This sudden turn of events caused the Xu Family's rather dashing young master, Xu Yuntian, to furrow his brows. He stared up at Chen Yang, his expression darkening. From his angle, he could only see Chen Yang's profile. But one thing is for sure, he thought, this guy seems to have an exceptionally close relationship with my goddess, Bai Yu.
He then took a slow step toward Chen Yang and said coolly, "Kid, you know who I am, yet you still dare to touch my people. Are you tired of living?"
Chen Yang poured himself another glass of wine and calmly clinked it with Bai Yu's. "So, is it safe to say the Xu and Gong Families are basically emperors here in Nann City?"
"You could say that," Bai Yu nodded, looking completely relaxed. A playful smile touched her lips as she glanced at Xu Yuntian. She had truly suffered enough of the young master's harassnt. Today, he was in for a world of hurt. Besides, if their collusion with foreign enemies is proven, the Xu Family will be finished anyway.
"Drink up!" Yang Hu declared, holding a paratrooper knife in one hand and raising his glass with the other. "A good drink makes for good killing."
Xu Yuntian was speechless for a mont. His face beca so gloomy it looked like it might drip water. He roared in fury, "Who in the hell are you people? How dare you disregard my Xu Family! Believe , you won't live to see tomorrow's sun!"
He was the great young master of the Xu Family, in the pri of his life. Spirited and handso, he was a dragon among n. He wouldn't dare boast elsewhere, but here in Nann City, wasn't he revered wherever he went? Day in and day out, people bowed and scraped before him, speaking with the utmost caution for fear of causing offense. To put it bluntly, in Nann City, his family was the emperor, and he, Xu Yuntian, was the prince, second only to the emperor himself.
Yet today, not only were his n forced to their knees, but he himself—and indeed, the entire Xu Family—was being completely ignored, utterly disrespected. This caused the crudeness at his core to burst through the civilized, gentlemanly facade he always maintained, tearing away his pretense and exposing his true nature.
"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so you've grown used to lording it over everyone?" Chen Yang leaned both arms on the bar and clinked glasses with Yang Hu again. "By the way," he said casually, "what's the na of the head of the Xu Family?"
"My grandfather, Xu Zhenshan." Speaking of his grandfather filled Xu Yuntian with pride. He sneered, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, get on your knees and kowtow to right now. If you make happy, I might just spare your life. Otherwise… do you understand what I'm saying?"
Chen Yang paid him no mind. He took the paratrooper knife from Yang Hu, toying with it for a mont. "What I an is, you will take this knife back to your grandfather and tell him I will co to collect it in person tomorrow." He looked up. "Do you understand?"
Xu Yuntian was stunned. Who the hell is this guy? He wants to take a knife back, only for him to co and get it tomorrow? Heh… Is he declaring war on the entire Xu Family?
It wasn't just Xu Yuntian who was baffled; the other patrons in the bar felt a chill run down their spines. This was Nann City, and to put it bluntly, the Xu Family was the local tyrant. To so brazenly challenge their authority here was to have a death wish.
"This guy must be from out of town. Spouting such nonsense, isn't he afraid of dying in a foreign land?"
"He sounds like he has so skills, but offending Young Master Xu Yuntian is one thing. Provoking the entire Xu Family is just suicidal."
The crowd consisted of locals who were well aware of how terrifying the Xu Family was. As they whispered among themselves, they watched Chen Yang with looks of morbid curiosity.
Chen Yang ignored them all, leisurely playing with the paratrooper knife in his hand.
"Just putting on a show," Xu Yuntian scoffed, then waved his hand. "What are you all standing around for? Get him! Kill this piece of trash and dump his body in Night Quiet Valley."
At his command, the dozen or so subordinates sward forward, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
Chen Yang shook his head, looking utterly bored. With a flick of his fingers, he sent the contents of his glass flying.
WHOOSH.
The pale red wine shot out like a blood-stained arrow from a battlefield.
BOOM!
The man at the very front was pierced straight through. His body was flung into the air and sent flying backward. After passing through the first man, the liquid wine scattered like a burst of shrapnel.
SPLAT.
The man behind him was riddled with holes, collapsing like a kite with its string cut. He crashed hard onto a table before thudding to the floor.
The rest of the n froze in their tracks, not daring to move an inch.
Even Xu Yuntian couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath, his eyes looking as if they might pop out of their sockets. Is this… a Fist Master? And his power… it's beyond anything I could have imagined. This is bad. I can't stay here. I have to leave, now!
"Y-You just wait!" Even as he decided to retreat, Xu Yuntian had to save face. After spitting out the threat, he imdiately turned to leave.
"Did I say you could go?" Chen Yang asked coolly.
Xu Yuntian's rage flared. He spun around and glared viciously at Chen Yang. "You mongrel, give you an inch and you take a mile? Do you really think you have at your rcy?"
SWISH!
With a sweep of his sleeve, Chen Yang sent a fork from the bar flying. It flashed with a cold light as it pierced straight through Xu Yuntian's thigh.
As a spray of blood blood in the air, the great young master of the Xu Family collapsed, landing hard on one knee.
"Crawl over here."
Chen Yang's calm words struck Xu Yuntian's ears like a clap of thunder, sending an icy chill through his entire body.
The huge bar fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared, wide-eyed and petrified.
It wasn't enough to speak so arrogantly about the Xu Family; now he had crippled the young master's leg and was telling him to crawl? This man seed determined to say the most shocking thing possible. If Xu Zhenshan found out about this, the entire Nann City would tremble.
"Do you… do you have any idea what you're doing?" Xu Yuntian roared in humiliation, his hands clutching desperately at his thigh.
Chen Yang grinned. "I told you to crawl over here."
Xu Yuntian was silent.
Then, under dozens of astonished, incredulous gazes, the young master of the Xu Family grit his teeth, prostrated himself on the floor, and began to crawl, using both his hands and feet.
"Kid, you're finished! My Xu Family will not let you get away with this!"
CLANG!
With a flick of his wrist, Chen Yang embedded the paratrooper knife into the floorboards right in front of Xu Yuntian's face. "Your family doesn't have to let go. Take this knife to your grandfather."
"Tomorrow, I will pay him a personal visit."
Xu Yuntian stared at Chen Yang, a tremor of fear rising from deep within his heart. In all his decades of life, he had never t anyone so brazen, so arrogant. It was utterly outrageous.
"Who on earth are you?" Xu Yuntian demanded, sensing that this was far more serious than he had initially thought.
"My surna is Chen." Chen Yang picked up his glass and waved a dismissive hand. "Tell your grandfather that he has one day to gather as many reinforcents as he can. The more, the better."
Xu Yuntian was speechless.
The crowd was speechless.
