With his cultivation speed, he would definitely break through to Dou Zhe (Fighter) by the end of the year.
By the time of his coming-of-age ceremony, his combat power would rival that of a Dou Shi (Master),
so he wasn't worried about the threats these two might pose.
Moreover, this whole incident had been triggered by the foolish subordinates of these two men.
Soon, two powerful presences entered the range of Xiao Jian's spiritual awareness.
A yellow-robed elder and a bald middle-aged man walked side by side.
Before they could speak, Xiao Jian stepped forward first and said coldly:
"Huang Jing, Jacks, your subordinates sold substandard medicine and low-quality weapons in my district.
If there isn't an explanation today, the top weapon tycoon and the largest herb merchant in Utan City will be replaced!"
Their expressions were different.
"Hmph! A mere child dares to be so arrogant in front of me? Let your father say that! Today, you must give me an explanation!"
The yellow-robed elder sneered.
Jacks, frowning slightly, stepped aside and spoke with a friendly smile:
"Third Young Master Xiao, you know me...I'm just a blacksmith.
I never meddle in the affairs of the three major families.
This time, I failed to manage my subordinates. To compensate for the loss, we'll triple it. Also, if you like, I'll personally craft a weapon for you as apology!"
The yellow-robed elder looked at Jacks with disdain. Such submissiveness in a Dou Shi was shameful!
"Alright, I'll take care of it later, Uncle Jacks. But your subordinate here…"
Xiao Jian smiled, then looked at the nearly dead weapon shopkeeper on the ground.
"This fool almost got me killed. If Third Young Master doesn't mind, may I deal with him?"
Jacks' face darkened, and he coldly looked at the man on the ground.
"Go ahead, Uncle Jacks!"
With Xiao Jian's signal, the guards grabbed the man and handed him to Jacks.
"Snikt!"
In the next moment, Jacks snapped the man's neck decisively, without hesitation.
"Hmph, cowardly wretch, scared by a mere child!"
The yellow-robed elder sneered as well.
Jacks glanced at Huang Jing, then ignored him, carrying the corpse aside.
"You think the top weapon tycoon of Utan City got there by chance? It's because I know what I can and can't touch.
No self-awareness and you still want to survive here? Foolish!"
Huang Jing saw two of his former shop guards now serving Xiao Jian and sneered:
"Old Huang, with the little gold you give each month, only a fool would risk themselves for you.
Following the Third Young Master is choosing a bright future!"
One of them couldn't help but retort.
"Hmph, such arrogance!"
Huang Jing's Dou Shi aura exploded, pressuring Xiao Jian and the guards.
Xiao Jian felt the immense pressure but activated his Dou Qi, performing the Wind Hawk Kick and Drifting Dragon Step.
The Wind Hawk Kick not only attacks but also boosts speed.
The Drifting Dragon Step enhances agility.
He couldn't avoid all attacks, but dodging the first wave was enough.
"How dare you!"
A hoarse voice shouted. As Xiao Jian dodged the first strike, Huang Jing was knocked away by a figure.
"Grand Elder, your timed rescue is no fun!"
Xiao Jian laughed at the elder standing in front of him.
"Hmph, you're usually gentle, so why act recklessly today? How dare you provoke a Dou Shi?"
The Grand Elder turned to Xiao Jian, annoyed.
"I sensed you were coming, otherwise I wouldn't act so boldly."
Xiao Jian smiled, speaking with confidence.
When Huang Jing and Jacks arrived, he had already sensed the Grand Elder's presence, which gave him courage.
"Forget it, we'll settle the rest later. Anyone dares to touch our Xiao family, it won't end so easily!"
The Grand Elder gave Xiao Jian a helpless look, then walked toward Huang Jing.
