"You call yourself what, daring to speak such shameless words to us? I really want to see what abilities you have!" Ling Shuya was now practically a Yellow Rank Middle Stage Martial Artist and had never really fought with anyone, so right now, seeing Wu Xinyuan insulting herself and her father with words, she immediately stepped forward, eager to have a go!

Like a calf unconcerned by the presence of a tiger, this saying was never more apt than for the current Ling Shuya!

"Yaya, step back!" Ling Hengyu, seeing his daughter ready to take on Wu Xinyuan, was instantly taken aback. He knew well the abilities of Wu Xinyuan.

"Daddy!" Ling Shuya immediately turned to her father, with Ling Hengyu looking extremely serious at the moment!

"Weei Jie, take Yaya to my study!" Ling Hengyu then turned to Weei Jie and commanded solemnly.

Weei Jie understood that Ling Hengyu didn't want Ling Shuya to get hurt, but he was also well aware of Wu Xinyuan's strength. Although Ling Hengyu had once been a Martial Arts expert, he was now a half-disabled man; how could he possibly handle Wu Xinyuan!

"Mr. Ling..." Weei Jie looked at Ling Hengyu.

"Go upstairs!" Ling Hengyu's words were filled with an irrefutable authority.

Weei Jie immediately nodded, then turned to Ling Shuya beside him and said, "Miss, let's go upstairs."

"Why should I go upstairs? This is my home. I'd like to see what he can do to me. If I don't show my power, he will think I'm a sick cat!" said Ling Shuya as she agilely walked straight toward Wu Xinyuan.

Wu Xinyuan looked at the Miss of the Ling family with a surge of delight, his affection for Ling Shuya growing even more.

As Ling Shuya ran over, both Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie got a fright, wanted to follow, but at that moment, a shadow flashed!

This shadow blocked Ling Shuya's path!

"Miss Ling, the boss ordered me to ensure your safety. You can't just throw away your life!" A voice laced with mockery echoed through the villa.

Ling Shuya then realized that the person blocking her way was Zhou Yuyan's brother, Zhou Hao!

Zhou Hao, leading a group of blood blade elites, armed and hidden around the Ling family villa, was surprised that Wu Xinyuan could enter the villa without his notice. If it weren't for Ling Shuya's loud voice, which reached Zhou Hao's ears, he might not even be aware of the situation in the villa!

"Zhou Hao!" Ling Shuya looked at Zhou Hao before saying, "He's just a cripple. Wouldn't it be easy for me to beat him?"

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Zhou Hao felt an urge to laugh.

Indeed, the man seemed like a cripple, but given that he had entered the Ling family villa undetected, his strength was certainly extraordinary. Zhou Hao had broken into the Early Xuan Rank, but he wasn't sure he could truly defeat him!

Wu Xinyuan's face turned grim when he heard Ling Shuya's words. Due to the battle with Ye Xiao, several nerves in his leg were damaged, and even with high Martial Arts prowess, he would likely be a cripple in the future. Right now, what he hated most was being called a cripple!

So, Wu Xinyuan moved!

And he moved very swiftly!

It could be said that Ling Shuya didn't even see how Wu Xinyuan moved because by the time she saw clearly, Wu Xinyuan was already in front of her.

"Go to hell!" Even though Ling Shuya was beautiful, it couldn't quell the rage in Wu Xinyuan's heart at that moment!

Ling Shuya didn't react in time, but Zhou Hao, Ling Hengyu, and Weei Jie did. Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie were too far away to intercept, while Zhou Hao, who was closer, immediately exerted all his strength to block Wu Xinyuan's hand while shouting loudly at Ling Shuya, "Run!"

As Zhou Hao and Wu Xinyuan's hand skills made contact, Zhou Hao was sent flying, crashing heavily into the dining table six or seven meters away. The dining table, made of tempered glass, shattered into pieces upon the impact of Zhou Hao's body!

Boom!

Zhou Hao fell to the ground and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Ah?" Ling Shuya was stunned, as were Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie!

None of them had anticipated the sheer power of Wu Xinyuan's palm strike, hurling Zhou Hao so far and with such ferocious strength!

Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie had intended to go over and help Zhou Hao up, but at that moment, Wu Xinyuan grabbed hold of Ling Shuya!

The brute had no lecherous intentions at that time; instead, he choked Ling Shuya's neck with his hand.

"Wu Xinyuan, stop it right now!" Ling Hengyu, seeing his daughter in extreme danger, immediately shouted loudly at Wu Xinyuan!

Wu Xinyuan looked up at Ling Hengyu and let out a wild cackle. Gazing at Ling Shuya whose neck he was clutching, he laughed and said, "Still think I'm a fool? I hate it most when people look down on me, so, you must die!"

"Ah?" Hearing Wu Xinyuan's words, Ling Hengyu immediately took a step forward, but he dared not get too close, and said to Wu Xinyuan, "Don't hurt her."

Ling Hengyu's voice now possessed a pleading tone. As the helmsman of Hengyu Group, no matter the occasion, he always bore an air of superiority and spoke with an authoritative demeanor. However, now facing Wu Xinyuan, Ling Hengyu was nearly groveling.

Currently in this world, Ling Hengyu had only one family member, and that was Ling Shuya. If even Ling Shuya died, then the only pillar supporting Ling Hengyu's existence in this world would no longer exist.

Wu Xinyuan watched the struggling Ling Shuya and the pleading Ling Hengyu, laughed, and said, "Hand over the Heavenly Book, and I can spare your daughter's life!"

The Heavenly Book, again the Heavenly Book!

Ling Hengyu was truly exasperated. Why did everyone say he owned the Heavenly Book? Who was the one who alleged he possessed the Heavenly Book? When did he ever have the Heavenly Book?

"I really don't have the Heavenly Book!" Ling Hengyu initially wanted to produce a fake one but then thought better of it. Wu Xinyuan was a Martial Arts expert; giving him a fake manual would be swiftly seen through, and then the situation would become even direr.

So, Ling Hengyu told the truth!

Upon hearing Ling Hengyu's words, Wu Xinyuan burst into uproarious laughter. His grip tightened slightly, causing Ling Shuya's face to redden from the strain of being unable to breathe!

"It seems you really want to watch your daughter die!"

Ling Hengyu could clearly see Wu Xinyuan's actions and immediately turned deathly pale with fear!

"Don't... don't... don't be rash, I don't have the Heavenly Book, but there's a manual, and if you think that's the Heavenly Book, then take it." Ling Hengyu said to Wu Xinyuan, at this point, he couldn't care about anything else.

"Mr. Ling!" Weei Jie, upon hearing Ling Hengyu's words, understood what he was intending and immediately looked at Ling Hengyu, greatly shocked – that was the manual passed down from the ancestors of the Ling family, and though no one had mastered it, it was an ancient divine skill!

Ling Hengyu sighed and said resignedly to Weei Jie, "I can't let anything happen to my daughter. Moreover, I only have one daughter, so with this manual reaching my generation, it may as well end here."

"Oh?" Wu Xinyuan could see from Ling Hengyu's words and expression that he was not being deceived. He then immediately said to Ling Hengyu, "Bring it here for me to see. If it really is on par with the Heavenly Book, I still might spare your daughter!"

Wu Xinyuan eased his grip slightly as he spoke, allowing Ling Shuya to breathe normally once more.

Ling Hengyu, with no recourse, said to Wu Xinyuan, "Wait here, I'll go get it, you mustn't..."

"Don't worry, as long as you're not lying, your daughter won't die," Wu Xinyuan said with a smile!

Ling Hengyu then headed upstairs, while Weei Jie went over to Zhou Hao, helping him up, the corners of his mouth still smeared with blood, his complexion deathly pale.

Wu Xinyuan looked at Zhou Hao, who was being supported by Weei Jie, and laughed loudly, saying, "Young man, you really overestimate yourself, daring to match palms with me. A mere novice who's just stepped into the Early Xuan Rank, challenging me is plainly suicidal!"

Zhou Hao, looking at Wu Xinyuan and listening to his words, had a solemn expression.

"If my boss comes back, you will surely be reduced to ashes!" Zhou Hao said earnestly to Wu Xinyuan, confident as a matter of course.

"Ye Xiao!" Wu Xinyuan muttered the name softly and then sneered coldly, saying, "Unfortunately for you, he may not be able to return. If I'm not mistaken, he took a plane to Han City in the Northern Territory. At the very least, it's quite difficult for him to come back now. Besides, even if he does come back, what then? I have invited the renowned Seven-colored Lamp from the Martial Arts World to wait for him. I'm hoping he dares to show up!"

Wu Xinyuan at that moment could be said to rest easy, since in his eyes, if Ye Xiao didn't come, well and good, and if he did, then Ye Xiao would surely be blasted to dust by the Seven-colored Lamp's famous Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation!

So, whether Ye Xiao returned or not, Wu Xinyuan saw victory on the horizon, at least in his own perspective!

Just then, Ling Hengyu came down from upstairs, holding an antique wooden box in his hands. The box was made of an unknown material, resembling both wood and stone, and at a glance, it was difficult to discern its true composition.

At this moment, Wu Xinyuan also saw the box in Ling Hengyu's hands; his heart was exceedingly agitated, for he believed that this might be the Heavenly Book. Even if it wasn't, it assuredly was a very rare Martial Art skill. He now anticipated that, upon obtaining this manual and successfully Cultivating it, he might be able to annihilate Ye Xiao in an instant, avenging the grievous injury to his leg!
