Chapter 20: He Who Insults Others Will Be Insulted (Part 2)

When Xiao Jing turned around, his confidence wavered, but he remembered that he had the support of his aunt, and that he was a Fifth Rank Later Heaven martial artist. Xiao Bei, on the other hand, was just a Fourth Rank Later Heaven martial artist. According to rumors, the reason Xiao Bei had beaten Xiao Bing and Xiao Yun was because he, the former waste, had used a despicable sneak attack. The sudden chill that had risen in Xiao Jing's back was now dispelled by his renewed courage.

Even if he put aside all these factors, would Xiao Bei dare to kill him?

Thinking this, Xiao Jing regained his courage.

"What can you do? Xiao Bei, don't think that the Xiao family can't deal with you now. I have the support of my aunt... If you try to punish me, someone will definitely speak up for me. Besides, can you even beat me? Just do as I say. By the way, don't think Jiang Yuan will come to save you; I tricked her into leaving, and she won't be back for a while."

His words were quite blunt.

Aunt?

Xiao Bei frowned and thought for a moment. He understood that the aunt Xiao Jing was referring to was probably Xiao Feng's official wife, the woman his mother had called "Big Aunt." She was also the mother of Xiao Yun and Xiao Bing, his half-brothers.

She was quite patient, only coming after Xiao Bei had beaten the vicious woman Li so late.

"Slap yourself thirty times, then kneel down and apologize to my mother, and finally, get out of here. I won't break your hand. And you..." Xiao Bei pointed at Li's husband, who had become as silent as a cicada but whose eyes were filled with intense hatred, "you'd better break your own two legs, then kneel down and apologize, and crawl out of here. Otherwise, if I do it myself, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."

"Xiao Bei, you're so arrogant!"

Xiao Jing laughed in anger, his face turning red as he looked at Xiao Bei, "Do you know who you are? A Fourth Rank Later Heaven martial artist, and you dare to speak such arrogant words? Besides, you were just a waste before, and only got lucky to reach your current level. Your talent is still at the same level, and you will never reach a high realm in the future! Also, you're a bastard, what right do you have to criticize others? Don't you even know your own status? If it weren't for Jiang Yuan protecting you, you would have been beaten to death long ago!"

Xiao Jing's face was filled with malice as he spoke quickly and urgently.

"Done talking?"

Xiao Bei blinked and pointed to the courtyard, "I don't have time to listen to your rambling. Now, make your decision."

Xiao Jing couldn't hold back any longer. Anger filled his heart as he looked at the calm Xiao Bei. He immediately threw a punch, his fist carrying martial energy, viciously aiming for Xiao Bei's head.

Seeing that Xiao Jing's attack was aimed at his head, Xiao Bei knew that today, he had to make an example of Xiao Jing, who had been used as cannon fodder by Big Aunt.

If he were really weak, Xiao Jing's punch could have taken his life!

Shaking his head, Xiao Bei moved his body with the ease of a leisurely stroll, his speed far surpassing Xiao Jing's. Clearly, Xiao Jing had been completely enraged by Xiao Bei. As Xiao Bei retreated, Xiao Jing immediately followed up with a kick.

Sighing, Xiao Bei quickly extended his hand, grabbing Xiao Jing's calf and pulling it outward with force.

Xiao Jing let out a cry of pain as a sharp pain shot through his groin, and he felt himself losing balance.

With a slight effort, Xiao Bei swept his arm in a circle, lifting Xiao Jing's body upward.

Then, Xiao Bei used both hands to push downward!

At this moment, Xiao Jing was terrified!

Because his head was about to hit the ground!

Xiao Jing trembled with fear, feeling that Xiao Bei really intended to kill him!

He didn't want to die!

"Xiao Bei, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I really am wrong, I..."

Xiao Bei knew this was enough. There was no need to really kill this brainless cannon fodder, but he couldn't let him off without a lesson, as he had violated Xiao Bei's principles.

Extending a foot, Xiao Bei placed it under Xiao Jing's chest, then used a hidden force to send it into Xiao Jing's body.

After that, Xiao Bei released his grip.

Xiao Bei believed that this hidden force would make Xiao Jing's future cultivation extremely difficult.

He who insults others will be insulted.

Don't blame me for being too ruthless. If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they do, I will return the favor.

Throwing the pale-faced Xiao Jing to the side, Xiao Bei bent down and, amidst Xiao Jing's fearful cries of "Don't come over," grabbed the hand Xiao Jing had used to point at his mother Zhang Lan and insult her. Then, he raised his other hand and chopped down hard!

"Crack!"

Xiao Jing's arm was broken!

Xiao Jing screamed in pain, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Xiao Bei, "Xiao Bei, you, you... you're not a Fourth Rank Later Heaven martial artist! You deceived the clan and harmed the clan!"

"I thought you were tough, but when your life was at stake, you kept apologizing to me, showing your cowardice. I thought you were a sensible person, so I broke one of your arms. But now, you're still shouting and not repenting..."

Xiao Bei shook his head and bent down again, "Crack!" He broke Xiao Jing's other arm!

Then, a powerful martial energy burst from Xiao Bei's body, sending the screaming Xiao Jing flying over ten meters away.

Turning to the so-called Uncle Li, who was scared stiff and had wet his pants, Xiao Bei said, "Hurt yourself, or I'll take your life."

Sighing, Xiao Bei felt he had changed a bit. Before he went to the mountains to kill the demonic beasts, he would never have been so ruthless. But the reality of this world, where the weak were preyed upon, and the repeated bullying, had ignited his true anger.

He would have to adapt to this world, so be it.

"Hurt yourself, I'll hurt myself..."

The so-called Uncle Li nodded repeatedly, first kneeling down to apologize to Zhang Lan and the others, his head bleeding from the repeated kowtows. Then, he viciously broke his own legs.

After the two cracking sounds, he crawled away bit by bit.

However, to be on the safe side, Xiao Bei struck his back as he crawled away, just like he had done to Xiao Jing. This hidden force would prevent him from cultivating again.

The wailing Xiao Jing, seeing that the person he had come to confront had left, also wanted to leave.

He wanted to get away from this place of trouble, away from the devil-like Xiao Bei!

"I forgot one thing, apologize to my mother."

Xiao Bei's voice was calm.

Xiao Jing, now completely without any courage, kowtowed repeatedly and hurriedly left.

As Xiao Jing reached the door, Xiao Bei said, "He who insults others will be insulted. I hope in the future, you will know your place and not do foolish things. Otherwise..."

Turning away from the nearly collapsed Xiao Jing, Xiao Bei said to his mother Zhang Lan, who was staring at him with wide eyes, "Mother, go inside. It's fine."

Signaling to the stunned Xiao Man and Huan'er, Xiao Bei bent down and looked at Xiao Si, the Second Rank Later Heaven martial artist and old steward, who had spoken little to him and was about sixty years old. He smiled, "Thank you, Steward Xiao. Don't worry, your injuries will be fine. I'll help you heal."

Xiao Si nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Young Master Bei, thank you, Young Master Bei. It's my duty."
