Be Ruthless When the Time Calls for It

In truth, Si Tingxuan had already arrived above them when Hua Mengxin stopped and resolved to hold off Dongfang Jiao and his group alone.

He had merely been about to make his move when he saw Wang Shengnan remain behind, her face filled with fear but her eyes unwavering.

Honestly, it had shaken him deeply.

In his previous life, full of fake friendships between so-called sisters, this kind of sisterly bond of life and death was practically nonexistent.

Fine!

He could be more confident and remove the word "practically."

At that moment, Dongfang Jiao and his group stared fixedly at Si Tingxuan, their eyes full of gravity.

This man had actually flown down from the sky.

Now, Dongfang Jiao finally understood where the sword that had wiped out all their attacks had come from.

The sky!

But the prey that had nearly fallen into his hands was about to escape.

Unwilling to accept it, he gathered his courage and said to Si Tingxuan, "You'd better think this through. I'm from the Dongfang Family of Noble Wind City."

"Dongfang? Sorry, but among the people who could make me back down, there isn't a single one with the compound surname Dongfang."

"Pfft."

Hua Mengxin and Wang Shengnan both burst out laughing.

The meaning behind Si Tingxuan's words was simple: Who the hell was the Dongfang Family? He had never even heard of them!

The man before them was using the most polite tone to say the most domineering words. He was far too adorable.

Dongfang Jiao's expression stiffened. He had never expected Si Tingxuan to say something like that.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "You've heard of the Vajra Zhao Family, haven't you? Let me tell you, my older brother Dongfang Ming is about to become engaged to their youngest daughter. So no matter who you are, get out of my way at once."

"The Vajra Zhao Family? The family of Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Wisdom King? That's a family so cowardly it abandoned even its greatest genius. What is there to fear?"

"If Zhao Wuji were still in the Zhao Family, I might be somewhat wary. But he isn't. What does the Zhao Family amount to?"

Zhao Wuji had been used to highlight Tang San and Tang Hao's strength, which made him seem somewhat weak.

But he was truly not weak. Anyone who could successfully break through the encirclement of sixteen Soul Emperors absolutely deserved to be called among the strongest.

He might not have been Invincible at the Same Rank, but among Soul Masters of the same rank, few could rival him.

"Y-you..."

Dongfang Jiao was truly frightened.

Back then, Zhao Wuji had provoked Spirit Hall and was hunted down by sixteen Soul Emperors from Spirit Hall.

The Zhao Family had decisively abandoned him.

This was a loss the Zhao Family could never recover from, as well as its stain and taboo, whether in public or private.

No one dared casually bring it up at the risk of offending the Zhao Family.

Yet this man before him had spoken of it without the slightest hesitation.

Who exactly was he?

"Clop, clop, clop."

At that moment, Hua Wufeng finally caught up in the carriage.

When Hua Mengxin saw him, delight appeared on her face. "Second Grandfather!"

Hua Qingluo also got down from the carriage with a worried expression. "Sister Mengxin, are you all right?"

"Qingluo?"

Hua Mengxin was stunned as well. "I'm fine. Didn't you go to Odd Weapons Academy?"

"It's good that you're all right, Sister Mengxin. We can talk about everything else after we get home!"

After saying that, she immediately ran up to Si Tingxuan. "Thank you, Teacher, for saving my sister."

"Teacher? Qingluo called him Teacher? Then doesn't that mean he's an instructor at Odd Weapons Academy?"

"Such a young instructor?"

Hua Mengxin was initially puzzled, but then her face filled with shock. She had thought of someone.

A man regarded by the geniuses of the entire Baroque Kingdom as a lifelong target to chase.

A man viewed by the entire Baroque Kingdom as a future super genius.

"The Hua Family is saved!"

Hua Mengxin's eyes lit up, and she was so excited she nearly jumped up. Everyone on the continent understood what it meant to call someone Teacher.

From this day onward, Odd Weapons Academy stood behind the Hua Family.

Even the Zhao Family would have to be wary, let alone the Dongfang Family.

Only then did Si Tingxuan turn to look at Dongfang Jiao and his group.

"As men, it's truly shameful for you to gang up on and chase down two women."

His words were calm, yet every sentence revealed his chauvinism.

If she had heard those words anywhere else, and they had not been spoken by Si Tingxuan—

The ever-unyielding Hua Mengxin would definitely have jumped out at once and said, "What, do you look down on women?"

But now, as she looked at the handsome and proud Si Tingxuan—

Only one word remained in her mind: handsome!

Wang Shengnan stood nearby, her eyes glittering with little stars as well.

Naturally, Si Tingxuan noticed the gazes of Hua Mengxin and Wang Shengnan.

He could not help frowning slightly. "Are women usually not right in the head? At a time like this, shouldn't you be teaching Dongfang Jiao's group a brutal lesson? What are you staring at me for?"

He turned and walked toward the carriage, waving his right hand as he went.

His movements were incredibly fast, and even afterimages appeared around his palm.

Fire God Palm!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The afterimages transformed into flaming palms that slammed into the chests of Dongfang Jiao and his group at high speed.

"Pfft."

Dongfang Jiao had already fallen into despair when Hua Wufeng appeared.

He had recognized Hua Wufeng at a glance as the Hua Family's Second Elder, an old man with the strength of a Soul King.

Their entire group was no match for him.

He had been wondering how he could convince Hua Wufeng to spare him.

Then he was struck directly.

He felt as though his entire chest had shattered, and the pain was unbearable.

At the same time, his chest felt scorching hot, as though it were about to be burned to a crisp.

"Pfft."

Immediately afterward, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He collapsed, left with nothing but endless regret.

Why had he gone out of the city today?!

Otherwise, he would still be at home, living well and eating and drinking whatever he pleased!

Why had he harbored ill intentions when he encountered Hua Mengxin?!

Otherwise, he would never have run into this fiend.

"Gasp!"

Hua Qingluo and Long Wu were both utterly shocked. Neither had expected Si Tingxuan to be so decisive and ruthless.

Then Si Tingxuan's voice rang out from inside the carriage. "If others want to kill your loved ones, then kill them back!"

"This is the first lesson your teacher is giving you. When the time calls for ruthlessness, be ruthless."

Long Wu and Hua Qingluo straightened their faces and answered in unison, "Yes, Teacher. We will remember it!"

"Gulp."

Hua Mengxin and Wang Shengnan both swallowed hard.

Only then did they realize that the man who had made their hearts race had another side to him.

It was a little scary!

But so domineering!

Afterward, they looked at Dongfang Jiao and the others lying on the ground, their feelings complicated for a time.

Just moments ago, this group had chased them until there was no escape in heaven or on earth.

And now... they were dead beyond doubt.

Wang Shengnan poked Hua Mengxin with a finger. "Mengxin, just now, he... he didn't release his martial soul or soul rings, and no soul bone appeared outside his body. Yet he used a soul skill like those flaming palms... This...!"

She came from an ordinary background, but Hua Mengxin was different.

Hua Mengxin muttered, "That was a Self-Created Soul Skill. Only those with extraordinary talent can comprehend one."
