Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 768 - 769: Marquis

Wang Cheng, however, was so scared that his legs turned to jelly, and he could barely walk, let alone escape.

Thus, Wang Cheng spoke up, "Hey guard, help me up quickly. I don't want to die yet. Hey, hey, hey~ I feel like my legs aren't even attached to my body anymore!"

At these words, several guards were dumbfounded. Wasn't the young master just mighty and extraordinary? Why didn't he have the courage to run away anymore? Seems like he's scared stupid.

Buzz~

At this moment, a fierce wind howled up, followed by the sound of footsteps, each step seemingly containing a terrifying, icy killing intent that chilled the soul.

Shwoosh shwoosh~

Soon, everyone saw Xiao Tianyu's figure slowly approaching Wang Cheng, like an Asura King emerging from Hell.

"Sir, we apologize for the offense just now, but please stay your hand!" A guard at the Celestial Realm spoke to the approaching Xiao Tianyu, "Our young master is of the Wang Family and is the Marquis's only brother. If you dare act recklessly, you won't meet a good end!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Tianyu sneered coldly, his large hand reaching out towards the Celestial Realm guard, enveloping everything. Instantly, the guard's expression turned to despair, "You dare!"

Splat~

Before the words could fully leave his mouth, the Celestial Realm guard's body was torn apart, and blood splattered directly onto Wang Cheng's face, causing Wang Cheng to scream repeatedly, "No, no, no, no..."

"Someone as lowly as you still dreams of laying your hands on my woman?" Xiao Tianyu's deep gaze fixed on Wang Cheng, his voice as cold as ice, making hearts tremble. At this moment, no one dared to meet Xiao Tianyu's eyes.

"Great Master, I was the one being offensive just now. Please forgive me, or… or… in the future, I won't appear in front of you!"

Wang Cheng begged for mercy, scared out of his wits. He was Wang Cheng, a prodigy of the Wang Family, with boundless prospects, and he didn't want to die just like that.

Little did he know, the moment he insulted Shangguan Biyue and the others, his fate was already set.

Seeing that Xiao Tianyu wasn't paying attention, Wang Cheng immediately took out the Beiming Divine Skill Manual and said, "This manual is yours. How about I return it to you now!"

"Too late!" Xiao Tianyu said coldly, then slowly pressed his large hand down, leaving Wang Cheng dumbfounded, "No, don't..."

"Impudent!" Two guards shouted in alarm.

If Wang Cheng were to die, they, as his bodyguards, wouldn't survive either. They had no choice but to fight.

In an instant, the two guards attacked Xiao Tianyu, but in the next second, they found their hand seals were directly obliterated by Xiao Tianyu.

Splat~

In the next second, there was a light sound, and the right arms of the two guards flew off in mid-air, blood spilling continuously as they screamed in agony.

"What a terrifying heart of slaughter!" The onlookers were completely shocked by Xiao Tianyu's methods, and at the same time, they secretly thought that Wang Cheng had kicked an iron board this time. Even if he didn't die, he would probably lose half his life.

Seeing yet another two guards lose an arm to Xiao Tianyu, the sense of despair in Wang Cheng's eyes grew even stronger. His body kept inching along the ground, utterly humble, with none of his previous arrogance.

Seeing Xiao Tianyu stepping closer, Wang Cheng shouted, "Don't come any closer! If you kill me, my brother won't spare you. Besides, my brother is the son-in-law of the Gongsun Family, which is filled with powerful members!"

"If the Gongsun Family knows about this, you will be the first one they kill!" Xiao Tianyu said coldly.

At these words, the crowd couldn't help but be stunned. If the Gongsun Family knows, Wang Cheng would be the first one they kill? This... is this a joke? Could it be that this guy has a deep background as well, so much so that even the Gongsun Family doesn't dare offend him?

"Such arrogant boasts!"

At that moment, a voice broke through the air, and everyone's expressions trembled slightly as they turned their gaze. They saw a group striding over, making quite a few people nervous, "It's the Marquis, the Marquis is here!"

"The one beside the Marquis should be the Marquis's wife, the Gongsun Family's daughter, Gongsun Yan, right?"

"It's them, it should be right!"

"..."

With the arrival of the Marquis, the onlookers sensibly made way, their gazes conveying respect. Moreover, behind the Marquis and the Gongsun Family were two elderly figures.

These two elders were obviously there to protect them.

Seeing this scene, Wang Cheng was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Brother, save me!"

Hearing this, the Marquis's sharp gaze swept over Wang Cheng, seeing him covered in blood and in a sorry state. Instantly, the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised. He turned his gaze to Xiao Tianyu, speaking coldly, "Are you responsible for this?"

However, Xiao Tianyu didn't respond. Instead, his large hand continued slowly reaching for Wang Cheng, causing the Marquis to frown slightly, "I'm here and you still wish to execute my brother? How reckless!"

With that, the Marquis's figure flashed, blocking Wang Cheng and helping him up. When he found Wang Cheng's body still trembling and greatly frightened, his inner rage only grew more intense.

He had only this one brother, whom he had cherished with utmost care. Now, he was scared into such a state by someone, how could he not be furious?

With a sharp gaze, the Marquis looked up, fixing on Xiao Tianyu, speaking coldly, "What crime should you be charged with?"

This was a pronouncement; the Marquis was pronouncing judgment on Xiao Tianyu, asking what crime he should bear, which was undoubtedly an indication of the Marquis's domineering nature. But one couldn't be surprised, given the Marquis had two Saint Heaven Realm guards behind him. Who would dare provoke him?

"So you're the Marquis?" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"Precisely!"

"The son-in-law of the Gongsun Family?" Xiao Tianyu asked again.

Splat~

However, at this moment, Gongsun Yan chuckled, seemingly finding Xiao Tianyu's words amusing.

Then, Gongsun Yan's beautiful eyes looked towards Xiao Tianyu, but upon seeing him, she was stunned by his exceptionally handsome appearance.

"So handsome!"

A hint of greed flashed in Gongsun Yan's beautiful eyes. Such a handsome man seemed like he only existed in heaven, and how often could one lay eyes on such a person? However, handsome as he was, Gongsun Yan was already a married woman.

Then, Gongsun Yan smiled slightly and said, "Are you telling me you don't even know the Gongsun Family?"

"And who are you?" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"The eldest daughter of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Yan!" As she spoke, a hint of arrogance flashed in Gongsun Yan's beautiful eyes, like a princess; she continued, "Now, my husband's brother was almost killed by you. This bill will probably not be settled so easily..."

However, before Gongsun Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Tianyu's voice came in flatly, "Does your father know you want to settle scores with me?"

Uh?

At these words, Gongsun Yan was taken aback. She hadn't expected Xiao Tianyu to say something like that, which did surprise her quite a bit.

"Insolent!" At that moment, an elderly figure beside Gongsun Yan shouted, "Even the eldest daughter is for you to offend? Lose an arm and be gone!"

"No... I want him dead!" Wang Cheng's expression was venomous. If his brother had come a moment later, he would have been dead. Now, how could he easily let Xiao Tianyu go?

He continued, "And those women behind you, after I've had my fun with them, I want them all to be buried with you!"
