The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1013: Chapter 1012: Courting Death

Even Huo Tian, who always remains composed, now has an ugly expression on his face.

The world of Tuo Shi is something he has only recently heard of; it is a powerful realm that ordinary people cannot possibly contend with. And right now, this Yang Junming standing before them is one of its experts, a figure on the ranks of masters, surely possessing great strength.

With Su Changfeng’s current skills, it’s hard to contend against Yang Junming.

”Why hasn’t that elder shown up yet? Could he be colluding with them? Are they all trying to put Chang Feng to death?” Ye Qingtian asked Shen Hanxue with a worried expression.

Shen Hanxue pondered for a moment and shook her head before speaking: ”I think this possibility is very low, or even nonexistent. If that elder wanted to harm Chang Feng, he wouldn’t need to go to such lengths. Moreover, he surely intends to become Ye Sunian’s foster grandfather. If he wanted Chang Feng dead, he wouldn’t do all this.”

Huo Tian, seeing the worried expression on Ye Qingtian’s face, shared his thoughts: ”You needn’t be too worried. I also think it makes sense. More importantly, I’m suspicious that the elder who met Chang Feng earlier may be the one intending to take him as a disciple—the legendary Elder Wu.”

Upon hearing the mention of Elder Wu, Ye Qingtian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Even though he has never met Mr. Wu, he has heard about some of his titles. In Tuo Shi, his position is quite significant. He has already declared his intention to take Su Changfeng as his direct disciple. If he has indeed come to Jiang City, he would surely protect Chang Feng, ensuring his safety. Otherwise, it would damage his reputation, after all, he personally oversees Jiang City. If someone kills his direct disciple right under his nose, that would be a massive disgrace.

”Let’s hope so,” Ye Qingtian comforted himself. Although Su Changfeng has changed a lot and considerably increased his power compared to before, Ye Qingtian, who is well-versed in the ways of the world, understands that the greater the capability, the greater the future risks and responsibilities become. Possible futures look increasingly dangerous.

Ye Qingtian feels somewhat distressed because he knows well that if Su Changfeng enters Tuo Shi, he will grow farther from the secular world, and his ability to help him in the future will diminish. Moreover, he feels for Su Changfeng because now he has a wife and daughter, and naturally, it’s challenging to care for them.

In the Hilton Hotel, many French sycamore trees have been planted, which Liu Junyang had previously bought at a high price from outside and carefully cultivated. Now they are lush with foliage, reaching as tall as more than ten meters.

Amidst these dense French sycamore trees, an elder is lying on the branches, looking very carefree. If discovered by others, they’d surely be sweating for him, urging him to come down quickly, since a fall from this height would be deadly. But this elder is no ordinary person, and at this moment, he’s relaxing, gazing at the center of the lake.

”Kid, let me witness your skills today. If you can exchange a few moves with Yang Junming, you passed my test as an old man, so don’t let me down,” Mr. Wu murmured to himself.

In Elder Wu’s view, although Su Changfeng is much stronger than ordinary folks, Yang Junming is a former expert from Tuo Shi, and the two are not on the same level. Hence, if Su Changfeng can withstand three moves from Yang Junming, that would be quite commendable.

At this moment, in the center of the lake, Yang Junming solemnly said to Su Changfeng, ”Taking your life today is truly forced upon me, as I must protect my daughter. But rest assured, once I kill you, I won’t harm your family in the slightest. In fact, while I live, I’ll do all I can to protect your family’s lives!”

”Hearing you speak so, you seem to be quite principled. If it weren’t for Guan Shan, perhaps we could be friends,” Su Changfeng said with a smile. Despite facing such a skilled opponent, Su Changfeng’s gaze held no trace of fear, but rather, a sense of fervor.

Yang Junming nodded slightly, evidently quite pleased with Su Changfeng, saying, ”Honestly, I think you’re a decent person, but our fate dictates that we must fight. It’s either you die or I live.”

”Alright, if that’s the case, let’s start. I’ve long wanted to see the power of a Tuo Shi expert,” Su Changfeng said, immediately soaring into the sky. Despite the formidable opponent, he showed not an ounce of fear.

Watching from the side, Elder Wu furrowed his brows as Su Changfeng suddenly made his move, concernedly saying, ”This rash boy, facing an expert like Yang Junming, why did he initiate the attack first? Doesn’t he worry about exposing too many flaws, allowing Yang Junming to figure him out?”

In Elder Wu’s mind, Su Changfeng should not attack but defend, using defense as offense to exchange a few moves with Yang Junming. If he attacks like this, the battle may end abruptly.

Elder Wu’s concern is not unfounded, given the vast disparity in skill between them. Su Changfeng’s proactive attack seems like he’s delivering himself right into Yang Junming’s hands.

Yang Junming sneered, saying, ”Hmph, seeking your own doom.”

Despite Su Changfeng’s preemptive strike, Yang Junming was several times faster than him, so much so that the spectators only blinked and missed what happened. In the next moment, Su Changfeng was hurled back, retreating with blood gushing from his mouth.

”Damn, this guy is too powerful. Brother Changfeng is definitely no match for him,” Wang Tianhu watched anxiously, clenching his fists, wanting desperately to rush to the lake center and help. But he knew going there would be futile.

Zhu Lie, watching the scene tensely, understood that this might be the toughest opponent Su Changfeng has faced thus far. The mere meeting of blows leaves Su Changfeng retreating, and critically, he’s now injured.

”Wang Tianhu, if you went, how confident are you to confront him?” Zhu Lie suddenly asked Wang Tianhu, ready to make further plans.

Wang Tianhu shook his head in disappointment; the gap between him and Su Changfeng has widened, and facing someone Su Changfeng can’t defeat, he knows he stands no chance.

”To be honest, if I were in his place, I’d probably be dead by now,” Wang Tianhu said helplessly.

Hearing Wang Tianhu say that, Zhu Lie stomped his feet in frustration.
