Seeing Wang Wu storming over, looking like he was about to slaughter soone, Luo Xiu quietly stepped aside. This could save so trouble, he thought.
Luo Yue hurried to Luo Xiu's side, about to ask if he was okay, but she swallowed her words. That's a pointless question. What could possibly happen to the Azure Emperor?
At that mont, Wang Wu had already strode up to the burly man, his expression as grim as it could be. He and Luo Yue had been strolling down the street when they noticed the commotion and ca over to take a look. Who would have thought they'd find their disciples beaten so badly they wouldn't recognize their own mothers?
Wang Wu's anger flared, and he swore to himself, Even if the King of Heaven himself shows up today, I'll get justice for these little bastards!
Wang Wu's physique was far more robust and powerful than the burly man's; he was a full head taller. Faced with Wang Wu's oppressive presence, the burly man's arrogant and domineering aura began to wither.
"You're the one who beat them?" Wang Wu's voice cut through the silence.
The burly man gulped, a wave of fear washing over him. He could sense that Wang Wu's Cultivation Strength was greater than his own.
SLAP!
Without warning, Wang Wu struck the burly man across the face. "I'm asking you a question! Did you beat them or not?!"
The man staggered back several steps, clutching his face and trembling with rage. "You bastard! Do you know who I am? How dare you—"
SLAP!
Before he could finish, Wang Wu closed the distance and struck him again. Following the second slap, he launched the burly man into the sky with a vicious kick.
"Yueyue, check on these little bastards' injuries! I'll be right back!"
With that, Wang Wu shot into the sky in pursuit.
Instantly, flashes of Spirit Light illuminated the sky above Wangjian Town, accompanied by thunderous booms! A few monts later, the burly man crashed back down, shattering a large section of the street. Seeing her companion utterly defeated, the scantily clad woman was frightened out of her wits and quickly fled, disappearing into the crowd.
Shortly after, Wang Wu descended, planting his foot on the burly man's head.
"You dog! Who gave you the right to act so tough? You dare lay a hand on a disciple of my Yue Wu Dojo!" he roared. "If we weren't in Wangjian Town, I'd have slaughtered you today, you bastard!"
He punctuated his words with a vicious kick that sent the man flying. "Now get lost! Next ti I see you, I'll beat you again!"
On the other side of the street, the bruised and swollen dojo disciples were helped to their feet by Luo Yue, their eyes full of gratitude as they gazed at Wang Wu's tall back.
"Sect Leader..."
"Sect Leader my ass!" Wang Wu bellowed, turning on them. "A bunch of little bastards, getting beaten into this pathetic state by a piece of trash like that! You've completely disgraced ! What the hell have I been teaching you? When you're out in the world, you don't start trouble, but you don't run from it either! Just looking at your cowardly faces pisses off!"
Watching Wang Wu curse up a storm, Luo Xiu couldn't help but let a small smile touch his lips. This Wang Wu is quite the character, he thought. Setting everything else aside, at least in this regard, he's a real man.
After Luo Yue carefully tended to the disciples' injuries, the group started for their inn. The entire way there, Wang Wu continued to scold his disciples. After he learned the full story of what had happened, he beca even more furious, looking like he wanted to hit soone.
"You bunch of little wimps! Why are you so damn pathetic?!" he ranted. "Inner Plains People, Outer Plains People—who gives a damn! If you run into this kind of situation again and act so spineless, don't you dare tell anyone you're from the Yue Wu Dojo! We can't afford that kind of embarrassnt! God damn it, what a total disgrace! When we get back, you're all facing the wall to reflect on what you've done!"
As he continued his tirade, Wang Wu suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Xiu, who was talking with Luo Yue behind him. "Hey, pretty boy, shouldn't you be in the Sword Forest? What are you doing here?"
None of your damn business, Luo Xiu thought, about to reply when a series of urgent footsteps sounded from the street ahead. The pedestrians scattered to both sides as if fleeing a plague. Luo Xiu looked up and saw the burly man from before. He'd returned with a large group, clearly looking for trouble.
A quick count revealed at least twenty people, every single one of them in the Dao Jade Realm. This group was clearly influential in Wangjian Town—the local snakes.
"Big bro, it's those bastards!" the burly man yelled, pointing an angry finger at Wang Wu while clutching his swollen face with his other hand.
Seeing the reinforcents, Wang Wu felt his heart sink with despair.
A thin, tall, middle-aged man behind the burly man stroked the small beard on his chin and strolled forward nonchalantly. He sized up Wang Wu for a mont before sneering, "And here I was, wondering what kind of stray cats and dogs were daring to run wild on my turf."
The mont he finished speaking, a violent aura erupted from his body. Behind him, five Dao Jades materialized in The Void.
Wang Wu's heart sank. Dao Jade Fifth Realm? he cursed inwardly. He was only at the Third Realm of Dao Jade. Against a Fifth Realm expert, he'd be just like the burly man—utterly powerless to fight back.
But he showed no sign of fear. He extended an arm to shield Luo Yue and the others, taking a step forward to face the middle-aged man directly.
"I'm the one who did this. I'll take responsibility. If you have a problem, it's with ."
The burly man sidled up to the middle-aged man and mocked Wang Wu. "Hah! A dog from the Outer Plains trying to act all tough?" He grinned viciously. "You were pretty arrogant before, weren't you? Said you'd beat every ti you saw . Well, here I am. Give it a try."
Wang Wu clenched his teeth and said nothing. Tis have certainly changed, he thought bitterly. If I'd known you could call this many people, I would have beaten you and then run straight for the inn!
More and more onlookers gathered on the street, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Wang Wu's group.
"Looks like these dogs from the Outer Plains are in real trouble today."
"Those are all Cheng Haonan's n. Who in Wangjian Town would dare to ss with them?"
"Well, well!" the middle-aged man suddenly exclaid, his eyes locking onto Luo Yue, his gaze filled with undisguised lust. "I didn't notice before. There's quite a beautiful woman here."
He turned back to Wang Wu, a aningful smirk on his face. "Tell you what... leave the girl, and I might consider letting the rest of you little fish go."
Hearing this, Wang Wu's expression darkened. He let out a cold sneer. "Friend, now you're going too far."
SLAP!
The word had barely left his lips when the middle-aged man appeared before him like a ghost, slapping him hard across the face. With such speed, Wang Wu couldn't react at all.
"You dog! And you think beating my brother-in-law into this state *isn't* going too far?"
Wang Wu's face twisted with rage. He grinned, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared at the middle-aged man. "If you want to touch my woman, you'll have to step over my corpse to do it!"
"You dog! If you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!"
BOOM!
The middle-aged man's kick sent Wang Wu flying like a cannonball, and he crashed through the wall of a nearby house.
Back where they stood, Luo Yue grabbed Luo Xiu's arm, her eyes pleading as she communicated through her Divine Sense, "Your Majesty... please save Awu."
Luo Xiu nodded gently and stepped forward. "Leave it to ."
Just then, the woman beside the burly man pointed angrily at Luo Xiu. "Husband, that little bastard insulted earlier! You have to cripple him today!"
The burly man blinked, then a ferocious smile spread across his face as he looked at Luo Xiu. "You know, I almost forgot about that. You little mongrel, get on your knees and accept your death!"
