"How was he here?"
Wang Sheng was shocked and thoroughly confused, but more than anything, he was overjoyed. With Elder Xiong here, the situation had turned around in an instant.
Afterward, he glanced at the severed arm on the ground and could not help complaining, "That guy was truly unlucky. He actually ran into Elder Xiong's Bear King Protection twice. What a walking tragedy!"
"Ha ha ha! This time, we're not the ones who are finished!"
City Lord Huang had already been prepared to fight to the death, but when he saw Elder Xiong domineeringly kill a Spirit Douluo the moment he appeared, he finally threw back his head and laughed in relief.
In contrast, City Lord Li, the Spirit Emperor, and the Spirit King across from them looked awful.
The situation had changed far too quickly!
"Run!"
They were not fools. They no longer had any hope of winning. If they stayed, they would only be waiting to die.
City Lord Li in particular had his entire family in Wind City. He had to return before anyone else so he could lead his clansmen out of Wind City.
"Isn't it a little late to think about leaving now?"
A low, domineering voice rang out behind them. They abruptly turned around and discovered that the terrifying old man who had killed a Spirit Douluo in a single strike was somehow already standing behind them.
He had blocked their path.
"Gasp..."
"Gulp..."
City Lord Li's group collectively swallowed, then involuntarily retreated several steps.
Even Xue Yue and City Lord Huang looked wary. Elder Xiong's displayed strength was simply too terrifying.
Although he had killed one of their enemies' Spirit Douluos, no one knew who he was!
Seeing how tense everyone was, Wang Sheng, who lay in Meier's arms, said, "It's fine. He's one of us."
Everyone froze for a moment, then smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
City Lord Huang was first stunned, then delighted. "One of us?"
"You dared to hurt my Young Master. You deserve to die!" The instant Elder Xiong saw Wang Sheng's injuries, his rage erupted.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Bang, bang, bang...!
The difference in strength was simply too great. In his fury, Elder Xiong was not someone these Spirit Emperors and Spirit Kings could withstand.
After just several successive collision sounds, they were all lying on the ground. Elder Xiong had not even used a soul skill.
"Gulp..."
City Lord Huang's smiling face instantly stiffened. He was truly shaken, and he muttered, "Could this be a Title Douluo?"
"Mm, mm, mm!"
Wu Xiaodong and Wu Xiao'ai, standing nearby, immediately nodded again and again. They felt exactly the same way.
Wu Xiaodong especially had Elder Xiong's power deeply etched into his heart at that moment. The word "idol" was born in his mind.
One day, I'll have to possess such majesty too. That's damn cool. This is what a real man looks like!
"Fourth Young Master, you certainly made me search hard!"
After dealing with those blind fools, Elder Xiong slowly walked toward Wang Sheng.
Although they knew Elder Xiong was not an enemy, Mei Hu and the others still could not help feeling nervous.
Seeing Mei Hu's adorably nervous expression, Wang Sheng took her hand and comforted her. "It's fine. Elder Xiong is an elder of my clan."
"Hmm?"
When Elder Xiong saw the little movement between Wang Sheng and Mei Hu, he paused. Then he carefully examined Mei Hu before finally laughing. "Heh heh, not bad, not bad. You two are quite well matched."
Whoosh...
Mei Hu's little face immediately turned bright red. Yet she did not pull her hand from Wang Sheng's grasp and continued letting him hold it. Anyone with eyes could see what she was thinking.
However, Wang Sheng had been a martial arts fanatic in his previous life and was extremely slow when it came to feelings.
He merely said helplessly, "Elder Xiong, Mei Hu is my younger sister."
"Younger sister?"
"Oh... younger sister!"
Elder Xiong was first surprised, then wore an expression that said he understood!
Wang Sheng was left speechless by the sight. Mei Hu's face grew even redder at Elder Xiong's peculiar tone, and her appearance was so adorable that Wang Sheng could not help pinching her cheeks a few times. [Don't call it affection, you're pinching her. Is it because you were single your entire previous life?]
Seeing Elder Xiong completely shed his earlier forceful, domineering manner and become a kind elder at home, everyone else also relaxed.
Especially when they saw Wang Sheng and Mei Hu, they could not help laughing as well!
Elder Xiong bent down and carefully checked Wang Sheng's injuries. When he found that they were not serious, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
At the same time, he looked at Wang Sheng teasingly. "Shouldn't you explain a few things? You should know that when I first saw you, you gave me quite a fright!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest. "Luckily, this old man's heart is strong enough. Otherwise, you might truly have scared me half to death."
"Cough, cough... Well, Elder Xiong, why are you here?"
Wang Sheng understood that Elder Xiong was referring to his martial spirit. After all, within the clan, he had only revealed the Earth Explosive Bear Spirit.
After coughing a few times, he glanced behind him and changed the subject, asking the question in his heart at the same time.
Elder Xiong was an astute old man and immediately understood. This truly was not an appropriate setting to discuss such matters.
He promptly followed Wang Sheng's lead and explained, "After I discovered that you had disappeared, I followed the blood trail. I found that the person who attacked you had actually entered the Ji Family estate."
"But I never managed to find you. I thought that even if I could not find you, I still had to vent your anger, so I waited outside their door for that fellow to come out. I never expected that just as I found a chance to kill him, I would discover you. There was also another group of people. Then I saw that Old Man Mirror's clothes matched the ones you were wearing, so I joined forces with him to ambush that man again."
Upon hearing Wang Sheng and Elder Xiong's conversation, City Lord Huang's side tactfully moved away. Their words had already touched upon Wang Sheng's private affairs, and it truly was not suitable for outsiders like them to listen.
At almost the same time, Xue Yue wanted to take Wu Xiaodong and Wu Xiao'ai away, but Wang Sheng stopped her.
Wang Sheng sighed. "Sigh... You know?"
"Sigh!" Elder Xiong sighed as well. "I know. So I can understand why you left without saying goodbye, but Xiaohai..."
He did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear. Even if Wang Sheng wanted to leave, there had been no need to kill someone from his own clan!
This was also what Elder Xiong did not understand. Now that he thought about it, Xiaohai's injuries had clearly been inflicted by Wang Sheng.
"He was that vicious woman's final trump card."
Elder Xiong's expression changed again and again before he cursed under his breath. "Damn it! That woman was truly too sinister."
Wang Sheng and Elder Xiong both fell silent.
"Um, Senior, could you help our Vice Dean?" Seeing that the two had mostly finished talking, Xue Yue pointed at the Vice Dean and Daoist Xiao, who were still fighting fiercely.
"Ha ha ha! Don't worry! If Old Man Mirror can't even handle that fellow, then he isn't the Old Man Mirror I know."
