Chapter 29 The Elite Lesser Families (2/2)

The gathered crowd were shaking their heads as they muttered among themselves. At that moment, the looks they gave Zhou Donghuang were looks of sympathy, pity, and most of all, regret.

A martial prodigy who could kill a level-two adept at sixteen years of age would be a force to be reckoned with in the country of Yunyang if he was allowed the chance to grow and develop.

But now, he did not seem to have that chance.

“Very imposing, for just three lesser families!” Zhou Donghuang smiled indifferently and stared profoundly at Lu Yuan. “If you want the title deed to Yunxuan Restaurant, come and get it yourself, and show me the ability of a young master from an elite lesser family.”

Zhou Donghuang paused and showed a mocking smile.

Other than Fu, the staff of Yunxuan Restaurant paled in fear. They realized that their boss did not intend to hand over the title deed to Yunxuan Restaurant.

“Zhou Donghuang, although your abilities are strong, they are nothing in the eyes of our three families… you and those around you should prepare themselves to bear the wrath of the Ma family!”

Fang Tianyi laughed coldly and looked at Lu Yuan.

“Lu Yuan, let’s bring Ma Jin back… since he wants to be buried with those close to him, we’ll oblige him.”

“Uncle Gang, bring Ma Jin, let’s go!” Lu Yuan ordered the middle-aged man behind him. He walked towards Ma Jin, who was still trapped under Zhou Donghuang’s foot.

“Did I allow you to leave?”

Before the middle-aged man Lu Gang could reach Ma Jin, Zhou Donghuang spoke again.

Although his expression was as calm as before and his tone as indifferent as before, there was now a cold gleam in Zhou Donghuang’s eyes.

“Coming as you wish, going as you wish… do you think you are playing house?”

The people before him were obviously here for the title deed to Yunxuan Restaurant. If his ability could not match theirs, they would already have taken the title deed to Yunxuan Restaurant, and he would not have had a pleasant fate.

“Zhou Donghuang, you’d better think carefully… if you dare lay a finger on us, you will have irrevocably offended the Fang family and the Lu family.”

Fang Tianyi’s expression changed as he discerned from Zhou Donghuang’s words that he intended to do them harm.

Lu Yuan’s expression had also changed.

“Zhou Donghuang, although your ability is without question, there are many in the Lu family who are able to dispose of you,” Lu Gang told Zhou Donghuang with a threatening expression.

“Does that include you?” Zhou Donghuang smiled derisively.

“You think I’m afraid of you?”

Lu Gang was a level-two adept, and with his sword in hand, he was confident in himself. Staring fiercely at Zhou Donghuang, he brandished his sword, showing off the gleaming edge of the keen blade.

“If you survive one exchange, I’ll let you all leave unharmed.” Zhou Donghuang grinned, angering Lu Gang till his face turned red. With a flicker of his body, his legs began to move quickly.

Star-Stepping Footwork!

Zhou Donghuang’s speed was so great that the only thing everyone around saw was a blur of white.

Lu Gang only reacted after Zhou Donghuang had covered half the distance between them, the sword in his hand whistling through the air, sunlight reflecting brilliantly from the blade.

Whoosh!!

It had to be said that Lu Gang was an excellent swordsman. He swung his sword horizontally across Zhou Donghuang’s path, and if Zhou Donghuang did not reduce his speed, he would meet the sword’s edge head-on.

But could flesh and blood withstand a meeting with the edge of a sword?

Obviously not.

Just as everyone concluded that Zhou Donghuang would choose to retreat against the sword stroke of Lu Gang, Zhou Donghuang still showed no intention of slowing down.

It was as though he was trying to get himself sliced in half by Lu Gang.

“Looking for death!?”

Seeing this, Lu Yuan and Fang Tianyi laughed coldly as one, and their hearts unclenched because from Lu Gang’s reaction. They thought Lu Gang was no match for Zhou Donghuang, but now it seemed that Zhou Donghuang was no match for Lu Gang.

“Boss!”

Fu’s expression changed.

Trying to kill himself!

Just when the sword in Lu Gang’s hand was closing in on Zhou Donghuang, and he felt that Zhou Donghuang would be dead in the next moment, Zhou Donghuang’s hand shot out like lightning, his palm sweeping downwards towards the face of the sword.

What a pathetic skill!

Seeing this, Lu Gang snorted in derision and turned the sword such that the blade was angled towards Zhou Donghuang’s descending palm.

“Not bad, it’s a pity that you’re too inexperienced… when you enter the gates of hell, remember that the man who killed you was Lu Gang of the Lu family!”

Under these circumstances, it had to be said that Lu Gang’s mastery of the sword was impressive, given how he had adjusted the direction of the blade with such speed.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang’s palm would not be able to avoid meeting the keen edge of Lu Gang’s sword.
