At this moment, Tang San was looking at Xiao Wu and Tang Wutong with disbelief.
Why did his wife and daughter look at him with such strange expressions, as if they were staring at an insignificant stranger?
Especially his daughter. The look in her eyes when she looked at him was even more indifferent than Xiao Wu's, as if she didn't know him at all, which he couldn't accept.
Zhao Ling walked up to Tang San, scrutinized him carefully, and sneered.
"This boy is Tang San. Xiao Wu, who do you think is more handsome, me or him?"
Zhao Ling wrapped his arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist and touched her all over in front of Tang San.
Xiao Wu's breathing quickened, and she rolled her eyes at Zhao Ling in annoyance. "Husband, stop messing around. There are outsiders here..."
"So who do you think looks better, me or this kid Tang San?" Zhao Ling asked again, refusing to let Xiao Wu go.
"Do I even need to ask? Of course, you're more handsome. Otherwise, why would I want to marry you?"
"Tang San is so ugly; anyone with common sense wouldn't like him, right?"
Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San with disdain. That contemptuous expression made Tang San feel like something was stuck in his throat, and he glared at Zhao Ling.
Seeing this, Tang Wutong stepped up and kicked Tang San hard in the stomach.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you look at my husband like that? If you dare to look at my husband again, I will kill you."
Though Tang Wutong had heard that this boy was Tang San, she had no memory of him and didn't believe that this kid could be her father.
Besides, this guy looked like he was eleven or twelve years old—how could he possibly be her father?
However, Dai Mubai and Oscar, who were lying on the ground, matched her memory, so she could recognize them.
Tang San was kicked so hard that his back bent, veins popped out on his face, and his eyes nearly bulged out.
After kicking Tang San, Tang Wutong walked up to Zhao Ling and asked gently, "Husband, these guys were actually trying to steal the precious herbs from our house. What do you think we should do with them?"
"Those herbs were all cultivated by you with great effort. If they are snatched away by these guys, our family will suffer a huge loss. Should we kill them all, husband?"
"Uh..." Zhao Ling didn't expect Tang Wutong to make such a suggestion.
After thinking for a moment, he squatted down and pulled the rag out of Tang San's mouth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the rag was removed, Tang San—who had lost most of his teeth—started cursing at Zhao Ling.
"Mr. Zhao, what deep hatred do I have with you that you would kidnap my mother, aunt, wife, and daughter? I want to kill you! I want you dead, you beast, you animal..."
Zhao Ling frowned at Tang San's roar, then quickly blocked his mouth with the rag again, speaking slowly.
"Deep hatred? Are you even worthy? I never stole your mother, master's wife, or aunt. They are all my wives, and they have nothing to do with you. Right, my dear wives?"
Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, Tang Wutong, Liu Erlong, Tang Yuehua, and the others all nodded.
"Of course, husband. We sisters have nothing to do with him. He's so shameless that he has to come and touch us."
Ah Yin walked up to Zhao Ling, stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the lips, and then asked, "Yes, husband, sister Yin'er is right. How dare any random person try to touch us sisters? Husband, let's just kill him to stop him from causing trouble."
Xiao Wu raised her head and looked at Zhao Ling, then pretended to cut her throat with a knife. She truly hoped that Tang San would die quickly. This guy was a stain on her life.
She didn't want to keep him around to annoy herself and her husband. It was fine that he hadn't appeared before her sisters before, but now that he was practically seeking his own death, Xiao Wu felt that she must not let him go.
"Yes, husband, mom is right. Why should we keep a guy like this who poses a threat to us? Let's kill them all. Why don't we keep them for the New Year?" Tang Wutong also nodded and asked expectantly.
"Husband, why are you still hesitating? Just kill them already so they won't bother us anymore. Isn't that better?"
Tang Yuehua also looked at Tang San with disdain. She had no affection for this nephew she had never met before.
Moreover, it was Tang San's father who had kidnapped her older brother's fiancée and angered her father to death. She felt there was no reason to keep this nephew alive.
The girl had just said she would kill her husband sooner or later and wanted him dead. In that case, this nephew must not be allowed to live.
Seeing that all the women were demanding that Tang San and the Shrek group be killed, Zhao Ling remained silent for a moment before addressing Tang San.
"I originally wanted to keep you and play with you slowly, but my wives think you are too annoying.
You'd better die, so you don't dirty the eyes of my dear wives. Goodbye, forever."
After saying that, Zhao Ling waved his sleeves, and Tang San and the group of Shrek people felt their bodies mysteriously vanish.
Soon, they completely disappeared from everyone's sight, as if they had never existed in this world.
At the moment they disappeared completely, Tang San realized that Zhao Ling's power was far beyond what could be called "number one under the gods." Even at his peak in his previous life, he would probably have been just an ant in front of Zhao Ling.
He had thought that as long as he became a god, wiping out Zhao Ling would be easy. But who would have thought that Zhao Ling was so powerful?
He was certain that even if he became a God King and teamed up with four other God Kings, they might not be able to defeat Zhao Ling.
He never understood why Zhao Ling targeted him in the first place.
After killing Tang San and the Shrek group, Zhao Ling said to the women, "Wives, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon. Now that we've killed Tang San, we need to deal with the Haotian Sect, or they'll likely fight us to the death."
With that, Zhao Ling disappeared. The women were too lazy to worry about what he was going to do, so they prepared for dinner.
Although Tang Yuehua was somewhat concerned about the Haotian Sect, for her, her husband came first. As long as the Haotian Sect posed a threat to him, they didn't need to exist.
That day, the Haotian Sect, once known as the number one sect in the world, was completely erased from the history of the Douluo Continent.
No one saw what happened in the Haotian Sect that day.
In other words, everything that was seen disappeared completely, sending a chill through anyone who heard about it.
What god had the Haotian Sect offended to be wiped out like this? Was it a punishment from heaven?
