Chapter 4: Manly Vigor (1/2)

”Damn it! How dare you retaliate!”

”Attack together! Beat him up!”

The remaining few people were furious. They waved their wooden sticks and surrounded him.

However, Jiang Li's cowardly image was completely changed in their minds. Not only did he not hug his head and beg for mercy, he even directly faced them.

His speed was extremely fast. When he got close to one of them, he ruthlessly kicked.

That person reacted quickly and placed the wooden stick in front of his feet.

A crisp crack sounded. After Jiang Li kicked the wooden stick, he did not lose momentum and kicked the other party's abdomen instead, causing his body to be kicked into the air. Then, he flew out, following the footsteps of the first youth.

”You're dead! You're dead! You actually dared to attack Li Chao. Our Li family's Third Duke of the fourth generation has countless troops under him! You and your family are doomed!”

That fellow who was beaten up seemed to have quite a high position in the secular world. A few of the youths surnamed Li's eyes immediately turned red, and they cursed Jiang Li with bloodthirsty and savage threats.

They all dropped their sticks and went to draw their swords from their waists.

However, how could Jiang Li give them a chance? He leaped three steps away, brandishing his sheathed longsword and slashing at their heads. Before they could even draw their weapons, they were already thrown onto the ground, their heads bleeding and unable to get up.

He kicked their weapons away with his foot and then kicked each of them in the stomach. Then, he looked at the two teenagers who were still standing at the end.

At this moment, they had already drawn their swords, but they did not dare to step forward. They stood on the spot, not knowing what to do.

”You! How can you be so strong? You weren't like this before!”

A person who was previously weak and feeble and had been easily beaten half to death by them suddenly possessed such strength and defeated them as if he was bullying a child.

This was completely unacceptable to the seven people who had always been the strongest team in the convoy.

”Jiang Li, what happened earlier was led by Wang Lin and Li Chao. It has nothing to do with us.”

”You have already offended the Wang family and the Li family. Now that you have vented your anger, let us go. We can write off everything that happened in the past. We promise to help you plead for leniency. Otherwise, you and your family will be finished!”

When they saw Jiang Li looking at them, the two of them took two steps back, while speaking in an attempt to intimidate Jiang Li into stopping.

”Oh? Is that so? We're already two countries away from the Great Goose Kingdom, right? If you have the ability to send a message, then give it a try.”

Jiang Li closed in step by step. Their threats were completely useless.

The two youths retreated in fear. One of them accidentally tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground.

Jiang Li took the opportunity to step forward. He brandished his longsword and knocked their longswords to the ground twice.

Then, his tiger claw reached out and grabbed their right arms. After two crisp cracking sounds, their arms drooped down.

They were all pampered second-generation heirs, so how could they endure such pain? They immediately hugged their arms and rolled on the ground, groaning in pain.

It was not until Jiang Li fiercely slapped them twice that they finally stopped crying.

”I advise you not to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, especially you. I'll break your legs if you don't get up and kneel in front of me when I count to ten!”

”One, two, three… Ha, looks like you guys have some backbone.”

Jiang Li counted three times, but none of them moved. They just lay on the ground and looked up at Jiang Li with hatred.

They looked as if they would not kneel down no matter what, and they did not believe that he would dare to do anything against them.

”You guys are really amazing. What gave you the illusion that I'm a good person?”

He picked up a stone the size of a head from the side and walked to the side of Wang Lin, who had been shouting the loudest and taking the lead in beating him up.

The stone fell. Bang! Crack!

Wang Lin's calf immediately bent, and sharp bone fragments even pierced out from his back.

His body instinctively wanted to curl up and hug his broken leg, but Jiang Li stepped on his chest and rendered him unable to move.

He could only scream and scratch his hands on the ground.

”Don't worry, you still have two legs. We'll cheer when I break them all.”

”Ah! No, no, no! Don't! I was wrong! Jiang Li, I was wrong! I'll kneel down! I'll apologize to you! I'll die! Ahhh!”

Wang Lin's screams were heart-wrenching. The others also felt a deep sense of fear in their hearts.

”He's serious! He's really going to break our legs!”

How could a group of thirteen or fourteen year old good-for-nothing kids tolerate this? They had grown up to be tyrannical, but the word ”unyielding” was not in their dictionary.

They were immediately convinced and knelt on the ground with Wang Lin, who was already dragging his broken leg.

”Tell me, are you guys wrong?” Jiang Li hugged his sword and sneered.

”We were wrong! We were wrong! Jiang Li, we were blind in the past. We offended you. We're sorry…”

There was no sincerity in their voices.

”Not bad, good children know when to apologize. I accept your apology. Young masters, what price do you plan to pay to redeem your legs?”

Jiang Li smiled as he looked at their bulging bags. There was bound to be some good stuff inside.

”As the price, hand over your jade tokens and spirit stones!”

If not for Yan Hong's help, his jade token would have been snatched away by those fellows. Now that it was time to repay his enemy, he naturally would not let them off easily.

Upon hearing the jade token and spirit stones, they immediately became agitated. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

”No. Didn't you say you would let us go if we apologized?” Li Chao from the Li family could not help but ask.

After all, spirit stones were things of the cultivation world. Occasionally, one or two of them would fall into the mortal world, which was also a rare treasure.

It was hard to say if all seven of them had ten in total.

”Let you go? I apologized when you hit me, right? Why didn't you let me go? My patience is limited. If you give up, I can choose to kill you first before taking the spirit stones.”

Jiang Li raised the stone again.

Other than Wang Lin and Li Chao, the other five people weighed the pros and cons. If they were to become servant disciples for two years, they would still have a chance to turn things around. However, if their legs were broken now, they might die on the road ahead.

They steeled their hearts and took out a cloth bag one after another, handing them to Jiang Li.

”I'll give you one more chance. If I find hidden ones when I search you, believe me, you'll regret it.” As soon as he said this, the faces of two of them immediately darkened. After thinking about it for a long time, they felt that they could not hide it. In the end, they touched their bodies and placed them in their palms.

Jiang Li counted. Sure enough, everyone had a jade token, but there were only three spirit stones in total.

”Yes, very good. Now, I'll give you another choice.”
