Chapter 576 - 577: It’s Hard to Get Out
Song Xiaodong landed a successful strike and avenged a great injustice, not pausing for a moment before he began sprinting towards the main gate.
"To kill a member of my Sun family and still think of fleeing? Dream on!" Sun Changtian’s anger caused his beard and hair to bristle as he gnashed his teeth and said, "Catch him for me, I want him cut into a thousand pieces."
Such great families possessed an incredibly strong sense of collective honor; to them, Song Xiaodong’s breaking into the Sun family, killing Sun Sixteen and Sun Eighteen, as well as a young companion with a gun, and finally slaying Sun Zi’ang, was a disgrace of the highest order, so they chased after Song Xiaodong as if their lives depended on it.
Also, by now, the majority of the Sun family’s top fighters had already arrived on the scene. Aside from the top three experts, who hadn’t yet made an appearance, the rest had emerged from their spots.
The few who pursued most ferociously caused Song Xiaodong to shudder internally; these individuals were likely close to the Sun family’s top ten experts. Although they were slightly weaker than a top expert like Sun Five, the difference wasn’t much. If these fighters caught up to him, escaping would become impossible.
Moreover, the fact that three top-tier experts hadn’t yet appeared posed a great risk. At this point, Song Xiaodong could no longer afford a direct confrontation; his main priority was to secure a successful escape.
However, escaping from the Sun family was no easy task now. The main gate was already heavily guarded, and thinking of breaking through directly was simply impossible.
Upon looking at the wires atop the wall, Song Xiaodong discarded the thought of climbing over, realizing they were electrified. Attempting to scale the wall now would be suicide.
Song Xiaodong inwardly lamented at this time. Even though he expected large families to be formidable and understood that they concealed numerous skilled individuals, he had not anticipated the Sun family reaching such a fortressed level, effectively turning the place into a small city besieged in a manhunt.
Song Xiaodong was unaware that in northern families, competition was generally not very fierce. Based on the development and power of the family, ranks were almost pre-determined, and those with lesser strength naturally occupied a weaker position.
