Chapter 204 Who Dares to Destroy the Xiao Family!
The Xiao family.
Not long after Xiao Chen was tricked away, the entire Xiao family came out and sat down in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Blood-Handed Butcher.
The Xiao family's gate was wide open, with no one guarding it.
Everyone was prepared to die, and even the other members of the branch family did not back down.
Xiao Yuanshan sat in a grand chair in the center of the courtyard, directly facing the entrance.
Some key figures from the Zhong family also came.
Even the bedridden Grandpa Zhong came out and sat on the other side.
He had not fully recovered, but the Xiao family was in dire straits, so he was forced to return to public life.
"Remember this, all of you. If that Blood-Handed Butcher wants to exterminate me after my defeat today, he should take the trial disciples to the main family in the capital and explain everything. The main family will intervene," Xiao Yuanshan instructed.
"As long as Xiao Chen is still alive, my Xiao family has endless hope. We must ensure his safety no matter what!"
“Grandpa, we understand!” Xiao Jialin nodded emphatically.
Xiao Yuanshan stopped talking, closed his eyes to rest, and focused on getting himself into peak condition.
Grandpa Zhong is the same; he's also conserving his energy, waiting for the next peak battle.
Time passed quietly...
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yuanshan and Grandpa Zhong opened their eyes at the same time, their expressions solemn.
"coming!"
An aura wafted in from outside, and all the martial artists present could feel it.
The aura was oppressive, domineering, and extremely aggressive, making everyone feel very depressed.
Xiao Yuanshan and Grandpa Zhong exchanged a heavy glance, both feeling heavy-hearted.
Even before they arrived, their aura was so oppressive; their strength was unfathomable.
There's no need for comparison; they're no match for the second-tier opponents.
"Ten years ago, Bloodhand Butcher was already at the third tier. Now, ten years later, he's even more terrifying..." Old Master Zhong sighed.
Xiao Yuanshan didn't speak, but just stared at the entrance to the courtyard.
You can sense that someone is approaching, walking at a leisurely pace. As they get closer, the oppressive aura they exude grows stronger.
When the visitors reached the entrance, the younger generation of the Xiao family could no longer withstand the pressure and their faces turned pale.
Xiao Yuanshan, with a stern face, released his inner energy, which made them feel a little better.
However, this also took a toll on him, preventing him from maintaining his best condition.
As the oppressive aura reached its peak, one foot stepped into the courtyard.
It was an old man with long hair, a fierce expression, and the appearance of an angry Vajra. His body seemed to be surrounded by blood energy, and his murderous aura was almost tangible. People with lower cultivation levels did not dare to look him directly in the eye.
He walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking down with disdain and his gaze sharp as lightning. Even Xiao Yuanshan and Old Master Zhong tensed up involuntarily.
This was not just a matter of being on high alert; the moment the opponent unleashed their aura, everyone here was affected. Xiao Yuanshan's breathing became labored, and his condition dropped by another ten percent.
Before the fight even started, the signs of defeat were already clear.
"This person..."
Even the usually aloof Dongfang Ruyi looked solemn.
The Blood-Handed Butcher possesses a strong aura of malevolence, which somewhat affects her evil nature; she must maintain a focused mind to control it.
Bloodhand Butcher walked into the courtyard, glanced at everyone, and the oppressive aura reached its peak, causing both families to become listless.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, and his gaze fell on Xiao Yuanshan and Old Master Zhong.
Noticing that the two were not in good spirits, he couldn't help but chuckle.
“Jiang City is truly disappointing,” he said.
Grandpa Zhong is known as the strongest person in Jiang City on the surface, and Xiao Yuanshan is also among the top five, but neither of them combined is worthy of his attention.
"Bloody Butcher, where exactly has my Xiao family offended you? Can you explain yourself?" Xiao Yuanshan stood up, cupped his hands, and asked in a deep voice.
"I haven't offended you, I just want to ask you for something," Bloodhand Butcher said calmly.
"what?"
“One of the young masters of your Xiao family.”
Upon hearing this, the Xiao family members turned pale.
They were indeed after Xiao Chen.
“The Xiao family members are all here. Who do you want?” Xiao Yuanshan replied.
Bloodhand Butcher grinned coldly.
"Don't try to outsmart me, you're too green," he said contemptuously.
"You think hiding that kid in the Zhong family's place will solve everything?"
In an instant, both families changed color.
He actually knew that Xiao Chen was at the Zhong family...
what happened?
“You…” Xiao Yuanshan pointed angrily at the other party, wanting to rebuke him, but he couldn’t say anything.
"Don't worry, that little guy Xiao Chen also has the strength of a King. If he wants to run, it will be hard to catch him," Grandpa Zhong comforted him.
Bloodhand Butcher responded with a sneer.
Xiao Yuanshan was naturally worried.
"Jialin, take your men to the Zhong family right now!" he ordered.
Xiao Jialin gathered his men and wanted to rush to provide support.
"Humph!"
Bloodhand Butcher snorted coldly, his inner force surging like a tidal wave, forming a powerful energy that instantly forced the people in action to retreat continuously.
"With this old man here, who can leave?" he sneered mockingly.
"Today, I have also come to destroy the Xiao family!"
The Xiao family members looked extremely grim.
Although Bloodhand Butcher was cruel in the past, and those who fought him were often crippled or killed, he had never wiped out an entire clan.
It doesn't make sense to try to wipe out the Xiao family right from the start.
"Fine, today we two old buddies will meet the infamous Bloodhand Butcher!" Xiao Yuanshan said, glaring.
He exchanged a glance with Grandpa Zhong, nodded to each other, and then assumed a fighting stance.
With their inner strength enhanced, their aura became quite imposing, seemingly capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with their enemies.
Bloodhand Butcher grew increasingly contemptuous.
"Overestimating yourself," he said, and then walked towards the two of them.
Once close, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
"boom!"
The surging force of the punch swept across like a tidal wave, stirring up a strong wind in the courtyard, causing the flowers, grass, and trees to rustle.
Xiao Yuanshan and Grandpa Zhong dared not delay and quickly exerted their strength to push out their palms as well.
Their combined internal energy countered the Blood Hand Butcher's fist force from a distance.
Bloodhand Butcher had one hand behind his back, and it didn't seem like he was using much force.
Xiao Yuanshan and Old Master Zhong both pushed forward with both palms, but they looked strained and were sweating.
Even with the combined efforts of two people, it was difficult to withstand that blow.
This scene weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, their eyes filled with worry.
If the two old men were in their prime, they might have been evenly matched, but now they can't even unleash half their strength, so how could they be a match for each other?
"Nothing special," Bloodhand Butcher said indifferently, his eyes turning cold as he pushed hard with his hand.
"boom!"
In an instant, the intensity of the internal energy he transmitted rose to another level.
"puff……"
Both old men coughed up blood and their bodies lurched backward uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the people behind me catching me, I would have definitely fallen to the ground.
Xiao Yuanshan and Grandpa Zhong both wore wry smiles.
He couldn't even withstand a single blow...
The gap is too big, how can we fight?
Bloodhand Butcher, he truly lived up to his former reputation; he was truly terrifying.
"The Xiao family is worthless, they can all die!" Bloodhand Butcher said coldly, releasing a murderous aura that resembled dark clouds pressing down on the city.
The Xiao family members looked ashen-faced.
"Is my Xiao family truly destined to be slaughtered?" Xiao Yuanshan said indignantly.
The Xiao family had finally seen a glimmer of hope... a tremendous glimmer of hope...
Bloodhand Butcher looked indifferent and was about to swing his butcher knife.
"Who dares to destroy the Xiao family!"
Suddenly, a loud shout, like a thunderclap, rang out...
