"Outrageous!"
Xiao Yang's expression darkened. He knew that Huangli and Zhao Changkong being beaten wasn't accidental, but because of him.
The Eldest Prince, Xiao Junlin, had lost a bet with him yesterday and was publicly humiliated, shamed beyond measure.
He was definitely harboring resentment and plotting revenge.
And the Fourth Prince was Xiao Junlin's loyal lackey, always fawning over him, which was why he ordered his concubine to bully Huangli.
"Let's go to the backyard first and check on Guard Zhao!"
Xiao Yang and Huangli went together to the backyard and entered a side room where servants lived.
"Cough, cough!"
A young man, about 20 years old, lay on the bed, coughing up blood uncontrollably. Not only was his arm broken, but he also had other serious injuries.
"Your Highness, why have you come?"
Guard Zhao was very surprised to see Xiao Yang and was about to get up to salute.
"No need for formalities!"
Xiao Yang immediately pressed him down.
Guard Zhao was named Zhao Changkong. At 20 years old, he was already a Third-grade Martial Artist, a master among ordinary people.
Having lost his parents at a young age, he was taken in by the Prince's Estate and chosen as Xiao Yang's personal guard.
Previously, the original owner hadn't paid much attention to Zhao Changkong, but now that Xiao Yang possessed the [Invincible Twin Pupils], he immediately noticed his extraordinary qualities.
Zhao Changkong's brow bone was like a sword's edge, slanting towards his temples. This was the sign of a "Sword Bone."
Although not comparable to Xiao Junlin's Supreme Bone, it often led to great achievements in the military, such as conquering the Xiongnu and carving inscriptions at Mount Yan.
Legend had it that Zhao Zilong and Qin Shubao possessed such features, with strong personalities, unyielding in the face of adversity, capable of commanding armies!
Currently, Xiao Yang lacked talented subordinates, making this a potential candidate for cultivation.
"Guard Zhao, who exactly injured you?" Xiao Yang asked.
"Reporting to Your Highness, my attacker was the Fourth Prince's Guard Captain, Kato. He is a Fourth-grade Martial Artist who cultivates the Golden Finger technique. He possesses immense strength, and I was no match for him. I've disgraced you!"
Zhao Changkong looked ashamed and self-reproachful due to his defeat.
Xiao Yang then recalled that the Fourth Prince's name was Xiao Chusheng, and his mother was not from Great Xia but a princess from the overseas vassal state of "East Pole Island."
Therefore, the Fourth Prince's concubine, Chizuru, and her guards were also from East Pole Island.
"Alright, it's easier to handle once we know who the opponent is! Guard Zhao, wait here, I'll go get revenge for you right now!"
Xiao Yang couldn't wait to set off.
He wasn't one of those "ninja turtles" who, despite having superior strength, would remain low-key and endure humiliation!
He had just mastered the Thunder Prison World Destroying Saber and was in need of a live target!
"Your Highness, you mustn't! You are of noble birth, how can you risk yourself for me..."
Zhao Changkong became anxious.
He still thought Xiao Yang was only a First Grade Martial Artist with low strength. If he rashly went to seek revenge, he would likely only bring shame upon himself.
"Search!"
Just then, a rude female voice suddenly came from outside.
"That's the Golden Hairpin His Highness gave me, worth 500 taels of silver!"
"Today, I'll dig three feet into the ground and strip that little slut's clothes off if I have to, but I'll find it!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in.
Leading them was the Fourth Prince's concubine, "Chizuru," dressed flamboyantly and exuding arrogance.
Behind her were more than a dozen guards, all armed with sabers, looking menacing.
"How dare you!"
Xiao Yang didn't expect them to come directly to him and said coldly, "This is my territory, since when did a lowly maid have the right to run wild here?!"
"Ninth Young Master?"
Chizuru was also greatly surprised to see Xiao Yang, not expecting him to be in a servant's side room.
Furthermore, she found Xiao Yang very handsome, far surpassing the Fourth Prince she served, and a strange thought arose within her.
At this moment, a short man walked out from the crowd. He was small in stature, with a small mustache above his lip, and a lecherous demeanor.
It was Kato, the one who had injured Zhao Changkong!
"I am a warrior from East Pole Island, and I only obey the Fourth Prince's orders. He told me to search for the stolen Golden Hairpin, and no one can stop me!!!"
If you find this book to your liking, be sure to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Kato was arrogant and forceful, completely disregarding Xiao Yang.
"What are you barking about? This is this Prince's residence. Your trespassing is unforgivable!"
Xiao Yang scowled, then drew a line on the ground with his foot, declaring proudly, "Anyone who dares to cross this line will be executed!!!"
Hearing this, Kato and his guards acted as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world, their faces full of mockery.
In their eyes, although Xiao Yang had luckily defeated the Eldest Prince yesterday, it was because the Eldest Prince had suppressed his cultivation.
And Xiao Yang had most likely used some trick to obtain a treasure from Ning Hongye.
Xiao Yang was merely a First Grade Martial Artist. Without strength, how could he speak of dignity?
"Ninth Young Master, I will search this place today. What can you do about it?!"
Kato charged forward, unleashing the strength of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist. A gust of wind swept through the entire area.
He knew that if he injured Xiao Yang, he would not only avoid punishment but would also be rewarded by the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Zhao Changkong quickly shouted a warning, but unfortunately, he was severely injured and unable to protect him.
"Young Master!"
Huangli was so anxious that she was crying.
"A mere clown, no match for me!"
Xiao Yang's expression remained unchanged as he drew the saber from his waist.
How dare a mere barbarian guard be so presumptuous!
Such an arrogant dog would not be allowed to live to see the next chapter. It was the perfect opportunity to establish his authority with his head!
"Clang!"
A saber strike flashed, blindingly brilliant.
The First Form of the Thunder Prison World Destroying Saber, Heavenly Thunder Flash!
The next moment, Kato froze.
A red line appeared on his neck, followed by a gush of blood, and his head fell, his body crashing to the ground.
Kato's eyes were wide open in death, seemingly unable to comprehend what had happened in that instant.
"You can't even take one of my strikes? My Fourth Brother's guard is too useless!"
At this moment, Xiao Yang said calmly, as if he had just swatted a fly.
"Oh my god!"
"Someone pinch me, is this a hallucination?"
"He killed a Fourth Grade Martial Artist in one strike. Is this still the Ninth Young Master?"
The Fourth Prince's guards were all stunned.
Let alone them, even Zhao Changkong and Huangli were greatly surprised, never expecting their master to be so formidable!
"Guard Zhao, today I will use Kato's head to avenge you!" Xiao Yang said.
"Your Highness..."
Zhao Changkong was deeply moved, tears welling up in his eyes.
A subordinate dies for his confidant!
He felt that following the Ninth Young Master made his life worthwhile!
This is bad!
I've kicked a steel plate today!
This Ninth Young Master looks so handsome, yet he kills people at the slightest disagreement!
Chizuru suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and quietly moved towards the door, intending to slip away.
"Stop right there! Who gave you permission to leave?!"
Xiao Yang's figure flickered, blocking her path, the saber in his hand still dripping with blood.
"Ah!"
Chizuru was instantly terrified, backing away repeatedly, no longer possessing her previous arrogance. "Ninth Young Master, you... what do you want?"
Xiao Yang looked at her coldly and said, "I just want to get an explanation for my maid!"
"You falsely accused Huangli of stealing the Golden Hairpin and slapped her several times!"
"If you want to live, then kneel down and slap yourself a hundred times!"
