Yang Feilong looked at Liu Zhu, the hatred in the other's eyes was boundless.
He, a young master from a prestigious family, was usually flattered wherever he went. But now? He was beaten like a dead dog. This feeling was beyond mere frustration and anger.
"Can you clean up your mouth a bit?" Yang Feilong said calmly to Liu Zhu.
"If you have the guts, kill me!" Liu Zhu gritted his teeth and stared venomously at Yang Feilong.
"Do you think I dare not?" A playful smirk appeared on Yang Feilong's lips.
"I bet you don't dare!" Liu Zhu snorted coldly. Despite being so brutally beaten by Yang Feilong, his face still held a stubbornness mixed with resentment.
The next moment, Yang Feilong stepped on Liu Zhu. With a boom, a powerful force surged towards Liu Zhu's Dantian, and with a crack, the Dantian sustained some damage.
"Ah, you, you dare..." Liu Zhu's trembling voice rang out.
He might seem tough, but Yang Feilong's intention to cripple his Dantian was far worse than killing him.
Currently, the Dantian had only a slight crack and could still be healed. But if it were severely damaged, it would be too late. His cultivation would be in vain. Even now, with just a slight fissure, he could feel his cultivation unstable, and some internal energy was already leaking out.
"Aren't you very tough?" Yang Feilong looked at Liu Zhu playfully.
Liu Zhu: "..."
"Kid, if you cripple our young master, we will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!" Liu Guang's angry voice sounded. "Mida, let go of him!"
He first threatened Yang Feilong, then roared at Mida.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Stay here with me!" Mida stared coldly at Liu Guang.
Their two families resided in the same area, maintaining a superficial peace, but their internal competition was constant. Therefore, falling out was not uncommon. Moreover, Yang Feilong was stepping up for their third young master, so he would never allow Liu Guang to attack Yang Feilong.
Liu Guang gnashed his teeth in anger.
The owner of the restaurant dared not step forward to speak. They all recognized Xu Zhenqiang and Wu Erhu, individuals they could not afford to offend, let alone Mida and the others.
Just then, a voice rang out, "What a lively scene here!"
A young man, appearing quite dashing, walked into the establishment.
"Second Brother!" Mia saw the newcomer and a flicker of surprise and joy flashed in her eyes.
Mi Kang also saw the person and called out, "Second Brother!"
Mi Kang had three brothers, and this newcomer was his own biological second brother.
"Mi Lai!" Seeing the person, Liu Zhu's already grim expression turned even more somber and terrifying.
A few years ago, the two could still contend with each other. But since last year, Mi Lai had successfully broken through to the Spiritual Martial Realm, while he was stuck at the peak of the Profound Martial Realm. A year had passed, and he had broken through, but Mi Lai had also advanced to the mid-stage Spiritual Martial Realm, no, it seemed he had broken through even further!
Major realm breakthroughs were generally difficult, while minor realm advancements were relatively easier.
For example, there weren't necessarily more cultivators at the peak of the Profound Martial Realm than at the early stage of the Profound Martial Realm!
This was because the bottlenecks between major realms were harder to overcome!
Mi Lai glanced at Yang Feilong, a look of surprise in his eyes. He clearly hadn't expected the person who had subdued Liu Zhu to be so young, not much older than his younger sister.
"Sister, tell me what happened!" Mi Lai asked his sister Mia.
His eyes were filled with curiosity.
He wanted to understand the full story so he would know how to resolve the situation.
Yes, the situation seemed to have reached a stalemate, as he had realized the moment he entered.
Hearing his second brother's words, Mia pondered slightly and recounted the events in detail.
After listening, everyone's gaze turned to Wu Erhu, including Liu Zhu. Liu Zhu only knew that his subordinate Wu Erhu had clashed with Mi Kang and the others, but he was unaware of the specific reason for the conflict. Now, however, he felt a surge of anger!
"Wu Erhu!" At this moment, Liu Zhu had the urge to kill Wu Erhu and feed him to dogs. In his heart, Wu Erhu was even more detestable than Yang Feilong.
Even he wouldn't dare to humiliate Mia, the little princess of the Mi family, like that. He knew how highly she was valued within the Mi family.
Not only did the three Mi brothers dote on their sister, but Mia's parents, grandparents, and everyone else also spoiled this little princess immensely!
Now he understood why Mi Kang had shown him such disrespect earlier.
But after realizing the reason, Liu Zhu felt regret.
He had stirred up trouble for himself for no reason!
The next moment, Mi Lai, filled with killing intent, turned his gaze towards Wu Erhu.
"I, I didn't know... she..." Facing the murderous Mi Lai, Wu Erhu's intestines turned green with regret, and he stammered, "She..."
"Bring him over to me!" Mi Lai said calmly to Mi Kang.
The next moment, Mi Kang scooped up Wu Erhu.
"No!" The Wu family guards seemed to understand what the Mi brothers were about to do and exclaimed, "Our Xu family is willing to compensate!"
This was their young master from the Xu family!
The other party truly dared to kill their young master, or at the very least, cripple his cultivation. If his cultivation were crippled, what difference would that make from killing him?
Mi Lai's expression was icy cold, showing no hint of mercy despite their pleas and offer of compensation.
He unleashed a punch from mid-air, its power terrifying.
If this punch landed, Wu Erhu would undoubtedly be crippled.
Dominant, powerful.
This was Mi Lai's demeanor.
Just then, a flash of light appeared, and a figure blocked the thunderous and domineering punch.
"Dad!" Seeing the newcomer, Wu Erhu exclaimed with surprise.
Indeed, the person who arrived was Wu Erhu's father, the current patriarch of the Wu family, a cultivator at the late Yuan Martial Realm.
Like the Xu family, the Wu family also had a Yuan Martial Realm expert.
"Patriarch Wu Fangxin of the Wu family!" Looking at the newcomer, Mi Lai showed no fear, as if he hadn't noticed the late Yuan Martial Realm expert before him.
Wu Fangxin's expression was grim. His family had informed him of the events that had transpired here. He had rushed with all his might and had arrived just in time. If he had been a moment later, his most prized son might have been crippled!
Although his son was not crippled now, he had offended the Mi family, which could be a devastating blow to the Wu family!
If the Liu family were willing to help, it would be manageable. But the Liu family had also suffered humiliation because of his son, and it was all his son's fault. This made him wish he could kill his own son with his own hands to avert the catastrophe his son had caused!
"Greetings to the two young masters of the Mi family, Young Master Liu, and this young gentleman!" Wu Fangxin, despite being the highest-cultivated person present, adopted a humble posture. He was respectful towards the two young masters of the Mi family, Young Master Liu, and even Yang Feilong. When he saw Yang Feilong, his mouth twitched slightly. This person was still stepping on the young master Liu, who, in his eyes, was immensely noble.
What was this fellow's background? How dare he treat the young master of the Liu family like this? Although not the sole young master of the Liu family, he was one of them!
