5: Trampling the protagonist and ruthlessly humiliating him

As Jiang Liu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall immediately grew cold, so much so that ice shards could almost condense.

At this moment, Jiang Lin slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

"Brother Xiao Dong, why don't you take a look at the termination agreement? You can suggest whatever compensation you feel is necessary!"

"The resources of the Great World are far richer than the Small World you're staying in!"

Every word from Jiang Lin was arrogant.

He was deliberately trying to provoke this arrogant Xiao Dong.

This was also the purpose of deliberately spreading the news and making him a laughingstock.

How could the protagonist so easily accept such a blatant humiliation?

He would definitely retaliate! He would definitely retaliate!

"Wanmeng, show the termination agreement to Brother Xiao Dong!"

At this moment, Zhang Wanmeng glanced at the crimson-faced Xiao Dong, feeling a slight twinge of reluctance in her heart.

But thinking of the favorability, she gritted her teeth and handed over the termination letter.

At the same time, she spoke, expressing her thoughts.

"Uncle Xiao, I was unaware of the marriage contract back then. Now, due to my own reasons, I am terminating the engagement. No matter what conditions you propose, I will do my best to compensate the Xiao Family!"

Xiao Dong, standing beside her, was beet red, his anger uncontainable.

In his eyes, Jiang Lin and Zhang Wanmeng were a pair of scoundrels, already colluding.

How could he, a dignified man, endure such humiliation?

He took a quick step forward, directly snatched the termination agreement, and tore it to shreds.

"Hmph, Zhang Family, I do not accept this termination agreement!"

Watching the tiny toxins dissipating into the air and the shredded pieces of paper, Zhang Wanmeng was stunned, her Face full of disbelief.

This shouldn't be happening!

In these years, after Xiao Zhan's death, her Zhang Family had always protected the Xiao Family, which allowed them to survive.

Otherwise, Xiao Zhan's enemies would have long ago annihilated the Xiao Family!

Hadn't the Xiao Family always tacitly agreed that the marriage contract was null and void?

What shocked her even more was that...

Jiang Lin had calculated it!

He had calculated that Xiao Dong would not open the letter normally!

But would violently tear it apart like this!

This was the only way to get poisoned!

How was this possible?

How could that fop have calculated that?

"It's not your Zhang Family breaking off the engagement, but I, Xiao Dong, divorcing my wife!"

"From today onwards, I, Xiao Dong, sever all ties with the Zhang Family and will never associate with them again!"

Xiao Dong straightened his body, a domineering Aura permeating the entire hall.

Zhang Wanmeng's brows furrowed, a sense of humiliation welling up within her.

Why?

My Zhang Family has treated your Xiao Family well. Before coming to break off the engagement, I had already sent someone to explain the situation.

Yet you still humiliate me like this!

My Zhang Family, from beginning to end, has always treated the Xiao Family with courtesy...

On the other side.

Jiang Lin saw that the toxic Qi from the shredded pieces had been absorbed by Xiao Dong.

A smile played on his lips, and he immediately made his Move.

His strongest Move, Life-Reaping Heavenly Needles!

Silver needles, filling the sky, shot directly towards Xiao Dong.

"How dare you, young man!?"

From the main seat, Xiao Yuan instantly erupted with Soul Transformation Stage strength, attempting to block those silver needles.

"Suppress!"

A single word hung in the air, and Xiao Yuan was directly pressed down onto his chair, his Aura completely gone.

It was Jiang Lin's Dao Protector, who had secretly made a Move!

A Void Refining Stage master!

At this moment, the Zhang Family Elder hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and advised:

"Brother Xiao, don't be impatient. It's normal for young people to have a competition!"

After speaking, Xiao Yuan also reacted.

He had been too hasty.

When Xiao Dong was at the Advanced Golden Core Stage, he had already slain Cultivators in the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul.

Now that he was at the Golden Core Peak, he couldn't possibly be afraid of Jiang Lin, that fop who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

But they didn't know that Xiao Dong had already been poisoned with a hallucinogenic drug and was trapped in an illusion.

Bang!

The countless poisonous needles all pierced into Xiao Dong's Meridians.

"Wake up!"

Within his Soul, Duan Tianya roared angrily.

At this moment, Xiao Dong suddenly woke up.

But his Meridians were all severely injured, and he was even being stepped on by Jiang Lin.

What!?

Xiao Dong lost?

He was completely defenseless against Jiang Lin?

Now, activating the kunlun mirror was no longer realistic!

On the main seat, Xiao Yuan's Face was filled with shock, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

He was very clear about Xiao Dong's strength.

He was actually defeated by that fop who cultivated with Medicinal Pills, in a single Move!

This truly shocked him.

Everything happened too quickly, and Zhang Wanmeng only then reacted.

Jiang Lin just directly made a Move like that?

So clean and decisive, this... Is this still the useless fop I knew?

"Xiao Dong, there was no marriage to begin with, so how can there be a divorce of a wife?"

"Just a marriage contract from your Elders, and you expect Zhang Wanmeng's life to be solely devoted to you?"

"Why? Was she aware when the marriage contract was made? Did you ever respect her?"

"This world doesn't have to revolve around you to be the Righteous Path!"

These few sentences, Jiang Lin didn't say them to be a messenger of justice, but to shatter Xiao Dong's Dao Heart, speaking them deliberately.

On the guest seats, the startled Zhang Wanmeng, listening to these words, felt a great sense of relief.

This fellow, he actually has some boldness!

Unconsciously, her aversion to Jiang Lin lessened somewhat...

"Is this what it means to be unrivaled among peers?"

"How laughable!"

Jiang Lin stepped on Xiao Dong, continuously using verbal attacks.

As long as Xiao Dong's mental state collapsed, the kunlun mirror in his heart would show signs.

Then he could directly destroy that Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure.

Seeing that the kunlun mirror had not yet appeared, he continued:

"Xiao Dong, I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

"You've severed ties with the Zhang Family, but what about the Xiao Family?"

"Do you still need the Zhang Family to provide you with resources to maintain the Secret Realm's consumption?"

"Do you still need the Zhang Family to help you deter those enemies?"

"You've cleanly separated your relations!"

"To outsiders, it looks like you, Xiao Dong, have ambition and pride!"

"And the Zhang Family's mercenary Face, favoring the rich and disdaining the poor, has wronged your Xiao Family!"

On the main seat, Xiao Yuan, his Face flushed with anger, roared: "Enough! The matters between my Xiao Family and the Zhang Family have nothing to do with Young Master Jiang!"

Jiang Lin pressed down harder with his foot, showing no mercy.

"Old man Xiao, I gave Wanmeng Face by entering through your main gate. If you provoke me, I'll make your Xiao Family disappear from this area by the next day!"

"I'm telling you, today I forced the Zhang Family to break off the engagement, so what?"

"Does your Xiao Family dare to say no?"

"You still refuse? Did I give you the right to refuse?"

Jiang Lin increased the pressure on his foot by a fraction, looking arrogantly at Xiao Yuan on the main seat.

Zhang Wanmeng suddenly looked at Jiang Lin, her eyes subtly moving.

What exactly does he want to do?

Is he proclaiming his sovereignty over her?

Logically, shouldn't she intensely dislike such an attitude?

At this moment, Jiang Lin actually possessed a unique kind of dominance.

"He, he really seems different from what I originally understood..."

On the ground,

Xiao Dong knew he had fallen into Jiang Lin's trap, and the poison in his body couldn't be resolved quickly.

But he still didn't give in.

"Jiang Lin... cough cough, you're despicable and shameless!"

"You actually used poison!"

"If you're a man, let's have a fair and square fight!"

"I, Xiao Dong, am not someone you can bully as you please!"

Looking at Xiao Dong, who was severely injured but still composed, Jiang Lin secretly praised:

"As expected of the protagonist, his mental state isn't in disarray even like this?"

But Jiang Lin knew what the trump card was.

He bent down, a mocking curve forming on his lips.

"Bullying... Don't you just want the Zhang Family to give you more compensation?"

After speaking, Jiang Lin raised his hand,

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed throughout the entire hall.

The protagonist cares about his Face, so I'll directly slap his Face!
