Chapter 35: My Rage, Your Plea for Peace

~8 min read 1,566 words

"Zhou You, don't be impulsive. Tu Laosan is nothing, but he has Master Tu Er over him."

"If you dare to touch him, no one on this entire street will have a way to live."

Threatening me with the neighbors on the street?

Zhou You narrowed his eyes; sure enough, gangs are all scum, completely devoid of moral bottom lines.

He did not doubt for a second that in order to avenge his brother, Tu Laoer could be crazy enough to slaughter an entire street; he had the confidence and the strength for it.

But so what?

Zhou You only wanted to protect his family, and for that, why regret making a scene!

A drawn precious blade must be stained with blood; how could a fierce tiger coming down from the mountain return empty-handed?

Since he had already started killing, for Tu Laosan, the target, to still dream of getting away unscathed was simply a joke.

The two Jinli Level martial artists of the Wild Fox Gang were tricky; only by dealing with them could he find the main culprit... Tu Laosan.

"Tu Laosan, just you wait."

Zhou You made a gesture toward Tu Laosan, his sharp fingernail tracing a line across his throat.

Tu Laosan flew into a rage, "Wu Gang, Du Dayou, kill him for me! I want him dead!"

Hearing the clamor of this good-for-nothing, Wu Gang and his companion were speechless; did he really not see the situation clearly?

"Zhou You, you are also a man of status; let's all sit down and discuss this matter."

In his words, Wu Gang had already tacitly acknowledged that Zhou You was qualified to negotiate with them.

After all, Zhou You had displayed his Jinli Level and the strength to contend with them combined.

But Zhou You did not want to talk; he only wanted a quick resolution to kill Tu Laosan.

So what if it was the Wild Fox Gang? At worst, he would take his parents and flee the city; the world was vast, was there only Gongliang City to settle in?

It was precisely because of this courage to stake everything that the killing intent on Zhou You grew ever more vigorous.

Wu Gang and Du Dayou only felt their scalps tingle; this was bad, there would surely be loss of life.

Clashes at the Jinli Level often had a wide reach and caused great harm; in the aftermath of such a fight, casualties were uncontrollable.

Tu Laosan was a piece of trash; if they really started fighting, they had no confidence they could keep his life safe.

"Zhou You, if not for others, you should at least think of your own parents."

"If you dare to touch Tu Laosan, we two dare to touch your parents."

Du Dayou threatened with a stern voice and harsh expression.

Zhou You seemed to be awakened by these words, nodding thoughtfully, "Since that is the case, I cannot leave you alive even more."

As soon as his voice fell, a foul wind rose, and a roar of a fierce tiger came from the flat ground.

The intensity of this gust of wind far exceeded any before!

Du Dayou felt a sense of suffocation rushing toward his face and hurriedly channeled his Jinli to throw a punch; he was no mediocre person, having joined the Wild Fox Gang after mastering his Jinli and having fought dozens of battles against rival gangs, his experience in slaughter was rich.

However, this time, the feeling of facing Zhou You was different from any other time in the past.

Before him was not a living person, but a starving fierce tiger wearing human skin, drool flowing between its breaths.

With his courage stolen, he could not even unleash half of his ten-tenths of strength.

"You're courting death, daring to threaten me with my parents."

Zhou You roared, his Jinli causing the air to tremble slightly, his strength, speed, and defense all reaching their peak state.

Du Dayou scrambled to clash with him and was sent flying like a ball, directly collapsing half a brick wall.

Wu Gang's eyelids twitched twice; that blue brick wall bonded with gray mortar, even if a big man swung a hundred-pound sledgehammer at it, he couldn't smash it, yet at this moment, it had become a shoddy construction.

It wasn't that the brick wall wasn't hard enough, but that Zhou You's strength was too vigorous and too savage.

Du Dayou struggled a few times, rolled from the ruins to the ground, and lay paralyzed in a pile of broken bricks, unable to climb up.

With this, Du Dayou was also of no use, and the fundamental reason was that he had threatened Zhou You's parents.

Wu Gang couldn't help but glare at Tu Laosan; look, what kind of person did you offend?

"Hall Master Wu, save me, my second brother has treated you well."

He had treated him well, otherwise, he would have been the first to abandon him and flee.

Wu Gang felt his throat go a bit dry and cupped his hands, "To show our sincerity, we are willing to pay money to apologize."

Well, the situation had completely reversed.

Previously, it was Tu Laosan extorting 50 taels and demanding Zhou You come to his door to kowtow and apologize; now it was the Wild Fox Gang admitting defeat.

Wu Gang had no choice; to save Tu Laosan's miserable life, he had to bleed money.

Zhou You, however, shook his head; he didn't want money, he only wanted Tu Laosan's dog life.

"Mom, Dad, don't be afraid, I'll be done here very soon."

Zhou You shouted toward the house; hearing this, Wu Gang's heart skipped a beat.

Inside the house, Zhou Laocan gripped his tobacco pipe, shielding his wife; since just a moment ago, the outside had fallen into silence.

The old couple felt uneasy, countless thoughts turning in their minds; just at this moment of extreme torment, they heard their son's voice.

"You'er, tell him to run quickly."

Mother pulled on Zhou Laodie's sleeve and begged.

As a woman of the household, she didn't have much experience, but her first reaction to danger was that her son had to live.

Zhou Laodie's knuckles turned white as he gripped the tobacco pipe, "Wait a little longer, You'er is fine, he's fine."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the window, "Jian Xiong Martial Arts Hall, Outer Court Apprentice Xu Ying has come to pay a visit."

The old couple breathed a sigh of relief, then their hearts suddenly tightened again.

Someone from the martial arts hall had come; was it a blessing or a curse?

Xu Ying had arrived; he saw the mess everywhere, and his eyelids twitched twice.

It seems Zhou You is playing a big game; to have such capability right after getting out of bed, I still underestimated him.

"Senior Brother Xu, why are you here?"

Zhou You frowned slightly; he vaguely felt that today's events would be difficult to proceed according to plan.

Sure enough, Wu Gang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xu Ying and raised his hand to speak.

"Xu Ying, hurry up and control the people from your martial arts hall."

Xu Ying raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Don't act so familiar with me; it's not your place as a gang member to interfere in the family affairs of the martial arts hall."

"Look at what you've done to the entrance of Junior Brother Zhou's home."

Wu Gang was choked speechless; the ones dead and injured were all from the Wild Fox Gang, so it seemed they were the ones suffering the most.

Off to the side, Tu Laosan said irritably, "Stop yapping; once my second brother gets here, none of you will have a good ending."

Although he couldn't beat a Jinli Level martial artist, he had a second brother at the Blood-Qi Barrier, which was the capital Tu Laosan used to run rampant.

Tu Laoer doted on his younger brother to the point of being unreasonable.

Xu Ying glanced at Tu Laosan, "What kind of thing are you!"

"Outsiders give you face by calling you Third Master Tu, do you really think you're something special?"

"In my eyes, you're just a piece of trash borrowing a tiger's might; if not for your brother shielding you, you'd be nothing!"

"Wu Gang, watch his mouth, otherwise..."

Wu Gang's scalp went numb, and he turned around to dislocate Tu Laosan's jaw.

He then cupped his hands toward Wu Gang, "I am willing to negotiate."

Zhou You was just about to speak when Xu Ying's reminder reached his ears, "Junior Brother, know when to stop while you're ahead."

What does it mean to stop while ahead?

This meant that Jian Xiong Martial Arts Hall would not erupt into conflict with the Wild Fox Gang for his sake alone.

After all, behind Tu Laosan was Tu Laoer, who was at the Blood-Qi level and belonged to the upper echelon of strong martial artists.

Although Zhou You had been promoted to an Apprentice, he was only at the Jinli Level, and his value was not yet great enough for the martial arts hall to oppose Tu Laoer for him.

Even if Inner Court Disciple Shen Sijing had been trying hard to recruit Zhou You recently, she might not necessarily step up for this matter.

This is reality, cruel reality!
