My clothes were torn and disheveled; I looked utterly wretched. I glanced at An Yao, still clutched in the first hand, and let the blood trickle down my cheeks.

Then, he coughed up another mouthful of blood. Looking at An Yao, I gave a bitter smile. "Little sister, I'm sorry. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't protect you."

Hearing my words, An Yao cried. She struggled to break free from the first person's grasp and ran to me, immediately kneeling beside me. Tears streamed down my face as she hugged me tightly, sobbing, "Brother, you're already so excellent, you're already one of the world's top experts. That's enough, you've tried so hard. Don't be so foolish, don't get hurt for An Yao's sake anymore."

Seeing An Yao cry, my heart ached terribly. I still remember the day I reluctantly gave her to Nie Xiaohai. My heart ached as if it were being scraped by a knife.

And now, watching my petite sister cling to me and cry, my heart aches with indescribable pain. Reaching out, I tightly grasped her slender arm and smiled at An Yao, saying, "Little sister, do you still consider me your brother?"

“Yes, I accept it. You are my dearest family. You are the best person in the world to me. Even if An Yao breaks her promise, An Yao will still accept you as her brother.” An Yao looked at me and cried.

"Hehe, silly girl." Hearing An Yao's words, I couldn't help but reach out and wipe away her tears. But as soon as I wiped away one tear, more tears flowed from her eyes down my fingers and onto my wrist.

Her eyes were cold, but her tears were hot.

Looking at my petite and pitiful little sister, I thought for a moment and reluctantly climbed out of her arms. As soon as she saw me trying to get up again, An Yao stared at me with wide, cold eyes. "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, I have to protect you. I'm a man of the Wang family, how can I watch my sister cry in front of me?" He smiled. I struggled to my feet.

Then, I stood in front of An Yao, coldly looking at the hundreds of Oda Seiji before me, and said, "Oda Seiji, since I could kill you once, I can kill you a hundred more times. You have already lost; you are my defeated opponent. Once you have lost to me, you will never be my match again. My Wang family is invincible, and I, Wang Xi, am invincible!"

As I spoke, an even greater golden light emanated from my body. The golden dragon, which had been on the verge of death, rose again and circled around me. As my body emitted a tremendous golden light, the golden dragon grew even larger. Even though it was covered in wounds, it persisted just as resolutely as I had.

People possess an aura, and my aura is like that golden dragon. When my aura surges, the golden dragon becomes fierce and powerful once again.

"That blade aura from before, try it again." Seeing that I could still stand, the first person laughed.

Upon hearing the first man's words, the hundred-plus Oda Seiji men stared coldly at me. Then, raising their swords, they said coldly, "Weaklings. Die!"

As the swords of hundreds of Oda Seiji fell gently, hundreds of even larger beams of black light slashed fiercely towards me. The black light was silent, like a death ray capable of devouring everything.

I saw hundreds of black lights slashing fiercely towards me. Suddenly, Young Master Bao rushed in front of me, opened his arms and roared at them, "Fuck you! If you want to kill Brother Xi, you'll have to get past me, Young Master Bao, first!"

"Young Master Bao, what are you doing!" I yelled, reaching out to pull hard on Young Master Bao's clothes.

However, when I pulled hard on Young Master Bao's clothes, I found that I couldn't budge him at all. I only felt that Young Master Bao's body was emanating billowing black energy, and within that black energy, a giant black dragon gradually materialized.

I was surprised. I never expected that Young Master Bao would break through his cultivation level at this moment and become a powerful expert in the Fusion stage.

Hundreds of black beams struck Young Master Bao simultaneously, and the black dragon within Young Master Bao's aura immediately let out a painful, shrill cry.

Then, Young Master Bao coughed up a mouthful of blood, sending me and An Yao flying.

As soon as we landed, I panicked and hugged Young Master Bao. I saw blood streaming from his mouth, and he looked at me with unfocused eyes, saying, "Brother Xi, everyone says I got to where I am today by flattering you. But do you know what? I truly consider you a brother. Even before you were the heir of the Wang family, I already admired you. The reason I flattered you was just to make you happy. You're a big shot now, you should be happier."

"You shouldn't always be frowning and making yourself live such a tiring life..." With a smile, blood kept gushing from Young Master Bao's mouth.

"If I could, I'd like to live that kind of life again. I'd go back home and steal money, then treat you to the best bathhouse..." Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Young Master Bao gently closed his eyes...

"Liu Bao!!!!!!!!!!" Upon hearing Young Master Bao's words, tears welled up in my eyes as I roared in anguish.

Chapter 444 The King Serpent Reappears

At that moment, I held Young Master Bao tightly with one arm and gripped his wrist with the other. I could clearly feel his pulse growing weaker and weaker, gradually ceasing. Looking at Young Master Bao's still somewhat youthful face, at the downy hair on his lips, scenes of our time together flashed through my mind like a series of images.

"Hahaha, my little brother hit your little brother? I'm so sorry, I'll just drink three cups of wine as punishment, and let's just let this matter go."

"Brother, don't blame me. It's Brother Wendi who wants to deal with you. You've offended Brother Wendi, so even if I wanted to help you, there's nothing I can do."

"Wang Xi. Who exactly are you?"

"Brother Xi, I fucking left my keys at home. My parents are on vacation, and I can't get home. Otherwise, I would definitely treat you to a big meal."

"You're all rich now. You should act like rich people. I'll show you how to spend money and let you see how rich people live. Don't be afraid, my family is rich."

Only now do I realize that the money that young master Bao spent on us was all stolen from his home. Yes, even if his family was wealthy, he was still just a high school student back then. Unless you come from an extremely wealthy family, who would casually give their child ten or twenty thousand yuan for pocket money?

I could clearly feel that Young Master Bao's pulse had stopped, and I saw that he had stopped breathing. My expression gradually turned cold, and I gently put Young Master Bao down and stood up.

I know that if I'm in danger, Young Master Bao will definitely step forward and protect me with his life. I've always known this, and I've never doubted that Young Master Bao's feelings for me are genuine.

He's a scoundrel; he's done a lot of wrong things in the past. But he's also a true man.

He is a friend I can truly cherish.

Now that Young Master Bao is dead, my whole body feels cold. My brother shielded me from a fatal blow by hundreds of Oda Seiji's men, and I must do something for him.

He coldly stared at the hundreds of Oda Seiji in front of him, and at the number one behind those hundreds of Oda Seiji.

I licked the blood from the corner of my mouth and looked at them expressionlessly, saying, "Do you know? The martial art I practice is called the Thirteen Bodyguards of Horizontal Training. To master this martial art, you need to have a master constantly beat your body with an iron rod every day. And the more severe the injury I suffer each time, the stronger my body becomes after I recover."

"Actually, I'm the least afraid of getting hurt. Every time I get injured, my strength increases. I will become stronger with each battle. I am Wang Xi, who grows stronger when facing stronger opponents and is never defeated!"

As I spoke, I coldly watched them walk towards them.

"Oh? You get stronger when faced with stronger opponents? Then what if there are hundreds of Oda Seijis in front of me? After they cut you into a hundred pieces, wouldn't you become an immortal?" First laughed.

"Heh." I just sneered after hearing what the first person said.

As I took another step toward them, Oda Seiji frowned slightly and slashed at me fiercely with his sword.

We were still far apart, and he unleashed a blade of energy. I only saw a black light hurtling towards me. I didn't dodge. I felt my body being struck by a surge of true energy, and I paused for a moment. Then, I continued walking towards them expressionlessly.

Seeing that I hadn't been knocked away, the expressions of the Oda Seijis changed. Another Oda Seiji stepped forward and slashed a black beam of light fiercely towards me.

I didn't dodge; I simply took the blow without flinching.

Seeing that I still hadn't flown away, the Oda Seiji were taken aback. Then, several Oda Seiji unleashed sword energy at me, but I merely flinched and walked towards them again.

Seeing that I was still unharmed, they felt their strength had been insulted. Then, dozens of Oda Seiji quickly swung their swords at me, but I still didn't dodge, simply letting the sword energy strike my body.

Young Master Bao's death dealt me ​​a huge blow. Just like Liuli that day, she thought Wang You was dead, and even though she exhausted all her true energy, she wanted to avenge Wang You.

And my mindset now is the same as Liuli's back then.

I don't want anything else anymore, I just want revenge for Young Master Bao. I just want to kill that damned number one, and kill Oda Seiji, who makes me uneasy the moment I see him.

The sword energy wielded by Oda Seiji would surely hurt me if it struck. But my heart had already turned cold. My body was already numb.

I don't care about being hurt, I don't care about dying. I only want to avenge Young Master Bao, I only want to rescue Liuli.

As the sword strikes from hundreds of Oda Seiji struck my body, the true energy that had already fused within me underwent subtle changes. It felt like a stubborn rock suddenly gaining insight, a flash of inspiration crossing my mind.

This feeling was actually a slight flutter of the heart. As soon as I experienced this feeling, the true energy within my body surged uncontrollably like a raging torrent.

The hundred or so Oda Seiji who were constantly swinging their swords at me also sensed the change in my aura. The first one narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tempted?"

Yes, my fusion realm has actually broken through at this moment. It was because Xi'er put me in a furnace to temper me like an alchemist in order to heal my injuries and enable me to participate in the martial arts tournament again.

The precious medicinal herbs, refined by Xi'er to their maximum effect, were all absorbed into my body. Although my strength only increased from the middle to the upper level of the Fusion stage, my body still contained a great deal of spiritual energy, and the medicinal effects had not been fully absorbed. This is why, immediately after I was refined, I carried a rich spiritual aura wherever I went, making everyone think I was an immortal.

Now, as my body's cells are damaged, the remaining spiritual energy within me immediately begins to repair them. The spiritual energy I hadn't yet absorbed is now being drawn into my body because of the damage to my cells.

Because I absorbed all the spiritual energy in my body, and because my body was constantly repairing itself, I actually became a master of the Heartbeat stage under these circumstances.

My entire state of being underwent a tremendous change, and my physical strength increased once again. When the sword energy of Oda Seiji and his men struck my body again, I no longer felt the pain as before. Instead, my entire body felt a surge of heat, and my heart was filled with an indescribable excitement.

I crave battle, and like Wang Yu, I grow stronger with each fight.

"Oda Seiji, stop wasting time. If you waste any more time, the Wang family's reinforcements will probably arrive soon. Use your latest move to take down Wang Xi in one strike." The First One smiled and said to Oda Seiji and the others, surprised that I had become stronger again.

Upon hearing the first man's words, Oda Seiji and the others frowned simultaneously. Then, after a moment's thought, they gathered a massive amount of black energy once more. Then, the hundreds of Oda Seiji simultaneously raised their swords and gently swung them towards me.

I sensed an even stronger surge of true energy than before. I saw hundreds of black lights unleashed simultaneously, then continuously merge together. From hundreds of black lights, it became fifty; from fifty, it became twenty-five. The black lights continued to merge, becoming fewer and fewer. But... the black lights became even more formidable, becoming indestructible.

As I felt the sharp black light hurtling towards me, I realized how terrifying the hundreds of black lights combined were. Even if I were a peak Golden Core cultivator at this moment, I would probably be severely injured by those hundreds of black lights.

But I am not afraid, I am not afraid of death. If I cannot avenge Young Master Bao, if I cannot protect An Yao, then what meaning does my existence, Wang Xi, have?

I gritted my teeth, tensed all my muscles, and roared, "Come on, let me, Wang Xi, see your power!"

"Son, you shouldn't risk your life like this." A gentle voice suddenly came from behind me. A dashing and handsome man slowly appeared behind me.

Upon hearing that voice, my heart skipped a beat. I turned around abruptly, my eyes wide, and exclaimed, "Father!?"

"Alas, I underestimated the strength of this number one..." My father smiled and gently wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.

Just as the black light was about to strike me, the entire factory suddenly began to shake violently. The ground bulged up, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth.

Then, a golden dragon soared into the sky, spewing out a thick cloud of black mist. The golden dragon directly blocked the black light unleashed by hundreds of Oda Seiji's attacks…

Chapter 445 The Wang Family's Main Force

It was the King Serpent, the King Serpent had come to save me. At this moment, the King Serpent was covered in thick, golden scales. Since following me, this King Serpent had devoured countless rare and precious herbs. During its time living with the Wang family, it had an endless supply of divine herbs and elixirs. Now, the King Serpent was even larger than before. When it appeared before us, it was no different from the legendary dragon.

The power of the king serpent is something I've never seen before.

As the King Serpent shot upwards from the ground, blocking the black light slashed down by Oda Seiji, it let out a piercing roar.

However, the black aura surrounding it also became even denser.

All that could be seen was the king cobra writhing in agony a few times, then a chilling glint flashed from its lantern-sized eyes. That glint sent shivers down one's spine, sending shivers down one's spine.

Then, the king cobra roared fiercely and spat out a thick cloud of black mist at the hundreds of Oda Seiji in front of it.

The black mist contained a petrifying poison. Even the most powerful experts would find it incurable if they were poisoned by petrification. Sensing the danger emanating from the black mist, the hundreds of Oda Seiji standing before us immediately scattered.

Seeing even the hundreds of Oda Seijis dodging, First couldn't help but quickly retreat more than ten steps. Then, glancing at the enormous King Serpent and then at my father, who exuded an aura of power, First grinned and said, "Even the head of the Wang family has been attracted. It seems this game is going to be quite interesting."

"Father, why are you here?" With the King Snake there to hold me off for a while, I was out of danger. I turned around and looked at my father.

"Hehe, I came for you and Anyao." The father laughed.

"Huh?" I was surprised.

"I didn't care about the first one. What I was worried about was you and An Yao. I thought it would be boring for one person to travel a long way, so I brought Wang She and my daughter-in-law Li Bihui along. But I didn't expect your Wang She to be so useless, afraid of flying. So, I'm a little late," the father said with a smile.

"Drink!?" Although the king cobra wasn't very intelligent, it could still understand if someone spoke ill of it. It glared fiercely at its father and exhaled a thick cloud of black mist. Then, the king cobra's massive tail swept fiercely towards its father.

"Damn it, you beast! You're in my Wang family. I've been feeding you while my Xi'er was away. And now, after I said one bad word about you, you've turned against me? You're definitely not someone to be kept alive. It's no better to raise a cold-blooded animal than a warm-blooded one." My father quickly pulled me away from the king cobra's attack and shouted at it.

"Drink!" Upon hearing my father's words, the king cobra became even angrier. But it only glanced at me, and its fierce gaze immediately softened. Then, the entire snake swam rapidly towards me, affectionately coiling its body tightly around me.

The king cobra's body was icy cold, and now it was even stronger, the entire snake resembling a cold piece of steel. Its strength was immense, and I was almost suffocating as it intimately coiled around me.

A flicker of pain crossed my face, and I quickly slapped King Snake's body. Then, glaring at First, I said to King Snake, "King Snake, First killed my friend! Kill First and avenge my friend!"

"Drink!" Upon hearing my words, the King Serpent immediately released me. Then, it transformed into a massive black light and charged towards the first.

This was the first time he had seen such a powerful monster, so he dared not underestimate the strength of the King Serpent. As the King Serpent charged towards him, he glanced at the spot where hundreds of Oda Seiji had just slashed.

All that could be seen was a bloody gash where the hundred or so Oda Seiji had slashed, but it had little effect on the King Serpent. The First One finally took it seriously, and couldn't help but frown slightly as he addressed the hundred or so Oda Seiji: "Block it for me!"

Upon hearing First's words, the hundred-plus Oda Seiji immediately charged towards the King Serpent. Quickly, First vanished into thin air, escaping. The hundred-plus Oda Seiji rushed forward, tightly surrounding the King Serpent. They all brandished their swords, relentlessly slashing at its body, but the King Serpent's scales were practically impervious to blades and spears. No matter how wildly they hacked at it, the King Serpent only roared, remaining unharmed. Then, with a violent thud, dozens of Oda Seiji were sent flying.
