Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: His obsession.

The sun hung high in the sky, casting long shadows across the sprawling estate as Xiang Yu gripped the steering wheel like a lifeline. His knuckles whitened under the strain, a stark contrast to the unsettling grin that danced across his lips.

It was a grin that spoke of defiance, of a man ready to unleash chaos for the sake of his beloved. In the back of his mind, a primal instinct surged. He couldn’t let anyone hurt Han Xin. The weight of his affection bore down on him, a secret that no one else could possibly fathom.

As he approached the towering gates, the guards waved him down, their faces masks of confusion and alarm. But Xiang Yu was deaf to their commands, the revving of the engine drowning out their shouts for him to stop. With a surge of adrenaline, he slammed down on the accelerator, the haulage truck lunging forward like a beast unleashed. Metal crumpled under its might as the gate splintered apart, sending wood and iron flying like shrapnel.

The guards stood frozen for a heartbeat, eyes wide, disbelief etched onto their faces. But that moment of shock was fleeting. Their instincts kicked in as they scrambled for their weapons, fingers trembling around cold steel. Bullets erupted into the air, but they ricocheted harmlessly off the truck’s armoured exterior. To Xiang Yu, the world outside faded into a blur, a cacophony of shouts and gunfire overshadowed by the exhilarating roar of the engine.

He barreled through the estate, a relentless force of destruction. Cars that had once gleamed under the sun now lay in his path, their metal frames an invitation for chaos. With each impact, he revelled in the sound of crunching steel and shattering glass, a symphony of anarchy that resonated with the fury in his veins. A sharp turn here, a calculated ram there, he manoeuvred with the precision of a predator, the thrill of the hunt coursing through him.

But he wasn’t finished. With a sinister smile curling at the corners of his mouth, he shifted gears, the truck screeching back in a dramatic reversal. The head of security, a man clad in a tailored suit now covered in dirt and a fresh cut on his arm, felt the air grow thick with dread as their eyes locked. Xiang Yu’s gaze was like a raging storm swirling filled of malice. It sent shivers racing down the man’s spine. It was as if he were staring into the abyss, the dark depths promising torment and despair.

"Get out of the way!" The head of security’s voice trembled, panic clawing at his throat as his instincts screamed at him to flee. But the others stood frozen, confusion etching lines into their brows until the tyres screamed against the asphalt, a horrific sound that shattered the momentary stillness.

In a desperate scramble, the guards dove aside just as the truck surged forward again, ploughing straight into the mansion’s grand entrance. Wood splintered, windows exploded outward in a rain of glass, and the elegant interior erupted into chaos. Screams filled the air, mingling with the roar of the engine as people scattered like leaves in a storm.
