The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1257: Clyde

The guard looked down on Herland completely, as he was an eighth-level Spiritual Practitioner, while Herland was merely a fourth-level Spiritual Practitioner when he left the Jin Family over a month ago. Even if he had improved during that time, the guard was confident that Herland could never be his match, so he didn’t take Herland seriously at all.

In an instant, terrifying killing intent exploded in Herland’s eyes: ”You’re courting death!”

As soon as the words fell, terrifying spiritual power erupted immediately. Herland’s Spiritual Thought directly materialized, bursting with tri-color light, and instantly enveloped the guard, lifting him high up.

When the guard felt himself being wrapped by that tri-color Spiritual Thought, he felt as if his entire body was bound by chains, utterly incapable of resisting, unable even to move his fingers.

The terrifying pressure of the Spirit King directly affected the guard, causing him to instantly sway in mind and spirit.

Herland walked step by step toward the guard, the strong pressure making the guard feel absolutely terrified.

The guard widened his eyes, his heart in turmoil, shocked by the materialization of Spiritual Thought, a feat only possible for a second-level Spirit King — yet Herland achieved it. How could he not be shaken?

Herland came before the guard, who begged fearfully, ”Young Master Herland, I know I was wrong, I beg you to spare me. I swear, I’ll never dare underestimate you again, never dare disrespect you again!”

Seeing the guard’s terrified appearance, Herland hesitated, but at that moment, Ye Feng tossed a person in front of Herland, and loudly said to Herland: ”Herland, don’t forget how they looked down on you before. If you keep tolerating people like them, they will take advantage of you.

Make them pay, prove through your actions that you’re not a waste. Whatever happens, I’ll support you!”

At this moment, although Herland was not Ye Feng’s apprentice, they already shared the bond of master and apprentice.

Ye Feng cared deeply for his protege. If Herland didn’t truly grow and become strong, even if his cultivation improved later, he wouldn’t be able to change his cowardly personality. And in the cultivator’s world, a cowardly personality means not advancing far.

Ye Feng naturally wanted to change Herland’s cowardice now, saying: ”Herland, think of how you’ve lived all these years?”

Images kept flashing through Herland’s mind, his eyes revealing pain. This wasn’t the first time he’d been bullied by servants; these guards often threw stones at him when he wasn’t paying attention, or came out at night to beat him up and steal his Spirit Stones.

Such incidents had occurred more than once, and among those who stole his Spirit Stones, perhaps these two guards were included. Herland’s face darkened completely, becoming so grim it seemed about to drip water, extraordinarily unpleasant.

The guard looked at Herland in terror, sensing the fierce aura on Herland’s face: ”Herland, you... what are you doing? You’d better not act rashly; we’re from Third Young Master’s faction, if you touch us, he won’t spare you...”

”Crack~~” A sound echoed, but the guard hadn’t finished speaking before the sound of bone breaking suddenly rang out.

”Ah~~” Instantly, the guard let out a loud scream. Herland directly manipulated his Spiritual Thought to crush the guard’s legs and feet, the heart-wrenching screams echoing around.

”What!” The other guard, tossed to the ground by Ye Feng, watched this scene, trembling all over. He never dreamed Herland’s strength could be so formidable, easily breaking his partner’s limbs.

Herland looked towards the other guard, who said fearfully: ”Young Master Herland, you can’t do this...”

Herland’s eyes were full of confidence, loudly saying: ”Why not! You have three charges against you. First! You insulted me, your master, what’s your qualification to insult! Second, you blocked me at my family home, mocking me outside the gate. Third, you insulted my friend, a guest of the Jin Family, leaving me no face!”

”Young master, I...” Sensing the terrifying aura on Herland, the guard’s entire body trembled not knowing what to do.

Herland raised his hand directly, instantly True Essence burst forth, a crisp sound rang out, Herland’s clothes billowed, ready to strike the guard; but at this moment, as Herland was about to act.

”Stop!” A furious voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap, exploding in the void, everyone was stunned, turning to look in the direction the voice came from.

Only to see a burly, stern-looking middle-aged man with brown curly hair coming over.

Ye Feng immediately recognized the man’s cultivation, an eighth-level Spirit King, equivalent to a Legendary peak Martial Artist.

Seeing the man, Herland shouted loudly: ”Father!”

This was none other than Herland’s father, Clyde. Seeing Clyde, Herland panicked.

”What are you doing?” Clyde walked directly to Herland, loudly questioning him.

Herland, panic-stricken, was about to respond when Clyde interrupted him, looked at Ye Feng and asked: ”Who is he?”

Herland replied: ”Father, this is my newly befriended friend. He hasn’t awakened his superpower yet, so I brought him to use the Magic Origin Crystal and help him awaken...”

Upon hearing Herland’s words, Clyde’s eyes showed disdain for Ye Feng. At about twenty years old, in the Heavenly Demon World, if one hasn’t awakened by this age, they’ll be a waste even if they awaken later.

Disappointment flickered in Clyde’s eyes, mixed with heartache, a genuine expression that directly affected Herland’s heart. Herland knew his father was too disappointed in him.
