Chapter 440: Chapter 440

"Stop!" a delicate shout rang out. The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

With lightning speed, Murong Yu Yan blasted a palm strike, forcing the burly man in front of her to be blown away.

She pointed her toes to the ground and charged toward Cheng Tianxue and her companion.

The furious palm print struck Murong Yu Yan’s body.

A sweet taste in her chest, Murong Yu Yan sprayed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Three people and a dog, under the impact of this powerful force, directly fell to the ground.

"Hmph! Useless trash, a full-grown man dealing with a young girl yet still needing this consort to lend a hand, and you dare to call yourself the Squad Leader of the Tianhuang Branch? You’re a disgrace to my White Tiger Sect!" the middle-aged woman said with disdain.

"Stinky woman! Don’t go too far! This girl is no ordinary person! She is the precious daughter of the Murong Family, with a strong martial arts talent and several powerful Earth Rank Martial Techniques. Furthermore, with the help of Secret Techniques, she can augment her battle power in a short amount of time! If you were in my place, facing her, you wouldn’t be able to take her down quickly, either!" the burly man said with a cold laugh.

"Hmph! Trash is still trash! Don’t make any excuses with me, I want seventy percent of tonight’s merit!" the middle-aged woman coldly stated.

"You’re not afraid of choking to death!" the burly man laughed coldly.

A wild aura burst forth from within him, pressuring the middle-aged woman.

"Do you really want to lay a hand on me?" the middle-aged woman sneered back.

A similarly wild aura crushed down on the burly man.

"Hmph! Seventy percent it is then! You’re getting a bargain." After a stare-down, the burly man admitted defeat.

"Go! Kill the two of them and the dog, but leave Cheng Tianxue! I’ll use her to lure that stinky boy, Zhang Xiaohao, into the trap!" the middle-aged woman ordered.

"Hmph!" the burly man snorted.

Despite his displeasure, he coldly walked toward Cheng Tianxue and the others.

"Stop right there!" Murong Yu Yan shouted coldly.

"What do you want to say, you stinky woman?" the burly man sneered.

"I am the precious daughter of the Murong Family. Do you really think you can attack me on my own territory without fearing my family’s retaliation?" Murong Yu Yan said with a pale face.

To save Cheng Tianxue and the others, she had sustained severe injuries, and she now barely had the energy to move.

"Hmph! The Murong Family counts for nothing! If it weren’t for that old geezer protecting you, I would have wiped you all out by now!" the burly man laughed coldly.

"You’re seeking death!" Murong Yu Yan said furiously.

"Seeking death? No, you’re the ones dying!" the burly man retorted.

With a flip of his right hand, a wild palm force erupted and he bellowed,

Two fierce palm strikes hurtled murderously toward Murong Yu Yan and Zhou Yating.

"Zhang Xiaohao, where are you, you bastard? If you don’t show up now, never think of stepping into my room again!" Cheng Tianxue suddenly shouted sharply.

"Zhang Xiaohao? All the better if he doesn’t show up. If he does, I swear I’ll chop off his head and claim the reward at headquarters!" the burly man laughed coldly.

The palm strikes kept going, still aiming murderously at Murong Yu Yan and Zhou Yating.

"Is that so?" a faint voice suddenly rose from the night.

A massive sound of something tearing through the air rapidly approached from behind, aiming a stab at the burly man.

If the burly man persisted in attacking Murong Yu Yan and Zhou Yating, he would be slain by this sword light.

At the brink of catastrophe,

the hulking brute changed his move, and with a low roar exclaimed, "Who’s this rat daring to sneak attack me? Die!"

A furious handprint blasted onto the Fish Intestine Sword.

The sword light flickered, severing one of his palms.

Zhang Xiaohao tapped his foot and, in a few quick moves, appeared in front of Cheng Tianxue and the other two.

With one hand, he grabbed the Fish Intestine Sword.

"You bastard! Where did you die off to? Somebody was trying to kill me, how could you only show up now?" Cheng Tianxue demanded angrily.

"Well, just now, I was taking a dump in the restroom; it took a bit longer," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Hmph! You see how badly they’ve beaten up the little one. And Miss Murong, she took a blow for us trying to save us, almost beaten to death by them! You’re going to pay me back ten-fold, a hundred-fold for this," Cheng Tianxue said with a cold, murderous look.

Xue’er, don’t worry! No matter who it is, if they dare to bully you even a little, I will make them regret being born into this world," Zhang Xiaohao proclaimed with murderous intent.

He flipped his palm and took out two Healing Pills from his pocket and fed them to Murong Yu Yan and the little one.

"Miss Murong, thank you!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

"If you really want to thank me, just owe me a favor!" Murong Yu Yan said, her beautiful eyes shifting.

"Fine! I, Zhang Xiaohao, owe you a favor. Whenever you need me, no matter what it is, even if it’s jumping into a sea of fire or climbing a mountain of blades, I won’t say no!" Zhang Xiaohao declared solemnly.

"With your promise, the blow I just took was worth it!" Murong Yu Yan replied.

"You take Tianxue and the others and leave first, I’ll handle things here," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Okay," Murong Yu Yan nodded.

Struggling to her feet, she said, "Let’s go!"

"Zhang Xiaohao, you must remember! You have to come back safe and sound."

"Brother Xiaohao, you must return safely!"

Cheng Tianxue and Zhou Yating reminded him.

"Don’t worry! It’s nothing, I don’t even take these two losers seriously," Zhang Xiaohao said.

After Murong Yu Yan and the other two had left,

the hulking brute couldn’t hold back any longer and roared furiously.

"You wretched woman, why did you let those three go?"

"Humph! I did as I pleased. Can you control me? If you could, why didn’t you just stop the three of them?" the middle-aged woman retorted with a sneer.

"You— you..." the hulking brute stuttered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"So you’re Zhang Xiaohao?" the middle-aged woman said indifferently.

"You’ve got quite the nerve! To think you’d dare lay hands on my woman," Zhang Xiaohao stated with a cold face.

"As long as it lures you out, any price is worth it!" the middle-aged woman declared.

"I’m quite curious, how did you find out that I was going to attend this charity event tonight?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.

"Since you’re about to die anyway, I’ll do you a favor and let you die knowing," the middle-aged woman said arrogantly.

"My White Tiger Sect’s influence is vast. If we want information on someone, even if they’re hiding in a rat’s nest, we can dig them out," the middle-aged woman boasted.

"Dammit! You wretched woman, why are you wasting so much time talking nonsense with him? Kill him quickly!" the hulking brute roared.

"Weren’t you dissatisfied with the division of the spoils just now? I’ll give you a chance now. If you can seriously injure him, we’ll split the reward fifty-fifty," the middle-aged woman said with a cold laugh.
