What is this kid saying It’s completely irrelevant!

The people from the Cao family looked at Xiaoyao in puzzlement, thinking that perhaps he had gone mad and didn’t know what he was talking about.

In fact, these words weren’t meant for them. They were meant for others—those who dared not resist the Cao family. Even if these words wouldn’t make them explode with rage, they might leave behind a seed that could sprout at some point in the future. Of course, it was only perhaps.

And the words Xiaoyao wanted to say to the people from the Cao family soon appeared!

"On the contrary, don’t think too highly of yourselves!"

"Young Master!" The members of the Cao family were about to explode. Xiaoyao’s words wouldn’t make them repent but would only make them feel that their faces had been slapped brutally.

“Kill him!” That young master of the Cao family gritted his teeth, saying those three words through clenched teeth.

"Yes!"

The people from the Cao family began to charge forward eagerly. They wanted to tear Xiaoyao into pieces in order to vent their anger.

At this moment, some people from the small village had already retreated because they knew that provoking the Cao family would have serious consequences. They didn’t want to bear the consequences, which was only human nature. Xiaoyao had long anticipated such a scenario.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyao could also think that there would still be some people from these small villages who would remain, because their thoughts were relatively simple. However, what he hadn’t expected was that so many of them would stay behind—far more than those who had retreated.

When the members of the Cao family charged over, these people formed a square formation to protect Xiaoyao. But the members of the Cao family didn’t care and swung their weapons at these unarmed civilians without saying a word.

This clearly showed that the members of the Cao family had become brazen to an alarming degree because usually, even if they were wastrels or tyrannical, they would first warn those unrelated civilians before taking action against them. But the members of the Cao family didn’t do this; they swung their knives without hesitation and wanted to massacre these civilians who were blocking their way.

What was admirable was that these civilians still hadn’t retreated but stood in front with an expression akin to one facing death bravely, even their brows not wrinkling. Especially the elderly man and his son, they stood at the forefront.

"Even if I saved your lives, you don’t have to repay me like this. Don't you think it’s too much" Xiaoyao's voice echoed in the air.

"Whether it’s too much or not, I don’t know, but what I do know is that I must repay your kindness!" The elderly man and his son said firmly.

A drop of water for a spring of water!

At this moment, they were interpreting the meaning of these words. Some people might betray their benefactors, but there were also people like them who remembered even small favors forever and returned kindness far beyond what was given to them.

At this time, these people from the small village seemed to notice something strange: Xiaoyao’s voice didn’t seem to come from behind them but—

the front!

That's right, it was coming from the front. Xiaoyao hadn't actually been behind those villagers; he didn’t want others to become his human shield and there was no need for that.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

Xiaoyao directly burst into the ranks of the Cao family members, using simple punches and kicks to make them fall all over. This situation instantly made people feel shocked.

Before this happened, no one would have thought that Xiaoyao actually had such high combat strength; they believed that what should happen was—

The villagers were hit back, then Xiaoyao was torn to pieces…

Or the villagers were killed to clear a bloody path, and then Xiaoyao was torn to pieces…

Or all the villagers were cut down, and then Xiaoyao was torn to pieces...

...

In summary, in their thoughts, Xiaoyao couldn’t escape his fate of being torn to pieces. But now the result was that Xiaoyao had beaten the members of the Cao family into a mess, and so easily and gracefully.

Was it normal for him to take down all these people alone

No, this was very normal!!

Xiaoyao’s current strength was at the general rank, while most of these people were at the soldier rank. There were some generals among them, but they were not Xiaoyao's match!

Xiaoyao, although he practices the Divine Farmer Scripture and has no offensive power, doesn't mean that he lacks strength entirely. Furthermore, he understands all kinds of martial arts across the continent, except for some secret techniques or lost ones. Clearly, these people before him don’t possess any such skills, not even the entire Cao family.

Therefore, Xiaoyao can easily defeat them effortlessly!

"Some minor pests really think they're invincible in this world! I don't need Miss's help; I'm more than capable of dealing with you all!" Xiaoyao clapped his hands and said somewhat disdainfully.

Now, his eyes were filled with a hint of contempt...

"You actually are an expert!" The young master of the Cao family was quite surprised; to him, Xiaoyao truly was an expert.

This might make Xiaoyao feel pretty good because he had never been considered one before. Among those prodigies, even being a small attendant felt like it required more strength than he possessed. Fortunately, in other aspects, he was quite monstrous himself.

While the young master of Cao family seemed somewhat surprised, his demeanor remained calm, indicating that he had something to rely on.

"Although you are an expert, there are always stronger ones than you! Among the strong, there are those even more powerful!" The young master of the Cao family lifted his proud head and spoke in a haughty manner.

"I know that. In fact, I’m just bullying you all because it's not me being strong but rather you all being too weak." Xiaoyao nodded as he said this.

...

Xiaoyao’s words left the commoners speechless and made the Cao family feel humiliated once again. They could protest against earlier humiliation, but now seemed impossible to do so since they were indeed too weak. This made them want to find a hole to crawl into.

"Don't be arrogant! You're merely an Initial Rank Warrior!" At this moment, someone from the Cao family approached with a demeanor of a seasoned expert who hadn’t moved since the beginning of the confrontation.

This dignified expert was indeed an expert; he was one of the few Late Rank Warriors dispatched by the Cao Family to protect their young master. He was also among the top experts in the Eastern European Kingdom, and he himself was a Late Rank Warrior.

In the Eastern European Kingdom, even Late Rank Warriors were rare talents. They only had a few Royal Rank Warriors, and such warriors wouldn’t be wasted on protecting the Cao family heir. Even if the Cao Family wanted to squander this resource, it wasn't necessary since there was no need.

Here, a Late Rank Warrior could already run rampant, so why would they send someone of Royal rank

In common sense, it was impossible for an Initial Rank to surpass a Late Rank, even for prodigies. A monstrous existence like Lü Yiran couldn't defeat those one rank above her either; it was hard enough just crossing the gap of one small rank.

Of course, Lü Yiran herself was already a monstrous presence, so that made things difficult. But no matter what, she could only be considered as surpassing by one rank compared to others in her league.

A prodigy Why not just an ordinary person Those who can reach this level would never remain ordinary; they are either prodigies or would stop at a certain point even with effort over time. Once the time is up, so too is their life.

That's right; without talent, putting in enough time might eventually lead to success, but how long exactly It could be several lifetimes. You'd end your life halfway through this journey.

Unless a miracle happens, but what are the odds of such miracles

Hence, Xiaoyao never approved of those who lacked talent yet persisted stubbornly. He believed in walking his path of natural talent instead. A person might lack talent in one area but is bound to have it somewhere else; this was a certainty.

Furthermore, there were many paths in martial arts, and various talents required corresponding paths. For instance, those with dexterity shouldn't tread the path of strength as that would be wasting time. Many people chose wrong paths here, leading them nowhere in life.

This is when a master's guidance was needed, like what Xiaoyao did for Lü Xingxue by choosing the perfect path suited to her talents. That's why she could fly high in martial arts.

Back to reality, Xiaoyao was merely an Initial Rank Warrior, while his opponent was a Late Rank one. Commonly speaking, this implied that Xiaoyao would be defeated.

However, common sense wasn't what Xiaoyao relied on for reasoning; it didn’t suit him at all.

"Come then." Xiaoyao raised his hand to the expert in a gesture that seemed somewhat dismissive of his opponent's prowess.

"Seek death!!!" The expert was enraged. He had been respected here, even by the young master of the Mo family with utmost politeness, yet now he felt belittled and slighted, igniting his wrath.

Previously, he maintained an attitude that such matters were beneath him as an expert. Even when Xiaoyao felled a large number of Cao family members, it didn’t matter to him because he was an expert!

Now, Xiaoyao's demeanor challenged the dignity of his expertise, making it impossible for him not to be enraged.

"Dragon Bursting from Sea!"

The expert unleashed a devastating move upon attacking, aiming for Xiaoyao’s instant death. In his estimation, this move would suffice even against Mid Rank Warriors.

"Dodge!"

Xiaoyao swiftly evaded the attack effortlessly. Recall that back then, he could avoid such attacks without a scratch despite overwhelming odds and even the presence of Royal Rank Warriors; it was only natural now too.

But for others, especially experts, this would be hard to accept or imagine! (To be continued)uttonous devourer Empire dares to be so arrogant, feeling like they've already secured victory!!"Don't celebrate too soon," the official from the Great Tang Empire smiled, "otherwise, happiness turnin...
