Chapter 286: Chapter 279: The High and Mighty Dragon Vein Master

Yan Qing clutched her snow-white forehead in some agony, unable to fathom that Bai Yan had truly splashed wine across Ma Mubo’s face.

Now, the situation had completely blown up!

"Mr. Ma, I’m so sorry, so sorry!"

Yan Qing hurriedly stood up, hoping to do something for Bai Yan.

Bai Yan stopped Yan Qing with his hand, his expression indifferent as he looked at Ma Mubo.

"Mr. Bai, is this really the appropriate way to behave?"

Ma Mubo’s mouth twitched, and he struggled to hold back the rage in his heart, taking a deep breath and gently wiping his face with a tissue from the side.

He was indeed adept at playing it cool; even getting a faceful of wine didn’t make him blow his top.

"Appropriate? I think it’s perfectly fine."

Bai Yan shrugged his shoulders, smiling merrily at Ma Mubo: "You’re so low, you deserve to be doused with wine!"

Ma Mubo’s face darkened, but he said nothing.

Bai Yan turned to look at the seventh son of the Liu family, sizing him up and down: "As for what you said just now..."

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, daring to demand that I drink and kowtow to you? Are you even worthy?"

Bai Yan’s arrogance was extreme, not feeling the slighest danger in his current predicament.

Yan Qing’s pretty face was full of helplessness; she had finally understood what Master Blood Dragon meant by "this kid has a foul temper". Mr. Bai’s temperament was not just foul; he simply wouldn’t tolerate any provocation!

"You’re too arrogant, kid!"

The boss of the seventh sons from the Liu family was stunned, then burst out angrily: "It’s already very magnanimous of us brothers not to demand your life in retribution!"

"Magnanimity?"

Bai Yan laughed. Could the Liu Family Martial Arts Sect really uphold such so-called magnanimity?

"It’s nothing more than seeking revenge, after all. If you want vengeance, just get it over with! Let’s follow the rules and fight a life-and-death match in the Arena!"

Zhang Liang, who had been watching with a cold eye, suddenly spoke up, "I’m pressed for time, and I have important matters to attend to in my search for the Dragon Vein successors; I don’t have time to waste with you all!"

"But... but Mr. Bai is a Hua Xia prodigy, esteemed by Master Blood Dragon!"

Ma Mubo feigned a surprised shout, his mouth curling into a strange smile.

Not mentioning Master Blood Dragon was one thing, but as soon as he did, it only increased Zhang Liang’s distaste. The relationships between the Dragon Vein Families and Master Blood Dragon had always been strained.

"A prodigy?"

Zhang Liang gave Bai Yan a dismissive glance and laughed: "In my eyes, the ’prodigy’ of you Abnormals is nothing but a useless person! Kill him quickly if you must kill, and don’t delay my important affairs!"

The seven sons of the Liu family each sneered coldly, with the boss speaking nastily: "I agree with Mr. Zhang’s words, old Ma. Stop pretending to be a good person. We’re here today for that kid’s damned life!"

"Indeed, finding the successor of the Dragon Vein is a matter of utmost importance. How could we let this kid delay Mr. Zhang’s great endeavor!"

"No more prattling, kill him!"

"Get in the Arena; fight a life-or-death battle! Kid, do you dare?"

The seven sons of the Liu family made no effort to hide their murderous intent, but Bai Yan seemed oblivious; instead, he looked at Zhang Liang with interest.

Zhang Liang raised his head and locked eyes with Bai Yan briefly.

Zhang Liang’s gaze was filled with profound indifference, as if he was looking at an ant.

"Your name is Bai Yan, right?"

Zhang Liang looked down, fidgeting with his fingers, his tone laced with a hint of scorn and command: "Sensibly go and fight the life-and-death match; it’s a rule of the Abnormal World. Even if Master Blood Dragon came today, he couldn’t save you, because this is a struggle between the young Heavenly Prides."

Zhang Liang’s tone was lofty, his use of "you all" flowing naturally as if he was born superior to everyone present.

"You think I’m going to fight a life-or-death match just because you say so? Who do you think you are?"

Bai Yan laughed, pointing at Zhang Liang’s nose.

"A bunch of trash, staging such a so-called banquet to coerce me? Utterly delusional!"

Bai Yan’s tone was even more arrogant than Zhang Liang’s, filled with contempt.

Did these people really think he was a pushover to be trifled with? Did the Liu Family Martial Arts Sect think that by joining forces with the young Heavenly Prides of three major powers, they could strangle him within the rules?

How naïve!

"Mr. Bai, please hold back on some of your comments!"

Yan Qing sighed, genuinely worried that Bai Yan would suffer at the hands of these few individuals.

Especially the young and powerful S-ranked Dragon Vein controller, Zhang Liang, who wielded Dragon Vein Power, was the most formidable person present!

What was most critical was Zhang Liang’s famously narrow-mindedness; if Bai Yan offended him, the situation would likely be difficult to resolve.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Qing stood up with her delicate hand holding Bai Yan’s, smiled politely, and said, "Thank you all for your hospitality today. I’m feeling a bit unwell and would like to go back to rest; please forgive us for not being able to accompany you any longer."

After speaking, Yan Qing attempted to leave the dining table with Bai Yan in tow.

"Don’t make this difficult for me, Bai Yan."

Yan Qing quietly pleaded while holding tightly onto Bai Yan’s hand.

Bai Yan indifferently glanced over everyone and chose to heed Yan Qing’s request, not wishing to make things difficult for her.

The seventh son of the Liu Family’s expression changed; they had finally cornered Bai Yan today, and they couldn’t let him go so easily!

But before the seventh son of the Liu Family could speak, Zhang Liang spoke up.

"Yan Qing, out of respect for your elders, you can leave, but this kid can’t."

Zhang Liang raised his head, a hint of anger in his indifferent eyes as he declared, "Since I’ve been entrusted by the Ma Family and the Liu Family, I certainly can’t stand idly by. There will be a life-or-death battle today. Whether he wants to fight or not, he must fight!"

Zhang Liang’s words were filled with an undeniable command, as if he were a king high above, able to determine Bai Yan’s life and death at will, not even requiring a personal effort.

"You’re quite full of yourself."

Bai Yan laughed, a radiant smile on his face, as he turned, pushed aside Yan Qing’s clinging arm, and pointed at the crowd with a laugh, "If that’s the case, then I’ll accept the challenge. All seven of you..."

"And you too, Ma Mubo, Zhang Liang! All come at me together!"

Bai Yan proudly stood at the entrance of the private room, arrogantly sneering, "My time is limited, and we don’t need to head to the life-and-death arena. Come at me together, so I don’t have to kill you one by one!"

As the final word "kill" was uttered, the Evil Aura of the Level 4 Demon’s Abyssal Cerberus violently exploded, a wave of extremely malevolent presence spread out, filled with tangible murderous intent!

The aura around Bai Yan soared, filling the entire private room—terrifying and explosive!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The wine glasses and porcelain plates at the feast couldn’t withstand Bai Yan’s aura and shattered violently.

"Not bad, quite the impressive aura."

Zhang Liang laughed, then calmly remarked, "But aura doesn’t represent actual strength. You’re not qualified to fight me yet!"

Bai Yan slightly raised an eyebrow. This Mr. Zhang had been presumptuous from the start, never even bothering to look Bai Yan in the eye.

Was it that all Dragon Vein controllers were so full of themselves? Thinking they became superior simply by possessing the Dragon Vein?

"Yes! Mr. Zhang is right; do you think being praised as a Hua Xia prodigy means you can be invincible in the world?"

"There are many young prodigies more powerful than you! As a Dragon Vein controller, what right do you have to make Mr. Zhang lay a finger on you?"

"He doesn’t even know what a Dragon Vein controller is, nor does he understand how powerful Mr. Zhang truly is!"

"You’re not even worthy to carry Mr. Zhang’s shoes; we alone are enough to deal with you!"

The seventh son of the Liu Family stepped forward with a sneer, his tone filled with reverence for Zhang Liang and murderous intent towards Bai Yan.

Dragon Vein controllers were scarce on the vast lands of Hua Xia, and not everyone within the Dragon Vein Family had the ability to control it. Among this generation’s young prodigies of Hua Xia, very few could rival Zhang Liang.

It could be said that if the outstanding young Abnormals of the Nine Extremes Families were considered the Heavenly Prides of Hua Xia, then Zhang Liang would be the unrivaled Heavenly Pride of the land!

His status and strength far surpassed that of an average Abnormal!

Ma Mubo casually wiped the stains off his cheek with a napkin, a smile growing denser at the corners of his mouth. Everything was within his control.

This kid Bai Yan had managed to offend both the Ma and Liu Families and had been disrespectful to Mr. Zhang; his fate was sealed today!

"Kid, it’s only because Mr. Zhang is patient. If it were me, you’d be thoroughly dead the next second!"

The eldest of the Liu Family stepped out and pointed at Bai Yan’s nose as he coldly chuckled.

"But you don’t need Mr. Zhang to take action; you’ll die here today regardless!"

"The blood debt of the Liu Family Martial Arts Sect must be repaid by you!"

As his words fell, the seven sons of the Liu Family rapidly surrounded Bai Yan. The presence of seven A+ ranked Abnormals firmly locked onto Bai Yan, their boiling murderous intent spreading.

Zhang Liang remained seated calmly, not even lifting his eyelids, sipping his drink at leisure; a mere Bai Yan was far from being a worthy opponent for him.
