Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1306: Murder to Silence

The angry curses continued unabated, yet no one noticed that Wang Ding’s expression had turned icy cold.

Just as Su Yang had said, the moment Wang Ding saw these four individuals were still alive, murderous intent had already brewed within him.

Yet these four were oblivious to their own predicament and even had the audacity to directly threaten Wang Ding, declaring they would report him to the Tribunal Hall—such a suicidal move!

”Seems like you folks really hate me, huh!” Wang Ding’s expression chilling, he slowly stepped in front of one of the men.

”This isn’t just hating you; damn it, this is outright enmity!” Completely unaware of his own dire situation, the man bellowed, ”Wang Ding, just you wait for the Tribunal Hall’s punishment. Bastard, we’re not going after that Su scum anymore; we’re determined to fight you to the death!”

”Yes, to the death with you!” The other three men loudly echoed in agreement.

”Good! Very good! Excellent!” Wang Ding let out a laugh before suddenly slamming his palm on the man’s head.

The man’s body swayed, his eyes fixed on Wang Ding, utterly unprepared for the sudden attack. With his mouth agape, he couldn’t even utter a sound before slowly collapsing to the ground, dead on the spot.

This act shocked the remaining three men, who had not anticipated Wang Ding would actually kill someone.

”You... What are you doing?” one of the men exclaimed in horror, ”You... you actually killed Old Qi?”

”He wanted to report me to the Tribunal Hall, what else could I do?” Wang Ding coldly retorted: ”If I didn’t kill him, should I just wait for him to make his accusation?”

These three men’s expressions changed instantly, panic reaching a fever pitch as they considered their own situation.

”You three, are you also thinking of reporting me to the Tribunal Hall?” Wang Ding slowly walked towards one of them.

”No... No, not at all...” the man quickly gestured with his hands, shaking his head: ”I... I was just spouting nonsense. What kind of relationship do we have? How... how could I possibly do such a thing? We’re like brothers...”

”If you say it like that, I really can’t trust you!” Wang Ding approached the man and suddenly raised his hand to strike: ”I find the dead far more trustworthy!”

This man followed suit of the previous individual, unable to even utter a groan.

The remaining two were even more terrified, trembling as they saw Wang Ding turn his gaze upon them.

The stocky man shouted angrily, ”Wang Ding, you... if you kill us, how will you explain to the sect?”

”Explain what? What’s there to explain?” Wang Ding spread his hands: ”It was that Su fellow who killed you, not me. Rest assured, I will bring the sect’s experts to seek revenge on that Su scum!”

The stocky man was stunned, his voice quivering, ”You... You’re despicable. You kill us and then... then you frame that Su guy?”

”Isn’t this perfect?” Wang Ding sneered, ”Not only have I shut you up, but I also took care of that Su guy. Two birds with one stone; even in death, you have your uses!”

”That Su guy won’t admit to this...” another man said.

”Do you think the sect will believe my word or his?” Wang Ding countered.

The man was left speechless; indeed, how could the sect possibly believe the word of an outsider?

The stocky man and his companion fell into despair, suddenly realizing that even in death, no one would know how they died. They wouldn’t even be able to seek justice— the sect would not avenge them. What a sorrowful realization!

Wang Ding did not hesitate; he swiftly killed the two men. After confirming multiple times that all four were indeed dead, he hastily left the scene, daring not to linger a moment longer.

Next comes the test of his acting skills!

...

On the way back, Su Yang and his companions ran into Xiao Hei and the others, who were rushing over.

Seeing that Su Yang had rescued Jeang Zier, Xiao Hei was overjoyed.

Upon their return to Shen Family Courtyard, they saw Lü Donglin hastening out of the compound.

”Brother Lü!” Su Yang called out.

”Ah!” Lü Donglin, relieved upon seeing Su Yang, exhaled, ”How are you? I heard you ran into some trouble here, so I immediately brought people over. Are you alright?”

Su Yang couldn’t help but smile; Lü Donglin was just that kind of person. If he considered you a friend, no matter the situation, he would be the first to come to your aid.

”I’m fine, just some trivial pests!” Su Yang replied with a smile.

”That’s good to hear!” Lü Donglin nodded, ”If there’s no problem, come have some drinks at my place at noon. The Drunken Monk is awake; he’s soaking beans in wine for breakfast. Looking at how things are, we’ll need to drink our fill with him this afternoon!”

”Sure!” Su Yang nodded, whilst also surprised to himself that the Drunken Monk was so fond of alcohol.

After tidying up a bit, Jeang Zier recounted to Su Yang the recent events that had transpired.

When he heard about the incident with the Medicine Sect, Su Yang’s brows slightly furrowed.

He had heard about the Ten Great Sects from Huo Yuanzhen back at Qinghe Academy, especially the incidents involving Jade Maiden Peak, leaving him with no good impression of the Ten Great Sects.

Unexpectedly, such an incident had occurred. That Third Elder of the Medicine Sect had directly abducted Jeang Zier. Regardless of her intentions, her actions were wrong. Moreover, the Medicine Sect’s people, even after Jeang Zier declared herself a disciple of the Third Elder, still attempted to dishonor her and even sought to kill Jeang Zier to silence her, which was even more outrageous.

After this incident, Su Yang’s impression of the Medicine Sect plummeted to an all-time low. What kind of sect was this that produced such people?

Jeang Zier also sighed. Indeed, she had some aspirations towards the Medicine Sect, but after this incident, any last shred of favorable impression she had of the Medicine Sect was utterly shattered.

Now, the possibility of her joining the Medicine Sect was out of the question.

After arranging for Jeang Zier’s accommodations, Su Yang went to Lü Donglin’s place at noon to join the Drunken Monk for drinks.

While drinking, Su Yang casually brought up the matter with the Medicine Sect.

”So the business you ran off to this morning was this issue?” Lü Donglin’s expression became grave; evidently, the Medicine Sect was not to be taken lightly, or else he wouldn’t have reacted this way.

”Yes!” Su Yang nodded and briefly recounted the events to Lü Donglin.

Lü Donglin was silent for a while after hearing this.

The Drunken Monk beside them put down his cup and sighed, ”Brother Su, you did nothing wrong in this matter. But in this world, many things aren’t about strictly right or wrong. Sometimes, even when you know something is right, you can’t just go ahead and do it.”

Su Yang looked at the Drunken Monk and fell into a brief silence before quietly saying, ”If knowing it’s the right thing to do is not enough to act upon, then what’s the point of discussing right and wrong? Just like the incident with the Su Family of Yanbei, since I’ve done it, I hold no regrets.”
