Xiao Nan's expression suddenly turned serious.
This solemnity seemed somewhat out of place with his youthful appearance.
Moreover, his tone was exceptionally firm, firmer than steel.
Li Yao thought to himself that Xiao Nan and Dugu Yifang must have a deep-seated hatred between them, so he asked, "Xiao Nan, why do you want to defeat Dugu Yifang?"
Xiao Nan said, "Because he's a bad person, a really evil person!"
Li Yao asked, "Oh? How is he bad? How is he evil?"
Xiao Nan said with a resentful look, "Over the years, he has only cared about expanding his power and has never thought about the common people of Wushuang City. He has also been constantly squeezing our hard-earned money to support his gang of subordinates."
At this moment, the kitten chimed in, echoing her brother, "Brother is right. Our parents were kicked to death by the city lord's men because they couldn't pay the military expenses, boohoo..."
At this point, the kitten couldn't help but whimper.
Damn it!
A fierce glint flashed in Li Yao's eyes.
Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from not far away, and the pedestrians were so frightened that they quickly moved aside.
The roadside stall owner immediately reminded Li Yao, "Young man, hurry up and run, or you won't be able to escape."
"escape?"
"They're the ones trying to escape!"
Li Yao said calmly, remaining steadfast in his position.
In a short while, eight or nine men on horseback surrounded Li Yao and the roadside stall.
At this moment, the kitten and the roadside stall owner were trembling with fear, crouching down and hiding under the table.
Xiao Nan, however, remained unusually calm, still standing beside Li Yao, coldly staring at the newcomer.
A man dressed in a gray samurai outfit pointed at Li Yao and said to a middle-aged man in purple, "Master He, he's the one who killed our man."
Hall Master He glanced at Li Yao and shouted sternly, "You brat, who are you to dare cause trouble in Wushuang City? Are you tired of living?"
"You are not qualified to speak to me. Go and call Dugu Yifang over."
Li Yao said casually as he ate his steamed bun.
He didn't look at the person who came over even once.
"Is this kid an idiot? He actually wants our city lord to come see him?"
"I think he must be insane, daring to address our city lord by his given name!"
"Whether he's a fool or a madman, disrespecting the city lord means certain death!"
"That's right, kill him!"
"..."
Upon hearing Li Yao's words, the group began to shout and clamor.
As one of the four hall masters of Wushuang City, Hall Master He was always treated with utmost respect.
Now, Li Yao doesn't even glance at him.
He had never been so looked down upon before.
He immediately flew into a rage and said, "How dare you! How dare you address our city lord by his name! You're courting death! Men, kill him for me!"
"yes!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than four men drew their long swords and viciously slashed at Li Yao.
"ah?"
The kitten hiding under the table and the stall owner couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, both thinking that Li Yao was doomed this time.
A smug smile appeared on Master He's face.
The eight men he brought this time were battle-hardened veterans who were almost always victorious.
Therefore, in his eyes, Li Yao was already a dead man.
But the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Yao continued to eat his steamed bun slowly, as if the bun was the thing he cared about most.
Just as the four gleaming longswords were about to reach Li Yao's head, Li Yao seemed to move slightly.
However, Li Yao's movements were too fast for him to be sure whether Li Yao had moved at all.
In the blink of an eye, four figures flew into the air like arrows.
When I looked at Li Yao again, he was still sitting steadily in his original seat, still focused on eating his steamed bun.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Master He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must be seeing things.
But why were his four men knocked away?
Wow! Big brother, you're so amazing!
Xiao Nan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The kitten and the stall owner were dumbfounded; they had no idea why the four people had suddenly been sent flying.
"What are you all standing there for? Let's all attack together and take him down!"
Seeing the others standing there dumbfounded in the distance, Hall Master He shouted and suddenly shoved them towards Li Yao.
Li Yao slammed his left hand on the table, and the chopsticks in the chopstick holder on the table sprang out.
At the same time, he drew an arc in the air with his left hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
A dozen or so chopsticks shot out like sharp arrows.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
A series of screams rang out.
The four men who rushed over had chopsticks stuck in both eyes, and blood was streaming down their faces.
These blind fools, since they're so blind, we'll make sure they never open their eyes again!
Master He was dumbfounded, never expecting that the other party was such a tough nut to crack.
He wasn't stupid; he had already realized that he was no match for his opponent.
So he made a quick decision, turned around and ran away.
"Isn't it too late to run now?"
Li Yao said coldly.
In an instant, he appeared in front of Hall Master He.
Moreover, his hand was already gripping Master He's neck.
Then, as if catching a chick, they picked up Master He.
A strong feeling of suffocation washed over him, and Master He's face turned red, his eyes filled with fear and regret.
If I had known they were so capable, I should have brought more people with me.
Hall Master He, his face flushed, threatened, "I am one of the four hall masters of Wushuang City, you cannot kill me..."
Click!
Before he could even utter the word "I," Master He's neck tilted to the side, and his voice abruptly stopped.
The look of disbelief still lingered on his face.
Even in death, he couldn't believe that anyone in Wushuang City would dare to kill him.
The onlookers in the distance were all dumbfounded.
This guy is incredibly audacious; he actually killed one of the four hall masters of Wushuang City right there in the street.
However, after a brief silence, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted.
Because this Master He usually acts arrogantly and bullies them.
Although Master He and the people he brought were roughly as strong as Duan Tianya from the world's number one.
However, compared to Li Yao, these people were at best small fry.
Luck +27!
True Qi +26!
...
Li Yao's eyes lit up. The martial arts level in this world was indeed terrifying. A few small fry had actually given him over a hundred points of true qi.
It seems he will soon break through the Qi Refining Realm and enter the Spirit Refining Realm.
After absorbing the attributes, he stood up and said to Xiao Nan, "Xiao Nan, let's go avenge your parents."
Chapter 208 Cruel and Ruthless, the Stunned Dugu Yifang
The magnificent Wushuang Mansion is located in the very center of Wushuang City.
The sheer size of this mansion is astonishing.
The mansion's luxurious furnishings, compared to the humble dwellings of the lower-class citizens, were like heaven and hell.
At this moment, Dugu Yifang, the city lord of Wushuang City, was sitting in his study, holding a scroll of Wushuang City's ancestral martial arts manual, and studying it carefully.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
Dugu Yifang forced a calm and domineering expression.
