Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Break His Legs

This was the first time Su Yang had used the Purple Lightning Divine Thunder, and he was also shocked by its effect.

If one Purple Lightning Divine Thunder was so powerful, what would happen if several exploded at the same time? How strong would the power be then?

After a long while, the light inside the room finally began to fade, and everyone could finally open their eyes. When they looked at Su Yang again, all that remained in their eyes was reverence.

How could Master Fang be so formidable, when compared to Su Yang, who was like a Heavenly God?

Master Fang had even knelt on the ground, with a trembling voice begging for mercy, ”Immortal Master, please spare my life, Immortal Master, please spare my life. I, a lowly mortal, failed to recognize the greatness before me, I won’t dare to do it again, never again!”

Su Yang slowly extended his hand, and the wandering sparks in the air returned to his hand, gradually coalescing into a small ball of electricity. This was the remaining power of the Purple Lightning Divine Thunder, which was enough to end Master Fang’s life.

”Speak, what exactly is going on!” Su Yang’s expression was calm, revealing no hints of his mood.

How could Master Fang not comply? He quickly said, ”Blinded by greed, I wanted to take control of Nanluo City, so I set up such a scheme in advance. This Straw Woven Doll, is a vicious spell I cultivated in my early years, called the Seven-Arrow Nailhead Book. By writing a person’s name and date of birth on it, one can absorb a person’s soul, which led to Hou Xiangde ending up like this.”

”Then I used my means to make Hou Xiaozhi come to me for help. After I acted to alleviate Hou Xiangde’s illness, I naturally gained considerable attention within the Hou Family. With that, I was able to establish my presence in Nanluo City and have a great influence here.”

The members of the Hou Family suddenly understood what had happened. Hou Xiaozhi was the first to step forward, angrily exclaiming, ”You vile wretch, how dare you treat my father like this!”

Master Fang, looking at Su Yang, said in a trembling voice, ”I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again, never again!”

”What use is all this nonsense now? If I let you leave Nanluo City alive, then I’m not Hou Xiaozhi!” Hou Xiaozhi shouted loudly.

Su Yang glanced at Hou Xiaozhi and said coldly, ”Be careful, Hou Xiaozhi. He’s only been thwarted by me in his spellcraft, but his power remains intact. If he wanted to kill you, one finger would be enough!”

Hou Xiaozhi, scared, shuddered and immediately turned cowardly, retreating several steps as he turned his ingratiating smile towards Su Yang, ”Master Su... you’re here. No matter how powerful this man surnamed Fang is, he has to be obedient in front of you, Master Su...”

Su Yang gave a cold smile, glancing sideways at Hou Xiaozhi, ”Is Ling Zi under your command?”

Hou Xiaozhi’s face changed dramatically. He had turned off his phone when he came to the Hou Family’s home tonight, so he had no idea what had happened with Ling Zi. He had thought that Ling Zi hadn’t found Su Yang yet, but it seemed that was not the case.

After a moment of silence, Hou Xiaozhi immediately bowed deeply and said in a trembling voice, ”I am terribly sorry, Master Su, for I was blind to recognize you, I beg... I beg you for mercy...”

”I won’t kill you!” Su Yang said calmly, ”But from now on, the name Hou Xiaozhi must never appear in Nanluo City again!”

”What?” Hou Xiaozhi was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he became enraged, ”What do you mean, Su Yang? I’ve already apologized, what more do you want?”

”This is Nanluo City, the territory of my Hou Family. What can you do to me? I gave you respect by calling you Master Su. Without respect, what are you to me?”

”No matter how powerful you are, what can you do? With one phone call, I could have you thrown in jail, make you eat a bullet, do you f*cking understand!”

Su Yang scoffed and got up to leave, ”Since you are all so capable, then you can save Hou Xiangde yourselves!”

”Master Su, Master Su...”

The people in the room immediately became anxious; Hou Xiangde was the pillar of the Hou Family. If anything happened to Hou Xiangde, it would spell doom for the Hou Family!

”Master Su...” Finally breaking his silence, Hou Xiaolian spoke up, ”I promise you, from this day forward, there will be no mention of the name Hou Xiaozhi in Nanluo City!”

”Big brother?!” Hou Xiaozhi panicked, as Hou Xiaolian held a very high status within the Hou Family. His words meant that Hou Xiaozhi was doomed.

”Shut up!” Hou Xiaolian glared at him angrily, ”You invited disaster upon our family and nearly killed our father, and I haven’t even settled accounts with you for that. Now you’ve offended Master Su as well. Master Su didn’t take your life, and that’s already showing mercy. What more do you want?”

”Starting now, all the businesses under your name will be handed over to Shilin to manage. You go back to our old home in South Mountain, and without my command, you are not to set foot in Nanluo City ever again!”

Hou Xiaozhi turned pale and said with a trembling voice, ”Big brother, how can you treat me like this? Could our Nanluo Hou Family really be afraid of this milk-faced boy?”

Hou Xiaolian’s face turned icy, ”Shut up and get out now!”

”Wait a minute...” Su Yang suddenly spoke up, ”I’ve changed my mind. I want you to break both of his legs and then let him crawl out!”

Hou Xiaolian’s complexion changed dramatically as he anxiously said, ”This... this...”

”Can’t do it?” Su Yang sneered, ”If you can’t do it, naturally someone else can. Master Fang, break both of his legs, and I’ll spare your life!”

”At your command!” Almost jumping to his feet, Master Fang pointed with his right hand, and a black streak shot straight towards Hou Xiaozhi’s legs. Everyone heard a crisp snapping sound as both of Hou Xiaozhi’s legs were shattered, and he fell to the ground screaming in agony.

”What are you doing!” Hou Xiaolian roared furiously, waving his hand, and instantly a group of people charged in from outside, heading straight for Master Fang.

Master Fang didn’t dare to act recklessly and turned his head to look at Su Yang.

Su Yang said calmly, ”Use whatever abilities you have. Let’s see if you’re worthy of being kept around!”

Upon hearing this, Master Fang couldn’t help but feel exhilarated. His life was saved, and if he could follow Su Yang from now on, his strength would undoubtedly improve further. This was marvelous news indeed!

”Behold my Hundred Ghosts Soul Devouring!” Master Fang roared and opened a clay pot. The room’s lights went out immediately as a black mist wafted out of the pot, full of innumerable skeleton heads, accompanied by a series of chilling ghostly wails, charging fiercely at the men who had rushed in.

These men were the Hou Family’s bodyguards, all with formidable strength, some even armed with guns. However, facing these skeleton heads, they had no resistance at all, all were knocked down to the ground, even failing to draw their guns in time.

”Enough,” Su Yang called out coldly, and Master Fang immediately slapped the clay pot, sucking back in all the black mist and skeleton heads. The people on the ground were trembling all over, wailing continuously, without any visible injuries, yet unable to get up.

”Are you convinced now?” Su Yang asked coldly.

Hou Xiaolian’s face was ashen. The events that had just unfolded made it clear to him that these magicians were not something they could contend with. A single Master Fang was able to kill them with ease, let alone Su Yang, to whom Master Fang bowed his head in submission!

”Master Su, about what just happened, we were wrong,” Hou Xiaolian said in a low voice. ”I apologize to you, please save my father!”

”Hmph!” Su Yang snorted coldly. ”Had you broken Hou Xiaozhi’s legs just now, I surely would have saved Hou Xiangde. But now, Hou Xiaozhi’s legs were not broken by you. What right do you have to ask me to save Hou Xiangde!”

Hou Xiaolian was stunned. He was an influential person in the province. He personally came to beg Su Yang, and even that was not enough? Wasn’t Su Yang being a bit too arrogant?

”Master Su, this incident was indeed my Hou Family’s fault. I apologize to you here and please forgive our offense,” Hou Shilin came forward and respectfully said, ”I beg you to save my grandfather. My entire Hou Family will be eternally grateful!”

Su Yang glanced at Hou Shilin and then slowly nodded, ”Hou Shilin, I’ll give you this face. But remember, members of the Hou Family must show full respect when they see me from now on. Otherwise, just as Hou Xiangde was revived today, he can just as easily fall another day!”

With that, Su Yang walked into the inner room and casually slapped Hou Xiangde on the head, who immediately opened his eyes as if waking from an intense dream, his face filled with confusion.

Everyone was stunned. Was Su Yang really that powerful? Hou Xiangde had been unconscious for so many days, yet he was brought around by a mere slap?

Su Yang paid no attention to the others. He walked over to Master Fang and said coldly, ”Let’s go.”

Overjoyed, Master Fang bent over deeply, his voice trembling, ”Immortal Master, please lead the way!”

Su Yang walked with his hands behind his back, Master Fang following closely behind him like an attendant. His young apprentice, who had wanted to follow, was fiercely glared at by Master Fang and suddenly didn’t know what to do, standing there bewildered.

The Hou Family members also stood frozen, reeling from the events. Hou Xiangde was awake, but what happened was a massive shock to the Hou Family. How should they treat Su Yang after this? Should they behave as Su Yang commanded, humbly and respectfully, or should they ignore his commands?

All eyes turned to Hou Xiaolian, who frowned deeply, sighed, and waved his hand, ”From now on, if you see him, avoid him. If you can’t, show a bit of respect. A person like this can be anything but an enemy to our Hou Family!”

Hearing this, the members of the Hou Family breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were really afraid that Hou Xiaolian would challenge them to go against Su Yang. Although they were of the Hou Family, they certainly didn’t have the courage for it!

”Shilin, from today on, you’ll take over everything belonging to your second uncle,” Hou Xiaolian patted Hou Shilin on the shoulder and said, ”Also, you will handle all matters concerning Su Yang for the Hou Family from now on.”

Hou Xiaolian was not foolish. He could see that even he had no influence over Su Yang. But it was different for Hou Shilin. Su Yang had saved Hou Xiangde at Hou Shilin’s request. That is to say, the only person who could speak to Su Yang now on behalf of the Hou Family was Hou Shilin.

Therefore, by handing over everything of Hou Xiaozhi to Hou Shilin, Hou Xiaolian was also making an indirect gesture of goodwill towards Su Yang. Although he didn’t say it, Hou Xiaolian knew very well that Su Yang was not someone the Hou Family could afford to offend!
