First Battle with Xiao Yan

The moment Blood Coagulating Powder appeared, it swallowed up eighty percent of Wutan City's pill market like a violent storm. The Xiao Family's markets were packed to the doors every day, while the Jia Lie Family's markets were deserted and lifeless. Xiao Yan strolled lazily down the street with both hands behind his head.

"Young market master, this is bad. Miss Xun Er was verbally harassed on the outskirts of the market, and Jia Lie Ao brought people there to cause trouble too." Ke Lu rushed up to Xiao Yan, panting heavily as he spoke in broken bursts.

When Xiao Yan heard that, fury surged in his heart, and he hurriedly charged toward the outskirts of the market.

Liu Xi stared hotly at the peerlessly beautiful young woman before him, his eyes filled with lechery. Her long hair fell like a waterfall, her face was exquisitely clear and lovely, and her waist was slender. Jia Lie Jun watched Liu Xi harass Xun Er from the side, his heart full of pity. This idiot could have harassed anyone, yet he just had to harass the precious daughter of the Ancient Clan. He was really courting death.

Xun Er looked at Liu Xi coldly, her eyes brimming with killing intent.

"Girl, don't be so cold. Come on, give your lord a smile. From now on, you can follow this young master, and I guarantee you'll live in luxury." As Liu Xi harassed her with his words, he reached his hand toward Xun Er's face.

"Take away your filthy hand." Just as Liu Xi was about to touch Xun Er's beautiful face, a hand clamped down hard on Liu Xi's hand. With only a slight exertion of force, there was a crack, and the sound of bone breaking rang out.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're here." Xun Er's originally cold expression instantly melted like ice and snow, and she looked at Xiao Yan with a face full of smiles.

"You bastard, you actually dared to break my hand? I'm an alchemist. If you offend me, you're dead." Liu Xi clutched his hand and spoke with a vicious expression.

"Big Brother Liu Xi, this is the famous trash of the Xiao Family, Xiao Yan," Jia Lie Ao said fawningly.

"So he's just a— Kneel and admit your crime, and hand this girl over to me. Maybe I'll spare your life." Liu Xi looked at Xiao Yan disdainfully.

"Pah. A piece of trash first-tier alchemist. Only a waste like you could refine rotten medicine like Rejuvenation Powder."

"Jia Lie Ao, help me beat this bastard to death, then send this girl to my bed. I'll help your Jia Lie Family refine even higher-grade pills to crush the Xiao Family," Liu Xi said, looking half-mad.

When Jia Lie Ao heard that, his heart stirred greatly. He and Xiao Yan had long-standing grudges, and he had wanted to teach him a lesson for ages. Without thinking much, he agreed and was about to make a move at once.

"Big Brother, let me do it. Against a small fry like this, there's no need to trouble you to act." Jia Lie Jun stopped Jia Lie Ao and spoke to prevent him. Moreover, this was also an excellent chance to test the limits of Xun Er's tolerance.

Seeing that Jia Lie Jun was about to act, Xun Er's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao Yan, don't fight Jia Lie Jun."

When Xiao Yan heard that, he was somewhat puzzled. However, he had been in the limelight recently, and Xun Er had been harassed. If he did not regain face, could he, Xiao Yan, still count as a man?

"Xun Er, don't worry. I'll definitely win," Xiao Yan insisted.

Xun Er's face was full of anxiety, and she hurriedly tried to stop him. "Since you, Jia Lie Jun, are fighting in your big brother's place, then how about I fight in Brother Xiao Yan's place?"

"Sure. But will your Brother Xiao Yan agree?" Jia Lie Jun shrugged, utterly unconcerned. If she, Xiao Xun Er, fought, he, Jia Lie Jun, was not afraid in the slightest. At present, Xun Er was only a Dou Zhe, while Jia Lie Jun was already a Dou Shi. Although Xun Er could use a secret technique to forcibly raise her cultivation, would she, Xiao Xun Er, dare expose it in front of Xiao Yan right now?

"Xun Er, don't you trust me?" Xiao Yan said with displeasure on his face. His own woman had been harassed, yet instead of the man stepping forward to help her, he let the woman stand up for herself? Wasn't that slapping Xiao Yan's face? At once, he forcefully pushed away Xun Er, who was blocking him.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the surrounding onlookers quickly scattered, leaving an open space of moderate size.

"Brother Xiao Yan, please enlighten me." Jia Lie Jun cupped his fists in salute.

"I wouldn't dare call it enlightenment, but don't blame me if I'm too heavy-handed later." Xiao Yan had just lost face because of Xun Er, and irritation filled his heart with nowhere to vent. Seeing Jia Lie Jun come forward to be his punching bag, it was perfect for letting off steam.

After saying that, he stomped hard against the ground with both feet, gripped the iron rod tightly in his hand, and shot straight toward Jia Lie Jun. Seeing Xiao Yan attack, Jia Lie Jun smiled faintly. Azure Dou Qi swiftly condensed over his palms, forming a thin layer of Dou Qi gloves. The iron rod whipped hard toward Jia Lie Jun's face, letting out a whistling sound. Jia Lie Jun raised one hand horizontally before him and clenched it hard, catching the iron rod without the slightest injury. His palm exerted force, and with a fierce tug, the iron rod immediately broke free from Xiao Yan's control. After seizing the iron rod, Jia Lie Jun casually threw it away, and the entire rod actually sank into the ground.

Xiao Yan was greatly shocked. He had not expected Jia Lie Jun, who had always been obscure in the Jia Lie Family before this, to be so powerful. Xun Er, watching the battle, grew secretly anxious. Two golden flames appeared in her pupils, and the Dou Qi inside her body stirred restlessly. If things really don't work out later, I'll have no choice but to forcefully intervene and save Brother Xiao Yan.

When did Second Brother become so strong? Jia Lie Ao's heart was full of doubt, but seeing Xiao Yan being taught a lesson still made him very happy.

"Good, well hit! Kill this bastard for me!" Liu Xi shouted madly.

Seeing Jia Lie Jun neutralize his attack so casually, Xiao Yan immediately raised his vigilance to the highest level. The Dou Qi throughout his body circulated, and an even stronger fluctuation of Dou Qi spread out.

"Three-star Dou Zhe." Xiao Yu sensed the Dou Qi fluctuation emanating from Xiao Yan, and her face was covered with surprise. Jia Lie Ao's expression, however, turned extremely ugly. He had not expected that this trash Xiao Yan actually had the same cultivation as him.

Xiao Yan turned back, stomped hard against the wall with both feet, and borrowed the powerful recoil to spin sharply in midair, his right foot curling into a strange arc. Seeing Xiao Yan shoot over like a cannonball, Jia Lie Jun clenched both fists tightly. Dou Qi gathered rapidly, forming vortexes over the surface of his fists. He stomped hard against the ground with both feet and rushed straight toward Xiao Yan.

Eight Extremes Collapse

Azure Wind Vortex Fist

Bang! Fist and foot collided, and a thunderous boom spread out from the point of impact like a clap of thunder. Immediately afterward, there was a crack, and the sound of bone breaking rang out. Xiao Yan's body shot backward and slammed heavily into the wall. His foot had also been broken, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious. Jia Lie Jun pressed his advantage, showing no sign of stopping. One palm formed a claw while the other hand clenched into a fist, and a fierce suction force violently dragged the fallen Xiao Yan toward him.

"Jia Lie brat, don't you dare harm my child!" A furious shout came from behind him. Jia Lie Jun immediately turned around and punched out. Their fists collided, and Jia Lie Jun's figure retreated rapidly, while Xiao Zhan stood in place without budging at all.

"Jia Lie brat, you're so vicious at such a young age. Today, I'll properly teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders." Xiao Zhan's face was full of anger.

"Pah. You old bastard, you think you're worthy?" Jia Lie Jun spat out the blood in his mouth and sneered disdainfully.

Lion Mountain Split.

"Xiao Zhan, you've really lived all these years like a dog. You actually attacked a junior." Just as Jia Lie Jun was preparing to mobilize his Spiritual Power to save himself, an angry roar sounded, and a figure swiftly appeared in front of Jia Lie Jun, blocking the attack.

People really were all hypocrites! Jia Lie Jun snorted coldly in his heart. In the original work, when Jia Lie Bi made a move against Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan cursed Jia Lie Bi for being shameless and attacking a junior. But now, Xiao Zhan himself had attacked a junior as well. He was truly shameless. In his previous life, when he read the book, he had thought Xiao Zhan was an honest and upright man, a good father. He had not expected him to be such a shameless petty man too. Thinking about it now, it was mainly because, when he read the book, he had inserted himself into the protagonist's perspective and regarded anyone who opposed the protagonist as a villain. But did that mean those who opposed the protagonist and stood up for their own children were not good fathers? What righteous side, what villainous side? It was all bullshit. They merely stood on different sides. To his Jia Lie Family, the Xiao Family was the great villain.
