After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Those women can't protect themselves; they'll only be a burden to you! What's the big deal if they die?"

A hint of anger and disappointment flashed across Dugu Yan's face.

She originally thought Lin Li was making things difficult for her and the Ye family, but she never expected it was because of those few ordinary women!

Lin Li stared at Dugu Yan with a grim expression and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said they were a burden!"

Dugu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. "You need to learn to let go, just like your master did back then!"

"As long as you are strong enough to stand at the pinnacle of this world, what kind of woman wouldn't you have? To be controlled by others for the sake of a few women is a disgrace to your master!"

Lin Li originally had some respect for Dugu Yan, after all, she was his master's first wife and an elder.

Even though she stood by and did nothing, which led to Gu Xiaomeng getting hurt, he just assumed that she wanted to teach him a lesson.

But these words completely crossed his bottom line.

In Lin Li's heart, Su Qian and his aunt were not accessories or playthings, much less burdens that could be discarded at will!

They are real people with flesh and blood, and they are the people he loves!

"Shut up!"

Lin Li glared at Dugu Yan and roared, "What right do you have to judge them? You're a woman yourself, and you were forced away by Luo Zhengting back then. Do you also consider yourself a burden to your master?!"

"presumptuous!"

Dugu Yan, stung by this, snapped, "I'm doing this for your own good! Only by giving up these useless women can you truly become strong!"

"Screw your awesomeness!"

Snapped!

A muffled thud.

Wumian seemed to have grown impatient and slammed the hilt of his sword heavily into Dugu Yan's chest.

"puff--"

Dugu Yan was already seriously injured, and this blow left her completely weak, but she still stared intently at Lin Li.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Faceless flicked the blood off his knife and said in a sinister tone, "Old woman, since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, he was about to make a move.

"Wait a minute."

Dugu Yan stared stubbornly at Lin Li, her tone icy: "Lin Li, if you still consider that old man your master, then listen to my last piece of advice."

"Save only the children of the Ye family bloodline... Yaojia has a Yin constitution, she cannot die. As for the others... including those women, give up on them."

Looking at this woman who was still weighing the pros and cons even now, Lin Li's last bit of respect for her vanished.

"Dugu Yan".

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, calmly saying, "Listen carefully. In my eyes, you, and everyone in your Ye family combined, are not as valuable as a dog I keep."

Dugu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Although Lao Ba is an animal, it knows how to protect its master, how to be grateful, and who is good to it."

Lin Li looked at her with a mocking expression, "And you, who call yourselves prestigious sects and ancient martial arts families, don't even have the most basic humanity."

"I came to rescue people, not because I want to curry favor with your Ye family."

He looked at the Ye family disciples hanging from the trees. "I came only because of my master and that idiot Ye Yaojia's plea for help."

That's all!

After saying that, he turned his head away from Dugu Yan and looked at Ni Haichao instead.

"What do you want me to do?"

Ni Haichao, who had been watching the play, was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He thought Lin Li was angered by Dugu Yan's cold-bloodedness and decided to compromise.

"Hahaha! Good! A wise person knows when to yield!"

Ni Haichao laughed a few times, then winked at the beautiful woman, "Give him the medicine!"

The beautiful woman picked up the small white porcelain bottle from the ground, walked tremblingly to Lin Li, and handed the bottle to him with both hands.

"Handsome...handsome guy...medicine..."

Lin Li didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the bottle.

All eyes were on him.

A few seconds later, Lin Li reached out and took the medicine bottle.

Ni Haichao and Wumian both breathed a sigh of relief, and smug smiles appeared on their faces.

Once Lin Li accepts the medicine, it's like he's boarded their pirate ship; he'll become a knife in their hands from now on!

But the next second, something unexpected happened!

The moment Lin Li took the medicine bottle, he suddenly grabbed the beautiful woman's chin with his right hand!

Click!

With a sharp crack, the woman's jawbone was forcibly dislocated, forcing her mouth to open wide.

"Ugh—!!!"

The woman stared in terror, struggling desperately, but she couldn't break free from her restraints.

"Since it's a good thing, let's not waste it."

After Lin Li finished speaking, he poured the entire bottle of poison into the woman's mouth, then suddenly slammed her jaw shut, expelled his internal energy, and forced her to swallow it!

"Gulp!"

This series of actions was so fast that no one had time to react.

"you--!!!"

Ni Haichao's smile froze instantly. He never expected that Lin Li would disregard the safety of the woman beside him!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Dugu Yan, who had been closing her eyes and awaiting death, suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Good! Good lad! You've got guts! Just like that old bastard! Hahahaha!"

Although Lin Li didn't respect her much, seeing her fight back so decisively gave her a strange sense of satisfaction.

Lin Li glanced at her with disgust, not wanting to hear her praise at all.

He threw the woman, whose neck was already being choked and whose eyes were rolling back, towards Ni Haichao, and roared into the dark depths of the forest, "Kill!!!"

The next second, bang! bang! bang!

Suddenly, many lights appeared in the woods!

Da da da da—

The silence of the forest was shattered by a burst of gunfire!

Lin Li had no intention of coming alone to his death. Although he was furious, he wasn't stupid.

He had already made comprehensive plans after Ye Yaojia first visited the ward.

He instructed Fang Yong to lead Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin, the siblings, to guard Villa No. 1 in the Tang Palace and protect the safety of Su Qian, Lin Yuehua, and others.

Fang Yong possesses superhuman strength, the Zhang siblings are exceptionally skilled, and with the villa's own security system, it is absolutely safe unless attacked by the military.

Then he had Liu Dayao and his brothers patrol around the First Municipal Hospital, knocking out and taking away any suspicious people they saw.

As for this lakeside island...

Lin Lirang, Lei Xiangqing, and Du Yu led a team together, bringing a total of fifty security elites!

Fully armed and dressed in black diving suits, they had silently infiltrated the forest by armed swimming, completing the counter-encirclement right under the noses of the masked ninjas.

"Who goes there?!"

Ni Haichao's expression changed instantly when he saw the men in black suddenly appearing around him.

He had calculated everything, accurately predicting Lin Li's personality and weaknesses, but he hadn't anticipated that Lin Li would actually control such an armed force!

"Baka! There's an ambush!"

Faceless was also startled. He brandished his longsword, deflecting several bullets fired at him, and shouted to his men, "Defend! Defend!"

However, his masked ninjas, though skilled in assassination and sneak attacks, were nothing more than sitting ducks in the face of such regular firepower.

In just one encounter, more than a dozen ninjas were shot and fell to the ground.
