Chapter 2267: The Reason Li Wen Protects Huang Xiaolong (2/2)

Or was it because Zheng Yongjia scolded Huang Xiaolong as filthy rubbish?

“Eminent Elder Li Wen, you, this…?” Zheng Yongjia didn’t know how to react. He doubted even whether Li Wen had accidentally said the wrong thing, or scolded the wrong person?

“Zheng Yongjia, you insulted His Highness Holy Prince Huang Xiaolong in public. After the stage battle ends, you have to apologize to His Highness Holy Prince Huang Xiaolong!” Li Wen stated with a cold face, and the usual amiable smile when facing Zheng Yongjia was nowhere to be seen.

Zheng Yongjia bellowed in anger after hearing that Li Wen wanted him to apologize to Huang Xiaolong, “What? You want me to apologize to that rubbish?! Impossible!”

Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, and those supporting the Holy Alliance frowned, feeling that Li Wen had exaggerated the matter. Zheng Yongjia had merely scolded Huang Xiaolong with a few words. That was all, but Li Wen actually wanted Zheng Yongjia to apologize to Huang Xiaolong!

Another miserable scream came from the stage and broke the atmosphere outside. At this time, on the battle stage, Huang Xiaolong had added another hard stomp on Huang Zhouping’s face, flattening Huang Zhouping’s face to the stage floor in the literal sense.

Huang Xiaolong glanced coldly at Zheng Yongjia from the corner of his eye, while repeating in a mocking tone, “ I shouldn’t dare to harm Huang Zhouping?! So what if I do? This is just the beginning!” As he spoke, a suction force from his palm pulled Huang Zhouping up by the head, while his other hand clenched into a fist and hit Huang Zhouping in the chest, directly penetrating Huang Zhouping’s heart.

Huang Zhouping’s screams reverberated in the air, reaching the mountain peaks surrounding the holy arena.

Zheng Yongjia’s killing intent soared seeing Huang Xiaolong disregarding his words, and mocked him in return. On top of that, Eminent Elder Li Wen’s rebuke from earlier, demanding him to apologize to a waste like Huang Xiaolong was infuriating.

Not only Zheng Yongjia, but even Jiang Tian and other Holy Alliance’s Holy Princes had murder written all over their faces.

Huang Xiaolong’s second punch landed, shattering Huang Zhouping’s internal organs to pieces.

Another miserable scream escaped Huang Zhouping’s lips.

Xu Jun frowned with displeasure at Huang Xiaolong’s actions and spoke sternly, “This Huang Xiaolong, is he trying to kill a Holy Prince so blatantly?! If we do not punish him accordingly, won’t the Holy Gate’s rules be reduced to mere decorations?”

Guo Qirong promptly supported, “That’s right! Even if this is a holy arena battle, Huang Xiaolong cannot be allowed to do as he pleases!”

Yang Jingzhi was boiling with rage when he heard that. It was so obvious this Xu Jun and Guo Qirong were biased towards the Holy Alliance and Huang Zhouping. This life and death battle in the arena was initiated by Huang Zhouping himself, and the conditions were agreed by both sides.

Not to mention, according to the holy arena’s rules, Huang Xiaolong could kill Huang Zhouping on the stage without any repercussions.

Yet Xu Jun and Guo Qirong actually said it out loud that Huang Xiaolong should be sanctioned?

While Yang Jingzhi was suppressing his anger, Li Wen snapped at Xu Jun and Guo Qirong, “Are the two of you qualified to speak about the Holy Gate’s rules? According to the Holy Gate’s rules, since Huang Zhouping willingly signed a life and death agreement with Huang Xiaolong prior to the battle, he deserves it even if Huang Xiaolong kills him on the stage! This is the rule our Holy Gate’s Patriarch has set. Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, do the two of you want to revise the Holy Gate’s rules? Who gave you two the right to do so?”

Being doubted by Li Wen whether they were qualified to talk about Holy Gate’s rules, not only Xu Jun and Guo Qirong were stunned, but others were also stupefied by Li Wen’s strong reaction.

Although Li Wen was the head of the thirteen Eminent Elders, he had never spoken to anyone in such a stern tone. Yet he chided Xu Jun and Guo Qirong in public because of Huang Xiaolong!

At this point, anyone could see there was something going on.

Li Wen scolded Zheng Yongjia and called him a b*stard to defend Huang Xiaolong!

He also scolded Eminent Elder Xu Jun and Guo Qirong in public for Huang Xiaolong’s sake!

In all honesty, even though everyone had realized that Huang Xiaolong possessed better talents than Huang Zhouping at this point, it wasn’t a reason enough for Li Wen to be so protective of him, right?

Suddenly, Yang Jingzhi recalled Li Wen’s question regarding Huang Xiaolong’s second test as to whether the results really were Mysterious Dragon Saint Godhead, Mad Dragon Saint Bloodline, and True Dragon Saint Physique?!

Li Wen’s excited expression flashed before Yang Jingzhi’s eyes, and his mind went boom as a thought struck him!

A violent shudder ran down his spine. That’s it, that must be it. There was no other possibility!

Yang Jingzhi was trembling all over with excitement. Only that reason would make Li Wen be this protective of Huang Xiaolong!
