Xiao Yang's Ruthlessness

Seeing one of their companions crippled by Xiao Yang's elbow, the remaining cloaked figures could not help but stop in their tracks as they charged toward Xiao Yang and the other two.

In truth, the strength of Galeo's guards was roughly the same.

They were all merely Dou Zhes.

After all, if they had been Dou Masters, they would not have served as Galeo's guards.

Even in Wutan City, Dou Masters held no low status.

Generally speaking, a Dou Master in the Three Great Families would at least be a steward.

Thus, after seeing Xiao Yang cripple a guard with a single elbow strike, the others all looked at him with some fear.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er remained calm as well.

They did not take these people seriously at all.

One had Elder Yao protecting him, while the other had Ling Ying guarding her.

It could be said that among the three of them, Xiao Yang—the one who frightened them most—was actually the easiest to deal with.

"Get them!"

"What are you standing around for?!"

At that moment, Galeo had barely bothered to disguise his voice.

The others could clearly hear the slight tremble in it.

After hesitating for a moment, the remaining guards still charged at Xiao Yang together.

"Attack together! He's alone—if we join forces, he won't stand a chance!"

One of the guards shouted as he rushed at Xiao Yang.

Yet despite what he said, he secretly slowed his pace.

"Brother Yang, do you need help?"

Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at Xiao Yang.

Xun'er also said with a sweet smile,

"Can Cousin Xiao Yang handle it?"

A trace of excitement flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes. This was his first actual combat.

He had finally gotten an opportunity to test his strength.

"No need. I'll handle this myself."

Rather than retreating, he advanced, charging straight at the cloaked guards.

The Dou Qi within his body had already been converted into Lightning Attribute Dou Qi.

Lightning Attribute Dou Qi was exceptionally violent in battle.

When using the same Dou Skill, Lightning Attribute Dou Qi was somewhat more powerful than Dou Qi of other attributes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw a punch at the guard in front.

Although Eight Extremes Collapse was primarily executed with the elbow, it could also be used with a fist, though with less power.

Still, facing several opponents alone, fists gave him greater flexibility.

"Boom!"

The punch sent his opponent staggering back several steps.

However, this time, the opponent was not crippled by a single punch.

The main reason was that he had been prepared. He had not directly clashed with Xiao Yang and had managed to defend himself.

Furthermore, Eight Extremes Collapse was less powerful when Xiao Yang used his fist rather than his elbow.

The instant the guard was forced back, another guard stepped forward, intending to crush Xiao Yang while his old force had faded and his new force had yet to emerge.

But Xiao Yang had long been prepared.

His punching right arm swept aside to block the attack.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yang turned, his waist driving his shoulder, and his shoulder driving his left elbow.

In the next instant, the Dou Qi he had prepared in advance flowed into the Meridians corresponding to Eight Extremes Collapse in his left arm.

A Heart-Piercing Elbow shot directly toward his opponent's chest.

This time, Xiao Yang held nothing back and unleashed the elbow strike with all his strength.

"Boom!"

With his Proficiency at 7, Xiao Yang had already cultivated seven layers of Dark Force.

At that moment, all seven layers of Dark Force were driven directly into his opponent's body.

"Crack!"

"Pfft—"

A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out. The man spat out a mouthful of blood, and even his mask fell off.

After stumbling back a few steps, he finally collapsed to the ground. He was taking in less air than he exhaled, clearly on the verge of death.

At that moment, no guard dared step forward again.

They had originally thought they were merely here to teach a few youngsters a lesson. Instead, not only had they failed, they might lose their lives!

Galeo stood frozen in place as well.

But Xiao Yang did not care about them.

Taking advantage of their stunned state, he adjusted the Dou Qi within his body.

The next moment, he launched an elbow strike at the nearest person.

That guard had no intention of fighting Xiao Yang at all. He immediately turned around and tried to flee.

But how could he outrun Xiao Yang, who had already entered his acceleration phase?

Xiao Yang did not hold back in the slightest with this elbow either, striking the back of the man's head directly.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The previous one had still been breathing. This one could not even do that.

As for later, he would have no chance for that either.

Galeo was completely terrified by then and collapsed onto the ground.

The guards also turned to flee.

Seeing Galeo slumped on the ground, they hurriedly dragged him up and fled with him.

After all, if they returned alone while Galeo did not, they might suffer something worse than death.

[Mission: Repel Galeo and his guards. Reward: Foundation Building Divine Liquid +1, one Grade 3 Meridian Protecting Pill. Completed. Claim reward?]

The System Prompt Tone rang out in Xiao Yang's mind the moment they turned to flee.

But Xiao Yang had no intention of letting them off so easily.

Since they had dared to try to ambush them, they had to pay a price.

He was not such a softhearted gentleman as Xiao Yan.

Since he had already acted, it was best to pull them out by the roots.

Without hesitation, he took a Swiftness Pill from the system.

With a thought from Xiao Yang, a Swiftness Pill appeared in his mouth.

The next moment, Xiao Yang's speed surged, and he instantly caught up to the rearmost guard.

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw another punch.

Having learned from the fate of the previous guard, the man tried to turn back and block.

But after taking the Swiftness Pill, Xiao Yang's punching speed had increased as well.

Before the man could even raise his arm to defend himself, the punch struck his throat bone directly.

"Crack!"

Xiao Yang did not even spare him a glance as he continued running toward the remaining people.

After he killed another guard, the last two finally dragged Galeo into a marketplace.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang could not continue pursuing them.

After all, the marketplace Galeo had entered belonged to the Jia Lie Family.

It was filled entirely with their people.

"Hmph!"

Looking at the guards at the marketplace entrance, Xiao Yang snorted coldly and left.

He would let Galeo live a few more days.

"How was it, Brother Yang? Are you alright?"

Xiao Yan caught up at that moment. He had not expected Xiao Yang to be so ruthless.

Not only were his attacks vicious, but he had even wanted to wipe them out completely.

Xun'er, however, did not think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she felt Xiao Yang had done the right thing.

In her eyes, not only Galeo, but the entire Jia Lie Family were mere ants.

"I'm fine. It's a pity they made it back to the marketplace."

Xiao Yang spoke as he took out a piece of cloth from his Storage Ring and wiped his hands with disgust.

Although it was his first time killing someone, he felt fine about it.

After all, he had prepared himself long ago.

On the Dou Qi Continent, it was impossible to avoid killing.

Even someone with Xiao Yan's temperament had killed quite a few people.

Lin Dong next door was even more outrageous, casually exterminating entire families at every turn.

The two he had killed this time had mostly suffered internal injuries, so he did not feel too bad about it. At most, he found it a little disgusting.

"Let's go. I need to get back and refine pills."

"Are you coming with me?"

"Or will you keep shopping?"
