Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1179: Chen Benhong, You Want to Challenge Me?

The speaker was a dandy from the Capital City, provoking laughter from many people as soon as the words left his mouth.

”Young Master Ling is right, that Su Yang, he surely won’t dare to come tonight!”

”He’s good only at blustering, relying on his minor abilities to bully the average person. But tonight, this occasion, even if he had the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he wouldn’t dare to come here and cause trouble!”

”Of course, just look at who is presiding over the Purple Lotus Garden tonight, that’s the Chen Family’s very own Chen Benhong!”

”With Chen Shao here, Su Yang is bound to be terrified just hearing the wind. Chen Shao’s name alone could scare the piss out of him. Lady Frost, you’re fated not to see him tonight!”

”Indeed, with Chen Shao here giving him ten gallbladders wouldn’t embolden him to come!”

The crowd burst into conversation, some ridiculing Su Yang, some praising Chen Benhong, creating an extremely lively scene.

Chen Benhong’s eyes showed some complacency, but his face carried a modest smile as he waved his hand and laughed, ”You all flatter me too much. Today, all of us from the Capital City are gathered here, and it is our unity that is key. This Su Yang is despicable and shameless, his methods sinister. He has killed countless in the Capital City, disregarding its rules, and has become the common enemy of us all. If he dares come today, I, Chen Benhong, will be the first to not let him off!”

Chen Benhong pretended to be modest with this speech, but in reality, the moment he spoke, he revealed his ambition. He wanted to take this opportunity to leave a better reputation amongst these dandies of the Capital City, thus enhancing his own prestige.

He was no match for Lü Donglin, nor dared to provoke him. But dealing with Su Yang, he had more than enough confidence.

Also, the recent deeds of Su Yang in the Capital City were not insignificant, and dealing with Su Yang would certainly boost his reputation.

Moreover, it was something the Chen Family had been planning to do against Su Yang!

The dandies below were of course roaring their approval, Lü Peiwen was overjoyed, hurriedly flattered, which made it seem as if Chen Benhong had become the leader against Su Yang, further increasing Chen Benhong’s pride.

As everyone was flattering each other, a voice suddenly interrupted the lively conversation.

”Chen Benhong, are you challenging me?”

Everyone turned towards the voice and saw a figure emerge from a corner, removing a hat to reveal his true face.

Chen Benshuang was the first to recognize him and leapt up, exclaiming loudly, ”Su Yang!?”

Not many present knew Su Yang by sight, but upon hearing Chen Benshuang’s words, everyone immediately knew this man’s identity, and all eyes widened in shock.

Everyone had thought that Su Yang would definitely not dare to show up today, and they had just been mocking him. Yet not long after their mockery, Su Yang had appeared, which was a slap in the face to all of them.

Lü Peiwen was startled at first, then overjoyed, his tone dark, ”Su Yang, you’ve got some nerve. Choosing to come here instead of taking the path to Paradise, it’s as if you’re breaking into Hell with no doors. You really dare come here. What, by speaking like this, are you planning to challenge Chen Shao? Hmph, what are you, to talk to Chen Shao this way?”

Su Yang didn’t even glance at Lü Peiwen, his cold gaze was fixed on Chen Benhong.

Chen Benhong’s brow furrowed slightly; Su Yang’s words sounded almost like an accusation, making him very uncomfortable.

In his view, Su Yang was nothing more than a lowborn upstart who had achieved his current position through opportunistic scheming, without the right to be compared with a great scion like himself. Su Yang certainly had no right to stand before him speaking, let alone questioning him like this.

However, before Chen Benhong could speak, Chen Benshuang next to him angrily shouted, ”Su Yang, there’s still unsettled business between us. Since you’re here today, let’s settle our affairs. Either you die, or I perish!”

The surrounding people were stunned. Chen Benshuang taking action herself was a big deal. If it brought out the Black Widow from behind her, Su Yang would find it hard not to die.

”Lady Frost,” Lü Donglin said with a light laugh, ”Su Yang is clearly challenging your brother Chen Benhong. In the face of so many from the Capital City, if you stand up for him, wouldn’t that make people think the Chen family has no men, needing a woman to fight their battles? Chen Shao, as the future heir of your family, such behavior is beneath your dignity, isn’t it?”

The faces of everyone present changed as Lü Donglin’s words were clearly a dig at Chen Benhong, signaling him to take personal action. However, at this point, Chen Benhong was in no position to rebut. After all, Su Yang had challenged him directly, and for his sister to take action on his behalf would indeed look bad.

”Lü Donglin, keep out of this, this is between him and me!” Chen Benshuang hadn’t caught on to the situation yelling out, ”Su Yang, do you dare to fight me!”

Su Yang remained silent, while Chen Benhong spoke softly, ”Little Frost, come back. Since Master Su has challenged me, then I must personally take up this fight.”

”Brother, my grudge with him isn’t settled yet!” Chen Benshuang protested anxiously.

”Little Frost,” an elder next to her also spoke softly, ”This fight must be your brother’s. He is the heir of the family; if he doesn’t fight, it will tarnish his reputation.”

Chen Benshuang was reluctant, but ultimately, she said no more.

Su Yang sighed in relief; he really didn’t want to fight Chen Benshuang.

He nodded towards Lü Donglin, all gratitude expressed without words.

Lü Donglin gave a faint smile, wasted no time, and walked straight to Lü Wenbang, ”Family Head Lü, perhaps it’s time to settle our business?”

”It’s better to resolve old grudges than to let them fester!” Lü Wenbang replied softly, ”Those incidents from years ago have long passed, must Young Master Lü insist on dredging them up?”

”Time has passed indeed, but many people have not died yet,” Lü Donglin said. ”I’ve come to the Capital City to exact vengeance on the masterminds and minions behind that affair. Anyone involved in that incident will not live to tell the tale. Even if by luck they died before meeting me, I’d exhume their body and flog it for three days, dry it out and grind it to dust, to quench the hatred in my heart.”

Everyone present listened with fear and trepidation to Lü Donglin’s cruel words.

Lü Wenbang sighed lightly, ”What a pity!”

”Yes, indeed, what a pity,” Lü Donglin walked to a window, stepping out into the air and positioning himself over Purple Lotus Lake, loudly, ”Family Head Lü, please!”

Lü Wenbang drank the tea in his cup and, like Lü Donglin, walked on air over Purple Lotus Lake.

As the moonlight shone down, it fell on both of them and lit up the lake beneath. The lake’s surface was still, like dead water, as if silenced under the pressure of the two masters’ presence.

”You’re the junior, I’ll let you make three moves first!” Lü Wenbang announced.

Not wasting a word, Lü Donglin threw three punches in the air and declared, ”Three moves are done; fight!”
