50: Confrontation with Sun Hu, Shuwan Fu appears

Sun Xiang?

What on earth did that brat do to make such a person personally come looking for him!

Sun Hu understood his son's character; he was a lawless, arrogant, and overbearing fop.

Even so, he knew his limits and wouldn't provoke powerful experts he couldn't afford to offend.

So how could he have provoked the other party?

With a puzzled look, he continued, "My son is ill-mannered and has offended you. I apologize on his behalf. Also, if I may be so bold, I'd like to ask what foolish thing he did. Would Young Master be so kind as to inform me?"

Lin Yuan stated frankly, "He killed my beloved's parents. How do you think I should deal with him?"

Beloved!?

All four were shocked!

Such a young talent actually had a beloved in Luoxiao City?

And Sun Xiang just happened to kill them?

This was too much of a coincidence!

While still stunned, Sun Hu quickly replied, "No matter his reason, it's no excuse for wanton murder. Moreover, he killed your parents-in-law, Young Master. This act certainly deserves punishment; death is not too severe a penalty!"

Lin Yuan smiled sinisterly, "You're right. I'm making him pay with his life to atone for the deaths of the two elders."

"What!?"

All four were dumbfounded!

Sun Xiang was killed?

That was the Sun Family's Third Young Master, one of Sun Hu's few legitimate sons, and he just died like that?

This was simply too presumptuous.

Before killing someone, shouldn't he at least consider the other party's identity?

Seeing their surprised expressions, Lin Yuan's face turned cold, "What? Do you think he shouldn't have died?"

The three from the Deng Family were the first to react, quickly chiming in.

"He deserved it! Of course he deserved it! That beast Sun Xiang oppressed men and women, harming the common people; he should have been tortured a thousand times over long ago!"

"Young Master Lin killing that scoundrel truly eliminated a scourge for our Luoxiao City and did a great deed!"

"A life for a life, a debt for a debt. Since Sun Xiang dared to kill innocent people, he naturally should be prepared to pay with his life!"

Hearing their remarks, Sun Hu's face darkened to the extreme.

Although he said that Sun Xiang should atone with his death, as a father, how could he bear to see his child die?

His previous words were merely polite pleasantries to humor the other party.

Seeing his grim expression, Lin Yuan immediately questioned coldly, "Patriarch Sun, it seems you have a lot of objections to my actions, don't you?"

Sun Hu was furious inside, but he was wary of the Young Master's identity and dared not show it. He could only bow his head and say, "No, no, my son's death was his just deserts. Young Master, you helped us clean house; I should thank you."

Upon hearing this, the three from the Deng Family couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

To have his son die and still have to thank the killer, this was truly unprecedented.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept lightly over the other party, and he said slowly, "As the saying goes, a life for a life. Two people died on my side, but only one person died in your Sun Family. I want the Patriarch to pay for the other life. Do you think that's acceptable?"

"You!"

Sun Hu was enraged! Killing his son wasn't enough; he even wanted to kill him too! This was utterly outrageous!

Despite his anger, he tried his best to suppress it, forcing words through gritted teeth: "Please don't joke, Young Master. Even if my son was at fault first, he has already paid the price for his actions. How can you impose grievances on an unrelated person?"

Lin Yuan chuckled, "Unrelated? The reason Sun Xiang turned out this way is because your Sun Family indulged him so much, acting as his accomplice. And you, as his father, are the one who most needed to discipline your child. How can you have the face to say 'unrelated'?"

Sun Hu trembled with rage at these words, gritting his teeth and retorting, "Yes! I have problems! But Young Master, you should understand that my Sun Family has always been quite influential in Luoxiao City. What's wrong with our Disciples being a bit arrogant? To put it bluntly, if the person Sun Xiang killed wasn't your parents-in-law, but someone else's parents, would you still come to me for an accounting, and even want my life?"

Lin Yuan's eyes widened, and he pointed at the other party, "Nonsense! A prominent family background is no excuse for arrogance! Moreover, your Sun Family is not even a true noble clan. Repeatedly committing evil deeds will eventually come at a cost! Even if I hadn't appeared, righteous individuals would still arrive later, uprooting you and completely ending the Sun Family's wickedness!"

Sun Hu suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Good, you're strong, you can say whatever you want. But before you criticize the Sun Family, please consider whether your own actions are just."

Lin Yuan said coldly, "Revenge for grudges, retribution for wrongs. My actions are without shame in my heart, so why should I care if they are just?"

At this point, Sun Hu knew he couldn't escape today, so he channeled all his Origin Qi, saying, "Well said! Since you harbor hatred for my son, then direct it all at me! This Patriarch also wants to see today just how profound your strength is, Young Master, and whether it matches your previous arrogant attitude!"

"Boom!"

The pure Origin Qi of the Condensing Core Realm third level swirled around his body, and the powerful fluctuations caused the nearby tables, chairs, and benches to creak and shake.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan transmitted, "Sister Shuang, I'm relying on you again this time."

"Okay."

With Ao Ling霜's assistance, his aura began to surge wildly, instantly advancing from Meridian Opening to Condensing Core.

"A secret art to enhance cultivation!"

Sun Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression growing even more solemn.

It was actually a secret art that could raise one's Realm by a major stage; the other party's background must be truly astonishing!

Even so, he was already committed and had no choice but to strike first, hoping to gain the upper hand.

"Earth Fiend Fist!"

He focused his Origin Qi in his hand and forcefully threw a punch.

Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he also clenched his fist and met the attack.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided, and just like the old man from the Sun Family before, Sun Hu's body didn't stop at all, flying directly backward and slamming heavily into the solid wall.

"Pfft!"

His body slid down the wall, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire aura extremely weak.

The three onlookers were all shocked!

One punch!

Lin Yuan actually defeated Sun Hu with just one punch!

This was too Heaven-Defying!

In his astonishment, Sun Hu took out a Talisman from his embrace, injecting Origin Qi into it, attempting to activate it.

Lin Yuan immediately activated his footwork, appearing before him and striking with a sword. With a "clink," Sun Hu's entire palm was severed, and the Talisman, which had been faintly glowing, now dimmed.

"You!"

Sun Hu's eyes widened in fury. Knowing that he had no chance of escape after losing the Talisman, he directly detonated his Qi Core, and his aura began to expand wildly!

Sensing the other party's intention, Lin Yuan immediately threw a Talisman, striking it on the other party's forehead, and simultaneously activated it with Origin Qi.

Under the effect of the Talisman, the restless Qi Core instantly stabilized, and the surging aura gradually calmed down.
