Illicit Relationship

Everyone instantly turned their heads toward the source of the sound. 

'Who is he?'

That was the question that appeared in their minds when they saw an old man floating in the sky.

"Elder Shun…" Xiao Tian was pleasantly surprised when he saw Wan Shun.

Like Xiao Tian, Crystal was also happy.

Of course, she knew who Wan Shun was because she had met him before. He even taught her a few things in the past.

That was why she was thrilled when she saw Wan Shun because, with this, the chances of them surviving that dangerous situation were high.

"Xiao Tian, do you know who he is?" Zhao Sheng did not know who Wan Shun was. 

"He is elder Shun." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "He was the one who taught me about the real martial arts world and the power of candidate to be the Ruler."

"So, he is your master, huh?" Zhao Sheng uttered.

Xiao Tian did not say anything.

Actually, he was surprised too. 

Wan Shun always told him he did not want to accept a disciple because he only wanted to live peacefully with his granddaughter.

Wan Shun even told him not to call him master. 

That was why he was surprised because his words were different from his previous statement. 

"Oh! A stronger enemy?" instead of feeling afraid, Yukina was happy when a stronger opponent appeared.

Unlike Yukina, Xiao Deng Jiang was unhappy. 

Even though he had never met Wan Shun before, he knew who Wan Shun was because Wan Shun was on the list of people he wanted to recruit. 

He still had not recruited Wan Shun because he did not know his whereabouts. He just did not expect Wan Shun to become Xiao Tian's master.

'Damn it!'

He knew Wan Shun was China's second-strongest martial artist, so he cursed venomously when he learned about his relationship with Xiao Tian. 

"Brother, what should we do now?" Xiao Yimu asked in a low voice.

Even though they won in terms of numbers, but he knew they would not be able to defeat Wan Shun.

Guowei and Zhu Jinghua were only at the sixth stage. Zhao Chen was also at the sixth stage.

Even though the three of them fought Wan Shun together, they would not be able to defeat him because the difference between the sixth stage and the seventh stage was like heaven and earth.

"Damn it! Are we going to fail to kill Xiao Tian?" rage pulsed through his veins when Xiao Jianhao saw Wan Shun.

They had spent a lot of money and serums to hire Yukina and trap Xiao Tian, so he was enraged when everything was out of their control.

"Senior, this is a family matter. Can you not get involved in this?" Xiao Deng Jiang asked politely. 

"What? Did I hear it right?" Wan Shun found it funny. "You are ganging up on my disciple with more than one hundred people. And you still have the audacity to ask me not to get involved in this? Are you kidding me?"

"But Xiao Tian killed my son and cut off my daughter's right arm. I only want to seek justice for my children. Is it wrong?" Xiao Deng Jiang suppressed his anger.

"I don't care." Wan Shun responded, "You are bullying my disciple, so I will teach you a lesson."

"Grrr…" Xiao Deng Jiang gritted his teeth. "Kill them! Kill them all!"

When the Xiao family people tried to kill Xiao Tian and Crystal, Wan Shun stood in front of them.

*Stomp…

Wan Shun stomped his right foot on the ground hard, creating a huge earth fissure.

"Aaaggghhh…" one by one, the Xiao family people fell into the earth fissure. 

Not only the Xiao family's subordinates, but the restaurant behind them was also affected by Wan Shun's attack.

The restaurant was destroyed because the ground was split in half.

Wan Shun did not stop there.

He immediately swung his right hand, sending a wave of energy at them.

"Uaakk…" the Xiao family people could not avoid it because they were squeezed by the earth fissure.

When Xiao Yimu saw his subordinates dying one by one, he immediately uttered, "Let's leave this place now."

Yukina was busy fighting Silver Fox, so he knew they would die if they did not leave that place immediately because she could not protect them.

"Grrr…." Xiao Deng Jiang clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

His eyes were bloodshot, and anger thrummed through her veins. 

He was furious.

He was enraged.

But he could not do anything to Wan Shun.

He was only an ordinary martial artist, so it was impossible for him to stop Wan Shun because Wan Shun was much stronger than him.

"Brother, what are you doing? Let's leave this place." Xiao Jianhao uttered, "I can understand your feelings, but we have to leave this place now." 

"That's right, brother." Xiao Yimu added. "We can make other plans to kill Xiao Tian later, but it will be over if we die in this place."

Xao Deng Jiang looked at Xiao Tian one last time before finally leaving. 

"What?! They are leaving?" Yukina stopped attacking Silver Fox when Xiao Deng Jiang and his brothers left.

"Grandpa, let's leave this place too." Zhao Luoyang did not want to die too.

"Alright." Zhao Chen agreed instantly.

"Sheng…" Zhao Xun looked at his son with a sad face.

"Xun, what are you doing?" Zhao Chen shouted.

Zhao Xun immediately followed his father.

But before they could run away, Wan Shun appeared in front of them. "Do you think I will let you leave this place?"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Without giving a warning, Wan Shun kicked them hard.

"Uakk…" blood splashed out of their mouths as they crashed against the ruins of the restaurant.

Wan Shun did not show mercy and attacked them again.

This time, he used the energy of heaven and earth to attack them. Zhao Chen dared to injure his disciple, so he showed no mercy.

"Cough…Cough…" they coughed up blood as they fell to the ground.

Zhao Sheng, Crystal, and Xiao Tian walked closer to them. 

Wan Shun looked at Xiao Tian and uttered, "You can do whatever you want with them."

Xiao Tian shifted his gaze from Wan Shun to Zhao Chen and the others.

'What should I do to them?'

Of course, he wanted to kill them because they were the reason why he almost died earlier.

But on the other side, they were Zhao Sheng's family.

Zhao Sheng was his good friend.

He also helped him when he was in a life-and-death situation earlier.

Zhao Sheng even fought his family for the sake of helping him. These were the reasons why he did not know what to do.

He was afraid that he would lose Zhao Sheng if he killed Zhao Chen and the others. It was very hard to find someone like Zhao Sheng, so he did not want to lose him.

Zhao Xun did not say anything and only stared at Xiao Tian. He did not ask for forgiveness because he knew what they were doing.

Even though he regretted his actions, it did not change the fact that they trapped Xiao Tian and helped the Xiao family.

'I really regret everything.'
