BXBX NOVEL Chapter 434-1: Frog in a Well
Chapter 434-1: Frog in a Well
Not good!! Both Liu elders were astonished.
Just at that time, a hand appeared and grabbed Ye Cang’s sword finger. “RuYan’s benefactor, one should spare others when possible. How about we just let the four of them fight?”
“I never wanted to take part, it’s all Elder Liu’s fault for bullying me, I had no choice but to flee. I only managed to grasp an opportunity presented by Mr. Qin and Elder Qin... Actually, take this! Strong Diamond Chop!” Ye Cang showed a repenting expression and suddenly, a ferocious sword slash was executed by his fingers. Liu FengSheng was planning to let Ye Cang go, but discovered that it was all a feint leading to a surprise attack. His chest tightened. This brat was too f**king nefarious! With a flash, the jade flute at his waist shot forth sword qi and the sound of swords colliding was heard.
Elder Liu narrowed his eyes. This brat is good. Whether it’s a superpower or cultivation, to be able to train his body to such a degree that he can take on FengSheng’s sword qi with his bare hands... He’s hidden his strength deeply. So it turns out he’s a swordsman... no, he should at least be at the Heroic Swordsman level or higher.
“Little Ye, you should be more honest...” Before Liu FengSheng could finish speaking, Ye Cang once again unleashed another move, “Lightning Plasma Sword!!”
The sword shot out light a comet and exploded, filling the sky with sword streaks. It enshrouded Liu FengSheng like a net of light. Liu FengSheng raised a brow, “Good move!”
Sword qi rippled out of the jade flute, sweeping away the sword net, but Ye Cang had already disappeared. Second Elder Liu’s scream rang out, “My waist!!”
“Beautifully done!” Qin San watched Ye Cang use three moves and succeed with his surprise attack, making the second elder, whose strength was as deep as the ocean, scream out in pain.
Elder Liu’s heart trembled. Although they were holding back their true strength, using at most about 60%, but to still be able to deal with his sword key and surprise attack the second elder, the brat must be extremely proficient in assassination techniques...
“The banquet is starting!” MistyVeil shouted.
Ye Cang, Qin Zhong, and Mr Qin simultaneously pulled back, leaped out of the ruins, and walked towards the front entrance as if nothing happened. First and Second Elder Liu gnashed their teeth as they watched the three of them acting all cheerfully. They both rubbed their waist. This hatred, we will definitely take revenge!
“That brat is very skilled in martial arts. I don’t know why, but I cannot see through his feints at all...” Second Elder Liu said as he hissed from the pain.
“Speed. He might be the weakest one here, but his speed is the fastest, so he has the initiative. Qin branch family really picked up a treasure. The boy is definitely not just some frog in a well...”
Meanwhile, over by Mr Qin, they were already complementing each other.
“Good move, son-in-law. Tsk tsk, seeing Second Elder Liu bending over in pain feels so good...” Mr Qin said, entirely free of worry.
“It’s nothing, it’s all because Mr Qin’s Black Tortoise Trigram had him locked down...” Ye Cang said with his two hands in his beach shorts pockets and his flip-flops flopping on the ground.
“So refreshing. Did you see how I beat Third Elder Liu until even his mustache was crooked.”
“Of course. Elder Qin is truly unrivalled...” Ye Cang said with a snicker. The response he received was a Heavenly Dragon Arts – Skyfall! He quickly turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared, rushing towards the banquet hall.
“That damn brat. His personality is too hateful...” Those words reminded Elder Qin of his first time meeting Ye Cang, that punch right on his stomach. That time, he was in so much pain that it felt like his intestines were in a knot, yet he had to act like nothing was wrong.
“So fast, son-in-law’s potential is terrifying. Old Man, you didn’t suffer that fist for nothing, his foundation is dreadfully firm. Have you noticed that his every action is mind-numbingly steady? There isn’t even the tiniest bit of deviation. Did you know, Ren Long told me before that, without any superpower or qi, he can tear metal alloys apart like paper with just brute strength...” Mr Qin sighed at Ye Cang’s strange talent report.
“With just brute strength!?” Elder Qin couldn’t keep his calm.
“I think that is the reason why the Dragon Group’s leader personally scouted him. His potential is too terrifying. Before, I was curious why he had A’Xiong and Lele learn from me while he himself didn’t. It turns out that he already has his own style. A style that is just his. Only in that last exchange, we chanced upon a glimpse of his assassination technique, did I realize how much of a freak he is. Ignoring his strength, even the mind-numbingly cruel killing methods he performs without any emotions or guilt, can you believe that he is only 21?”
Elder Qin chose to remain silent. When he himself was 21, he was still happily participating in those martial arts tournaments. Meanwhile that brat already bears the burden of raising his brothers and sisters while also carrying out missions. “Last time when he talked about his interrogation methods, I couldn’t feel any killing intent or malice from him. He has too many mysteries. Just what kind of person did that girl Zhen’er bring back...”
Mr Qin faintly smiled. Together with Elder Qin, they entered the banquet hall.
Ye Cang found Zhang ZhengXiong and the others, and sat with them. Many guests saw Ye Cang’s attire and frowned, but some guests that were often at the Qin family parties were already used to it. There were even some who were afraid of Ye Cang’s group. That incident, they had all seen Ye Cang easily catch a bullet and then easily apprehend the assassin in a state that he would be better off dead... Now, they felt a chill in their hearts when they saw him.
NalanPureSoul’s arrival made the entire banquet hall gasp. His exceptional complection. graceful demeanor. The female guests could only lower their heads or become envious.
NalanPureSoul looked at Ye Cang’s group and directly walked over. Beside him was a 25 year old or so, beautiful woman. She had an egg shaped face, exquisite features, and wore a backless pink flower themed dress. This woman was NalanMoon.
“Brother PureSoul... how is the magic amplification device?” Ye Cang asked with a smile.
“It would be better if it was a bit cheaper...” NalanMoon interrupted unhappily.
“Ignorant woman! If it was cheap, how could it be worthy of Brother PureSoul’s status!” Ye Cang said righteously.
NalanMoon rolled her eyes, unable to refute.
“Many thanks, Brother PaleSnow. It is very useful...” NalanPureSoul couldn’t help smiling.
“It’s nothing. You were the first one I thought of when selling it, since we’re good brothers of the sword fighting association!” Ye Cang once again dragged NalanPureSoul into some sort of wretched group.
NalanPureSoul sighed, “Brother Ye Cang, could you stop bringing up sword fights, crossing swords, or sword fighting associations. This one really d...”
“Don’t have a sword!?” Ye Cang cried out with great alarm, then suddenly understood, “so that’s the case. I was inconsiderate. Next time, we’ll play sword and shield.”
NalanPureSoul shivered all over. Can’t we have a normal conversation! I didn’t even finish speaking!! Hah. Sighing deeply, he said, “Sword and shield is...”
“I’ll use my sword to penetrate your shield, until you can’t take it anymore...”
Ye Cang didn’t even get to finish before NalanPureSoul turned bright red and quickly interrupted him, “Cough cough. Brother PaleSnow, stop teasing me...”
“I’m serious though...” Ye Cang muttered.
“......”
Chapter 434-2: Red Dragoness
Following the start of the feast, Liu FengSheng, as the host, looked towards his guests, “Today, I would like to thank everyone who could make it despite your busy schedules. Previously, my daughter was nearly killed but was saved thanks to a noble man. Today’s banquet is to quell my daughters fright and also to thank this noble man...” Saying that, he looked to Ye Cang and offered a toast, “Little Brother Ye, the Liu Family owes you an immense favor...”
“It was nothing, this is unneeded...” Ye Cang returned the toast indifferently.
“To you, it might only be a slight effort but to me, it was worth a life...” MistyVeil also spoke up seriously, “The Liu family must return favors and enmity!”
Ye Cang sighed, turning his back to her, he whispered, “Go ahead and touch, Aunt Perky. I’ll let you have your revenge...”
“......” MistyVeil immediately felt her legs go weak. Would it kill this bastard to not do these damn things!?
ThornyRose rolled her eyes. Once the damn low life becomes shameless, it’s impossible to guess what he’ll do next. If he dared to say that to me, I would do more than just stab him with my fork and knife! Thinking that, she gripped her fork and knife so tightly that her hands trembled. Revenge for my chrysanthemum, revenge for my chrysanthemum...
All the guests were moved. To receive such a big favor from the Liu family was a very lucky thing. The way they looked at the beach shorts wearing Ye Cang immediately changed, containing envy and admiration. Many who came over to worm their way into being his friend were intercepted by Little Ye Tian with only a few words.
“Today, there are also some honored guests that have come. I hope that no one will be lacking in manners...” Liu FengSheng continued speaking seriously.
The moment those words were spoken, someone said, “Uncle Liu, am I someone that unreasonable?”
A capable looking, short haired girl, wearing a black woman’s suit walked in. Her face was full of heroic spirit. This persona was the dragon group’s boss, Red Dragoness – Long Zhongyi, or as Ye Cang calls her, tomboy. Meanwhile, the baldy beside her was the leader of the 7th group, Ren Long.
Qin Zhong faintly raised his brows. The real monster has come. Head of her house by 18, leader of the Dragon Group by 26, she was said to be the strongest leader the Long family had ever seen. The Long family had always served the Chinese Federation. At least half of the Dragon Group leaders have come from the Long family. They were a low-key, yet unforgettable, family.
Entering after them was Hunting Flame. With a stern expression, he scanned the surroundings. Seeing Ye Cang, he faintly smiled. The Dragoness saw Hunting Flame enter and gave him a light nod. Hunting Flame returned the nod. This wasn’t the first time that the two had met.
The Dragoness looked at Ye Cang idling around in beach shorts, minding his own business. That bastard is messing around again. He’s obviously the one in the 10 Commandments with the strongest voice, yet he always wants to be behind the scenes. The 10 Commandments’ #1’s worst nightmare is this leader of the extremist faction. She thought of the battle where they wiped out the Anos family. If she hadn’t fought with him before, she wouldn’t know how terrifying and reliable the so called Silver Devil was. If possible, she didn’t want him as an enemy.
Everyone became silent. The Red Dragoness had arrived! Some were terrified. Although they didn’t know who Hunting Flame was but the fact that they had exchanged nods meant that he was someone the Dragoness approved of. One after the other, they began to show their curiosity.
“You are one of today’s most honored guest. I don’t dare to offend you...” Liu FengSheng smiled.
“The most special is not me. It’s not like it’s my first time attending Uncle Liu’s banquet. Just do as you wish...” The Dragoness came to Liu FengSheng’s table and sat down. Ren Long also sat. With the Dragoness around, he didn’t dare stand out. He recalled how he was once the leader of an evil cult. Money, beauties, whatever he wanted, he could have. Now, bearing an official position, even if he had a mistress, he wouldn’t even be allowed to touch her. Sighing, he looked at the Dragoness respectfully.
“Then allow me to formally introduce this friend of mine. The 10 Commandments’ #4, Mr Hunting Flame. Thank you very much for coming...” Liu FengSheng’s words sent the quiet crowd into turmoil. The 10 Commandments!? None of them dared to speak. They looked at Hunting Flame somewhat fearfully.
Hunting Flame also came up to the main table.
Everyone looked to the people at the main table, feeling shocked. Dragon Group, 10 Commandments, Liu Family, what were they up to? Could it be related to the attack on the Liu Family’s eldest daughter...
The banquet began.
“I didn’t think you would attend this sort of activity, Hunting Flame...” The Dragoness was somewhat surprised, because Hunting Flame was specialized in assassination and information gathering.
“I’ve been behind the scenes for too long, I figured this was a chance to stand on the stage...” Hunting Flame faintly smiled.
“I just didn’t think you would directly kill Sky Burial. I suppose Pandora...” The Dragoness knew about this information, just not in detail.
“It’s fine, I’m in charge of things related to Pandora now...” Hunting Blade shrugged.
“Then I’m afraid Pandora’s got a headache coming...” The Dragoness couldn’t help smiling. She glanced at the nearby Ye Cang who was eating, drinking, and chatting; then sighed, “Your boss sure is free...”
“Leader has already done too much for Cold Moon and I. Both of us hope that leader can be more free...” Hunting Flame thought of the past and smiled. The Dragoness remained silent. No wonder #1 was so afraid. The power of those three could easily topple his reign. It wasn’t even possible to drive a wedge between them; especially Cold Moon, no one that has tried has ever returned. Now, no one dared to bother her.
“Hearing your words, I want to meet this Silver Devil even more...” Liu FengSheng smiled.
The two of them froze, then both smiled, “You will...”
“As for Pandora’s matters, I hope to discuss it with the Liu family. If you’re interested, we can make arrangements...” Hunting Flame recalled that Pandora also wanted to work with the Liu Family to develop new medicines.
“Then I’ll be imposing on your, Brother Hunting Flame.” Liu FengSheng said fondly. Pandora was also a globally known organization, one of the strongest underground medicine manufacturers, despite originating from poison. However, their medicine development was also first rate. They formed many cooperative relationships with the federation, but rarely associated with family clans. At least they rarely played with the Liu family.
The Dragoness didn’t say anything. Though Pandora had their fair share of contact with the chinese federation but as the Dragon Group, it wasn’t good to dabble in too many things.
The banquet gradually came to an end. That night left the guests witless as they witnessed the Liu family’s connections as one of the capital’s three great families. Ye Cang led everyone back to the Qin branch family’s manor first before coming to the lakeside.
“The Liu family agreed to work together with Pandora...” Hunting Flame slowly walked out of the darkness.
“Then only Pandora’s side is left. Go find Mandala, she probably won’t refuse...” Ye Cang nodded.
“I got it, leader...” Hunting Flame turned. With a flash of flame, he disappeared.
