Super Gene Hunting Ground

”Ah!”

A scream rang out.

Immediately, several guests seated with Yang Xiao began screaming and scattered in all directions.

Even Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan were utterly shocked, hesitated for a moment, then instinctively ran away.

Neither of them would have imagined Yang Xiao would take such extreme measures so decisively.

Only Yelu Caiyun kept her eyes fixed on Yang Xiao, her body slightly trembling,

without even glancing at Ximen Chuixue’s corpse on the ground.

The nearby guests, drinking and eating, suddenly heard the scream, turned their heads, saw Ximen Chuixue’s corpse on the ground, and were instantly thrown into panic.

The timid ran away quickly, while the bold moved forward a few steps to see what had happened.

In an instant, the entire garden was filled with terror.

Ximen Ding and his wife, Yelu Yan and Aunt Hong, as well as Gao Lou’s grandfather Gao Shengyang, Gao Lou’s father, and the heads of three newly risen families of Fei’e City who were dining at the head table,

stopped their chopsticks upon hearing the screams and together looked over.

However, due to the distance and the crowd forming a large circle, they couldn’t see what was happening.

Ximen Ding’s face darkened, and he said to the steward beside him:

”What is going on? What sort of decorum is this?”

”Master, I’ll go take a look.”

The steward flew to Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun’s side, suddenly saw Ximen Chuixue’s corpse on the ground, terrified, immediately squatted down and cried out in sorrow:

”Young Master, Young Master, you, what happened?”

The steward saw Ximen Chuixue’s head and body had been severed, utterly shocked.

”Splash!”

A cold flash appeared, and with a scream, the steward’s body was sliced in half, blood scattering.

This time, all the guests saw clearly that Yang Xiao held a Longsword filled with killing aura. With just a gentle swing, a chilling aura was unleashed, splitting the air and chopping the Ximen family steward in half.

The steward of the Ximen family, though an Empire Level Primary Level Realm expert, was caught completely off guard and slain by Yang Xiao’s single strike.

Everyone screamed in terror once again.

Yelu Caiyun looked at Yang Xiao, trembling, and asked:

”Why? Why did you do this?”

Yang Xiao looked at Yelu Caiyun, smiled lightly, and held her trembling hand.

”Caiyun, don’t be afraid. I can’t just watch you fall into a pit of fire without doing anything.”

Yelu Caiyun broke free from Yang Xiao’s hand and said to him sorrowfully:

”So what? You killed Ximen Chuixue; can you save me? Can you save our whole family? Yang Xiao, you need to leave now, run back to the academy, quickly.”

”Since I’m here, I won’t leave easily.”

”You’re seeking death; I don’t want to watch you die. Please leave now, I’m begging you.”

Yelu Caiyun pleaded with tears on her face.

Just then, Ximen Ding roared in anger, broke through the crowd, saw the bodies of his son and steward lying on the ground from afar, and cried out:

”Son, son, son,”

However, instead of rushing to his son’s body, Ximen Ding carefully observed the Broken Rainbow Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand. The strong killing aura made him particularly cautious.

Despite his grief and anger urging him to attack Yang Xiao, years of cultivation and combat experience told him to be careful.

”Who are you? Did you kill my son?”

Ximen Ding shouted angrily at Yang Xiao.

He was unsure if it was Yang Xiao alone or if Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun together killed him, and subsequently the steward.

Yelu Yan, Aunt Hong, Gao Lou’s grandfather, father, and several local renowned clan leaders also stepped out from the crowd, standing a bit forward.

Seeing this scene, they were all shocked, their minds going blank, standing like petrified statues.

What is the situation? Someone has assassinated the groom?

Killed Ximen Chuixue?

No matter how much Yelu Yan resented Ximen Chuixue, he never harbored such a foolish thought; that would predict the downfall of the Yelu Family.

But now, Ximen Chuixue’s head is severed, and their steward’s body was also chopped in half. Who did this?

Seeing Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun standing together, the first thought in everyone’s minds was that Yelu Caiyun colluded with her lover, breaking the marriage contract, and killed Ximen Chuixue when he wasn’t paying attention.

After all, Yelu Caiyun was forced to marry Ximen Chuixue, a fact known by everyone in Fei’e City.

Especially Yelu Yan and Aunt Hong; their hearts were shattered at the sight, instantly realizing this trouble was caused by Yelu Caiyun’s lover from Flying Leopard Academy, who killed Ximen Chuixue while he was offering a toast.

This would bring immense calamity to the Yelu Family.

Yelu Yan was at a loss for what to do, his mind blank, body trembling, standing dumbfounded.

The hundreds of guests gradually comprehended the situation after brief terror, looking at Yang Xiao, as if understanding something, whispering among themselves.

The family members and servants of Ximen family calmed down from their shock, shouting to each other, and dozens of them armed with weapons charged into the crowd, surrounding Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun.

”Master, it was he who killed the Young Master and steward, we must kill him to avenge the Young Master.”

With Ximen Ding present, these family members naturally weren’t afraid; in Fei’e City, Ximen Ding was the king, no one could threaten him.

Ximen Ding kept his gaze on Yang Xiao; he didn’t know this young man, but he recognized the Broken Rainbow Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand, a divine weapon of the wealthiest Qin family in Flying Leopard Empire,

but how did the Qin family’s divine weapon end up in this young man’s hands?

Could this young man be someone related to the Qin family?

The eyes of everyone in the venue were fixed on Yang Xiao and the Yelu Caiyun beside him.

Yang Xiao was tall, handsome and suave; Yelu Caiyun in her red bridal attire was stunning, no matter how one looked at them, they appeared to be a couple.

”Alas, what a pity, such a talented pair is about to die.”

”Indeed, this young man is daring to stealthily assassinate Ximen Chuixue, doesn’t he know the power of Master Ximen Ding?”

”Young people, it’s inevitable to act impulsively for the sake of what they call love.”

”Impulse is the demon!”

”Who knew Yelu Caiyun already had a lover outside? What a pity, what a shame.”

”It’s said Yelu Caiyun entered Flying Leopard Academy a year ago, where there were many young people; with her beauty, naturally, there were many pursuing her, quite normal.”

”The Yelu family is doomed now, likely to be exterminated by the Ximen family.”

...

The crowd murmured among themselves, but no one doubted Ximen Ding’s combative power or the brutal retaliation that was about to come.

Yang Xiao gripped the Broken Rainbow Sword, stepped forward, and said to Ximen Ding:

”I killed the man; it has nothing to do with Yelu Caiyun. If you want revenge, come after me!”
