Even With Someone Behind You, You Must Die!

"How to prove it? Isn't my swordsmanship alone enough proof?"

Xiao Chen sneered at Zhao Tiangang.

With his current strength, he absolutely couldn't beat a Martial Master. He could only bring up Old Chou and Old Lin's names, hoping Zhao Tiangang would back down.

As for proof, what proof did he have!

Zhao Tiangang hesitated upon hearing this, his expression shifting.

In terms of strength, the masked youth before him was indeed astonishingly strong, a peerless swordsmanship prodigy, one in a million.

He didn't believe such a genius had no backing.

But for the youth to say he had two Sword Kings behind him was a bit too shocking. Each Sword King was a being capable of suppressing an entire region, extremely rare. For two to appear, both related to one person, was too exaggerated.

However, better safe than sorry. He was just here to get a job and make some profit, no need to risk his life!

What if this kid really had two Sword Kings behind him? Zhenbei King might not be afraid, but would he offend two Sword Kings for him? That was hard to say!

"Zhao Tiangang, what are you hesitating for? Why haven't you made a move yet?"

The Demon God Hall youth beside him saw Zhao Tiangang's hesitation and his face suddenly darkened.

"This kid's background is unusual, I need to think carefully!"

"What's there to think about? Now that the Demon Clan adults are at the city's doorstep, do you think you have a choice?"

Hearing the Demon God Hall youth's words, Zhao Tiangang turned his head and glanced around, finding thousands of ferocious dog demons staring at him, his face immediately turning ugly.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze, looked at Xiao Chen, and gritted his teeth, "Kid, don't blame me, you're asking for death!"

"No matter who's behind you, you've offended the Demon Clan, you must die here today!"

After weighing it again and again, he finally decided to kill Xiao Chen. If he didn't act, he would probably die here immediately. After killing Xiao Chen, he could just ask Xiao Lingtian for help. With Xiao Lingtian's protection, he believed Zhenbei King wouldn't stand idly by!

"As a human, how can you say such things? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Xiao Chen stared fixedly at Zhao Tiangang.

"Ashamed? Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. I just want to live, is there anything wrong with that?"

Zhao Tiangang felt no shame.

"Zhao Tiangang, if it weren't for Zhenbei King's protection, you would have been executed by slow slicing long ago for your behavior!"

The garrison commander couldn't help but shout angrily.

Although some important figures in Great Xia tacitly allowed abandoning civilians to protect martial artists, most of the high-ranking officials within the Demon Suppression Office deeply hated this practice and would severely punish it upon discovery!

Zhao Tiangang dared to be so rampant entirely because he had Zhenbei King's backing!

"Xiao Zhentian? What does this have to do with Xiao Zhentian?"

Xiao Chen was stunned and looked at the garrison commander.

"Young brother, how… how dare you call Zhenbei King by his name?"

The garrison commander looked at Xiao Chen in fear, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Zhenbei King was one of the ten kings of Great Xia, with a respected status. Everyone used honorifics when addressing him. He had never seen anyone dare to call him by his name.

"Hahaha, kid, you're really arrogant, daring to call Zhenbei King by his name, aren't you afraid of death?"

"As for my relationship with Zhenbei King? Do you know Zhenbei King's only son, Xiao Lingtian? I once saved his life, what do you think my relationship with Zhenbei King is?"

Zhao Tiangang looked at Xiao Chen and laughed wildly.

"You're talking nonsense, Zhenbei King clearly has two sons, Xiao Chen is the eldest son, Xiao Lingtian is just the youngest son, bullshit only son!"

Liu Sanji couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly cursed.

"Xiao Chen? That good-for-nothing? He's already been removed from the family tree by Zhenbei King Manor, didn't you know?"

Zhao Tiangang sneered dismissively.

Liu Sanji was dumbstruck, looking at Xiao Chen with a shocked expression.

Removed from the family tree?

Xiao Chen had given so much to Zhenbei King Manor, even shattering his Blood Essence to save Xiao Lingtian.

Later, he was neglected by his parents, but he never complained, showing great respect and filial piety to his parents.

Even when Xiao Lingtian wanted to take his fiancée and Zhenbei King and his wife forced him to break off the engagement, he just swallowed his anger and didn't make a fuss.

Such an obedient and sensible son was actually removed from the family tree by Zhenbei King Manor?

"Is it true?"

Liu Sanji looked at Xiao Chen with red eyes, his lips trembling slightly.

Xiao Chen didn't have much emotional fluctuation, he just nodded lightly.

"When did this happen?"

"A few days ago."

"Zhenbei King is confused!"

Liu Sanji suddenly roared.

He didn't understand what Xiao Chen had done that made Xiao Zhentian treat him so cruelly!

Was it because his dantian was shattered to save his younger brother?

Or was it because he didn't immediately agree when his parents helped his younger brother snatch the person he loved?

How could they be so cruel to such a good child? Where was the justice?

"Chicken… Chicken-Grandpa, be careful what you say!"

The garrison commander was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

"Screw it, I'm going to die today anyway, what's there to be careful about? A good kid like Xiao Chen shouldn't be treated like this!"

Liu Sanji's eyes were full of anger.

"Old thing, what are you shouting about? This world is a jungle. A piece of trash like Xiao Chen deserves to die! Young Master Lingtian is unmatched in talent, and I heard he's been accepted into Saintly Wasteland Academy. He's the one everyone expects to succeed, the chosen one!"

Zhao Tiangang sneered.

First, Xiao Chen's dantian was shattered, and then he was cursed by the Heavenly Dao. This kind of unlucky guy deserved to be finished!

"Trash? Do you know who's standing in front of you?"

Liu Sanji roared, his eyes red.

Zhao Tiangang was stunned, glanced at Xiao Chen in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

"He is…"

"Liu Sanji, no need to tell him so much!"

Just as Liu Sanji was about to reveal Xiao Chen's identity, Xiao Chen interrupted him in time.

His current plan was to develop secretly and not be too high-profile.

Didn't that damn Saintly Wasteland Old Man say that he would become a cripple in two days?

Then he would be a cripple for now!

It wouldn't be too late to go out after developing for a while!

The dog demons looked at the farce, a hint of impatience in their eyes. One of the dog demons, whose size was obviously a few circles larger than the other dog demons, ran to the Demon God Hall youth's ear and roared a few words in a low voice.

The Demon God Hall youth's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at Zhao Tiangang. "Zhao Tiangang, the dog demon lord said to kill this Sword Cultivator youth immediately, otherwise the Demon Clan will immediately begin the slaughter!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the field trembled, and a look of horror flashed in their eyes.

Zhao Tiangang was silent for a moment, clenched his right fist, and a heart-palpitating energy suddenly condensed on his right fist. An astonishing aura emanated from him.

"Boy, debts have owners, and grievances have targets. It's the Demon Clan who wants you dead! Don't seek revenge on the wrong person when you get to the underworld!"

Zhao Tiangang slowly raised his fist and aimed it at Xiao Chen's head.

A terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped Xiao Chen, and the latter's expression was solemn as he reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword behind him, intending to fight to the death.

However, although he had the will to fight, he also knew that he had no chance of winning.

With his current combat power, he could be called invincible below the Martial Master Realm.

But without sword skills, he didn't have the ability to fight a Martial Master.

Before, he had almost been seriously injured by Xiao Lingtian's attack at the Martial Master Realm, and Zhao Tiangang was a genuine Martial Master, whose strength was not comparable to Xiao Lingtian's. He was definitely not his opponent!

"System, save me!"

In this critical moment, he could only ask the system for help. In his opinion, the system shouldn't let him die just like that!

[A true powerhouse must experience thousands of disasters and hardships, and wander on the edge of life and death countless times before they can transform into a god.]

"So…"

[So the host needs to carry things on their own. If they die, then that is the host's fate!]

Xiao Chen: "…"

Damn it!

Was the system so heartless?

"Boy, get on the road! In your next life, don't think about being a hero. It's not that easy to be a hero!"

Zhao Tiangang's expression turned cold, and he suddenly punched out.

The terrifying Blood Essence shook the void, making a sonic boom.

The purple fist light, like an evil dragon, roared and flew towards Xiao Chen's head.

"It's over!"

The garrison commander closed his eyes in despair.

No matter how talented Xiao Chen was, he would definitely not be able to avoid this punch!

"Dodge!"

Liu Sanji roared like a madman.

He could already foresee the gruesome sight of Xiao Chen's head shattering.

Xiao Chen also sensed the aura of death, but waiting for his demise wasn't his style. In a flash, he suddenly drew his sword, ready to fight for his life.

But just then, a strong spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared. In the next instant, a golden-robed old man appeared silently in front of Xiao Chen, directly striking out a palm and shattering the fist radiance.

Appearing with the old man were a silver-haired girl of stunning beauty and nearly a hundred blood-armored guards.

The girl was surrounded by the blood-armored guards like a moon surrounded by stars. Each blood-armored guard was burly and exuded a terrifying Blood Essence!

Each of them was actually a master of the ninth level of the Martial Apprentice Realm, and such masters were merely guards!

A trace of horror flashed in the eyes of everyone present as they looked incredulously at the blood-armored guards and the silver-haired girl protected in their midst.

What kind of person could possess such a terrifying guard?
