Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 972 973: Vengeance

As for Marquis Zhao, he watched everything, showing no intention of intervening.

"Die!" Liu Yan snorted coldly, and her jade-like hand hurled an arm forward. Instantly, a fierce wind rose, the blood-soaked arm slicing through the air with deadly force, hurtling towards the guard.

Seeing this, the guard was desperate. Before he could call for help, the arm pierced through his chest, carrying a splash of crimson, then embedding deeply into the wall.

After killing one person, Liu Yan's beautiful eyes showed no emotion. Her gaze shifted to another guard, and she stepped forward, creating a dazzling afterimage as she charged at him.

That guard seemed to be terrified by the scene, completely forgetting to retaliate.

The fierce wind swept by, and Liu Yan's slender jade hand gripped his throat. With a flick of her wrist, crack~ the guard's neck was twisted off, and his body slowly collapsed at Liu Yan's feet.

Clap clap clap~

After Liu Yan killed two Celestial Realm guards, applause sounded in the living room.

Then, Marquis Zhao spoke with a smile, "Coming from the Haotian Sect, your talent is indeed extraordinary. However, you still need to hand over the Jade Seal!"

"If you want the Jade Seal, come and get it!" Liu Yan shouted, the killing intent in her beautiful eyes unhidden. However, Marquis Zhao laughed indifferently, saying to the elder behind him, "Ren Laow, you take action!"

"Yes, Marquis!" Ren Lao nodded.

Ren Lao was a First Layer Martial King, considered top-tier in Cangye Kingdom, where the highest level was Martial Emperor.

Seeing this, Liu Yan's expression turned grim. She was only at the Celestial Realm, undoubtedly an ant under his hand, easily crushed. So how could she fight?

"Princess, I advise you to hand over the Jade Seal. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices!" Ren Lao's aged eyes stared at Liu Yan, who coldly retorted, "I don't have the Jade Seal. If you want to kill, just do it!"

Having Liu Yan personally hand over the Jade Seal was impossible.

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Ren Lao stepped forward, lifting his hand to grab Liu Yan. A storm swept in, his large hand enveloping Liu Yan, causing a trace of despair to flash in her beautiful eyes.

Then, Liu Yan slowly closed her eyes, seemingly awaiting judgment.

Swoosh~

However, at that instant, an unidentified object broke through the window, exuding a chilling aura of death, annihilating everything.

Seeing this, Ren Lao was shocked, immediately withdrawing his attack, forming a defensive armor shield around himself. Bang bang~ However, the armor shield shattered instantly; it couldn't withstand the unidentified object.

Thud~

With a soft sound, the unidentified object embedded deeply into Ren Lao's skull. Without even a drop of blood flowing, Ren Lao collapsed with a desperate expression, dead.

Everyone was stunned.

Seeing this, Marquis Zhao and other experts were dumbfounded. An unidentified object directly killed a Martial King-level expert — how could they not be shocked?

Subsequently, Marquis Zhao walked over to Ren Lao's body, reaching out to extract the unidentified object from his skull. On the front was one yuan, and on the back was the Huaxia People's Bank.

Without a doubt, this unidentified object was a coin, and it came from Huaxia.

After a moment of astonishment, Liu Yan saw that Ren Lao's claw had not fallen, so she opened her beautiful eyes. However, upon opening them, she was completely terrified. That old man, dead?

What's going on? Is someone helping in secret? Could it be that guy?

Liu Yan's beautiful eyes scanned outside the window, and sure enough, a young figure floated in like a ghost, slowly landed beside Liu Yan, looking at her with a slight smile, "Are you satisfied now?"

"How could I know that Liu Xiang would…" Liu Yan faltered, her beautiful eyes glancing at Liu Xiang's body, then her delicate body fell into Xiao Tianyu's arms, clear tears sliding down again.

At this moment, Liu Yan was no longer the decisive and ruthless woman she was before; she was like a bullied little girl.

"Who are you?" At this moment, Marquis Zhao looked at Xiao Tianyu, seeing his extraordinary bearing, and a sense of unease arose in his heart. However, Xiao Tianyu's gaze turned to Marquis Zhao, the sharp eyes seemingly piercing through everything, instilling fear in Marquis Zhao.

Thus, Marquis Zhao asked again, "Who exactly are you? Do you know we are people of the Southern King?"

"..." Xiao Tianyu remained silent, then turned his gaze away, treating him like a fool and ignoring him. He turned to Liu Yan, saying, "Beautiful teacher, how should we deal with them?"

Beautiful teacher, how should we deal with them?

From these words, it was not hard to hear that Xiao Tianyu did not take them seriously.

"Arrogant!" A Martial King behind Marquis Zhao snorted, "Let's see how you deal with me!"

With that, the Martial King stepped forward, his aura roaring, a terrifying force sweeping out. Then a gigantic Palm Seal descended upon Xiao Tianyu.

However, Xiao Tianyu waved his hand, and another coin, with dazzling brilliance, shot out with lethal intent. Bang bang~ The Palm Seal instantly shattered, and the coin pierced through the Martial King's forehead, bringing a splash of crimson.

The Martial King showed disbelief as he fell into a pool of blood.

However, Xiao Tianyu didn't glance at him.

This scene, however, filled Marquis Zhao's heart with even more fear. He wasn't stupid; from just that one strike, he could sense the other party was very strong, not on the same level as him.

"Sir…"

"Xiao Tianyu!" Xiao Tianyu interrupted directly.

What, Xiao Tianyu?

Upon hearing this, Marquis Zhao was completely stunned. Although he had never seen Xiao Tianyu himself, the name of Xiao Tianyu was renowned. On the battle stage of the Imperial Palace, Xiao Tianyu demonstrated the strength of a Ninth Layer Martial King, killing several Martial King experts of the Great Ming Immortal Sect.

This matter had long spread.

"I must avenge Liu Xiang!" At this moment, Liu Yan coldly uttered, because of them, Liu Xiang wouldn't have died.

"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, his gaze sweeping over Marquis Zhao. With just a glance, Marquis Zhao and others felt as if they were sealed in ice. This gaze was terrifying; aside from its lethal intent, it held nothing else.

"Sir, I, Marquis Zhao, have no enmity with you, why must you…"

A fierce wind howled, and Xiao Tianyu directly reached out, grabbing at Marquis Zhao. Suddenly, Marquis Zhao felt his entire body bound by a terrifying force, lifting him into the air against his will.

"No…"

He struggled, he roared, he was unwilling. He was a marquis, a high-ranking figure, he did not want to die just like this.

Bang~

In the next second, Marquis Zhao's body was reduced to a mist of blood, leaving no corpse behind.

Seeing this, the others were filled with boundless panic. Even Marquis Zhao was dead, let alone them?

Thud~

Thud~

In an instant, the remaining people all fell to their knees, continuously kowtowing, "Spare us, Princess! All of this was orchestrated by Marquis Zhao, we were just following orders, it's not our business!"

"Scram!" Liu Yan shouted, and the remaining people, as if receiving a royal pardon, scrambled away.
