Chapter 41: Xiao Lie's Arrival

However, Xiao Sa obviously did not expect that his very clear good intentions would soon turn into a harbinger of trouble!

Xiao Bing pulled him!

Indeed, he pulled him hard!

Taking advantage of this momentum, Xiao Bing immediately stood up.

And Xiao Sa, due to Xiao Bing's pull, directly lunged forward... Unprepared, Xiao Sa fell to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Bing stood up.

His pale face showed a hint of ruthlessness amidst his panic.

Without a word, the still weak-legged Xiao Bing wanted to take this opportunity to run away... But how could he escape under the presence of a wolf-type beast with the aura of a先天 realm martial artist?

Under Xiao Bei's command, the wolf-type beast charged forward... With just one claw, Xiao Bing's body was sent flying, crashing into a tree in the distance, injured and spitting blood.

On the other side, the wolf-type beast's claw also stepped on Xiao Sa.

Of course, under Xiao Bei's instructions, it did not use its full weight to step on Xiao Sa's vital points; otherwise, this one step would have left Xiao Sa either dead or crippled!

Even so, a mouthful of blood still trickled from the corner of Xiao Sa's mouth.

However, Xiao Bei knew that with Xiao Sa's current Ninth Rank Later Heaven martial artist realm, this injury, though not light, was not fatal. The wolf-type beast had stepped on non-vital points, and given Xiao Sa's status in the family, he would certainly receive some high-quality medicinal herbs. After taking them, it would not be long before he recovered.

On the contrary, this lesson would serve as a warning to Xiao Sa.

On the other side, Xiao Ling and Xiao Peng, after the wolf-type beast attacked Xiao Bing, immediately felt a great relief. The oppressive aura that had been troubling their bodies disappeared, making them feel that the opportunity had come. They turned to flee without a second thought, even ignoring Xiao Sa, who had taken care of them. In their minds, the only thing now was to escape as quickly as possible from the wolf-type beast's deadly claws!

However, facing a wolf-type beast that was far stronger than them, which could easily subdue Xiao Sa and severely injure Xiao Bing with a single move, how could they possibly escape its lightning-fast speed and overwhelming pressure?

Without any further consequences or unexpected events, the two of them instantly felt a strong wind behind them. At almost the same time, both turned their heads, exchanging a glance. Although it was dark, the two, who were not far apart, could still see the word "fear" in each other's eyes.

"Bang!" "Bang!" ... two sounds.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Peng's bodies were sent flying into the air by the wolf-type beast's claws, one each. Then, while the two were still in the air, the wolf-type beast struck again.

"Bang!" "Bang!" ... another two sounds!

After landing, Xiao Ling and Xiao Peng made no further sound.

Xiao Bei also knew that the wolf-type beast had acted entirely according to his wishes. These two would likely suffer severe internal injuries.

Moreover, the wolf-type beast had already broken one of their legs.

Xiao Bei watched all this with a calm expression, but his thoughts drifted, drifting to that blue planet.

...

"I'm not being petty, but even generosity has its limits. The path of martial arts is not just about being obsessed with martial arts and ignoring everything else, or thinking that certain people and events will harm your martial arts mindset and thus letting them go unchecked... That will only create a martial fanatic! And even if a martial fanatic can reach a very high realm in martial arts, it is absolutely not the ultimate goal of martial arts! Child, to achieve greatness in martial arts, you must first become a true person... become a person first, then become a grandmaster!"

"A grandmaster indeed needs a certain demeanor, but it is a principle that is ingrained in the blood, not a so-called restriction that extinguishes humanity. Extinguishing humanity to achieve martial arts is wrong! Wrong! Wrong!"

"Your path in martial arts includes protecting everything you need to protect, including striking when you need to strike, including not being hesitant to be ruthless, and including being kind when you need to be... Remember, learn to be a person first, with humanity... with selfishness, and then you can reach the ultimate goal of martial arts, not coldness. A martial artist, at the peak, is lonely and cold..."

"Remember... this is what a martial artist in the path of martial arts needs!"

A lean, muscular middle-aged man, with prominent muscles, looked straight at a four- or five-year-old child, his sword-like eyebrows and eyes serious, speaking earnestly in the freezing winter on a hill, wearing only a vest and sweating.

In front of the middle-aged man were three men in suits, each holding a gun, but the guns were already impossible to fire, as they had all been cut in half!

Not only that, but the hands of these three men were also severed! Blood was gushing out... The originally stern faces of these three men were now pale and filled with horror.

What had cut their hands and guns were just flat stone chips.

The child looked at his father, seemingly understanding something, and his heart was unknowingly filled with something.

...

"Huh?"

Slightly distracted, Xiao Bei couldn't help but frown.

The reason was simple: Xiao Bei sensed a familiar aura approaching.

It was one of the five elders of the Xiao family who were overseeing this trial, named Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie's situation was similar to Xiao Bei's; he was also an illegitimate child, and his father died shortly after his birth. His mother was a prostitute, so his status was never high, and he was often bullied and insulted.

However, unlike Xiao Bei, he was not a waste; he had good talent. Therefore, he took his ridicule seriously and practiced diligently, achieving remarkable success in his cultivation, becoming a strong martial artist who successfully broke through to the先天 realm at around forty years old.

Feeling his aura, Xiao Bei was taken aback.

From the heart, due to the fusion of the previous Xiao Bei's soul, Xiao Bei had a certain fondness for Xiao Lie.

After all, their experiences and the hardships they endured were similar. At one point, the reason the previous Xiao Bei worked hard to cultivate, besides for his mother and Jiang Yuan, and to prove himself, was partly because of the small part of Xiao Lie that served as an internal motivation.

"What is Xiao Lie doing here? How could he have arrived so quickly?"

Xiao Bei thought for a moment, his mind rapidly turning, forming a guess.
