Chapter 8 You can't kill me!
Xiao Ze walked out of the room. It was still early, and the sunlight had just begun to shine into the Xiao family's courtyard.
He was preparing to go to the Xiao family's training ground to stretch his muscles and bones. After breaking through to the first-star Dou Ling, the Dou Qi in his body was much stronger than before, and he needed some time to adapt to this power.
"Brother Xiao Ze."
A voice came from the side.
Xiao Ze turned his head, and Xiao Xun'er was walking towards him.
She wore a long cyan dress, and a faint smile graced her cool and aloof face.
"Xun'er?" Xiao Ze asked, "Is there something you need so early?"
"Is Brother Xiao Ze free today?" Xiao Xun'er asked.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to go to the Xiao family's market," Xiao Xun'er said. "Brother Xiao Ze, will you come with me?"
Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Xun'er and nodded.
"it is good."
Xiao Family Market is located east of Wutan City, and it is one of the most important businesses of the Xiao family.
The market sells everything imaginable: medicinal herbs, elixirs, fighting techniques, weapons, and all sorts of cultivation resources.
Many mercenaries in Wutan City are used to buying things at Xiao Family Market.
Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er walked on the streets of the market.
Xiao Xun'er walked ahead, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the various stalls.
Xiao Ze followed behind, looking at Xiao Xun'er's curious expression, and felt a little emotional.
Xiao Xun'er usually had a cold and aloof demeanor at the Xiao family home, and she didn't pay much attention to anyone. But when she arrived at the market, she was like an ordinary young girl, wanting to stop and look at everything she saw.
"Brother Xiao Ze, look at this." Xiao Xun'er stopped in front of a stall and pointed to a bracelet on it.
The bracelet was made of wood, and although the workmanship wasn't particularly exquisite, it had a rustic charm.
Xiao Xun'er picked it up and gestured with it in her hand.
"Do you like it?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Mm." Xiao Xun'er nodded.
"Boss, how much is this?" Xiao Ze asked the stall owner.
"Brother Xiao Ze, I can do it myself," Xiao Xun'er said.
"I'll take you," Xiao Ze said.
Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Ze, a smile appearing on her face.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ze."
Just as Xiao Ze was about to speak, a voice came from behind him.
"Oh, Xiao Ze, this is the kind of thing you give Xun'er?"
Xiao Ze turned his head, and Galeo was standing not far away.
Behind Galeo were several guards from the Galeo family, all of whom were eyeing Xiao Ze menacingly.
Galeo is the young master of the Galeo family, and he has always been arrogant and domineering in Utan City.
The Xiao family and the Jia family are rivals, and the relationship between the two families has never been good.
Galeo looked at the wooden bracelet in Xiao Ze's hand, his face full of mockery.
"How dare you give away such trash?" Galeo said.
Xiao Ze looked at Galeo, but he didn't say anything.
Galeo walked up to Xiao Xun'er, forcing a smile onto his face.
"Xun'er, this kind of trash doesn't deserve you," Galeo said. "I'll give you something better."
Galeo pulled a bracelet from his pocket. It was entirely emerald green and inlaid with several gemstones, clearly very valuable.
"This was bought at the Mittel auction house," Galeo said. "Xun'er, take a look and see if you like it."
Xiao Xun'er looked at Galeo and said calmly, "No need."
Galeo's smile froze.
"Xun'er, this is quite an expensive bracelet, and it even has the effect of restoring battle qi," Galeo said. "It's much better than his trashy bracelet."
"I said it's not necessary," Xiao Xun'er said.
Galeo's expression was rather unpleasant.
Galeo turned his head and looked at Xiao Ze with hostility in his eyes.
"Xiao Ze, what right do you, a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, have to stand beside Xun'er?" Galeo said coldly.
"What's it to you?" Xiao Ze said.
"You..." Galeo roared in anger.
"Galio, I advise you to stay away from me," Xiao Ze said.
Upon hearing this, Galeo's face darkened completely.
"Xiao Ze, who do you think you are?" Galeo said. "How dare a piece of trash talk to me like that?"
Galeo turned his head and looked at the guards behind him.
"You guys, cripple him."
The guards exchanged glances and walked towards Xiao Ze.
The guards unleashed their battle qi; three of them were Dou Zhe (two one-star Dou Zhe and one two-star Dou Zhe), a level of strength that was not weak in Wutan City.
"Brother Xiao Ze." Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly.
"It's alright," Xiao Ze said.
Several guards rushed towards Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze watched them rush towards him, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
boom!
The guard at the front was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground, motionless.
The other guards' expressions changed; they hadn't even reacted yet.
Xiao Ze's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of them.
One palm strike, two palm strikes, three palm strikes.
Several muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, and all the guards fell to the ground, none of them able to get up.
Galeo stood there, completely stunned.
How is that possible? His guards are all Dou Zhe level, how could Xiao Ze, a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, kill them all with one palm?
"You...you..." Galeo's voice trembled.
Galeo gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Xiao Ze, how dare you kill someone from my Jia Lie family?" Jia Lie'ao roared.
"So what if I kill him?" Xiao Ze said.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
boom!
Galeo spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
"No...don't kill me..." Galeo pleaded.
Xiao Ze walked up to Galeo and looked down at him.
"Xiao Ze, you can't kill me," Galeo said. "I am the young master of the Galeo family. If you kill me, the Galeo family will not let you off."
Xiao Ze remained silent.
"My father is the patriarch of the Galeo family, and he will definitely avenge me," Galeo said. "Let me go, and we'll pretend this never happened."
Xiao Ze looked at Galeo and said calmly, "Are you done?"
Galeo was taken aback.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and slapped down.
Galeo's eyes widened, his body twitched, and then he stopped moving.
Xiao Xun'er stood aside, looking at Xiao Ze with surprise in her eyes.
Xiao Xun'er didn't expect Xiao Ze to kill Galeo directly, and she was even more surprised that Xiao Ze was so strong.
Those guards, all at the Dou Zhe level, couldn't even withstand a single move from Xiao Ze.
Brother Xiao Ze, when did you become so strong?
"Let's go." Xiao Ze turned around and looked at Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Xun'er nodded.
The two left the market and headed towards the Xiao family's residence.
The main hall of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, with several elders sitting on either side.
The Grand Elder's expression was rather unpleasant.
A guard rushed in from outside.
"Chief, something terrible has happened!" the guard said.
"What is it?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"The Fourth Young Master killed Galeo," the guard said.
The teacup in Xiao Zhan's hand fell directly to the ground.
The elders all stood up as well.
"What did you say?" The elder looked at the guard in disbelief.
"The Fourth Young Master killed Galeo," the guard repeated.
The hall was deathly silent.
Xiao Zhan's expression changed completely. Jia Lie'ao was the young master of the Jia Lie family, the son of Jia Liebi, the patriarch of the Jia Lie family. If Xiao Ze killed him, the Jia Lie family would definitely not let it go.
"Where is Xiao Ze now?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"The Fourth Young Master has returned to the Xiao family," the guard said.
The Grand Elder looked at Xiao Zhan with a gloomy expression.
"Clan leader, look at the mess your son has made," the eldest elder said.
"Now is not the time to talk about this," Xiao Zhan said. "The Jia Lie family must have already received the news. We need to be prepared."
The elders all looked grim.
The Jia Lie family is no less powerful than the Xiao family. Since Xiao Ze killed Jia Lie Ao, a conflict between the two families is inevitable.
