Chapter 132: Chapter 129: All of You Will Die
In the pavilion, the brother and sister embraced, oblivious to the stares of everyone around them, as if they were the only two people left in the world.
"This!"
Li Xiuxiang, who had brought Ning Jiang here, was stunned. "Are they really just brother and sister?" she said in disbelief. "They look more like lovers."
At this thought, she smiled, feeling as if her scheme had succeeded. ’Good, good. Now things have really blown up. Let’s see how Ning Yu’an is going to get out of this one.’
She had brought Ning Jiang here with ill intentions from the start, so naturally, she hoped the situation would escalate as much as possible.
At that moment, everyone in the pavilion wore an ashen expression.
"The White Head Sword Sect?"
Huangfu Xiao gritted his teeth. He had already guessed Ning Jiang’s identity.
And seeing them embrace like that, even a fool could tell their relationship was far from ordinary.
"Ning Yu’an, who is he? Do you have any idea what you’re doing right now?!"
One of Ning Yu’an’s uncles spoke sharply. Ning Yu’an was supposed to be married to Huangfu Xiao; an act like this would surely infuriate the Huangfu Family to the greatest possible extent.
"This person is from the Ning Family of Baiquan Town. He claims to be Ning Yu’an’s younger brother," Li Xiuxiang said at this moment.
"No need to ask. I think I understand now."
Li Tongguang’s gaze turned cold as he said, "This must be the one Ning Changfeng came to our Li Family to ask for help saving, right? He isn’t even a member of the Ning Family, just an adopted son Ning Changfeng picked up from somewhere."
"Picked up? So, you’re saying he’s just a bastard with no background?" Ning Yu’an’s aunt sneered.
"Hehe, it seems you all are unaware. He has another identity: the previous head of the Famous Family List, the White Head Sword Sect’s Ning Jiang," Young Master Floating Snow said.
"What?"
The members of the Li Family were instantly stunned.
The White Head Sword Sect’s Ning Jiang, a Sword Sect member at sixteen, had once shaken Cyan Cloud, a fact they had all heard about.
But later, the master of the White Head Sword Sect was supposedly killed by a mysterious Spirit Realm Powerhouse, earning him the title of the shortest-reigning head of the Famous Family List and becoming the subject of much ridicule.
’I can’t believe he has such a background,’ Li Xiuxiang thought, secretly astonished.
Li Shiyu also sized up Ning Jiang. She had to admit that becoming a Sword Sect member at sixteen was such an astonishing achievement that it made even her feel inadequate.
Now, seeing Ning Jiang in person, she couldn’t discern his level of cultivation at all.
But six months ago, Ning Jiang was at the Postnatal Peak. He couldn’t have gotten much stronger since then.
"Brat, you just said you wanted us to kneel and apologize? You’ve got some nerve."
Huangfu Xiao took a step forward, his aura pressing down. "The one who should be kneeling is you!"
His eyes were filled with the flames of jealousy. He now suspected that the reason Ning Yu’an had refused the marriage alliance was likely because of Ning Jiang.
"Sister An, leave everything to me now."
Ning Jiang ignored Huangfu Xiao, gently brushing his fingers across Ning Yu’an’s cheek to wipe away her tears.
"Mm."
Ning Yu’an’s pretty face flushed slightly as she moved to stand behind Ning Jiang.
"You little bastard, what is your relationship with Ning Yu’an? She is supposed to marry Young Master Huangfu! What the hell are you?!" Ning Yu’an’s uncle shouted.
"Some bastard from who knows where. I say we just break his legs and throw him out," said Ning Yu’an’s aunt.
"Brother Huangfu, everyone, my Li Family will give the Huangfu Family an explanation for this matter. I hope this won’t affect the marriage alliance between our two families."
Even at this moment, Li Tongguang was still worried about offending the Huangfu Family, addressing his words to them.
"An explanation? You’re the ones who owe me an explanation!"
At this, Ning Jiang spoke, his gaze as sharp as a sword. "You call yourselves Sister An’s family, yet you disregard her wishes and treat her as a tool for a marriage alliance. Don’t you feel any shame for hurting her like this?"
"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that? Even Ning Changfeng wouldn’t dare."
Li Tongguang snorted coldly, his presence imposing. "Ning Yu’an is a member of my Li Family. As her elder, I naturally have the right to decide her marriage. What’s more, given Huangfu Xiao’s status, marrying him is a great opportunity for her to climb the social ladder. What do I have to be ashamed of?"
"What do you have to be ashamed of? Spoken like a true old bastard. Then again, you were ruthless enough to break ties with my adoptive mother and expel her from the Li Family. After Sister An was born, you never once thought to visit. That says everything about what kind of person you are."
Ning Jiang’s face was filled with contempt as he shook his head repeatedly.
"You whelp!"
All the members of the Li Family were furious.
Ning Yu’an’s uncle stepped forward and berated him loudly, "Bastard, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you speak to our father like that!"
"How did Ning Changfeng manage to raise such an ill-mannered brat?" Ning Yu’an’s aunt said, her eyes filled with disdain.
’It’s really kicking off now. But I think this kid is a dead man.’
Li Xiuxiang watched from the side, overjoyed. She hadn’t expected Ning Jiang to be so arrogant, daring to confront everyone right from the start.
"Hehehehe, what kind of person am I?"
Ning Jiang began to laugh, his eyes growing colder and colder with his smile. "Soon, you will know exactly what kind of existence I am. And then, you will understand the taste of fear!"
"I’ll say it one more time: kneel, kowtow, and beg for Sister An’s forgiveness!"
Ning Jiang roared, his voice like a clap of thunder.
Everyone sneered, thinking Ning Jiang must be insane. ’You think just because you’re of the White Head Sword Sect, you can challenge us?’
’Just a mere Postnatal Peak. Six months have passed, how much stronger could you possibly be?’
"Do you think you’re Sword King Chu Bai?" Young Master Floating Snow said with disdain.
Only Ning Yu’an suddenly grabbed Ning Jiang’s clothes. She knew that her little brother didn’t make empty threats!
"Ning Yu’an, are you scared? No need to plead with us. No matter what, this boy dies today."
Ning Yu’an’s uncle said coldly, believing she had grabbed Ning Jiang’s clothes out of fear.
"Sister An, I know you can’t bear it, but since they don’t treat you like family, why should you care if they live or die? The kind are always bullied, and I will never allow them to bully you like this!"
Ning Jiang gently pried Ning Yu’an’s small hands away and took a step forward. "The Li Family has disappointed me too much. Today, I have no choice but to go on a killing spree. I will use your blood to atone for the grievances Sister An has suffered!"
"You’re courting death! Let’s see if you’re still so arrogant after I capture you."
Ning Yu’an’s uncle strode forward, the ferocious aura of the Innate Late Stage erupting from him as he threw a vicious punch at Ning Jiang.
"Six months have passed. At most, your cultivation is only at the Innate Realm. How strong can you be? It’s laughable that people compare you to me. They don’t realize my cultivation is enough to slap you to death..." Young Master Floating Snow shook his head.
BANG.
Before he could finish his sentence, Ning Yu’an’s uncle’s entire body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
"What!"
In that instant, everyone was horrified.
They had seen Ning Jiang simply standing there, throwing a single, simple punch.
"This is... the Innate Limit?"
Young Master Floating Snow’s eyes went wide. His earlier words felt like a slap across his own face.
"How is that possible?"
Huangfu Xiao’s face turned pale. ’The Innate Limit at sixteen? He must be the youngest in the entire Cyan Cloud Country!’
Li Tongguang and everyone behind him stared at Ning Jiang as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Shiyu’s pupils constricted, and Li Xiuxiang slapped a hand over her mouth.
"Insolent! Do you think you’re invincible just because you’re at the Innate Limit? I’m at the Innate Limit too! I’ll fight you!"
Huangfu Xiao roared, his fighting spirit surging.
"Kill!"
He summoned all his aura, the Innate Gang Yuan in his body erupting desperately. "Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Fist!"
This was the strongest blow he had ever unleashed in his life, a condensation of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
He saw Ning Jiang as an unprecedented enemy, and this, combined with his jealousy, made his punch far more powerful than ever before.
"Like a pig or a dog."
Without even looking, Ning Jiang’s fist glowed with a brilliant golden light, like a miniature sun, dazzling all who saw it and illuminating the area.
BOOM.
Their fists met with a deafening sound. Huangfu Xiao’s entire arm exploded into a mist of blood, and the bones throughout his body shattered with a CRACKLE, sending him flying backward like a broken kite.
"He’s that strong?"
Even Young Master Floating Snow couldn’t remain seated at this moment.
With his own strength, he could at best defeat Huangfu Xiao with one punch. But to heavily wound him and beat him half to death in a single blow was far beyond his capabilities.
One person came to his mind: Young Master Soaring Dragon!
Only Young Master Soaring Dragon, the leader of the Nine Great Young Masters, possessed such world-shaking power!
’Just what kind of monster is this person?’
"If you go on a killing spree here, neither the Li Family nor the Huangfu Family will let you go!"
Ning Yu’an’s aunt shrieked, her eyes filled with terror.
"The Li Family? The Huangfu Family? What do they amount to? You all probably think you’re the Earth Emperors of Golden Cauldron City, allowing you to be high and mighty and look down on everyone. Today, I’ll drag you down from your high horse and stomp you into the ground!"
Taking in everyone’s horrified expressions, Ning Jiang’s eyes were completely indifferent. "Savor the fear that is to come. All of you are going to die!"
As his voice fell, he took a step forward, and an immense, suffocating aura swept out from him, blanketing everything.
At this very moment, Ning Jiang’s edge was fully revealed. He was like a drawn Divine Sword, ready to slay gods and buddhas who stood in his way.
Finally, fear appeared on everyone’s faces!
