Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 74: They Decided to Die Together...

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: They Decided to Die Together...

The remaining ten Linglong Guards, although they did not retreat, had just as much shock and fear in their eyes as everyone else.

Miao Manzi was usually arrogant and annoying, but his two-meter-tall frame was there for all to see, as was his strength.

Among the Linglong Guards, aside from the Chief, probably no one could confidently say they could beat Miao Manzi.

Yet just now, Miao Manzi had died.

The other party had casually struck twice, one blade severing Miao Manzi’s hand, another slicing open his throat.

"Who’s next? Or do you all want to come at once?" Lu Xiao hooked his finger provocatively.

If you come at me one by one, I’ll kill you one by one.

If you all come at once, then I’ll give you a family bucket meal deal so you can all go down together.

Lu Xiao was also curious to see how many Linglong Guards would have to die before the Miao Family would feel the pain.

High-level experts like these, whether nurtured in-house or recruited from outside, required a significant expenditure of resources.

All ten Linglong Guards were silent. Go up? Go up your hammer!

Didn’t they see what happened to Miao Manzi?

Miao Manzi’s eyes were still open even now; he died with his eyes wide open.

"If you don’t speak up, then I’ll just make my pick, huh."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, all ten men’s expressions were filled with resentment. Since they’d become Linglong Guards, they had never been so humiliated before.

But as the saying goes, adversity leads to growth.

Go ahead and humiliate us; this kind of blow will only make us stronger in the future.

As for now... forget it. I don’t want to die just yet.

"The Miao Family grounds are not a place for you to act wildly!"

"Everybody together, he may be strong, but we of the Miao Family are all brave!"

"That’s right, raise the weapons in your hands!" The Linglong Guards swiftly began to instigate the other guards to join in.

Lu Xiao was also stunned by this ploy; what shameless fellows.

They were cowards themselves and didn’t dare to step forward, yet had the gall to urge others to rush to their deaths.

The surrounding hundred or so guards looked at each other hesitantly; none of them wanted to move forward.

Lu Xiao had killed Miao Manzi with a single move.

The guards knew just how strong the Linglong Guards were.

Every year the clan held sparring matches, and nearly every Linglong Guard could take on ten of them single-handedly.

In other words, the real combat power of these hundred men wasn’t even equivalent to that of ten Linglong Guards.

Which meant that even if they all attacked together, they would most likely all be killed by Lu Xiao.

"No matter who you are, you’d better leave right now!"

"Let me tell you, we in the Miao Family, especially the Linglong Guards, are the bravest!"

"If you don’t get lost, and all the Linglong Guards attack, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it!" someone among the guards yelled at Lu Xiao.

The muscles on Lu Xiao’s face couldn’t help but twitch.

Goodness, even the ordinary guards had some brains, cleverly tossing the hot potato back to the Linglong Guards.

The faces of the Linglong Guards darkened; these useless fools, if you’re told to fight, then fight. What’s the use of all this talk?

Are you more important or are we, the Linglong Guards, more important? Don’t you have a clue in your mind?

"Enough!" A loud rebuke rang out, followed by the crowd parting once again.

Even the Linglong Guards unconsciously made way for the middle-aged man who had appeared.

Clearly, the middle-aged man held a high position within the main Miao Family.

"Lu Xiao, is it? Qin Youling is indeed with our Miao Family."

"As far as I know, your relationship with Qin Youling is just a contractual marriage, and there is no real affection between you."

"Moreover, didn’t you intend to arrange the divorce procedures, hm?"

The middle-aged man spoke a few sentences in a measured tone that sounded polite enough, but Lu Xiao could still clearly feel the condescension ingrained in the man’s bones.

Unfortunately for him, Lu Xiao disliked nothing more than this superior attitude.

"Intending to arrange means it hasn’t been arranged yet."

"As long as the divorce isn’t finalized, Qin Youling is still my wife, Lu Xiao."

"Alright, the countdown starts now." Lu Xiao suddenly pulled out his phone and activated the timer function.

The middle-aged man gave a slight start. A timer? Time for what?

"Every minute that passes, I’ll kill one Linglong Guard, until my wife appears before me," Lu Xiao said coldly.

He was tired of dragging this out. After dealing with Qin Youling’s matter, he had more important things to attend to.

About his own origins. He had to find out the truth today.

And he also needed to know whether Miao Yu was indeed his mother.

"Audacious!" The middle-aged man cursed angrily.

Slap!

Lu Xiao backhandedly slapped the middle-aged man’s face.

"Shut your mouth. Say one more word, and I’ll kill you first."

Seeing the middle-aged man being slapped, the place fell deathly silent.

Even Miao Chong couldn’t help but swallow hard; Lu Xiao was truly reckless.

Don’t you even ask who the other person is? You just slap away as soon as you’re provoked!

"All those under the Linglong Guards, all those under the Miao Family, kill him!" The middle-aged man suddenly roared, his eyes a furious red.

Miao Tengkong had never thought someone would dare to slap him in the face.

From childhood to adulthood, even his father had never hit him.

And now, some nobody had dared to severely slap him.

Keep in mind, next month he was set to take over as the Miao Family Patriarch.

If he didn’t kill Lu Xiao today, how would he ever lead the Miao Family in the future?

"Originally, you still had a chance," Lu Xiao raised his head, his last thread of patience with the Miao Family having utterly evaporated.
