Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 774 775: Authority Brooks No Defiance

And now the Peak Marquis has been slapped by Gongsun Zhi into a daze, not even knowing north from south or east from west. He is even confused, why did my father-in-law slap me and not that guy?

"Dad, how can you treat the Marquis like this? He is the Long family's dragon son-in-law, and his future martial arts attainments will far surpass yours!" Gongsun Yan threw herself around the Marquis.

"He needs to survive first to be able to practice martial arts!" Gongsun Zhi coldly snorted, then smiled apologetically at Xiao Tianyu: "Little Ancestor, look at this..."

"They insulted my woman with their words!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was icy: "Do as you see fit!"

His voice carried an unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi was dumbfounded. It was clear he had already understood Xiao Tianyu's underlying meaning; Xiao Tianyu was determined to execute both Gongsun Yan and the Marquis.

"This..." Gongsun Zhi found it hard to bear. The Marquis's death was of no consequence, but Gongsun Yan was his daughter.

"Enough!" The old ancestor Gongsun Zhan roared: "Gongsun Zhi, what on earth are you doing? Are you so scared of a mere youth? The Gongsun family does not need a descendant like you, get out!"

"Dad!"

"Get out!"

"Listen to me!"

"Grandfather, don't listen to him. He's just a coward!" Gongsun Yan interrupted: "This one killed my lord father; he must die no matter what!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi was filled with distress. Why won't these people let me finish what I have to say? Also, do they really want the Gongsun family to be erased from the Imperial Capital?

"Looks like I'll have to take matters into my own hands!" At this moment, Xiao Tianyu spoke indifferently.

After a moment of surprise, the old ancestor of Gongsun shouted: "Insolent! Do you really think there's no one in the Gongsun family?"

With that said, a towering aura emanated from Gongsun Zhan's body. It had been many years since he had made a move, and he never expected he would have to act against a younger generation today. But so what, someone dared to come to his Gongsun family to take people and killed Wang Xiao. How could Gongsun Zhan let this slide?

"Dad, don't!" Gongsun Zhi indicated panic and clung to Gongsun Zhan's leg, saying: "He is..."

"Shut up! I, Gongsun Zhan, do not have a son like you!" Gongsun Zhan shouted explosively.

"..." Gongsun Zhi was utterly frustrated. Why won't they let me finish speaking? Moreover, Dad, if you make a move now, the Gongsun family is doomed!

However, Gongsun Zhan would not spare Xiao Tianyu, just because Gongsun Zhi clung to his leg.

Immediately, Gongsun Zhan took a step, his aura surged, directly sending Gongsun Zhi flying, and then, his body lunged toward Xiao Tianyu, bringing a gust of wind.

At this, Gongsun Zhi was dumbfounded. How could I have such an unperceptive father? Eldest Young Master Xiao, don't give me face, please thoroughly whip my dad, seriously, I'm serious.

Sure enough, just as Gongsun Zhan's body was lunging forward, Xiao Tianyu raised his hand and unleashed a slap. Though seemingly ordinary, this slap contained a terrifying force, breaking through all defenses instantly.

Slap~

A crisp sound echoed, landing directly on Gongsun Zhan's face. In front of everyone's eyes, Gongsun Zhan's body was sent flying, directly crashing into a stone pillar, spewing a mouthful of blood, nearly fainting.

Damn? What kind of ridiculous situation is this, for the Gongsun family elder to be sent flying with a single slap? Isn't this too dramatic?

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned, revealing a look of shock. Since when was the Gongsun family elder so useless?

Now, the Gongsun family elder was also completely dumbfounded, as he had just felt the threat of death from Xiao Tianyu's slap. He even thought Xiao Tianyu had spared his life on purpose. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a slap.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Zhan stood up, his gaze filled with fear.

"Dad, he... he is Xiao Tianyu!" Gongsun Zhi supported Gongsun Zhan, whispering.

"What, Xiao Tianyu?"

"Yes!" Gongsun Zhi nodded.

Bam~

Immediately, Gongsun Zhan lost his balance, collapsing to the ground once more. Oh my god, who did I just fight with? It was this young ancestor, as it turns out. How could this happen?

Although Gongsun Zhan had not been involved in the Long family matter, the name of Xiao Tianyu was long renowned. This was a youth who dared to kill the Peak Saint Heaven Realm strongmen of the Four Great Institutes. What did Gongsun Zhan amount to?

Subsequently, Gongsun Zhan said to Gongsun Zhi: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Did you give me a chance to speak?"

Gongsun Zhan glared fiercely at Gongsun Zhi. Damn it, I tried to say it several times, but you kept interrupting me; can you blame me for this? Now it's just great, the young ancestor is offended, and the Gongsun family is done for.

Especially when recalling earlier words spoken to Xiao Tianyu, Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but feel despair. Was he worthy to judge Xiao Tianyu, yet now, he could only await judgment from Xiao Tianyu.

"Now, may I take them?" Xiao Tianyu's voice remained indifferent, yet it contained an irresistible authority, causing the old ancestor Gongsun Zhan's heart to tremble. He clearly felt the resolute intent within Xiao Tianyu's speech.

This day should have been Gongsun Zhan's two-hundred-year birthday banquet, but due to Xiao Tianyu's arrival, it was likely to become a funeral feast. So what, they had offended someone they should not have offended.

Subsequently, Gongsun Zhan spoke: "Could you spare them a path of life?"

Could you spare them a path of life?

This statement reverberated mercilessly in everyone's minds. Did the old ancestor Gongsun Zhan just compromise? Those two were the most outstanding individuals of the Gongsun family, yet they are to be handed over so easily?

At this moment, everyone in the grand hall was shocked. This youth came and caused such a commotion at the birthday banquet, and the Gongsun family compromised. If this news spreads, it would likely cause a massive wave in the Imperial Capital.

"What do you think?" Xiao Tianyu's voice remained as indifferent as ever.

"Alright!" Gongsun Zhan shouted explosively, raising his hand and pressing towards the Marquis.

Feeling the oppressive palm seal approaching, the Marquis was utterly dumbfounded. How could this happen? Wasn't the Gongsun family supposed to protect me? I am the most dazzling son-in-law of the Gongsun family.

"No..." The Marquis howled, overwhelmed by despair and regret. He never expected this to be his end.

"Grandfather, don't!" Gongsun Yan was also bewildered.

Boom~

The palm seal fell with a loud bang, and the Marquis's body was directly reduced to mush by the Gongsun family elder, leaving no corpse behind.

The son-in-law of the Gongsun family, a prodigy of a generation, died just like that?

Everyone trembled, thinking Xiao Tianyu was courting death when he came. However now? Gongsun Zhan personally executed the Marquis. But it was understandable, for the protection of the Gongsun family, the Marquis had to die.

Why did it have to end like this?

Wailing~

Seeing the miserably dead Marquis, Gongsun Yan burst into tears, never having imagined such an outcome. She never expected her man to die at the hands of her own family.

"Are you satisfied now?" Gongsun Zhan asked Xiao Tianyu.

"There is still one more!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was indifferent, his expression placid.
