Chapter 480: Chapter 476: Only One Battle Left

By the time Lu Tianxing walked into Bai’s Group with a fried dough stick in one hand and a cup of soy milk in the other, grinning from ear to ear, it was already eleven in the morning, nearly time for lunch break.

Lu Tianxing didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty for being late. After all, the entire Bai’s Group belonged to his wife. What did it matter if he was late? Who could do anything to him?

Besides, he had been busy all night and had been "drained" by Rose, that enchantress, in the morning. If he didn’t replenish his energy, he was bound to exhaust himself to the point of kidney deficiency sooner or later.

Seeing Lu Tianxing blatantly eating breakfast in the office, others were taken aback for a moment before they bowed their heads, pretending not to see, and continued with their own work.

Ever since Lin Yao was imprisoned, in everyone’s eyes, not only did Lu Tianxing have an extraordinary background, but he also had a ruthless streak. If you crossed Lu Tianxing, he could dig up your ancestors eighteen generations back. If it ever got reported to Bai Zhiqing, that would be enough to give them a hard time. They might even lose their well-paid jobs.

Lu Tianxing ate his fried dough stick and drank his soy milk leisurely, heading straight to the elevator and making his way to the top floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Lu Tianxing saw Lan Xin sitting at her desk with a sullen face, stabbing a white paper with a pen, her expression screaming "I’m in a terrible mood, don’t mess with me."

"What’s wrong, little beauty? Who upset you? You seem to be in a bad mood; you could hang a few bottles of soy sauce on that pout," Lu Tianxing said with a smile as he walked over.

"Mind your own business! Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important; I’m already irritated," snapped Lan Xin, looking at Lu Tianxing.

Unperturbed by Lan Xin’s attitude, Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, "Let me guess why you’re upset. Is it because your parents are forcing you to go on a blind date, or is it that your boyfriend can’t satisfy you, or maybe you’ve gone through a breakup? Or is it your time of the month...?"

As Lu Tianxing’s words became more and more inappropriate, Lan Xin stood up from her chair with a whoosh, fists clenched tight: "Lu Tianxing, I’m warning you, don’t provoke me. Otherwise, I’ll punch you until your face is blooming like a peach flower. Believe it or not."

"Also, instead of having time to worry about my business, you might as well be concerned about your own. A man has come for Mr. Bai and is in his office right now. Be careful he doesn’t steal your position. You won’t even have a place to cry when that happens, hmph."

"A man looking for Mr. Bai?"

Lu Tianxing frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"How would I know? But you can tell that man is bad news just by looking at him. He’s as annoying as you are, no, even more so. I’ve never met a man more shameless than you until today. There’s always someone stronger, and someone even more shamelessly low. You’re now in second place," she said.

Hearing Lan Xin’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face was covered in black lines. What kind of talk was that? Was she complimenting him or despising him?

Lan Xin, all huffed up, said, "This man is even more shameless than you. He barged into Mr. Bai’s office without knocking, and even asked me to make tea for him. If Mr. Bai hadn’t stopped me, I would have really liked to punch him in the face. And those security guards, I don’t know what they’re even here for. They didn’t even notice someone breaking into the chairman’s office."

"You keep thinking about how to teach him a lesson; I need to see who dared to hit on my wife," Lu Tianxing said and went straight to the chairman’s office. Capable of entering Bai’s Group and going unnoticed by security, he had already guessed who this person might be.

"Go for it, Assistant Lu! Don’t be scared. I support you in spirit. I hope you’ll really teach him a lesson," Lan Xin said, waving her fists behind him.

"No problem," Lu Tianxing agreed, feeling that this person indeed deserved a beating.

He pushed open the door and entered, seeing Sima Lingyun casually enjoying his tea in the office. Lu Tianxing was not surprised and said with annoyance, "Sima Lingyun, what are you doing here?"

"Can’t I come to see an old friend?" said Sima Lingyun, putting down his teacup and smiling at Lu Tianxing: "It seems you’ve been doing quite well recently, making quite a name for yourself in Modu."

"Old friend? I’m afraid we can hardly be considered old friends!" retorted Lu Tianxing as he lit a cigarette and spoke slowly, "Sima Lingyun, let’s not beat around the bush. State your purpose for coming here today. If it’s nothing, please leave. You’re not welcome here, and besides, you’re so ugly you might scare my wife."

"You talk to me like this, aren’t you afraid I’ll turn against you? Your strength is formidable, but others might not withstand a single blow from me," said Sima Lingyun with a smirk, as an intense Sword Intent burst forth from his body, solidifying almost tangibly as it thrust towards Lu Tianxing’s chest.

In an instant, a heavy Sword Intent filled the room. Bai Zhiqing’s face turned pale immediately; she felt as if countless sharp swords were slicing her skin, causing it to hurt intermittently.

"Sima Lingyun, don’t go too far," she said.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s pale face, Lu Tianxing’s own face turned livid with rage. He blocked in front of her, his aura bursting forth in an instant, fiercely colliding with Sima Lingyun’s Sword Intent.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound erupted, conjuring a gust of wind that swept around them. Both Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun grunted and took a step back, stabilizing themselves only slowly.

"Sima Lingyun, mind your attitude. If you dare to harm them in any way, I assure you that from this day forward, aside from you and a bunch of old immortals in the Yanhuang Group, I will leave none of the others alive. State your purpose and then get the hell out of here."

Lu Tianxing glared at Sima Lingyun, his eyes flickering with a cold murderous intent.

"Judge, your strength has indeed improved a great deal. It seems you’ll break through to the Mythical Realm before long."

Sima Lingyun noted how easily Lu Tianxing had disrupted his attack, his eyes gleaming with light and a thick fighting spirit radiating from him: "Today, I came here for one simple reason, to fight with you."

To fight with the Judge, Lu Tianxing, was his true purpose in coming to Modu. Just like Lu Tianxing, his strength had reached a bottleneck, and to break through from the Heavenly Peak to the Mythical Realm, he needed to fight, to find that opportunity for a breakthrough. Besides, Sima Lingyun was eager to see whether he was stronger than Lu Tianxing, or if it was the other way around.

"What if I refuse?"

Lu Tianxing sneered. He did want to fight Sima Lingyun to see the gap between them, to use Sima Lingyun as an opportunity to break into the Mythical Realm, but Sima Lingyun’s recent behavior had irked him considerably.

"No problem, I don’t mind meddling in the affairs of the Wang Family, and you know my character. The Rose Society dared to threaten the Yanhuang Group and disrupt social stability last time; I have every right to eradicate the Rose Society and turn them to dust in Modu," Sima Lingyun said with a smile.

"Sima Lingyun, do you think you can stop me? Nobody I want dead has ever been saved, and nobody I want protected has ever been killed, not by you alone, at least," said Lu Tianxing with a cold laugh.

"I know you’re very strong, but what if the entire Yanhuang Group takes action?"

"Don’t go too far, Sima Lingyun," Lu Tianxing said in a low voice.

"I’m not going too far, I just want a battle with you, that’s all. If you agree, I naturally won’t meddle in this matter."

"Fine, you want a battle, you’ll get a battle. I really want to see what abilities this so-called number one talent of the Yanhuang Group possesses."

Lu Tianxing’s gaze settled on Sima Lingyun, his eyes alight with wild fighting intent. Since a battle was inevitable, then let there be one. A Judge of such status should not fear to fight.

"Likewise."

Sima Lingyun’s eyes narrowed slightly before suddenly opening wide, his entire presence like an unsheathed sword, with Sword Qi slashing in every direction, tiny strands of Sword Qi even visibly circling him.

"This place is too cramped. How about, we find another location?"

Leaving those words behind, Lu Tianxing turned and walked towards the exit.

Without any hesitation, Sima Lingyun followed Lu Tianxing’s lead. A fight without being able to exert full power was meaningless; the essence and charm of a fight lay in its uninhibited ferocity.

Bai Zhiqing gazed in bewilderment as Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun left the office. She had never seen Lu Tianxing wear such a serious expression, not even when they faced an assassination attempt in the Sining Cemetery last time. He now looked as if he were preparing for a formidable adversary.

"Bang!"

The sound of the office door closing startled Bai Zhiqing back to reality.

Bai Zhiqing blinked in surprise, then tossed aside the folder in her hand and quickly followed after Lu Tianxing out of the office.

As Lan Xin wondered where Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun were heading, she saw Bai Zhiqing hurrying out of the office with an anxious expression and quickly went up to her: "Mr. Bai, where are you going? Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need, Secretary Lan. Stay here. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them I had something urgent to attend to and stepped out. If I don’t return this afternoon, they can come looking for me tomorrow," Bai Zhiqing said, and before Lan Xin could reply, she rushed into the elevator.

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing was filled with urgency. She had come to the conclusion that Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun were definitely not old friends but more like mortal enemies. Otherwise, why would they come to blows upon meeting? Furthermore, it was evident from their conversation and attitude that their proposed "match" was far from the restrained sparring often depicted in TV dramas; instead, it bore the grim taste of a battle with a formidable rival, a fight to the death. This was her greatest fear; she dreaded that something might happen to Lu Tianxing, and it was clear from the conversation that Sima Lingyun had considerable backing and evidently came from the same place as the two men who previously captured Lu Tian.
