Chapter 10: Slaying! The Promise!

If Xiao Yan really softens his heart and spares Liu Ruyan's life.

Zhang Xuanchen would also take action to kill him.

As for what I just said, that doesn't count.

After all, he's only fifteen years old; he's still a child.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Liu Ruyan, who was rolling at Xiao Yan's feet, quickly grabbed the hem of Xiao Yan's clothes.

With a sob in her voice, tears dripped from her crystal-clear face, and she said pitifully:

"Brother Xiao Yan, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have come to break off the engagement."

"Don't worry, once we get back to the Liu family, I'll definitely ask my father to let us get married in a month... no, in three days, okay?"

At this moment, she was truly afraid; all her previous pride was shattered.

The headless corpses lying on the ground proved that her proud background was of no use here.

She no longer cared whether Xiao Yan was a good-for-nothing; all she knew at that moment was that only he could save her life.

He heard and saw Liu Ruyan kneeling at his feet, her spiritual energy imprisoned, pleading with him.

Xiao Yan was filled with mixed emotions.

In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme; those without strength are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

If the Zhang family hadn't come to our rescue today...

No one in the Xiao family will survive.

He took a deep breath, grabbed Liu Ruyan's hair, and lifted her up.

With a ferocious expression and terrifyingly cold eyes, he sneered, "Liu Ruyan, do you think I, Xiao Yan, am a fool?"

Where is the heroic spirit of you who just insulted and destroyed the Xiao family?

You call yourself a phoenix from the heavens, but in reality you're nothing more than an ant living in your own world.

Before a true dragon, you are nothing!

Want to live? Dream on!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan threw Liu Ruyan to the ground with a fierce look in his eyes. He then wielded a crimson-black short knife, which transformed into a deadly weapon, and swiftly slashed across her neck.

Warm blood from his neck splattered onto Xiao Yan's expressionless face.

To be honest, this was his first time killing someone.

It feels... no different from killing monsters.

Liu Ruyan covered her neck with both hands, opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

Life is fading away.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Zhang Xuanchen's face showed appreciation, and his applause was particularly loud in the quiet hall.

With such a mindset, even without the help of the remnant soul of the Nascent Soul realm within the Soul Ring, one can still achieve considerable success in the future.

"This is how one should treat enemies. Brother Xiao has indeed not disappointed me. The future is promising!"

Zhang Xuanchen admired Xiao Yan from the bottom of his heart. He never expected that Xiao Yan would still dare to divorce Liu Ruyan in the face of such a behemoth as the Yunshan Sword Sect.

This is clearly not something an ordinary person could do.

At this point, Xiao Yan is highly likely to be the chosen one, so befriending him is the best option.

The two are not enemies; on the contrary, they might even become friends.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's praise, Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"I am deeply grateful to Young Master Zhang for saving my life today."

After saying this, a look of dejection appeared on his face, and he said self-deprecatingly, "As for the future, do I still have a future? In the past three years, my cultivation level has dropped from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the first level."

No matter how hard I cultivate, I can't condense spiritual energy in my dantian.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment, yet he was helpless.

I stared blankly at the roof.

Zhang Xuanchen stepped forward, gently patted his shoulder, and encouraged him, "Don't give up. Since you still have the cultivation of the first level of Qi Refining, it proves that there is still hope."

After all, you are still young, and the future holds endless possibilities.

It seems that the remnant soul of the Nascent Soul stage will awaken in the next few days. With his help, this kid, even with five spiritual roots, can become a top expert in the future.

Not to mention he also has an unawakened Flame Spirit Body.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, the confusion on Xiao Yan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by determination, an unwavering resolve.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Young Master Zhang! Xiao Yan will keep it in mind! If you achieve anything in the future, or if there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know. As long as it's within my power, I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Become!

That's exactly what I've been waiting for!

Zhang Xuanchen was overjoyed but did not show it. He chuckled and said, "Haha, Brother Xiao, there's no need for that. Since the Xiao family has attached itself to the Zhang family, I naturally cannot stand idly by."

Also, I've already addressed you as Brother Xiao, so it's a bit inappropriate for you to still call me Young Master Zhang, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, the Xiao family members were overjoyed.

Is the Xiao family about to rise to prominence?

He kept giving Xiao Yan meaningful glances.

Xiao Yan naturally saw the looks in his clansmen's eyes, but he still felt somewhat inferior at this moment.

How can I, a useless person, possibly...

Hey!

Why think so much? Zhang Xuanchen doesn't mind, so why should I hesitate?

He immediately called out, "Brother Zhang!"

"Haha, good, now that things here are resolved, I should return to my clan."

Seeing Zhang Xuanchen about to leave, Xiao Zhan quickly picked up the storage bag from the Yunshan Sword Sect member on the ground, handed it to Zhang Chen, and said with gratitude:

"The two young masters have saved my Xiao family from dire straits. My Xiao family does not know how to thank them enough. Please come with me to the family treasury. If there is anything you like, please take it."

"Yes, Young Master Zhang..."

The members of the Xiao family all spoke up.

Although Zhang Xuanchen didn't ask for anything, they couldn't be ungrateful. After all, he had helped them so much. If they didn't do anything, would they still be human?

Zhang Xuanchen accepted the eight storage bags from Xiao Zhan and said in a friendly manner, "This is your gift of gratitude. After all, they wouldn't have come looking for death if it weren't for Brother Xiao."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Yan, who looked embarrassed beside her.

He then laughed and said, "Clan Chief Xiao, you can handle those corpses on the ground. Remember to cremate them to prevent them from turning into evil spirits or blood zombies that wreak havoc on the world. Brother Bing, let's go."

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Xuanbing nodded slightly, then disappeared into the Xiao family's main hall with his underlings.

They needed to inform their patriarch about this, as only he could deter the Yunshan Sword Sect of Lingyu Island.

Looking in the direction the two left, Xiao Yan was filled with envy.

"Father, I'm going to cultivate."

Without waiting for Xiao Zhan's reply, she turned and walked towards the back mountain of the family.

This time, when he uttered the word "cultivation," no one laughed; there was only regret.

They had all seen Xiao Yan's efforts, but he had remained stuck at the first level of Qi Refining for three years. Could it be that he could recover just because of Young Master Zhang's encouragement?

The back mountain of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a large rock at the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes and circulating the Xiao family's Qi-refining technique, the Fire Spirit Technique.

The surrounding spiritual energy was continuously absorbed into the body.

They vanished without a trace when they were converging.

"grass!"

Xiao Yan was instantly enraged and roared to the sky:

"Damn you, God! What did I, Xiao Yan, ever do to offend you?! Haven't tormented me for three years enough?"

"Fuck you! You son of a bitch..."

Perhaps tired of cursing, Xiao Yan simply lay down on the lawn and quietly watched the sun in the sky.

His eyes were vacant, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Just then, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out:

"Young man, you look confused."
