Chapter 128: Chapter 103: You’re Useless Even With the Opportunity! [4K]_2

"You, you lead people to snatch our livelihood and act violently on the street. Do you really think no one can deal with you, given so many people present here..."

Uttering this sentence through clenched teeth, his mouth filled with blood, Xu Fu showed not the slightest hesitation but instead curled a smile on his lips, not even bothering to look back, merely asking with a grin.

"How about it? Are you also dissatisfied?"

The crowd present was silent.

"If so, feel free to come at me together."

A simple sentence exuded sheer dominance, rendering the many onlookers speechless, to the extent that even a few cultivators standing in front of Counter No. 5 merely frowned.

Even the elder who was writing a commission looked over for a few seconds, as he was already accustomed to such disturbances.

Whether in the entire Cultivation World or just Shuangfeng City, the cultivators within it were always amid a cycle of renewal. Every time newcomers arrive, there are always some who are blind enough to challenge the authority of Purple Cloud Pavilion here.

And every time, a batch of monkeys needed to be killed to frighten the other chickens. Looking at this, it could only be said that yesterday Yu Ying did not sufficiently make the cultivators of this city constrain themselves.

"Seems like no one objects. Perhaps someone can deal with me, but definitely not you, kid. How come you’re not taking out your magic treasure?"

The smile on his face didn’t waver; he even continued to lift his left hand. Seeing that Xu Fu was about to slap himself again, he immediately became stern and struggled fiercely with all his might, even having a large clump of his hair pulled out.

But this corpulent fellow was like a specter, his body flashing as he followed up with a kick straight to the lower abdomen.

That kick, clean and precise, angling directly at the Dantian, caused the opponent to suddenly vomit blood with a "wah!"

With hands clasped behind his back and approaching step by step, Xu Fu never let the simple, honest smile fade from his face. Jiang Feng now finally understood why he was appointed as shopkeeper and why he brought him to this Immortal Pavilion.

Knowing that yesterday his senior sister had personally instructed Yu Ying to take good care of him, and since she couldn’t make it due to soul backlash, it was only proper to dispatch someone whose position within the entire Purple Cloud Pavilion was second only to hers.

That was the chubby man before him, whose mere walk made a crowd make way.

With each step closer, that cultivator was clutching his abdomen in agony, noticing this madman still wanted to commit violence, and thus he immediately bellowed out with a fierce yet fearful expression!

"You, you... don’t come any closer! Does Purple Cloud Palace truly wish to declare war against our Valley of Devotion!? Once I report this matter to our Valley Master..."

A kick straight to the jaw.

Without using any Spiritual Energy, relying only on his powerful physical condition, he beat the other side so they couldn’t fight back at all. This kind of pure violence made it even harder for people to muster the will to resist, sending shivers down the spines of onlookers, none of whom dared step forward to interfere.

Actually, Xu Fu generally had good relations with others; it’s just unfortunate there were always people trying to challenge the status of Purple Cloud Pavilion. After several such exchanges, he then smilingly inquired, puffing out his bulging belly.

"I’ve heard you wish to have your lousy Valley of Devotion wage war with us?"

"You... if you do not stop now, I will definitely report this affair to the sect..."

His face written with pain, feeling as if every bone in his body was broken, he uttered a fuzzy voice, but Xu Fu simply nodded and put his hand on his waist.

In full view of everyone, he actually threw down a piece of talisman paper.

"Go on, report it to your Valley Master, I too am keen to see the capability of your sect."

This move surprised everyone present, even thinking the man before them was insane.

His mouth quivered.

Ignorance breeds fearlessness; from the beginning to the end, they were unaware of the real realm of Xu Fu and the mysterious Yu Ying Pavilion Master.

Always threatening others, speaking of instigating discord between two sects and starting a war. Yet, when truly given the opportunity, he became afraid.

His fear was not only of the grinning man before him but also of the gaze of others.

The sort of look one gives to an idiot made him genuinely feel dread. He always thought his sect’s possession of a Nascent Soul Stage expert would propel it into the ranks of the first-tier sects today. But standing before him, Xu Fu didn’t even change his expression, as if he didn’t take it seriously at all.

"You, just wait, our Valley Master is a Nascent Soul Stage expert! He’ll make sure to annihilate everyone from Purple Cloud Pavilion to quench his rage!"

With a roar, he pretended to reach for the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, because he noticed the man before him’s expression remained unchanged, even carrying a hint of disdain.

Why wasn’t he scared?

Such doubts arose in his heart, but as he was about to grab the talisman, the surrounding murmurs gave him the answer.

"This youngster is only at the Foundation Establishment and dares to talk big like this. He must have never died before."

"So what if it’s Nascent Soul? Daring to provoke Purple Cloud Palace? Really doesn’t know if it’s youthful foolishness or just stupidity. If he really uses that talisman, I’m afraid he’s going to get his entire family killed."

"Your bet on how long? I bet they’ll be wiped out within a month."

"Half a month has almost passed."

"Not to mention Purple Cloud Palace, just a Yu Ying alone could probably annihilate their entire sect, couldn’t she? I recall several Nascent Soul cultivators have died at her hands already."

"It’s more than that. Over a decade ago when she first arrived in Shuangfeng City, she killed five or six Nascent Soul experts. If it wasn’t for the king of Long Country later sending his general here, Yu Ying might have been able to rule this region as the local tyrant. By now, the number’s probably not less than ten..."

The increasing discussions around him made the man sprawled on the ground’s heartbeat race frantically, his eyes filled with disbelief, unwilling to accept the reality as his faith crumbled.

He had intended to reach out for that piece of talisman paper, but his hand was frozen mid-air, not moving an inch.

His arm began to tremble, as he continuously psyched himself up, swearing to avenge this arrow’s grievance, yet his violently shaking body betrayed his inner turmoil.

"Pick it up."

Xu Fu even kicked the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman a bit closer with his foot.

Directly in front of the man.

"I told you to pick up the talisman paper, pick up the talisman paper!"

The tone suddenly intensified, and seeing the man in front of him too scared to move, Xu Fu raised his leg and delivered a kick! The sound of bones breaking echoed; the man collapsed, weakened on the ground, barely clinging to life.

With a lift of his palm, he attracted the talisman paper into his hand. In a flash, he reappeared before the man, who now had eyes filled with panic, without a trace of his previous arrogance.

But this time Xu Fu did not continue to beat him, but rather lightly patted his face with his hand, his gaze almost like one inspecting some sort of livestock.

"I gave you a chance and you wasted it."

"Do you think you have the qualifications to play games with me, Xu Fu?"

"Daring to challenge Purple Cloud Pavilion, are you even worthy?"

Thud!

The final kick.

It was like kicking a dead dog aside on the road. It must be said, his mid-grade Foundation Establishment strength did have some merit; he managed to hold on despite the beating and didn’t faint on the spot.

Although his eyes brimmed with resentment, he didn’t dare utter another word.

Afterward, Xu Fu turned around and looked at Jiang Feng, scaring him to the point his heart tightened.

"Took care of a little trouble, Young Master Jiang, let’s go."

Fortunately, when Xu Fu faced him, he still wore that simple and honest smile, even walking with a wobbly, somewhat comical gait.

Wrong, not comical now, it was the bearing of a master.

Silently following this man through a series of twists and turns in various alleys, Jiang was astounded at how this seemingly honest and plump fellow could be so ruthless, truly a hidden depth.

Soon, Manager Xu broke the silence.

"Young Master Jiang, do you plan to depart now or rest for a couple of days? Although I can’t get you a backdoor deal, I can still get you a couple of ordinary weapons."

As if nothing had happened just now, Xu Fu still wore that honest smile, only...

His robe was splattered with someone else’s blood.

"No need, no need, I have my own weapons. But I really must thank you for the trouble this time; I didn’t expect to stir up such a mess because of a commission. I plan to depart now in the hopes of gaining something before reaching the sect."

"That’s very good, in which case, I’ll accompany you this far. I hope for your triumphant return, Young Master Jiang."

Unknowingly, the two had reached the city gates. It was only then that Jiang Feng realized that after passing through various alleys, they had come straight to the city gates.

He cupped his hands in salute, the Xu Fu in front of him - as long as he wasn’t provoked - was still quite easy to speak to. Jiang Feng nodded, ready to leave the city, but soon remembered something.

"Oh, right, how is Pavilion Master Yu Ying today?"

He was asking knowingly.

But Xu Fu wasn’t aware of what exactly happened yesterday, and seemed a bit puzzled, still he honestly replied,

"She’s had orders not to be disturbed for the last three days. Come to think of it, it is a bit strange. Could it be..."

"She’s not feeling well for a few days every month?"
