Xiao Chen's heart immediately sank when he heard Gale Ao's words. He hurriedly stepped in front of Xiao Xun'er and asked, "Xun'er, are you all right?"
"Brother Xiao Chen, why are you here?"
Seeing Xiao Chen appear before her and hearing his concern, Xiao Xun'er hurriedly shook her head to show that she was fine.
Yet warmth filled Xun'er's heart. Being cared for and protected felt so wonderful.
"I heard from Sister Ya Fei that you might be in danger, so I rushed over right away. Good thing you're all right."
Xiao Chen explained. In front of Xun'er, he had also changed how he addressed Ya Fei. Then, his icy gaze turned toward Gale Ao, Liu Xi, and the others in the distance.
Gale Ao and Liu Xi saw that Xiao Xun'er, who had been cold and aloof toward them moments ago, had become so gentle and dependent in front of Xiao Chen. Intense jealousy filled their eyes.
"Get him! Kill him!"
Gale Ao's face darkened. He stared coldly at Xiao Chen, pointed at him, and snarled.
After speaking, Gale Ao and Liu Xi hastily retreated. Gale Ao knew perfectly well that he was no match for Xiao Chen—he was only a Dou Zhe. Besides, the Gale Family's goal this time had already been achieved: to lure Xiao Chen out.
Xiao Chen, you're dead now. As Gale Ao backed away, his gaze swept over the surroundings. He saw members of the Gale Family and the Oba Family rushing toward their location from afar.
More than a dozen breaths later, the Gale Family Patriarch arrived beside Gale Ao with the Gale Family's two elders. As for the Oba Family, they remained on the outer perimeter, blocking the Xiao Clan members.
"Father, that kid is Xiao Chen."
When Gale Ao saw Jia Lie Bi arrive, he pointed at Xiao Chen in the distance and said.
"Second Brother, go kill him. Be quick."
Jia Lie Bi glanced at Xiao Chen, a cold glint flashing through his eyes as he spoke icily.
The Middle-aged Man beside Jia Lie Bi nodded at those words, grinned, and shot forward toward Xiao Chen.
At that moment, Xiao Chen had just punched a Gale Family guard to death, sending him collapsing to the ground, while he himself continued retreating.
The moment the Gale Family and Oba Family arrived, Xiao Chen had known that he had been set up.
"Xun'er, be careful. My father and the others should be here soon."
Seeing the Second Elder of the Gale Family's two elders charging toward him from afar, Xiao Chen spoke to Xun'er. He stopped retreating and instead rushed toward the Gale Family's Second Elder.
Jia Lie Nu, the Gale Family's Second Elder, possessed Three-Star Great Dou Shi Dou Qi cultivation.
"Brother Xiao Chen, be careful!"
Seeing Xiao Chen actually charge toward Jia Lie Nu, Xiao Xun'er was about to rush after him when Xiao Yu grabbed her. Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "The Gale Family's target this time is Xiao Chen. Besides, Xiao Chen only wants to stall until the Patriarch and the others arrive."
With Xiao Xun'er's intelligence, she understood this after hearing Xiao Yu's words. Still, she did not know whether Xiao Chen could hold out against Jia Lie Nu until the Patriarch and the others arrived.
"Hmph, damn Gale Family. If anything happens to Brother Xiao Chen..."
Xiao Xun'er watched Xiao Chen's figure, then glanced at the Gale Family members in the distance. A chilling gleam flashed through her beautiful eyes.
"It looks like the Xiao Family's Blood Recovery Pills have driven the Gale Family's Spring Return Powder out of the market. That's why they've been forced into desperation and are trying to kill Xiao Chen to eliminate all future trouble."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Looks like Wutan City is about to undergo a change."
"After today, Wutan City will only have two great families left. As for the Xiao Family, I'm afraid they'll fall into the ranks of second- or third-rate families."
The local residents of Wutan City watching from the outermost edge saw the Gale Family and Oba Family joining forces to suppress the Xiao Family, and they began discussing it one after another.
When Jia Lie Nu saw that Xiao Chen was not fleeing but instead charging at him, he froze for a moment. Then he grinned and said, "You're courting death."
Jia Lie Nu clenched his hand into a fist, frantically circulating the Dou Qi within his body into it as he hurled the punch toward Xiao Chen's chest.
Seeing Jia Lie Nu's supremely confident expression, Xiao Chen sneered inwardly. You dared to scheme against me. Too bad you miscalculated my true strength.
Xiao Chen also clenched his fist. At the same time, he activated one hundred Giant Elephant Micro-Particles within his body, channeling ten million jin of immense strength into his fist as he punched directly at Jia Lie Nu's fist.
"Xiao Chen is actually going to clash head-on with Jia Lie Nu?"
The Xiao Clan members behind Xiao Chen gasped when they saw what he was doing.
In their eyes, Xiao Chen's actions were simply suicidal. Beside them, Xiao Yu's eyes widened.
She knew Xiao Chen was stronger than her, but Jia Lie Nu was a Great Dou Shi.
With a thunderous boom, before everyone's stunned eyes, Jia Lie Nu was sent flying by Xiao Chen's single punch. He crashed heavily onto the ground, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
Crack!
The crowd watching in the Market shuddered involuntarily at the sound, because it was the sound of bones breaking.
"Second Brother!"
Jia Lie Bi was the first to recover from his shock. He quickly rushed to Jia Lie Nu's side and prepared to help him up.
But in the next moment, Jia Lie Bi's eyes turned crimson as he looked at Jia Lie Nu. Blood was pouring wildly from Jia Lie Nu's mouth, and he was barely clinging to life.
Then Jia Lie Bi abruptly rose to his feet, glaring at Xiao Chen with bloodshot eyes. Unconcealed killing intent filled his gaze, because even if Jia Lie Nu survived in that state, he would be crippled for life.
This was as good as stabbing the Gale Family viciously in the back. The Gale Family had only three Da Dou Shi, yet Xiao Chen had directly crippled one of them. How could he not be furious?
"Third Brother, let's attack together. There's something strange about this brat."
Jia Lie Bi spoke coldly. Then, a Middle-aged Man came to stand beside him. The two exchanged a glance and nodded.
The next moment.
The two charged at Xiao Chen together. However, unlike Jia Lie Nu, they did not rush in to engage Xiao Chen in close combat. Instead, they directly unleashed Dou Qi Armor.
All of this happened within a dozen breaths. Xiao Chen withdrew his fist and swept his gaze over the two men charging toward him.
Clearly, the two were being cautious. They had not underestimated him because of his low Cultivation like Jia Lie Nu had. From the start, they had used the signature ability of a Da Dou Shi: Dou Qi Armor.
"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
With an angry roar, Jia Lie Bi directly unleashed a Black Rank Dou Technique at Xiao Chen.
Not far from him, the Gale Family's Third Elder also used the Gale Family's Black Rank Dou Technique.
The next moment, two streaks of crimson blade light slashed toward where Xiao Chen stood. Their sharpness was enough to cut a person in half.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen instinctively moved to dodge the blade lights. But behind him stood the people of the Xiao Family.
Most of them were below the Dou Zhe level. Only Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu were Dou Zhe.
Xiao Chen could evade this attack, but the Xiao Family members behind him might not be so fortunate.
