Chapter 450: Worried about Xu Tian

Gao Jinghao snorted coldly, a mocking sneer emerging on his face. That smile was like the cry of a night owl, eerie and terrifying: "You attacked the Ding family, so how do you want to die?" His tone was full of indifference and disdain for life, as if in his eyes, Xu Tian was just an insignificant ant that could be crushed to death at will, and life and death depended on his thoughts. His words were like an ice-cold verdict, ruthlessly announcing Xu Tian's fate.

A flash of anger and resentment flashed across Xu Tian's eyes, his chest heaving violently like a volcano about to erupt. He endured the excruciating pain, straightened his body, and shouted, "As the lord of a city, don't you know the laws of the empire?" His voice was hoarse with anger, but it carried an undeniable power, resonating through the building like a bell, trying to break through the darkness of injustice and awaken Gao Jinghao's conscience and sense of justice, which had been obscured by power. However, he knew in his heart that this might be just a desperate struggle, but he would never give up even a shred of hope.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Gao Jinghao suddenly threw back his head and burst into laughter. The sound was sharp and piercing, like the howling of ghosts and wolves in the night sky, and it seemed particularly abrupt and terrifying in the silent night. "What imperial laws? In Lingyuan City, you have to obey my orders." His laughter was filled with arrogance and conceit, as if he were the ruler of Lingyuan City, the god of this world. The law was nothing but empty words before him, without any binding force. His eyes gleamed with madness, the distortion and hideousness of absolute power.

Xu Tian's eyes widened in anger, the rage in them threatening to consume everything before him. "The stable lives you enjoy in this empire are all thanks to soldiers like us who fought on the front lines. Now General Li has returned from retirement, only to be humiliated by you, a bunch of pigs and dogs." His voice trembled with rage, and each word was like a bombshell, exploding in the oppressive atmosphere and shaking the hearts of everyone present. His body swayed with excitement, but his gaze remained fixed firmly on Gao Jinghao, as if to nail him to the pillar of shame and make him pay for his actions.

Gao Jinghao's face turned livid at Xu Tian's scolding. His body trembled violently, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles crackling as if he were crushing the air in his hands. His chest heaved violently as he gasped for air, each breath a spit of angry flames. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Kid, now that you've said that, go to hell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Jinghao's figure disappeared from the spot like a black lightning. His speed was so fast that it was beyond imagination. Only a blurry afterimage was left, as if he had merged into the darkness and become a part of the night.

Xu Tian was shocked, his pupils shrank sharply, and he instinctively wanted to dodge this fatal blow. His body reacted quickly, pushing off the ground with both feet, trying to dodge to the side. However, Gao Jinghao's speed was too fast, and before his body could make a complete movement, he was hit hard by Gao Jinghao. A huge force hit him like a surging tide, and Xu Tian felt as if his chest was hit by a sledgehammer. A mouthful of blood instantly spurted out of his mouth like a blooming blood flower. His body flew backwards uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, smashing several tables and chairs along the way, and wood chips and porcelain fragments flew everywhere.

Just as Xu Tian was about to crash through the window and fly out, Gao Jinghao's ghostly figure reappeared before him. A cruel smile clung to his face, a smile that shuddered like the whisper of a demon. His eyes held a playful, cat-and-mouse expression, as if he were enjoying this cruel game. Then, he raised his foot high and delivered a fierce, clean, and merciless kick at Xu Tian, ​​as if he were kicking a lifeless ball.

Xu Tian's body arced through the air, falling heavily to the ground once again. His entire body felt as if its bones were about to fall apart, the pain was unbearable, and every inch of his skin felt like it was burning. His consciousness began to blur, but the flame of stubbornness and unwillingness still burned in his heart. He gasped for air, and every breath seemed to be enduring immense pain, but his eyes remained unyielding, staring intently at Gao Jinghao, as if declaring to him: Even if it meant death, he would never bow his head.

In this round of attacks, Xu Tian's body was riddled with holes, blood stained his clothes, and gathered into a dark red pool under his body.

Chen Yu, holding Chen Xin'er, ran furiously through the deadly silent streets. His breathing was rapid and heavy, and every step he took raised a cloud of dust. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, dripping onto Chen Xin'er's face. Chen Xin'er's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, and she kept glancing behind her, as if hoping Xu Tian would miraculously appear.

As Chen Yu ran, he comforted her, "Xin'er, it'll be okay. We'll be okay." His voice trembled slightly, but he tried to appear calm. He held Chen Xin'er tightly, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go.

Chen Xiner shook her head, the worry in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest: "I'm not worried that Xu Tian will be killed, I'm worried that Xu Tian will go on a killing spree in Lingyuan City, and I don't know what will happen in the end." Her voice was soft but revealed deep uneasiness, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of concern for Xu Tian.

After hearing what Chen Xiner said, Chen Yu was stunned, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face: "A killing spree? Gao Jinghao is a powerful master at the grandmaster level, how could he do that?" He slowed down his pace slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Chen Xiner looked at Chen Yu deeply and said hurriedly: "Brother Yu, have you forgotten? Xu Tian has a combat power that is not inferior to Lin Feng, but he is sealed." There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, and her hands tightly grasped Chen Yu's clothes.

Some vague memories suddenly flashed through Chen Yu's mind, and his eyes suddenly widened, as if he remembered something important: "Xiner, do you mean, Xu Tian's seal?" There was a hint of surprise and nervousness in his voice.

Chen Xiner bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's the seal on Xu Tian. It's almost reached its limit. By then, Xu Tian may lose his mind and even massacre the city." Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if she had already seen the bloody scene.
