And that smiling face, no matter how you look at it, was just begging to be punched.
He cupped his fists in greeting and asked, "Friend, may I ask what road you walk?"
"What road?" Lin Tang blinked. "I first ca down Chenghua Avenue, then crossed the Second Immortals Bridge, and then..."
Before he could finish, Sixth Lord Feng barked out an order.
"He's here to make trouble! Hack him to death!"
"Yes, sir!"
His subordinates drew their blades in unison, their movents sharp and fierce. All of them were skilled martial artists who trusted cold weapons far more than guns.
The guides all sneered. They really thought Sixth Lord Feng was easy to fool? This bastard is as good as dead!
Facing the storm of blades coming at him from all directions, Lin Tang's smile vanished. "I was clearly planning to reason with you all. Why must you force my hand?"
He didn't unleash his ultimate move right away, not wanting to scare them off too quickly. He deliberately acted as if he were just a little stronger than them. Reaching out, he snatched a saber and executed the Chaotic Cloak Saber Technique, engaging them in a frenzied exchange of blows. For every slash he took, he gave one back. Soon, blood stained everyone's clothes, making it impossible to tell whose was whose.
The difference was that his opponents fell after a single slash, unable to rise again. Lin Tang, however, took many wounds but remained standing. Though he swayed unsteadily, seemingly on the verge of collapse, he simply refused to fall.
Seeing his n being cut down, Sixth Lord Feng grew enraged. With a swift motion, he drew his own blade and slashed diagonally. His martial arts were clearly a notch higher, and he was confident he would win. But he never imagined that Lin Tang would suddenly accelerate, striking first despite moving second and slitting his throat in an instant.
"Ugh—"
Sixth Lord Feng froze. He slowly looked down before collapsing to the ground, his legs kicking convulsively.
"AHHHH!!"
"He killed Sixth Lord Feng, too?!"
"The absolute audacity! The sheer audacity!"
"Help! Sobody help!"
The terrified guides scrambled away, rolling and crawling as they fled.
The conflict had already attracted a crowd of onlookers, who were watching with the detached amusent of spectators at a monkey show. But after witnessing this turn of events, they were utterly shocked. They couldn't fathom how a single man had defeated an entire group. He took so many wounds and didn't die. Could he be a legendary protagonist from a movie or TV show?!
Lin Tang didn't care what they thought. Dragging his bloody saber, he pushed forward, cutting down anyone he encountered.
He looked so unsteady, as if he could kick the bucket at any second, that everyone he attacked had the sa thought—If I just fight back, I can win!
And then... there was no "and then."
"He's not human! He's a monster! An unkillable monster! Run!"
The n farther back finally learned their lesson. No longer willing to face him head-on, they scattered, fleeing for their lives. But new arrivals, refusing to believe what they heard, surrounded Lin Tang and attacked him frantically, only to die one by one.
The entire Cloud Dream City was in an uproar. Whatever people were doing, they stopped and scattered like a flock of birds.
「In the most luxurious manor in the city.」
The estate boasted pavilions and terraces, artificial mountains, and fountains. There was even a swimming pool in the courtyard.
At this mont, Feng Shaohai, the thirteenth son of the Feng Family's patriarch Feng Baoshang, was hosting a debauched party with a group of people in the swimming pool. These people, both from Central Earth and abroad, were all high-level gangsters with wild and particular tastes. The female slaves brought to them had been carefully selected.
So scread and begged, while others were already numb, silently resigned to their fate.
Feng Shaohai held a whip, but he wasn't pleased. He lashed out wildly, his pale face a mask of debauchery and madness. "Keep crying! Keep screaming! Louder! Learn the essence of the Cherry Blossom Country!"
As it happened, one of the guests was a Yakuza from the Cherry Blossom Country. While in the middle of his "exercise," he grinned and said, "The won from our Cherry Blossom Country certainly scream with more flavor than yours from Central Earth. When you visit our country soday, Lord Shaohai, I will be sure to entertain you passionately."
Feng Shaohai also laughed. "Really? I wonder what your wife's screams sound like. Can I have a taste when the ti cos?"
"Hahaha, Lord Shaohai certainly enjoys his jokes."
"I'm not joking. I'm serious. What, is Fujino reluctant?"
"Well... if anyone else had made such a request, I would certainly refuse. But for you, Lord Shaohai, it's no problem at all! It would be my honor."
The Yakuza's smile was stiff at first, but it quickly beca radiant. It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry, but the Feng Family was a crucial business partner. For the sake of making more money, his wife was expendable.
"Hehe, that's more like it!" Feng Shaohai said with a smug grin. "When I get married, I'll be sure to share my wife with all of you, too."
"Pervert! Disgusting!"
At that mont, a beautiful woman hanging from a beam not far away struggled fiercely, shouting in rage.
"Oh? You've got your energy back so soon?" Feng Shaohai walked over, his gaze roaming over her alluring body.
"What are you looking at? Let tell you, when my father sends people to rescue , I'm going to gouge your eyes out! You're dood for daring to treat like this!" the woman nad Lan Lili said bitterly.
Feng Shaohai burst into wild laughter. This big-breasted, brainless Lan Lili is hilarious. She still doesn't get the situation at all! Does she think her father is so big shot like Guo Jufeng or Xiao Xuanye? She's rely the daughter of a rich rchant... Speaking of which, that adopted daughter of Xiao Xuanye's, Shen-sothing-Ling, is a peerless beauty. Her cries must be a delight to hear. I hear Xiao Xuanye is already crippled. Maybe I should go kidnap his adopted daughter one of these days...
"ROAR!"
A muscular giant over two ters tall was in the middle of a powerful, frenzied session that was the envy of the others. Suddenly, he realized the female slave in front of him had already breathed her last.
He couldn't help but complain, "Mister Feng, your won from Central Earth are fine, but they're just too fragile. I go through three in just one session."
Feng Shaohai looked at him with envy and said carelessly, "I've got plenty in stock. Never mind three, you can have thirty if you want. Soone, bring in a fresh batch!"
"Yes!"
His n imdiately ran to the basent. They dragged out ten or so female slaves and unlocked their shackles. As soon as they got outside and their eyes adjusted to the sunlight, the scene that greeted them made them scream in terror and try to flee.
"You think you can run away?"
The giant, like an eagle snatching a chick, charged forward, grabbed a slave by the head, and lifted her into the air. With his other hand, he ripped her clothes off. Just as he was about to continue, a group of n burst in, panicked. So were even scrambling on the ground, their faces pale as death.
"Not good, not good!" they cried. "Thirteenth Young Lord, run! An unkillable freak broke in! He's already killed many of our brothers and is heading this way!"
"Bastards!" Feng Shaohai's face darkened. "What the hell are you useless wastes good for? You can't even handle one person? Fuck! If you can't cut him down, why don't you use guns?!"
As a young master of the new generation, he had long been frustrated with the older generation's rejection of modern weapons in favor of martial arts and cold steel. Tis had changed. Why cling to outdated rules? That was why he'd started dealing in arms himself. Coincidentally, a new shipnt had arrived today.
He imdiately ordered his n to bring out the firearms. He wanted to see which idiot dared to seek death in Cloud Dream City...
"Excuse , is there a girl nad Li'er here?" Lin Tang's voice sounded as he walked in.
The female slave caught by the giant was trembling, already lost in utter despair. Upon hearing his question, she froze. Could he be here to rescue ?
Lan Lili, the rich rchant's daughter hanging from the rafters, was overjoyed. "I'm here! What took you so long? And why are you alone? What on earth is my father doing??" Her smile instantly collapsed, and she rolled her eyes in fury. She didn't believe for a second that Lin Tang could defeat these desperados alone.
She scolded resentfully, "Are you an idiot? Hurry back and tell my father to send more n!"
Lin Tang had acted on a whim. The deep maternal love of that gray-haired woman he'd t earlier was moving. If her daughter, Li'er, was still alive, saving her while he was here would be a good deed. Naturally, he didn't know Li'er. Hearing Lan Lili's response, he assud she was the one.
So rude and brash? Why should I bother saving her?
Lin Tang shook his head, turned to leave, and said, "Sorry for the disturbance!"
