Chapter 1636 - 611: Living Disappearing Act (Part 2)
"So what?"
Xing Ru Hai fixed his eyes steadily on Xing Hao.
Xing Hao gritted his teeth:
"Xing Zhan is not like they say, unable to perform martial arts.
"On the contrary, you hold him in high regard, teaching him the Divine Skill, cultivating him as the future Family Head.
"Father, you know I have three sons.
"The second, Xing Tao, was careless in his actions and deserved your punishment.
"The third is a bit clever, but still no match for Xing Zhan.
"Since you favor Xing Zhan, I will restrain my sons from competing with him.
"I only beg you, Father, to spare him and bring Ming’er back to me tomorrow."
"Insolent!!"
Upon hearing Xing Hao’s words, Xing Ru Hai suddenly flew into a rage.
Raising his hand abruptly, he struck out with his palm.
Xing Hao let out a muffled groan, flipping over and falling to the ground, blood seeping from his mouth.
He looked up at Xing Ru Hai:
"Father... are you going to kill your son?"
"You dare..."
Just as he was speaking, Xing Ru Hai’s expression suddenly changed. He clutched his chest, frowning deeply.
Suddenly, he looked sharply at Xing Hao:
"You beast, did you tamper with the tea?"
"Beast?"
Xing Hao took a deep breath, gritting his teeth:
"Father... you’ve said it, I accept it.
"But I can’t bear it alone.
"After all, in this family, I’m not the only one not doing human deeds.
"Tao’er indeed made mistakes.
"But still, his crime does not warrant death, does it!?
"Why did you have to take such a cruel hand against him!?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Ru Hai’s expression changed dramatically:
"Did you break into my underground palace?"
"That’s right!"
Xing Hao climbed up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he stood:
"If not for this, how could I know that the father I’ve called all these years...
"Would make such a large place in the home?
"And how could I discover my poor child’s body in the underground palace...
"His heart was dug out by you!
"Father... why did you do this?
"You wish to select a virtuous and capable Family Head for the Xing Family.
"I can understand that.
"You want these children to compete and distinguish themselves.
"I can also understand...
"Tian’er, Tao’er, Ming’er.
"They all exerted their utmost efforts.
"Even if the methods were inappropriate, weren’t they all coming from your wishes?
"Even if they lack ability, they can still contribute to the Family Head you favor in the future.
"Why did you have to be so ruthless with them?
"Now, where exactly have you hidden Ming’er?
"Speak up! As long as you say it, I’ll leave the Xing Family with them immediately!"
Xing Ru Hai looked at Xing Hao with an unsettled expression.
After a long pause, he shook his head gently:
"Hao’er, you understand nothing.
"You don’t even know what kind of Jianghu we reside in.
"Do you think, after leaving the Xing Family, you’ll be able to establish yourselves well in this Jianghu?
"How naive and laughable...
"As if you think this petty Poison could do anything to me?
"Utterly ridiculous!!
"Originally, you could have sat as Family Head for three more days.
"But now, you’re hastening your own death.
"If that’s the case, then I shall fulfill your wish!!"
As he said this, he suddenly reached out his hand.
Xing Hao’s face changed, just about to reach for the knife at his waist, when he heard a clang, the Blade Light unsheathed, heading straight for Xing Ru Hai.
Under one move, Xing Hao didn’t grasp the hilt of the knife, grasping instead the blade.
Thinking he could halt the knife’s momentum.
But unexpectedly, in the flash of light, four fingers fell to the ground.
With a single knife in hand, Xing Ru Hai’s Blade Light rose with the momentum, a strong wind swept up, bringing the Blade Light right before Xing Hao’s throat.
Xing Hao’s eyes widened, unable to believe it.
His own father would strike against him without hesitation.
The viciousness of this blade, was it a father striking his son?
Saying there was deep enmity between them would not be an exaggeration!
Just as he closed his eyes to await death, he heard a thunderous explosion.
The Blade Light suddenly shattered.
Holding the single knife, Xing Ru Hai stood before the prayer mat, lifting his eyes to see, another person had appeared in the scene.
It was Xing Zhan, who had returned after leaving.
Shielding Xing Hao behind him, he looked up at Xing Ru Hai:
"Grandfather, please show mercy."
"Grandson... what are you doing now?"
Xing Ru Hai looked at Xing Zhan in astonishment.
Even Xing Hao was bewildered:
"Xing Zhan?"
Xing Zhan furrowed his brows tightly:
"When I left just now, I found something seemed amiss around, so I returned to investigate.
"I didn’t expect grandfather would strike so cruelly against Uncle.
"I beg you, grandfather, to consider the hardships Uncle has endured for the Xing Family over the years, even if he has no achievements, he has made sacrifices, please spare him."
Xing Hao shouted angrily:
"Xing Zhan, what do you mean by this?
"Why should I accept your false kindness?"
"..."
Xing Zhan slightly furrowed his brows, shaking his head subtly, looking at Xing Ru Hai:
"Grandfather, please reconsider."
"Sigh..."
Xing Ru Hai let out a long sigh:
"Both of you, why are you so stubborn?
"Forget it, forget it, might as well kill you both, anyway, such massacre cases in Jianghu aren’t limited to Xing Family alone..."
With this remark, both Xing Hao and Xing Zhan’s expressions changed.
Even Yu Lingxin on the roof appeared bewildered:
