This System Is Toxic (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Two young men stepped out from the crowd. One was around twenty years old and rather handsome, though his complexion was somewhat pale, and he bore two peculiar marks on his face.

It was those two marks that made Xiao Meng want to laugh, because they were his handiwork. This man was Jia Lie Ao, whom he had beaten before.

The other was a young man dressed in white, pale-faced and thin as a bamboo pole. One look was enough to tell that he had indulged himself far too much.

This had to be that lecher Liu Xi.

"Kid, what did you just say?" Jia Lie Ao flew into a rage, his eyes glinting coldly. The two strange marks on his face had drawn countless odd looks over the past few days, and he hated them to the core.

He had invited Liu Xi, a first-tier alchemist, yet even Liu Xi had been unable to cure him. Those two marks seemed cursed; they simply would not heal.

"I said you ugly little bastard. What, are you deaf?"

Xiao Meng stopped smiling and said coldly, "What the fuck does my Xiao Clan's business have to do with an ugly freak that even gods and ghosts despise? Aren't you just begging to be cursed at by sticking your nose in?"

"Heh, that idiot Jia Lie Ao actually dared to make trouble for Third Young Master. He's practically courting death."

"Exactly. Forget him—even if his father came, he'd probably have to crawl back on his knees."

"That little bastard used to bully plenty of Xiao Clan disciples. Today, he's kicked an iron plate forged from divine steel. He's in for a rough time."

Behind Xiao Meng, the guards whispered among themselves as they looked at Jia Lie Ao with glee.

"Well, well, is this a bamboo pole? You actually look pretty human. Now that you're wearing clothes... you look even more like one," Xiao Meng mocked after cursing Jia Lie Ao, turning his gaze toward Liu Xi.

"Snort!"

Quite a few people failed to hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Who is he?" Liu Xi's gaze immediately turned vicious as he looked at Jia Lie Ao.

In this tiny Wutan City, someone actually dared to mock him so openly. He would definitely make that man pay.

Jia Lie Ao sneered. "Judging by what they called that little bastard, he should be the Xiao Clan's ultimate trash, Xiao Meng. He still hasn't cultivated a trace of Dou Qi."

"So he's trash. Then you can kill him yourself," Liu Xi said coldly.

"Where the fuck did this skinny bamboo pole come from? Why's he croaking like a toad with such a big mouth? Watch out, acting tough might get you struck by lightning." The moment Liu Xi said he wanted to kill Xiao Meng, Pain could not help standing up. As someone Xiao Zhan trusted, he naturally could not tolerate such words.

"Boss, this bastard is obviously no good. Why don't we just kill him?"

"And that little bastard Jia Lie Ao only looks decent enough. Does he really think he's somebody? Should we chop him into minced meat too and send it back to the Gale Clan?"

The other guards stepped forward as well, killing intent surging around them.

Xiao Meng: "..."

He felt that these guards were even more arrogant than he was.

"Heh. You want to kill me? Are old pieces of trash like you even worthy?" Liu Xi stepped forward, the aura of a six-star Dou Zhe rolling forth.

Pain's expression changed. He himself was only a six-star Dou Zhe. Although the young man before him was several years younger, and clearly overindulgent, his strength was no weaker than Pain's—perhaps even stronger.

"You ugly ghost-faced freak, do you think I'm afraid of you?" One could lose a fight but not one's bearing. Besides, there was a monster standing nearby who was stronger than even the Xiao Clan head. Did Pain need to be afraid?

"Today, I will let you taste death," Liu Xi said with a ferocious expression, fire blazing in his eyes as killing intent spilled forth.

"Brother Liu Xi, leave this little trash to me. Killing him might bring some trouble, but I'll make him wish he were dead." Jia Lie Ao stared coldly at Xiao Meng, a bloodthirsty smile curling across his lips.

"This idiot courting death..."

Hearing Jia Lie Ao's words, Pain and the others twitched violently and could not help wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"This kid is even better at courting death than that brother lying on the ground. He's practically the emperor of courting death," one guard muttered.

"Fuck, even Elder Ge Ye of the Cloudmist Sect didn't dare to test Third Young Master's strength, but this guy actually..."

Pain and the others admired Jia Lie Ao from the bottom of their hearts. It was as though they were watching an ant tell a dragon, "I'm going to eat you."

His courage was truly commendable!

Xiao Meng was utterly speechless at this king of pretenders. If the system had not forbidden him from killing Jia Lie Ao, he truly wanted to twist off his head and use it as a ball.

"That dog Jia Lie Ao is clearly taking advantage of my kind and merciful nature." Xiao Meng really wanted to go against the system for once, but he was genuinely afraid of getting struck by lightning.

Jia Lie Ao and Liu Xi noticed that Pain and the others were looking at them strangely, seemingly mocking their overestimation of themselves—and it did not seem fake.

The two of them immediately sized Xiao Meng up. Yet with their strength, how could they possibly see through him? In their eyes, Xiao Meng was still trash who had not cultivated any Dou Qi.

"I, Liu Xi, will remember the Xiao Clan. Today, I'll deal with you lot first. I'll slowly clean up the rest another day." Liu Xi smiled sinisterly. He greatly disliked the way Pain and the others looked at him.

Xiao Meng's face instantly turned icy at those words. He had developed killing intent.

"Heh, little bastard, your foolish actions will drag your Xiao Clan into an abyss of eternal damnation." Hearing Liu Xi's words, Jia Lie Ao's face filled with delight. He knew full well how much weight Liu Xi's words carried, and he was more than happy to see such an outcome.

"I hadn't planned on killing you, but now I've changed my mind. You must die today." Xiao Meng expressionlessly raised a finger at Liu Xi, killing intent rolling through his voice.

"Hahaha! Trash like you wants to kill me? Are you dreaming in broad daylight?" Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"This brat must be an idiot. He's gone completely insane," Jia Lie Ao chimed in.

Yet Pain and the others shuddered inwardly and looked at Liu Xi with pity. This ugly bastard was probably doomed today.

"Brother Liu Xi, watch my back. Let me teach this brat a lesson first." Jia Lie Ao laughed loudly as Dou Qi rapidly gathered in his palm. His hand suddenly curled into a claw, and faint green Dou Qi condensed at his fingertips into ten sharp spikes. With a savage grin, he swung his claw, creating a piercing whistle as it viciously clawed toward Xiao Meng.

Jia Lie Ao's attack seemed to come from all directions, leaving no place to hide and no way to escape.

"He's only an ant. Did he really need to use a combat technique?" Liu Xi shook his head, thinking Jia Lie Ao was making a mountain out of a molehill.

But in the next second, the smile on his face froze completely.

Swoosh—

Xiao Meng suddenly moved like an arrow released from a bow, then slapped Jia Lie Ao across the face. Jia Lie Ao immediately vomited blood and flew backward, crashing down more than ten meters away. He coughed up blood repeatedly as his body convulsed.

Jia Lie Ao's face was filled with terror, but he could not utter a word.

The surroundings abruptly fell deathly silent.

Liu Xi stood there in shock, his mind blank and unable to react. Wasn't Xiao Meng supposed to be trash? If he could slap a four-star Dou Zhe like Jia Lie Ao flying, how was that trash?

"Anyone who dares provoke Third Young Master—ten thousand Jia Lie Aos still wouldn't be enough." Pain and the others were not surprised in the slightest. Instead, they felt their young master had gone easy on him.

Liu Xi's expression darkened to the extreme. Staring fixedly at Xiao Meng, he said coldly, "I never expected you to have hidden your strength and fooled everyone."

His face filled with killing intent as he continued, "The Gale Clan doesn't dare kill you, but I do."

Although Xiao Meng had sent Jia Lie Ao flying with one palm strike and displayed extraordinary strength, Liu Xi still did not take him seriously. First, Jia Lie Ao had been careless and had not used his full strength. Second, Liu Xi was two levels above him. He refused to believe that someone Xiao Meng's age could have reached six-star Dou Zhe.

"Die, brat!"

Liu Xi attacked with all his strength, chopping a palm toward Xiao Meng's head.

"What arrogance. To Third Young Master, even a Dou Shi is nothing but an ant, much less a mere Dou Zhe. Third Young Master could crush him to death with one finger," Pain and the others said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Xiao Meng could not help feeling a pain in the balls. Without using the AK-47, his strength was only around that of a six- or seven-star Dou Zhe. If he had not been so clear-headed, he might really have gotten carried away and thought himself a Dou Di.

Bang!

When Liu Xi was still three or four meters away, Xiao Meng flashed forward and threw a straight punch.

The result!

Liu Xi flew backward like a kite with its string cut and slammed heavily onto the bluestone pavement more than ten meters away, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

His head tilted to one side.

Then, with a bang, it struck the ground.

A six-star Dou Zhe had died just like that.

Xiao Meng's punch had directly pulverized his internal organs.

Heaven and earth fell silent; even a needle dropping could be heard.

"He really killed him?" Everyone was horrified, with only that one thought in their minds. Even Pain and the others were no exception. Before anyone died, they all thought Liu Xi and Jia Lie Ao were courting death.

But when someone truly died, their scalps still went numb.

They looked at Xiao Meng with even greater reverence—and, more than that, fear.

Because when this Third Young Master said he would kill someone, he meant it. He was absolutely not joking.

Ding! Hidden mission completed. Reward: two fishing attempts.
[Eliminating Liu Xi will bring his master's frenzied retaliation against the Xiao Clan.]

Xiao Meng's expression stiffened at first, then his face turned black in an instant.

At that moment, Xiao Meng finally understood completely: this system was toxic!

And lethally so.
