Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Sanctimonious, Kill Them All
Chang Xun couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his expression utterly cold and stern, “Do you mean to say that all these respected and esteemed people are slandering you?”
“Respected and esteemed?” Shi Hao laughed dismissively, “Are you joking with me?”
Chang Xun snorted, “What kind of person am I to joke with you? Are you worthy?”
“Lord Chang, there’s no need to waste words on this little bastard, just kill him now!”
“Yes, kill him! How dare he commit violence in Fuhua Restaurant, this is an insult to the Han Family!”
“Committing violence in public can be punished by death!”
“Please, Lord Chang, take action!”
The shopkeepers from earlier pleaded earnestly with Chang Xun. They knew he was a martial master.
What does it mean to be a martial master?
In Hua Yuan Nation, martial disciples are dime a dozen, but martial masters are already at the upper tier of the pyramid, limited in number.
Even in Mengyang City, a primary-level martial master can become the head of major families, dividing the interests of the city, which shows how rare martial masters are.
Even though they were all defeated by Shi Hao, could a mere sixteen or seventeen-year-old be a martial master?
Under the urging and flattering of people like “Old Qian,” Chang Xun felt he couldn’t back down. Moreover, Shi Hao had indeed committed violence in Fuhua Restaurant, and he couldn’t ignore it.
“Surrender now, or I won’t hesitate to kill you right here,” Chang Xun said coldly.
The consumption level of Fuhua Restaurant is the highest in the whole County Town, but the wealthiest and most influential people like dining here because of its high status.
However, if it couldn’t even maintain basic safety, Fuhua Restaurant was essentially ruining its own reputation.
“Lord Chang, no need to be polite with this kind of country bumpkin!”
“His death is inconsequential!”
The shopkeepers continued to provoke. They had never suffered such a loss.
Shi Hao’s gaze turned cold as he swept it over these people, “It seems you all are tired of living.”
He had originally planned just to teach them a lesson, not wanting to start a slaughter. But these people were asking for it.
Of course, fulfill their wishes.
Chang Xun’s face grew colder. Before him, Shi Hao still dared to speak threats. Didn’t he consider him at all?
“Lord Chang, listen to how arrogant this little beast is!”
The shopkeepers were overjoyed. The more arrogantly Shi Hao acted, the more it would infuriate Chang Xun.
“Young man, you are too arrogant!” Chang Xun spoke grimly, advancing step by step towards Shi Hao, intending to capture him. As for what to do with him, that would be decided later.
Shi Hao didn’t take him seriously at all and walked directly towards “Old Qian.”
“Humph!” Chang Xun was furious and charged at Shi Hao, his hands transforming into claws, his entire demeanor like that of a hawk swooping at its prey.
“Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique!”
“This is Lord Chang’s unique move, a high-tier star-level martial technique.”
“Haha, now that Lord Chang has used this move, it’s sure to be an easy capture!”
“Humph, such a madman should be executed on the streets and his body displayed in the wilderness!”
“Exactly, he must be severely punished to serve as an example!”
The shopkeepers spoke up, humiliated to have been beaten by a youngster.
Just then, a figure flew past, slammed into a wall with incredible speed, and actually smashed a hole through the wooden wall. His buttocks were stuck inside, while his limbs and head stuck out, looking comically absurd.
However, the several managers couldn’t even muster a hint of a smile, each filled with shock, even fear.
Because the person who had been thrown out was none other than Chang Xun.
A mere primary-level martial master, unable to withstand a single strike from this youth?
They saw it clearly, the youth merely threw a casual punch and Chang Xun was sent flying.
So much for the Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique, it was no better than chicken-scratching.
Shi Hao, without stopping, had already walked up to Lord Chang.
“You little beast, what do you think you’re doing?” Lord Chang said while steeling himself.
“Shi Hao, don’t be rash!” Lin Yuyue also spoke up, this was, after all, the County Town, where not even a powerful dragon could oppress the local snake.
Lord Chang was slightly smug, saying, “Listen to your woman, don’t be impulsive. If you dare kill someone here, no one can save—”
He hadn’t even finished his sentence when his head was smashed into his chest, making him considerably shorter instantly as his limbs flailed wildly before he eventually crashed down.
The sight nearly made the other nine managers pee themselves in terror, this youth didn’t respond to threats, committing murder with the ease of an Asura!
Oh my God, they had actually enraged such a being!
Shi Hao had no intention of stopping; he had another person in his sights now.
The manager, stripped of any pride, quickly turned around and knelt, knocking his forehead to the ground repeatedly, “Young Master Shi, spare my life! Young Master Shi, spare my life!”
Shi Hao walked over and kicked him to death.
Were you not all jumping around happily just now, trying to kill me?
For such men, Shi Hao would never be merciful.
Chang Xun hadn’t lost consciousness; he saw very clearly. The managers scattered like birds but couldn’t escape at all, each being chased down by Shi Hao and killed with either a punch or a kick amid continuous screams of agony.
He was horrified. Although these ten managers were not very strong, they were backed by the ten secondary wealthy families of the County Town, each protected by a middle-level martial master.
Put ten families together, and there were definitely twenty middle-level martial masters; joint, they could make even a high-level martial artist flee.
So, the youth was simply too impulsive, youthful, and reckless. Now that he had caused such a disaster, he just had to await the wrath of the ten great families.
Anyway, he had tried his best, and besides, Fuhua Restaurant was backed by the Han Family, one of the top-tier wealthy families. Which secondary family would dare to trouble the Han Family, to trouble him?
Lin Yuyue was at a loss for words too.
She knew Shi Hao’s capabilities. Chang Xun certainly couldn’t best him, but to behave so recklessly in the County Town, wasn’t he afraid he couldn’t handle the consequences?
The County Town, teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, even has martial sect powerhouses!
“Young man, you’ve caused a huge mess!” Chang Xun couldn’t help but say, feeling utterly frustrated.
Shi Hao smiled, “Saying it like that, you’re not very persuasive.”
That comment immediately turned Chang Xun’s face red with embarrassment because his current state, stuck in the wall, was indeed humiliating. Such pretentious words coming from his mouth were seriously counterproductive.
He was choked up for a moment before saying, “If you run now, you still have a slim chance. Otherwise, once the ten families arrive, you won’t have a chance to escape.”
Shi Hao sat down with a laugh, “How do you know I plan to wait for them to come over, and convince them one by one?”
Chang Xun suddenly gaped, displaying a look of disbelief.
That was way too arrogant. Were you really going to sit and wait for them to come kill you?
But before he could even wrap his head around it, he saw Shi Hao stand up again, and he suddenly realized, ah, he’s given in after all.
However, all he heard was Shi Hao’s voice, “Senior Sister Lin, let’s change rooms and eat.”
Chang Xun almost fainted.
You actually still have the appetite to eat?
