Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister
Chapter 74 - 73: Absolute Strength

Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Absolute Strength

"What?"

These were the last two words Yao Tian uttered in his life.

Even in death, he couldn’t understand how he lost.

In past arena battles, there had never been a death. How did it change with him...?

"Unwilling! Uncomprehending!"

Chen Xuan withdrew his hand from Yao Tian’s chest, giving him a gentle push.

With a ’bang,’ Yao Tian’s body fell to the ground, his icy blade clattering down, those eyes staring at Chen Xuan even in death.

He died with eyes wide open.

"Tian’er!"

Yao De’s voice was heart-wrenching.

His old hands trembled uncontrollably, staring in disbelief at the arena.

His most promising son, Yao Tian... was dead!

"Impossible, impossible..." At this moment, Yao De had lost his mind, repeating these words incessantly.

Not just him, everyone beneath the arena couldn’t believe it.

A wave of shock.

"What?"

"This..."

"It’s over..."

"Wasn’t Yao Tian wearing the supposedly invincible Purple Armor?"

.....

They thought it was an intense arena battle.

After all, Yao Tian had the Purple Armor and icy blade, and was a sixth-grade Martial Artist.

He was supposed to be invincible,

But,

In just an instant, Chen Xuan’s punch pierced through his heart, even crushing it mercilessly.

This... was beyond their imagination.

"Yue Nan, how can he be this strong!" Even Pei Hu was shocked watching this scene.

Too fast, he didn’t even react in time.

However, Pei Yuenan shook her head at him, motioning towards Yao De to suggest keeping silent for now.

"You... deserve to die!"

At this moment, Yao De had completely lost his sanity.

His fifth-grade strength erupted fully, his long hair waving in an unseen wind.

His fierce eyes glaring menacingly.

In an instant, he lunged towards the arena.

He had completely lost his senses, forgetting this was the black market.

A palm strike aimed at Chen Xuan, using almost all his power.

The immense pressure of a fifth-grade martial artist surged towards Chen Xuan.

Suddenly,

Chen Xuan’s every hair stood on end.

Seeing Yao De approaching fast, he didn’t even have time to react.

"Is this the power of a fifth-grade?"

Chen Xuan swallowed his saliva, his expression serious.

The Qi in his acupoints stirred restlessly.

"Kill!" he shouted fiercely.

Just as he prepared to strike with all his might, a figure appeared between the two of them.

Ning Xian!

In an instant, a palm strike was launched.

On the arena, Yao De and Ning Xian’s palms collided.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion.

Yao De’s body flew back like a curve, crashing heavily to the ground.

Meanwhile, Ning Xian stood motionless on the arena.

This was the power of the Black Market’s Chief Steward.

Both were fifth-grade, but his strength crushed Yao De’s.

"Father... father..." Yao Jing hurried to Yao De’s side, helping him up, "Father, how are you?"

"Cough, cough, cough!!!!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yao De’s face turned visibly pale.

"Interference in the arena battle is prohibited, Yao De, this is the first time. Consider it a face-saver for the Yao Family. Next time, there will be no mercy!"

Ning Xian’s tone was calm, but his words carried a chilling threat.

Those around felt a shiver in their hearts.

This was the strength of the Black Market. Even if the Yao Family was the top family in Yunze County, with Yao De even as Patriarch, in Ning Xian’s words, he could be killed without a second thought, without leaving him any face.

"I was reckless, blinded by grief of losing a son and broke the rules," he was outmatched, helpless, the black market was too powerful, not to mention Ning Xian was just the Chief Steward.

He had no choice but to bow his head.

But, the immense pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one left him unwilling.

He looked hatefully at Chen Xuan on the arena.

"What about him?"

"The Black Market arena battles always prohibit lethal attacks. This is a rule of the Black Market."

"Chief Steward Ning, what do you think should be done with him?"

However, facing his question, Ning Xian merely explained calmly, "No one wanted this to happen, no one expected it to happen so fast, Yao Tian couldn’t even withstand a single round, it was truly unexpected."

"Moreover, I believe Chen Xuan was equally surprised, wasn’t he?"

He said, looking towards him.

"Yes, Chief Steward Ning, I really didn’t expect his strength to be this weak... ah, if I had known, I would have held back, but it was said he wore the Purple Armor, so I thought it was fine and didn’t think too much."

At this moment, Chen Xuan also showed ’remorse’!

Upon hearing his shameless words, Pei Yuenan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Others might not know the situation, but how could she not?

She truly wanted to laugh.

But dared not, forced to suppress it with all her might.

"You all... good, very good... such bias..."

"Father!"

Yao Jing hurriedly interrupted him. How could such words be spoken here?

That would surely offend the black market completely.

Would there still be any dealings with the black market for the Yao Family?

And those forces dependent on the Yao Family,

the consequences would surely be beyond what they could bear.

He quickly apologized, "I’m sorry Chief Steward Ning, my father has lost his mind over my brother’s death and was speaking nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart."

Saying this, he respectfully bowed to Ning Xian.

"Enough, a white-haired man sending off a black-haired one can be understood. Take Yao Tian’s body and go back."

"Yes, thank you Chief Steward Ning." Then he looked at Yao Tian’s lackey, Tong Shiping. "Go, bring Tian’Er down!"

"Ah~~~"

Tong Shiping was almost scared out of his wits at this moment. Yao Tian, his master, was dead.

It happened in an instant.

He knew why Chen Xuan wanted to kill his master.

Moreover,

it was he who had a hand in Wang Daming’s death, and now he was asked to go and collect Yao Tian’s corpse.

With Chen Xuan still standing there!

Wasn’t this asking for his life?

But he didn’t dare defy Yao Jing’s words. He might have had the courage in the past, but now... he didn’t dare!

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling about?"

Yao Jing saw him unmoving and was very impatient.

"Okay, okay, Young Master, I’ll go now." Tong Shiping nodded repeatedly, letting out a long breath.

His mind calmed down a bit.

"There are so many people here, he wouldn’t dare to do anything."

"Right, he definitely wouldn’t dare to make a move."

Having assured himself that Chen Xuan wouldn’t act here, he slowly walked towards the arena.

Step by step, but he lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Xuan on the stage.

However, Yao Tian’s corpse was right at his feet at the moment.

Tong Shiping, though unwilling in his heart, had no choice but to brace himself and walk to Chen Xuan’s side, then bend down to pick up Yao Tian’s corpse. Just as he was about to step off the stage,

Chen Xuan’s voice rang in his ears like a death knell.

"You’re next, I think you know that, right?"

Judging from the fearful look he gave earlier, Chen Xuan already suspected it.

Moreover, after saying this, he clearly saw Tong Shiping’s body tremble.

It confirmed his suspicion; he knew about it!

Yet Tong Shiping forced himself to endure the fear in his heart, behaving as if he hadn’t heard Chen Xuan, keeping his head down, and carrying Yao Tian off the stage.

"Ah, so there’s a grudge then."

Ning Xian suddenly understood in his heart. No wonder he went for the kill right from the start.

This... surely Master Chen had instructed this.

After all, wanting to kill someone on the stage was a one-time opportunity.

It seems Yao Tian did not die unjustly.

And even if he didn’t die this time, it would be unlikely for him to live long.

"Chen Xiu’s student is quite strong, huh?"

Zuo Qiu Ming, from the loft, exclaimed.

"Yes, very strong, between sixth grade and fifth grade, even that punch to kill Yao Tian just now could compare to some ordinary fifth grades."

Primordial Thunder was also surprised in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiu has such an outstanding student; the key is that he’s too young, with limitless prospects.

"Also, pay attention to this Yao Family. Isn’t it said they have connections with some big figure in Celestial Water Commandery? Don’t let them cause trouble."

"Got it, rest assured, there won’t be any chaos."

For people like them, who are essentially the rulers of Yunze County, the most wished-for thing is stability, as it secures the greatest benefits.

Afterwards, the two of them successively left the loft.

Regarding the West District Hall Master battle, it never interested them; they were simply curious about how strong Chen Xiu’s student really was, for him to be so confident in front of the two of them days ago.

Now it seemed... that old thing really pulled it off.

The Yao Family left, as did some families closely allied with them.

At that moment, on the stage, Ning Xian officially announced Chen Xuan as the West District Hall Master.

Below the stage, the families large and small in Yunze County began congratulating him one after another.

After all, to them Chen Xuan was a hot commodity now.

The large swath of fat meat that is the West District, who wouldn’t want a taste?

Especially the Pei Family.

At this moment, Pei Hu quickly asked Pei Yuenan beside him, "Last time we helped him, and your relationship with that woman from Chen Mansion is quite good. Shouldn’t our shops in the West District have no problem?"

Every time the position of West District Hall Master rotates, the lease of all shops needs to restart accordingly.

Moreover,

The Hall Master has absolute power over each district, not even the black market interferes.

As long as enough money is paid on time, that’s sufficient.

This is why the Yao Family values the position of West District Hall Master so much.

But now the Yao Family is left with nothing, which means the best outcome for both Pei and Chen families.

Moreover, with Pei Yuenan’s good relations with Liu Rushi, and having helped last time, it seemed quite secure, which is why Pei Hu thought this way.

"Don’t know."

Liu Rushi shook her head, her heart bitter.

If she’d known it would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have tested Chen Xuan like that last time.

"What, don’t know? Why?"

When she said this, Pei Hu’s face immediately changed; he knew the West District had the most shops for them, and its income was quite significant.

If something went wrong, Pei Family would suffer.

"Don’t ask, annoying."

Pei Yuenan was somewhat vexed, glaring at him.

"Alright, let’s talk about this when we get back."

Pei Geng intervened to stop them, seeing his daughter’s unpleasant expression.

He also heard what the two just said.

But why is she acting this way?
