Yuanlong City, in front of the city gate.
Xiao Yang smashed two fists right into Gui Teng’s face.
Gui Teng stumbled back from the hit.
The crowd was left dumbfounded.
Silence enveloped the area.
The people of Yuanlong City were shocked, their eyes almost popping out.
Xiao Yang actually dared to hit Gui Teng?
Gui Teng was an elder from Guiyuan Martial Sect! Ever since he and his nephew Gui Jianren came to Yuanlong City, they had been bullying the townsfolk along with the Liu brothers, Liu Rulong and Liu Ruhui.
Moreover, Gui Teng and Gui Jianren ridiculously claimed that they had helped the Liu family chase the Xiao family out of Yuanlong City. They acted recklessly, bringing about cries of distress from the people, who had suffered under their tyranny for far too long.
Especially when the Liu family returned to Yuanlong City, they initiated a massive purge against anyone with the surname Xiao.
Countless Xiao family members were expelled from Yuanlong City, many homes were taken over, and possessions were stolen.
The displaced Xiao family people were left homeless, and many faced tragic fates of loss and despair.
It was immensely satisfying to see Liu Rulong trampled by Xiao Yang.
However, no one dared to speak up, nor could they show a hint of joy.
Because the Liu family was still around and Guiyuan Martial Sect’s accomplices were still present.
Especially Gui Teng, this senior elder of Guiyuan Martial Sect, with his half-step Divine Martial Realm power, was virtually untouchable in Yuanlong City.
He regarded ordinary folks as ants, capable of slaughtering at will.
No one dared to resist, because those who did were dead.
Now, while everyone saw Gui Teng being hit, although they felt relief and wished he’d been knocked out, all they could do was cheer silently in their hearts.
At that moment, Gui Teng stabilized himself and stood tall.
He looked up furiously.
“This…”
The crowd gasped in surprise.
Somepeople screamed in shock.
Others turned their heads away, unable to look.
Gui Teng’s face was a bloody mess; his nose was crooked, his teeth nearly all knocked out, his nose and mouth swollen, and blood seeped out continuously.
Xiao Yang was shocked at his handiwork.
“Oh no, oh no, this is really bad…”
Xiao Zhenshan shuddered in despair.
His mother, Chen Ruolan, and sister were left pale, rendered speechless by the scene.
“Senior Brother…”
Jiang Ting was dumbstruck too.
Xiao Yang actually hit Gui Teng.
Forget about Gui Teng’s character; his status alone made him someone they shouldn’t provoke!
Xiao Yang could do whatever in the Qingyang Sword Sect, as that was just internal matters; everything could be negotiated.
But now, it was different. Who did Xiao Yang just hit?
An elder of Guiyuan Martial Sect!
Would Guiyuan Martial Sect let this slide?
Things were about to get really troublesome.
Qin Fei, standing next to Jiang Ting, secretly reveled in the situation.
He never expected Xiao Yang to be so reckless, directly hitting Gui Teng.
This wasn’t Qingyang Mountain; Xiao Yang’s audacity was nothing short of self-sabotage!
Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie was stumped.
“You…”
Gui Teng was furious, a wild power surging from within him, and a massive tortoise spirit appeared behind him.
Dust flew, and chaos erupted.
Everyone gasped.
Yet, Xiao Yang remained calm, looking straight at the enraged Gui Teng.
“You’re dead!”
Gui Teng roared, leaping into the air and swinging a fist at Xiao Yang.
As he launched his fist, the tortoise spirit hurtled towards Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang felt the very air tremble with the immense force of that punch.
The crowd thought Xiao Yang would be obliterated by Gui Teng’s furious strike.
Many looked down in despair.
The Xiao family members shut their eyes, grasping hopelessly.
“Senior Brother…”
“Holy Son Brother…”
Song Qiang, Lin Wangchuan, Ye Qingyao, Yun Qianxue, Qi Xuan all gasped in shock.
“Hmph!”
Xiao Yang smirked, preparing to counter Gui Teng.
However, just as he was about to act, a figure suddenly blocked him.
“Bang!”
A dull thud echoed.
Xiao Yang felt the air around him tremble violently.
A blinding flash of lightning appeared before him.
At this critical moment, Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie had intercepted Gui Teng’s punch.
“I…”
Xiao Yang was fuming.
Was Lei Lie trying to save him or Gui Teng?
It had been the same earlier.
Just as he was about to send Gui Teng off to the afterlife, Lei Lie popped up.
And now again.
Lei Lie didn’t even realize he unintentionally saved Gui Teng twice.
In Lei Lie’s eyes, Xiao Yang was clearly no match for the half-step Divine Martial Realm Gui Teng; he was saving Xiao Yang.
Little did he dream that Xiao Yang didn’t need saving; he was actually saving Gui Teng.
If he found out he saved Gui Teng twice, it would probably drive him nuts.
At this moment, Lei Lie was surrounded by crackling electricity, the power of his Thunder True Art booming forth, his Thunder Shaking Fist sent Gui Teng reeling back.
“Lei Lie, you…”
Gui Teng glared at Lei Lie in rage.
“What, do you want to start a war with us Qingyang Sword Sect?”
Lei Lie coldly replied.
“Damn it!”
Gui Teng roared.
He had been publicly humiliated by Xiao Yang’s two punches, losing all face.
In front of everyone, how could he back down?
“Today, I swear to kill this brat! Whoever stands in my way, I’ll kill them too!” Gui Teng screamed in fury.
“Is that so? Then feel free to try.”
Lei Lie was engulfed in electricity, almost like the god of thunder descending. A terrifying aura of destruction radiated from him.
Everyone watched this tense standoff.
“Xiao Yang, if you dare kill my brother, I’ll take your life!”
At that moment, a booming voice rang out from the city.
Xiao Yang turned to see a group of people charging out from within.
At the front were none other than Liu Family Head Liu Xiaotian and his second son Liu Ruhui.
Xiao Yang smiled slightly, and in the next moment, he vanished like a phantom, bypassing the blocking Lei Lie, and pointed directly at Gui Teng.
“Seeking death!”
Gui Teng sneered coldly, ferociously powering his fist at Xiao Yang.
The strength of his tortoise punch transformed into a colossal tortoise spirit that charged at Xiao Yang.
The force was monumental, unstoppable.
He aimed to obliterate this so-called Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect with one punch.
“You’re insane…”
Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie was taken aback by the scene.
Xiao Yang was being incredibly reckless, actually daring to take on a half-step Divine Realm opponent like Gui Teng.
Xiao Yang was only in the Heavenly Martial Realm; how could he possibly match Gui Teng?
In shock, Lei Lie rushed to intervene and save Xiao Yang.
However, the next moment, he was frozen in place.
Xiao Yang was just too fast.
With his finger resembling a sword, he effortlessly broke through Gui Teng’s tortoise punch, instantly appearing right before Gui Teng, then his sword finger pierced straight into Gui Teng’s forehead.
The next moment, Gui Teng’s head was punctured by Xiao Yang’s sword qi.
Gui Teng didn’t believe that Xiao Yang had the audacity to kill him, not even until his last breath.
The Xiao family father and son, who had just rushed out from the city, were left dumbfounded upon seeing this.
Jiang Ting, Lei Renjie, all were shocked into silence.
Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie stared at Gui Teng’s lifeless body, his scalp tingling.
This was really escalating out of control.
Xiao Yang had actually killed Gui Teng, an elder of Guiyuan Martial Sect.
Things had seriously reached the breaking point!
The Xiao family members were nearly paralyzed with fear.
Qin Fei was overjoyed internally.
Before even stepping into the city, Xiao Yang had already made a sworn enemy of Guiyuan Martial Sect.
Xiao Yang, oh Xiao Yang, there’s no one who can save you now.
“Liu Ruhui, didn’t you just say you wanted my life?”
Xiao Yang looked coldly at the pale-faced Liu Ruhui.
At that moment, Liu Xiaotian and Liu Ruhui’s previous anger had utterly vanished, replaced by overwhelming fear.
“Spare me…”
Liu Ruhui collapsed to his knees before Xiao Yang, completely submissive.
“Dear nephew, I’ve watched you grow up. Spare me! My son offended you; he deserves to die, he deserves it!”
Liu Xiaotian trembled, prostrating himself on the ground.
The Liu father and son, who had come in a forceful show of strength, instantly turned into scared little dogs.
Xiao Yang had the guts to kill Gui Teng, let alone them? They no longer dared to seek revenge; all they wished for now was to survive.
“Xiao Yang, how dare you kill my sect’s elder?”
Just then, a voice rang out, and a handsome young man in white, wielding a folding fan, walked out from the city gate.
Xiao Yang’s pupils constricted sharply at the sight of this person; this was one of his most formidable opponents from his previous life, the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Guiyuan!
