With a hissing sound, blood splattered, a head fell to the ground, and even the soul was shattered by Xiao Yan.
However, in the blink of an eye, before anyone present could recover from the shock, even the four Dou Di experts beside Xiao Yan were still reeling from the words spoken a moment earlier, Master Jin was already decapitated and beyond dead.
Then, when everyone came to their senses, their expressions instantly turned to shock. Probably no one present would have imagined that, knowing that Master Jin's identity was related to the ship's repair, Xiao Yan would still dare to kill him. Didn't this directly confirm what Master Jin had just said: that killing him would inevitably make Xiao Yan the target of everyone's hatred?
Such a crazy act is truly hard to imagine; it's hard to believe he would still insist on killing someone.
"Has this kid gone mad?!"
Beside him, the old man in yellow robes who had spoken earlier was also looking at Xiao Yan, who was standing right in front of him, with an incredulous expression. He simply couldn't believe that the latter had actually killed Master Jin, and that it was after he had warned him beforehand.
"Boy, Jin Lun is indeed a bit arrogant, but what Deacon Huang said earlier is also true. If he dies, the ship's repairs will definitely be delayed again, and we can't afford to wait that long. Are you going to take responsibility for us?"
"Sir, what you've done is indeed what we've always wanted to do, but Deacon Huang is right. By killing him now, you're essentially delaying the plans of so many of us. Sir, you can't afford to take that responsibility."
Soon, discontented murmurs arose from the crowd. Everyone present was talking animatedly, and angry gazes were all fixed on Xiao Yan. With Master Jin dead, the ship's repairs would definitely be affected. These people had been waiting in the city for days or even weeks, and now they were being affected again because of Xiao Yan. It was no wonder that they were directing their anger at Xiao Yan.
Subsequently, the four Dou Di powerhouses beside Xiao Yan also looked at him with somber expressions. The delay in ship repairs was not only a loss for these pedestrians, but also a huge loss of profit for Dragon Marsh Workshop. Therefore, Xiao Yan's actions not only affected these pedestrians, but also Dragon Marsh Workshop.
"Sir, please come with us to Dragon Marsh Workshop to meet with the chairman and explain this matter clearly."
With a low voice, Huang Quan raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder. Now that Master Jin was dead, he couldn't let this black-robed youth escape for any reason.
"Is this how you hire people at Dragon Marsh Workshop?"
The moment Huang Quan made his move, Xiao Yan frowned, then let out a cold snort. His body trembled, and a powerful aura surged outwards. The immense power forced the four people around him back several steps, and a look of shock immediately appeared on their faces. They never expected that the black-robed youth in front of them would have such formidable strength.
"Let's attack together! We can't let him continue like this!"
The four exchanged glances, then stomped their feet on the ground in unison, shooting forward and appearing beside Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. Each of them reached out and grabbed at Xiao Yan's body.
Four Seven-Star Dou Di would indeed be considered a formidable force under normal circumstances, but in front of Xiao Yan at this moment, they are still far inferior.
"You guys are really getting excited!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze swept quickly over the four men. With a flick of his sleeve, Dou Qi condensed, and his soft sleeves instantly became as hard as steel. At the same time, he struck the two old men in the chest with lightning speed. The force was not enough to seriously injure them, but it was enough to send them flying.
"Bang! Bang!"
The moment the deep thud sounded, Huang Quan and the other old man were also hit again. The speed of the four Seven-Star Dou Di was so inadequate in front of Xiao Yan. In the blink of an eye, all four of them had been defeated by Xiao Yan.
"Hmph, that guy had only himself to blame. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xiao Yan's cold gaze swept over the four people who were getting up from the ground in a disheveled state. He still stood with his hands behind his back, but the aura emanating from his body was not to be underestimated.
Shocked by Xiao Yan's display of power, the four elders were deeply shaken, but dared not make any further moves. They still vividly remembered the fate of Master Jin. Helpless, they could only lament inwardly that Master Jin, who was used to being domineering, had not only harmed himself but also implicated Dragon Marsh Workshop.
As for the passersby around them, although they harbored resentment towards Xiao Yan for killing Master Jin, they were also filled with fear after witnessing the terrifying strength Xiao Yan displayed, and dared not make any rash moves.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan, who was standing on the street, suddenly turned around, his brows furrowed, and his eyes, filled with eerie white flames, looked behind him once again.
A golden-robed figure stood abruptly in the sky, his immense soul pressure descending upon the city. The terrifying aura caused everyone in the city to change color, except for Xiao Yan, whose face showed a hint of helplessness.
The successive arrivals of the other party had exhausted his already dwindling patience. If this person was still so ungrateful and intended to continue attacking, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson. With Xiao Yan's current strength, as long as the other party wasn't a Origin Transformation Realm expert, even if he was Nine-Star Dou Di, Xiao Yan wouldn't be afraid at all. And this person's strength was only at the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di.
"It's actually the owner of Dragon Marsh Workshop!"
"Hey, with Master Jin dead, the ship's repair speed has been affected, and the workshop master is naturally getting restless. It seems someone has already reported this to him."
"The sect leader is a powerful expert who advanced to the Nine-Star Dou Di years ago. This kid dares to mess with the people of Dragon Marsh Workshop after killing Master Jin. He's probably going to get himself into trouble!"
When some pedestrians saw the golden-robed figure, exclamations of surprise immediately rang out around the street. At the same time, the golden-robed figure's gaze fell on Xiao Yan below.
"Young friend, is it you who killed Master Jin?"
His calm words contained both surprise and helplessness. He had long anticipated Master Jin's fate, but he never expected it to happen at such a time. What surprised him even more was that the person who killed Master Jin was just a young upstart.
"It's me, and who are you?"
Xiao Yan replied calmly, then asked in a low voice.
"My name is Liu Jin, the owner of Dragon Marsh Workshop... You killed Master Jin, which is no small matter. Therefore, I hope that you can give Dragon Marsh Workshop and all the boat passengers in the city an explanation for this matter."
As he descended, Liu Jin's gaze settled on the latter, glancing at Huang Quan Huang Quan and his group of four. This was truly unbelievable.
