Xiao Yufan’s voice was icy, causing Guo Junyu and the old dog to involuntarily break into a cold sweat behind their backs. To them, the latter had now become an invincible, transcendent presence. Who could have the audacity to step forward when even Guo Chen had nearly been killed by Xiao Yufan?
“This seems to violate the rules, doesn’t it? Although the Ancient Martial Arts Conference is a competition among young people, it doesn’t mean you can challenge anyone you want…”
“Old dog, you sure love to talk nonsense!”
Before Guo Hongguang could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan’s cold snort rang out sharply. His already grim expression turned completely dark. As the hidden head of the Guo family, to be so openly humiliated by a junior generation member, one could only imagine the storm raging in his heart.
Ning, the殿Lord from the Eastern Holy殿, twitched his lips slightly. This young man was truly… unconventional!
“Youngster, don’t think that just because you have some strength, you can do as you please in our Hidden Guo family. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what will you do to my grandson, the Silver Fox’s descendant? If it weren’t for the Ancient Martial Arts Conference happening now, your Hidden Guo family wouldn’t even have a chicken or a dog left unscathed!”
The old master Situ’s gaze rested on Guo Hongguang, brimming with an indescribable arrogance. After hearing those words, Guo Hongguang’s face turned even uglier than a pig’s liver.
This young man was the grandson of the Silver Fox Lingyu—how could he dare to get angry? How could he dare to make a move?
At this moment, Guo Hongguang was extremely embarrassed. Under the threat of Old Master Situ, he didn’t even know what to say. No matter how powerful the Hidden Guo family was, they dared not confront the Heaven Alliance head-on.
“Brother Lingyu, please calm down first. I believe Guo Clan Leader won’t hold a grudge against a junior. It seems your two families have some old feud. Ultimately, it depends on Guo Clan Leader’s decision!”
After all, the Ancient Martial Arts Conference was no trivial matter. Ning, the Hall Master, smiled slightly toward Old Master Situ, then shifted his gaze to Guo Hongguang, hoping he would provide an answer.
Originally, the appearance of Xue Hanzi had already pushed the Hidden Guo family to the edge, and now Xiao Yufan’s sudden attack nearly drove him mad. Was he really going to hand over his own grandson? Let alone the unbearable rumors and gossip, he would never bear to do so!
If he couldn’t even protect his own grandson, then the position of the Hidden Guo family leader was nothing but a joke. How could he even dream of becoming the overlord among hidden aristocratic families?
“That incident was indeed our Hidden Guo family’s fault. Since you want revenge, I won’t stop you. But think carefully—there is only one main culprit. I hope you won’t kill innocents recklessly!”
After hesitating for a moment, Guo Hongguang finally made his decision. He had no choice but to sacrifice an elder to protect his grandson.
The old dog from the Hidden Guo family’s seat immediately turned ashen-faced. He knew that if Xiao Yufan and the Heaven Alliance came knocking, he would definitely be a discarded pawn. After all, his status couldn’t compare to Guo Junyu’s.
Xiao Yufan didn’t say anything. Since the Hidden Guo family’s old dog and Guo Junyu dared not step forward, he would go down himself. Killing two people who hadn’t even reached the Late Heaven Stage was extremely easy.
As for Guo Hongguang’s intention to protect Guo Junyu, how could Xiao Yufan not understand? But would he really let this old man have his way?
Step by step, Xiao Yufan approached the Hidden Guo family’s old dog, a faintly sinister smile curling his lips. Back then, he had been so weak in front of this old dog, but months later, with the strength of half a step into the Late Heaven Stage, he was now like an ant to him.
With every step Xiao Yufan took, the Hidden Guo family’s old dog retreated one step. This was going to be a one-sided slaughter, without a shadow of doubt.
As the old dog’s face turned deathly pale, Xiao Yufan finally moved. A flash of white light rolled in his palm, forming the Annihilation Heaven Seal instantly. With this single hand seal, the old dog would surely become a dead dog.
Resignedly closing his eyes, he didn’t even attempt to resist. The Hidden Guo family had already abandoned him—what did he have to fight against this young man? He only regretted not killing Xiao Yufan with his own hands back then. That way, there wouldn’t have been so many troubles now!
Boom!
A loud sound suddenly erupted. The old dog of the Hidden Guo family felt his blood and energy churn violently. However, he had only suffered the shockwave, not a direct hit. Then, everyone heard a wolf-like howl.
Xiao Yufan’s shadow had already appeared before Guo Junyu, and the Annihilation Heaven Seal fell completely. Guo Junyu, completely unprepared, terrified to find he couldn’t even move, could only watch helplessly as that white light ruthlessly smashed into his body.
A feint to the east and strike from the west—if the Hidden Guo family wanted to protect this useless brat, Xiao Yufan would deliberately make them fail. Killing one and crippling another—this outcome was still acceptable. Moreover, the crippled old dog wouldn’t have many days left to live.
When Guo Hongguang heard Guo Junyu’s scream, without thinking, he immediately chose to attack. Although Xiao Yufan was fast, he still solidly took the blow. Already drained from his earlier fight with Guo Chen, the additional impact sent him staggering backward.
His consciousness also began to blur. He hadn’t expected the old dog Guo Clan Leader to be this strong…
“Old dog, do you think I’m just air? You actually dared to attack me. Looks like your Hidden Guo family really has no right to exist anymore!”
Seeing Guo Hongguang attack, Old Master Situ was already furious. At this moment, everyone present felt a soul-deep pressure, even stronger than Xue Hanzi’s aura.
Under this overwhelming pressure, Guo Hongguang kept retreating, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. As the Hidden Guo family leader, he couldn’t even withstand Old Master Situ’s oppressive aura!
The Heaven Alliance’s experts also stepped forward, their formidable auras causing even the Holy Hall guardians to widen their eyes in astonishment. Unbeknownst to others, the Heaven Alliance had already grown terrifyingly powerful…
No one had expected the Ancient Martial Arts Conference to turn into this scene. This time, the Hidden Guo family was truly doomed, all because they had offended one man—and the entire Heaven Alliance!
At this moment, Xiao Yufan was already plunging straight downward, heading directly toward the Azure Spirit Hall’s position. Even with Old Master Situ’s space-folding technique, he couldn’t catch up to him. Already severely weakened, if Xiao Yufan fell, no one could predict what might happen.
However, Xiao Yufan was still quite lucky. Just before hitting the ground, he was gently caught by someone, followed by a faint, delicate fragrance.
Instinctively, Xiao Yufan took a deep breath. That familiar scent intoxicated him slightly. If he were conscious, he would surely see the faint blush on that breathtakingly beautiful profile…
