If You Want to Kill My Man, Then I'll Kill You
"Ha ha."
As everyone's thoughts churned, Shen Yun, after a moment of surprise, burst into a furious laugh. This was the first time in all these years that a junior had told him to his face that he wasn't qualified! "Indeed, the younger generation surpasses the older. These days, every young person is more arrogant than the last. Very well, very well. Today, I'll see for myself why I'm not qualified."
Shen Yun laughed loudly, but anyone could hear the anger in his laughter. It seemed that this elder of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion was truly enraged by Xiao Yuan's words.
Hearing the hidden anger in Shen Yun's laughter, Han Chi and the others trembled in their hearts. Now they could only pray that Xiao Yuan really had the right to be arrogant.
Xiao Yuan wasn't surprised to have offended the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Given Wind and Thunder Pavilion domineering style, it was unlikely that they would agree to anything with him. As for going to the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion with this old man, that was something Xiao Yuan would never agree to. Once on their territory, with all their forces mobilized, even if he had many trump cards, he would likely be in grave danger. To deal with such a powerful enemy, if he couldn't win head-on, he would naturally have to divide and conquer them and fight a guerrilla war.
Stared at by Xiao Yuan's disdainful gaze, Shen Yun's smile gradually turned gloomy. His withered palms curled slightly, and a few chilling lightning bolts flashed out, finally leaping and appearing at his fingertips like electric sparks.
"I truly do not believe you can escape from my grasp today."
With a hint of killing intent in his eyes, Shen Yun slowly took a step forward. Silver light emerged from beneath his feet. As his foot landed, a thunderous sound rang out, and his figure vanished mysteriously.
Xiao Yuan's pupils narrowed slightly as he saw a ghostly figure appear directly above his head. The ghostly claw, crackling with lightning, brought with it a terrifying force that tore through space, aiming ruthlessly at the top of his head.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yuan was not afraid. His Dou Qi surged on his arm, and he also threw a punch, which collided fiercely with Shen Yun Lei ghost claw. Instantly, a muffled sound that made people's scalps tingle rang out, and a terrifying wave of energy spread out from the point of contact like a tide. Along the way, cracks burst out on the ground like a spider web.
"Bang!"
The arm, enveloped in azure Wind and Thunder Douqi, paused for a moment upon contact with the lightning ghost claw. Then, the latter's body trembled violently, and under a surge of fierce energy, it staggered back more than ten steps through the void before barely managing to regain its footing.
This unusual scene froze everyone's gaze. Especially after seeing that even Shen Yun couldn't withstand that punch, a sense of shock welled up from their hearts.
"Kid, you've been hiding your strength?"
Shen Yun said with a rather gloomy expression.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan did not intend to explain the reason to Shen Yun.
His physical strength was already formidable, and his physical attributes were no less than those of some magical beasts of the same level. Although he could not reach the level of Zi Yan, a top-tier member of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, he was still far beyond what ordinary humans who cultivated Dou Qi could match.
Even disregarding Dou Qi, Xiao Yuan could still gain the upper hand in a direct hand-to-hand combat with Yun Shan in the past, relying solely on his physical body. If we add the amplification from Dou Qi, Heavenly Flames, and cultivation techniques, although a large portion of his Dou Qi is currently sealed, the impact is not as significant as Hai Bodong's due to the amplification from the secret techniques of the Five Elements Qi Palace. In fact, because his actual strength exceeds his amplified strength, the side effects of the amplification are completely eliminated. Under these circumstances, dealing with Shen Yun seems easy, but in reality, it is not difficult.
"I've said it before, you're not qualified to cripple me."
Xiao Yuan said calmly.
"I never imagined that Xiao Yuan would become so strong!"
Han Yue couldn't help but sigh. She had thought Xiao Yuan was very powerful before, but seeing that Xiao Yuan could actually gain the upper hand in a battle against Dou Zong expert was still unbelievable.
"Xiao Yuan must have some background, otherwise, no matter how talented he is, he would not be able to reach this level on his own. Not to mention the terrifying secret technique that enhances his strength, just this punch alone is unmatched by any of the younger generation in a force like the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"
Han Chi murmured.
Upon hearing this, Han Yue was taken aback.
She had inquired about Xiao Yuan when she Inner Academy.
I know that Xiao Yuan's family background isn't particularly good, but his talent is indeed abnormally strong.
"This kid is incredibly strong!"
Having suffered some losses in the exchange, Shen Yun's face was unusually gloomy. He had never seen anyone use the power of a secret technique to forcibly raise their strength by an entire level!
What's even more bizarre is that this kid's physical strength is also terrifying, comparable to Dou Zong powerhouse who specializes in physical Dou Technique.
"A mere Four-Star Dou Zong dares to try and drag me to the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion? Since your Wind and Thunder Pavilion is so fond of Lightning Attribute Dou Qi, today, I'll show you what a true Thunder God Descent!"
As Xiao Yuan's icy voice rang out, his hands formed a hand seal, and with each flick of his wrists, his aura surged even higher.
The next moment, the world changed color, and a muffled thunder roared in the sky. A blue lightning spear condensed in Xiao Yuan's hand, and lightning surged. The abundant Dou Qi transformed into arcs of lightning, which traveled across Xiao Yuan's body. From a distance, it looked as if a thunder god had descended to earth.
Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique: Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Spear!
As Xiao Yuan changed his hand seals, the black patterns on the cyan spear in his hand suddenly surged out, covering most of the spear, and the destructive aura of the Black Demon Lightning also burst forth.
With a flash of azure lightning, Xiao Yuan's figure appeared in front of Shen Yun in an instant. Then, he brandished his spear and roared out like a dragon.
Sensing the destructive aura emanating from the lightning spear, Shen Yun was startled and immediately began to use his abilities, preparing to enhance his strength with the secret technique of the Thunder God Descent.
It's too late!
Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. He then thrust his gun forward with one hand, unleashing a flurry of spear flowers, while simultaneously gripping Shen Yun tightly with his other hand! Space Power transformed into a cage, enveloping Shen Yun and gradually shrinking within it.
As the Space Cage shrank, Shen Yun felt his movements becoming increasingly restricted, and the flow of his Dou Qi qi became sluggish.
"Hong Tianxiao! If you don't come out now, your Hong Clan will be wiped out!"
Sensing the intense aura of death emanating from Xiao Yuan's spear tip, Shen Yun couldn't help but roar in anger.
However, Xiao Yuan remained unmoved. His spear was filled with murderous intent, and with a casual flick of his wrist, dark golden Heavenly Flames covered it, forming dark golden flame patterns.
With the combined amplification of Black Demon Lightning and Heavenly Flames, the Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Spear can be upgraded to a level comparable to High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique.
Therefore, even though Shen Yun used all his skills, he was forced into a dangerous situation by Xiao Yuan, and could be defeated or even die on the spot at any time.
What's even more painful is that the terrifying Space Power around him is something that someone like Xiao Yuan, who forcibly relies on secret techniques to enhance his strength, should not be able to control.
In Shen Yun's memory, only Fei Tian, North Pavilion Master, could manipulate Space Power to this extent! What makes this kid so capable? "Elder Shen, are you ready to die?"
Xiao Yuan's sudden, sarcastic question sent a chill down Shen Yun's spine.
The next moment, he felt the surrounding Space Power suddenly tighten, completely binding him!
Hateful!
Shen Yun's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated his internal Dou Qi and unleashed the Thunder God Descent. His internal aura soared to the level of Five Star Dou Zong.
But it's not very useful.
They simply cannot break free from the confines of the Space Cage.
"Ha!"
At this moment, Xiao Yuan also slightly rotated his body, assuming a javelin-throwing posture. The energy of the Demonic Thunder Heavenly Flames Spear in his hand surged, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
However, at that moment, a powerful aura filled with furious killing intent suddenly emanated from the depths of the Hong Family Manor, followed by an angry roar that echoed like thunder throughout the entire Tianbei City.
"Whoever dares to kill a member of my Hong Clan, no matter who you are, I will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to ashes today!"
A furious roar, filled with murderous intent, rolled like thunder across the sky above Tianbei City, silencing the entire city for a moment. Countless gazes, tinged with horror, shot towards the direction from which the sound came.
The roar naturally reached Xiao Yuan's side as well, and many onlookers immediately gasped in surprise.
"It's actually Hong Tianxiao! As expected, he's been alerted!"
"Xiao Yuan is really in trouble this time. Hong Tianxiao is said to be a Five Star Dou Zong, stronger than Shen Yun of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion. Although his combat power is extremely terrifying, he is definitely not able to withstand the combined attack of two Dou Zong experts."
Ignoring the whispers around him, Xiao Yuan gathered his energy and hurled the Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Spear, which pierced Shen Yun's heart amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.
A Four-Star Dou Zong was easily killed by Xiao Yuan, just like a chicken or a dog!
As Xiao Yuan pierced Shen Yun's heart, a sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out in the sky. Immediately afterward, a blurry figure shot towards Xiao Yuan like lightning. The sinister killing intent emanating from his body could be felt even from a great distance.
"Boy, no matter who your elders are, you've killed so many members of my Hong Clan, I will never let you leave unscathed! Die!"
The two were not far apart, so when the angry roar came, Hong Tianxiao had already reached Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan glanced around and saw an old man with a yellow face dressed in a red robe, who was looking at him with a sinister expression, trying to take advantage of the moment when Xiao Yuan had just used his Dou Technique and his old strength had not yet dissipated and new strength had not yet been generated! Obviously, this old man knew that the chances of winning in a head-on fight were not high, so he wanted to launch a sneak attack to gain some advantage.
Xiao Yuan was about to pull off a clever escape when he suddenly smelled a familiar scent of datura flowers, which made him relax completely.
"You old bastard, how dare you ambush my men!"
A golden, serpentine longsword flew out from the space behind Xiao Yuan. Immediately afterward, Medusa, dressed in a red cheongsam, appeared. Amidst the surging of seven-colored Dou Qi, an aura no less powerful than that of Five Star Dou Zong erupted forth.
However, Medusa's true form is the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. As an ancient mythical beast, her combat power is naturally remarkable, and she is certainly not afraid to deal with Hong Tianxiao, who is of the same level.
Xiao Yuan was not surprised at all by this.
Months ago, Medusa was already able to suppress Great Elder Su Qian, so her strength was naturally not weak.
Forced to retreat by the sudden appearance of Medusa, Hong Tianxiao's face also turned gloomy.
"You'd better not get involved. This kid has offended not only the Hong Clan, but also the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. He killed Shen Yun, one of the Four Great Elders of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion, and the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion will not let him off!"
Hong Tianxiao was wary of Medusa's power and dared not make any rash moves. He could only issue a warning.
"He's just an old bastard, he's dead and that's it. As for the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, I've never heard of it. But Xiao Yuan's life is mine. If you want to kill him, I'll kill you!"
Medusa spoke in an icy, murderous tone.
"I have to say, I absolutely love you, my queen sister!"
Xiao Yuan approached Medusa and said with a smile.
"Hmph, you certainly have a good time, always finding a way to flirt and cause such a commotion wherever you go!"
Medusa had no intention of giving Xiao Yuan a pleasant look. Her gaze swept over Han Yue, then she glared at Xiao Yuan and said coldly.
"We can't just stand by and watch someone die, you know I'm a womanizer."
Xiao Yuan shrugged.
Besides, this doesn't really count as him having another affair; at most, he's just bringing home the flowers he had his eye on before.
Who told Xiao Yuan to be both good-looking and strong?
"Snort!"
Medusa's face grew even colder upon hearing this, and her gaze toward Hong Tianxiao became even more icy.
"I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve to kill my men right in front of me!"
In the distance, the Han Clan members watched the alluring beauty charge towards Hong Tianxiao, and all felt a mix of emotions.
Xiao Yuan was absolutely right; he really did have a partner at the Dou Zong level.
Moreover, its level is not low.
But, judging from this, their relationship doesn't seem like that of ordinary friends, does it?
But this woman's strength is so terrifying, if Han Yue marries Xiao Yuan, wouldn't she be forced to become a concubine?
Han Yue hadn't thought that far ahead.
To be honest, she had a good relationship with Xiao Yu, and through subtle questioning, she learned that Xiao Yuan did indeed have more than one woman.
But so what? She really liked Xiao Yuan. He was handsome, strong, and this was the second time he had saved her from trouble.
She would rather be Xiao Yuan's concubine than become Hong Chen's wife.
Besides, Xiao Yuan doesn't seem to care about size, and he's not the kind of superficial person who only likes his own body, right? Oh well, even if he is, so what?
Although the woman in front of her was very strong and seemed to have a bad temper, her words clearly showed that she was very protective of Xiao Yuan.
Of course, it seems like she's also a little jealous of herself. Well, maybe I'm overthinking it.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuan didn't want to just stand by and watch.
But Medusa acted as if she would fight him too if he dared to go up and help.
So Xiao Yuan had no choice but to go to Shen Yun's place to search the corpse.
