The bald, great monk Liao Zhen's internal organs had all suffered severe injuries, and he now had only half a life left. He stared at Xiao Yunlong with his large, bell-like eyes.
"Why... why do you know my Shaolin Great Strength Vajra Palm? And your cultivation realm, have you perhaps entered that legendary... Three Flowers Gathering on the Crown?"
Master Liao Zhen's pale, paper-like face was also filled with shock, as well as disbelief. He truly couldn't believe that this young man, barely over twenty, had already stepped into the legendary Martial King realm.
After all, Liao Zhen had started practicing martial arts at the age of eight and was now sixty-eight, having trained for a full sixty years. Moreover, he had good martial arts talent since childhood, yet he had only half a foot into the Martial King realm.
One could imagine how difficult this Three Flowers Gathering was. In fact, for the vast majority of secular martial artists, cultivating to the Grandmaster realm was already difficult enough, let alone the Three Flowers Gathering realm. Of course, there were people in this world who had reached this realm, but they were certainly not many in the secular world.
Xiao Yunlong walked up to him and looked down at him, "These questions, you can ask the King of Hell after you get to hell!"
Liao Zhen's eyes widened immediately, and he roared, "What, boy, are you going to kill me? Do you really dare to kill me?"
Xiao Yunlong sneered, "What makes you think I don't dare to kill you? Or rather, what gives you the confidence to believe I don't dare to kill you?"
"Xiao, this old monk admits you are indeed very strong, and I know you are no ordinary person. But I tell you, I am a Shaolin disciple. Although I am no longer in the Shaolin sect, I am always a person of Shaolin. If you kill me today, you will offend the entire Shaolin. Moreover, you even stole my Shaolin Great Strength Vajra Palm, which is a supreme Shaolin skill. My Shaolin..."
Before the bald, great monk could finish, Xiao Yunlong directly reached out and grabbed his throat, saying word by word, "A mere ancient martial Shaolin, if they behave themselves and focus on self-cultivation outside the secular world, that's fine. But if they dare to meddle in secular affairs, I don't mind leveling the so-called Shaolin mountain gate!"
As the words fell, Xiao Yunlong's fingers suddenly exerted force.
With a crisp cracking sound, the fat, bald, great monk died on the spot. His eyes were wide open, and it seemed he couldn't believe Xiao Yunlong would actually dare to kill him even in death.
"You actually... you actually killed Master Liao Zhen? You actually killed him?" Cao Wushang said repeatedly.
Xiao Yunlong suddenly turned his head and glared at him, which immediately made Cao Wushang tremble and dare not speak again.
"You few Cao family direct elder experts, all of you come here!" Xiao Yunlong shouted coldly, then pulled out a chair and sat directly in the main seat.
Cao Wushang, Cao Wuji, and two other Cao family elders exchanged glances, and finally, they had no choice but to walk over.
"Mr. Xiao, we were wrong this time. We will withdraw now, and we promise you that the Cao family disciples of Yancheng will never set foot in Sucheng again!"
Cao Wushang said with cupped fists after thinking for a moment.
In fact, as he walked over just now, his mind had been considering whether to mobilize the elite experts of the Cao family present to deal with this young man named Xiao.
However, Cao Wushang had no confidence. After all, besides Xiao Yunlong, there were many elite experts from the Jun family present.
Moreover, even a super expert like Master Liao Zhen was instantly defeated by the opponent, which was enough to show that the young man named Xiao's cultivation and strength were terrifyingly powerful. This was definitely not something that could be won with sheer numbers.
In other words, at the opponent's level of cultivation and combat power, more people were useless!
Thinking of this, Cao Wushang suddenly felt remorse and deep resentment. He suddenly hated his son. If Cao Kun had not offended this man named Xiao, their Cao family would not be in such a predicament today.
Xiao Yunlong glanced at him and sneered faintly, "Now you know you were wrong. Where did all that arrogance and power from before go?"
Cao Wushang said with a bitter smile, "We were blind just now, we didn't recognize your greatness, so we offended Mr. Xiao. We hope you will be magnanimous and spare our Cao family. As long as you are willing to let us go today, just name your terms. As long as our Cao family can do it, we will satisfy you!"
"Yes, yes, as long as we can do it, we will satisfy you. Mr. Xiao, just state your terms!" Cao Wuji also said repeatedly.
Xiao Yunlong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "My terms are very simple, and you can all definitely fulfill them."
Cao Wushang and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this. As long as the other party was willing to state terms, things would be easier to handle.
As long as they could save their lives tonight and successfully return to Yancheng, their Cao family would definitely gather even more powerful forces. For example, they could call their second brother, who was a commander in the Jiangdong City Lord's Mansion, to return, or they could send people to contact the Southern Shaolin sect and ask them to send experts down the mountain, and so on.
At that time, the Cao family would surely make a comeback and destroy this dog named Xiao, as well as the Jun family.
However, what Xiao Yunlong said next quickly made Cao Wushang unable to smile.
"My terms are that I want the lives of you five people!" Xiao Yunlong's gaze was majestic and condescending, his words like a sharp knife piercing the hearts of Cao Wushang and the others.
These five people were Cao Wushang, Cao Wuji, the two Cao family elders, and of course, Geng Bingfa!
"Mr. Xiao, are you joking with me?" Cao Wushang asked blankly, feeling his head buzz at this moment.
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"
Xiao Yunlong coldly sneered, "I'll give you two minutes to prepare, then commit suicide. Of course, if you don't accept it, you can also try to make a move. But don't blame me for not reminding you beforehand. If you dare to make a move, not only will the people here die, but your Yancheng Cao family will be exterminated!"
A Cao family elder stepped forward and snorted, "Xiao, it seems you don't know yet. Our Cao family's Cao Wuxie is a commander in the Jiangdong City Lord's Mansion. Ask yourself, if you really move against us, do you dare to move against our Cao family?"
Xiao Yunlong's expression remained as usual, and he said faintly, "You have one minute left!"
"You..." This Cao family elder was furious, but he no longer dared to speak.
"Mr. Xiao, is there no room for negotiation in this matter?" Cao Wushang pleaded.
Xiao Yunlong sat motionless in the main seat, clearly too lazy to speak further.
Geng Bingfa immediately stepped forward and snorted, "Xiao, you still don't know who I am, do you? I am the Director of the Yancheng City Defense, representing the entire Dragon Country. If you dare to kill me tonight, you will be an enemy of the entire Dragon Country. Do you understand the consequences?"
"You are the Director of the Yancheng City Defense?" Xiao Yunlong looked up at him, a hint of surprise on his face.
"That's right, this director is. So, you know to be afraid now, don't you? This director orders you to release the Cao family immediately and let them leave. Otherwise, as long as I report this matter to the Jiangdong City Lord's Mansion, there will be no place for you in the entire Jiangdong!"
Geng Bingfa said sternly and coldly, his face showing a hint of majestic dominance.
Xiao Yunlong, however, smiled, baring his teeth in a cold smile, "The Director of the Yancheng City Defense is quite imposing. Do you know who I am?"
"You? Who are you?" Geng Bingfa asked casually. In his perception, although the other party was strong, he was just a martial artist from the common folk.
"Come here, I'll show you something!" Xiao Yunlong suddenly beckoned him over.
Although Geng Bingfa was suspicious, he dared not disobey at this moment. After all, if he truly angered the other party and was killed directly, it would be a meaningless death.
Watching Geng Bingfa approach cautiously, Xiao Yunlong took out a token from his person and handed it to him, saying, "Look at this. With your status, you should recognize it!"
Geng Bingfa, who had a trace of disdain on his face, instantly turned to stone on the spot as he clearly saw the token. His face was filled with extreme shock.
"You... you actually... actually are, how is this possible!"
Geng Bingfa's body trembled uncontrollably with fear. Suddenly, he laughed wildly, "That's right, judging by that incident, it is indeed possible for you to appear here. It's correct, it's correct. My heavens, I actually..."
Geng Bingfa, while laughing, suddenly started to wail and even knelt down.
Cao Wushang saw this and asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? And who exactly is this fellow named Xiao?"
Geng Bingfa suddenly shook his head repeatedly, "No, I can't say. If I say it, everyone will die, everyone will die!"
Xiao Yunlong took back the token and said coldly, "Now that you know my identity, you know what to do, don't I need to say more?"
"Regret, I hate it, why did I come? Why did I come tonight? I regret it, but it's too late..."
Geng Bingfa suddenly roared to the sky, then stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "All elite guards of the Yancheng City Defense, heed my order! Immediately withdraw from the Jun family and return to Yancheng!"
"Geng Bingfa, what are you doing? Are you crazy..."
Cao Wushang was furious, but before he could finish, blood began to flow from the corner of Geng Bingfa's mouth. It turned out that he had directly bitten his tongue and committed suicide.
The Cao family members were stunned by this, their faces completely drained of color. Cao Wushang, Cao Wuji, and the two elders looked at Geng Bingfa lying on the ground, then turned to look at Xiao Yunlong sitting in the main seat.
They wanted to ask what that token was just now, and what Xiao Yunlong's true identity was, but they ultimately lacked the courage and bravery to ask.
Of course, all the Jun family disciples present at this moment were also very curious about Xiao Yunlong's background. To scare a City Defense Director into biting his tongue and committing suicide with just a token was simply unbelievable!
"Forget it, the victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit. Even Geng Bingfa, the City Defense Director, was scared to death and bit his tongue. What else can we say? Let's accept our fate!"
A Cao family elder finished speaking and directly struck his own heavenly spirit with a palm.
"All Cao family disciples, heed my order! Quickly return to Yancheng!" Cao Wushang said, then directly activated his internal energy, severing his own meridians.
Subsequently, Cao Wuji and the other Cao family elder also committed suicide one after another. Seeing this scene, how could the Cao family disciples dare to make a move? They were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe, and immediately fled in a hurry.
Xiao Yunlong naturally did not stop or kill these Cao family disciples. Although Geng Bingfa and the other five had fallen before him, during the entire process, he had not even raised an eyelid, and his expression had not changed at all.
Elder San of the Jun family, Jun Yuanwei, saw this and sighed inwardly, "This fellow is truly terrifying!"
