Volume 1: Xiao City, Xiao Family, Xiao Chen Chapter 108: No Mercy
Xiao Chen's eyes swept over, seeing that his father was safe and sound, he slightly let out a breath of relief, but his gaze fell on the many Xiao family disciples, seeing that most of them had unstable breathing, obviously their injuries were not light, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a few hints of killing intent.
"Rest assured, Father, I will take care of these people!" As he spoke, a chill emanated from his eyes, enveloping Cheng Sanjin and the Wu family members, "You dare to deceive the Xiao family? You shall die!"
As its voice fell, a powerful surge of magical energy swept out from its body, like a raging tide, crazily pressing down on Cheng Sanjin and the others!
"Not good!" Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Xiao Chen, Cheng Sanjin's face changed instantly, and his eyes revealed a hint of shock. "This young man wasn't just an honorary disciple at Luoyun Valley a year ago, how could he possibly have such cultivation now? It's not even weaker than a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"Escape! This person can have such a cultivation, must be that the innate talent is excellent, and it's likely to be highly valued by Luoyun Valley. There may be various treasures on his body, I'm not his opponent at all, let's leave quickly!" Cheng Sanjin's small eyes turned around, and he had already made up his mind.
"You little brat, you want to be arrogant? Eat the old ancestor's treasure!" As he spoke, this person suddenly raised his hand and threw it out. A burst of golden light exploded from his hand in an instant, with a powerful momentum that made people dare not look straight at it. After a brief spin, it flew straight down towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he reached into his storage bag to retrieve a shield-shaped spirit artifact. As spiritual energy was channeled into it, the shield instantly expanded to a size of one zhang, enveloping him in its protection. The golden light seemed to be an unknown entity, but judging from its aura, it was no weaker than a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's full-powered strike. Xiao Chen didn't dare underestimate it either.
But just as the Wu family was about to cheer for Lao Zu's boundless magical powers, they saw a layer of escaping light suddenly appear on Cheng Sanjin's body, and he actually slipped away with oil on his feet, instantly rushing outwards, leaving everyone stunned on the spot.
"Hmm?" But just as the golden light was only a few inches away from Xiao Chen, its luster suddenly disappeared, and a special patterned talisman appeared, which immediately caught fire.
"Fantasy Symbol!" Xiao Chen was momentarily stunned, but just as he reacted, Cheng Sanjin had already flown out of the grand hall, his body flashing with escaping light, frantically fleeing outward!
Xiao Chen saw clearly the direction he escaped in, but only coldly smiled and didn't make any move.
Quiet!
The entire Xiao family stared in shock, rubbing their eyes frantically, still unable to believe what was happening before them.
"That Chang Lao, actually... actually ran away..." Xiao Wenting's lips trembled slightly, his eyes fell on Xiao Chen, filled with a shocked expression.
"This guy fled without a fight, clearly thinking he's no match for Xiao Chen. Could it be that in just one year, he's become even more formidable than the Sect Leader?" The fifth elder of the Xiao family muttered to himself, casting a glance at Xiao Chens father before subtly taking a step back, falling half a position behind.
"It seems that during this year, Big Brother Xiao Chen must have had some extraordinary encounters in Luoyun Valley!" The group of Xiao family juniors looked at Xiao Chen with even more reverence in their eyes, and thinking back to his previous words "Deceive the Xiao family, you will die", they also showed a few hints of closeness.
"Morning son, it seems you've grown too much in just one year, exceeding your father's imagination." Xiao Father's face showed a few hints of pride under the gaze of the crowd, feeling delighted to have a son like Xiao Chen. However, at this moment, his expression changed and he exclaimed: "Not good! This person has already made an enemy of my Xiao family. Morning son, quickly retrieve that thing, otherwise if he escapes, in the future if he makes a sneak attack, my Xiao family will be in danger!"
Xiao Wenting and others heard this and their faces also changed at the same time, thinking of the crisis in it, a few points of anxiety appeared on their faces.
Xiao Chen's face showed no unusual color, at this moment he looked up to the sky and said softly: "Father doesn't need to worry, he will be back soon."
Just as everyone was in doubt, three flashes of light suddenly appeared on the horizon, with one leading and two following, rushing towards this place at high speed. The flashes were still far away when a panicked voice from Cheng Sanjin came from afar: "There must be some misunderstanding here, please listen to my explanation! If you can spare me, I will surely reward you heavily!" As he spoke, the flashes converged and stopped above the Xiao family's residence.
At this moment, Cheng Sanjin's heart was filled with hatred. That damned Wu Sansheng, he wanted to kill him! Just because two disciples from the Luoyun Valley had appeared, tmd, wouldn't a named disciple have at least mid-Foundational stage cultivation? And when a named disciple returned home, they would be followed by such a large group of powerful experts!
Xiao Chen's face showed no unusual color, this matter had long been within his expectations. Earlier he and Cheng Sanjin burst out with momentum, naturally they couldn't escape the perception of Ma Lao and Sun Lao, with these two people here, how could Cheng Sanjin possibly escape?
"If I hadn't returned home today, wouldn't the Xiao family have been completely annihilated by you? Do you think a single misunderstood sentence can save your life?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and his heart was also secretly shocked, breaking out in a cold sweat. With the means of a foundation-building cultivator, if he had appeared half a minute later, the entire Xiao family would have been completely destroyed. Thinking that his parents were in such a critical situation earlier, Xiao Chen's heart surged with murderous intent! Today, he didn't plan to let any of these people go, and if this matter couldn't be used as a warning to others, how could he feel at ease cultivating outside in the future?
Cheng Sanjin heard Xiao Chen's murderous response, and his eyes were instantly filled with fear. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "I am the third elder of the Golden Water Sect! Although your Luoyun Valley is powerful, if you kill me here, my Golden Water Sect will not let it go easily!"
At this moment, Ma Zhang and Sun Zhang converged their lights, forming a pincer attack, firmly locking down Cheng Sanjin.
Xiao Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he immediately asked the two: "Excuse me, Elder Ma and Elder Sun, our Xiao family has been protected by the sect for thousands of years. This news has spread throughout the entire Northern Hua State's cultivation world. This person just now wanted to exterminate my entire Xiao family. If it were just my humble Xiao family, we would have no choice but to endure. Would this not be disrespectful to Qingyun Subsidiary Sect's leader? Does he not despise our Luoyun? How should we handle this, please decide, esteemed elders."
In Xiao Chen's words, there was a hint of coldness. The two elders, Ma and Sun, were also secretly annoyed. Just now, Lu Yun Valley had promised to protect the Xiao family for generations, but today, Cheng Sanjin wanted to destroy the Xiao clan. If this matter couldn't be handled properly, it would not only make Xiao Chen distrust the sect, but also greatly damage the reputation of Lu Yun Valley. Thinking of this, the two elders' eyes turned icy as they glared at Cheng Sanjin and coldly shouted: "Destroying our sect's protection for generations is equivalent to being an enemy of Lu Yun Valley! Kill!"
The word "kill" was spoken, and a strong surge of magical power burst forth from the two men's bodies, entwining and merging into one, pressing down on Cheng Sanjin with a loud crash.
