Zhan Xincheng was completely deaf to Ouyang Song's words; his daughter had been ruined by Ouyang Qingming, and he refused to believe that Ouyang Song was oblivious to his son's deeds.
Zhan Liluo's life was now effectively over—a result of the villainy of father and son.
He had already had Liluo sent home; the agony that Mistress Zhang and Liluo's mother must have felt upon seeing her plight.
Zhan Xincheng sought revenge for his daughter, but he was also incensed by Ouyang Song's deception.
His eyes bloodshot, he drew a soldier's saber and hacked at Ouyang Song, who was protecting his son and took an inadvertent cut.
He glared venomously at Zhan Xincheng and kicked the latter's injured leg, causing Zhan Xincheng to lose his balance and fall to one knee.
Ouyang Song then stepped viciously on Zhan Xincheng's leg crease, breaking the bone; Zhan Xincheng let out a wail and stabbed towards Ouyang Song's ankle.
In an instant, Ouyang Song's left Achilles tendon snapped.
