Chapter 38: Thirty-eight, sorry to disturb you!
To be honest, the combat strength Yun Xiao displayed today truly astonished the Shang Family Head, Shang Yan. With such a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment, coupled with covetous intentions towards Yun Xiao’s secrets, it was impossible for Shang Yan to vocally support Yun Xiao from any perspective.
A kid who was never favored, it would be nothing if he were to be killed. Yun Xiao had no significant background; his mother, Shang Li, was merely in the early stage of the Meridian Gathering Realm, and his father’s whereabouts were unknown. Shang Yan was not worried about any repercussions.
Although such actions were extremely despicable, in order to diminish one enemy for the clan, and possibly elevate the clan’s status, Shang Yan was willing to abandon all pretense of dignity. Besides, he had never had a good impression of Yun Xiao.
On the arena, Yun Xiao had never anticipated that Shang Ying would stoop to such an extent. This completely redefined his understanding of despicableness. From this moment on, he no longer felt any familial affection for this clan.
Unfortunately, Yun Xiao was somewhat baffled about how he had neutralized Shang Ying’s third move. If he had to face it again, he wasn’t sure if he would still be so lucky, since the fiery sensation in his palm seemed to have already vanished.
Shang Ying’s approach was extremely swift, and filled with a murderous intent. Now that matters had gone this far, in order to avoid prolonged complications, only by completely annihilating this detestable brat could he potentially salvage some reputation.
The saying "showing no mercy" perfectly interpreted Shang Ying’s current state. Looking at Yun Xiao’s feeble presence, he truly believed that Yun Xiao must have resorted to some sorcery, otherwise how could he have survived that third strike?
This time, Shang Ying did not utilize any Meridian Techniques; instead, he intended to rely on his pure physical strength to blast Yun Xiao away. The punch he threw held no restraint.
Just as Yun Xiao was about to exert all his might in counteracting the attack, a figure rushed out from behind and instantly shielded him. Recognizing the obscure appearance of the figure, Yun Xiao was so shocked he felt as if his soul would leave his body.
Because Yun Xiao was almost certain that within the entire Shang Family, the only person who could and would dare to intervene on his behalf at this moment was his mother, Shang Li.
