"Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan, I originally intended to slowly boil the frog and swallow the Xiao Family bit by bit. But since you've forced me this far, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Watching the Xiao Family Marketplace descend into chaos in the distance, Jia Liebi let out a sinister laugh filled with delight.
"Clan Leader, once the merchants lose faith in the Xiao Family, the marketplace business in Wutan City will belong solely to the Jia Lie Family!"
The Jia Lie Clan member beside him flattered him.
"Just keep watching the show!" Jia Liebi stood with his arms crossed, beaming.
But very soon.
His smile suddenly froze.
"Hehehe, another few thousand Gold Coins' worth of goods in hand. The Xiao Family has so many fat sheep!"
A Gray Robe Dou Shi cackled as he rushed into an alley, intending to flee in the planned direction.
Azure Wave Palm!
The Gray Robe Dou Shi was abruptly sent flying into the air, his widened eyes filled with astonishment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! He landed on a rooftop, rolled helplessly several times, and his heart shattered.
At the same time.
Elsewhere.
Thousand Needle Thrust!
Zhou Cang coldly extended his palm. His withered yellow Dou Qi transformed into countless wooden needles, pinning two terrified Gray-robed Men to the wall.
"Da Dou Shi?!" Jia Liebi paled in shock.
Hadn't all three Elders of the Xiao Family left the city? Why did the Xiao Family still have a Da Dou Shi?!
"Clan Leader, look!" a Jia Lie Clan member cried in terror.
Following the direction he pointed, Jia Liebi discovered in horror that several more Dou Shi of the Jia Lie Family had been slain.
Furious Lion Aura!
Xiao Zhan raised his right fist with a savage grin, blazing Dou Qi seemingly transforming into a roaring lion's head.
Boom!
A Nine Star Dou Shi who had fought desperately slid dozens of meters across the ground, dying with his eyes still open.
"Where did the Xiao Family find these reinforcements?!"
Jia Liebi frantically pulled out a whistle, wanting to summon his clan members back.
"Since you've come, stay here for good!"
As Xiao Zhan's cold laugh rang out, more than a dozen tightly shut doors were violently blasted open by powerful Dou Qi.
Several Xiao Family Dou Shi who had long been lying in ambush, along with dozens of Dou Zhe, blocked the retreat of the Gray Robe Dou Shi.
"Clan Leader, save me!"
"Ah!"
For Zhou Yuan and Zhou Cang, dealing with these Dou Shi was as easy as slaughtering pigs and sheep.
Surging Wave Palm!
Entangling Root Force!
The corpses of several Gray Robe Dou Shi flew high into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Their dead faces were filled with horror and unwillingness.
"Trying to run?"
Flaming Dou Qi exploded beneath his feet, and Xiao Zhan transformed into a streak of light, appearing behind a Gray Robe Dou Shi.
"Jia Liekun, give your clan leader my regards!"
Xiao Zhan twisted his hands.
With a crisp crack, Jia Liekun's head turned backward.
"Xiao! Zhan!"
Jia Liebi's body trembled, his eyes splitting with rage.
The Xiao Family.
They wanted to go to war with the Jia Lie Family completely!
Just as several Gray Robe Dou Shi fought desperately and finally found a sliver of hope.
"Clan Leader Xiao, criminals who disrupt commercial order deserve death. Let Oba Pa lend you a hand!"
Oba Pa and two Red Robe Da Dou Shi charged over from afar with wild laughter.
"Kill!"
Oba Pa waved his hand, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
He would be more than happy to use this opportunity to severely weaken the Jia Lie Clan! "Oba Pa, you..."
Boom!
With one punch, Oba Pa shattered the Gray-robed Man's abdomen and revealed a grim smile.
"Chief Oba, you came at just the right time!" Xiao Zhan shouted with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
"Clan Leader Xiao, such a huge problem occurred in your marketplace. Why didn't you let me know? The Xiao Family runs marketplaces, while I run underground gambling houses. Our two families have plenty of opportunities to cooperate!" Oba Pa said with a hypocritical smile.
"Oba Pa!"
Watching the Jia Lie Clan members being slaughtered one after another, Jia Liebi's eyes turned red! "Clan Leader, calm down!"
Seeing Jia Liebi about to rush down and fight to the death, the Jia Lie Clan members beside him hurriedly held him back.
Against the combined assault of several Da Dou Shi, Jia Liebi would not last even a minute before dying! Just as the last Gray Robe Dou Shi on the street was slain by Xiao Zhan and Oba Pa working together.
"Clan Leader Xiao, who exactly are these people?!" an injured merchant asked sorrowfully.
Although his goods had not been stolen, they had still been mostly destroyed.
His losses were devastating.
"They're merely bandits from the mountains outside the city!"
Xiao Zhan had no intention of exposing the truth. He loudly announced, "Everyone! All merchants whose goods have been damaged, please go to the Logistics Management Office to register. The Xiao Family will compensate you at the original price! The Xiao Family will cover all treatment costs for the injured! Moreover, all stall fees for the next three months will be waived!"
As Xiao Zhan laid out condition after condition, Oba Pa's face twitched continuously from nearby.
No wonder the Xiao Family had the highest prestige in Wutan City.
Xiao Zhan truly had courage and vision! "Clan Leader Xiao, you not only eliminated a major threat this time, but also won the people's hearts!" Oba Pa said with a chuckle.
"Aren't you the same?"
The two old foxes exchanged a glance and shared a knowing, wicked smile.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
As the merchants praised Xiao Zhan's righteousness, Jia Liebi's eyes became bloodshot.
The dozen or so Dou Shi he had sent out were the foundation of the Jia Lie Family, the backbone of the Jia Lie Family.
And yet.
Not one had survived! "No!"
"There's still one!"
A clan member suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly, "Clan Leader, Jia Lieqing is still alive!"
Boom!
With one punch, Jia Lieqing shattered a wooden door. He burst from his hiding place and frantically fled into the distance.
Along the way, he grabbed a White-clothed Woman by the shoulder and used her as a hostage.
"Not good!"
Xiao Zhan's scalp prickled as he charged toward them madly, with Zhou Yuan and Zhou Cang close behind.
"Hehe, Xiao Zhan's got a headache now." Oba Pa grinned strangely.
Despite the huge commotion in the marketplace, not a single person had died so far.
If a customer really died in the Xiao Family Marketplace, the Xiao Family's reputation would plummet! "Well done!" Jia Liebi's expression turned savage.
Kill!
Kill!
Having already lost his mind, how could he think of anything else? He wanted to perish together with the Xiao Family!
"Don't come any closer!"
Jia Lieqing let out a furious roar, bringing Xiao Zhan and the two Da Dou Shi to a halt.
Whoosh!
A sharp spike shot from Jia Lieqing's sleeve, aimed at the White-clothed Woman's neck.
"Xiao Zhan, you're ruthless!"
Jia Lieqing's entire face twisted. "You killed more than a dozen Dou Shi of my clan, yet pretended to know nothing and refused to expose their identities!"
Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes solemnly as he stared at Jia Lieqing.
That was right.
He had planned to kill a bandit outside the city next, mix him among the corpses, and claim that the Jia Lie Clan had colluded with vicious bandits.
To thoroughly condemn the Jia Lie Family.
"I won't let you have your way!"
Jia Lieqing raised the spike with a savage expression, aimed it at the woman's neck, and viciously stabbed down! "This is bad!"
Xiao Zhan's face turned ashen as he frantically mobilized his Dou Qi, but it was already too late.
"Jia Lieqing, what kind of skill is it to bully a weak woman?"
"Let me play with you instead!"
A faint mocking voice sounded from midair. Jia Lieqing looked up in astonishment.
The next moment.
Boom!
