Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Beaten and Flee
Word had it that, after leaving Houde Restaurant, the three men from Kong Yangzhou immediately went to Starwind Academy in search of Shi Hao.
However, Shi Hao did not live there, so naturally, they could only be disappointed.
But this was no obstacle for them.
After all, they were descendants of various minor families from the Imperial Capital, each with their own networks of contacts. Once mobilized, they quickly discovered Shi Hao’s whereabouts.
“Hehe, turns out he’s rented a courtyard outside.”
“Perfect, let’s tear down his house too.”
“Hahaha, at the academy, we didn’t dare to cause damage, but a civilian house? Humph!”
The trio all sneered. To brown-nose Luo Chen, they didn’t mind making the trip, but for a mere country bumpkin to think they needed to take action personally, he definitely deserved a good lesson.
They arrived at Shi Hao’s rented courtyard in no time.
“Hehe,” Kong Yangzhou chuckled, not bothering to knock, but punching straight out, and with a crash, the door was smashed open.
He was a high-level martial disciple!
In Starwind Academy, the top expert of the time was but a mid-level martial disciple at his peak, yet in Imperial Capital Academy, high-level martial disciples were a dime a dozen.
This was the Imperial Capital, this was Imperial Capital Academy.
The trio swaggered into the courtyard, naturally not taking a country bumpkin seriously.
At this moment, Shi Hao and the fatty naturally came out as well.
“What’s gotten into you?” the fatty immediately roared. Although they were keeping a low profile in their conduct nowadays, when someone overstepped, there was naturally no need to hold back.
Kong Yangzhou chuckled, looking at Shi Hao and said, “I remember now, you’re Shi Hao.”
So good-looking, it’s hard to forget.
“Right, I’ve recalled as well,” Zhang Binbai also nodded.
Hou Taihua didn’t speak, but the look he gave Shi Hao was full of jealousy.
Such a good-looking young man, truly irritating.
“So what?” the fatty bellowed back.
“Nothing much, just here to give you a beating,” said Kong Yangzhou blandly.
“Stone, can I beat them up?” the fatty looked at Shi Hao.
“A few stray cats and dogs, do as you please,” Shi Hao said indifferently.
“Roger that!” the fatty rolled up his sleeves, brimming with ferocity.
“Two small-timers from the countryside, daring to speak so boldly!” Kong Yangzhou scoffed.
The fatty said nothing more and charged forward.
The three from Kong Yangzhou only saw a blur, as the fatty rushed over like a bolt of lightning, startling them.
How could there be such an agile fatty?
The fatty was already upon them, throwing punches as he came.
The three from Kong Yangzhou hurriedly joined forces to resist, but how could mere high-level martial disciples be a match for a Martial Sect?
Bang, just one punch, and all three were down.
They couldn’t believe it. The three of them, together, couldn’t withstand even one move from the fatty.
How vast was the disparity in strength?
At last, they understood why Shi Hao was able to represent the academy in battles two years in a row— even the person by his side was so powerful, he must be even stronger.
The fatty dusted off his hands and said calmly, “Speak, who sent you?”
Having just arrived, he and Shi Hao couldn’t possibly have offended anyone, and yet suddenly these three scions showed up at their doorstep—there had to be a problem.
The three from Kong Yangzhou still played tough and refused to talk.
“Break their legs,” Shi Hao commanded indifferently.
“Sure!” After the incident with the Murong Family abduction, the fatty’s personality had also become more resolute and cold. With a snap, he didn’t hesitate to stomp down, crushing Kong Yangzhou’s shinbone.
“Ah—” Kong Yangzhou screamed in agony, and tears streamed down his face.
“You’ve got guts, do you know who we are?” Hou Taihua exclaimed in shock and rage when he saw the fatty’s foot move above him, and quickly played the card of “do you know who we are.”
“Who cares who you are!” The fatty stomped down again, and with a snap, Hou Taihua’s calf was brutally broken.
Zhang Binbai trembled with fear, who exactly were these two, and why were they so vicious?
“We are from the Zhang Family, the Hou Family, and the Kong Family, with high-ranking martial masters in our clans!” he claimed, bracing himself.
“Just a high-ranking martial master and you dare to boast?” the fatty scoffed. “I’m even a Martial Sect!”
Of course, the three from Kong Yangzhou didn’t believe him, but they realized that these two men were daring to the extreme and didn’t take their family backgrounds seriously at all.
The fatty stepped down again, breaking Zhang Binbai’s calf as well.
The fatty giggled and moved in front of Kong Yangzhou, “Time for the other leg.”
“No!” Kong Yangzhou shook his head frantically, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! We are here on Young Master Luo’s orders.”
“Young Master Luo?” the fatty murmured—who was that?
But Shi Hao felt a stir in his heart and said, “Luo Chen?”
“Yes,” the three from Kong Yangzhou nodded simultaneously.
Great, he hadn’t even sought Luo Chen for revenge yet, but the guy had already come knocking first.
After some thought, Shi Hao said, “Fatty, break both of their legs and then throw them out.”
“How about we also crush the third leg?” Fatty excitedly suggested.
“…As you wish,” Shi Hao said indifferently.
Fatty hee-heed with a laugh and glanced over at the three from Kong Yangzhou.
“No!” The three of them screamed in unison as they found Fatty’s gaze to be terrifying.
Soon, they screeched in pain before Fatty threw them out one by one.
“Damn it!” Tears flowed from Kong Yangzhou’s eyes as well. His legs had been savagely broken, and now the broken bones pierced into his flesh, causing him to shudder in pain.
“Let’s go find Young Master Luo!”
They stopped a passing carriage and hurried towards Houde Restaurant.
Before long, they arrived at their destination.
Luo Chen was still waiting in the private room for them. Seeing the door pushed open, he spoke in annoyance, “What took you so—huh?”
The three had left standing; how had they returned crawling?
“Young Master Luo, you must stand up for us!” the three from Kong Yangzhou cried.
“What happened?” Luo Chen said in a deep voice.
Once the trio from Kong Yangzhou explained, Luo Chen’s brows furrowed as well.
There was a fatty by Shi Hao’s side?
Of course, he didn’t believe Shi Hao could have improved much in just a year, especially since he knew he had personally crippled Shi Hao’s meridians, leaving him unable to cultivate.
So, who was this fatty?
Could it be that Shi Hao had used his “beauty” to bewitch this strong fatty?
“Three pieces of trash!” he thought disdainfully, then rose to his full height, “Alright, I’ll go have a look.”
The three from Kong Yangzhou didn’t follow; their calves were completely broken and needed proper rest.
Luo Chen was not foolish, knowing the fatty’s strength was unfathomable, it wouldn’t be wise to rashly confront him.
He considered it and told the trio from Kong Yangzhou to return to their family first and call for reinforcements.
Your family has been attacked, how can you not fight back?
Soon, a team of ten people marched mightily towards Shi Hao’s residence.
