31: Chapter 31 Earth-Splitting Lizard! Go and remove his legs!

Jiang Yun slowly turned around.

He looked toward the sound.

His gaze fell upon the person who had arrived.

He saw Xiao Ling leaning on a broken wooden crutch, standing limpingly not far away, his left leg wrapped in bandages.

Clearly, the injury from being whipped away by the Icefield Snake's tail yesterday was not shallow.

His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Jiang Yun, looking as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

"I also didn't expect that you would still be able to stand alive before me."

Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

He still vividly remembered Xiao Ling's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering look when he was whipped away by the Icefield Snake yesterday.

"Don't you get cocky!"

Xiao Ling's crutch poked the ground with a "thud thud" sound, his voice trembling with anger: "If you hadn't lured the Icefield Snake over, how would I have been attacked? My misery is all because of you!"

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun took two steps forward, his gaze falling on Xiao Ling's injured leg: "I recall it was you who brought people to block me halfway yesterday. The Icefield Snake's target was always me. If you hadn't meddled by trying to block me, how would you have been attacked by it?"

He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold.

"It's because of your own narrow-mindedness; you couldn't handle losing and wanted revenge, only to be targeted by a Vicious Beast. You brought this upon yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

Xiao Ling's face flushed red from the rebuttal. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a long time... What Jiang Yun said was the truth, but how could he be reconciled?

He was the Second Young Master of the Xiao Family. When had he ever suffered such a grievance?

Right then.

A contemptuous voice came from behind Xiao Ling.

"You are Jiang Yun? Truly a silver-tongued mouth. No wonder you dare oppose our Xiao Family."

The crowd automatically parted to make a path.

A young man wearing black clothes walked out.

Behind him followed a contracted beast shaped like a lizard, its body two to three meters large.

The youth was half a head taller than Xiao Ling, with broad shoulders and silver bracers wrapped around his arms. The bracers were engraved with an "Intermediate Class" badge.

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

He did not recognize this person.

Instead, the surrounding students watching let out exclamations.

"Xiao Hong! It's actually him! He's Xiao Ling's cousin! Moreover, he's a Core Student of the Intermediate Class. I heard his Earth-Splitting Lizard just had a Breakthrough to Black Iron Sixth Tier not long ago!"

Someone in the crowd whispered, their tone full of wariness.

"Jiang Yun is finished now. Xiao Hong is much more difficult to deal with than Xiao Ling. Last time a student accidentally bumped into him, and his arm was directly broken by that Earth-Splitting Lizard."

"To think that Jiang Yun offending Xiao Ling would bring him here. Jiang Yun is likely in grave danger this time!"

The discussions pricked Jiang Yunyun's ears like needles.

She immediately became worried, tightly clutching Jiang Yun's sleeve and whispering: "Brother, how about we leave quickly..."

Jiang Yun patted her hand to signal her not to be afraid, his gaze falling back on Xiao Hong.

Jiang Yun understood that since Xiao Ling had suffered a loss at his hands, the elder had come after the younger was beaten.

"That's right, I am Jiang Yun. Is there something you need?"

Jiang Yun's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

Facing Xiao Hong, he showed no fear whatsoever.

"Something I need?"

Xiao Hong sneered and took a step forward, looking down at Jiang Yun: "I heard you took five hundred Spirit Stones from my cousin last time, and yesterday his leg was injured because of you. You tell me if there's something or not?"

"Xiao Ling is lying!"

Right then.

Li Na suddenly stood out.

She knew Xiao Hong was here to find trouble, and she had to stand up to speak for Jiang Yun.

However, her face was flushed red as she spoke.

Clearly, she had summoned all her courage to shout it out.

After all, speaking for Jiang Yun meant offending Xiao Hong.

Nevertheless, Li Na continued: "That day at school, Xiao Ling took the initiative to bet with Jiang Yun. He lost five hundred Spirit Stones and refused to accept it. Yesterday he also intentionally blocked Jiang Yun. The Icefield Snake attacking him has nothing to do with Jiang Yun! Everyone in our Rookie Class can testify to this."

Zhang Qiang also nodded along, saying urgently: "Right! We all saw it. It was Xiao Ling who looked for trouble first!"

The two of them stood up at the moment of crisis.

Seeing this scene.

Jiang Yun sighed inwardly.

He had not misjudged the character of these two.

As soon as the two finished speaking.

The surrounding Rookie Class students lowered their heads one after another, none daring to agree.

Everyone knew the Xiao Family's power in C City.

That was a major Family.

Offending Xiao Hong and Xiao Ling meant they could forget about having good days in the academy in the future.

Xiao Hong glanced at Li Na and Zhang Qiang, the contempt in his eyes growing thicker: "Who are you two? Do you even deserve to speak to me?"

He turned his head back to Jiang Yun, his tone overbearingly unquestionable: "I don't care about any bets, nor do I care who looked for trouble first. In short, a member of my Xiao Family was injured, so you must give an explanation."

"What kind of explanation do you want?"

Jiang Yun laughed instead of getting angry.

After all, the other party was clearly here to stand up for Xiao Ling.

Even if they weren't in the right, they would still make things difficult for Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was very clear on this point.

"It's very simple. I won't make it hard for you."

Xiao Hong pointed at Xiao Ling's injured leg.

Then he pointed at Jiang Yun's leg: "My cousin lost the use of one leg, so you will remove one of your legs. Then the matter will be settled."

As soon as these words came out, the entire area instantly fell silent.

No one expected Xiao Hong to be so ruthless, directly wanting to cripple Jiang Yun!

Jiang Yunyun's face turned white with fear, and she tightly hugged Jiang Yun's arm: "Brother! You can't listen to him! Let's leave quickly!"

Li Na and Zhang Qiang also became anxious.

They wanted to step forward to argue, but were glared at fiercely by Xiao Hong's contracted beast. That Black Iron Sixth Tier pressure caused the two to instantly freeze in place, not even daring to move.

Xiao Hong saw that Jiang Yun made no movement and a smug smile curled on his lips: "What? You don't dare?"

He took a step forward, and his contracted beast followed, closing in.

Its greenish-black claws scratched deep marks into the ground.

"If you don't dare, then kneel down and give my cousin three loud kowtows, then hand over your contracted beast. I can spare you once."

He had long heard that Jiang Yun was a waste without Beastmaster Talent, but possessed a Fire Dragon Fish with decent Aptitude, which was why he was exceptionally admitted to the Core Student class.

Therefore, the idea of seizing the beast had arisen in his heart.

In his view, Jiang Yun was just a rookie with no background. Even if he crippled him and stole his beast, no one would dare say much.

After all, he was a member of the Xiao Family.

Furthermore, he was an Intermediate Class Core Student with C-grade Talent.

How could a penniless waste who had no talent and only relied on luck compare to him?

Hearing this.

Jiang Yun's eyes turned completely cold.

He originally didn't want to make things too tense with a major Family like the Xiao Family, but now it seemed these people were taking a mile after being given an inch. If he didn't show them some color, they would really think he was a soft persimmon to be squeezed!

Jiang Yun slowly let go of Jiang Yunyun's hand, took a step forward, and met Xiao Hong's gaze: "And if I refuse?"

"Oh? Still want to resist?"

Xiao Hong acted as if he had heard a great joke: "You were able to easily defeat my cousin's Magic Claw Wolf, so your beast must already have the strength of the second or even third tier! But with just that Black Iron Third Tier Fire Dragon Fish of yours? You want to resist me?"

"My Earth-Splitting Lizard is at the Black Iron Sixth Tier!"

"I'll just speak plainly! Whether you remove your leg today or not is not up to you!"

After Xiao Hong finished speaking.

He immediately issued an order to the Earth-Splitting Lizard behind him.

"Earth-Splitting Lizard! Go! Take his leg!"
