The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao)

Chapter 764 Sadness

“Who is this guy?”

Everyone was in astonishment.

Li Shaozong’s eyes went wide as he scanned the old man from head to toe.

“It's you, Xiao Cangsheng. You're not dead!” exclaimed Wan Yaozong while holding his hand over the

corner of his mouth that was swollen.

“The Grim Reaper, Xiao Cangsheng?”

Meanwhile, the head of the Li Family, Li Feilong, stood up abruptly too out of shock.

Those families with profound backgrounds knew about this old man’s notorious reputation very well.

Then, Li Feilong turned his gaze anxiously toward his son.

“Shaozong, it's dangerous. Quick, come back here!” Li Feilong shouted at his son.

Wan Xue also turned her worried gaze toward Li Shaozong.

Obviously, she was concerned for Li Shaozong’s safety as well.

“Dad, don’t worry about me. Since everyone is terrified of this evil person, I, Li Shaozong, shall punish

him today!”

Li Shaozong’s lips curled into a sneer in the face of such a formidable opponent.

“Haha, not bad, young man. I already thought that you're quite decent since the start. Hahaha, the

reason being you're the most foolish idiot I've ever met after living for 300 years!”

Xiao Cangsheng burst into laughter looking at Li Shaozong.

A few days ago, he had been severely injured by that man, which resulted in him suffering a blow to his

dignity and his strength.

Xiao Cangsheng wanted to seize this opportunity at this ceremony on this day to regain his dignity.

He thought that Chen Hao was a member of one of these great families; that was why he had only

observed the ceremony from afar all these time.

However, there was still not a single trace of Chen Hao at the scene until now, which finally made him

feel relieved. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I, Li Shaozong, will skin you alive today, old man!”

Li Shaozong’s lips quivered as he clenched both his fists.

As he exerted his strength, his long hair began fluttering in the wind.

He was so handsome!

“Be careful, Shaozong!” Wan Xue yelled out worriedly.

Although Wan Xue disliked this man who was in front of her and she despised his temper, there was

nothing she could do because she had fallen for him; they seemed destined to be together.

Li Shaozong gave a nod before dashing forward; his body was like a spring as he thrusted himself

directly toward Xiao Cangsheng.

“Thunder Fist!” he bellowed furiously.

The surrounding of his fist looked like it was covered with electricity.

“Hahaha, fool!” Xiao Cangsheng only let out a sneer.

As he reached his hands out, a black shadow headed toward Li Shaozong.

There was a loud bang the moment the two forces clashed with each other.

Li Shaozong’s expression turned into one of fear in an instant.

His lips seemed to be twisted because of the enormous force.

Li Shaozong had clearly exhibited his strength as a Second Tier Cultivator, but it seemed insignificant

against this person in front of him.

Li Shaozong wanted to dodge the attack but it was too late; he vomited a mouthful of blood before he

was sent flying backward and crashing onto the floor of the stage with a loud thud, resulting in a huge

dent in the ring.

“Oh my God!” Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Wan Yaozong’s eyelids twitched violently while Li Feilong started panicking.

Wan Xue thought that Li Shaozong had a high probability of winning this match like his previous fight

against the demon bull previously. However, nobody expected the fight to end with him getting defeated

with a single attack like last time.

Wan Xue was so shocked at that moment that she put her hands over her mouth.

“Hahaha, you're a fool. Who gave you the courage to challenge me?” Xiao Cangsheng shook his head.

Then, he lifted his hand and Li Shaozong started levitating in the air.

“Ah!” Li Shaozong screamed relentlessly in the air.

“Dad, you have to quickly think of a way to defeat this evil man!” Wan Xue cried out below the stage.

Just when Wan Yaozong was out of ideas, Xiao Cangsheng, who was on stage, took a quick glance at

Wan Xue. “Huh? Little girl, you are also gifted, aren’t you? Alright, since you are so compassionate,

then I’ll absorb the life out of you as well like what I'm going to do to Li Shaozong!”

Then, Xiao Cangsheng lifted his hand once again, pulling Wan Xue toward the stage with an invisible

force.

“Cultivator Xiao, I beg of you! Please release my daughter!” said Wan Yaozong in a panic. He was

extremely distressed.

“Xue!” Xiuxiu, who was in the crowd, stood up with a distraught look.

Wan Xue was struggling with all her might in the air.

Wan Yaozong shouted tearfully, “Cultivator Xiao, I'm sure you don’t wish to become enemies with that

family, right? Furthermore, my daughter is not someone from the realm of Cultivation. What good can

come from hurting her?”

Xiao Cangsheng furrowed his brows before letting out a huge guffaw. “If I let her go just because you

ask me to, then won't it be embarrassing for me? How about this? I will only let one of them go. The

two of you will decide whether to let Li Shaozong or Wan Xue live. This way, I am giving the Wan

Family some dignity. Hahaha!”

Wan Xue became anxious in an instant as she stared at Li Shaozong with a meaningful look.

However, Li Shaozong was already so terrified that his face had turned ghastly white.

“Grandfather, I beg of you! Please release me! Wan Xue is just a common person, but you and I are

from the realm of Cultivation. Killing a commoner is like squashing a bug for you. However, I’m still

valuable to you!” persuaded Li Shaozong with a pale look on his face.

“What?” Wan Xue trembled all over after hearing that.

She did not expect even in her wildest dreams that the man, whom she had feelings for all along, to

say something like this; moreover, he even compared her to a bug.

“Hahaha, there’s some truth to what you said. How about you, little girl? What do you think?” Xiao

Cangsheng turned to Wan Xue again but she was at a loss for words at this moment.

Ever since the day the fortune-teller told her about these, she had been waiting for the person who

would make her fall in love to appear.

The fortune-teller had told her that the person who was fated to be with her was definitely a man worth

loving for the rest of her life.

However, she did not expect that the man would be such a coward.

Wan Xue felt like fate was pulling a prank on her.

Just as she was about to tell Xiao Cangsheng to kill her if he wanted, someone shouted out angrily,

“You're an evil man. You don’t even have any mercy on a girl. You said that you’ve been alive for more

than 300 years. In my opinion, you'll still be nothing but a wicked old demon even if you live for another

1000 years!”

This was a lady’s voice, who was none other than Shen Piaopiao.

Shen Piaopiao had nearly burst with rage after seeing Xiao Cangsheng bully a girl like this.

Thus, she threw the insult at him angrily.

“Oh? What an interesting day! I've stumbled across three people who do not know their places!” said

Xiao Cangsheng. “I, Xiao Cangsheng, have a habit of brutally killing those who disrespect me,

regardless of their gender. So, little girl, today is your unlucky day!” Xiao Cangsheng shook his head,

forcing a smile.

Then, he summoned a formation to lock Wan Xue and Li Shaozong in place before proceeding to

capture Shen Piaopiao.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a beam of white light shot down from the sky, heading directly toward Xiao Cangsheng.

This beam of white light was so bright that it looked like it was going to envelop the entire battle arena

at the Underground Level.

“Huh?” Xiao Cangsheng lifted his brows before he quickly dodged the light. “Who—”
