Chapter 26: Victory, Accomplice (Part 2)

After delivering that slap, Xiao Bei immediately turned his body. The slap to Xiao Li's face also caused Xiao Li's head to turn, and the凝聚的攻击自然从萧北身边漏了过去。

After Xiao Bei retreated, his entire body immediately turned 360 degrees, and then his other hand attacked Xiao Li again!

Due to inertia, this slap naturally had the ability to further injure Xiao Li, who was already dazed.

Falling to the ground!

Xiao Li's massive body crashed to the ground, landing at the edge of the platform with a groan.

Xiao Bei knew that he should stop at this point. His attack was not too light, and he had also transmitted a hidden force. This hidden force would likely prevent Xiao Li from using his powers for a while. In this situation, Xiao Li would definitely concede.

With this in mind, Xiao Bei immediately stopped. However, at that moment, a strong aura of a Ninth Rank Later Heaven martial artist erupted behind Xiao Bei.

Xiao Wu!

Xiao Bei frowned.

What is Xiao Wu up to?

As he thought, Xiao Bei's body quickly turned and dodged to the side.

"‘Blood Sacrifice Technique,’ a forbidden technique of the family, Xiao Bei, you actually dared to use it to harm Xiao Li. Regardless of whether you should have seriously injured Xiao Li in this fight, the mere act of using the ‘Blood Sacrifice Technique’ without permission is already a mistake! Heavenly Dragon Guards, arrest him!"

Xiao Wu said with anger on his face.

However, the subtle look in his eyes revealed to Xiao Bei that Xiao Wu had been plotting against him all along. He had believed that Xiao Li would definitely win after undergoing the "expansion," so he had not interfered. But now that Xiao Li had been knocked down by Xiao Bei, Xiao Wu saw that Xiao Li could not participate in tomorrow's family trial, so he acted out of anger.

As for the reason that the ‘Blood Sacrifice Technique’ is a family taboo, it was a stretch for Xiao Wu to come up with.

While Xiao Bei's thoughts were racing, four Heavenly Dragon Guards, who had reached the Fourth Rank Later Heaven level, suddenly emerged from the crowd below, which had been stunned by Xiao Bei's victory.

Four Fourth Rank Later Heaven Heavenly Dragon Guards... Xiao Bei smiled at the furious Xiao Wu and said lightly, "If you want to pin a crime on someone, you will never lack for an excuse. Xiao Wu, I didn't expect you to find such a grand reason to strike against me. The ‘Blood Sacrifice Technique’ is a forbidden technique of the family? You really came up with that reason—why would it be displayed in the family's library if it were a forbidden technique? Ridiculous, ridiculous."

Xiao Bei, whose face was slightly pale, sneered and then said to the four Heavenly Dragon Guards who were hesitantly surrounding him, "Don't act rashly and tarnish the reputation of the Xiao family's Heavenly Dragon Guards. Also, I order you to withdraw."

Seeing that the four Heavenly Dragon Guards did not move, Xiao Bei said, "What, is the word of a Xiao family member not as important as that of an outsider who has changed his surname to Xiao?"

The overwhelming aura around Xiao Bei had disappeared, and he now only emitted the aura of an Eighth Rank Later Heaven martial artist.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan lightly leaped onto the platform.

Her eyes looked disdainfully at Xiao Wu, who was supporting Xiao Li, and then she said to the four Heavenly Dragon Guards, who were a bit dazed and glaring at each other, "Think carefully, don't do anything that can't be undone, and don't tarnish the reputation of the Xiao family's Heavenly Dragon Guards as Xiao Bei said!"

Xiao Bei, seeing Jiang Yuan's frowning and stern expression, found her particularly charming. Of course, it was because her anger was for his sake.

"You dare!"

Xiao Wu roared from the other side, then, ignoring the still dazed Xiao Li, he rushed over.

His speed was very fast.

Moreover, his target was not Xiao Bei but Jiang Yuan, who was standing in front of Xiao Bei. Not only that, but he, a Ninth Rank Later Heaven martial artist, used his full strength against Jiang Yuan, a Seventh Rank Later Heaven martial artist!

The surging aura of a Ninth Rank Later Heaven martial artist in his fist told Xiao Bei that if he were still the powerless, weak, and unable-to-practice martial arts waste he used to be, he would have to watch helplessly as Jiang Yuan, the woman who had always been spiritually connected to him, was harmed, and he would be unable to offer any assistance!

Fortunately, this Xiao Bei was no longer that Xiao Bei!

And Xiao Bei was truly angry!

This was the second time Xiao Bei had truly been enraged since merging with the previous Xiao Bei. The first time was when he encountered Li Han and his mother's argument on the first day. This time, it was because of the beauty, Jiang Yuan!

The two closest people to him were so important!

"If you dare to lay a hand on Jiang Yuan, Xiao Wu, your life cannot be spared. You have crossed my底线. Also, you will not be left with a whole body."

As he spoke, Xiao Bei's body moved, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Wu, who had been dismissive of his words.

Xiao Wu, who was moving sideways, saw Xiao Bei turn and deliver a palm filled with martial energy directly to Xiao Bei's body.

However, he had miscalculated!

Xiao Bei was an Imperial Rank martial artist!

Even if Xiao Bei did not want to fully unleash his Imperial Rank strength, he still had countless methods to defeat, cripple, or kill Xiao Wu, who was merely a Ninth Rank Later Heaven martial artist, while appearing to remain at the Eighth Rank Later Heaven level to outsiders.

Leaving a broad back to Jiang Yuan, Xiao Bei soared into the air like a sword, and his martial energy once again transformed into the aura of a Ninth Rank Later Heaven martial artist. He had already decided that when asked by Xiao Zhan and others, he would say that he used the ‘Blood Sacrifice Technique’ again and would appear weak to them.

The overwhelming martial energy blocked Xiao Wu like a wall, but there was no fear on Xiao Wu's face. After the martial energy on his fist rubbed against Xiao Bei's martial energy, Xiao Wu tried to force his way through!

However, Xiao Bei's speed was unbelievably fast!

He moved like lightning!

Xiao Wu had no chance to dodge. After rising five meters high, Xiao Bei suddenly plunged down!

The powerful inertia and the momentum of the martial energy caused Xiao Wu's already aged and stiff body to immediately contract upon contact.

"Bang!"

Xiao Wu was directly stomped into the platform by Xiao Bei, causing a pile of rubble to fly up!

The entire platform collapsed due to him!

Standing on his body was Xiao Bei, with a calm expression.
