The Liu family head felt a headache listening to his son.
He hadn't seen how formidable Lin Xiaotian was, but he had witnessed it firsthand. This person was definitely more powerful than the Uncle Wang by his side.
There was no comparison between them.
He hadn't even told Uncle Wang about this matter. Being cornered at his doorstep and forced into a lecture wasn't something to be proud of.
Just as he was contemplating how to explain,
Uncle Wang had already strode forward. His gaze was filled with contempt and disdain, eager to quickly resolve the trouble and return to his cultivation.
If it weren't for the cultivation resources promised by the Liu family, he would never have followed the Liu family head for so many years.
"You punk, you're unlucky to have run into me today."
"Those template guys were probably beaten by you. You've got some skill, but you're still no match for me."
"Because I'll let you know what a true master is."
He sneered and threw a punch, aiming directly for Lin Xiaotian's shoulder.
His intention was to cripple Lin Xiaotian's arms first.
He relished seeing that look of despair.
"Who gave you the courage?" Lin Xiaotian asked with a smile.
Uncle Wang was momentarily stunned. Before he could react, a palm had already enveloped his fist.
At this moment, he felt as if his fist had hit a ball of cotton, all his strength dissipating instantly.
It was then that he finally understood Lin Xiaotian's earlier words.
Although he hadn't attacked with full force, his punch was caught with such ease. This person's strength must far surpass his own.
And this person was only in his early twenties. How was this possible?
What kind of monstrous talent was required to reach such a cultivation level at this age?
Before he could fully process the chaotic thoughts in his mind,
Lin Xiaotian gave a mocking sneer, "I'm asking you a question, are your ears stuffed with chicken feathers?"
"Didn't you hear me?"
As his voice fell, he suddenly applied force with his hand.
"Crack!"
The sound of bone shattering echoed.
Uncle Wang couldn't help but let out a scream. His face contorted in pain. Every finger was connected to his heart, and any injury there would hurt.
Lin Xiaotian had directly crushed all the bones in his fingers.
Lin Xiaotian didn't release his grip. Instead, he raised his hand and slapped him fiercely.
The force of this slap was considerable.
Uncle Wang was sent flying, half his teeth spraying out, mixed with blood that splattered onto Young Master Liu Xuan's face.
Liu Shao Xuan also came to his senses, his eyes still filled with lingering shock.
He never imagined that the master he regarded as a deity was so easily defeated by Lin Xiaotian.
At this moment, his mind was struggling to process everything.
Lin Xiaotian's smile remained bright, "Your words just now made me very unhappy."
"Now I'm giving you a small punishment. It's not too much, is it?"
Before Uncle Wang could speak, Lin Xiaotian kicked him directly in the stomach.
The kick landed precisely on the Dantian Qihai acupoint, the source of a martial artist's power.
"Ah!"
Uncle Wang screamed. He felt as if his Dantian was a ruptured balloon, the stored internal energy exploding and scattering throughout his body.
He had cultivated diligently for decades, even becoming a lackey for resources, a bodyguard for the Liu family.
Yet now, he was crippled in a single move.
His mind struggled to comprehend it.
The immense pain swept through his body. He was sent flying backward, and as he crashed into the wall, his bones broke, and blood splattered. He felt no pain.
He struggled to lift his head, his voice trembling, "This is what you call a small punishment?"
"What else would it be?" Lin Xiaotian glanced at him with a half-smile.
"You were already prepared to kill me, and to break all my limbs before handing me over to this dim-witted fool to torment."
"It's already merciful of me not to have killed you. If you want to die, you can tell me now, and I'll guarantee you a quick and clean end."
Hearing this, Uncle Wang's face turned even paler.
His eyes also revealed a furious rage.
"You've turned me into a cripple, and now you tell me this is just a small punishment?"
"You might as well have killed me!"
Lin Xiaotian nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll grant your wish!"
As his voice fell, he took a step, as if crossing space and distance.
He appeared directly in front of Uncle Wang.
His foot stomped down heavily.
Uncle Wang felt an immense force crushing his head. In that instant, his skull felt like it was about to split open.
The pain of his brain being compressed felt like his soul was being torn apart.
He couldn't help but let out a mournful howl and beg for mercy.
"No... I don't want to die!"
"Please spare me!"
Moments ago, he was filled with resentment.
His reason had been clouded by anger, and he hadn't thought things through when he spoke those words.
Now, facing the threat of death, his mind cleared.
Like a bucket of cold water poured over him, his rational thinking returned. Without his cultivation, he could still live. As long as he was alive, anything was possible.
But if he were killed, then nothing would remain.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Don't you think you're being a bit excessive? I said earlier that I would spare your life and give you a small punishment."
"But you felt unconvinced and insisted on seeking death, so I prepared to grant your wish."
"Now you're telling me you don't want to die."
"What do you take me for? A servant you can order around at will?"
"It's too late to change your mind!"
Without hesitation, he increased the force of his foot.
"Crack..."
The sound of something breaking suddenly rang out.
Uncle Wang's pupils widened dramatically. His face was filled with utter horror. To his dying moment, his eyes remained wide open in disbelief.
He had never imagined his life would end so abruptly, without any psychological preparation.
He hadn't even managed to utter a few words of plea.
The scene unfolding before them had turned the faces of the Liu family father and son deathly pale.
They had already realized that Lin Xiaotian was no benevolent figure, but they hadn't expected him to be so decisive and swift. His resolute and unhesitating nature was certainly not typical of a young man.
The Liu family head's face twitched. This was his strongest bodyguard, and one of his trump cards. Yet, he had been annihilated by Lin Xiaotian so easily. But now, he didn't even dare to utter an extra word.
At this moment, he forced out a smile that he thought was friendly.
