Chapter 1034 - 1032: Hit Someone and Want to Leave?
"This is the market," Xia Lalan said with a smile, pointing ahead. She had been here before; even after several years, it looked the same. If her grandfather hadn’t brought her here, she would never have known the market was hidden in this place.
"Wow, so this is the market!"
"How did it change so suddenly!"
"Yes, it’s really magical!"
...
The children exclaimed with unparalleled excitement. They hadn’t seen anything, yet, in the blink of an eye, the market appeared. How could this happen? It was so magical that they didn’t even know how to describe it.
"It’s nothing, just a simple concealment array," Lin Feng said nonchalantly. Indeed, it was nothing more than a simple concealment array.
"Let’s go in together." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s comment, Xia Lalan was not surprised either. She could even modify the immortal arrays within her family; if she couldn’t recognize a simple concealment array here, that would be strange. Briefly explaining, she continued to lead Lin Feng and the children towards the city tower.
In a flash, they reached the area under the city tower and found it guarded. Xia Lalan presented the Xia Family’s token, and after showing it to the guards, she easily led Lin Feng and the children into the market.
Once inside the market, its true face appeared before them: a spacious main street lined with stalls on both sides, some loose cultivators selling goods, and many shops, with signs for Tianji Pavilion, Hundred Herbs Hall, Divine Arms Hall, Thousand Machines Chamber, and more.
Upon seeing this, the children of Xia Jianwu cheered and immediately rushed to the stalls set up by the loose cultivators. Xia Lalan hadn’t expected this to happen and could only nod apologetically at Lin Feng, quickly following the children to prevent any trouble.
Truly browsing opened the eyes of Xia Jianwu’s children to many things they had never seen before—herbs, Demon Cores, materials, and even some items whose uses they did not know. They had never seen such things in their family before. It was truly extraordinary!
Seeing the children so happy, Xia Lalan smiled, feeling it was indeed good for the children to see the world in the market and gain some knowledge.
But the good times didn’t last long. As they approached another stall, Xia Jianwu saw a uniquely shaped dagger and reached out to pick it up. But just as he took it in his hand, before he could even admire it, an unexpected voice erupted.
"Put it down!"
Several children in light blue robes embroidered with the character ’Kong’ approached from afar. They had seen the dagger from a distance and were drawn to it.
"Why should I put it down?" Xia Jianwu frowned when he saw the approaching children, asking coldly. He recognized them; they were children of the Kong Family. Even if they were from the Kong Family, they had no right to command him.
The other children of the Xia Family also stood up and recognized the identities of the newcomers. Anger appeared on their faces, and they furrowed their brows; the Kong Family’s children were too arrogant. They thought they were not even allowed to look at the items—how dare they?
"Look who it is, it’s that trash from the Xia Family!"
"Exactly, what are they even doing here? Can they afford these things?"
"Right, what are they thinking? With such weak strength, they should be focusing on their cultivation instead of wandering around the market. It’s embarrassing!"
"Indeed, only the trash from the Xia Family would do something like this. How can they compare to us from the Kong Family? Well, if they want to humiliate themselves, who can stop them!"
...
Seeing Xia Jianwu and the others turn around, the children from the Kong Family laughed, recognizing them by their clothing as Xia Family’s children. They spoke rudely and arrogantly, not holding back at all. Their goal was simple: to humiliate the ’trash’ from the Xia Family, who didn’t even have an expert from the later stage of the Mortal Realm, yet dared to come to the market—it was just asking for humiliation. With their level of strength, it was better not to participate in the grand competition; it was downright disgraceful.
They indeed had a reason to be arrogant. Among the four prominent families of the Hidden World, having children break through to the later stage of Mortal Realm at such a young age was extremely rare, almost nonexistent. Yet they now had three individuals who had achieved this—a feat no other prominent family could match!
"What, what did you say!"
"Say that again!"
"How dare you talk to us like that!"
...
Upon hearing such harsh words, Xia Jianwu and his siblings immediately exploded with anger, faces flushing red as they shouted back. The insults were too much to bear; calling them trash was beyond acceptable. They, as members of the Xia Family, could not tolerate this. As they circulated their True Qi, they were ready to fight at any moment. No matter what, they couldn’t allow others to insult the Xia Family. If the Kong Family’s children didn’t apologize, they really wouldn’t be polite!
"So, you want to fight? Do you even qualify!"
"I’ll tell you why we can say this—it’s all about strength. Do you really dare to fight us?"
"You fools, make your move! I really want to see what you trash can do! You don’t even have the decency to take a look at yourselves,"
...
Seeing Xia Jianwu’s kids get furious, the children of the Kong Family couldn’t help but laugh even harder, their words became nastier and their attitude more arrogant, thinking how these trash dared to fight with them. They were just waiting for Xia Family’s kids to make a move, the sooner they did, the happier they would be.
"Beat them up!"
"Go on, beat them up!"
"Hit them!"
...
Hearing such infuriating words, Xia Jianwu’s kids immediately exploded and charged at the people from the Kong Family without holding back, as they already couldn’t stand them. With their strikes, they showed no mercy, aiming to make them kneel and beg for mercy for insulting their family and themselves.
But what Xia Jianwu and his friends couldn’t anticipate was that the situation, when they really started fighting, was not as simple as they thought...
"Bang! Ah!"
"Clang! Ah!"
"Boom! Ah!"
...
They had never imagined that even the weakest of the five or six children from the Kong Family was stronger than Xia Jianwu, and three of them were even high-level experts in the Late Mortal Realm. In just a blink of an eye, they had all been knocked down. Several were severely injured, which left Xia Jianwu and the others completely dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how the Kong Family’s children could be so powerful!
"See, they are all trash!"
"Are you convinced now?"
"Still want to fight back, how foolish!"
...
Watching Xia Jianwu and the others lying on the ground, the children from the Kong Family mocked them, thinking to themselves that Xia Family’s people indeed were all trash!
"Where is your lordship?"
At that moment, a cold voice from Xia Lalan was heard. She had just been bargaining for an item with the shopkeeper, not expecting that in the blink of an eye her children would start fighting. By the time she arrived, the kids had already been beaten.
Seeing Xia Jianwu and other kids injured, some severely, Xia Lalan emitted a cold aura, now truly angered. She could tell that these kids were from the Kong Family. Due to the rules set by the four Prominent Hidden Families, she couldn’t make a move against these children, otherwise, she would have already.
Hearing Xia Lalan’s words, the kids from the Kong Family instantly knew she was from the Xia Family, and one of them, who looked a bit older, stood up saying, "Our teacher isn’t here, hahaha, we’re not playing with you anymore!"
His attitude was still extremely arrogant; after speaking, he turned around, ready to leave with the other children. The rules of the four Prominent Hidden Families state that adults cannot strike children, and even if this lady was furious, she couldn’t lay a hand on them. They had already dealt with Xia Family’s trash; there was no need to stay, let the Xia Family stew in their anger—so satisfying!
Damn Kong Family!
Xia Lalan was livid watching these children still being so arrogant. She nearly exploded in anger. If these were adults instead of children, she would have already attacked. But even so, she was losing her patience and was about to make a move to keep these children here until the adults from the Kong Family came to explain themselves. But, just as she was about to make a move, a voice reached her ears, though it was not loud, it was exceptionally clear.
"Thinking of leaving after hitting someone? Not so easy!"
At that moment, Lin Feng arrived with Xia Jianping and others. They had also been looking at items when a child ran over telling them a fight had broken out. So, he brought Xia Jianping and the others over. Seeing these children being so arrogant after beating someone up angered him too. After coldly delivering that line, he gave Xia Jianping and others a meaningful look to go full force.
Xia Jianping and his companions, already furious seeing Xia Jianwu and others down and injured, charged at the Kong Family’s children immediately, like a pack of wolves...
The children of the Kong Family hearing the voice from behind suddenly felt displeased and turned around to throw a few more barbs, not expecting to see Xia Jianping and others charging at them. They sneered contemptuously at Xia Jianping and his group, not bothering to speak, and started to fight against them.
In their eyes, these were also Xia Family’s children, definitely no match for them. Just as they had knocked down over twenty kids before, these wouldn’t be any different! So, their movements were casual, believing they could easily take down Xia Jianping and his group.
But what they hadn’t dreamed of was that the actual fight turned out differently; though they were stronger, Xia Jianping and his group knew the Combined Strike Technique and were ferociously unimaginable, even making them feel as if they were not fighting mere children, but demon beasts...
