Chapter 88

Staring at Xiao Yan, who showed no mercy, Jiali Ao's face turned pale, fear enveloping his features.

On the street, seeing Jiali Ao about to be splattered with blood, everyone present involuntarily drew a cold breath. Xiao Yan's decisive and swift actions made many people look at him with renewed respect.

Xiao Yu's rosy lips were slightly open, and her body stood stiff. Xiao Yan's readiness to kill so decisively completely overturned the gentle image he had in her mind. She never imagined that the boy who usually played and acted out with her could be so ruthless when he really got serious.

Everyone's gaze followed the iron rod in Xiao Yan's hand. However, just as the iron rod was about half a meter away from Jiali Ao's head, a roar like a thunderclap suddenly echoed on the street: "Xiao family's boy, it's just a challenge and a sparring match, how dare you use such vicious means?"

Hearing the roar filled with rage, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Not only did he not stop the iron rod in his hand, but he struck down even more fiercely.

"Get out of my way!" Xiao Yan's actions clearly provoked the anger of the person who had roared earlier. A sharp cry of anger burst out, and a piercing wind energy shot out, like a bolt of green lightning, slicing through the middle of the iron rod. Instantly, the hard iron rod was cut into two pieces, the cut smooth as a mirror.

The iron rod being easily cut in half, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and was about to stab the remaining half of the iron rod into Jiali Ao's throat when the green wind energy struck again, the intense wind pressure making Xiao Yan's breathing quicken.

His pupils constricted, and the iron rod he thrust down was as if blocked by an invisible wind membrane, unable to strike down no matter what.

His lips twitched, and Xiao Yan's right hand gripped the iron rod tightly. His body slightly tilted, and he suddenly twisted, the iron rod flying out of his hand, turning into a black shadow, shooting fiercely at the figure leaping from the sky.

"Hmph!" Seeing Xiao Yan dare to attack him, the figure let out a cold snort. His hands curled into claws, and he waved them fiercely in front of him, forming several pale green energy wind blades from the dense green aura.

With a flick of his fingers, the wind blades shot out, cutting the iron rod into dozens of pieces.

"You are so young, yet your heart is so cruel. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Xiao Zhan!" After shattering the iron rod, the figure sneered, the green aura in his palms rapidly condensing. A circle of wind formed under his feet, lifting him into the air. His figure, like a cannonball, dove down at Xiao Yan, his palm swinging, a pale green aura wind blade appearing and shooting fiercely at Xiao Yan.

The intense wind pressure from the wind blade blew all the debris on the ground clean, leaving not a speck of dust.

"Teach me a lesson? You're just a nobody! Take care of your own son." Smirking, Xiao Yan shook his head. From the nature of the aura, he recognized the person as Jiali Ao's father, Jiali Bi.

With a calm face, Xiao Yan watched the wind blade shooting towards him. Just as it was about to be five meters above his head, Xiao Yan's palm struck the ground, an invisible force bursting out. Upon contact with the ground, it propelled Xiao Yan into the air. His body flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on an open space several meters away.

The wind blade missed its target, leaving a deep mark on the hard stone slab with a "swoosh."

"Father, kill him!" Seeing the figure diving down from the sky, Jiali Ao's face was filled with joy, and he shouted with venom.

Landing, Jiali Bi's face was dark as he glanced at Jiali Ao's arm, his face twitching. A cold and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak. His foot stomped the ground, and he charged at Xiao Yan again: "Let me see what makes you, the Xiao family's genius, so special!"

From Jiali Bi's appearance to Xiao Yan's retreat, it was just a moment. When everyone saw Jiali Bi, a Great Fighter, sneak attack a young Fighter, a chorus of boos rose.

"Damn, Jiali old dog, you big melon, you have the nerve to attack!" Seeing Jiali Bi, who ignored the difference in their ranks, charge again, Xiao Yan's face finally turned ugly, and he cursed.

"Boy, you broke my son's hand. Do you think you can walk away unscathed?" Jiali Bi's foot stomped the ground, and his figure, like a gust of wind, appeared above Xiao Yan. A sinister look flashed across his expressionless face, and his fist clenched, the surging green aura rapidly forming a huge green vortex.

"Damn, you even use a Profound Rank technique, Jiali old dog, you've disgraced the Jiali family!" Feeling the fierce power in Jiali Bi's fist, Xiao Yan's face turned extremely ugly, and his hand quietly touched the black ring on his finger.

Not far away, watching Xiao Yan in danger, Xun Er's face changed slightly. She slowly exhaled, and golden flames gradually rose in her eyes. In her hand, pale golden aura began to condense into fierce energy.

Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to save himself and Xun Er was preparing to rescue him, a roar filled with rage echoed on the street: "Damn, Jiali old dog, when did it become your turn to teach my son a lesson?"

As the roar faded, a figure glowing with a fiery red aura flashed from outside the market. His foot stomped a rooftop, and he appeared in front of Xiao Yan in a flash. He raised his head and roared, a faint lion's roar accompanying his voice.

"Mountain Lion Split!"

His face stern, Xiao Zhan's iron fist clenched, and he struck the sky at Jiali Bi. A huge red lion's head faintly appeared on his fist.

"Boom!"

The collision of green and red produced a sound like a muffled thunder, making most people on the street feel their ears ringing.

In mid-air, the two figures' bodies trembled slightly and then retreated. As Xiao Zhan retreated, he also grabbed Xiao Yan and pulled him behind him.

His steps retreated rapidly on the ground, leaving visible footprints with each step, showing the immense power of their clash.

Dissipating the energy, Xiao Zhan glared coldly at Jiali Bi, sneering, "Jiali Bi, you've really gone to the dogs, attacking a junior."

Jiali Bi's face was dark, his lips twitching. Pointing at Jiali Ao on the ground, he said coldly, "He beat my son to this state. Xiao Zhan, today, you must give me an explanation!"

"Explanation? What explanation? If my son wasn't quick, he would be lying on the ground now. Would I then have to demand an explanation from you?" Xiao Zhan sneered, cursing fiercely.

"This challenge was issued by your son, and everyone here can testify. Breaking arms and legs in a challenge is normal. Why make such a fuss?" Xiao Zhan's fierce expression slowly softened, and he smiled.

"You..." His face twitched rapidly, and Jiali Bi, seeing the mocking gazes of the crowd, knew he had lost the best opportunity to attack Xiao Yan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me catch you, or else!"

"I'll return that to you." Smiling, Xiao Zhan's eyes also flashed with a fierce light.

"Fine, fine, wait and see!" Laughing in anger, Jiali Bi picked up the howling Jiali Ao and turned to leave. As he passed Liu Xi, seeing his stunned look, his anger flared again. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Liu Xi, let's go!"

"Uh? That girl..." Liu Xi cast an unwilling glance at Xun Er not far away.

His eyes twitched rapidly, and Jiali Bi almost wanted to kill this idiot who only had women on his mind. Clenching his fists, he forced himself to smile awkwardly after a moment: "We'll discuss this matter in detail when we get back."

"Ah, alright." Seeing Jiali Bi's "painful" face, Liu Xi reluctantly nodded, his gaze scanning Xun Er's graceful figure with a lustful look before reluctantly following Jiali Bi out of the market.

Watching the disheveled Jiali Bi and his group leave the market, Xiao Zhan sneered, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. He then turned to look at Xiao Yan, who had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. His gaze softened, and he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder heavily, then smacked his lips, saying regretfully, "The kid didn't hit hard enough. Jiali Bi only has one son. If you had broken Jiali Ao's thing, Jiali Bi would have gone crazy today. At that point, the three elders hiding outside would have had an excuse to join forces and kill him. Tsk tsk, what a pity."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback, rolling his eyes helplessly. Xun Er and Xiao Yu, standing nearby, blushed at the crude comment.

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, the surrounding mercenaries felt their scalps tingle. No wonder the son is so ruthless; the father is even more so.
