A Typical Reincarnation

Chapter 30 - Killing

Just as Xu Qi was getting the group's emotions stirred up, an extremely unpleasant voice sounded out.

"Say, Young Master. When are you going to impart to us this super cultivation method?"

Xu Qi looked toward the source of the voice, as did everyone else. It was at the very back of the crowd. A seven- or eight-year-old boy stood with his arms crossed, looking at Xu Qi arrogantly.

Lin Hu recognized the owner of the voice, and immediately called out angrily, "Stop your insolent behaviour, Luo Xiao! I've warned you many times before, and you're still throwing your young-master-esque tantrum."

"Do you even have a brain, Lin Hu? This Young Master Xu was up against guards from his Clan. How would you know whether there were any tricks in play here?" Luo Xiao continued on arrogantly. "Don't forget, he's only six years old, even younger than we are. How could he possibly be a Spirit realm expert? Why don't you use your brains a little?!"

"Luo Xiao, you..." Lin Hu was rendered speechless by what Luo Xiao just said.

"You're Luo Xiao, right?" Xu Qi asked the arrogant Luo Xiao blankly. Killing intent was already seeping through his eyes.

"That's right, I'm Luo Xiao, little young master. It's fine for us to be your playmates, since you're the one with money and power. However, there's no reason to..." Right as Luo Xiao shook his head while speaking, Xu Qi made his move.

The latter was feeling immense anger right now. He'd thought of the possibility of a thorn appearing amongst them. Though, if such a thorn were among the Xu Clan guards, Xu Qi wouldn't have had the intent to kill them off. Alas, it was one of his carefully gathered orphans. Not only was he ungrateful towards Xu Clan, he was obviously disrespecting his master. Such people would only be a source of trouble when he grew up. Furthermore, he had challenged Xu Qi's authority in front of everyone else. This was what caused killing intent to spring up in his mind; this person had to die.

Xu Qi vanished from sight, then reappeared almost instantly in front of Luo Xiao. The crowd could only sense a streak of cold light flash before Luo Xiao, before he stopped talking and his eyes widened in terror.

Immediately after, they saw a silhouette flash. Xu Qi had returned to his original position, with his back to the crowd.

As for Luo Xiao, he slowly collapsed on his back with his mouth wide open under the gaze of everyone. Right as his body was about to fall to the ground, his head separated from his body and rolled over to the side. Fresh blood poured from his neck, and a foul bloody odor spread through the hall in just a short while.

Although the Xu Clan's guardsmen hadn't thought Xu Qi would actually kill, they were men who lived by the blade, after all. They weren't affected in the least by such moments. However, the same couldn't be said for the remaining twenty-five orphans.

Qian Yin's and Qian Yun's faces paled a little at the sight, but they were still somewhat calm. However, a little girl next to them wasn't as collected. Her legs were trembling like jelly, her eyes full of horror. Just as she was about to scream out reflexively, a small hand covered her mouth.

Among the other children, some of them weeped silently, while some others turned around, afraid to look at the scene. None of them uttered a single sound.

It was dead quiet in the hall. Everyone was looking at Xu Qi's small back. Though, in the case of Chen Yong and the guards, they were looking at Xu Qi in a new light. He was strong, and ruthless on top of that, despite his tender age. What a monster, they thought. However, they were all crude men. All they knew was to be loyal to Xu Clan. They didn't have many thoughts about their young master having such a frame of mind.
