After Being Reborn, I Refuse To Be The Holy Son Of The Sect Anymore

Chapter 88:

The Xiao Family’s ancestral residence, rear courtyard.

In a quiet little courtyard, a murderous aura filled the air.

Xiao Yang had mercilessly beaten Qin Fei before flinging him away like a lifeless dog.

“Boom!”

Qin Fei slammed into a decorative rock in the courtyard with immense force, shattering it into pieces before collapsing onto the ground.

“Die!”

Xiao Yang’s eyes were bloodshot, his rage turning him into a ferocious beast. Losing all control, he charged at Qin Fei like a raging storm.

This was the man who had dared to dig up his grandfather’s grave and had now incited his parents to destroy his grandfather’s ancestral home.

Today, he would kill Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang was consumed by fury.

Everyone around was stunned by the scene.

“Junior Brother…” Jiang Ting’s heart-wrenching cry echoed.

“Senior Brother!” Song Qiang shouted in alarm.

If Xiao Yang really killed Qin Fei, he would face the death penalty. Killing a fellow disciple was a capital crime. Not even the Azure Sun Sword Sect’s Holy Son could escape the sect’s laws.

Xiao Zhenshan and the others were terrified. If Xiao Yang killed Qin Fei, the Xiao Family would also face ruination.

“Die!” Xiao Yang roared, aiming a deadly punch at the staggering Qin Fei, who was struggling to get up.

“Don’t!” Jiang Ting screamed desperately.

“Stop!”

A thunderous shout exploded like a clap of thunder above everyone’s heads, shaking their eardrums and rattling their souls.

“Bang!”

A figure descended from the sky, landing between Xiao Yang and Qin Fei. With a single hand, they blocked Xiao Yang’s incoming fist.

“Boom!”

A powerful and destructive aura erupted from the figure, causing the courtyard to be engulfed in a storm of dust and debris.

Xiao Yang stood firm like a mountain, while the figure staggered backward.

The blast of energy forced everyone around to shield their eyes.

When Xiao Yang looked up, he realized it was Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie.

“Xiao Yang, are you insane?” Lei Lie glared at Xiao Yang, his face pale as he suppressed the blood surging in his chest. His trembling right hand, hidden behind his back, betrayed his shock.

Lei Lie was astonished. How could Xiao Yang, a Heaven Martial Realm cultivator, possess such terrifying strength? Truly worthy of his True Yang Sacred Body and exceptional talent in swordsmanship.

“Spirit Martial Realm?” Xiao Yang’s anger briefly subsided as he regained clarity. Lei Lie had broken through to the Spirit Martial Realm.

Everyone was left in awe. Xiao Yang had actually forced the Law Enforcement Elder to retreat?

“Step aside!” Xiao Yang demanded coldly, his gaze fixed on Lei Lie.

“Xiao Yang, you are a disciple of the Azure Sun Sword Sect and its Holy Son. Are you openly defying sect rules?” Lei Lie’s voice thundered, his aura oppressive.

“So what? Today, I will kill him, no matter who stands in my way!” Xiao Yang roared, his fiery sword aura spreading in all directions, suffocating everyone with its intensity.

“Xiao Yang, how dare you?” Lei Lie’s fury surged, lightning crackling around him like serpents, exuding a chilling destructive aura.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Xiao Yang’s eyes burned with defiance, his aura clashing head-on with Lei Lie’s.

“You…” Lei Lie was about to reprimand him when Xiao Yang’s left hand shot out, grabbing Lei Lie by the collar.

“What…” Lei Lie was utterly stunned.

He attempted to counter, but to his horror, he found his sword energy sealed by Xiao Yang. In the next moment, Xiao Yang flung him through the air.

“Boom!” 

Lei Lie crashed through the roof of a nearby house, disappearing inside.

“…”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The Law Enforcement Elder had been thrown like a rag doll by their Senior Brother?

“Master…” Lei Renjie snapped out of his shock and rushed to check on Lei Lie.

Now, no one could stop Xiao Yang. He was determined to kill Qin Fei.

“Unfilial son! If you want to kill Xiao Fei, you’ll have to kill me first!” Xiao Zhenshan roared, shielding Qin Fei with his body.

“Yang’er, have you gone mad?” Chen Ruolan cried, standing in front of Xiao Yang.

“Brother, enough is enough!” Xiao Yue pleaded, joining the others to block Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother, if you want to kill Junior Brother, you’ll have to step over my dead body first!” Jiang Ting screamed, rushing to shield Qin Fei.

Covered in dust, her hair disheveled and her appearance miserable from her earlier fall, Jiang Ting’s eyes were filled with determination.

“You…” Xiao Yang seethed with anger, his heart heavy with betrayal.

This scene was eerily familiar, a repeat of his past life.

Back then, Jiang Ting had thrown herself in front of his sword to protect Qin Fei, allowing Qin Fei to fatally stab him. His parents and sister had also defended Qin Fei, accusing Xiao Yang and threatening him with their lives.

Did they not realize that in their previous lives, the very person they defended had been their executioner?

“Foster Father, Foster Mother, Xiao Yue, Senior Sister, please don’t let me cause a rift between you and Senior Brother!” Qin Fei pleaded hypocritically.

“Xiao Fei, don’t say that. Just leave!” Xiao Yue said, attempting to pull Qin Fei away.

But as Qin Fei moved, something fell from his pocket onto the ground.

Xiao Yang’s eyes immediately turned blood-red.

Qin Fei bent to pick it up, but Xiao Yang gestured, and the item flew into his hand.

It was his own storage pouch.

“Why is my spatial pouch with Qin Fei?” Xiao Yang asked, looking at Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.

“Well…” Song Qiang hesitated.

“Brother Holy Son, your parents came to us and demanded your pouch. We initially refused, but they insisted that as your parents, your belongings were theirs too…” Lin Wangchuan admitted awkwardly.

“So that’s how it is… sigh.” Xiao Yang’s heart sank.

“Unfilial son, we’re your parents. Your things are naturally ours,” Xiao Zhenshan said matter-of-factly.

“So, you take my belongings to pamper your precious foster son?” Xiao Yang’s voice was icy.

“Brother, you injured Xiao Fei. Shouldn’t you compensate him?” Xiao Yue retorted coldly.

“Silence!”

“Slap!”

Xiao Yang waved his hand, and a resounding slap landed on Xiao Yue’s face.

Xiao Yue froze, stunned that her doting elder brother had struck her.

“Brother, you…” Tears welled up in her eyes.

“I said, I owe no one. Why should I compensate anyone?” Xiao Yang’s voice was frosty.

“Yang’er, how could you hit your sister?” Chen Ruolan scolded.

“She deserved it. If this is the kind of sister I have, I’d rather not have one. And you, bleeding your own son dry to pamper your precious foster son—how could I end up with parents like you?” Xiao Yang was exhausted, his voice laced with despair.

“Brother, you’ve gone too far…” Xiao Yue sobbed, her tears streaming down.

“Unfilial son! You dare speak to us like this? We only took a little of your resources for Xiao Fei. How could you treat us this way?” Xiao Zhenshan bellowed.

“A little? Do you even realize how much you’ve taken from me since I joined the Azure Sun Sword Sect? And now you want more, to pamper this ingrate?” Xiao Yang’s voice trembled with anger.

“We’re your parents. This is your duty,” Xiao Zhenshan declared, unrepentant.

“From this moment on, I won’t give you another thing. If you need resources, ask your precious foster son!” Xiao Yang declared coldly.

“You dare!” Xiao Zhenshan roared, his face flushed with rage.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? You never cared for me. It was Grandpa who raised me, protected me, and taught me.” Xiao Yang’s voice cracked with emotion.

“Where were you when I was bullied? Where were you when I was forced to eat dog food by this so-called cousin of mine?” He pointed at Xiao Zhenlong, who trembled in fear.

“No matter what, we are your parents,” Xiao Zhenshan said dismissively.

Xiao Yang’s heart shattered.

They would never change. They would never understand.

“Are you determined to protect Qin Fei?” Xiao Yang asked.

“Yes!” Xiao Zhenshan declared firmly, echoed by Chen Ruolan and Xiao Yue.

Even Jiang Ting stood in front of Qin Fei, glaring at Xiao Yang as if he were a monster.

“Fine. Then one life for another. From now on, I owe the Xiao Family nothing.”

Xiao Yang gave Qin Fei one last cold glance and turned to leave.

“Foster Father, if Senior Brother severs ties with you because of me, I’ll be a sinner for life,” Qin Fei whimpered, feigning concern.

“Xiao Yang, you are my son. You carry the Xiao Family’s blood. You’ll always be a part of this family!” Xiao Zhenshan shouted after him.

Xiao Yang’s heart remained cold.

A family like this? He wanted none of it.

After the Northern Territory Tournament, he would sever all ties with the Xiao Family and the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

He would start anew.

This time, he would live for himself.

Without looking back, Xiao Yang walked away from the Xiao Family’s ancestral residence.

“Disrespectful, lawless brat!” Lei Lie’s angry roar echoed from the courtyard.
