Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Han Yuntang
Shi Hao and Liu Mang sat in the “supreme position”, and no one dared to say anything anymore.
Liu Mang had beaten someone up and his thoughts were naturally clear, so he happily started drinking tea.
Before long, the host arrived.
A tall and slender young man strode over and directly took his seat at the head of the table.
Is this the Crown Prince Chu Fei?
All present couldn’t help but stand up, only a few who had been here last year showed an expression of surprise, because they knew that this person was not Chu Fei.
The young man sat down boldly and said arrogantly, “Seeing me, you still dare to sit?”
The few from last year also stood up involuntarily, although this was not Chu Fei, the fact that he could sit there, and the servants on the side did not stop him, showed that he must also be someone with a significant background.
This is the County Town after all, where there are too many powerful families to offend, right?
So even if they were geniuses who were highly sought after in their own cities, they had to keep a low profile here.
All stood up, except for Shi Hao and Liu Mang.
In fact, Liu Mang stood up too, though he was already a Primary Level martial master, his mentality hadn’t caught up yet, but seeing Shi Hao still sitting with composure, he sat back down.
After all, he looked to Shi Hao for guidance.
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Hehe, to be so young and arrogant, daring to put on airs in the County Town, they would die without knowing how.
At the head of the table, the young man naturally saw this too and a cold smile crept onto his lips.
“I am Han Yuntang, Chu Fei is my cousin,” he said.
With this identity revealed, it naturally made everyone even more respectful.
However, Shi Hao and Liu Mang remained as they were, with no intention of standing up.
This time, Han Yuntang finally showed his anger.
He was a scion of a powerful family, and with his relationship to Chu Fei, he was among the top in the second-generation hierarchy.
Now, two country bumpkins from a small city actually dared to disrespect him?
“Hehe, have you been so self-important for too long in the countryside that you have forgotten where you are?” Han Yuntang said coldly.
Shi Hao acted as if he heard nothing. In fact, there was no one in the entire County Town who could make him rise to greet them.
His strength now reached seventy-one thousand catties, and even the lord of the County was no more than that, and in a world where strength was revered, who then could make Shi Hao rise to greet them?
“Shi Hao, you’re far too audacious!”
“Young Master Han has arrived, and you still dare to sit?”
“Stand up and apologize to Young Master Han!”
The others began to chide, fueling the fire.
Han Yuntang listened and although he knew they were egging on the situation, his anger was not easily quelled.
However, when it came to manipulating power, how could these people possibly be his match?
He said indifferently, “Whoever takes down these two for me, shall be generously rewarded by me!”
With that statement, the room instantly fell silent.
Who would dare to take on this task?
They had just made a move, but were effortlessly defeated by Liu Mang, the disparity in strength was no minor matter.
So even with the promise of a great reward, they couldn’t possibly claim it, so why bother?
Han Yuntang was taken aback. He knew that if Shi Hao and the other could sit in the prime seats, their strength must be extraordinary, otherwise, no one would give up that position.
But in his opinion, the two of them might be unbeatable one-on-one, but what about two-on-one or three-on-one?
Do you really think you can take on everyone?
“I’ll allow you to gang up on me,” Han Yuntang graciously said. “This isn’t a match, there’s no need for rules.”
As his words fell, the scene remained dead silent.
At this point, Han Yuntang felt embarrassed.
Where was his authority?
His hands clenched into fists, veins throbbing on his forehead.
Damn it, couldn’t these people read the room and give him a way out of this awkward situation?
“Fine! Fine! Fine!” Han Yuntang stood up in a fury. Such a bunch of country bumpkins, so crude to the core that they lacked even the slightest bit of tact and courage.
No matter, he would take matters into his own hands.
The Han Family’s second young master had just advanced to the primary level martial master the previous year, and with his own strength, he could suppress the collective force of the people before him.
“To show such disrespect to me, you’re truly asking for a beating!” He strode toward Shi Hao and Liu Mang, and upon reaching the table, he suddenly kicked, sending the table flying with a loud bang.
Shi Hao smiled, turning to Liu Mang and said, “Fatty, this opponent is pretty strong, do you want to give it a try?”
“Sure!” Liu Mang didn’t care about the rest. Back in Mengyang City, all he knew was to practice hard at home, but he had also heard about his brother’s great exploits from Guo Xing’s mouth.
With such a brother to back him up, what was there to fear?
Liu Mang stood up abruptly, confronting Han Yuntang head-on.
As the fighting spirit rose, his fear of the powerful receded, and his eyes emitted a fierce, beast-like chill.
Han Yuntang inexplicably felt terror rising. Why did this chubby youth give off such a brutally ferocious vibe?
Liu Mang let out a roar and charged at Han Yuntang.
Tiger Wind Fist was the only martial technique he had learned, and he executed it with all his might.
Naturally, Han Yuntang was unafraid. He launched his Gentle Wind Palm to meet the attack.
Gentle Wind Palm was a treasured martial technique of the Han Family, of the primary level of the monthly grade, boosting strength by a whopping forty percent.
The two were equal in strength, but the quality of their martial techniques was worlds apart. As a result, their combat power was significantly spaced apart, and the fatty was getting beaten back.
However, the fatty had trained in the Tyrant Body Technique and had thick skin, utterly fearless of blows. He was like a wild bear; what did it matter if you hit me a hundred or a thousand times? If I hit you just once, I could turn defeat into victory.
Han Yuntang gnashed his teeth. The power of the martial technique was certainly great, but the drain on his strength was heavy too. Did you think that strength boost was for free?
Speaking of endurance, he certainly couldn’t match the chubby one.
So if he couldn’t end the fight quickly, he would be in trouble.
Lose to a country bumpkin?
Han Yuntang couldn’t accept it. With malice surging up to his gall, he fiercely drew a dagger, and suddenly, the air turned icy cold.
This dagger, crafted from a special metal, was incredibly sharp and could easily tear open even the robust physique of the fatty, inflicting maximum damage.
But before he could stab out with the dagger, he found himself flying through the air.
Shi Hao retracted his foot, frowning as he said, “If you’re going to fight, fight properly. Relying on a weapon for victory is disgraceful!”
“Alrighty.” The chubby one just wanted to broaden his horizons, but now, despite the place being bigger and the decorations more lavish, it didn’t seem all that special.
“St-Stop!” Han Yuntang struggled to his feet, feeling as if a tidal wave had capsized in his stomach, so much so that his guts felt like they were about to spill out.
When had he ever suffered such a loss?
“You dare kick me?” he said, incredulous.
With that, Shi Hao charged over and delivered another kick. Han Yuntang was sent flying again, crashing heavily onto the ground, and passed out cold.
That was just too fierce!
Everyone watched, their jaws twitching, absolutely unable to believe their eyes.
