Chapter 19: Courting Death

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Courting Death

Chen Xiao rose to his feet and walked over. Although they were in a contractual marriage, they were still husband and wife in name. Taking a step back, even if they were strangers, he couldn’t just stand idly by and watch a man abuse a woman so cruelly.

Though he wasn’t one to meddle, he still had a man’s fighting spirit in his heart.

Jiang Zihang slowly turned his head, his eyes savage. "What did you say?"

The dozen or so burly men surrounding him also turned, their cold gazes fixed on Chen Xiao.

The atmosphere was tense to the breaking point, heavy and oppressive.

Jiang Zihang cracked his neck as he walked up to Chen Xiao, poking him in the chest and sneering, "Is this your wife? Not only am I going to touch her, I’m going to play with her and screw her! What about it? Are you furious? No matter how furious you are, you’ll suck it up for this Young Master!"

CRACK! The next moment, all the bones in Jiang Zihang’s fingers were snapped.

"AHHH—" A piercing scream tore through everyone’s eardrums.

With a single kick from Chen Xiao, Jiang Zihang was sent flying, smashing into the corridor wall outside. He vomited blood nonstop, his life force draining away.

This scene made everyone’s pupils shrink.

Has he gone mad? This guy dares to lay a hand on King Jiang Zhong’s son? In all of Yuncheng City, who hadn’t heard of the infamous Jiang Zihang? Who didn’t know that King Jiang Zhong was domineering and ruthless, and that he completely spoiled his only son?

"It’s over! It’s all over now!"

"This kid is dead for sure..."

"Are you... are you insane?! How dare you hit Young Master Jiang?" Even Luo Jianghe and his wife furiously reprimanded Chen Xiao. By offending Jiang Tiannan’s son, their entire Luo Family was doomed!

"Chen Xiao..." Luo Qingli was also stunned. She hadn’t expected his seemingly frail body to erupt with such terrifying power, nor had she ever imagined that he would fly into a rage for her sake. After all, even her own parents had been petrified at the mere mention of Jiang Tiannan’s name.

"AHHH!!!" Jiang Zihang roared with grief and fury. "Kill him for me!"

The thugs charged forward, about ten of them swarming Chen Xiao like a whirlwind. A few even brandished folding knives, their strikes vicious and deadly.

The onlookers couldn’t bear to watch the gruesome scene they were sure would follow.

However, their expressions soon began to freeze. Their mockery and pity morphed into shock, and then into utter disbelief.

In less than ten seconds, all of the burly thugs were scattered across the ground. Chen Xiao had beaten every single one of them until they were crippled, leaving them without the strength to even stand.

"This..." Everyone swallowed hard.

These thugs weren’t ordinary people, but ruthless men who lived on the knife’s edge! And Chen Xiao took them all down?

Chen Xiao ignored their shocked stares and walked over to help Luo Qingli to her feet. "Are you alright?"

"I’m... I’m fine."

Luo Qingli was a little disheveled. Thinking of how Chen Xiao had unhesitatingly acted for her, her gaze softened.

This guy might seem unreliable, but at critical moments, he gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

"Go to hell!"

Jiang Zihang suddenly shot up from the ground, wielding his folding knife and stabbing at Chen Xiao’s back.

"Be careful!"

In a panic, Luo Qingli could only shove Chen Xiao aside.

The folding knife plunged into her arm with a sickening tear. She staggered backward with a muffled groan as a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Bright red blood stained her snow-white skin.

Chen Xiao’s heart lurched violently.

"You bastards, I’ll kill you both!" Jiang Zihang’s eyes were crazed as he lunged forward again with the knife.

But at that moment, Chen Xiao’s expression turned incredibly savage. A murderous aura surged from his body.

He suddenly grabbed Jiang Zihang’s wrist.

Jiang Zihang’s charge came to an abrupt halt, and he found himself completely unable to move. His face flushed red with effort.

CRACK!

Murderous intent flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes as he slowly twisted, brutally snapping Jiang Zihang’s wrist.

"AHHH!!!" Jiang Zihang’s bloodcurdling scream echoed in everyone’s ears.

Chen Xiao still held his arm in a death grip. His eyes, now as red as blood, were fixed on him as if looking at a dead man. "Are you looking to die?"

Another sharp CRACK rang out. Jiang Zihang’s knee buckled backward at an unnatural angle. A shard of white bone pierced through his skin as blood spurted out gruesomely. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body trembling uncontrollably, his face a mask of agony.

HUFF! HUFF!

The breathing of everyone present grew ragged.

This is Jiang Tiannan’s son! The Local Tyrant of Yuncheng City! Has this guy gone completely mad?

However, it wasn’t over yet.

Chen Xiao stomped down, snapping Jiang Zihang’s other arm.

The sickening sound of breaking bone was clearly audible.

At this moment, Chen Xiao seemed possessed by a demon god, radiating an overwhelmingly oppressive and terrifying killing intent.

The thugs were petrified, shivering uncontrollably. Now that Jiang Zihang was crippled, and knowing Jiang Nantian’s temperament, they knew he would never let them off easily.

"I’ll kill you! Kid, you’re finished... I will make sure you die without a grave!" Jiang Zihang shrieked like a vengeful ghost.

"Is that so? Then I’ll kill you first!"
