He Killed Jia Lie Old Dog's Son! "These... are materials for refining Qi Gathering Powder?" Gu Ni's face filled with undisguised shock.

Besides these, there were some materials whose purpose he did not know, and all of them were of exceptionally high grade! Could he be a Tier-4 Alchemist, or even higher?

At the thought of this possibility, Gu Ni's hands trembled. "Although I had long determined that his alchemy far surpassed mine, how could a tiny place like Wutan City possibly have a Tier-4 Alchemist?"

Watching Gu Ni nearly lose his composure, Ya Fei lightly bit her pearly teeth as the fair hand extending from the Black Robe surfaced in her mind.

"A great figure has come to this little city..."

At this moment.

Marketplace.

"Eh, isn't this Miss Xun Er? Hehe, I never thought I would run into you here. What fate."

A richly dressed young man walked toward Xun Er, surrounded by a crowd as though stars encircling the moon.

Xun Er frowned and turned to leave.

"Miss Xun Er!"

Seeing Xun Er turn away, Jia Lieao immediately became anxious. He quickened his pace and blocked her path. "Miss Xun Er, you know how I feel about you! Why are you so devoted to that trash Xiao Yan?"

Jia Lieao could not accept it!

In looks, family background, or strength, which of those was he inferior to Xiao Yan in?

"Jia Lieao, take your filthy hand away!"

When Jia Lieao reached out to grab Xun Er, an angry roar rang out, followed by a fierce gust of wind blasting toward him.

"Xiao Ning?"

Jia Lieao disdainfully shifted aside, then lightly tripped Xiao Ning with his foot, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt. "A mere Seven Stage Dou Qi dares raise a hand against me? If not for your grandfather's sake, I'd have crippled you!"

"You..."

Spitting out the dirt and sand in his mouth, Xiao Ning glared hatefully at Jia Lieao. "Young Master Jia Lieao, everyone in Wutan City knows your womanizing ways! Xun Er likes Cousin Xiao Yan. She has no time to play house with you!"

"Hm?" Jia Lieao raised a puzzled brow.

He had assumed Xiao Ning attacked him because Xiao Ning liked Xun Er too. He had not expected him to be standing up for Xiao Yan.

"Damn it!"

Jia Lieao instantly flew into a rage, raising his foot and stomping hard on Xiao Ning's chest. "Xiao Yan again! What the hell is he? He's nothing but a fallen piece of trash! If you've got the guts, make him say it to my face!"

"Jia Lieao!"

A chill entered Xun Er's beautiful eyes. A wisp of golden flame flickered forth, only to extinguish immediately afterward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of heavy impacts sounded. Jia Lieao frowned and turned around, his heart instantly trembling violently.

The thugs who had come with him lay scattered across the ground, groaning in pain.

Crack!

Xiao Yan stepped on the chest of a Three Star Dou Zhe and gave it a slight twist, shattering the man's chest.

"You..." Jia Lieao backed away in terror.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yan's figure flashed. He seized Jia Lieao by the neck and slowly lifted him into the air. "Did you hit my cousin?"

Jia Lieao struggled in agony, unable to breathe.

"Cousin Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Ning scrambled to his feet in panic. "I'm fine, just a few superficial wounds! Don't act rashly. He's Jia Liebi's son..."

Crack!

Xiao Yan expressionlessly snapped Jia Lieao's neck, then flung him toward the distant ground as if tossing away a dead dog.

"I killed Jia Lie Old Dog's son!"

Bang!

Jia Lieao's corpse crashed to the ground. His wide-open eyes were filled with bewilderment.

He...

Had been killed just like that? Whoosh!

An uproar instantly swept through the entire marketplace as everyone stared at Xiao Yan in horror.

Among Wutan City's three major powers, the Jia Lie Family was the strongest. Had Xiao Yan gone mad?!

Yet Xiao Yan merely sneered. "He has caused trouble on Xiao Family territory more than once or twice. With such a good chance to kill him, was I supposed to invite him for tea instead?"

Xiao Ning opened his mouth. As he looked at Xiao Yan, a trace of reverence appeared in his eyes.

"Ao'er!"

From the far end of the marketplace, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out. "You Xiao Family scum, you dared kill my son? You're courting death!"

Wrapped in green force energy, Jia Liebi rushed over like an enraged lion.

"Boy, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Jia Liebi's face twisted viciously. On his clenched fist, surging green Dou Qi condensed into a massive green vortex.

"A Two Star Great Dou Shi?"

Xiao Yan was utterly unafraid. He was even eager to try, wondering whether the Mysterious Yellow Flame in his qi vortex could burn a Da Dou Shi to death.

Whoosh!

Just as scorching Mysterious Yellow Flame surged from his fingertips, an enraged roar suddenly exploded through the street.

"Damn it, Jia Lie Old Dog! Since when did my Xiao Zhan's son need a bastard like you to teach him a lesson?"

A figure radiating fiery red light flashed in from outside the marketplace and appeared before Xiao Yan.

He threw back his head and roared, and faintly, the roar carried the sound of a lion's cry.

Lion Mountain Fissure!

Boom!

In midair, the two clashing figures trembled slightly before rapidly retreating.

As Xiao Zhan withdrew, he also grabbed Xiao Yan and pulled him behind him.

After dispersing the force energy, Xiao Zhan cast a cold glance at Jia Liebi in the distance and sneered. "Jia Liebi, you've truly lived like a dog. You actually have the nerve to attack a junior."

Jia Liebi's face twisted viciously as he pointed at Jia Lieao on the ground. "Your family's scum killed my son, Xiao Zhan. Today, you must give me an explanation!"

Xiao Zhan's expression shifted before he scoffed. "An explanation? Explanation my ass! If my son hadn't been able to beat your playboy, he'd be the one lying on the ground right now!"

"You..."

Sensing several streams of Dou Qi whistling over from the Xiao Family, Jia Liebi glared at Xiao Yan with eyes wide enough to split. "Don't let me find an opportunity, or else!"

"Or else what?"

The Xiao Family's Great Elder arrived with a wild laugh. Dou Qi surged over his aged palm as he struck at Jia Liebi.

"Just you wait!"

After viciously glaring at Xiao Yan, Jia Liebi picked up Jia Lieao's corpse and rushed out of the marketplace.

"Pah!"

Watching Jia Liebi flee, the Great Elder spat. "He talked tough, but his body was honest enough!"

After saying that.

He looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of ingratiation. "Yan'er, you aren't hurt, are you?"

"I'm fine." Xiao Yan smiled, somewhat disappointed.

But this was fine too.

Although he could not test the power of the Heavenly Flames, revealing them a little later would benefit him as well.

After all.

Even with Yao Lao backing him up, drawing the attention of certain great figures would still be troublesome.

"Stop staring! Haven't you ever seen someone kill a beast? Get back to business!"

Xiao Zhan happily waved his hand. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'm waiving half a month of your stall fees!"

"Thank you, Clan Leader Xiao!"

"Clan Leader Xiao is generous!"

"Clan Leader Xiao truly gave birth to a fine son!"

The stall owners were overjoyed and offered their congratulations. The looks they gave Xiao Yan also carried a tinge of envy.

If only such a genius had been born into their families!

"Come on, let's head back."

Xiao Yan patted Xiao Ning on the shoulder and said half-jokingly, "If a cousin stands up for his cousin, then that cousin can't fail to treat him like family."

"Once I refine the medicine, you'll be the first to get some!"

Xiao Ning's eyes lit up, his heart surging with excitement!

Pills!
