Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan

'Typical but what did I expect?' Xiao Yan inwardly let out a sigh. His two heavenly flames surged and lit up within him, awaiting for him to use them. Though not before hitting Jia Lie Ao and his bodyguards' minds, messing their memories of his face subtly and his store's location. But even then, he knew that it wouldn't be enough as he knew investigation of his store and himself would come soon later on. His luck as a protagonist would make certain of that.

'I honestly don't want any trouble coming to me, but they're a more pain if I don't settle this now.' All the storylines from Xiao Yan had read in his past could attest to that. 'I have to cut the roots of the problem before it grows. Which means I'll have to go and pay a visit to the Jia Lie Clan, though after...' His head rose up, showing his eyes glowing in a blazing emerald and red light while silver lightning crackled around his body. Freaking out Jia Lie Ao and his bodyguards in place.

"What the f.u.c.k–!" One of the bodyguards started to curse but stopped immediately afterwards as Xiao Yan's fist connected to his face, breaking the guy's teeth while silver lightning trailed behind him.

The bodyguard took several steps back, his hands had unconsciously dropped his spirit tool, the battle axe, to the ground while he covered his face out of pain. But before he could have a semblance of recovery, and use his spirit power to cover his body for defense, Xiao Yan's attacks didn't let up. He continued on by sucker punching him to the gut, enough that the guy bended back and spilled out saliva. Stepping to the side, he controlled the amount of his strength to exert; he then ended the one sided beat down, by karate chopping the guy's neck.

The bodyguard's eyes rolled up till white remained and he went face flat to the ground, unconscious. All which had occurred within half a breath of time.

"What the-?!" Jia Lie Ao eyes completely went wide in shock and disbelief as he stared to find the young man behind the desk had vanished and reappeared behind him, then started beating down his bodyguard to unconsciousness.

All which, had happened within him seeing Xiao Yan's movements!

His other two bodyguards also had the same expressions, alongside fear, as they stood still, but they reacted afterwards; as their experiences as veteran combatants and instincts screamed at them to move!

They both dropped their spirits and immediately moved to tackle their young master to the ground quickly, earning them an 'oof', as Xiao Yan's right leg, covered in a fiery red flames, just went passed them by a hair!

"Oh?" Xiao Yan muttered in amus.e.m.e.nt. "You two move, not to escape, but to protect your young master? Well, color me impressed."

As the trio lay on the ground, chills run down their spines, they blinked their eyes to noticed something red on each other's bodies.

"Eh?" Jia Lie Ao uttered in confusion as he felt a burning sensation coming from his forehead, like it was momentarily exposed to fire, a small cut of line from the left to right slowly appeared on his forehead, blood then appeared spurting out of it.

"AHHHHHH!!" He screamed out loud as his left hand went and covered the sudden appearance of injury on his forehead While his two bodyguards on top of him stared in confusion and shock.

"M-My head! It hurts! It burns! H-Help! Help me!" Jia Lie Ao cried out begging in pain for the first time in his life.

"Don't worry, it's just a shallow wound." Xiao Yan nonchalantly said.

"H-How?!" One of the bodyguards stuttered while the other immediately pushed themselves out of Jia Lie Ao to help him of his wound. "How were you able to inflict damage on him! We were certain we we're able to save him!"

He then turned to looked at Xiao Yan's shoes. "Most importantly is how though! You are only wearing shoes!"

"Watch." Xiao Yan said with a smirk. As he lightly tapped the upper part of his right shoe, a ching was heard, and then out came a small two-inched long and one-centimeter wide pointed blade from the tip of the shoe.

The two bodyguards and Jia Lie Ao widened their eyes at the trick then the latter's eyes turned bloodshot.

He pointed a finger towards Xiao Yan and said.

"Y-You bastard, using such shameless tricks! Don't you know who I am! I am Jia Lie Ao! The one and only son of Jia Lie Bi! I'm the young master of the Jia Lie Clan! The branch family of one of the seven ancient families; the Shi Clan!" As Jia Lie Ao rumbled out more threats about his background and get treated at the same time by his bodyguards, a frown crept up on Xiao Yan's face.

'The Shi Clan? One of the seven ancient families? What the heck? Why is the Jia Lie Clan affiliated with the Shi Clan? I know for a certain fact that they weren't in my past life. Whatever. I just wanna know if the Xiao Family is one of those seven. But I won't get it from Jia Lie Ao, he'll just blab that I wanted information and Jia Lie Bi would likely guessed that I have some sort of connection with the Xiao Family. Which would either be a good or bad thing. What should I do?' Xiao Yan rubbed his chin in contemplation. Numerous plans going in and out of his head.

"–And Spirit Hall wouldn't let this matter go either! So you better give up now!" Jia Lie Ao glared hard at Xiao Yan; who just now snapped out of his mind.

"I'm sorry what?" Xiao Yan said, completely ignoring what Jia Lie Ao been saying for the last couple of minutes.

"Y-YOU!" Jia Lie Ao's face completely turned red from anger along with his bodyguards. Not only did this bastard humiliated him, but he also destroyed his dignity!

"What? You're complaining?" Xiao Yan's face turned cold, his legs now moving to stand closer to Jia Lie Ao and his two bodyguards. "You come into my establishment, disrespect me and started to threaten my store. What the f.u.c.k did I do to you? Nothing. Now you're saying, you're complaining from the clear need of punishment I gave you; that was due to your own arrogance and bloated ego? Know you're damn place mongrel!"

The trio's faces that were red turned into a darker shade of red. Humiliation, anger and fury swirled inside of them. All of them promised to themselves, they will get revenge!

'Opps, I gotta dial down on my inner Gilgamesh. I don't wanna be killed by my own arrogance after all.' Xiao Yan inwardly winced. All the power and confidence he had gotten, after the numerous hellish training he had gone through to arrive being such a powerhouse, he had sorta let the power gone to his head.

Especially since he has a shiny golden armor to display to taunt his enemies.

"Wait, your establishment?" One of the muttered, realization on his face, staring gaping at the Xiao Yan. The other bodyguard and Jia Lie Ao soon followed on his realization.

The boogeyman, was the young man standing in front of them...

Although he used some sort of self-made spirit ability that lets him use the elemental properties of fire and lightning to coat his attacks, Xiao Yan had not used his spirit and hence haven't released his spirit rings.

The trio faces rapidly turned into sheets of pale white as the one they were searching for, was in front of them this entire time!

What's more, they had even threatened to 'redecorate' his store straight to he's face!

'We're screwed!' They all thought in fear as Xiao Yan looked down on them with a cold and unreadable face. His eyes blazing in a fiery emerald and red light it sent deep fear and dread in their hearts and minds, causing them to freeze in place once more, and even almost pissing themselves!

'T-Those two were right. This man, no, this boogeyman isn't someone to easily mess with!' Jia Lie Ao realized too late.

"W-Wait! We can talk this out-!"

"Tell the Jia Lie Clan, that I'm coming..." Xiao Yan muttered in a deep and ominous tone, completely ignoring the pleas of Jia Lie Ao. He then brought his right hand up, emerald and red flames started to swirled around on his open palm.

The two differing flames swirled around like little snakes before converging into a small compacted ball of flame, silver lightning bolt then appeared crackling around the small ball of emerald and red flames.

Xiao Yan then flexed his fingers and the ball of flames convulsed for a moment before it changed into the shape of a lotus.

Spirit power around Xiao Yan seemed to took a physical manifestation, shaking the surrounding like an earthquake was going on.

Jia Lie Ao and his bodyguards shook their bodies, their eyes diluted and jaws gaping, the colors on their faces turning into a deathly shade of white.

'S-Such dense and heavy spirit power... we're dead!' Jia Lie Ao's life flashed before his eyes. Even with spirit power layering their bodies to protect themselves but they felt like it would be useless, they would be killed by the lotus of death in front of them.

Several moments later, Jia Lie Ao and his trio of bodyguards were kicked out of the store and straight towards the sky; with a small emerald red lotus flame, with silver lightning dancing around it, following behind them.

What followed; was a fireworks display of a huge fist erecting only its middle finger openly with burnt bodies raining down from the sky. They were alive though, thanks to the spirit power that covered their bodies and was just at death's door.

The people near the area stared in both awe and fear, the latter to those with impressive perception, at such a cruel and humiliating punishment given to those poor bastards that turned into burnt charcoal.

"Haa, it's good to be alive." Xiao Yan said with a huge smile on his face as he stood on the ground entrance of his store.

'S-Scary!'

While Xiao Yan was enjoying upon the torture he gave Xiao Zi Yan stared, dumbfounded at the situation in front of her, while shivering in terror behind her brother.

She had just woken up from her refreshing nap, only to find out her brother had been torturing insects.

'I-I shouldn't really pissed off Xiao Yan-gege much later on in the future.' That evening, Zi Yan swore to herself to be a bad girl too much; which saved her from numerous spankings.

"Zi Yan!" Xiao Yan's sudden call freeze Zi Yan in place. Especially since she could smell the bloodl.u.s.t coming out of his body.

"Tonight, you and me are heading out to have some fun!"
