OBS Chapter 119 The Shock of a King
Chapter 119 The Shock of a King
The Xiao family council hall.
Xiao Chen stood in the center, with the unconscious Second Young Master Xiao lying on a stretcher at his feet.
The head of the Xiao family stood on the other side without saying a word.
Before long, people began to arrive at the council hall, all of them core members of the Jiang City branch.
"What urgent matter could the patriarch have given such a late-night order?" They were all still confused.
There hasn't been a moment of peace tonight.
First, the trainees' vehicle was attacked, and the entire Xiao family was mobilized to chase after the culprit, only to find a pile of corpses.
The search for the missing person wasn't over yet when the patriarch issued an urgent order, commanding all key figures to return to the family to discuss important matters.
"Huh? Isn't this the young master from the South City?" They looked surprised when they saw Xiao Chen.
No one in the family had given up hope.
Given the immense power of the Illuminati, how could this trial disciple have survived...?
"What... how did Yaheng end up like this? What happened?" When they saw Young Master Xiao on the ground, they were shocked.
Faced with everyone's questions, the head of the Xiao family did not explain anything, but simply waved for everyone to take their seats.
"We'll talk about it when the old man arrives," he said, only uttering that one sentence.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
He wasn't sure what the Xiao family head was up to.
He had crippled his son, so logically he should be furious and seek revenge for his son.
Now they've summoned me here, but instead of arranging for someone to treat Young Master Xiao first, they've gone to great lengths to bring all the key figures here.
Is there some kind of rule that requires a joint trial by three judges to determine guilt and punishment?
The Xiao family has a long and ancient tradition, so it's not surprising that they have these rules.
Xiao Chen couldn't sense any emotional fluctuation from the Xiao family patriarch, which aroused his suspicion.
He was originally prepared to break off relations completely, even if it meant splitting up with Jiang City and going to war. But now he's holding back, wanting to see what the other side is really up to.
Before long, the entire council chamber suddenly fell silent.
The patriarch of the Xiao family walked in slowly with a stern face.
"Old Taishan".
Everyone bowed respectfully, but Xiao Chen didn't move an inch.
Xiao Yuanshan nodded to everyone, then glanced at Xiao Chen, said nothing, and sat down in the main seat.
"Patriarch, can you speak now? How did Yaheng get injured like this? Is it related to that kid?" one of the men stood up and said aggressively.
Xiao Chen recognized this person.
Isn't that Xiao Jing, whom he slapped a few days ago?
"I crippled Xiao Yaheng," Xiao Chen said calmly, admitting it directly.
"what?"
In an instant, almost all the key figures stood up, their expressions of surprise quickly turning into anger as they stared intently at Xiao Chen.
Several people looked skeptical.
"Yaheng is the strongest seed here. How do you think you can cripple him?" someone asked coldly.
"How dare you destroy the seed of my Xiao family in Jiang City? Do you have a death wish?" Xiao Jing's expression hardened, and he stared at Xiao Chen with murderous intent, ready to pounce.
“Xiao Yaheng was indeed crippled by him,” the Xiao family patriarch said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Xiao family were stunned for a moment, their faces turning cold.
"This is outrageous! This kid is courting death! I propose we cripple him to avenge Yaheng!" Xiao Jing shouted angrily.
His encouragement made some people restless, and they wanted to take action immediately.
Xiao Yuanshan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"What grudge do you have against Elva Hsiao?" he asked, looking at Xiao Chen.
“Ever since I entered this place, he has repeatedly targeted me. Today, he dared to send his steward with men to cripple me, so I have returned here to retaliate in kind. It’s that simple,” Xiao Chen said calmly.
"You bastard! What do you take my Xiao family for? Do you even know your place?!" Xiao Jing roared.
The other members of the Xiao family also looked hostile.
That kid is too arrogant.
The second young master of the Xiao family targeted him, and he dared to come and cripple the other party directly. How lawless is he?
He didn't take the Jiang family's branch office seriously at all.
"No one is allowed to make a move!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted in a deep voice.
"Old man, why!"
The Xiao family members, filled with indignation, raised questions.
They were incited by Xiao Jing and did not understand Xiao Yuanshan's orders.
"He has ruined the only seed of my Xiao family! How can I tolerate this! I cannot tolerate it!" Xiao Jing roared and strode forward.
"Patriarch, Yaheng is your own son! How can you tolerate this?" He grabbed the Xiao family patriarch and questioned him angrily.
Suddenly, he shoved the other person aside, turned around and struck out with a palm towards Xiao Chen.
This palm strike landed on Xiao Chen's crown chakra.
This isn't just about crippling him, it's about annihilating him.
At this moment, the head of the Xiao family was pushed away. At such close range, no one could stop him.
Xiao Jing's eyes flashed with a crazed killing intent as he exerted all his strength.
This was the strike he had been preparing.
Xiao Jing was of above-average strength among the core figures of the Jiang City branch family, but at this moment, the aura emanating from him was comparable to that of the head of the Xiao family.
"Insolence!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted coldly, his imposing manner failing to deter Xiao Jing in the slightest.
Seeing the opponent strike down with a palm, Xiao Chen remained completely still, appearing to outsiders as if he couldn't react.
Only in the critical moment did his body sway like a phantom, causing the other person's hand to miss its target and fall from the tip of his nose.
"What?" Xiao Jing was shocked.
Before he could make his next move...
"boom!"
A surge of energy suddenly erupted from Xiao Chen, instantly blasting him away.
"Bang bang bang..."
Xiao Jing's body was thrown into the air, spinning like a top several times, and almost smashed through the thick wall of the council hall.
As he fell from the cracked wall and crashed to the ground, the scene was deathly silent.
The members of the Xiao family stared at Xiao Chen in disbelief, their eyes filled with deep astonishment.
Even the head of the Xiao family and Xiao Yuanshan were stunned and didn't react for a while.
After a long silence, Xiao Yuanshan finally uttered two words:
"King level".
The Xiao family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
"King-level! This kid is actually a King-level expert!"
"Isn't the Southern City branch family supposed to have a broken lineage? How could he possibly have reached the King level! This... this is truly astonishing!"
"Now I finally understand why he survived the Illuminati's pursuit; he was the one who killed them all!"
"My God! Such a young King-level expert!"
……
The crowd erupted in astonishment, utterly shocked.
King-level experts are extremely rare; they are true grandmaster-level masters.
There is only one King-level expert here, Xiao Yuanshan, even the head of the Xiao family has not reached that level.
Xiao Chen actually reached...
At that age, he's a top genius in the Xia Kingdom, the kind who can shake the martial arts world.
"King-level...it's actually King-level..." Xiao Jing's eyes widened, blood in his mouth, unable to believe it.
He actually dared to dream of killing a King-level being!
"Xiao Jing, you've been lying low in my Xiao family for so many years, but now you've finally had enough," the Xiao family patriarch said coldly.
