Chapter 1456: This Time My Brother's in Trouble Again, Right

Tuoba Leiting didn't even have a chance to flee before being struck dead on the spot.

This single blow sent Xia Yu's points soaring by fifty thousand, all of which belonged to Xia Yu himself; as for the Tuoba clan's property, he had no interest in it, and it wouldn't be too late to come back and take stock after completing the quest.

"Boom~~"

One kick smashed open the tent; outside was already a scene of utter devastation, with many Tuoba clan soldiers lying on the ground, while on the other side, Tuoba Yang was bound, fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth—clearly having been tortured.

"Stop! Don't hit them anymore!"

Watching Xia Yu charge at those soldiers with his blade, Tuoba Rou shouted loudly; she wanted to save her younger brother, but didn't know what to do.

"Whoosh~~"

Xia Yu cut down one with a single slash, then punched another flying, and finally locked his gaze on the remaining four.

These four were clearly the elite fighting force of the garrison Tuoba Leiting had left behind, each one at the early stage of Wu Zong.

"Bam bam bam~~"

After a flurry of blade-light and sword-shadows, all four were defeated by Xia Yu with a single punch each, then tossed into the Qiankun Ring.

Looking at the corpses sprawled haphazardly across the ground, Tuoba Rou's eyes went wide; she hadn't expected Xia Yu to be this powerful, though she still hadn't fully recovered from the shock.

"You—who exactly are you?"

Tuoba Rou asked, her voice trembling.

"Me? You should call me Xia Yu."

"Xia Yu? Could it be Xia Yu, the younger brother of Xia Kingdom's Emperor Xia Jie!"

Tuoba Rou exclaimed in surprise. Although Xia Yu had recently destroyed the Western Yan Kingdom, she didn't know the details, and Xia Yu couldn't be bothered to explain now, because he was even hungrier.

"Mm, I am indeed the Emperor of Xia Kingdom. Now, can you tell me who you are?"

Xia Yu asked, looking at Tuoba Rou; he didn't mind saving this woman along the way, because her appearance perfectly matched the template of a virtuous wife and good mother in his mind.

Hearing this, Tuoba Rou showed a troubled expression. Seeing this, Xia Yu immediately waved his hand.

"No need to say it, I won't force you. But your brother Tuoba Yang needs help now. You can choose to save him, but I guarantee he absolutely won't survive."

"I'll save him."

Tuoba Rou said through gritted teeth.

Xia Yu nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Tuoba Yang was brought out by Tuoba Rou.

"Brother~~ wuu wuu wuu, brother, wake up~~"

Seeing her brother on the brink of death, Tuoba Rou's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Sis~~ it hurts~~"

Tuoba Yang's voice was somewhat hoarse; after all, he was only a fourteen-year-old child, unable to bear such a stimulus, and the fact that he could still hold on was already no small feat.
