Chapter 119: Bully the Son, Face the Father Jia Lie Ao's End
That furious voice wasn't from just anyone
It was Jia Lie Bi, the patriarch of the Jia Lie Clan and the father of Jia Lie Ao.
At this moment, Jia Lie Bi was striding over, accompanied by a large group of people.
However…
His expression didn't look particularly anxious
It was as if the person being humiliated wasn't even his son.
Behind him followed a dozen elders and soul masters of the Jia Lie Clan.
On either side of him, two elders stood.
Both were Da Dou Shi (Great Dou Fighters)
Though they were only at the three star level, their strength still placed them among the top experts of Wu Tan City.
"Father?!"
Jia Lie Ao's eyes lit up as if he had just heard the voice of heaven.
At that moment
His legs, which had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly regained their strength.
Boom!
Like a spring loaded mechanism, he bounced back to his feet.
His swollen face, which he had just been slapping moments ago, contorted once again
Not in pain, but in arrogance.
He rubbed his bruised cheeks, wincing slightly, before
Pointing straight at Wu Tian with a furious glare:
"You damn pretty boy! How dare you lay a hand on me?! So what if you're a Great Dou Fighter?!"
"Haven't you heard the saying 'A mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake'?"
"You may be strong, but my father and uncles are also Great Dou Fighters!"
"Now that my father is here, you're finished!"
Wu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly
Before curling his lips into a playful smirk.
He raised his hand slightly, ready to finish off Jia Lie Ao
But then he paused.
"Hmm… Looks like I won't even have to do it myself."
"SLAP!"
A loud, crisp slap echoed across the marketplace.
Jia Lie Ao's entire body spun through the air.
He soared backward several meters before rolling across the ground like a ragdoll.
When he finally stopped,
His face was now even more swollen
His vision blurred as he looked up, barely able to make out the figure of the person who had just hit him.
And that person was
His own father, Jia Lie Bi.
Jia Lie Ao's eyes welled up with tears.
His father had never laid a hand on him before.
But today
He finally felt the "love" of his father's discipline.
And it hurt like hell.
What the hell? I thought my father came to save me?!
Why does it feel like he's siding with the enemy instead?!
Wu Tian watched the pitiful sight unfold before him and smirked.
He had already guessed Jia Lie Bi's game plan.
"Oh? The classic 'good cop, bad cop' routine?"
"A 'self sacrificing father' punishing his own son just to win my favor?"
"How predictable."
"And yet… this idiot Jia Lie Ao doesn't even realize he should've just played dead."
Wu Tian shook his head.
This Jia Lie Ao…
He was the worst kind of extra
A background character trying too hard to give himself screen time.
A true third rate lackey.
Jia Lie Bi put on his best acting face,
turning to Wu Tian with a humble smile:
"Wu Shaoye, it was my failure as a father that led to this disgraceful scene."
"My foolish son, drunk on wine, spoke out of turn and offended you. He deserves to die a thousand times over."
"But I beg you "
"SNAP!"
Wu Tian snapped his fingers.
Jia Lie Bi paused mid sentence, confused.
But before he could react
"AAAAHHHHHHH!!! FATHER, HELP ME!!"
A scream of utter agony erupted from behind him.
Jia Lie Bi spun around in shock.
His eyes widened in horror as he saw
His son, Jia Lie Ao, was engulfed in roaring cyan flames.
The boy thrashed wildly on the ground, rolling back and forth in a desperate attempt to put out the fire.
At that moment
Jia Lie Bi's entire act shattered.
All pretense of calmness disappeared as he sprinted toward his son, panic stricken.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!"
"FIND SOME WATER, DAMN IT!!"
"AO'ER! HOLD ON! FATHER IS COMING!"
"DON'T DIE ON ME, MY SON!"
However
Just as he reached his son,
The cyan flames flared up violently
And in a blink, Jia Lie Ao's screams abruptly ceased.
His body vanished.
There was nothing left
Not even ashes.
All that remained was a lingering wisp of cyan fire
Which suddenly surged toward Jia Lie Bi!
Jia Lie Bi's pupils contracted in terror.
WHAT?!
The flames can still attack?!
His instincts kicked in instantly.
A barrier of dou qi enveloped him in the form of armor.
But
CRACK!
In an instant, the cyan flames shattered his defense like glass.
Though the fire dispersed,
Jia Lie Bi was left trembling his face pale and drenched in cold sweat.
He had felt it just now
If not for his dou qi armor,
He would have died just like his son.
Jia Lie Bi's expression turned ice cold as he turned back toward Wu Tian.
All traces of submissiveness had vanished.
His killing intent surged as a deep blue spear materialized in his hands, crackling with violent dou qi.
He aimed its sharp tip directly at Wu Tian and roared:
"WU GAN!!!"
"You dare kill my son?!"
"From this day forth, the Jia Lie Clan and you are sworn enemies!"
Wu Tian merely smiled faintly.
Oh? Now he wants to act tough?
What a joke.
Jia Lie Bi clearly knew that he wasn't Wu Tian's match
Yet instead of challenging him alone,
He dragged his entire clan into the fight to share the burden.
What a pathetic excuse for a leader.
Meanwhile…
The two Jia Lie elders standing behind him…
Their expressions twitched uncontrollably.
Wait, wait, wait
Did he just volunteer the entire Jia Lie Clan for destruction?!
What the hell, Patriarch?!
We support you… but not THAT much!
