Chapter 683 The sword is coming! - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

"You old fossil, bring it on." Su Xuan faced Wang Wanli's offensive without fear, leaping into the air to clash palms with Wang Wanli mid-sky. Their palms collided ferociously with a deafening explosion, transforming the area within several miles into a chaotic zone centered around them. The fierce wind generated by the shockwaves whipped the clothes of those below into a frenzy. Simultaneously, Wang Wanli took three steps back, hovering in the air. In contrast, Su Xuan stepped back five paces. Wang Wanli was stunned. Although he had the upper hand, he could easily overpower Su Xuan not too long ago. He didn’t expect Su Xuan to quickly gain the strength to match him. "Kid, I should have killed you back then, no matter the cost!" Wang Wanli regretted. "Old fossil, it's too late for that now," Su Xuan replied with a smug grin. "It's not too late to kill you now," Wang Wanli sneered, his entire body emanating an aura of spiritual power as he launched another attack on Su Xuan. Unfazed, Su Xuan charged forward to meet him. The two streaks of light collided time and again in the air, each clash accompanied by a thunderous boom. Below, people watched in stunned silence. Wang Wanli was a renowned top-tier powerhouse in the Eastern Domain, at the sixteenth level of the Saint Realm. Meanwhile, Su Xuan had only emerged in the Eastern Domain for less than a year, yet he was already holding his own against Wang Wanli. Wang Haoran also glanced upwards at the battle scene, his expression unchanging. He had anticipated this outcome. For a protagonist like Su Xuan, fighting above his level was practically routine. After a while, the two combatants retreated to opposite ends of the sky. Wang Wanli's face was filled with shock. He had used almost all his strength yet found himself unable to deal with Su Xuan. Su Xuan’s rapid growth made Wang Wanli feel an intense sense of threat. Wang Wanli couldn’t help but admire his great-grandson’s foresight. If he had come alone to destroy the Feiyun Pavilion, he would likely have failed miserably. Fortunately, he heeded Wang Haoran’s advice and brought the Wang family’s strongest forces. Yet, before Wang Wanli could call for help, a distant sigh echoed in the void. "Sigh, who would have thought such a genius would emerge in the Eastern Domain? If only he were one of our Wang family members..." As the voice spoke, a figure slowly appeared in the sky. The person had hair and beard as white as snow, yet his face resembled that of a young man. Hearing this, Wang Haoran’s face darkened. The Wang Family Ancestor’s words implied a dissatisfaction with the younger generation of the Wang family compared to Su Xuan. However, Wang Haoran was in no rush to prove anything. He suspected Su Xuan still had hidden aces up his sleeve. Let these two old men probe Su Xuan further. Once he was sure Su Xuan posed no threat to him, he could then make his move. If things went wrong and the two old men couldn’t handle it, he could always run away. Having thought it through, Wang Haoran quietly observed the situation. "It's the Wang Family Ancestor!" Someone below recognized the old man and exclaimed in shock. Xu Ao's pupils contracted as well. The Wang Family Ancestor had been in seclusion for many years, rarely appearing in public, yet he personally came this time. No matter how strong Su Xuan was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for the Wang Family Ancestor, could he? With this thought, Xu Ao approached Wang Haoran and said: "Su Xuan is Qingtong’s suitor, you are Qingxuan’s, and you might be family in the future. Why create such enmity? Isn’t there room for negotiation here?" "Senior Xu, since you put it that way, how can I say no? But it depends on Su Xuan's decision," Wang Haoran replied. "What do you propose?" Xu Ao quickly inquired. "If Su Xuan is willing to wear mourning clothes for the Wang family disciple who died tragically and keep vigil for seven days, then we can let bygones be bygones. It’s only reasonable for Su Xuan to do this considering a life was lost, isn't it?" Wang Haoran proposed something he knew Su Xuan would completely reject. He claimed to give Xu Ao face but had no intention of letting Su Xuan go. It was merely a superficial gesture for his future father-in-law. "Su Xuan, what do you think?" Xu Ao thought it was an opportunity and asked Su Xuan in the sky. "No way!" Su Xuan firmly refused. Xu Ao was startled. "Senior Xu, you heard him," Wang Haoran said. Xu Ao sighed and stopped trying to persuade. This Wang family young master was his eldest daughter’s suitor, and Su Xuan was his younger daughter's. Stuck in the middle, there was no right way to help either, so he chose not to take sides. "Young man, if you join the Wang family and take the Wang surname, I can consider sparing your life and even nurturing you. What do you say?" The Wang Family Ancestor floated in the air, gazing at Su Xuan, who was a few meters away. "That’s something to consider, but I have one condition," Su Xuan replied with a cold smile. "What condition?" The Wang Family Ancestor asked instinctively. Su Xuan pointed below at Wang Haoran, "Kill him, and I’ll consider joining the Wang family." A cold gleam flashed in the Wang Family Ancestor’s eyes, "Young man, you're toying with me." "Old fossil, you guessed right," Su Xuan grinned, then called out, "Master, if you don’t show up now, I might get killed." Following Su Xuan's words, a streak of light flew out from his ring, materializing into a virtual image of a stunning woman in red in mid-air. An immense spiritual wave emanated from this ethereal woman. Below, Wang Haoran stared for a few seconds in astonishment. Su Xuan’s trump card turned out to be a personal mentor—wait, more like a personal mentor grandmother? No, that’s not quite right; she was too beautiful, likely the heroine. Su Xuan respectfully called her master, but surely some part of his reverence had morphed into something else! The Wang Family Ancestor looked at this virtual woman and felt the powerful spiritual wave from her, his expression turning slightly serious. "No wonder you could withstand my attack last time; it was with her spiritual support!" Wang Wanli realized something seeing this scene. "Old fossil, you guessed right again, but no prize for you," Su Xuan teased. "You brat, I'll tear you limb from limb!" Wang Wanli threatened harshly, yet he didn’t act immediately and instead glanced at the Wang Family Ancestor. "Young man, you genuinely make me feel deeply threatened. Since you refuse to join the Wang family, you absolutely cannot be left alive," murder radiated from the Wang Family Ancestor’s eyes. "This individual is strong. In my spiritual state, I can’t fight for long. Find an opportunity to escape," the ethereal woman instructed Su Xuan. "Understood," Su Xuan replied in the same manner. At that moment, both the Wang Family Ancestor and Wang Wanli launched their attacks. The mysterious woman in red blocked the Wang Family Ancestor while Su Xuan engaged Wang Wanli. "Su Xuan must be out of cards now, right? It's my turn," Wang Haoran thought to himself. In the air, remembering his master’s advice, Su Xuan pretended to fight fiercely with Wang Wanli but found a gap to maneuver. After clashing palms with Wang Wanli, he used the momentum to head towards the Wang family disciples below. "Haoran, dodge quickly!" Wang Wanli was alarmed, instantly realizing Su Xuan's intent. He aimed to take Wang Haoran hostage! Wang Haoran found this slightly amusing as he was just about to make his move. In a flash, Su Xuan was in front of Wang Haoran. Wang Tong reacted the fastest, drawing his sword to guard Wang Haoran. However, Su Xuan's palm strike sent him reeling, his sword flying from his grip. Su Xuan's fingers poised to capture Wang Haoran. Wang Haoran's lips curled slightly, his hand gestured as he shouted instinctively. "Sword, come!" The sword Wang Tong had dropped flew into Wang Haoran's hand. Spiritual energy surged like a mountain, shooting skyward, a brilliant sword light cutting through time and space, cleaving towards Su Xuan!
