“Who are you people? How dare you block my path, you’re asking for death!”
“Get lost, quickly!”
Xu Ziheng looked at the three of them blocking the doorway and immediately felt that they were not here with good intentions.
Ye Longlin pointed at Mu Hanqi and said, “I’m here to take my person.”
Xu Ziheng’s expression changed, and he smiled sinisterly, “What ‘your person’? She’s my person, she’s my woman!”
“Kid, do you know the severe consequences of messing with my woman in the province of Nan? I don’t mind telling you, let alone women I’ve played with, even women I’ve worn out are not to be coveted by people like you.
And now you dare to come to me to snatch my woman, who gave you the guts?”
“Go up, kill them directly, same old method.”
Several bodyguards grinned and attacked Ye Longlin. Yuan Gang stepped forward to intervene, grabbed one of them by the neck, and instantly snapped it. He then hurled the more than a hundred pounds of body out. The man in the distance was hit directly, his head hitting the ground, and he immediately fainted.
Then, with two kicks, he sent the other two flying, their fates unknown.
Ye Longlin glanced at Mu Hanqi and said softly, “Come here.”
Mu Hanqi stood before Ye Longlin, wronged. Ye Longlin reached out a hand, pinched her chin, and looked at the finger marks on her face. A surge of internal energy flowed from his fingertips, and the bruises on her face quickly dissipated.
“Does it hurt?” Ye Longlin asked softly, lowering his voice.
Mu Hanqi’s eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she enjoyed the sensation of his fingers touching her chin. “As long as you’re here, it doesn’t hurt.”
Mu Hanqi’s chin was very soft, and her skin was smooth. Touching it was soft and very comfortable.
Ye Longlin said gently, “Which hand hit you?”
Throughout the entire process, they seemed to have forgotten Xu Ziheng, whose face was also extremely somber.
In this province of Nan, he had never been so humiliated.
Mu Hanqi tilted her small head and thought for a moment, saying dazedly, “I forgot.”
Ye Longlin turned his head, and Yuan Gang instantly understood. He lifted his foot, and a dagger hidden in his boot instantly sprang out. He grabbed the dagger’s handle, and the next moment, it was plunged into Xu Ziheng’s shoulder.
“Ah—”
Xu Ziheng cried out in pain, but it wasn’t over. The dagger in Yuan Gang’s hand pierced again along the connection between his arm and shoulder blade, hard enough to sever one of his arms!
Ye Longlin’s large hand covered Mu Hanqi’s eyes, blocking her view.
Mu Hanqi, drunk, giggled and grabbed Ye Longlin’s clothes, pressing them against his palm.
His palm was large and rough, but it carried a reassuring aura, as if as long as he was there, nothing needed to be worried about. He was like a large tree that could shelter from all storms.
Yuan Gang, seeing this, thoughtfully took a wet towel from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, preventing him from crying out.
The dagger was plunged into the other shoulder again, also dislocating his shoulder!
Xu Ziheng’s face contorted with pain, cold sweat streaming down his face, and his entire body convulsed from the intense agony.
Xu Ziheng’s ferocious face was like that of a demon. He wanted to say something but couldn’t, only letting out muffled groans.
“Take these two hands and send them to Xu Jiajun as a welcoming gift.”
Yuan Gang nodded, “Understood.”
Before leaving, Yuan Gang kicked awake four security guards. When they woke up and saw Xu Ziheng’s screams, their legs turned to jelly.
“Quickly send the young master to the hospital, and tell the King about what happened here!”
……
Imperial Dragon Villa.
Xu Dengui was sixty years old this year and had retired from the martial world’s struggles. He was no longer interested in such matters.
For years, he had stayed in the villa, drinking tea, tending to flowers, and fishing.
He hadn’t left the Imperial Dragon Villa for over a year. He just wanted to live out the rest of his days peacefully.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something’s happened!”
A voice shattered the tranquility. A young man around forty years old ran over, panting, holding a box in his hand.
“So rash, what kind of conduct is this?”
The old man, sitting in the courtyard with scissors trimming flowers and plants, was the legendary figure of the province of Nan, King Xu, Xu Jiajun.
Who would have thought that such a kindly-looking old man was actually the ruthless underground king who killed without batting an eye?
The middle-aged man stood beside him with a grim expression, taking a deep breath.
“Young Master’s arms have been chopped off, and the other party has sent them to us.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged man felt the atmosphere around him instantly freeze. The scissors in the old man’s hand slowly lowered, and his cloudy eyes gradually became filled with murderous intent.
“Open it!”
As the box was opened, a bloody stench shot straight to the heavens.
Looking at a birthmark on the arm, Xu Jiajun’s murderous intent surged.
“Who did it!”
The middle-aged man swallowed and said with difficulty, “The other party said, to prepare yourself to die, and he will come to take your… dog life in three days.”
Xu Jiajun laughed furiously, “Hahaha, good, very good! It’s been many years since anyone dared to provoke me like this, very good!”
“I haven’t concerned myself with worldly affairs for so many years, it seems many people have forgotten me! I had the title of Ten Thousand Butcher back in the day!”
“Issue the Dragon Slaying Order, gather at Dragon Slaying Mountain Villa in three days!”
The Dragon Slaying Order was issued, and the entire province of Nan was alerted. Many people began heading to Dragon Slaying Mountain Villa to wait.
“Investigate and find out why this old madman has gone mad!”
“This madman has been out of touch with the world for years. Now that he’s suddenly issued a Dragon Slaying Order, something must have happened.”
“This is interesting. This Ye Longlin actually chopped off the old geezer’s grandson’s arms. Doesn’t he know the old geezer dotes on this grandson? He’s stirred up trouble now.”
Upon hearing this news, many people in the province of Nan were curious about who Ye Longlin was. Of course, what concerned them even more was the final outcome!
If the underground king won, it would mean the old man still had many years to live.
If the underground king lost, it would only prove that Ye Longlin was a formidable outsider.
Either way, the news was unfavorable to the province of Nan.
While the outside world was in turmoil, Ye Longlin had already sat on a small stool, continuing to fish.
Xuan Bird’s specialty was indeed pickled cabbage fish, which was a unique dish of Long Pavilion.
“Boss, Xu Jiajun has issued a Dragon Slaying Order and is gathering at Dragon Slaying Mountain Villa. Should we summon some of Long Pavilion’s elites?”
Yuan Gang said playfully, a smile appearing on the corner of his lips.
Ye Longlin glanced at him and asked calmly, “Can’t you beat them?”
Yuan Gang smiled sheepishly. Ye Longlin continued, “Investigate a woman named Zhao Qian, she should be in her forties now. She used to live in a small courtyard in the southern part of the city, at address… No. 18 Kaihe Street.”
