14: Chapter 014 I Accept the Challenge!
“Eh, are you enjoying the wedding banquet?”
Su Yang’s face brimmed with malice as his gaze immediately fell upon the red cloth atop Su Yuexi’s head, and he sneeringly added, “Uncle, this isn’t very honorable of you.
How could you not invite me to little sister Yue Xi’s wedding ceremony?”
Standing beside him, Su Yun chuckled, “Second brother, who would invite us to a wedding that even pigs would disdain to attend?”
“That’s right, marrying a banished criminal, the Su Family has really thrown their face all the way to grandma’s house.”
The siblings took turns to mock, eyes full of contempt.
Mei Xiaofang’s face turned ashen with rage as she shouted, “Su Yang, Su Yun, get out, my home does not welcome you.”
Though she didn’t say it outright, the memory of Su Yuexi nearly being punished with beating was deeply etched in her heart, and she harbored a deep hatred for Su Yun.
Unfortunately, the Su Yang siblings shrugged off the sentiment nonchalantly.
Even so, Su Yang casually sat down, taunting with a laugh, “Auntie, wouldn’t you like to know why my father pleaded for Su Yuexi, and why grandfather agreed to let Su Yuexi return home?”
The two questions sowed seeds of doubt in Mei Xiaofang; she couldn’t fathom what scheme Su Zhengtao and that old undying gourd were concocting.
Suddenly, the chair under Su Yang’s backside shattered into pieces.
He rose to his full height, glaring directly at Su Zhenglong as he said, “Because I will personally cripple your criminal son-in-law’s limbs myself, and grandpa agreed because he was in a good mood!”
The family of three’s faces distorted wildly.
Instantly, Su Zhenglong rose forcefully, True Qi coursing through his body as he bellowed, “You dare?”
It turned out, the reason Elder Su Xuefeng agreed to let Yue Xi leave the pig rearing yard was indeed to cripple Sikong Jing, and to get back the face Su Zhengtao lost at the Law Enforcement Hall.
Just at that moment, Su Yun scoffed coldly, “Uncle, are you trying to bully the younger generation?”
These words made Su Zhenglong’s face stiffen.
It was exactly what he had said to Su Zhengtao at the Su Family Law Enforcement Hall.
But Su Yang, disregarding Su Zhenglong, pointed at Sikong Jing, with a patronizing tone challenged, “Criminal, I, Su Yang, am of the same generation as you.
I now challenge you, do you dare to accept?”
As he spoke, Su Yang’s True Qi surged throughout his body, and he was indeed at the Bright Realm Eighth Layer.
Sikong Jing, expressionless, slowly stood up.
The next moment, Su Yuexi stepped in front of him saying, “You can’t accept the challenge, Su Yang is at the Bright Realm Eighth Layer, you can’t win.”
Dad said that Sikong Jing was only at the Bright Realm Fourth Stage – there’s a difference of a whole double!”
“Grandpa said, if you, the criminal, dare not to fight, then take Su Yuexi, this ugly freak, back to the pig rearing yard with you.”
“You both shall live there your whole lives, reduced to being servants of the Su Residence, rearing pigs for the entire family.”
Su Yang had anticipated that Su Zhenglong’s family wouldn’t dare to let Sikong Jing fight, so he pressed them deliberately.
Overcome by a fit of violent coughing, Su Zhenglong’s eyes turned bloodshot – was this an attempt to force Sikong Jing to his death?
His father and Su Zhengtao were too ruthless!
Yet at this moment, Sikong Jing stepped around Su Yuexi, taking a decisive step forward.
Su Yuexi’s face changed, and she clung to him tightly, saying, “You still can’t accept the challenge, I don’t mind living in the pig rearing yard.”
Turning to look at the desperately anxious Su Yuexi, Sikong Jing enunciated each word with gravity, “I am your husband.
Now that I am awakened, I won’t let you live in such a place again.
That is my responsibility.”
Withdrawing his hand from Su Yuexi’s grip, Sikong Jing coldly spoke to Su Yang, “I, accept the challenge!”
Today was his wedding day, as well as the day when Sikong Jingzhen truly realized the world was fraught with malice but also filled with tenderness.
He would fight for his bride, swearing rebirth with his fists.
The once Invincible God General was no more, but he was ready to transform into a fierce beast, tearing apart all injustice to protect his beloved ones.
Behind him, Su Yuexi watched Sikong Jing’s towering figure, tears falling unconsciously.
Knowing how ugly she was, why did he still treat her so well?
Facing certain defeat but still choosing to battle, unwilling to let her suffer further – was this what being a husband meant?
At the same time, Mei Xiaofang spoke, trembling, “You scoundrel, are you trying to make my daughter a widow on her wedding day?”
Su Zhenglong managed a bitter smile.
This son-in-law was truly obstinate.
Perhaps it was this very nature that had offended others and led to his banishment.
The father and daughter trio couldn’t believe that Sikong Jing had the slightest chance of winning.
Su Yang burst into hearty laughter, “You’ve got guts, criminal.
I, Su Yang, am always kind-hearted.
When I break your limbs later, I’ll try to do it swiftly.”
He was in high spirits, thinking the criminal was just too brainless, provoked into a challenge with just a bit of goading.
Suddenly, the icy voice of Sikong Jing exploded in Su Yang’s ear.
Su Yang’s laughter stopped abruptly as an immense fist appeared before him.
Instinctively, he tried to block with crossed arms, but he heard Sikong Jing’s voice again, “Your speed is too slow!”
A thudding strike landed squarely on Su Yang’s face!
Seeing stars, Su Yang involuntarily flew upward, blood spraying in midair, his body crashing down heavily.
Sikong Jing descended lightly, met with the incredulous stares of Su Yuexi and the others behind him.
