After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

"Who are you!"

The middle-aged man endured the excruciating pain in his body.

His eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed on the young man in casual clothes not far away, his gaze revealing vigilance and hostility.

Just now, under that fierce shot, he felt as if his body was in a scorching furnace, and he was deeply hurt by a bone-chilling burning sensation inside and out.

What made him even more uneasy was that this seemingly casual strike had almost drained all his strength, leaving him unsteady on his feet.

"You're causing trouble on my turf, and you don't even know who I am?"

The young man's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile that seemed gentle, yet carried an unassailable air of authority.

As soon as he finished speaking, he calmly raised his hand and gently beckoned, as if there were invisible threads guiding him.

The silver spear that had just posed such a great threat to him instantly transformed into a dazzling streak of light, flying back into his hand at an incredible speed.

The moment the silver spear was firmly in his hand, an incomparably powerful aura instantly emanated from him, spreading rapidly to both sides like a surging wave.

The air seemed to be torn apart by this aura, emitting a buzzing sound.

Sensing the terrifying, suffocating pressure, the middle-aged man's expression changed.

His pupils contracted slightly, as if he had suddenly realized the identity of the person in front of him, and he blurted out: "You are Su Changkong."

Just as the middle-aged man had guessed, the composed young man before him was none other than Su Changkong, the guardian of Su City and the strongest person in Su City, as recognized by everyone.

"Go back and tell your master that this is not the Xu family's place, and he cannot be allowed to run wild here."

Su Changkong spoke in a flat tone.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression flickered slightly, and a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes.

He didn't leave immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing something, before mustering his courage to say, "Could you perhaps, for the sake of my master..."

However, before he could finish speaking and before Su Changkong could respond, his pupils dilated sharply.

Then, that familiar silver light, like a deadly bolt of lightning, rushed towards him once again.

This time, the speed was several times faster than before, so fast that his brain didn't even have time to react before his body instinctively sensed the aura of death.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the silver spear pierced through his body with unstoppable force.

They pinned his body firmly to the wall of the ruins behind him.

In an instant, blood gushed out from the wound like a spring, staining a large area of ​​the wall red.

"You... dare... kill me..."

The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief and horror as he looked at the silver spear piercing his chest, muttering to himself.

"I've already given you a chance, but you're still stubborn and won't leave. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you? Even if I did kill you, what could the Xu family do to me? Don't forget, this is my territory, and I won't allow others to act recklessly here."

Su Changkong said coldly, without the slightest pity or hesitation in his tone.

However, a slight, imperceptible fluctuation appeared in his eyes as he said those words.

After all, the Xu family is no ordinary power; its size is almost equivalent to that of the Shen family.

Although the Xu family did not occupy Kyoto, it was one of the Three Tigers of the South, holding a pivotal position in the entire southern region, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Unless under extremely special circumstances, Su Changkong would never easily kill the Xu family.

After all, the Xu family, as one of the Three Tigers of the South, has a deep-rooted network of forces and complex relationships behind them, enough to make any powerful person think twice before taking action.

However, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate in the slightest, because it all concerned Shen Shuchou behind him.

If Shen Shuchou were to meet with misfortune, the consequences would be far more terrifying and ferocious than the loss of a member of the Xu family.

Su Changkong knew all too well that those figures closely associated with Shen Shuchou were like calamities and demons descending upon the world.

Any one of them, taken individually, possesses the terrifying power to rival or even destroy the Xu family.

Su Changkong's decisive killing of the Xu family members was not only to provide Shen Shuchou with tangible protection.

This also subtly demonstrates that he firmly stands behind Shen Shuchou, which means he stands on the side of those terrifying figures.

To maintain the stability and tranquility of Suzhou and ensure that the city is not drawn into the huge turmoil that may be caused by Shen Shuchou's death.

Or perhaps it's out of his own personal interests that he's trying to establish some kind of potential alliance with these terrifying figures.

Therefore, from any perspective, his decision was extremely wise and necessary.

After dealing with the middle-aged man, Su Changkong's expression turned cold, and his gaze, sharp as lightning, fell on the blonde woman beside him.

With just that casual glance, the blonde woman felt a sudden chill run through her body.

She truly hadn't expected that Su Changkong would dare to so decisively kill the Xu family members.

"The same goes for the Shen family. On my turf, they have to follow the rules. Behave yourselves and get out!"

Su Changkong spoke in a cold tone, devoid of any emotion.

He knew that Shen Shuchou was connected to the Shen family in Kyoto, but he never expected that someone from the Shen family had been secretly lurking around Shen Shuchou all along.

Of course, Su Changkong understood that this was ultimately an internal matter between Shen Shuchou and the Shen family.

As long as the Shen family doesn't do anything detrimental to Shen Shuchou, he will remain inactive for now and observe the situation from the sidelines.

Upon hearing Su Changkong's order to leave, the blonde woman felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and the tension in her heart instantly eased.

She struggled to her feet, her steps slightly hurried, preparing to leave this place of trouble.

However, before leaving, she couldn't help but linger her gaze on Shen Shuchou for a moment.

Then, she parted her lips slightly, her voice, though soft, clearly reaching Shen Shuchou's ears: "Nice to meet you. My name is Shen Wanfu, and I'm considered your older sister."

Having said that, Shen Wanfu no longer hesitated. With a flash, she disappeared into the vast night.

After the middle-aged man died and Shen Wanfu left, Su Changkong slowly shifted his gaze to Shen Shuchou.

At this moment, the ruthless decisiveness and indifference that had just appeared in his eyes had faded, replaced by a hint of tension and concern.

He frowned slightly and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Shen Shuchou looked at him and immediately understood everything: "Thank you!"

"Don't worry, this is my territory. No one can hurt you here. I'll take you back."

Su Changkong said with a sincere expression.

Shen Shuchou wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Su Changkong's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to agree.

Su Changkong personally got into the driver's seat and started the car.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat somber throughout the journey, with neither of them speaking and each lost in their own thoughts.

Although Su Changkong was focused on driving, he would occasionally glance at Shen Shuchou through the rearview mirror.

He was full of doubts and observed carefully, but he couldn't see anything special about Shen Shuchou.

Aside from Shen Shuchou being indeed handsome, Su Changkong himself was by no means an ordinary-looking person.

Why did those mysterious and powerful beings show such favor to Shen Shuchou?

However, he knew in his heart that there must be some unknown reason why those people were surrounding Shen Shuchou, and these secrets were beyond his ability to know, nor did he have any intention of delving into them.

Sitting in the back seat, Shen Shuchou looked out the window. The colorful neon lights flashed by, but his thoughts were deeply drawn to Shen Wanfu's few words.

"Do I even have family?"

"Is... the blood of the Shen family flowing through your veins?!"

Shen Shuchou murmured to himself.

After his adoptive parents passed away, he never imagined that he would one day find out that he still had relatives in this world.

However, upon learning the news, he was not greatly disturbed, only a faint sense of melancholy arose within him.

Shen Shuchou certainly had no intention of returning to the Shen family.

His current life is good enough for him, and he really doesn't want to get involved in those complicated and troublesome things anymore.

Just as these thoughts were running wild, the car slowly came to a stop in front of a villa without anyone noticing.
