The man originally thought that by mentioning Ye Xunhuan, he would make Dongfang Shu hesitant, and thus she would obediently follow him back.

Unexpectedly, his clever trick provided Dongfang Shu with a huge hint, which allowed the intelligent Dongfang Shu to see through his little ploy at a glance and ruthlessly expose it.

This made the man's expression flicker unpredictably.

"Dongfang Shu, it seems you've made up your mind and want me to take you by force?" The man's face gradually turned gloomy.

"You can try!" Dongfang Shu said coldly, "If you dare to lay a hand on me, even if it means my death, I'll make sure to take a piece of you with me!"

"Do you have the capability?"

As he spoke, the man suddenly raised his right hand and slapped towards the coffee table in front of him!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out as the marble top of the coffee table instantly cracked at a terrifying speed.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Shu's expression slightly changed.

The next moment, the man's right index finger lightly tapped on the table surface, shattering it completely!

"You're merely in the Innate Realm, and you're injured. Do you think you can compete with me?" The man said coldly, "I've given you the chance, but if you don't take it, don't blame me for being harsh with you!"

Soft words clearly had no effect on Dongfang Shu anymore.

He could only use force against Dongfang Shu!

A tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the entire villa, and an intangible murderous aura enveloped the air.

The atmosphere was so tense it was as if drawn swords were about to clash.

"You can try!"

Though Dongfang Shu was filled with dread inside, she showed no fear, remaining as proud as a queen, with no intention of backing down.

The man snorted coldly, his whole body springing from the sofa like a coil, his right hand transforming into a claw, swiftly grabbing towards Dongfang Shu!

He had given Dongfang Shu several chances, but she never took them, so he could only act relentingly.

Dongfang Shu seemed to have anticipated his move. As his right hand reached for her, she suddenly leaned back, and her long right leg swiftly kicked out!

Her taut toes were like sharp blades; if the man was hit, his wrist would surely be torn!

The man hurriedly withdrew his hand and quickly dodged to the side!

With the man's retreat, Dongfang Shu quickly rose from the sofa, and before the man could strike, her right leg kicked out again!

With a kick, the air in front of her dispersed, and a sharp gust of wind rushed straight at the man.

In the face of Dongfang Shu's attacking leg, the man sneered with disdain, opened his right hand, and slapped towards Dongfang Shu's leg without hesitation!

"Slap!"

A crisp sound rang out abruptly, and his palm struck Dongfang Shu's leg, causing her right leg to quiver as if electrocuted, rapidly retracting as she stepped back, her gaze towards the man filled with seriousness.

The man did not strike again, watching Dongfang Shu like a cat with a mouse, his face filled with mockery.

"Shu, don't make unnecessary struggles. You have no power to resist before me." The man said calmly, "Be sensible and come with me; otherwise, you'll only end up getting hurt!"

"Dream on!"

With that, Dongfang Shu leaped out, her five fingers tensed, forming a hand blade, swiftly thrusting towards the man's throat.

The man, seeing this, coldly snorted and disdainfully said, "Reckless!"

In the next moment, the man's right hand clenched tightly, swinging fiercely at Dongfang Shu's hand blade!

"Bang!"

A dull sound erupted, and a terrifying force suddenly surged from the man's iron fist, smashing into Dongfang Shu's hand blade.

The terrifying force was like a massive wave suddenly rising from a calm sea!

Subsequently, Dongfang Shu was like a baseball being struck, violently flung backward, her entire arm uncontrollably trembling, and her fingers seemed to have been smashed broken, drooping down.

"Clang!"

The dull sound rang out again, with Dongfang Shu crashing heavily onto the ground. Her already pale face turned even more ghastly, like a sheet of white paper!

Watching Dongfang Shu lying on the ground, the man did not strike again but instead looked down at her, asking, "My dear sister, do you still want to fight me?"

Dongfang Shu remained silent, glaring intensely at the man, her gaze venomous like a poisonous snake.

Gradually, Dongfang Shu got up from the ground and coldly said, "Even if it means death, I won't return with you!"

"Want to die?" The man chuckled lightly, disdainfully saying, "You can't die now; if you're going to die, it should be after we return, otherwise it'd be hard to explain!"

With that, the man leaped forward like a leopard, flashing before Dongfang Shu, reaching out with both hands like steel claws, viciously grabbing towards her shoulders!

Seeing the man's fierce steel claws, a hint of fear crept onto Dongfang Shu's ashen face, and almost instinctively, she dodged to the side.

But it was too late!

"Slap!"

The man's right hand descended onto Dongfang Shu's shoulder, exerting sudden force and squeezing sharply!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking erupted, and piercing pain made Dongfang Shu involuntarily gasp sharply.

The next moment, the man suddenly lifted his right hand, clutching Dongfang Shu's neck.

Being choked by the man, Dongfang Shu felt as if all her strength was being suppressed by an invisible force, unable to muster any.

The man, with his right hand gripping Dongfang Shu's neck, looked at her, half-smiling, "I told you, you weren't my match, yet you didn't listen. Now look, your arm is broken!"

He sighed lightly, appearing somewhat helpless.

"Now, can you come with me willingly?"

The man prepared to raise his left hand to knock Dongfang Shu unconscious.

After all, Dongfang Shu kept resisting and refused to go with him, and if she remained conscious, who knew what trouble she might cause!

To be safe, it was better to make her lose consciousness.

Just as the man was about to lift his hand to knock Dongfang Shu out, a slender figure suddenly appeared at the doorway: "Women are meant to be cherished, treating a lovely lady like this is a bit harsh, isn't it?"
