C2 Killing People Using Trickery
The one leading them was called Xiao Dong, and when he saw Xiao Jian, he shouted loudly.
Although Xiao Dong was a member of a side branch of Xiao Family, his talent was not bad. At the age of seventeen, he was already at the eighth level of Qi Refining and was highly regarded by his family.
"Xiao Jian, hand over your monthly reports for this month. The previous monthly reports were given to us, yet this month you're so untactful!"
A skinny teenager beside Xiao Dong said arrogantly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm of use this month's issue. I can't give it to you, and I won't be able to give it to you in the future either!"
Xiao Jian was not angry. He smiled and said that he could not cultivate previously, so he did not need any monthly quests. The training conditions for the disciples from the other branches were quite difficult. Previously, Xiao Jian had instructed the elders to distribute monthly invitations to the disciples from the other branches who had potential.
But from the looks of it, he seemed to have been kind and had been misunderstood.
"Useful? What use can a piece of trash like you, who only occupied a single month? Hurry up and hand it over! "
He was a talented disciple in the side branch. Although Xiao Jian was the son of the family head, in this world where strength was paramount, he did not put this so-called young master in his eyes at all.
A young master of a family occupied the majority of resources, yet he was born to be a trash without any cultivation. Xiao Dong secretly compared himself to Xiao Jian in his heart, and a sense of superiority spontaneously arose.
"What if I don't give it to you?"
Xiao Jian's eyes suddenly turned cold. He could use his monthly allowance to support disciples with potential in the side branch because he didn't have a share and also because he was helping his own kind.
However, this did not mean that others could rob his things, much less that he had no cultivation. These disciples from the branch family could treat him as a soft eggplant.
Looks like over the years, these people have somewhat forgotten that they are the young master of Xiao Family. Since they had come looking for him, then he might as well teach them a lesson.
"If you don't want to give me, I'll beat you up. So what if you're the eldest young master? You're just a piece of trash!" As long as I don't kill you, even the Patriarch wouldn't dare to say anything! "
Xiao Dong said arrogantly. As he spoke, a large blade had already appeared in his hand.
"Hmph …" You bunch of bad guys, if you want to bully him, ask me first! "
When Wu Qingcheng saw this scene, she was also angered. She stood up with her pair of small hands spread out, blocking Xiao Jian's path. Xiao Jian was speechless once again.
"Isn't this the little girl from Wu Family? The rumors say that the little girl from Wu Family is very close to us, trash young Master.
Xiao Dong's gaze became serious as he looked at Wu Qingcheng with lustful eyes.
"That's right, that's right …" "She's only ten years old, but she's already so beautiful. When she grows up, she won't be a devastatingly beautiful woman!"
How could the skinny teenager beside Xiao Dong not understand what Xiao Dong meant? The way he looked at Wu Qingcheng was even more presumptuous.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Jian's frail body burst forth with a frightening killing intent, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. No matter what, he shouldn't have insulted Wu Qingcheng. Xiao Dong should not have insulted Wu Qingcheng with his words.
"Come back, I can settle this myself!"
Xiao Jian pulled the little girl by her collar and carried her behind him as he spoke in a neutral tone.
"Xiao Jian, can you do it?"
Being stopped by Xiao Jian, the little girl felt a little unhappy, but she still asked with a worried expression.
"Girl, remember this: a man cannot say he is no good. Moreover, it's just a few greedy ones who have their own problems. Your brother, Xiao Jian, is not that bad! "
Xiao Jian smiled and said half-jokingly.
"You're courting death!"
When Xiao Dong heard Xiao Jian say that he was a crooked melon, he got angry. He went up and threw a punch, but Xiao Jian easily dodged it.
"Stop, what are you all doing?"
At this moment, a pleasant female voice rang out, and a young girl in a red dress appeared in everyone's line of sight. She looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, and her hair was tied up in a high bun.
Furthermore, her appearance was extremely beautiful, but she had an alluring charm that did not match her age.
When Xiao Dong heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then retracted his hand.
"Hehe …" Miss Yu, we were just looking for Young Master Xiao Jian to have a spar! "
Xiao Dong chuckled and explained. However, he looked at Xiao Jian and Wu Qingcheng sharply, threatening them to keep quiet.
"It's not a spar!"
Xiao Jian didn't seem to notice Xiao Dong's gaze at all as he said plainly.
"If this isn't a spar, then you guys are offending your superiors. Go to the Discipline Hall and receive your punishments!"
Xiao Yu'er frowned and scolded.
"Sis, what I mean is, it's not a spar, but a life and death duel!"
The corner of Xiao Jian's mouth twitched as he said something shocking. From the moment Xiao Dong insulted Wu Qingcheng, the three people in front of him were already cold corpses in Xiao Jian's eyes.
Xiao Yu'er was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard what he said. Unless they had great hatred towards him, they wouldn't develop to the stage of a life and death duel.
"Jian..." Are you serious? "Don't be rash!"
"Of course I'm serious!"
Xiao Jian smiled and said without any care.
"Hahaha …" Just you and I are having a life-and-death duel? Great Genius Xiao, are you sure? "
Xiao Dong was instantly happy when he heard this. The two clan disciples behind him also laughed so hard that they leaned forward and leaned back. Within the clan, who didn't know that Xiao Jian was unable to cultivate since he was young, and even now at the age of eighteen, he still had no cultivation on him.
This trash young Master actually said he wanted to fight to the death with me. Is this trash not only physically crippled, but his brain as well?
"En!"
Xiao Jian replied indifferently. He had a calm expression on his face, which didn't seem like he was joking at all.
"Jian, you …"
Xiao Yu'er was completely stunned. What happened to her brother today? Why did he suddenly have to duel Xiao Dong? In the family, it was true that battles between the younger generations of the family were not forbidden. Once a life-and-death duel was initiated, life and death were intertwined with life and death.
In other words, if he and Xiao Dong were to fight to the death, even if Xiao Dong were to beat the great Young Master Xiao Family to death, the family would not be able to hold Xiao Dong accountable.
"Sister, don't worry. I can take care of it myself!"
Xiao Jian's heart warmed when he saw Xiao Yu'er's worried expression.
"Hehe …" Then I'll accept your death match! The black iron greatsword that I just got is a high grade one spirit weapon, I just happened to use you to test it! "
Hearing that, Xiao Dong chuckled. Once a life and death duel was initiated, even if Xiao Jian was the Young Master of Xiao Family, so what?
A hundred years ago, there was a Patriarch from a side branch of the Xiao Family. However, in a duel, the original successor of the Xiao Family was killed and he became the number one of the Xiao Family's younger generation.
Because that side branch was too outstanding, under the blessing of the elders, it finally jumped from a side branch to become the Patriarch of Xiao Family.
"Xiao Dong, you …"
Xiao Yu'er gritted her teeth. Due to being too agitated, her face was slightly flushed.
"Come on, I'm very busy. I don't have time to play with you!"
Xiao Jian smiled and said.
"You're courting death!"
Xiao Dong waved his broadsword and was about to attack.
"Wait, this is not fair! Xiao Dong had a spiritual weapon, but Jian didn't! "
Just as Xiao Dong was about to attack, Xiao Yu'er shouted softly. Since Xiao Jian insisted, he was also helpless. If Xiao Jian's life was in danger, she wouldn't care about the rules and would not hesitate to save him.
After all, his parents only had a son, and he only had a younger brother.
"Jian, this is sister's Coldsteel Golden Saber!"
As she spoke, a cold ray of light flashed from Xiao Yu'er's sleeve, piercing straight into the ground in front of Xiao Jian.
"No need!" Xiao Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly. He then thought for a while and looked around. After taking a few steps, he broke off a branch from a small tree by the side of the road.
"Jian, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yu'er was confused. What was she going to do by breaking a branch?
"Kill them, just use this branch!" A trace of cold light flashed across Xiao Jian's eyes. He looked at Xiao Dong and the other two and released a murderous aura from his body, "Come! 1v1, group fight or revolving battle, it's up to you! "
"Very well, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Xiao Dong was completely enraged. It was one thing for a trash to send out a life and death duel, but he still claimed to be able to deal with him with just a branch.
This was no longer a simple act of contempt, but an insult to him.
"Xiao Jian, you can do it! I think highly of you!"
Wu Qingcheng, who was not far away, waved her fist to cheer Xiao Jian on. Hearing this, Xiao Jian was speechless again.
"Little girl, close your eyes!"
Xiao Jian didn't forget to remind Ye Zichen as he held the branch in his hand.
"Alright!"
When Wu Qingcheng heard this, she covered her face with her hands, but she could still see the situation through the gaps between her fingers.
"Since that's the case, you can go and die!"
Xiao Dong shouted and quickly rushed towards Xiao Jian.
Seeing Xiao Dong approaching him, Xiao Jian grabbed the branch with his hand. He looked at Xiao Dong with an indifferent expression. Xiao Yu'er, who was standing at the side, had cold sweat on her hands. If she really couldn't do it, she wouldn't have paid any price to save Xiao Jian.
Just as the attack was about to arrive, Xiao Jian's body suddenly moved. He dashed forward and met Xiao Dong's blade head on.
What was he trying to do? Was he courting death? Xiao Yu'er was completely stunned. She was only able to save him under normal circumstances, but now, Xiao Jian was obviously seeking death. This was something that she could not save no matter how hard she tried.
However, no matter what, she had to make a move at this moment of life and death.
"Puchi …"
Just as Xiao Yu'er was about to make her move, the sound of flesh being pierced could be heard. She saw Xiao Jian meet Xiao Dong's blade head on and pass by him. Xiao Yu'er could clearly see that Xiao Jian's face was almost sticking to the back of Xiao Dong's sword.
As the two passed each other, Xiao Dong suddenly stopped. The branch in Xiao Jian's hand was long gone. When Xiao Yu'er reacted, she saw the branch in Xiao Jian's hand pierce through Xiao Dong's throat.
At the last moment before his death, Xiao Dong's eyes were filled with disbelief. He didn't expect that his casual attack would actually be caught by Wu Tie in an instant. With just a tree branch, he pierced through his weakest spot.
Xiao Jian, on the other hand, was unharmed. Not even his white shirt was stained with a trace of blood.
