Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1412: I Can’t Make the Call

Young Master Zhang Seven flew into a rage, taking a step forward directly.

At this moment, Black Widow also turned around, staring at him coldly. The intent was crystal clear—if Young Master Zhang Seven made a move, Black Widow would inevitably intervene.

Young Master Zhang Seven’s brows furrowed—he was no match for Black Widow!

Young Master Zhang Seven’s own strength was actually not weak, but it all depended on who he was compared to. Against a junior like Su Yang, of course, he was superior. However, when compared to Black Widow, who could arm wrestle the Martial Champion, his prowess was evidently lacking.

The situation now had completely exceeded Young Master Zhang Seven’s expectations; he never imagined that Black Widow would confront him head-on for Su Yang’s sake.

It must be known, behind Young Master Zhang Seven stood the Zhang Family, with his father being the Martial Champion.

Although Black Widow’s power accumulated over the years was formidable, it was certainly no match for the Martial Champion. In Young Master Zhang Seven’s estimation, Black Widow should be trying to avoid a direct confrontation with the Martial Champion—after all, her definite target must be the Su Family of Yanbei.

But he could not fathom why Black Widow would make a personal appearance tonight and even take such action. By confronting Young Master Zhang Seven for Su Yang’s sake, was she not afraid of drawing out the Martial Champion?

This left Young Master Zhang Seven in quite a dilemma. He had already talked big, and backing down now would wreck his reputation.

But if he continued to charge forward, he would definitely face off against Black Widow, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

All eyes at the scene were fixed on Young Master Zhang Seven, filled with anticipation, hoping that he would rush forward and kill Su Yang.

Young Master Zhang Seven’s face looked extremely unpleasant. Gritting his teeth, he was about to muster up the courage to go and slay Su Yang. Just then, an elderly voice came through: ”Old Qi, Old Eight, come home.”

Everyone present was stunned, with most unsure where the voice had come from. Of course, there were those who immediately recognized the voice’s origin and looked towards the distance in shock.

”The Martial Champion!” Li Tianhua was the first to exclaim.

The others also had an epiphany—indeed, who else but the Martial Champion and the brothers of the Zhang Family could address Young Master Zhang Seven and Young Master Zhang Eight in this way? And this voice, so aged, who else could it be but the Martial Champion?

However, why would the Martial Champion ask Old Zhang the Seventh and Old Zhang the Eighth to return? What did he mean by this? Could it be that the Martial Champion was planning to yield to Su Yang?

Remember, Young Master Zhang Seven and Su Yang are practically at the point of an outright quarrel, just shy of coming to blows. If Young Master Zhang Seven were to leave now, he’d leave his pride behind as well.

The Martial Champion, not only does he not support his son, but he even wants them to return—this situation was increasingly baffling.

With the Martial Champion’s status, dealing with Su Yang would merely require the lift of a finger; why then would he yield to Su Yang?

Li Tianhua glanced at Young Master Zhang Seven, and then at Su Yang hovering in the sky, feeling suddenly anxious. Su Yang’s The Art of Thousand Swords was too powerful; only Young Master Zhang Seven could stop him. If Young Master Zhang Seven left, wouldn’t everyone else be in trouble?

”Martial Champion elder, this Su Yang rampages through Capital City, committing murders like harvesting hemp, treating lives as mere weeds, with exceedingly ruthless methods. Today, the major families of Capital City joined forces to confront him for an explanation, but not only did he not provide any, he even resorted to violence, carrying out a massacre right here!” Li Tianhua hastily said, ”We beseech you, Martial Champion elder, to uphold justice for the major families of Capital City!”

Li Tianhua’s words immediately reminded the others, who all knelt in the direction of the Zhang Family, shouting out loud: ”Please, elder, act on our behalf!”

There was silence for a moment from that side, before the voice of the Martial Champion once again transmitted: ”Right and wrong, success or failure, these lie in the heart of men. Your affairs, I cannot decide, nor will I decide for you.”

The crowd on site immediately panicked, and Li Tianhua said urgently: ”Elder, this matter is Su Yang’s fault. He roams around Capital City committing murder, not taking anyone in the city seriously, so how can there be any talk of right and wrong or success or failure?”

”Even now, you still don’t know who is right or who is wrong, what significance is there left to discuss right and wrong?” The Martial Champion sighed softly, and after that said no more.

Li Tianhua was dumbfounded, staring blankly in the direction of the Zhang Family, totally unable to comprehend what the Martial Champion meant. Was he actually saying it was his fault? Could it be that the Martial Champion approves of what Su Yang has done? But, on what basis?

Li Tianhua truly couldn’t understand—Su Yang, being an outsider, on what grounds could he come to Capital City and do whatever he pleased? And these major families of Capital City, having suffered such a loss under Su Yang’s hands, with so many people dead, it’s somehow their fault instead? On what basis?

Black Widow looked in the direction of the Zhang Family; her expression didn’t change much, but her eyes clearly showed some surprise. For the Martial Champion to demonstrate such profound understanding was somewhat beyond her expectations, and she couldn’t figure out since when had the Martial Champion become so easy to talk to?

Young Master Qi was also utterly shocked; he hadn’t expected that his own father would actually help speak up for Su Yang. This situation made his own position even more awkward. In the end, he clenched his teeth and turned away, leaving in indignation.

Young Master Zhang Eight was also completely perplexed, unable to figure out what exactly was happening, and could only hurriedly follow behind Young Master Qi as they left.

After these two left, the site became even more chaotic.

If even the Martial Champion Zhang Family wasn’t going to intervene, then Black Widow would be the leading expert present. At this time, if Su Yang decided to kill them, who could stop him?

In this moment, many started feeling regret.

Tonight, Su Yang had only mentioned hosting them and had not said he’d cause trouble for them. Besides, during this period, they had been living in mutual peace with Su Yang, not intervening in many matters concerning him anymore, and the relationship between them had stabilized. So, why on earth did they become possessed tonight and start targeting Su Yang?

Thinking over tonight’s events carefully, most people had actually only planned to come over for a meal, to figure out what Su Yang was up to.

But under the instigation of Li Tianhua and others, everyone finally became tempted, thinking that this was an opportunity that comes once in a blue moon, wishing to kill Su Yang tonight.

And so, things developed to this current step. These people banded together against Su Yang, but didn’t expect that they would rouse Black Widow, and moreover, that Su Yang would have such a formidable trump card.

The first time The Art of Thousand Swords was unleashed, everyone knew that they had gotten themselves into big trouble this time.

And now, with even the people of the Martial Champion Zhang Family gone, what hope did they have left?

In the air, Su Yang’s power accumulated enough once again, thousands of Longswords hovering in the sky, emitting waves of dragon-like roars, as if they were about to strike down at any moment.
