped Horn's body like a sacred cloak. Sun Peng, initially incredulous, turned to his companions, questioning Horn's audacious claim that they were ants. Their mocking nods confirmed his hearing.
Mocking laughter echoed. "Trash, haven't seen you for two years. Have you become mentally retarded?" Sun Peng taunted, belittling Horn for severing his path to immortality. Threatening Tang Yuxin, Sun Peng declared his intent to play with her and slowly torture Horn.
Undeterred, Horn strolled leisurely toward them, ignoring Sun Peng's threats. Sun Peng lunged forward with a powerful attack, aiming to crush Horn's left shoulder and force him to kneel. Confident in their superiority, Sun Peng's companions sneered.
As Sun Peng's right palm approached, Horn's expression remained unchanged. With precision, Horn held Tang Yuxin with one hand and clasped Sun Peng's right wrist with the other. The two middle-aged men and Sun Peng underestimated Horn, unaware of his true strength.
Ignoring Sun Peng's struggles, Horn exerted pressure, resulting in a series of bone-breaking sounds. Sun Peng's right wrist shattered, eliciting a piercing scream. Expressionless, Horn tore off Sun Peng's entire right arm, leaving him in agony.
"Master Sun!" Two middle-aged men shouted simultaneously as Sun Peng, filled with rage, called for assistance. Gritting his teeth, Sun Peng urged Brother Li and Brother Wang to help annihilate Horn, vowing to break every bone in his body.
"Master Sun, don't worry, leave this kid to us!" reassured Brother Li, a bald man whose forceful step created an explosion of ground and flying gravel. Charging toward Horn like a tiger, he declared, "Boy, in Linzhou, no one can act wildly on the Sun family! Remember, you are the ant!"
With immense power, the bald man unleashed a punch that shattered a heavy stone tablet nearby. Sun Peng, eyes filled with malice, taunted Horn, calling him trash.
Yet, Sun Peng's arrogance met a sudden halt. Horn, with a simple flick of his fingers, turned the bald man, a seventh-level Qi Condensation realm practitioner, into a ball of blood mist. Sun Peng's eyes widened, shock and horror seizing him as he witnessed the swift and overwhelming display of Horn's power.
The unfolding events left Sun Peng in disbelief. In Linzhou, seventh-level Qi Condensation practitioners were considered formidable, and Horn's sudden display of power perplexed him. The road to immortality, divided into realms like Qi Condensation, Innate, Sea Transformation, and Sky Control, had seen many people trapped at lower levels despite the resurgence of spiritual energy.
Sun Peng struggled to accept the transformation of the once-bullied loser into a formidable force. Horn's steps remained unwavering as he continued forward, undeterred by the cultivation disparity.
Brother Wang, a sixth-level Qi Condensation practitioner, witnessed the bald man's fate, shaking in fear. Terrified by Horn's prowess, he pleaded for dialogue, warning against offending the Sun family.
Ignoring the plea, Horn calmly dismissed Brother Wang's words with a single word— "Noisy." With a flick of his arm, Brother Wang met a grotesque end, leaving Sun Peng petrified.
Terrified, Sun Peng retreated, issuing threats to Horn. Unfazed, Horn approached, recalling the injustices he endured. Gripping Sun Peng's throat, he recounted past humiliations, demanding retribution.
With a swift motion, Horn lifted Sun Peng off the ground. Expressing the need to bring closure to past grievances, Horn's right palm tightened, leaving Sun Peng breathless. As Horn released his grip, a decisive slap echoed. Sun Peng's body collided with a wall, the moonlight casting a cold glow.
A faint scent of blood lingered as Horn exhaled, vowing to settle the score for the years of torment. His revenge on Earth began with the Sun family in Linzhou, a chapter that unfolded in the moonlit night. Horn glanced down at Tang Yuxin in his arms, a testament to the resolve fueling his pursuit of justice.
Even in a coma, Tang Yuxin bore a perpetual frown, her brows etched with worry. Horn sensed her concern, likely directed at him. Before confronting the Sun family, he needed to ensure Tang Yuxin's well-being.
With a wave of his arm, Horn transported Sun Peng's unconscious body away. Thoughts of future encounters with the Sun family lingered, and Horn acknowledged the necessity of preparing a suitable gift for such visits. Visiting empty-handed wasn't in Horn's character.
