Chapter 88: I Don’t Want This Family Anymore!

In the backyard of the Xiao family ancestral home, a serene little courtyard was now filled with murderous intent.

Xiao Yang directly beat Qin Fei to a pulp, then tossed him aside like a dead dog.

“Boom!”

Qin Fei crashed hard into the artificial hill in the courtyard.

The hill shattered instantly, and Qin Fei rolled onto the ground.

“Kill!”

Xiao Yang’s killing intent was ignited, his eyes turned bloodshot, and rage overwhelmed him.

He lunged at Qin Fei like a mad beast.

This guy actually dared to dig up his grandfather’s grave, and now he was inciting his parents to destroy his grandfather’s former residence.

Today, he wanted to kill Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang was furious.

Everyone was shocked by the scene.

“小师弟…” Jiang Ting’s heart-wrenching voice came through.

“大师兄…” Song Qiang shouted loudly.

If Xiao Yang really killed Qin Fei, he wouldn’t be able to live either!

Killing a fellow disciple was a death sentence.

Even if Xiao Yang was the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, he would still be executed according to sect rules.

Xiao Zhenshan and the others were terrified at this scene.

If Xiao Yang killed Qin Fei, their Xiao family would be doomed too.

“Die!”

Xiao Yang threw a punch at Qin Fei, who was just wobbling up from the ground.

“Don’t…”

Jiang Ting screamed.

“Presumptuous!”

At that moment, a booming voice rang out like thunder above everyone, rattling their ears and shaking their souls.

“Bang!”

A figure descended from the sky and blocked Xiao Yang’s incoming fist.

“Boom!”

A powerful, destructive aura exploded from the newcomer.

The little courtyard was immediately filled with flying sand and stones, darkening the skies.

Both fighters recoiled, taking a step back.

Qin Fei staggered back, pushed by the massive wave of energy.

Everyone nearby was blinded by the gale that erupted.

Xiao Yang looked up to see that the newcomer was Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie.

“Xiao Yang, are you crazy?”

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie glared at Xiao Yang, his right hand trembling behind his back.

Lei Lie was horrified; Xiao Yang actually had such strong combat ability.

“Divine Martial Realm?”

Xiao Yang snapped back to reality.

The Law Enforcement Elder had actually broken through to the Divine Martial Realm.

“Get out of the way!”

Xiao Yang coldly fixed his gaze on the Law Enforcement Elder.

“Xiao Yang, you are a disciple of the Qingyang Sword Sect and the Sect Holy Son. Are you really going to openly violate the sect rules?”

The Law Enforcement Elder roared, his voice like a clap of thunder, sending everyone’s blood boiling.

“What of it? Today, I want to kill him, and no one can stop me!”

Xiao Yang shouted, a wave of scorching sword Qi radiating from him.

Everyone felt like they were in a furnace; the heat was unbearable.

The crowd’s expressions changed dramatically.

“Xiao Yang, do you dare?”

The Law Enforcement Elder was furious, with lightning crackling around him, like silver serpents slithering over his body.

An overwhelming, heart-stopping aura of destruction radiated from the Law Enforcement Elder.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”

Facing Lei Lie’s intimidation, Xiao Yang stood his ground, ready to clash.

“You…”

The Law Enforcement Elder was about to admonish Xiao Yang.

“Forget you…”

Xiao Yang’s left hand shot out, grabbing the Law Enforcement Elder by the collar.

“What…”

The Law Enforcement Elder was genuinely shocked.

He wanted to counter, but in the next moment, he found his entire sword essence sealed by Xiao Yang, and was instantly flung away.

What could the Law Enforcement Elder do?

Xiao Yang sneered inwardly; before his Futian Sword intent, even Lei Lie had no chance to draw his sword.

“Boom!”

The Law Enforcement Elder crashed through the roof of a house outside the courtyard, landing inside.

“…”

The crowd’s jaws nearly dropped in disbelief.

That was the Law Enforcement Elder, tossed like a rag doll by their Senior Brother?

“Master…”

Lei Renjie was taken aback, then rushed outside.

No one could stop him now!

Xiao Yang was truly going to kill Qin Fei.

“Unfilial son, if you want to kill Xiao Fei, then you’ll have to kill me first!”

Xiao Zhenshan charged in, shielding Qin Fei and shouting at Xiao Yang.

“Yang’er, have you really lost your mind?”

Chen Ruolan also rushed in, blocking Xiao Yang’s path.

“Brother, enough is enough!”

Xiao Yue stood protectively in front of Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother, if you want to kill the Junior Brother, you’ll have to step over my dead body first!”

Jiang Ting shouted as she charged forward.

She had just been flung out by Xiao Yang and crashed through a pavilion outside the courtyard.

Now, Jiang Ting was covered in dirt, looking a complete mess.

“Why you…”

Xiao Yang was filled with rage.

This scene felt all too familiar.

A replay from his past life.

In the last life, his Junior Sister Jiang Ting had done the same, throwing herself in front of his sword to protect Qin Fei, allowing him to be stabbed by Qin Fei.

In the last life, his parents and sister had also desperately defended Qin Fei, accusing him.

Threatening him with their lives!

Forcing him, their biological son.

Do you have any idea that in the last life, you all died at the hands of the precious adopted son you were trying to protect?

“Foster father, foster mother, Sister Xiao Yue, Junior Sister, please don’t let this affect your relationship with Senior Brother because of me!”

Qin Fei said feigning concern.

“小飞哥, stop talking, just run!”

Xiao Yue said, grabbing Qin Fei to escape.

Xiao Zhenshan and the others stood firm before Xiao Yang.

The surrounding disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect were stunned by this scene.

Qin Fei had only taken a few steps when something fell from him and hit the ground.

Xiao Yang turned red with rage.

Qin Fei reached down to pick up the fallen bag, but Xiao Yang snatched it out of the air before it could touch the ground.

Qin Fei’s eyes flickered with a smug light.

He had done it on purpose.

“My Qiankun bag, how did it end up on Qin Fei?”

Xiao Yang glanced at Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.

He remembered he had given the Qiankun bag to Lin Wangchuan and the others to bring back to Yuanlong City. How did it end up with Qin Fei?

“Um…” Song Qiang had a helpless look.

“Holy Son, your parents asked us for your Qiankun bag. We initially didn’t want to give it, but they said you were their biological son, and your things are theirs, so…”

Lin Wangchuan scratched his head awkwardly.

“So that’s how it is… sigh…”

Xiao Yang sighed heavily, feeling a deep sense of loss.

“Unfilial son, you are our child. Isn’t your stuff ours by right?”

Xiao Zhenshan declared as if it were obvious.

“So you two just take my things to support your precious adopted son?”

Xiao Yang’s voice was icy cold.

“Brother, you hurt Xiao Fei; shouldn’t you make it up to him?”

Xiao Yue said coldly.

“Shut up!”

“Slap!”

Xiao Yang waved his left hand and landed a resounding slap on Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was stunned.

Her beloved older brother actually hit her.

“Brother, you…”

Xiao Yue’s eyes turned red, unable to believe what just happened, tears welling up in her eyes.

“I’ve said it, I owe no one anything. Who should I make up for?”

Xiao Yang coldly glared at Xiao Yue.

“Yang’er, how could you hit your sister?”

Chen Ruolan was also enraged.

“He should be hit! With a sister like this, I’d rather not have one! And you two, draining your biological son’s resources to support your adopted son, how can you call yourselves parents?”

Xiao Yang was genuinely tired.

“Brother, you’re going too far…”

Xiao Yue was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face.

“Unfilial son, how could you speak like that? We only took a bit of your training resources for Xiao Fei. What? You’ve grown wings and think you can turn the tables?”

Xiao Zhenshan was furious.

“A bit of training resources? Since I joined the Qingyang Sword Sect, how many training resources have you drained from me? You’re asking me to continue supporting this adopted son of yours? No way!”

Xiao Yang was nearly driven mad by anger.

“You are our son; this is what you should do.”

Xiao Zhenshan argued unreasonably.

“From now on, you won’t get a single resource from me. If you want something, go ask your precious adopted son for it!”

Xiao Yang glared coldly at Qin Fei, who was hiding behind them.

“Do you dare!”

Xiao Zhenshan was both shocked and furious.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? You’ve never liked me; you just gave birth to me. Have you ever cared for me even for a day? It was my grandfather who raised me, protected me, and taught me.”

“When I was bullied, where were you?”

“When this guy forced me to eat dog food, where were you?”

Xiao Yang pointed at his cousin Xiao Zhenlong, who had just arrived.

“Um… Cousin… I was young and didn’t know any better… Please don’t hold it against me!”

Xiao Zhenlong nearly fainted, trembling at the thought of confronting the current Xiao Yang, who was now far from the sickly child he once was.

Back when he was weak and frail, he was no match for the strong Xiao Zhenlong and Xiao Zhenhu.

Once, these two brothers even held him down and made him eat dog food.

“No matter what, we are your parents.”

Xiao Zhenshan said dismissively.

Xiao Yang was utterly disappointed, heartbroken.

They had no idea what they were doing wrong.

They hadn’t a shred of remorse.

Or perhaps they knew but chose to ignore it, turning a blind eye.

Because they simply didn’t care about him.

In their eyes, being biological parents meant a debt beyond measure, so they believed it was their right for him to provide resources for them.

Thus, no matter what they did, Xiao Yang was expected to keep providing for them, including supporting the ungrateful Qin Fei.

In his past life, he had compromised.

But now that he was reborn, he wouldn’t do it anymore.

“Do you all really want to protect Qin Fei today?”

Xiao Yang asked.

“Indeed!”

Xiao Zhenshan replied resolutely.

Mother Chen Ruolan was the same.

Sister Xiao Yue also chose Qin Fei.

Junior Sister Jiang Ting stood firmly behind Qin Fei, glaring at Xiao Yang like he was a foe.

Hiding behind them, Qin Fei looked at Xiao Yang smugly, filled with provocation.

“Very well, since that’s the case, let’s trade life for life. From now on, I owe the Xiao family nothing!”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he took a deep glance at Qin Fei, who was shielded by his parents, sister, and Junior Sister before turning to leave.

They were all desperately protecting Qin Fei.

He understood he wouldn’t be able to kill Qin Fei today.

“Foster father, please don’t let Senior Brother go! If you two fall out because of me, and Senior Brother stops being your son and leaves the Xiao family, then I’d be the real sinner!”

Qin Fei feigned distress.

“If he wants to sever his ties with me, that’s not happening. Xiao Yang, listen carefully. The blood that runs through your veins belongs to the Xiao family. You were born a Xiao and will die a Xiao!”

Hearing his father Xiao Zhenshan’s furious roar from behind, Xiao Yang felt no ripple of emotion inside.

Such a family, I don’t want anymore.

After the Grand Competition in eight days, I’ll announce my separation from the Xiao family!

Eight days left.

In the Grand Competition, I will surely win the championship.

I will leave the Qingyang Sword Sect; I will leave the Xiao family.

I want nothing to do with the sect or the family.

This time, I will be myself!

Without looking back, Xiao Yang strode out of the Xiao family ancestral home.

“The audacity, such disrespect to your elders…”

The roar of the Law Enforcement Elder echoed inside the Xiao family ancestral home.
