Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Big brother, I want to learn how to kill, can you teach me?"

Tong Zhan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Xiao Yi, the childish timbre of his voice trembling slightly as he asked.

Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Locked in their gaze, he even became somewhat distracted.

He had never seen such a look in a child's eyes before.

Determined, resolute, desperate, mad...

These complex negative emotions, converging in his eyes, formed a chilling and scary complex gaze.

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "Why do you want to kill?"

Tong Zhan turned his head to look at the brawny man curled up in the corner, along with the Sword Rain King, Zhao Qian Sun, and others.

The madness in his eyes grew more intense.

His teeth gritted with a metallic sound.

His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists tightly.

His youthful voice carried an overwhelming tide of hatred and a piercing murderous intent as he gritted his teeth, "I must become stronger, I must seek revenge…" His breathing grew more and more rapid, like a wounded, starving wolf staring down its assailant, "My grandparents were killed by them, my parents were chopped to death while trying to save us. If you hadn't appeared, even my sister and I would have suffered. I must become stronger, I must kill, I must seek revenge…"

The young boy's voice was youthful but exceedingly firm.

Through those blood-red eyes.

Xiao Yi could sense how angry and desperate he felt inside.

His family met a tragic death.

He was powerless to do anything.

His enemies were insolent.

Still, he was powerless.

Facing repeated setbacks did not break him, but made this young boy's heart become exceptionally determined.

A transformation had occurred.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath, seeing his past self in Tong Zhan—the helplessness against a powerful enemy, the desire to resist yet the futility of the situation. Fortunately, he had the eternal tomb, which gave him the power to turn the tide. But what about Tong Zhan? He didn't have an eternal tomb. If he hadn't met Xiao Yi, he could only watch as he and his sister Tong Yao became playthings for the Sword Rain King and others.

With a plop, Tong Zhan knelt before Xiao Yi and knocked his head on the ground repeatedly, saying word by word, "Xiao Zhenguo, please teach me!"

Looking at the fervent gaze in Tong Zhan's eyes.

Xiao Yi's lips curved up slightly as he nodded, "Alright!"

Tong Zhan suddenly looked up, his disbelief evident as he stared at Xiao Yi.

Whoosh!

A regretful light burst from Xiao Yi's hand and fell in front of Tong Zhan with a swift motion.

It was a silver three-foot longsword.

The blade shone with silver light, excessively sharp, and the icy Sword Qi seemed to carry a bone-chilling cold breeze.

Xiao Yi pointed at the Sword Rain King and the others, his face expressionless as he said, "Pick up the sword, kill them!"

"This... "

Tong Zhan's face changed as he incredulously glanced at the sword, then at the Sword Rain King and the others.

Among them, the weakest was in the Tao Tribulation Realm.

He was merely at the Physical Body Realm.

They could blow him away with just a breath!

"What's the matter? You don't dare?" Xiao Yi asked with a mocking laugh.

Tong Zhan gritted his teeth and suddenly grabbed the hilt with both hands, unsheathing the longsword with a clang. Holding the three-foot silver longsword, his blood-red eyes blazed with madness as he bit down on his teeth and roared, "Kill!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three-foot silver longsword in his hands danced wildly.

A formidable wind was generated.

But in the eyes of Sword Rain King and the others, he seemed nothing more than a buffoon on stage.

They looked at each other in disbelief, "What does Xiao Yi mean by this? To let an ant wield a sword to kill us?"

A fierce glint streaked through Sword Rain King's eyes, "Brothers, Xiao Yi's strength is formidable, and we are no match for him. However, I see that he holds this boy in high esteem. Let's capture him first. That way, Xiao Yi will hesitate to act, fearing harm to the boy. All we need is to buy time until our reinforcements arrive, then we can kill Xiao Yi in one fell swoop and pledge allegiance to the Nantian Dynasty..."

"Let's do that!"

"Damn it, let's go all out!"

The men exchanged glances.

Simultaneously, they turned to the brawny man and said, "You, go and grab that kid for me!"

"Don't worry, my lords, I'll take care of this boy!"

With a ferocious laugh, the brawny man's cultivation was also at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and he was fully confident in dealing with Tong Zhan from the mere Physical Body Realm.

Amidst a face of a savage smile,

The brawny man charged at Tong Zhan, his face twisted with cruelty, "You little bastard, forgot how your family died at my hands? You think with your pathetic ability you can seek revenge? It's like a dream, come here!"

Whoosh!

The brawny man reached out with one hand.

His elemental energy surged, condensing into a cold elemental hand that reached out to grab Tong Zhan.

Tong Yao's face went pale as she cried out desperately, "Brother, dodge quickly!"

Tong Zhan's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively thought about dodging, but then he remembered what Xiao Yi had said.

Only by killing the men before him,

Would Xiao Yi teach him the true art of killing, allowing him to protect his sister properly.

With this thought,

Tong Zhan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and holding his longsword tightly, he let out a roar, slashing his silvery longsword forward. This strike was ordinary and unremarkable; to the brawny man and the others, it was full of flaws and seemingly powerless, prompting jeers and mockery, "Did Xiao Yi send this kid to make us laugh?"

"With such an attack, even if I stood still, he couldn't break through my defense!"

"Hahaha, it's too ridiculous!"

Sword Rain King, Zhao Qian Sun, and the others showed thick scorn on their faces.

But very soon...

Their smirks disappeared completely.

Under that ordinary silver sword light, the mighty Golden Elixir Realm Peak brawny man's elemental hand was split in half with a buzzing sound by the strike. Simultaneously, as Tong Zhan followed through with his sword, the brawny man still wore a face of smugness and contempt, foolishly standing in place.

Allowing the sword to fall on his body.

Thump!

As the sword passed through,

The head rolled away.

The brawny man's body thudded onto the ground.

Hiss...

The mockery and pride of Sword Rain King and the others came to an abrupt end as they stood dumbfounded, disbelieving the scene before them, "How is this possible?"

"What exactly happened just then?"

"A sword with such power, hardly enough to break defense, yet it killed a man?"

Tong Zhan looked in disbelief at the decapitated corpse before him and at the blood-dripping longsword in his hand, swallowing hard. The scalding blood splashed onto his face, trickled into his mouth along his cheek, and the faint taste of blood did not frighten him; instead, it exhilarated him.

The bloody light in his eyes became purer and more focused.

Clang!

With a sweep of his longsword, Tong Zhan let out an earth-shattering roar from his throat, lifted his longsword like a madman, and charged toward Sword Rain King and the others.

With a roar,

Accompanied by the gleaming silver sword light that filled the sky, it sent chills down one's spine, "Kill!"

PS: With this segment, the transition in the storyline is finally complete. Tong Zhan and his sister will play a significant role in the upcoming chapters, which is why this took a bit more time. Please forgive the indulgence! More updates to come tonight, Xiao Tian continues!
