Chapter 292: From Now On, I Have No Connection With the Xiao Family

“Didn’t you come to save anyone?”

In Falling Phoenix Valley, the leader of the remnants of the Demon Sect stared in shock at Xiao Yang.

“They’re not my family; why should I save them?”

Xiao Yang said casually.

“Very good, very good. Playing hard to get, huh? Someone, kill that girl first!”

The black-robed man glared at Xiao Yang, giving a direct order.

A man in black stepped forward, drew his sword, and without a moment’s hesitation, swung it down towards Xiao Yue’s head.

“No…”

Xiao Yue felt her soul leave her body in fear.

But the next moment, blood sprayed onto Xiao Yue’s face.

That black-clad man was suddenly sliced in half, blood splattering all over Xiao Yue, Xiao Zhenshan, and Chen Ruolan.

Everyone present was dumbfounded by this scene.

How could that black-clothed man just be sliced in half like that?

“You’re quite clever, but unfortunately, you’re still a remnant of the Demon Sect!”

Xiao Yang said calmly, looking at the black-robed man.

“Y-you did this? How is this possible? Didn’t you self-destruct your dantian? How can you still unleash such powerful invisible sword qi?”

The black-robed man stared at Xiao Yang in terror.

“Do you want to know why I can still unleash sword qi?”

Xiao Yang looked at the black-robed man with a smile that was more like a sneer.

“Your cultivation is still intact; you haven’t lost your powers!”

The black-robed man looked at Xiao Yang in disbelief.

How could this be?

Is there really such a thing in the world?

For a martial artist, the dantian is where the vital energy gathers. If the dantian is destroyed, the vital energy dissipates, and the martial artist loses all cultivation.

But here was Xiao Yang, who had clearly self-destructed his dantian, yet his cultivation was not only intact but seemed even stronger than before.

What was happening with Xiao Yang had completely surpassed their understanding.

“What? This ungrateful brat still has his cultivation?”

Xiao Zhenshan and the others stared at Xiao Yang in shock.

They were all dumbfounded.

Impossible.

Is there really such a thing?

They had never heard of a martial artist who could still cultivate after self-destructing their dantian.

Let alone self-destructing—if a martial artist’s dantian is destroyed, they’d become a cripple.

“Alright, I was planning to play with you, but since you want to kill, I can only wipe you all out.”

Xiao Yang’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at these people.

“How dare you? I have the hostage; who do you think you can kill?”

The black-robed man sneered.

Even if Xiao Yang’s cultivation hadn’t vanished, with a hostage in hand, he wouldn’t be afraid of Xiao Yang not backing down, right?

At this moment, several men in black pressed blades against the necks of Xiao Zhenshan and the others.

“Unfilial son, no—Xiao Yang, you have to save us! I’m your grandfather’s real son; for your grandfather’s sake, save us!”

Xiao Zhenshan was genuinely terrified.

These guys from the Demon Sect were ruthless and unscrupulous.

“Yang’er, I, Chen Ruolan, have been good to you, right? You can’t just watch us die!”

“Big brother, have you forgotten how nice I was to you when we were kids?”

Chen Ruolan and Xiao Yue both looked pale with fright.

“You’ve fallen into misfortune; why not call your dear adopted son to save you?”

Xiao Yang mocked.

“Big brother, we know we were wrong! Qin Fei is that ungrateful wolf who turned his back on us; I, Xiao Yue, have no such brother!”

Xiao Yue said anxiously.

“It’s too late to know your faults now!”

Xiao Yang shook his head. He could never forget how they treated him.

They never cared about his feelings; all they saw was their precious adopted son, Qin Fei.

“It’s not too late! Not at all! You’ll be our son from now on.”

Xiao Zhenshan hurriedly said.

He didn’t want to die!

“Yes, yes, Yang’er, we’ll treat you well from now on; just give us a chance to make it up to you!”

Chen Ruolan also chimed in.

“Spare me your lies. You’ve disappointed me countless times; I won’t believe you anymore.”

Xiao Yang was absolutely done with them.

“Alright, if you’re going to kill us, then do it quickly. I’ll let you Demon Sect remnants accompany me to the grave; that’ll be worth it for the Xiao family people.”

Xiao Yang said impatiently.

“What? Do you really think I won’t kill them?”

The black-robed man snarled at Xiao Yang.

“Then hurry up and kill them!”

Xiao Yang crossed his arms, coldly stating.

“You…”

The black-robed man looked at Xiao Yang’s indifferent demeanor, suspicion running through his mind.

“No, no, no! Xiao Yang, Yang’er, you can’t just let us die!”

Xiao Zhenshan was nearly scared out of his wits.

Xiao Yue and Chen Ruolan trembled in fear; they never thought Xiao Yang would actually hope for their demise at the hands of these guys.

They regretted not treating Xiao Yang better before this.

If they had shown him a little kindness, they wouldn’t be facing such an end now.

They were truly regretful to the core.

But in this world, there were no do-overs.

“From childhood to now, it has either been beatings or scoldings from you. Clearly, I’m not your biological son, and now you have the face to ask me to save you?”

Xiao Yang fumed.

“…”

Xiao Zhenshan and the others were suddenly at a loss for words.

Because they really had treated Xiao Yang very poorly.

“This…”

The leading black-robed man was dumbfounded by this scene.

Who suggested capturing the Xiao family to threaten Xiao Yang? I swear I’ll slap them and write my name backward.

“In that case, let’s have them three suffer alongside us; kill them!”

The black-robed man glared at Xiao Yang like a ferocious wolf and gave the order.

But it was too late.

They were in a maple grove.

The blood-red maple leaves fell from the sky, like they were stained with blood.

In the next moment, those maple leaves truly became drenched in blood.

A black-clad man pinned Xiao Zhenshan to the ground with one hand, while the other swung a knife intending to slice him.

Just then, a maple leaf fell on his right arm gripping the knife.

With a scream, everyone thought Xiao Zhenshan was doomed.

But when they looked closer, Xiao Zhenshan was unharmed, while the black-clad man who wanted to kill him staggered back, clutching his severed arm.

“…”

The black-robed man was astonished.

The black-clad men looked on in horror at this scene.

Maple leaves continued to fall onto the black-clad men.

At the moment each leaf landed on them, it exploded with an incredibly sharp sword qi.

In the blink of an eye, all the black-clad men were cut down by the falling leaves’ sword qi, leaving behind only severed limbs.

A few maple leaves floated toward the black-robed man.

The black-robed man was alarmed and hurriedly tried to dodge.

However, those leaves followed him like shadows, soaring directly toward him.

“Hmph!”

The black-robed man roared, slicing down at the fluttering maple leaves.

The leaves shattered instantly, and the fierce sword qi burst forth.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed.

The black-robed man was sent stumbling back several paces.

His hand gripping the sword trembled.

Looking down at his blade, he found three deep nicks on the edge.

The black-robed man was horrified.

How could Xiao Yang be so powerful?

At this moment, Xiao Zhenshan and the others were left dumbfounded by the sight of the bodies scattered around.

Xiao Yang had effortlessly wiped out these black-clad men.

These people from the Demon Sect were no weaklings.

Any one of those black-clad men could easily pin Xiao Zhenshan to the ground and rub him into dust.

Especially the leading black-robed man, who was a top-tier master in the Divine Martial Realm.

But now, even that master didn’t seem to be Xiao Yang’s opponent.

“With such little ability, you think you can come to kill me? Who gave you the courage?”

Xiao Yang looked coldly at the black-robed man.

The black-robed man remained silent, suddenly turning to flee.

This intel was wrong; Xiao Yang was not useless.

Xiao Yang’s strength had exceeded all his expectations.

Thus, he could only run.

“Using the Spirit to Control the Sword; everything can be a sword!”

Xiao Yang executed the Futian Sword Technique.

In an instant, countless spiritual energies converged, transforming into endless sword qi that pierced toward the black-robed man from every direction.

“What…”

The black-robed man was alarmed, unable to fathom Xiao Yang’s swordsmanship having reached the point where everything could be a sword.

Spiritual energy was omnipresent, so Xiao Yang’s sword qi was everywhere.

“Hum!”

The black-robed man roared, a powerful blade aura erupting from his body.

The overbearing blade qi swept out in all directions.

The countless sword qi rushing towards him was instantly scattered.

Knife aura surged, sending dirt and stones flying.

The might of that slash was not to be underestimated.

The towering maple trees around him toppled like they were nothing.

Xiao Yang thought this guy would fight him to the end.

Who knew after this guy slashed, he would unify man and blade, turning into an arc of blade light shooting for the heavens, trying to escape.

“Still thinking of running?”

Xiao Yang stretched out his right hand, and a massive hand appeared in mid-air, grasping that arc of blade light.

“The Star-Detaching Hand?!”

A voice cried out from the sky in shock.

That fierce and overbearing blade light was snatched back by Xiao Yang.

With a firm tug, the blade light shattered, and the man-blade union of the black-robed man was obliterated, even failing to let out a single scream.

“Overestimating yourself!”

Xiao Yang said indifferently.

“……1()1?1。?。?1()?()”

Xiao Zhenshan, Chen Ruolan, and Xiao Yue all stood there, staring at Xiao Yang in a daze.

So strong.

Xiao Yang actually caught and killed a top-tier master in the Divine Martial Realm?

What kind of strength is this?

Could it be that Xiao Yang had already reached the Holy Realm?

Such a young Holy Realm master?

How could this be!

Xiao Zhenshan and the others were filled with regret.

Xiao Yang had not lost his cultivation.

What had they done to Xiao Yang?

Such a powerful son, even if he wasn’t their biological one, if they had treated him a bit better, he would still be their son now!

Having lost such a strong son, they were now filled with deep remorse, questioning their lives.

“Yang’er…()?()”

Chen Ruolan hesitated, unsure of what to say.

“Big brother…”

Xiao Yue trembled, unsure of what words to use.

Xiao Zhenshan stared blankly at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang stepped in front of them, “This is the last time; from now on, I have no connection with the Xiao family. Even if you die in front of me, I will not look at you twice.”

Xiao Yang’s calm voice shattered all their hopes.

This time, there was truly no turning back.

They had completely lost Xiao Yang.
