Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Deterrence
Facing Qin Yanyang’s inquiry, Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou furrowed their brows deeply. Xu Xiao slapped the table, stood up, and scolded, "What do you mean by secret collusion? Qin Yanyang, have you come here today specifically to target my Xu Family? I think you are being a bit too arrogant and presumptuous. This is the Xu Family, not yours!"
Yang Fei’s eyes swept coldly over Xu Xiao. "Old man, watch your words. Don’t yell at my wife. I’m very unhappy about it."
Xu Xiao absolutely did not want his family to collaborate with Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang. With the enmity of his son and grandson’s murder, he couldn’t make Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou pay with their lives, but Yang Fei, an outsider, he despised thoroughly and would not let off easily.
Hearing Yang Fei’s words, his aura immediately escalated as he angrily said, "Rascal, how dare you act recklessly at the Xu Family Headquarters. Today I will personally suppress you and see if there might be some expert backing you up."
"Suppress me? Hah, we just clashed outside, and with your level, you are hardly qualified to suppress me."
Yang Fei smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou, he asked, "Does the Xu Family still have any sincerity in cooperating with me?"
Xu Yunshan hadn’t spoken yet, when Xu Liangyou frowned and said, "It’s not that the Xu Family lacks sincerity, but I only see your aggressive demeanor. It seems it’s you, Yang Fei, who lacks the sincerity to cooperate with my Xu Family."
Yang Fei chuckled, stood up, and said to Qin Yanyang, "It seems we’ve made this trip for nothing; let’s go."
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou were greatly alarmed and called out together, "Mr. Yang, please wait."
Xu Mao, with immense pressure, added, "Uncles and elder cousins, Mr. Yang is truly a miraculous individual in this world. His medical skill is nearly magical. He is particularly helpful during crucial breakthrough moments. With Mr. Yang’s help, the chance of success can almost reach 100%."
Xu Xingzhou also hurriedly said, "Indeed, Mr. Yang possesses divine skills. Should he offer his assistance, our Xu Family will see numerous experts emerge, and even our three grandpas may break through to the Innate Realm with his help."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and even Xu Xiao were moved.
The three of them, each a unique-tier martial artist, had been stuck at a crucial step for many years.
If Yang Fei truly possessed the means to help them break through that barrier and advance to the Innate Realm, it would be a tremendous blessing.
Not only would the strength of the Xu Family rise dramatically, but in terms of their personal longevity, they would gain many more years of life.
Even though Yang Fei was a mortal enemy, at this moment, Xu Xiao was extremely moved.
If Yang Fei could indeed help him enter the Innate Realm, he felt he could even let go of the enmity over his son’s death.
But soon, the light in their eyes dimmed.
Impossible.
How could such heaven-defying methods exist in this world?
If they did, the Innate Realm would not still be the highest realm in the Martial World.
Xu Liangyou looked at Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou, seeing their excited expressions and linked it to their improved strengths, he did not doubt Yang Fei had special means to enhance a martial artist’s abilities.
Even if this fellow couldn’t help them advance to the Innate Realm, if he could help the Xu Family produce more Energy Transformation Realm masters, it would still drastically strengthen the family.
Thinking this, he asked Yang Fei, "Is what they said true?"
Yang Fei chuckled lightly and countered, "The Xu Family shows no sincerity towards cooperation; what relevance does your question have?"
Xu Liangyou said sternly, "If it’s true, my Xu Family is willing to forsake all other allies to cooperate with you."
Xu Yunshan nodded and said, "That’s right, young man. If you indeed possess that miraculous ability, our Xu Family will regard you as a great benefactor, and treat you with utmost respect. When conflicts arise with others, if we are unable to mediate, we will certainly stand by your side."
Qin Yanyang asked, "Including completely severing ties with the Zhang Family?"
The three Xu Family members tensed up, with Xu Liangyou defending, "Our Xu Family has no—"
Qin Yanyang forceful interrupted, "Forget it, I still do not see the sincerity from the Xu Family."
Yang Fei chuckled, nodded, and said, "Right, we’ve wasted a trip; let’s go."
Having said that, the two stood up and walked out.
Xu Xiao’s eyes flashed fiercely as he shouted, "Do you think you can just come and go from the Xu Family as you please?"
As he spoke, his aura soared, and he transformed into a sharp steel blade, carrying an overwhelming and domineering force as he charged at the two.
Even if it meant offending the Qin Family, he was willing to take the risk to keep Yang Fei behind.
If this young man truly had the ability to enhance a martial artist’s cultivation, then he would extract such techniques for the Xu Family’s use, and then eliminate him.
If not, he would just kill him outright.
A son’s murder was not something that could go unavenged.
"Third brother, don’t be reckless!" Xu Yunshan exclaimed in alarm.
However, Xu Liangyou firmly grabbed Xu Yunshan.
By this point, the Xu Family would rather offend the Qin Family than fall out with the Zhang Family.
As for Yang Fei, he too felt that the third brother was right; this young man must be kept here.
When the wild aura burst forth from Xu Xiao, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang intuitively joined hands.
Xu Xiao instantly approached the two and slapped toward Yang Fei with his palm.
This move had much more power than the previous palm he had exchanged with Yang Fei outside.
Xu Xiao harbored a killing intent, and having witnessed Yang Fei’s prowess before, he went all out this time, aiming to severely injure Yang Fei.
Yang Fei didn’t even turn to face Xu Xiao directly, but rather casually threw a punch backward.
"Bang!"
The dominant sound spread; Qi rampaged, shattering several Huanghuali armchairs.
"Spurt!"
Blood sprayed from Xu Xiao’s mouth; his body came fast and returned even faster. Although the Xu Family’s guest hall was spacious, his body still flew back seven or eight meters before violently crashing into the wall behind him.
"Crash!"
The wall collapsed into a huge pit, and Xu Xiao’s body crashed through it, falling into a room next door.
Yang Fei, holding Qin Yanyang’s hand, drifted away.
The members of the Xu Family were already dumbstruck.
After Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou gasped in shock, they rushed to Xu Xiao’s side swiftly.
Xu Xiao was spitting up blood, his complexion deathly pale as he staggered to his feet.
His face no longer bore any arrogance but was instead filled with shock and fear. He coughed and said, "Cough, cough... this... this guy is so strong!"
Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou were startled and simultaneously blurted out, "Innate Realm?"
Both saw deep suspicion in each other’s eyes, both wearing a look of disbelief on their faces.
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou, however, were already stunned.
Third Grandpa was an undefeatable existence below the Innate level, the unique tier in today’s Martial World.
In their minds, Yang Fei was indeed strong, but they had never imagined he would be this powerful.
Even Third Grandpa had been punched to vomit blood and sent flying.
With such combat power, if not the Innate Realm, what else could it be?
After a great shock, Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou quickly came back to their senses.
Xu Xingzhou, disregarding the elders’ opinions, immediately chased after him, "Mr. Yang, please don’t leave."
Xu Mao also snapped back to reality and quickly followed suit.
Seeing the two chase after, Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou exchanged a look but said nothing.
The strength Yang Fei had displayed was simply too staggering.
To think that this young man, at such a young age, was already a strong fighter of the Innate Realm.
Plus one Qin Yanyang, their significance was truly profound.
If this young man indeed possessed the secret technique and Divine Skills to enhance someone’s power, then the Xu Family, even at the risk of a fallout with the Zhang Family, must foster a good relationship with him.
