Chapter 160 You Are Worthy Enough
Wang Lingyu buried his face in his arms, feeling wronged.”What’s the point of beating up a hundred weaklings like me? Why don’t you beat up those who bullied me instead?”
Wang Hanshan still couldn’t suppress his anger, he sat down in his sandalwood chair and said, “That small carriage shop had at most thirty people, and their leader was only at Level 1 of Qi-refining. How were they tough to handle? Who exactly were those two Taoists and that young man?”
“They definitely weren’t anyone significant! They dressed like beggars! Also, they were only using one peach wood sword, not even one spiritual sword! The thought of those people just makes me angry!” answered Wang Lingyu still covering his face.
Wang Hanshan slammed the armrest of his chair. Had he slammed any harder, it would have shattered to pieces. If Wang Lingyu’s mother never spoiled him till he became such a good-for-nothing, he wouldn’t be saying such stupid things right now.
“The Jianghu of Pinglu hasn’t been peaceful lately because an unknown power has infiltrated it. You’d better not cause any more trouble out there!” Having said this, Wang Hanshan stopped and suddenly frowned, “Could Wang Lingyu have encountered the same people who fought Junior Priestess at Jimo Villa?”
That was highly likely. Cultivators at high levels of Qi-refining were rare masters. It would be impossible for a number of factions to appear together out of nowhere.
With that thought, Wang Hanshan asked in all seriousness, “Forget about those two Taoists for now. Was the man who beat up Wang Lingjiang in one stroke a young man in a black robe? Do you remember what he looked like? Any distinctive features? What were his mannerisms?”
Wang Hanshan recalled Mu Qingliu’s description of the battle at Jimo Villa. In order for all powers in the Jianghu of Pinglu to help the Penglai sect track the man’s whereabouts, Mu Qingliu described details of the man’s features to Wang Hanshan.
According to Mu Qingliu’s description, he was a fair, elegant young man with the look of a scholar and the aura of a tough warrior. With such distinctive features, he should be able to draw people’s attention rather easily.
Every time Wang Lingyu thought of that young man in the black robe, he would feel extremely uneasy and disgusted. He was humiliated by him, after all.
He replied with hatred, “That guy was just ugly! He had a face as black as coal and as long as a horse’s! He was also cross-eyed, had a low nose and short limbs! I could tell from his messy beard that he never cared about his appearance. Once you see his face, I guarantee you will lose your appetite! Except for his skill which was higher than mine, I’m far better than he is in every way!”
Wang Hanshan was speechless at his response.
His description was the exact opposite of what the Junior Priestess had told him. He never thought there would be someone so ugly yet so strong...
It was said that a father knows his son best. After glancing at Wang Lingyu, however, he suddenly felt that the man was maybe not as ugly as he described. After all, Wang Lingyu would never praised his enemies.
“Save your complaints, we still have people being held hostage by them. Having been humiliated by them, there’s no way we are going to let it pass peacefully. Later, I will send Wang Tong and people from Qingshui Villa to go with you. You’ll also have my two bodyguards, they are both level-five Qi-refining masters. I’m sure things won’t go wrong this time.”
Wang Lingyu was really glad to hear that, so he said, “Father, with your bodyguards and all the masters in Qingshui Villa, I’m sure we will kill those bastards in no time! I’m just afraid that it would take too much time to find them...”
Before Wang Lingyu finished speaking, there were two abrupt knocks on the door in the yard, followed by a casual voice saying lazily, “I’m right outside the door, hope that saved you some trouble.”
Wang Lingyu and Wang Hanshan tensed instantly and rushed out the door to find a young man in black robe and a dark-skinned sturdy man coming behind.
Seeing the two guards lying unconscious on the floor, Wang Hanshan’s face turned grave and Wang Lingyu gasped in fear. Wang Lingyu could not close his jaws for a long time, and only stuttered to Wang Hanshan after a while, “Father, are your two guards down?”
Wang Hanshan almost couldn’t stop himself from slapping Wang Lingyu. “Do you think I’m blind? Do I need you to tell me?”
Those two guards were the level-five Qi-refining masters whom Wang Hanshan was about to send to Wang Lingyu. They were supposed to be the top masters who would teach a painful lesson to those who bullied Wang Lingyu. Now, however, it looks like that they can’t even get up after two heavy hits.
When Wang Lingyu finally shifted his eyes from the two unconscious guards to Li Ye, his face turned pale and he subconsciously stepped back. Pointing at Li Ye, Wang Lingyu tried to open his mouth to speak but failed to utter even a complete sentence, “You... It’s you...”
Wang Hanshan noticed Li Ye as well. To him, he looked like a handsome scholar with elegance and poise. When he stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, he didn’t appear weak. Instead, he exuded confidence yet was never showy of his great strength. His presence was imposing and impossible to be ignored, giving the impression of a suppressive power. In short, he was an outstanding opponent in both appearance and strength.
After hearing Wang Lingyu’s words, and seeing his look of surprise, Wang Hanshan knew that this young man in the black robe was the one who bullied Wang Lingyu.
He was furious enough to kill. “That’s your description? Long black face? Crossed eyes? Low nose? Hideous? This guy? Are you blind? If we start the search based on your absurd description, we’ll never find him!”
Seeing their shocked expressions, Li Ye couldn’t help smiling as he asked, “May I know why you two seem so surprised to see me?”
Gaining back his composure, Wang Lingyu’s expression became fierce again as he shouted, “How dare you come to us after beating up our men! I bet you can’t wait to die! Wang Tong, get all your men to kill this guy and feed him to the dogs!”
No one responded despite his repeated shouting. The yard was exceptionally quiet, like a barren land with no sign of life.
Wang Lingyu’s face turned gradually pale, and his hands started to quiver.
Li Ye waited until he gave up shouting, then said with a gentle smile, “Everyone in this villa was punished to stand still, and they probably won’t be able to move for quite a while. No one will come to your rescue however loud you shout.”
“How can this be?” Wang Lingyu took a few steps back in panic and tripped over the stone step in the corridor. However stupid he was, at this moment, even he began to realize the gravity of the situation.
No longer paying attention to Wang Lingyu, Li Ye turned to Wang Hanshan and asked in all seriousness, “General Wang, are you now going to threaten me with your power and status in Pinglu army?”
Wang Hanshan’s face had also paled in terror once he saw the dire situation he was in. The person who could fight with Junior Priestess was drawn to them by his own son, that was the most embarrassing and shameful moment of his life! Now that he had no army next to him, and he had lost many masters in the villa, what could he do?
“I am not as stupid as my son!” he said through gritted teeth.
Li Ye almost laughed out loud on hearing that. “You are really the worst team mate I’ve ever seen. Is it really appropriate to call your son stupid?”
“General Wang, why aren’t you glad to see me today? Shall we chat over some tea?” said Li Ye casually.
Wang Hanshan tightened his grip. As a soldier in the army, he definitely could not bear such humiliation. He glared at Li Ye and asked, “Who are you? Why do you wish to see me?”
No longer smiling, Li Ye said calmly, “To kill someone.”
He was dashing towards Wang Hanshan before the last words were out of his mouth, leaving behind a cloud of dust stirred up from the speed and impact of his movement.
But even before the cloud of dus formed, his fist was already in contact with Wang Hanshan’s face!
There was nothing special about the punch, it didn’t create a hurricane or trigger deafening sounds of thunder. However, his fist was shrouded in a thin layer of blue light.
That was the display of excellent control over Spiritual Qi!
Wang Hanshan had been on guard since he saw Li Ye, because he knew he would attack sooner or later. However, when the time really came, he still had no time to dodge! All he could do was to hunch forward, accumulate Spiritual Qi for defence and cross his arms in front of his chest.
When the fist reached the front of Wang Hanshan’s face, its speed suddenly increased and Wang Hanshan’s arms were hit with tremendous impact!
Wang Hanshan instantly felt both his arms breaking with a snap, as if they were hit by a mountain. His arms could no longer gather any strength to protect his head and simply dangled over his shoulders sloppily. Meanwhile, Li Ye’s fist was still full of momentum and power. After breaking Wang Hanshan’s defence, Li Ye’s punch landed heavily on his face!
That punch deformed half of Wang Hanshan’s face. Teeth and blood flew out of his mouth as his body floated in the air. His mind was a sheet of white!
That wasn’t the end. Li Ye reached behind his back and hit Wang Hanshan hard with his elbow!
With a painful shriek, Wang Hanshan spit a mouthful of blood and hit the floor like a rock!
After only one attack, Wang Hanshan lost all mobility and strength. He couldn’t get up from the floor no matter how hard he struggled.
Li Ye squatted in front of Wang Hanshan, then pulled up his head by his hair.
After witnessing the fight before him, Wang Lingyu was scared out of his wits and wet his pants. His father had always been an invincible figure in his eyes, yet today he was beaten up like a dead fish. If he was the one being beaten, he would suffer even more, as he was only at the realm of Warrior Master! Within seconds, he was gripped by fear and felt a chill all over his body.
Li Ye probably smelled something odd, because he turned and glanced at Wang Lingyu coldly. Seeing him in that miserable state made him frown.
Meeting Li Ye’s cold eyes, Wang Lingyu got more terrified and kept crawling backwards. Even his voice turned into a piercing shriek. “No... Don’t kill me, please! Please! Have mercy!!” screamed Wang Lingyu.
Li Ye was even more disgusted by Wang Lingyu’s shameful reaction and said indifferently, “You are not worthy of dying in my hands.”
He then looked at Wang Hanshan and laughed scornfully. He said, “But you’re worthy enough.”
Bam! The ground was shaken by the immense impact of his punch. A giant, deep pit appeared on the once smooth and flat floor, everything was blurred as dust flew in the air!
