Chapter 61: Is This Trash One of Your Guiyuan Martial Sect Disciples?
Outside Yuanlong City, at the city gate.
Xiao Yang had actually just stomped Liu Rulong to death.
This was Liu Rulong, after all.
Liu Rulong was the young master of the Liu Family, a well-known figure in Yuanlong City who could strut around without a care.
Moreover, the Liu Family had just stormed back into Yuanlong City, emboldened by their support from the Guiyuan Martial Sect, making them even more reckless.
From the day they took over Yuanlong City, the Liu Family had conducted a major purge within the city, forcibly expelling everyone with the surname Xiao, regardless of any connections they had to the Xiao Family.
Countless Xiao Family members were forced to leave Yuanlong City with their families in tow.
Those Xiao Family members with ties to the Xiao Family had it even worse.
They were directly captured by the Liu Family and sent to the Northern Hill Mine to work.
To top it off, the Liu Family had hung a banner at the entrance of Yuanlong City that read: “Xiao Surnames and Dogs, Dogs May Enter the City, Xiao Surnames Get Lost!”
For days, Liu Rulong had been riding high with the Guiyuan Martial Sect at his back, acting even more lawlessly within Yuanlong City.
He bullied men and women alike, using underhanded tactics to acquire anything he had his eyes set on.
Countless people in the city endured his oppression but were too scared to speak out.
Everyone feared him, avoided him, and definitely didn’t dare to offend him.
However, no one could have predicted that this tyrant would end up dead, crushed underfoot.
At that moment, all the spectators gathered near the city gate were dumbfounded, nearly unable to breathe in their anxiety.
Everyone thought this was simply unreal.
While it was a heartening situation, no one dared to voice their thoughts, let alone cheer.
Liu Rulong may be dead, but the Liu Family still existed.
Their big backer from the Guiyuan Martial Sect was still around.
Xiao Yang was in deep trouble.
How could the Liu Family let this slide?
And Xiao Yang had beaten Gui Jianren, an Inner Disciple from Guiyuan Martial Sect, to a pulp.
Would Guiyuan Martial Sect just ignore this?
Xiao Yang killing Liu Rulong meant little to Jiang Ting, Lei Renjie, and the others—it was just a death.
But Gui Jianren was a different story.
Xiao Yang had actually attacked Gui Jianren.
Now, Jiang Ting, Lei Renjie, and the rest felt uneasy.
Especially with the Grand Competition approaching, offending Guiyuan Martial Sect at such a critical time was not a wise move.
Xiao Yang didn’t care; he simply lifted his leg and walked right into the city.
“Crash!”
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the sky.
Everyone looked up to see a massive firework exploding, forming the character “Martial.”
“This…”
Everyone was astonished.
“Hum hum hum, dare to hit my young master? Today, you all die!”
Gui Jianren, grinning wickedly, climbed to his feet, his eyes locked on Xiao Yang with murderous intent.
“Holy Son, this guy can’t take you on and calls for help, how pathetic,” Lin Wangchuan remarked dismissively.
Everyone gasped.
Gui Jianren was signaling for reinforcements.
There were definitely more powerful disciples from Guiyuan Martial Sect in the city!
The expressions of Lei Renjie and the others grew tense.
“Looking for a beating?”
Xiao Yang reached out his right hand toward Gui Jianren, and immediately, Gui Jianren was yanked toward him uncontrollably.
Xiao Yang grabbed Gui Jianren by the neck and lifted him off the ground.
“Want us dead? You think you trash can do that?”
Xiao Yang tightened his grip around Gui Jianren’s neck.
Gui Jianren couldn’t breathe, and his already swollen pig-like face turned purple.
He desperately tried to pry Xiao Yang’s hand away, but it felt like it was glued to his neck.
“Spare… spare me…”
The guy who had just been so arrogant was now begging for mercy, and to everyone’s horror, something dripped down his pants, releasing a foul odor of urine.
He had actually peed himself out of fear.
“…”
Xiao Yang was speechless; this was the quality of an Inner Disciple from Guiyuan Martial Sect?
Everyone was taken aback by this pathetic display from Gui Jianren.
“Senior Brother, don’t…”
But Jiang Ting and the others were startled by this scene.
If Xiao Yang really killed Gui Jianren, things would get messy.
Qin Fei watched intently, a smile creeping onto his lips, fists clenched in excitement.
His heart was shouting to kill him, to take that step, sealing Xiao Yang’s fate with Guiyuan Martial Sect.
“Senior Brother, don’t act impulsively…”
Song Qiang quickly intervened.
If Xiao Yang killed Gui Jianren, it wouldn’t just be an offense against Guiyuan Martial Sect.
Guiyuan Martial Sect was the second strongest in the Northern Region, far surpassing the Qingyang Sword Sect. Any conflict between the two would undoubtedly hurt the Qingyang Sword Sect.
One wrong move in this situation could spark a fracas between the Qingyang Sword Sect and Guiyuan Martial Sect.
The consequences would be dire.
“Brother, are you really out of your mind?”
Jiang Ting stomped her feet in frustration.
“Brat, let go now!”
Xiao Zhenshan finally snapped out of his shock, yelling angrily at Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang had already shocked him by killing Liu Rulong with a single stomp.
Because that stomp marked a point of no return between the Xiao and Liu families.
Now Xiao Yang was about to kill Gui Jianren from Guiyuan Martial Sect?
If he really went through with it, the Xiao Family in Yuanlong City would be doomed.
The Xiao Family was nothing in front of the powerful figures from Guiyuan Martial Sect.
Those powerful figures could wipe the Xiao Family out with ease!
“Bro, do you want to get us killed?”
Xiao Yue panicked too.
“Yang, if you keep this up, the Xiao Family is done for!”
Even their usually calm mother, Chen Ruolan, was shaken by Xiao Yang’s actions.
Xiao Yang glanced coldly at them.
“…”
They trembled at the icy look in his eyes, which held no trace of emotion.
“Uhh…”
They momentarily lost their wits.
“Hum!”
Xiao Yang turned his gaze back to Gui Jianren, who was on the verge of passing out.
“You’re not even worthy to die by my hand.”
He said, preparing to toss Gui Jianren aside.
“Who dares to harm my Guiyuan Martial Sect disciple!”
At that moment, a booming voice echoed from inside the city, causing everyone’s ears to ring.
“Huh?”
Xiao Yang looked up as he held Gui Jianren, glancing toward the city gate.
A figure appeared in his sights.
A powerful aura surged from the city gate, enveloping the area in a suffocating pressure that left everyone breathless.
That figure stepped out from the city gate, looking majestic, a middle-aged man with a black beard.
His casual strides seemed to carry the weight of the world, each step felt like a hammer on everyone’s chest.
Xiao Yang chuckled.
Looks like this guy was trying to intimidate him.
With each step, it felt like the very earth was bowing under his might.
Was this the Divine Martial Realm?
But it didn’t seem quite right; too weak, hmm, this was a half-step into the Divine Martial Realm.
Xiao Yang smirked, a hint of amusement on his lips.
He soon stood in front of Xiao Yang, fixing him with a piercing gaze that radiated authority.
Yet Xiao Yang remained unfazed.
Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan, however, turned pale and instinctively backed away.
The crowd around them was in shock.
At that moment, the middle-aged man felt an inner stir; the young man before him could actually withstand his aura.
This kid wasn’t simple at all!
“This trash is one of your Guiyuan Martial Sect disciples? Take him back!”
Xiao Yang casually tossed Gui Jianren to the ground at the man’s feet.
Gui Jianren had long lost consciousness, his eyes rolled back.
“How dare you!”
The middle-aged man erupted in fury, his thunderous roar resembling a clap of thunder overhead.
A wild aura burst forth from him, stirring up dust and blotting out the sun.
He was ready to retaliate against this brash punk who didn’t know his limits.
“Didn’t expect your Guiyuan Martial Sect to be so full of bullies.”
Facing the enraged middle-aged man, Xiao Yang remained remarkably calm.
At this point, Xiao Zhenshan and the others were already trembling in fear beneath the man’s immense pressure.
This reckless brat had just offended such a powerful figure; it looked like the Xiao Family might really be facing extinction because of him.
