Zuo Yang brandished his sharp knife, pointing it directly at ng Da. “Since you used your cultivation to bully my junior brother, don’t bla for using mine to do the sa..”
With his blade drawn, no trace of Zuo Yang’s usual honest and simple appearance remained. His eyes swept over ng Da repeatedly, with a trace of bloodthirst.
ng Da’s scalp tingled as his heart lurched violently. Oh no, he’s strong! Zuo Yang is too strong!
In truth, whether it was the ng family or the other families, they all knew of Zuo Yang’s existence. Yet they overlooked the chef who had never made a move and was solely focused on cooking. Who could have imagined that Zuo Yang would be so formidable?!
ng Da was sweating profusely, already showing signs of backing down. “Z-Zuo Yang, how about we each take a step back from today’s matter?”
Zuo Yang shook his head. “No. What would’ve happened if I hadn’t co? Would you have agreed if my junior brother suggested the sa? Besides—”
As his voice fell, he disappeared before everyone’s eyes. When he reappeared, he was already right in front of ng Da. The bloodthirst in his eyes grew heavier. “Since we’re setting a precedent, how can we not see a bit of blood?”
With a wave of his large hand, that sharp knife landed on ng Da’s vital point. Clearly, Zuo Yang was killing a person, but everyone seed to have an illusion that he was killing a demonic beast. He was indeed treating ng Da like one.
ng Da suddenly roared in fury, “Y-you’re going too far!”
His aura completely erupted. The surrounding onlookers were directly sent flying far away. Those with lower cultivation even spat blood, sustaining serious injuries.
Zuo Yang shook his head. “The ones bullying others have always been you!”
He slashed down. In his hand, what was originally just an ordinary bone-cleaving knife now seed like an incredible divine weapon. Flowing with the montum of clouds and water, it faintly carried an inexplicable divine charm.
Even Gu Han beca enthralled watching. Although their paths differed, there was sothing he could learn from it.
“Senior Brother’s saber technique has reached the pinnacle of perfection!” he murmured to himself.
In the blink of an eye, a soft sound was heard, and the overwhelmingly powerful aura instantly vanished without a trace.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Only the sound of liquid dripping remained.
When everyone’s gaze fell back on the area, they were completely dumbstruck. ng Da stood there dumbly. From his left shoulder, a hideous wound extended all the way to his right waist. Zuo Yang had nearly sliced him in two with just a single slash. Blood gushed out like a fountain, yet ng Da seed unaware.
With eyes full of incomprehension, he asked with difficulty, “W-what saber technique is this?”
Zuo Yang glanced at him, slowly sheathing his sharp knife. “I don’t know. A saber technique for slaughtering beasts, what na could it possibly have?”
ng Da staggered and fell backward.
ng You and ng Qian, full of terror, hurriedly supported him. “Uncle!”
ng Da wasn’t dead, but even if he could be saved, he was completely crippled.
Zuo Yang glanced at ng Da, sowhat dissatisfied. “As expected, I really don’t know how to fight. That slash was a bit off!”
Everyone exchanged glances. He nearly sliced a person in half with one slash, and he calls that not knowing how to fight? This chef is a bit too cocky!
Still, thinking of Zuo Yang’s strength, they understood he had the right to be cocky. You probably couldn’t find another chef this formidable in the world!
Upon seeing Gu Han still frowning in deep thought, Zuo Yang smiled. “Junior Brother, did you gain anything?”
Gu Han sighed. “Senior Brother, that slash of yours just now was perfect. How exactly did you achieve that?”
Zuo Yang shook his head. “Perfect? I don’t think so! It was quite ordinary, actually. It’s just that I’ve swung the knife too many tis, and practice makes perfect! Dealing with ordinary people is enough, but if your cultivation were the sa as mine, the one losing would be .”
Gu Han beca even more curious. “Senior Brother, what exactly is your cultivation level?”
Zuo Yang waved his hand dismissively. “It’s not high. It’s just the third stage of the Earthly Tribulation realm.”
Everyone sucked in a cold breath upon hearing this. That isn’t called high? Should we just go die then?!
For a mont, they had the sa thought Gu Han once had. Even a chef is this powerful?
Of course, they didn’t know the inside story. In fact, the one with the highest cultivation level in Fengwu Court right now was this very chef.
Gu Han had a strange expression. “Senior Brother, why have I never seen you fly through the air?”
He was a bit curious. This was also the main reason he had misjudged Zuo Yang’s cultivation.
Zuo Yang was silent for a mont before saying, “I like walking.”
“Huh...?”
“It’s purely personal preference, like cooking. I always feel that flying through the air is a bit unsteady.”
Gu Han was speechless. This answer is indeed very him!
Zuo Yang waved his hand. Then, he pointed at Yang Fei, who had been unconscious in Gu Han’s hand for a while now. “Enough. Let’s not talk about this. Hand that guy over to .”
Gu Han was sowhat curious. “What do you need him for?”
Zuo Yang said matter-of-factly, “To reason with them! Although my mind isn’t on these petty sches, I know the nature of those people all too well. So old fellows have absolutely no sha. What they’re best at is bullying the young with their seniority. I have to have a good talk with them. Junior Brother, since you’ve beco part of Fengwu Court, it’s my responsibility to protect you properly.”
Gu Han suddenly fell silent. He increasingly felt that Zuo Yang’s attitude toward him had changed. Although Zuo Yang had been attentive to him before, it was only superficial, with more intention to coax. Now, he could sense that Zuo Yang’s words ca straight from the heart.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Zuo Yang patted his shoulder. “Junior Brother, Ah Sha told about your matters. To have co this far is truly not easy. If you’re willing, Fengwu Court can be your ho from now on.”
Hearing this word, Gu Han’s heart ached. Ho?
The next mont, he bowed, solemnly paying his respects to Zuo Yang. “I greet you as my senior brother!”
Zuo Yang laughed, then returned the gesture. “Junior Brother, you’re too polite!”
He understood that at this mont, Gu Han was willingly staying in Fengwu Court.
Still, Gu Han couldn’t shake his concern. “Senior Brother, although your cultivation level is high, the Yang family can stand alongside the Murong family as one of the three great families. Their foundation must be extraordinary. You going there—”
Zuo Yang laughed heartily. “Don’t worry! When it cos to foundation, Fengwu Court has never feared anyone. Even if I offered my head to that old thing, he wouldn’t dare do anything to . Junior Brother, don’t look at Fengwu Court the way it is now. Actually, it’s just Senior Sister and I being low-key. It doesn’t an we’re lacking in strength.”
Gu Han was taken aback. Low-key? Shouldn’t the biggest reason be your obsession with cooking?
