Xiao Chen: If You Refuse to Accept It, You Can Fight Me!

"If the sixth prince insists on forcing his way through the front gate, then don't blame us for being discourteous."

As Steward Qiu spoke, his eyes filled with deep contempt.

In his eyes, Xiao Chen was nothing more than a concubine's son.

People had feared him before only because the boy had entered the Dao-Seeking Academy.

But now, who in the entire Liang Kingdom didn't know that Xiao Chen had long since become a cripple?

If his mother hadn't gone to the Dao-Seeking Academy and begged desperately, the academy would never have sent Xiao Chen to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, where he couldn't cultivate.

If Xiao Chen obediently accepted his fate and worked as a menial at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, they naturally wouldn't go to the Dao-Seeking Academy to make trouble.

But now Xiao Chen had actually come running back to Prince Ding's Estate. Wasn't he handing them an opportunity?

How could Liu Yue'er bear to watch the man she loved being humiliated like this? She immediately spoke up, angrily rebuking them.

"Such big words! Do you have any idea that my senior brother Xiao is-"

"Junior Sister Liu."

Xiao Chen cut Liu Yue'er off. He had returned this time to prove himself to the entire Liang Kingdom through his own strength.

He would never let anyone interfere in his family affairs.

"Leave this to me. You don't need to say anything more."

"Yes, senior brother."

Liu Yue'er said no more.

When Steward Qiu heard the words "junior sister," he was somewhat wary of Liu Yue'er's identity.

But Xiao Chen was a menial, so anyone he knew was surely a menial too.

He had brought her along only to intimidate them with her status as a student of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Unfortunately for him, everyone already knew Xiao Chen's situation at the Dao-Seeking Academy.

There was no way he could use that status to bluff them.

He gestured to the others, and the people who had backed away surrounded them once more.

Even the estate guards came out with them.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen said calmly, "In that case, don't blame me for not warning you. The sword in my hand can kill without leaving a trace."

Steward Qiu was delighted to hear this. "Sixth prince, do you really think your secret is airtight? We've known all about it for a long time.

"Men, seize this unruly sixth prince and take him to the inner residence for the princess consort to deal with."

"Yes!"

After answering, the crowd drew their weapons.

Clang!

Seeing them draw their weapons, Xiao Chen wasted no more words and drew his sword.

A flash of sword light swept past, and the guards and servants surrounding him all froze where they stood.

Immediately afterward, they toppled to the ground one by one like wooden stakes, scattered every which way.

Xiao Chen did not kill Steward Qiu. He merely looked at him coldly and asked, "Does anyone still want to stop me?"

Steward Qiu was already scared witless. Among the estate guards were cultivators at the Dao Foundation Realm.

Yet Xiao Chen had slain them all with a single strike. That could only mean his cultivation had been restored.

It's over. I'm utterly finished!

Just as he was about to speak, an angry shout suddenly rang out from the sky.

"How dare you, villain! You dare attack people at the gates of Prince Ding's Estate? Die!"

As the words rang out,

A streak of sword light descended from the sky. Xiao Chen turned and was about to strike, but after seeing who had come, he lightly pointed a finger at the sword and instantly dispelled the Sword Qi.

In the sky,

The heir apparent, Xiao Shili, stared in astonishment at the young man on the ground. As he looked at the young man who bore some resemblance to him, his face turned alternately green and purple.

Today, he had specifically brought an elder and a senior brother from his sect to visit his home.

His purpose was to have the elder take his youngest brother as a disciple.

He had never expected that, as soon as he arrived at his gates,

He would see a killer strike down his servants and guards.

What he found hardest to accept was that the other party was clearly younger than him, yet had a higher cultivation.

He simply could not accept it.

"Junior Brother Shili, it seems this villain has some ability. Let me suppress this fiend for you."

A graceful man stepped forward with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Shili hurriedly stepped aside and said respectfully, "Sorry for the trouble, Senior Brother Zhao."

The man nodded and looked down at Xiao Chen from above.

"Young man, remember that the one who killed you is from the Supreme Purity Sword Sect-"

"If you don't want to die, get lost. I have no interest in hearing a weakling's name."

Xiao Chen cut him off, giving him no chance whatsoever to announce his name.

"Arrogant!"

Senior Brother Zhao had not expected the boy before him to disregard him so completely. He was the strongest of the Supreme Purity Sword Sect's younger generation.

Clang!

He immediately swung his sword at Xiao Chen.

"Petty tricks, and you dare show them off before a master!"

A trace of contempt appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes as he lightly waved his sword toward the sky.

With a casual strike, he broke through his opponent's Sword Qi, and the sword light continued flying toward Senior Brother Zhao.

"Disciple, watch out!"

Seeing this, the Supreme Purity Sword Sect's elder shouted and swung his sword at the streak of Sword Qi.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen's sword was too fast. The Supreme Purity Sword Sect's elder had no time to save him.

Senior Brother Zhao felt no pain. He only felt the world spinning around him, and then he saw a headless corpse slowly falling toward the ground like a kite with its string cut.

Thud!

With a dull impact,

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone, whether from Prince Ding's Estate or the Supreme Purity Sword Sect, stood frozen.

Only the people from the Dao-Seeking Academy wore expressions of complete familiarity at the sight.

Xiao Chen was invincible among those at the same realm. Dealing with a minor character like this took him hardly any effort.

The only thing that surprised them a little was that the Supreme Purity Sword Sect's Heavenly Origin Realm elder had failed to save his own disciple.

"What a vicious boy! You dared kill my disciple! Today, I'll make you pay your blood debt in blood!"

The Supreme Purity Sword Sect's elder roared, then descended toward Xiao Chen with a swing of his sword.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen advanced instead of retreating, flying into the sky. He swung his sword and effortlessly blocked the other man's strike, then looked at him calmly.

"A Heavenly Origin Realm cultivator."

"Sword Intent!"

A trace of wariness appeared on the face of Elder Bai of the Supreme Purity Sword Sect.

The young man before him was clearly only a True Fate Realm cultivator, yet he had comprehended Sword Intent. His background had to be extraordinary.

"Just who are you?"

Xiao Chen said calmly, "Xiao Chen of the Dao-Seeking Academy."

"The Dao-Seeking Academy!"

"That's impossible!"

A chorus of startled cries rose from the Supreme Purity Sword Sect's people.

Xiao Shili in particular stared at Xiao Chen in astonishment. Hadn't they said before that Xiao Chen had become a cripple?

How was he now standing here unharmed, and even stronger than before?

Elder Bai's expression was exceptionally grim. To the Supreme Purity Sword Sect, the Dao-Seeking Academy was a formidable behemoth.

Never mind that one of the Supreme Purity Sword Sect's disciples had been killed by him.

Even if he himself were slaughtered, the Supreme Purity Sword Sect would not dare make trouble for the Dao-Seeking Academy.

But with so many disciples behind him, he naturally could not let his bearing falter.

"You... why did you kill my disciple?"

Xiao Chen said calmly, "He interfered in my family affairs, and he attacked first. Is there a problem with me killing him?"

"Of course, if you refuse to accept it, you can fight me!!!"
