Chapter 99 alarms the military
"boom!"
The stone wall ruins exploded, and the Yaksha emerged from within, disheveled and in a sorry state.
"You've clearly been poisoned by the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder!" He stared intently at Xiao Chen, his voice chilling.
The Heavenly King's Palace's unique secret medicine, the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder, has never failed.
He couldn't understand why Xiao Chen, despite being poisoned, still possessed such formidable strength, even surpassing him in skill.
"Is the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder very poisonous?" Xiao Chen chuckled softly, neither confirming nor denying.
"I have been immune to all poisons for several years now."
Yaksha's eyes widened in surprise.
He found it incredible that someone in the world could be immune to toxins.
"I have to admit, the Heavenly King's Palace seriously underestimated you!" Yaksha said in a sinister tone.
The Heavenly King Palace is such a transcendent organization that it didn't care much about a discarded son of the Xiao family, which led to the current situation.
"After I return, I will definitely report to the Heavenly King and spare no effort to eliminate you, even at the great risk of violating the agreed rules!" Yaksha said very seriously.
It's astonishing that someone from the bottom, who was never noticed before, not only possesses terrifying strength at such a young age, but also has an extraordinary foundation that is terrifying to contemplate.
Xiao Chen shook his head at Yaksha.
"You can't go back," he said calmly.
Yaksha narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I want to leave, and you can't stop me!" With that, Yaksha vanished in a flash.
The scene was completely silent.
The Xiao family members looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Lord Yasha... has he run away?
The Ten Great Generals of the Heavenly King's Palace fled after exchanging only one move with Xiao Chen?
They were dumbfounded.
The Yakshas have all escaped, so who will help them deal with Xiao Chen?
How should they deal with this?
The people from the Heavenly King's Palace reacted faster than the Xiao family. Seeing their commander flee in defeat, they quickly realized what was happening and rushed out in a swarm.
Xiao Chen simply watched this scene calmly, without ordering the Netherworld Guards to give chase.
"If they escape, there will be endless trouble!" Xia Liuli said solemnly.
"Don't worry, none of them will escape," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
On the other side, Yaksha used all his strength and left the Xiao family at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that no one was chasing him, his expression relaxed slightly.
"This child is terrifyingly dangerous; he must not be allowed to live!" he thought to himself, his heart heavy.
As soon as he turned around, Yaksha's expression froze and became stiff.
Outside the Xiao family's residence, it wasn't deserted; rather, it was packed with people.
Countless red laser dots hovered over the Yaksha, causing a burning sensation.
Ahead, the dark muzzles of more than ten cannons were pointed directly at him at the gate.
There was no way out behind them; all they could see was a vast expanse of military green, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Huhuhu..."
The hum of helicopter rotors could be heard overhead, and the blinding searchlights illuminated him completely.
It was surrounded, completely impenetrable.
Even though Yaksha was incredibly powerful, he couldn't escape such a formidable force.
dong dong dong...
While Yaksha was still in a daze, the others also ran out of the Xiao family.
"Lord Yaksha, what are you standing there for? Run!" The people behind him shouted in confusion as they were blocked from view.
Soon, they saw the army outside and froze in shock.
A moment later, people from the Xiao and Xia families also came out.
"This……"
The two families stared in disbelief, trembling with shock as they looked outside.
After all, with countless guns pointed at them, who wouldn't be afraid?
A short while later, a man stepped out from the front of the army.
"Ah...it's Xia Peng!" The Xia family recognized the man and immediately showed surprise and delight.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's Xia Peng from the Xia family. He's definitely here with the army to support us!" Xia Yuanzhi stepped forward and said with a big laugh.
"Really?" The Xiao family members were skeptical.
After all, it was Xia Peng who led his troops to arrest them outside the clinic last time.
Yaksha's brows were furrowed, and his expression showed no sign of softening.
Xia Peng paid no attention to the Xia family.
Xia Peng, standing at the front of the army, looked at the Xia family with sorrow and sighs in his eyes.
"The Xia family has finally come to this..." he said helplessly.
He had given the Xia family a meaningful warning: not to provoke the Xiao family's abandoned son again, and to behave themselves. Clearly, they didn't listen.
"Xia Peng, that Xiao Chen is trying to kill someone! Arrest them immediately!" Xia Yuanzhi shouted to Xia Peng.
Xia Peng frowned and ordered his men to raise their guns.
Before the Xia family could even rejoice, they discovered that the target wasn't Xiao Chen or his ilk, but them.
Every member of the Xia and Xiao families was being targeted by at least dozens of scopes.
"This... Xia Peng, what are you doing?" The Xia family members asked, puzzled.
"Everyone stay still, hands up! Anyone who moves will be shot on sight!" Xia Peng said coldly.
"Xia Peng, you!" The Xia family members were shocked and furious, ready to reprimand him.
"boom!"
A bullet grazed past them, and the Xia family members looked terrified, not daring to utter another word.
"I warned you long ago not to provoke Xiao Chen again, but you were stubborn and refused to listen. Now, I can't save you either," Xia Peng said, holding up his gun with exasperation.
"The commander has arrived!"
Upon hearing the announcement, Xia Peng immediately put away his gun and stepped aside, and the soldiers made way for him.
An elderly man in military uniform, who looked dignified, walked slowly towards them.
He has a powerful aura and a chilling presence.
Upon seeing the military rank on his uniform, the Xiao and Xia families looked alarmed.
Even Yaksha himself looked solemn.
That was the highest military rank in the province, making his identity obvious.
"The provincial garrison commander!" a member of the Xiao family exclaimed.
This is a top-level figure in the southwestern military of the Xia Kingdom, commanding a large army and holding a position no less than that of a regional governor.
Such a person rarely shows up, let alone personally come to a place like Nancheng.
The provincial garrison commander walked to the front and gave Yaksha and his men a cold look.
"The Heavenly King's Palace has broken the rules," he said, his brow furrowed, his words carrying a chilling intent.
"Commander Lu, why make such a big fuss? He's just a discarded son of the Xiao family. I will personally negotiate with the military regarding this matter of breaking the rules. There will be an explanation as required. Please forgive me, Commander Lu," Yaksha said slowly and deliberately.
He thought that the provincial garrison couldn't very well declare war on the Heavenly King Palace over such a trivial matter.
Tearing each other apart is bad for everyone.
"Take responsibility?" Lu Qingshan sneered.
"Click-clack..."
That was the sound of soldiers cocking their guns.
Yaksha's face darkened, and his brows furrowed deeply.
He doesn't understand.
It was just about killing a discarded member of the Xiao family, and he didn't even succeed. Lu Qingshan was definitely using this as an excuse to make trouble.
Just as tensions were about to rise, Xiao Chen led his men out.
Lu Qingshan immediately straightened his expression and gave Xiao Chen a military salute.
"boom!"
The Xiao and Xia families were stunned by what they saw.
What did they see?
The dignified provincial garrison commander actually took the initiative to salute Xiao Chen?
That's a high-ranking general!
How many people in this Xia Kingdom could he possibly salute willingly...?
