Chapter 447: Heavy Damage!_1

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Qiao only let out a cold laugh and then stopped talking.

The elderly man took a deep look at Qiao, then turned his head to look at Yin Tian, "Yin Tian, due to you, my family is in discord. Although this isn’t particularly your fault, you should still take some responsibility, shouldn’t you?"

"Your child can’t appreciate favours and constantly seeks trouble with me. Instead of finding the reason within them, you turn it around and want to blame me, how is that reasonable?" Yin Tian replied mercilessly.

"I am a man of principle. I take the punishment for my mistakes and accept the consequences for the troubles I cause. But, don’t you try to pin just any blame on me," Yin Tian continued, uncompromising.

The elder did not speak but slightly narrowed his eyes, staring at Yin Tian before him.

"Dad, originally, the Qiao Family cast me out because I had no talent for martial arts. Yet now, all of the family’s living expenses are provided by me, Qiao Beiyun."

"I don’t ask for much. Just have all those who harbor hostility towards my brothers apologize to them and we’ll call it even."

"What?"

"Have me apologize to him? Does he deserve that?"

"Just a young whelp, does he really think he’s that capable? Deserving of our apologies?"

"Impossible!"

The members of the Qiao Family were indignant and flatly refused Qiao’s proposal.

Qiao, too indifferent to engage with them, merely looked at the elder, "What do you say?"

"Fine, but I see this young lad also has some skills. Let him spar with me." The elder nodded slowly, speaking calmly.

"Coming to the Qiao Family and causing such a disturbance, if we let him leave without consequence, where would that leave the face of our Qiao Family?" The elder paused, his voice measured.

Qiao frowned as he looked toward Yin Tian, unsure of what Yin Tian was planning.

After a moment of contemplation, Yin Tian nodded, "Fine, as long as they apologize and promise to stop troubling me henceforth, I don’t mind the spar. But bear in mind, if you get injured because of your age, you can’t blame me."

"Don’t worry, I’m not so petty as to hold a grudge against a youngster like you." The elder nodded slowly.

He then turned to the Qiao Family members, "Apologize."

"What? Dad, you really want us to apologize to him?"

"Dad, what on earth do you mean?" The crowd was extremely reluctant.

"I said, apologize," the elder’s voice grew heavier.

The Qiao Family members shuddered, and finally turned their heads to face Yin Tian.

"We’re sorry."

As the first person bowed to Yin Tian and apologized, the others, no matter how reluctantly, had to bow and apologize to him as well.

Yin Tian crossed his arms and calmly accepted everyone’s apologies, a smile on his face, "Good, remember not to trouble me again."

All faces from the Qiao family turned pale blue, and they remained silent.

"Now that you’ve apologized, come over here and let’s see your mettle," the elder said to Yin Tian at a leisurely pace.

Yin Tian nodded and stepped forward, standing before the old man, "You’re the elder, so you make the first move."

"Young man, truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth." The elder raised his hand; it wasn’t very fast, but he pressed a palm towards Yin Tian’s chest.

To the onlookers, it seemed as though afterimages appeared!

Yin Tian’s eyes sharpened.

This elder was an expert!

And a very high-level one at that!

Just from this single move, Yin Tian knew he would capsize in the gutter if he didn’t give his all!

He sank his breath into his dantian, clenched his right fist, and then without hesitation, he struck out!

Boom!

Fist met palm.

Yin Tian’s body shuddered, and he staggered back two steps.

His complexion turned suddenly pale, and Qiao hurried over to Yin Tian’s side, looking at him worriedly, "Brother, how are you? Are you okay?"

Yin Tian didn’t speak, merely waved his hand to indicate he was fine.

"Youth... is to be feared..."

The elder stood in place, but then suddenly shook violently and spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, collapsing backward.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

All the Qiao Family members surrounded him, terrified.

Yin Tian, however, took a deep breath and started walking towards the exit of the Qiao residence.

Seeing this, Qiao quickly followed, supporting Yin Tian’s arm.

He noticed that Yin Tian’s forehead had already begun to sweat profusely.

Once outside the Qiao estate, Yin Tian’s face suddenly turned a flushed red, and with a single cough, he spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood!

This scene took Qiao aback.

He looked at Yin Tian in disbelief, not expecting his injury to be so severe.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to the hospital..." Qiao began, intending to take Yin Tian to the hospital.

But Yin Tian shook his head and said, "No... the hospital won’t be of any use for my condition... please, Qiao, just take me back to where I’m staying..."

Qiao was startled and immediately helped Yin Tian into his car, then drove towards the South District.

Yin Tian lay in the car, his expression pained.

Sir Qiao truly had some skill!

To have grievously injured him with just one strike!

This grievous injury was not merely physical but because Sir Qiao’s strike had caused Yin Tian’s previously stable Vital Energy to begin leaking out again!

Yin Tian knew that Sir Qiao must have seen the state of his body.

That’s why, at the risk of severe injury to himself, he chose such a method to inflict severe harm!
