Xu Huo was shocked when he felt spiritual Qi fill the room and suppress it.
Xu Huo looked at Xu Yuan in disbelief. Xu Yuan had always been a teenager with an arrogant title and had no strength at all. Only ordinary people will forever be ordinary people.
But today, right in front of him, he felt a tremendous power emanating from Xu Yuan's body, "H-how did this happen?" he muttered, still unable to believe what was in front of him.
Luckily the pair of mother and daughter who had been with them had left the shop. If only they were here and felt the pressure emanating from Xu Yuan, both of them would surely faint.
Xu Yuan laughed inwardly when he saw the look of fear on Xu Huo's pale face, "Are you sure you still won't follow me? I could have killed you here with just my fingers," he said savagely.
Xu Huo had never heard that Xu Yuan could cultivate and even create this tremendous pressure. Even in his nightmares, nothing was as bad as the facts before him.
Even though Xu Huo felt fear in his heart, his facial expression returned to normal again.
"So what? Even though you've been hiding well all this time, you still can't possibly be as strong as me!" he said proudly.
Yet his arrogance did stem from his strength and cultivation stage, which was quite rare for a cultivator of his age.
But unfortunately, that arrogance wouldn't last long until Xu Yuan showed his true strength.
Xu Yuan who instead of being able to defeat him with just one punch, preferred to keep a low profile for the time being until the situation forced him to unleash his full strength.
Xu Yuan ordered Gu Jian to arrest Xu Huo, and Several city guards also accompanied Gu Jian.
Xu Huo couldn't believe this at all, he had seen and felt the tremendous pressure emanating from Xu Yuan's body, but Xu Yuan instead ordered his guards to arrest him formally.
This is an insult!
Gu Jian and a few bodyguards entered the room, grabbed Xu Huo, and locked his hands with thick ropes.
"Let me go! You deaf people! I said let me go!" he shouted hysterically, trying to escape using his strength, but unfortunately, too many people were holding him back so that he couldn't do much.
Xu Yuan and his bodyguards immediately headed to the city square to punish Xu Huo and his maidservants in the presence of many people.
Xu Jing would also definitely see how Xu Huo was punished, and Xu Yuan didn't care. For him, it was natural to kill Xu Huo.
Xu Jing was only at the 3rd level of the Transformation stage, and Xu Yuan could easily rival him with just his physical strength. So no need to worry too much.
The citizens who saw the many bodyguards herding Xu Huo and an ordinary woman into the town square became curious. They wanted to know what was going on.
It wasn't long before Xu Yuan's entourage arrived at the town square and placed Xu Huo on the execution stage with his attendants.
The woman who was his maidservant was silent and didn't speak, she was too tired to complain and plead with Xu Yuan, but Xu Yuan didn't hear her and ignored her.
Xu Yuan stood in front of the execution stage and shouted, "This is an example for those of you who are trying to kill me! I don't care who it is and I will kill him right here on the execution stage! Get this message across the city!"
Everyone who heard it started whispering, they started to spread the news of Xu Yuan throughout the city quickly, until Xu Jing, who was enjoying tea in his backyard, was shocked.
"What!? Xu Huo will be executed by Xu Yuan on the execution stage!?" he asked, still in disbelief.
"Yes sir, everyone in the city has heard of this news, and it is possible that the Family Head has heard of it!"
"That bastard brat! How dare he spread the news when he's just a cripple himself!?" he shouted angrily. Then he went out of the house and immediately headed for the town square where Xu Huo was there.
When Xu Jing arrived at the town square, he could see his son, Xu Huo, and a maidservant bound by the punishment rope. The punishment rope itself is specifically designed to bind both opponents and enemies without worrying that the rope will break.
He could also see that Xu Yuan was preparing several swords to cut off his son's head. Xu Jing didn't expect that Xu Yuan would do such a terrible thing to kill his son.
At the same time, Luo Jing Yan and several of his bodyguards arrived at the city square and saw that his son was picking some swords. When Luo Jing Yan saw Xu Huo, he guessed that Xu Huo was the main culprit behind Xu Yuan's murder.
In the past, perhaps Luo Jing Yan would be worried when his son Xu Yuan did something rash like this, but now he was not worried at all. He knew that his son was no longer a weakling. He had seen his son at the 9th stage of Birth.
Few people would be able to harm him. Luo Jing Yan himself had a higher cultivation level at the Transformation Stage 5 stage than Xu Jing.
Xu Jing, who couldn't stand Xu Yuan's treatment of his son, finally shouted, "Xu Yuan! What is this? Why did you arrest my son!?"
Xu Yuan paused for a moment, glanced at the crowd, and saw Xu Jing staring at him with hatred.
Xu Yuan said, "Didn't I tell you a few days ago that your son tried to kill me by poisoning me, the maid standing beside him was his order to poison me. Of course I will kill them both."
When Xu Yuan's words were finished, the entire crowd became even more shocked. They never expected that Xu Huo, who was known as a talented and kind-hearted genius who also upholds justice, would act so disgracefully by trying to kill Xu Yuan.
Xu Jing, who heard those words, then turned his gaze to the angry Xu Huo, "Is that really Huo'er?" he asked.
Xu Huo could feel his father's cold gaze, and then he said, "Of course that's not true! Xu Yuan only envied me for my strength and so many people praised me! After all, I would never kill my own brother!" he argued.
Everyone who heard it became confused.
So which one is correct? Should we side with Xu Yuan or Xu Huo?
Xu Yuan thought that Xu Huo would deny all of his accusations, which was understandable. The evidence wasn't powerful either, and of course, there were still a lot of negative assumptions about what happened between the two.
Xu Yuan replied to Xu Huo's words with a sinister smile, "Really? Is that the reason why I want to kill you? You're too naive! Why would I need to envy you when I myself am strong enough to kill you?"
Xu Yuan deactivated his Shadow Arts until a powerful aura surrounded his surroundings, instantly within his body and his vast dantian swirled and began to show his cultivation achievements to many people.
"What!? He's already at the 9th level of the Birth stage!? How could it be!?"
