LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 60:
Chapter 60:
“Xiao clan members are worse than pigs and dogs?”
Xiao Yang was furious.
The arrogant laughter echoing from the city gate was unbearably grating, especially since it was directed at his surname.
At that moment, Xiao Zhenshan, the head of the Xiao family, erupted with rage. He leapt into the air and tore down the banner hanging above the city gate, shredding it to pieces.
“Who dares to stir up trouble in Yuanlong City with such audacity?”
A furious shout rang out from within the city gates.
The next moment, a group of people stormed out.
By then, everyone had disembarked from the carriages.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Xiao Zhenshan, that cowardly old fool. The one who fled with his tail between his legs still dares to show his face here?”
One of the newcomers sneered with disdain the moment he saw Xiao Zhenshan.
“So this is the infamous Xiao family head who fled at the first sign of trouble?”
Another young man in white looked at Xiao Zhenshan curiously.
“They say the tiger’s father begets a dog for a son, but today I’ve witnessed the opposite—a dog for a father and a tiger for a son!”
The young man in white smirked mockingly.
“What did you say?” Xiao Zhenshan’s fury boiled over.
“Liu Rulong, my brother is back! If you’re so bold, go flaunt your arrogance in front of him!”
Xiao Yue shouted angrily.
“What?”
The young man named Liu Rulong was startled.
“Xiao Yang has returned?”
The surrounding crowd’s expressions also shifted dramatically.
“What’s there to fear?”
The young man in white, Guijianren, remained indifferent.
At this moment, Xiao Yang approached expressionlessly, followed by Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.
Lei Renjie and Li Yunhu stood by, watching the scene unfold.
The Enforcement Elder, Lei Lie, remained inside the carriage, not stepping out.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ting and Qin Fei had disembarked, eager to witness the spectacle.
Qin Fei, in particular, was thrilled. He had carefully orchestrated this confrontation, digging a massive pit for Xiao Yang to fall into.
The long-standing feud between the Xiao and Liu families was something even Lei Renjie and the others were aware of.
The entire Azure Sun Sword Sect knew that the Xiao family had been driven out of Yuanlong City and forced to take refuge on Azure Sun Mountain.
“Xiao Yang?”
The moment Liu Rulong saw Xiao Yang, his bravado vanished.
He recognized Xiao Yang immediately, even if he were reduced to ashes.
As a child, Liu Rulong had bullied Xiao Yang relentlessly.
When Xiao Yang rose to prominence, Liu Rulong had lived in constant fear of retribution.
Now, Xiao Yang was back.
Liu Rulong was terrified.
“In your eyes, the Xiao surname is even more worthless than a dog, is it?”
Xiao Yang’s voice was cold as he stared at Liu Rulong.
“I… I…”
Beads of sweat formed on Liu Rulong’s forehead.
This man was the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect, a genius in the way of the sword.
The news of Xiao Yang defeating Li Xingyao, the Saintess of the Soaring Sword Sect, had already spread across the Northern Territory.
Liu Rulong’s legs trembled.
“So, you’re Xiao Yang?”
Guijianren, the young man in white, looked Xiao Yang up and down with disdain.
“And who are you?”
Xiao Yang glanced at the white-clad young man, instantly discerning his cultivation level—Great Perfection of the Mystical Ability Realm.
Not bad.
As for Liu Rulong, he was still at the early stage of the Transformation Dragon Realm, a testament to his mediocrity.
Despite his arrogance as a child, Liu Rulong had grown into a bully who preyed on the weak.
But now, standing before Xiao Yang, he couldn’t muster any courage.
Hearing Guijianren’s voice, however, seemed to embolden Liu Rulong.
He suddenly remembered that his family now had the backing of the Guiyuan Martial Sect, a formidable ally.
So what if Xiao Yang was powerful? Could he surpass the Holy Son of the Guiyuan Martial Sect?
The Guiyuan Martial Sect was the second most influential force in the Northern Territory, second only to the Soaring Sword Sect.
Their Holy Son was currently a guest of the Liu family in Yuanlong City.
Why should he fear Xiao Yang?
“Xiao Yang, do you know who he is?”
Liu Rulong said smugly.
Slap!
Before he could finish, Xiao Yang slapped him hard across the face.
“I don’t care who he is.”
Xiao Yang’s voice was cold.
Liu Rulong’s head snapped to the side, and a bloody tooth fell from his mouth.
“You dare hit me?”
Slap!
Xiao Yang backhanded him again.
“You—”
Liu Rulong was furious.
Slap!
“I told you not to get cocky!”
Slap!
Xiao Yang’s next slap sent him reeling, his cheeks swelling high as he spat out more bloody teeth.
“Xiao Yang, you’ve gone too far!”
Guijianren roared. Xiao Yang’s actions were a direct insult to him.
Xiao Yang stopped, turning to face Guijianren.
“Others may fear your Guiyuan Martial Sect, but I, Xiao Yang, don’t. Leave now if you know what’s good for you.”
Saying this, Xiao Yang kicked Liu Rulong to the ground and stomped on his head.
“Help! Brother Gui, save me!”
Liu Rulong screamed in terror.
“Brother Turtle? Is that ‘turtle’ as in the animal?”
Xiao Yang smirked, taunting Guijianren.
“You’re courting death!”
Guijianren, enraged and humiliated, swung a punch at Xiao Yang.
Slap!
Xiao Yang countered effortlessly, delivering a resounding slap that left Guijianren dazed, spinning in place as if lost.
“Who gave you the courage to strike at me?”
Xiao Yang’s voice was ice-cold.
“Do you even know who I am?” Guijianren yelled, his eyes red with fury.
Slap!
Xiao Yang’s response was another slap.
“Who do you think you are? Even if you were the Holy Son of the Guiyuan Martial Sect, I’d still hit you!”
Xiao Yang declared, stomping on Liu Rulong while slapping Guijianren repeatedly.
Under the pressure of Xiao Yang’s overwhelming power, Guijianren couldn’t evade.
Soon, he was unrecognizable, bloodied and bruised.
Finally, Xiao Yang raised his hand high and struck Guijianren with a powerful slap that sent him spinning and collapsing to the ground.
The crisp sound of the slap echoed, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
Even Jiang Ting couldn’t hold back.
“Senior Brother, you’re insane! He’s a disciple of the Guiyuan Martial Sect!”
“So what?”
Xiao Yang’s indifference only deepened.
Liu Rulong’s entourage was dumbfounded.
“You…”
Jiang Ting was left speechless.
The consequences of striking a Guiyuan Martial Sect disciple would be severe. The sect’s power was far greater than that of the Azure Sun Sword Sect.
Meanwhile, Qin Fei’s heart soared with delight. The more trouble Xiao Yang caused, the better.
“Xiao Yang… Brother Xiao, I was wrong! Please spare me!”
Liu Rulong, terrified, pleaded desperately.
“Hmph.”
Xiao Yang sneered.
Crunch!
With a swift motion, he stomped on Liu Rulong’s head, crushing it completely.
Everyone watching was stunned.
That was Liu Rulong, whose family was backed by the Guiyuan Martial Sect!
Xiao Yang had just killed him outright.
“You…”
Guijianren was equally horrified.
Jiang Ting and the others couldn’t believe their eyes.
Only Qin Fei silently rejoiced.
Xiao Yang, oh Xiao Yang, you’ve fallen right into my trap.
From this moment, Yuanlong City would be plunged into chaos.
