567 Subdued.
After Yue Lei Wang stood up and asked the elders to take action Yue Jiren burst up with his complete strength. The aura he radiated was at the peak of an ascended mortal. Matching the elders and even the patriarch of the family. He sighed and said, “Why won’t you old ones just give me what I want? Why must you all push me so hard? Do you not fear death?” His voice was high in the last question.
As he spoke, some of his loyal followers jumped out of the crowd and came to stand up behind him facing the elders. Yue Lei Wang sneered and said, “I did not expect it to be a coup against me.”
While the elders frowned, Yang Dao smiled with his head tilted to the side, and he said to Yue Jing, “You go and sit with grandma, look after Athena.”
Yue Jing gazed at him with concern and the boy said, “Go, Go. I am fine here.”
As the young girl moved to leave the training field. Yue Jiren spotted her and said, “Do you want to leave so easily after humiliating me, you witch. Die, you useless piece of flesh.” and he punched Yue Jing.
The attack was so strong that an apparition of the fist appeared in the void as it moved toward Yue Jing. The elders were all surprised, this attack could kill the girl but even as her father this person had no intention to hold back. They were at a farther distance and could not save the girl. Jenny stood up and shouted, “NOO.”
She did not wish to see this girl die, and all the other family members had a similar expressions like her. Just when they all gave up hope. A wall of earth suddenly appeared in front of Yue Jing. The wall took the burn from the attack, while a shadow took Yue Jing out of harm’s way. When the wall crumbled, and the attack was diffused, the people saw Yang Dao holding Yue Jing’s hand as the two people stood next to Jenny.
Yue Jiren glared at Yang Dao as he said, “Bastard, you son of a whore, how dare you meddle in my business, you lowly swine.” his tone expressed the hatred inside his heart completely.
However, suddenly, a strong aura radiated from Yang Dao’s body. he had one taboo, and that was to never listen to anyone insult his parents, and given the words Yue Jiren used just now, this insult was aimed at his entire family.
Athena and Yue Jing took a step back. Jenny watched them and wanted to ask a few things when she sensed Yue Yun pull her back. As soon as they all were five steps away from Yang Dao, the aura radiating from him exploded. The aura was so strong, that Yue Lie Wang was shaken, let alone anyone else.
Everyone looked at Yang Dao as if he was a monster. Yue Ming who stood behind his father shivered as he said, “Monster.”
As the people watched Yang Dao, a shining sword appeared in his hand, and a couple of spirit energy wings formed on his back. The wings fluttered and Yang Dao appeared behind Yue Ming. he held the latter from his throat and vanished from his spot.
Yue Jiren and the rest could not even react. When they came to their sense it was already over. Yue Jiren searched around and heard a calm monolithic voice in his ears, “Are you looking for your son?”
Yue Jiren raised his head and found Yang Dao floating in the void, with his azure wings bathing him in the radiant glow, and the waxing crescent moon at his side was adding a gleam to the scene. Jenny was surprised by this, she wanted to ask her grandson to not meddle with the elders, but Yue Yun said, “he is invincible when he is like this. At this moment, no one among us can bother him. Just trust in him.”
Yue Jiren was shocked to see his son flailing like a hapless chicken while being held by Yang Dao. He said, “Boy, you better put down my son, if you dared to harm even a hair on his skin, I will make you and your whole family regret this move of yours.”
Yang Dao was unbothered and said, “Big sister, is it okay if I kill him?”
Yue Jing was surprised but after thinking about it, she did not feel any sadness in her heart. She said, “Keep them alive.”
Yang Dao cast her a gaze and after thinking he nodded. He turned his face to Yue Jiren, who made a sneak attack. He thought what could this boy do, he used a quick one on them just now but that was it. He might not be able to keep up with the speed he just showed. Yue Jiren moved from his position and appeared in front of Yang Dao with his hands stretched towards the boy.
Well, welcome to the cruel life lessons. Yang Dao calmly flicked his sword, when the blade returned to his side, Yue Jiren was still sneering and trying to grab his son from the former’s grasp. But in just a blink, the sneer turned stiff and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. Yue Jiren tried to retract his hand but the limb seemed to have frozen.
Before he could understand what happened to his hand, the limb slowly fell from the sky to the ground. The surrounding people were all shocked, their shock broke when Yue Jiren screamed.
AHHHH
His wail was so terrifying that some weak-hearted people fainted from the imagination of the pain he was suffering. His spirit energy was running rampant. Yang Dao raised his blade again and made a few gentle stabs at Yue Jiren’s body. He corrected the spirit energy overflow on his body and watched as the screaming man fell to the ground with a loud thump.
Dust rose from the ground but it was instantly dispersed as Yang Dao landed on the ground. Yue Ming was still held in his grip but he had given up any struggle or thoughts of protesting. Even his almighty father was squirming on the ground as a worm sprinkled with salt.
Yang Dao walked up to Yue Jiren and said, “I cut off your right arm, you failed to pat the heart of your daughter when she was in distress but tried to kill her when she became your pride. You do not need that hand. I sealed off your spirit energy, you can try and ask someone else to undo the seal but the spiritual energy I transferred inside you will explode. You will become a mortal. So, I suggest that you live a long life in silence, thinking of how things could not have come to this stage.
Now, I ask you to kneel and apologize to my parents for the abusive words you used. The reason you are alive is that your daughter asked me to. If you did not apologize within three breaths, I will be chopping off your son’s limbs, one by one. You will watch the scene as I do it. Then you will feel the pain of a parent. The choice is yours.”
He pushed Yue Ming slightly and released his neck, only to take hold of his arm. Then he moved his sword backward, and a ray of sword spirit attack cast a groove in the ground. He said, “If any of you dogs tried to bite, then I will make your master bark.”
The domineering tyrant side of his nature had left everyone rethinking their view about this child. Yue Ming said, “Father, apologize, he is capable of doing what he said. He can take down a saint-level daemon. Father, he is not lying, the prime disciple of the Titan Sect almost died at his hands. Please, I do not want to be crippled.”
His words and tone shook Yue Jiren’s heart to the core. They did not expect this kid to have so much power. To think that he even had a fight with the prime disciple of the Titan sect, and yet be able to survive to tell the tale.
Yue Jiren was extremely unwilling, but looking at his son’s desperate expression, the man had no other choice but to get down on his knees. He winced in pain while holding his right shoulder he said, “I apologize for the abusive display earlier.”
His tone was an epitome of how the voice of helplessness sounded, but it was enough. Yang Dao let go of Yue Ming and said, “If I found that you tried to undermine my sister, I will have your head under my feet regardless of what she said, if you have the skills, a character worthy enough, you can challenge her fairly for the position and I will support you. Be a better man Yue Ming so that you do not end up like this.”
Yue Ming nodded and understood that it was time for him to correct his ways. With this, Yue Jiren was subdued without any elder taking any action.
