61: What the hell is the Temple of War? I've never heard of it!

Xiao Tianyu stomped his foot on the ground, and with a muffled ‘boom,’ the ground seemed to tremble.

The veins on his neck bulged, winding like angry snakes, his eyes instantly bloodshot, red as if about to drip blood, his face ferocious as he roared:

“Not enough? Then gather more men for me! Immediately! At once! I don’t care if the Lu Family Manor is a Dragon’s Den or a fortress of copper and iron, today I will level this Lu Family Manor and personally rescue my daughter! Whoever dares to stop me, I will tear him to pieces!!!”

His roar, carrying endless fury and chilling killing intent, was like a surging tsunami, raising terrifying waves that made the ears of those around him buzz and ache.

The Security Captain looked at Xiao Tianyu’s crazed appearance, a chill rising in his heart.

Who the hell is this madman?

Two days ago, a lunatic claiming to be a Celestial Venerable showed up, and today, another madman who started firing without a word. What on earth has been happening these past few days??

However, even though the other party was a madman, he showed no sign of backing down.

As the Security Captain guarding the Lu Family Manor, he couldn't retreat a single step!

If the enemy wanted to enter the Lu Family Manor, they would have to step over his corpse first!!

Wang Qiang swiftly swapped magazines, looked at Xiao Tianyu, and shouted loudly:

“You bunch of madmen, daring to cause trouble at the Lu Family Manor today, you will surely come and never return! If you know what’s good for you, surrender immediately!”

However, Xiao Tianyu completely ignored him, still roaring loudly, urging his subordinates to gather more men:

“Quick! Get them all over here, not a moment’s delay!!”

Xiao Tianyu’s subordinate quickly pulled out a satellite phone from his pocket, his movements carrying a hint of exasperated ferocity, as if he wanted to pour all his anger into this call.

He bellowed at the top of his lungs:

“Everyone, hurry to the Lu Family Manor in Yanjing City! All of you, drop your current missions immediately, forget everything else, and rush over! Delay for a second, and I’ll flay you alive!”

Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu’s previously taut emotions instantly settled, like a lone boat adrift in turbulent waves suddenly finding a solid harbor.

He straightened his back, his chin slightly raised, his face full of arrogance.

His posture made it seem as if the Lu Family Manor before him was merely an ant’s nest, capable of being razed to the ground with a flick of a finger.

“Hmph, Lu Family Manor, now I’d like to see how you’ll stop me!!”

Xiao Tianyu thought to himself, his confidence soaring from his feet to his head.

“Damn it, what a bunch of lunatics and madmen!!” Wang Qiang cursed under his breath, spat fiercely, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

Did they really think the Lu Family Manor was easy to bully!?

Wang Qiang was also enraged, and just as he was about to summon his subordinates to bring out more powerful destructive weapons,

A siren sounded from the road at the foot of the mountain.

A police car, wailing its sharp siren like a streaking blue lightning bolt, quickly broke through the lingering smoke and screeched to a halt.

The car doors swung open in unison, and several police officers in uniform filed out.

Upon seeing the tragic scene of fierce fighting before them, they instantly froze, their eyes wide with shock and horror, their holstered guns almost slipping from their grasp.

They had just filed out, and in an instant, they filed back in.

The team leader, huddled in the car, his lips trembling, hastily picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice shaking as he urgently shouted:

“Headquarters, this is the Sixth Patrol Team. A large-scale armed conflict has erupted outside the Lu Family Manor villa. Requesting backup, requesting backup! The situation is completely out of control!”

Before long,

Li Mingfeng, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, rushed over in a hurry, his face grim, his brows tightly furrowed, sweat rolling down his forehead.

Li Mingfeng had been in the Public Security Bureau for many years, handling countless difficult cases, but a scene like this, with gunfire and smoke everywhere, was rare even for him.

He took a deep breath, steeled himself, adjusted his police cap, and strode towards the two confronting sides, shouting loudly:

“Everyone, stop! On the land of the Dragon Country, openly engaging in a gunfight, do you have no regard for the law?!”

His voice carried an undeniable authority, striving to overpower the clamor of the battlefield.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang frowned, waved his hand at his subordinates, and sternly ordered: “Everyone stop! Put away your guns!”

The guards, well-trained, immediately and uniformly holstered their weapons and stood at attention, though their gaze remained vigilant, firmly fixed on Xiao Tianyu and his men.

Seeing this, Xiao Tianyu also snorted coldly and waved a hand at his battered and defeated subordinates behind him, “Retreat, rest for now!”

His subordinates supported each other, dragging their injured bodies, retreating in disarray behind him, their faces filled with resentment, their fists clenched, suppressing curses through gritted teeth.

Xiao Tianyu stood with his arms crossed, his chest rising and falling slightly as he tried to calm his anger, then looked up at Li Mingfeng, his chin slightly raised, and spoke arrogantly:

“I am Xiao Tianyu, the Hall Master of the War God Hall. I came here solely to retrieve my wife and daughter, who were abducted by the Lu Family Manor, and was forced to resort to force.”

Li Mingfeng’s heart suddenly trembled. Who in the Dragon Country didn’t know the name of the War God Hall?

That was a mysterious force overseas that struck fear into enemy nations, and its Hall Master was a legendary ruthless figure.

He subconsciously widened his eyes, his mouth slightly agape, a hint of panic flashing across his face, and he hastily bowed in greeting: “Hall… Hall Master Xiao, I’ve long admired your reputation.”

Seeing the other party's reaction, a hint of complacency rose in Xiao Tianyu’s heart, his tense expression softened slightly, regaining some of his former authority.

He glanced at Wang Qiang, a renewed chill in his eyes, and said coldly: “The Lu Family Manor acts so arrogantly and domineeringly, openly detaining innocent people. As a minion of the Lu Family Manor, do you really want to go down this dark path? If you don’t hand over my wife and daughter today, the War God Hall and the Lu Family Manor will fight to the death!”

With that, he leaned slightly forward, like a leopard poised to strike, and the pressure emanating from him abruptly increased.

Wang Qiang's face flushed red, the veins on his neck bulging, and he glared back, unwilling to show weakness:

“Hall Master Xiao, I only follow orders and protect the safety of the Lu Family Manor. You keep claiming your wife and daughter are here, but do you have any real evidence? The Lu Family Manor has stood in Yanjing for many years and has always been upright; how could they abduct people without reason! You rashly brought troops to attack, so you are already in the wrong!”

Xiao Tianyu laughed in extreme anger, his laughter like the eerie cry of a night owl, sinister and piercing: “Hmph, evidence? My daughter Xiao Xi and my wife Gao Xuewei were taken by Lu Chen, and there are both human and material witnesses! Don’t pretend to be foolish and cover for villains.”

Mentioning his wife and daughter, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, only to be instantly replaced by blazing fury!!

His daughter and wife were his inverse scales; no one could touch them, and those who did would die!!

At this moment, more police cars arrived, their flashing lights, red and blue intertwined, illuminating the stern faces of the crowd.

The police officers quickly fanned out, armed with live ammunition, tightly surrounding the two confronting sides, making the atmosphere even more tense.

Li Mingfeng raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, complaining bitterly in his heart; both sides were formidable, and a slight misstep could lead to disaster.

He cleared his throat and tried to mediate: “Hall Master Xiao, Captain Wang, everyone calm down first. There are many suspicious points in this matter; let’s sit down and calmly clarify things, and don’t resort to weapons again, disturbing the public.”

Xiao Tianyu frowned tightly, his face full of impatience, and he snorted coldly, which was taken as acquiescence.

Wang Qiang also gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.

Li Mingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only hoping this storm could subside here and not cause a huge disaster in his jurisdiction.

The smoke on the scene slowly dispersed, but the smell of gunpowder and the killing intent in the air had not diminished in the slightest.

Xiao Tianyu stepped forward, facing Wang Qiang directly, and said coldly: “Go, tell Lu Chen to come see me!”

His tone was unquestionable, like an emperor giving an order, every word carrying chilling pressure.

Wang Qiang was no pushover; he crossed his arms, squinted his eyes slightly, sized up Xiao Tianyu, and snorted with a sneer:

“Do you even deserve to have General Lu come see you? Don’t you know your own place?!”

Seeing this, Xiao Tianyu’s lips curled slightly upward, forming an arrogant arc, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes:

“I am someone you cannot afford to provoke. I advise you to obey obediently and save yourself trouble.”

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind, like a God of Slaughter from the dark night descending, his aura fully unleashed.

Wang Qiang was unwilling to show weakness, snorted coldly again, rolled his eyes, his face full of nonchalance.

He even swayed slightly on his feet, his swaggering yet defiant demeanor clearly showing that he didn’t take Xiao Tianyu seriously.

If the Director of the Public Security Bureau hadn’t arrived in time, he would have led his men to wipe out the other party just now, so how could they be so arrogant now?

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu’s subordinate became anxious, stepped forward, pointed forcefully at Wang Qiang, and glared, shouting angrily:

“Do you know who this is? This is the Hall Master of the War God Hall! Throughout the Dragon Country, who doesn’t know the prestige of the War God Hall? You are so ignorant, yet you still dare to pretend to be foolish here!”

Wang Qiang paused for a moment, scratched his head, his brows furrowed into a knot, his eyes full of confusion, and he mumbled: “What in the world is the War God Hall? Never heard of it.”

His expression didn’t seem feigned; he was genuinely bewildered.

Seeing this, everyone was utterly speechless, exchanging glances.

Xiao Tianyu’s anger flared up again, but he still maintained an arrogant and stern expression.

Later, when I rescue my daughter, I will definitely let this Lu Family Manor see the methods of the War God Hall, and see if they can still be so arrogant!

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, his gaze becoming even fiercer, staring intently at the gate of the Lu Family Manor, just waiting for reinforcements to arrive before he would storm in and cause a ruckus.

At this moment,

A clear voice slowly sounded, carrying a hint of playfulness:

“Who is looking for me?”
