Never would I have expected to have this kind of encounters on my second day in this world, just as I was trying to recall the name of that doctor, I actually saw him flying over from the room upstairs and crashing into a table close to one we were sitting on .
But looking at how badly his clothes and how weak he appeared to be, I was certain that this guy was beaten by someone, just as I wanted to go to him or even ask about what exactly was going on, I heard a few murmurs from around me .
Those murmurs allowed me to understand what was going on quite clearly, it was a debt being collected by the second young master of the Gu Family, hearing that Fa Shi owed those guys money, I didn't come forward to help thinking that things didn't seem as simple as that .
Not to mention Fa Shi current situation looking weird, but just the involvement of that Gu Family allowed me to understand that there might be a bigger issue here, but whether my guess was right or not, currently I had no strength to do anything, so wait to recover first before taking actions .
I decided to do as the rest of the people here and see how will this situation unfold, just as the girls were trying to change this seat, I saw a few burley men following behind a guy that looked quite young, almost similar to my age, he had a deep dark eyes and he was quite good looking .
I was able to guess the strength of these group of people, simply by looking at them and the experience I had acquired before coming back to the city helped me greatly in that, the strongest among these guys was a middle aged man who had thick eyebrows and long mustach .
That guy was at the 7th Layer of Flesh Tempering, the young guy they were accompanying was at the 6th Layer of Flesh Tempering, but something was weird regarding his aura, it seemed a more or less unstable and had a faint medicinal herbs smell coming out from him .
I didn't quite understand what was going on with him nor did I really care much about him, my current focus right now was on the guy Fa Shi, that finally had woken up after being injured, he directly took a few needles and injected them into his body, the bleeding was stopped, but the cuts and bruises were not showing any progress .
I didn't know what exactly was going on until they finally began confronting one another, Fa Shi first dusted the debris from his clothes then said :
Gu Xan, what's the meaning of this ? .
That guy's name was Gu Xan, I wonder whether was he closely related to Gu Xing, the guy who was being called just snorted coldly and said :
Why are you acting like a righteous person, you haven't paid your debt, so of course I came to collect it from your body today .
You, you, you are framing, I had already paid what I owe you last month and even said in front of many people present that I would never borrow money from you again, isn't that right ? .
Fa Shi's question was aimed at a few faces that seemed to know about this kind of thing indeed, but all of them just lowered their heads and said nothing to confirm or deny, it seemed that the Gu Family is more domineering than even the name of our Dojo, why was that the case exactly .
You guys..... .
Hahaha, Fa Shi, what is your face worth now, even dared to lie and tried to frame other people with your lying, today I will completely cripple you .
The guy surnamed Gu began walking leisurely towards Fa Shi, the latter stood to his ground and said loudly :
Owner Fi Lu, I believe that things here demand your intervention, you had also witnessed that incident .
Fa Shi was calling the owner of this restaurant to come and testify for him, but the guy he called just sent a flying fan towards Fa Shi, the latter barely evaded it and then the voice of this restaurant owner sounded from upstairs, not giving Fa Shi face at all by saying :
Fi Lu :
Whatever that had happened in the past, I'm not clear about, present is all that matters to me, you young fellows can fight among yourself as you liked, I'm only an old businessman, so there is no need for you Fa Shi to pull me into the mud with you .
The last part of this guy was said with a threatening tone, this restaurant owner seemed to have already been bought by the Gu Family, this situation is getting more and more complicated, but what exactly was these guys after, if humiliating Fa Shi was all they wanted, they had already been did that, so what were they trying to do now .
Gu Xan :
Hahaha, Fa Shi, oh Fa Shi, where are your so called witnesses, everyone here is thinking of you as a presumptuous lier, what are you going to do now, are you paying or are you handing your body as a collateral .
You, you, sigh, fine I will pay .
Even though it was humiliating, Fa Shi did make the choice that could secure him a safe way out of here, but just as this guy reached for his pouch, he was surprised to find out that the money inside it was gone and was suddenly shocked .
Gu Xan :
Looking at your expression, are you looking for this ? .
Gu Xan directly extended his hand towards Fa Shi and opened it and in the palm of his hand laid a yellow cloth pouch that seem to make clanging sounds every time the content inside shook, after that pouch appeared Fa Shi was completely in disbelief, it didn't take a genius to guess that the pouch in Gu Xan's hands was his Fa Shi pouch .
You, you, how did you get my pouch ? .
Gu Xan :
Yours, what yours, is your name written on it or something, I found on the floor of the Two Moons, so it belong to the owner of the establishment of course, here senior Fu Lu, a little gift from junior .
You, you, puff, good, very good, you two dare to join hands in conspiring against me, good, good, I will be sure to relay this matter to the Dojo Master later .
Gu Xan :
Later, what later, you won't have a later nor will your Dojo, you both will have no future from here on out, not to mention you, even the first genius of the Dojo was crippled and about to die, but do you see that busy Master of his do anything to help, trash .
" What did you say ? .
I planned to saw in which direction this play was going, but hearing what happened to senior brother Bai Ming and what that guy was saying about Master, I find myself obligated to respond and I said this while standing up and was heading to join them, but I was being held back by the few girls that were sitting with me on the table .
They were telling me not create troubles, afraid that I might be not aware of the consequences of my actions and worried that I either might get injured or worse perhaps implicating all of them on this .
Gu Xan :
Where did usless person jumped out from, kill him for me .
As those guys were dashing towards me and about to attack, a few hidden needles shot out directly aiming for their vital parts, if not for them to react quickly after being warned by the owner of this restaurant Fi Lu, they might have gotten heavily injured .
I found the light shining on me flickering slightly and saw that Fa Shi appeared in front of me as if shielding me with his body and saying :
It's you, what are you doing here and why are you even interfering in other people business, get out of here this instant .
He was trying to help me out even when his situation was more dire than me, so I noted that helping him was not a loss, I just shook my head at him and continued to look at the guy from before and said :
" What did this barking dog just said about our Dojo and Senior Brother, is it really true ? .
Who is a dog, your whole family are dogs, my brother is Gu Xing, the first alchemy genius in the city and a man recruited into one of the 3 Grand Martial Academies in the capital, you dare to insult me, kill .
You won't lay a finger on him under my watch .
Under your watch, hey Boa'er it's your time to shine, Fa Shi didn't you wonder how I was able to get this money pouch from you, it's all thanks to your favorite concubine Boa'er, hahaha, come here into my arms .
After this was said, the scene changed, I felt as if I heard the sound of glass being shattered, I believed that this might be senior brother's heart breaking apart, then after a girl that could only be described as a seductress leaning into the arms of Gu Xan, the Senior Brother of mine finally couldn't bear it any longer and directly spat a mouthful of blood and fall down suddenly while muttering :
Boa'er, you, you..... .
I hope brother Shi won't hold a grudge against me, I just liked brother Xan more that's all .
After she said this, I together with many of the people present couldn't help but snicker at this, those guys were too shameless and too hatful, Brother Shi was now sitting down on the floor looking at the two having fun teasing each other in front of him with a desperation look on his eyes .
It seem that women indeed were troubles, just as I was thinking like this, I saw that Gu Xan, the brother of Gu Xing which wasn't really surprising as I had already expected something like this before .
That guy turned towards me with intriguing and a curious look in his eyes, there was also the flames of desire that made me understand that he wasn't only looking at me, but at the girls behind me as well, then he said with a laughter :
May I know the name of this Senior Brother and whether you would like to join my side as well, whatever you want, I will give it to you, how about you guys accompany us to have fun upstairs .
I was momentarily stunned at how fast this person can change his face and attitude, it seem as if he was merely turning a book page, I was about to tell the girls to let go of me and leave here, but I felt a sudden gush of air appear around me .
My mental energy had finally recovered a wisp of it and I was finally released from the shackles on my body, I no longer felt as weak as before nor as angry as before, in fact I felt quite calm as now that my strength was back, I really felt everything was now under my control .
" Oh, you are asking about my name, I'm Tian Long, Solid Rock Fist Dojo's Core Disciple and Master Chen new Close Disciple .
After I said this, I felt the hands that were pulling me backwards stop instantly and the still bustling place quietened down instantly after this was said, I even heard the sound of chair breaking coming from upstairs, so I understood that I had clearly shocked the people here with this kind of revelation .
I looked at the guy's face in front of me looking quite ashen and gritting his teeth and decided to say :
" So you dog should have known your mistake, I will tell you this, I will count to 3, if I didn't see you bowing down on the floor and apologizing, I will cripple all of you today .
" That include you too, Fi Lu is your name right, well I today will uproot this restaurant of yours myself, if you didn't do the same thing .
Fi Lu :
Little brother, your issue is with Young Master Gu, why include a small man trying to make a living in this ? .
" Oh, you really think that our Dojo's face is so thin that even a small character like you can get away after insulting it, my words were said and my judgment have been issued, the fate of your restaurant completely depend on you now .
Gu Xan :
Haha, junior brother sure is jesting, my words were indeed wrong just now, how about ending things..... .
" One .
Gu Xan :
Brother Tian is a noble person and should give other people a second chance, I will compensate you for my actions earlier... .
" Two .
Gu Xan :
Don't go too far with your bullying, my brother is an Alchemy Genius and I will have a bright future, it's better not create an enmity that can't be solved, the road to Martial Arts is... .
Fi Lu :
Brother Tian, I can offer you a good compensation, if that what you want, I will even... .
" Three, well time is up, I gave all of you a toast, but you refused to drink it and now I will let you drink the cup of bitterness and despair .
Gu Xan, Fi Lu :
I guess there is nothing more that we can say or do, let's fight then .
Fi Lu finally came down and I was able to see that he was a scrawny looking middle aged man with a mustache and goatee, he was holding another fan in hand but now, he stored it in his pouch and his face had a sense of ridicule on it, it seem that he really didn't take my words seriously in the slightest .
I directly released my killing intent and said :
" From today's onward there would be no Two Moons in this city, any of you who don't want to get implicated by what is about to happen, I suggest you get out of here .
Without even a need to say anything, most of the people at the sight of fighting took their food and drinks without paying for them and ran the guards over and out of this place .
The girls were still reluctant to leave, but I merely nodded at them and they gave me a fee cheers of encouragement before finally getting out too .
Gu Xan :
You can still take your words back and we will deal with them as if they were never said .
" Ha, chickening already even without fighting .
Fi Lu :
It seem that this brother misunderstood, we are only a bit worried about the Master behind you, but since you were the one coming here to ask for troubles, he can no longer hold us accountable, it's you who came seeking death .
The other guy merely nodded at those words and directly unsheathed his sword, Fa Lu too held a sword in hand and stood in the distance from me, the first to come attacking were the guards with him .
Using Crouching Tiger, I directly jumped inside their formation and without them even reacting, I began my onslaught, one infused with Blood Qi punch for each one of them, then I continued to walk past them, they flew into different direction breaking chairs, tables, antiques, everything that would make Fi Lu's heart bleed to repair .
That's why he became so anger and directly accused me of seeking death, then directly began his own attack, I didn't need to use my enhanced senses before, but against someone at the peak of Flesh Tempering stage, I used it instantly .
He came at me with a sword, even though his sword skill looked quite refined, I felt that there was no subtle meaning behind it, that guy was imitating sword moves, not even grasping the edge of their meaning, in short his understanding of the sword skill he was using was beyond shallow .
So evading one swing of his sword aimed at my heart by sidestepping, I responded to him with a Thunderclap Fist to his chest, I felt that my hand clashed with something metal beneath his clothes, so the attack managed to force him backwards a few steps, but that was enough to frighten him .
Fi Lu :
YoungMaster Gu, this guy I'm afraid to say that he had already reached the consummation of the Flesh Tempering stage, I hope you can lend me a hand dealing with him .
Gu Xan simply nodded, but I saw that there was a deep lingering fear in his eyes and saw a crafty expression appear on his face, this made me certain of his next move, so I said :
" I told you, today I will honor my words and cripple you, so don't think of escaping .
Saying this, I withdraw a normal sword from my pouch and directly used my Mental Energy to launch the sword towards that guy arm, the sword in the shocked eyes of the two people directly tore through the air and severed the arm if Gu Xan, then after a moment of silence, one cry of agony and one of clear horror sounded from each of the two .
The one who got his hand severed was in complete pain and the other was so shocked but a word escaped from his mouth and was spoken with complete horor, he said :
You are a Spiritualist, ask lord to have mercy .
Gu Xan directly lost conscious due to the intense stimulation and the loss of his blood, the other was still kowtowing in front of me while headbutting his head on the floor so hard that he injured himself .
Looking at him acting like a madman like this, I decided that since the matter is already settled, there was no need to kill that guy, so I turned over and wanted to check on my senior brother Fa .
But just as I turned, the guy kowtowing directly withdraw a few needles from his pocket and directly throw them at me I shook my head and caught them midair much to his shock, I then motioned for the sword to come back and it directly pierced through the back of Fi Lu and the sword plunged into his back and my mental energy were unable to support controlling the sword any longer .
My brother is the leader of the Green Snake Gang, he wouldn't let you... .
..... .
