They began attacking each other again, intending to defeat their enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them!” Xiao Tian’s underlings and the Dragon gang members began killing each other again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams of pain reverberated in the front yard of the Dragon gang headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Ting…Tang…Ting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and the Dragon gang leader swung their katana, and their eyes were filled with coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them managed to kick each other’s stomachs before finally they were pushed back two meters from where they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, both of them had the same thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle instinct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that there would be no victor if they continued to fight normally, so they decided to use battle instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This will determine who wins the fight.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a high possibility that the two of them would not have the stamina to fight anymore after using battle instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they still decided to use it because there would be no victor if they did not use that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, battle instinct would determine who would come out as the winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Inhale…Exhale…Inhale…Exhale…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy of heaven and earth slowly entered their bodies and terrifying auras appeared around their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Shui…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rushed towards each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength, reflexes, and speed were much greater than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of battle instinct, they could do many attacks in a second. Their attacks were so fast to the point it was hard to see them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Slash…Slash…Slash…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xiao Tian and the Dragon gang leader managed to land an attack on each other’s bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Oak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splashed out of their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they did not care about it and kept fighting. They were in the battle instinct mode, so every second was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidently, both Xiao Tian and the Dragon gang leader could use fifteen percent of the energy of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was one thing that set them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian could stay continuously in battle instinct mode for ten seconds, while the Dragon gang leader could only last nine seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the time Xiao Tian could hold on to his battle instinct had increased by 4 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they fought on an equal footing, but everything changed now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the difference was only one second, but one second could change everything when they were in the battle instinct mode because they could do many attacks in one second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Auk…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splashed out of the Dragon gang leader’s mouth before finally falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon gang leader tried to stand up, but he failed. He tried to stand up again, but he failed again because he no longer had any stamina left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used a lot of stamina before using battle instinct. Coupled with him being hit by Xiao Tian’s attacks when he was in a weak state, made him even more unable to move his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he knew that he had lost the war. “Hahahaha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of crying, the Dragon gang leader laughed loudly. He had built up the power to seek revenge, but he still lost the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian’s gang was not as powerful as the Xiao family’s force, but even so, he still lost the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha.” He felt like his life was a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he had a powerful gang, but he was wrong. He even could not defeat Xiao Tian and his gang with the help of Song Yu and Cang Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like his life was a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Dragon gang leader, Xiao Tian could still stand and walk. However, he no longer had the stamina left to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian even could not walk properly because battle instinct had consumed almost all of his stamina. “Why are you laughing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian did not understand why the Dragon gang leader laughed like that. He wanted to avenge his family, but he lost the war, so he should be sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I laughed at my fate.” The Dragon gang leader gave an honest answer. “My family got killed by your father’s family and here, I would die too. I even failed to avenge my family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew life was cruel and unfair, but he felt as if fate and this world hated him so much. He had lost everything when he was still little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had waited more than ten years to avenge his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He practiced martial arts every day. He kept practicing martial arts every day because he could avenge his family if he were a powerful martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still failed to avenge his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated Xiao Tian and his family. He hated the Xiao family. He hated this world because this world was unfair to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could spend time and laugh happily with their family. Everyone could have a good life in this world, but he could not get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even often asked God why they were so cruel to him. Why did he have to face such a cruel fate? What did he do to have such a cruel fate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only wanted one thing in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only desired to live happily with his family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fate and this world were so cruel to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not meet his family anymore. He could not spend time with them anymore. He could not laugh with them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he could not feel their warmth and caring behavior anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was recall the good memories with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he do to have such a cruel fate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay away from my leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon gang members rushed toward their leader when they saw Xiao Tian walking toward their leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to protect their leader!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiao Tian’s underlings stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master…” Fu Rou and the butler rushed toward the Dragon gang leader, but Chun Hua, Crystal, and Zhao Sheng stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay here!” Chun Hua stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Fu Rou and the butler tried to save their young master because they did not want him to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get in my way!” Fu Rou roared. “Young master, I will save you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Stab…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Xiao Tian’s underlings stabbed Fu Rou in the stomach with her sword from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Rou could not focus on the fight because she wanted to save her young master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not want him to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Uak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splashed out of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Rou then looked at the butler before finally speaking, “Old man, I can’t stay by the young master’s side anymore. I will leave him in your care. Take good care of him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Young master, please live well.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Rou fell to the ground and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler gritted his teeth. Of course, he was sad because Fu Rou had been with him and his young master for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had to save his young master. He could not let Xiao Tian kill his young master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Blood…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon gang leader cried blood when he saw Fu Rou die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Rou had been taking care of him since he was little. She had always been by his side since he was little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always comforted him when he lost everything. Fu Rou and the butler were his only family in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Fu Rou had left him forever, his heart was filled with sadness. At this moment, several memories appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello young master, my name is Fu Rou. I will be your maid from today onwards.” little Fu Rou smiled at a kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another memory flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master, how about we play in the backyard now?” little Fu Rou uttered, “The weather is good today, so let’s play in the backyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another memory appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master, don’t be sad. I will always be by your side forever. I won’t leave you until I die.” Fu Rou said after the Dragon gang leader lost everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Rou also protected him when the Xiao family destroyed his family. She kept cheering him up whenever he was down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like her promise, she was always by his side and always supported him. She never betrayed him and always put him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fu Rou…” the Dragon gang leader kept crying blood because he had lost another member of his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he did not scream, but his heart screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the butler could not get closer to him because Xiao Tian’s underlings stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian still did not do anything and only stared at the Dragon gang leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted his gaze from the Dragon gang leader to Fu Rou before returning his attention to the Dragon gang leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So she died, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian was startled when the Dragon gang leader cried blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt sorry for his enemy for the first time. After hearing everything from the Dragon gang leader, he could tell how miserable the life of the Dragon gang leader was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Tian wavered whether he should kill the Dragon gang leader or not. He did not immediately kill the Dragon gang leader because he felt sorry for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was afraid that the Dragon gang leader would try to kill him again if he let him go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon gang leader shut his eyes and spoke, “Kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian only stared at the Dragon gang leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to pity me because I don’t need it.” The Dragon gang leader uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. “No! Don’t kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian instantly turned his head towards the source of the sound because he was familiar with that voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, it was his mother’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1650,"2026-06-06T16:27:54.133Z",1,"novelbin.me","acda0b6c5d5cef86177f28ffa8c13c69baae593db68fa6c7c1b246eef701f061","illicit-relationship-chapter-1247","illicit-relationship-chapter-1245",1793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fillicit-relationship-cover.jpg"]
