Chapter 252 Apologize, or Die
"I want to see who dares to touch him today!"
The icy voice came from Xiao Yi.
Ye Heng had already reached the side of the blind swordsman, propping up the swordsman, who lay on the ground with a lifeless face, and straightening his body. After a brief check, Ye Heng's expression changed slightly, "Master, the blind swordsman's dantian has been destroyed..."
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi's pupils contracted slightly.
He never expected Dongfang Bai and his people to be so ruthless.
Not satisfied with merely severing the tendons of his hands and feet, they had now even destroyed his dantian.
Xiao Yi looked expressionlessly at Dongfang Bai, "Who did it?"
Dongfang Bai glanced at him indifferently then looked away. In his view, Xiao Yi was just at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and within the Dongfang Family, there were even strong individuals in the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Why would he take Xiao Yi seriously?
Even facing Yang Ling, the prince, Dongfang Bai just gave a perfunctory hand clasp and said with a proud expression, "Prince Yang Ling!"
Yang Ling frowned. The power of the four great clan families was extremely terrifying, and they generally stood together against outsiders, often disrespecting the royal family. Naturally, he didn't show a good face either and said lightly, "Dongfang Bai, did you not hear Pavilion Master Xiao ask you a question?"
"Pavilion Master Xiao?"
Dongfang Bai was slightly startled and looked Xiao Yi up and down with narrowed eyes, chuckling scornfully, "Oh ho, so you're the new head of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi? You look quite the part, so why were you kicked out of the Xiao Family by Xiao Tianjiao? Oh, my apologies, I forgot Xiao Tianjiao doesn't recognize you as part of the Xiao Family. So, that means you..."
Slap!
The words were cut off by the crisp sound of a slap.
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They all turned to look at Xiao Yi's indifferent face. This was the Dongfang Family's young master he had just slapped in public.
Dongfang Bai's eyes were crimson, exhaling a chilling light that seemed ready to devour someone, and he stared dead at Xiao Yi, "You little bastard, you dare to hit..."
Slap!
Another slap.
Xiao Yi still stood there with his hands behind his back, as serene as a gentle breeze and soft clouds.
"Holy shit..."
Slap!
"You..."
Slap!
No one could see how Xiao Yi made his move, but everyone knew these slaps had to be his doing.
Looking at Dongfang Bai again...
His cheeks were swollen like a pig's head, blood streaming from the corners of his mouth, leaving him unable to speak. In his bloodshot eyes, there was resentment and rage, and more noticeably, a shade of fear.
"Young master, are you alright?" asked several strong men of the Dongfang Family tentatively.

Dongfang Bai kicked them to the ground viciously, roaring in anger, "Do I look alright to you? Don't just stand there, kill him! Whichever hand he used to hit me, I want you to chop it off and feed it to the dogs..."
Five Golden Elixir Realm strong men immediately stepped forward, eyeing Xiao Yi with predatory gaze.
"Pavilion Master Xiao, you can't just hit our young master and expect things to end like this. I advise you to surrender without a struggle and not to resist," one of them said.
"The Dongfang Family is not afraid of your little Xiaoshanhe Institute..."
The five of them surrounded Xiao Yi.
Yang Ling frowned and looked at Dongfang Bai with concern, "Dongfang Bai, I advise you to pull your men back!"
"Prince Yang Ling, this matter doesn't concern you," said Dongfang Bai venomously. "I know this kid is your recommendation for head of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, but since he dared to hit me, he's slapped the Dongfang Family in the face, and no one can help him!"
Yang Ling sighed, "I'm trying to help you!"
Dongfang Bai sneered, "Help me? Does Dongfang Bai look like he needs your help?" His face twisted hideously as he stared at his men, "Kill him for me!"
"Kill!"
"First cripple his cultivation..."
Five men advanced at the same time.
Among them, two were at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak, and the other three were also experts of the Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.
Dongfang Bai was the most cherished grandson of Dongfang, the head of the Dongfang Family.
Even his bodyguards were at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak.
Five men teaming up could even put up a fight against a warrior of the First Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.
Faced with the onslaught of five assailants, Xiao Yi merely waved his hand casually. Cold light fluttered at his fingertips, exploding out like dazzling light rainbows. Amidst muffled sounds, the five figures trembled violently, blood spraying wildly as they fell to the ground.
On their brows and fingertips were points of red.
A one-strike kill!
Hiss!
Complete silence surrounded the area.
With an expressionless face, Xiao Yi approached Dongfang Bai. "You just said you wanted to break my hands, right?"
"You, you, you... don't come any closer..."
Dongfang Bai's face turned deathly pale. He had never imagined that Xiao Yi would be so terrifyingly powerful, instantly slaying his five major bodyguards in a blink.
Feeling the cold Evil Qi emanating from Xiao Yi.
Dongfang Bai felt his legs go weak, stumbling back tremulously: "I am the eldest young master of the Dongfang Family. If you dare to hurt me, you will make an enemy out of the Dongfang Family. You... ah..."
A sudden scream burst forth from Dongfang Bai's mouth.
Blood arrows shot from his hands and feet, and among the torn flesh, one could vaguely see severed tendons twitching slightly.
Dongfang Bai slumped to the ground like a pile of mud.
Xiao Yi acted quickly and decisively.
By cutting the tendons in his hands and feet, and shattering them completely, he left Dongfang Bai crippled for life unless a magical elixir was used to reattach his limbs. Lying on the ground, wailing, Dongfang Bai looked at Xiao Yi with a face full of terror, not daring to threaten wildly as before, but instead pathetically begged for mercy. "Spare me, Director Xiao, spare my life. I won't dare to do it again..."
In the face of life and death, even those who hold high positions and have powerful backing will still become humble.
Xiao Yi walked up to Dongfang Bai, slightly bent over, grabbed his hair, and pointing to the deathly still blind swordsman said, "You as well as he, both are born of mothers and fathers, have only one life, and are not necessarily more noble than the other. If you don't want to die, apologize to him immediately by kowtowing!"
"I, I should kowtow to him?"
Dongfang Bai looked astonished; the blind swordsman was just a fighting dog he owned, no more than a dog in his eyes!
Xiao Yi actually wanted him to apologize to the blind swordsman by kowtowing?
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "Apologize, or die. Choose for yourself!"
"..."
Under the threat of death, Dongfang Bai's head thudded to the ground with tears of humiliation on his face as he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry..."
Those three words seemed to drain all his strength.
He collapsed to the ground in defeat.
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes; he believed in utterly rooting out problems. Crippling Dongfang Bai would surely not be forgotten by the Dongfang Family, so it might be better to finish him off once and for all.
However...
Yang Ling, who was standing by, said in a low voice, "Do me a favor and spare him this time!"
After all, he was a prince, and if he could become the Crown Prince and succeed the Great Qian Dynasty, it wouldn't be good to fall out with the Dongfang Family completely.
Xiao Yi nodded, "Fine!"
Discarding Dongfang Bai aside as if tossing away trash, Xiao Yi walked toward the blind swordsman and, with Ye Heng on one side and another on the other, helped the blind swordsman walk outside.
"Dongfang Bai, I hope this ends here!"
Yang Ling looked toward Xue Wuhen, who had been silent all along, "Please, Pavilion Master Xue, take him back to the Dongfang Family."
"Leave it to me!" Xue Wuhen nodded.
Yang Ling chased after Xiao Yi, who was already heading outside...
