Severing His Hamstrings, an Eye for an Eye

She noticed Xiao Yan's undisguised gaze.

Mu Zhan grinned nervously and said, "You bastard, how dare you look at me like that? Tell me, should I take your Achilles tendons out first?"

"Tear the Achilles tendon?" Xiao Yan repeated to himself, nodding.

Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Mu Zhan assumed Xiao Yan had agreed and laughed unexpectedly, "Hehehe, you agreed? That's great! Now that I've crippled you, Father can't say anything to me."

Xiao Yan ignored him and instead looked at the several Mittal Auction House security guards behind him, who looked quite troubled.

The strength of a peak Wood Combat Master is nothing special, but the Wood family's power is not much less than that of the Mittel family, so the security guards are in a dilemma and don't know what to do.

"Da Dou Shi is more than enough to defeat a Peak Dou Master," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

He took out a pill from his Storage Ring, held it up to the group of security guards, and said, "Sever this beast's Achilles tendons, and you can take this Tier 4 Medicinal Pill."

A deep voice echoed in the reception room.

Mu Zhan's smile froze.

The breathing of the auction house security guards suddenly quickened.

The value of a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill is self-evident.

only...

Several security guards glanced at Mu Zhan, still somewhat hesitant.

Did they sever Mu Zhan's Achilles tendon? This is the young master of the Mu Clan.

Even with Middlesbrough's auction house protecting them, they will definitely face a lot of trouble.

However, in the end, desire triumphed over fear. An auction house security guard entered the reception room, pushed aside Mu Zhan, and respectfully asked Xiao Yan, "Are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Yan chuckled, toying with the pill in his hand, and added, "Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, Peak Fourth-Grade Pill. At the Da Dou Shi stage, it can instantly raise One-Star of cultivation."

Glug--

The sound of swallowing saliva rose in unison.

The only security guard who came in to question Xiao Yan instantly beamed with joy.

The other security guards outside were also eager to try, quite interested.

Tier 4 Medicinal Pill that can enhance cultivation is several times more valuable than Tier 4 Medicinal Pill that can heal injuries.

They initially thought it was just an ordinary healing pill, but who would have thought it would be the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill that could directly boost cultivation?

Driven by a sudden, insatiable desire, they all turned their gaze toward Mu Zhan's... Achilles tendon.

"I'll go!" a security guard announced, rushing forward instantly, displaying his mastery of the Grand Master's cultivation.

The other security guards cursed under their breath, "Damn it, he beat us to it," and then rushed toward Mu Zhan as well.

Mu Zhan never expected the situation to reverse so quickly. His expression panicked, he shouted, "Think carefully about who I am! Do you think you'll have a good ending if you dare to attack me?"

The security guards scoffed, letting out a chorus of cold laughs. "You were the one who caused trouble at the Mittal Auction House first, disturbing our distinguished guests. We were simply acting within our rights."

"It was just a bit too harsh, but we will deal with it fairly afterwards."

Xiao Yan smiled and casually took out a few more pills from his Storage Ring.

"The first person to sever his Achilles tendon takes the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, and the rest each receive a Tier 3 Medicinal Pill."

Upon hearing this, several security guards' eyes turned red.

Humans are naturally inclined to conform, and when reason prevails, they act together, completely casting aside any hesitation in their hearts.

They all unleashed their Dou Qi and launched a fierce attack on Mu Zhan.

With numerous Da Dou Shi surrounding Mu Zhan, a Peak Dou Master, even though Mu Zhan fought in the army and his combat ability was no less than that of an ordinary Da Dou Shi, he was immediately in danger, struggling to defend against the attacks that were constantly targeting his Achilles tendons.

Xiao Yan watched the fight unfolding in the conference room and nodded slightly.

It would be somewhat shameful for him to even attempt Mu Zhan.

Trading a few useless pills for a good show is entirely worthwhile.

Of course, his current wealth isn't solely for venting his anger or teaching that beast Mu Zhan a lesson.

Establishing a persona of a wealthy tycoon will be beneficial to his future plans regarding the Mu Clan.

He had no intention of letting the Mu Xiao Clan off the hook, even though they dared to attack the Mu Clan.

The fact that Mu Zhan came knocking was just an unexpected little incident.

Several Da Dou Shi besieged a Peak Dou Master; the battle lasted less than a minute.

Mu Zhan was pinned to the ground, his arms handcuffed behind his back, and a security guard pressed his neck down with his knee, rendering him completely immobile.

As for his Achilles tendon, it had already been taken by a security guard during the melee.

Coincidentally, the security guard who removed Mu Zhan's Achilles tendon was the same one who was the first to question Xiao Yan.

He carried Mu Zhan's bloodied tendon to Xiao Yan and handed it over as if to claim credit.

Xiao Yan glanced at it disdainfully, snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames burned Mu Zhan's Achilles tendons to ashes.

The security guards in the conference room gasped at the sight.

Real fire?!

So, the person in front of them is a Dou Ling powerhouse?

No, definitely not only!

They realized that the person who could casually take out the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill and several Tier 3 Medicinal Pill was definitely not just Dou Ling; they might be a higher-level Dou Wang, or even... Dou Emperor!

The security guards all thought to themselves, "No wonder."

No wonder they dared to disregard Mu Zhan and the Mu Clan, and even dared to tell them to sever Mu Zhan's Achilles tendons.

Seeing this reaction, Xiao Yan felt a little pleased and casually tossed the pills to the guards without any reluctance.

"Thank you for the generous reward, esteemed guest!" the guards said in unison.

Xiao Yan nodded, then looked at Mu Zhan lying on the ground.

At this point, Mu Zhan had completely lost his initial arrogance.

He lay on the ground like a dead dog, his mouth crooked from being beaten, drool dripping from his mouth, and the tendons in both of his feet were pulled out, turning a bright red.

The only thing that remained unchanged was his neurotic gaze.

"Mentally challenged." Xiao Yan stated his truest thoughts about Mu Zhan without any insult.

"The Mu Clan... will... not... spare... you!" Mu Zhan, completely oblivious to the situation, continued his threats.

Xiao Yan shook his head, feeling somewhat bored. Just as he was about to order someone to take Mu Zhan away, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching.

He looked towards the outside of the meeting room.

Led by a member of the Mu Clan who Mittal Auction House, an imposing old man with a fierce expression slowly appeared.

"Lord Mu Chen, this is it! Young Master Mu Zhan went in and we heard screams!"

Mu Chen, one of the Ten Great Experts of the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Wang expert, and the pillar of the Mu Clan.

Mu Chen walked in and immediately saw Mu Zhan's miserable state; his eyes instantly turned fierce.

He clenched his fists angrily, looking at Xiao Yan and the security guards who had some blood on their clothes.

"I will make you pay the price!" Mu Chen said in a deep, angry voice.

Less than a second after Mu Chen finished speaking, a chilling voice rang out. "Old man Mu, you have the guts to bully the weak, do you dare to try and fight me?"

Hai Bodong emerged, his icy Dou Qi chilling to the bone.
