There was nothing wrong with Xia Pu's words.
The clan had raised you, so you had to contribute to the clan.
This was the survival principle of many aristocratic clans in the apocalypse. For the sake of the clan's dignity and benefits, even if it meant death, the clan's descendants would step forward one after another without any regrets.
Xia Pu was now using the family's righteousness to suppress Xia Luo. Many people who were hiding in the shadows and watching the show deeply felt that this was the case, especially those who came from aristocratic families. The scales in their hearts were already slowly shifting towards Xia Pu's side.
Yang Fan left a little mouse to watch the house, while he sneaked out of the window with his cat and dog. He stopped at the rooftop of a residential building about five kilometres from the City Governor's Office, and sent out a thread of spiritual power to secretly observe.
Hearing Xia Pu's words, Yang Fan couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This old man really liked to pester endlessly.
Taking the initiative to die for the clan and being killed by the clan's schemes were two completely different concepts, alright?
Encountering such a cold-blooded clan that didn't care about their own clansmen, what else could he do but rebel? Wait for them to suck every last drop of blood from his body?
Xia Luo raised his head and retorted, "Don't f * cking spout bullsh * t. I, Xia Luo, have never done anything to let down Dongchu City or the Xia family. But what about you? You actually want to draw my blood, eat my flesh, and cook my bones. Do you really think that I'm some pig or dog you're rearing?"
"Xia Pu, go back and tell Xia Chunqiu that I've already used all of my blood essence to repay the Xia Family's kindness. From now on, we're no longer related to each other. So, don't bother me again!"
Yang Fan was amazed.
Not bad, this big blockhead.
When did he become so sharp-tongued? Yang Fan subconsciously sent his spiritual power downwards to probe the City Governor's Office. He quickly discovered that in a secret room of the City Governor's Office, Zhao Fengchen was constantly moving his lips, as if secretly communicating with someone.
Yang Fan instantly understood. So it was Zhao Fengchen secretly giving orders.
"Hmph!" Xia Pu snorted coldly, "Ungrateful bastard, how dare you disrespect the Ancestor, you deserve to die!"
Xia Luo's body shook, and he suddenly retreated more than ten meters.
In the secret chamber below, Zhao Fengchen vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his limbs twitching as if he had been heavily injured.
"You have observed Level 9 Martial Ancestor Xia Pu's Absolute Perfection Realm Beating Cow Through Mountains. You have comprehended it and your understanding of Beating Cow Through Mountains has deepened. Skill proficiency + 500."
"…"
Yang Fan was shocked.
This was actually hitting a cow across a mountain?
Was the Perfection Stage Hitting the Cow Across the Mountain martial skill actually so awesome?
With just a cold snort, he had severely injured Zhao Fengchen, who was on par with Chen Guang, from several hundred meters away. Zhao Fengchen did not even have the chance to retaliate.
This was too amazing. At such a long distance, without anyone noticing, who could block it?
Yang Fan felt a little guilty.
"My current cultivation is only around the strength of a Level 9 Martial Master. I'm not even as strong as Zhao Fengchen."
"But now, even a peak Martial Master like Zhao Fengchen could not take a single move from him and was forced to kneel. Doesn't that mean that if I really face this Xia Pu, I won't have the slightest chance of escaping?"
Yang Fan felt a lingering fear and a sense of crisis.
When Xia Pu passed by his door, he had paid special attention to him. Even if it was only for a moment, it was definitely not a good sign.
"Maybe after this old thing gets rid of Xia Luo, he will come back to find trouble with me. No, I can't just sit here and wait for death. I have to quickly think of a way to save myself!"
Yang Fan's mind raced. The first thing he thought of was naturally the guardian of West Chu City, Grandmaster Nan Nan.
After all, Xia Pu was a Level 9 Martial Ancestor. In the entire West Chu City, only Grandmaster Nan Nan could fight against him. If anyone else came, even if his cousin Wang Zhe came back, it would be useless.
"I heard from my cousin that Grandmaster Nan Nan has been guarding the underground tunnel recently. If he sees something wrong, he will immediately go into the tunnel."
Yang Fan could not help glancing at the north of the city. He knew that the entrance to the underground tunnel was in the north.
"Xia Pu!" Xia Luo had been plotted against. At the same time, he sensed Zhao Fengchen's condition. Instantly, he was enraged, "You old thing, you're just an old dog by Xia Chunqiu's side. How dare you be so rude to Master Luo!"
Xia Luo took a deep breath. His body instantly expanded to three times its original size. His original height of around three meters grew to around ten meters. He was a proper Grandmaster giant.
This was his strongest state after becoming a Grandmaster. His incomparably wild aura was like that of a Demonic Beast. His two bell-like eyes were filled with hostility.
"Go to hell!"
Xia Luo roared and flew straight at Xia Pu. His two giant palms flew out from his left and right, slapping Xia Pu in the middle as if he was swatting a fly.
Xia Pu did not move. He coldly looked at Xia Luo who was pressuring him and said indifferently, "Hmph, you think you're worthy?"
Boom!
When Xia Luo's two giant palms were about two meters away from Xia Pu, they were blocked by Xia Pu's Gang Qi. Two extremely powerful Qi forces collided with each other, causing a violent rumbling sound to reverberate in the air.
For a moment, the Qi forces swept in all directions like the wind. The roofs of several residential buildings near the City Governor's Office were blown away. In just a few seconds, dozens of residents were seriously injured and killed.
Only the City Governor's Office was spared because Shangguan Yuchen had activated the Protective Formation in time. Otherwise, the City Governor's Office would have been the first to bear the brunt and be seriously damaged.
Shangguan Yuchen looked gloomily at the Grandmaster Fight that was still going on above. He was furious. Xia Pu really did not take the City Governor's Office seriously. If he had not been careful and stayed near the core of the Formation, many people would have died this time.
"Xia Luo is an idiot. Didn't I tell him not to fight in the city? Why was he so impulsive? He knew he was no match for Xia Pu, but he still rushed up. Was his brain kicked by a donkey?"
"Song Yue, fully activate the Defender Formation! Lock onto Xia Pu. If he dares to move again, kill him at all costs! "
Seeing the miserable situation of the surrounding residential buildings, Shangguan Yuchen was flustered and exasperated. He made up his mind and directly ordered the guards around him to fully activate the Defender Formation.
Under normal circumstances, in order to save energy, the Defender Formation of each city was usually kept at the lowest consumption. As long as it could maintain the Spiritual Shield to isolate the radiant miasma outside the city and the aura of the people in the city, it was enough.
Unless there was a great enemy, or there were strong people beyond the Grandmaster Level fighting in the city that posed a serious threat to the safety of the residents, no one was willing to fully activate the Defender Formation.
Because the Defender Formation that was fully activated was both offensive and defensive, its consumption was astonishing. Even if it did nothing, it would consume thousands of units of Spiritual Power in a minute.
Therefore, every time the Defender Formation was activated, Shangguan Yuchen would die of heartache. He felt as if he was drinking his blood.
But this time, the furious Shangguan Yuchen could no longer care about the consumption of Spiritual Power. If he allowed Xia Pu and Xia Luo to continue making trouble in the city, half of West Chu City would be gone in a few minutes.
Song Yue received the order and directly opened the emergency communication. In less than half a second, the Spiritual Shield above West Chu City suddenly lit up. Then, endless Spiritual Power began to gather. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a blood-red long saber and locked onto Xia Pu, who was standing in the air.
Xia Pu's expression changed slightly. He directly waved his hand and restrained Xia Luo, who was about to take advantage of the situation to attack him.
Even if Xia Luo had broken through to the second level of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm and was extremely powerful, he still looked aggressive when he rushed up. But in front of Xia Pu, he was still like a child who had not graduated from kindergarten. He had no strength to resist at all.
As long as Xia Pu wanted to, he could take his life in a few minutes.
Xia Luo's body was restrained and his body quickly shrank like a deflated balloon. Soon, he returned to his normal state.
The meridians in his body were cut and his Qi and blood were imprisoned. Xia Luo's face was red from suffocation, but he could not even move his hands and feet.
Xia Pu stood in the air and glanced at the blood-red saber floating above his head. His eyes swept over the City Governor's Office and he softly said, "City Governor Shangguan, I'm only here to deal with the Xia Family's rebellion. I have no ill intentions towards West Chu City. I hope City Governor Shangguan will not misunderstand."
Seeing Xia Pu still so calm at this time, Shangguan Yuchen's relaxed expression changed again.
This guy had clearly been locked on by the City Barrier Array, but why was he not panicking or afraid? Could it be that his cultivation was so high that he did not fear the City Barrier Array's full power attack?
As the City Governor of West Chu City, Shangguan Yuchen knew very well that the City Barrier Array of West Chu City was only the most basic and low-level version. Its highest attack and defense power could only reach the level of a peak Martial Arts Grandmaster. Any higher and the energy consumption required was not something a small C-rank city like theirs could afford.
Xia Pu was so confident. Could it be that he had the confidence to withstand a powerful attack from a peak Martial Arts Grandmaster?
If that was the case, it would be troublesome. If Grandmaster Huanan did not appear, who in the entire West Chu City would be able to do anything to him?
"Grandmaster Xia Pu!" Shangguan Yuchen no longer dodged. He flew up and looked at Xia Pu from afar. "Xia Luo is now the Deputy City Governor of West Chu City. Why did you capture him so casually? And the residents of West Chu City have been killed and injured because of your aura. Do you think you can justify it by saying that you have no ill intentions? "
"Xia Luo is a member of the Xia Family of East Chu City. Capturing him is a private matter of the Xia Family. It has nothing to do with West Chu City. Not to mention you, Shangguan Yuchen, even if Grandmaster Huanan came personally, he had no reason to interfere with the internal affairs of the Xia Family. "
Xia Pu glanced at the collapsed buildings and said indifferently, "As for those people, they are just a few common ants. Their deaths are not regrettable. If City Governor Shangguan is not satisfied, I can give some compensation as an apology. "
Hearing Xia Pu's understatement of the residents who had suffered an undeserved disaster, the veins on Shangguan Yuchen's face bulged. He had an impulse to kill this old beast in front of his eyes right now.
"City Governor Shangguan." Sensing Shangguan Yuchen's irritable mood, Xia Pu raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "I advise you not to act rashly. No matter how powerful the Great City Barrier Array is, it is just an inanimate object. It might have some effect on ordinary low-level Martial Arts Grandmasters, but it might not work on me."
"If you don't want the entire West Chu City to be buried because of your impulsive actions, it's best to remove this bluff now."
"Otherwise, I promise you will regret it!"
Yang Fan gritted his teeth as he watched from five kilometers away. This old thief Xia Pu was so arrogant. He really wanted to kill him!
"Where is Grandmaster Huanan? The two grandmasters, Xia Luo and Xia Pu, are fighting inside the city. Now, even the city's great protective array has been activated. As the guardian of West Chu City, why hasn't Grandmaster Huanan appeared?"
Yang Fan was puzzled. According to common sense, Grandmaster Huanan should have already appeared when there was such a big mess in the city.
But now, Xia Pu was acting wantonly in the city, even threatening Shangguan Yuchen with the safety of the entire West Chu City, but Grandmaster Huanan was still nowhere to be seen.
This was a little abnormal.
Yang Fan was a little flustered. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the cat's head. He softly asked the cat and dog in his arms, "You two, are you sure you can deal with Xia Pu?"
The cat and dog quivered at the same time and shook their heads.
Was this idiotic owner crazy? That old man was a Level Nine Martial Arts Grandmaster, which was equivalent to a Level Six Demon King. To deal with him, was he asking them to die?
Yang Fan's handsome face darkened. He threw them aside in disgust, "Two useless snacks. You can't even deal with a Grandmaster. What's the use of you?"
