Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 75: Chief of the Linglong Guards

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Chief of the Linglong Guards

Whether it was the Linglong Guards or Miao Family’s ordinary guards, they had all gripped their weapons tightly by now.

They had no desire to engage because they knew they would die.

Yet, faced with Miao Tengkong’s orders, they had no choice but to comply.

Next month, Miao Tengkong would become the entire Miao Family’s Patriarch.

Disobeying the Family Head Order was considered treason.

"Linglong Guards, what are you waiting for!" Miao Tengkong stepped back a few steps before roaring again.

Ten Linglong Guards, hundreds of Miao Family guards—could they really not subdue one Lu Xiao?

The Miao Family spends so much money on you each year, just to cultivate the stench of cowardice that fears death?

"Charge together!"

The next second, ten Linglong Guards moved simultaneously.

As the Linglong Guards charged at Lu Xiao, around them, hundreds of Miao Family guards quickly closed off the encirclement.

Lu Xiao licked his lips, thinking since you all are so eager to die, I won’t hold back.

"Soar!" Lu Xiao’s body burst from its spot, and in an instant, he had plunged into the midst of the ten Linglong Guards.

Before anyone could react, Lu Xiao had already crossed past the ten Linglong Guards and stood in front of Miao Tengkong.

"Three down, wanna keep going?" Lu Xiao held up three fingers, shaking them at Miao Tengkong.

As soon as the words fell, two thuds sounded from behind Lu Xiao.

Two more Linglong Guards fell, their throats slit with one cut, just like Miao Manzi.

The Miao Family guards who had initially surrounded him were like they had hit a pause button, the remaining eight Linglong Guards shaking in fear.

Two more had died...

The key point was that they had not even seen Lu Xiao make a move.

He just charged in, then whoosh, swept past and casually ended two more.

This wasn’t even a fight, they were completely outclassed, the disparity ridiculously massive.

Miao Tengkong was finally panicking by this time.

Seeing Lu Xiao so close by and feeling the overwhelming murderous intent emanating from him, Miao Tengkong’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He wanted to run, to leave this place, but his legs just wouldn’t move.

"Not talking, huh, then I’ll just kill two more," Lu Xiao waved his dagger.

The remaining eight Linglong Guards nearly knelt before Lu Xiao right then.

Stop killing, or there’ll be none left.

Damn it, Miao Tengkong, what are you freezing up for, say something!

Are you blind? Can’t you see that Lu Xiao’s strength is far beyond what we can withstand?

And besides, he already said he was here for his wife.

I don’t know what you high-ups are doing day by day, messing around, stealing someone’s wife! Have you never seen a woman in your life or what!

"Don’t... don’t kill anymore!" Seeing Lu Xiao about to act again, Miao Tengkong finally cried out.

With three Linglong Guards already dead, losing more would not only shake the foundations of the Miao Family but also cost him the support of the Linglong Guards.

"Can my wife come out now?" Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked Miao Tengkong.

Miao Tengkong swallowed hard, his breathing quickened, and his expression turned somewhat fierce.

Should he just submit?

Should he really bow low?

Next month I am supposed to inherit the position of the Miao Family Patriarch. If I yield now, how will the Miao Family see me afterward?

They would definitely mock me, deride me, and say that I am the weakest Patriarch in the history of the Miao Family.

The Miao Family Patriarch represents the entire Miao Family’s dignity.

This dignity, I cannot lose! Nor can I afford to lose it!

"Linglong Guards are being killed, and you, as the chief, still aren’t stepping in?" Miao Tengkong suddenly yelled at the air.

This was his last resort, and also the one he least wanted to use.

It’s not for any special reason, other than not getting along with the chief of the Linglong Guards, like they were never on the same page.

The chief of the Linglong Guards? Lu Xiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

That’s right, he had forgotten about the chief of the Linglong Guards, who, according to Miao Chong, ranked among the top ten on the Divine List.

If that was true, then defeating this chief would mean more than just the Miao Family feeling the pain.

Hope rekindled in the eyes of the Miao Family guards and Linglong Guards.

Yes, there’s still the chief!

The chief has unparalleled strength and can surely hold off Lu Xiao.

Moreover, with so many of them, their chances of success would be high.

"Tsk..." After about ten seconds, a voice tinged with disdain echoed down the mountain path.

"The Linglong Guards being killed, isn’t that your problem, Miao Tengkong?"

"Why don’t you just give the man his wife back?"

"Backed into a corner and you submit, is it that hard?"

"What did I say? You, Miao Tengkong, just don’t cut it. If you become the Miao Family Patriarch, the Miao Family is doomed sooner or later."

A stream of mocking and sarcastic comments continued unrelentingly.

Miao Tengkong’s face turned livid instantly; could this damned guy not read the room at all?

Lu Xiao is slapping our Miao Family faces, and you still annoy me!

What you should be doing right now is taking care of Lu Xiao to preserve the Miao Family’s dignity and honor.
