Chapter 97: 099: Calm down! Don’t act rashly! (Ten Chapters in a burst! An extra Chapter for every 300 monthly tickets)

Jiang Dali had just settled down in Yiqi Hall when a furious shout suddenly burst forth from outside.

"Lord Jiang, how impressive of a presence you have, acting so high and mighty. We, as the Li Family’s Retainers, have come to take over duties, and you don’t even care to meet us? Simply unbelievable!"

Bang!

The great doors of Yiqi Hall trembled violently as they were thrust open.

Several confidants attempting to block the way were embarrassingly pushed aside, tumbling to the ground and completely losing face.

Jiang Dali sat impassively in the seat of honor, watching the three men who barged in, as well as Xiong Ba who followed behind, trying to smooth things over.

"There’s no need for you to say more, Second Master Xiong. This is because Lord Jiang is too ill-mannered; it has nothing to do with you."

A black-clad man in his forties waved his hand at Xiong Ba and turned his gaze to Jiang Dali’s imposing figure silently perched above. The harsh words he was about to hurl softened somewhat, and with a dry cough and a light hum, he said, "Are you Jiang Dali, Master Jiang? Did you not receive the letter from Li Family Master, Li Hengfei?"

This man of ordinary appearance had sharp, piercing eyes, and an aggressive bearing that made others unconsciously follow his lead.

"The letter, I’ve seen it."

Jiang Dali blandly spoke four words, not bothering to stand, "Unfortunately, I am but a simple man. Whatever Li Hengfei wrote in the letter, I could not understand. You three Li Family servants barge in here— is it because you want to beg for food in Black Wind Village?"

"But Brother Jiang... They, they are the Li Family’s Retainers."

Xiong Ba was shocked, was this not like slapping the higher-ups in the face, and hard at that?

"You bastard!" Including the black-clad man, all three were instantly furious.

A stern yell came from a man with two swords on his back, "Jiang, don’t pretend to be ignorant when you know what’s going on. We are Li Family’s Retainers, esteemed in our position, far from mere servants. If anyone here is a servant, it is you by status.

If you were polite to us, we might still show you some face, but now, you speak nonsense. We three brothers will not show you any courtesy."

"Enough, Second Brother, mind your manners. After all, we are guests here."

The black-clad man cleared his throat and, frowning, scrutinized Jiang Dali’s intimidating physique, "Master Jiang, I do admit you are a formidable person. So young, yet already possessing the strength of the Outer Qi Realm, and having conquered Tuoshui, Chongfeng, and Jifeng Fortresses.

But you should know, all that you have now was cultivated by the Li Family.

What the Li Family gives you, is yours; what the Li Family does not give you, you don’t have the power to take.

Now, the Li Family Master has ordered us three to take over the command of Chongfeng, Tuoshui, and Jifeng Fortresses.

This is not about stripping powers from you. In fact, we remain on the same level, and you may still gain the trust and greater favor of the Family Head, maybe even being promoted to the treatment of a Retainer."

"Nonsense, I’ve listened to all you had to say."

Jiang Dali nodded blandly and stood up amidst the chilling stares of the three men, "Unfortunately, the three of you ’scallions’ are hardly qualified for succession. It seems Li Hengfei has gone senile, his brains cooked through, to send you ’scallions’ to me. Who do you think you are?"

"How dare you! You really don’t know when to accept a favor."

The black-clad man bellowed as he drew his longsword towards Jiang Dali, his eyes flickering with killing intent, making the room’s temperature feel as though it had dropped by several degrees.

Clang clang—

The other two also unsheathed their weapons, facing Jiang Dali with stern expressions and low shouts.

"Jiang Dali, you better not fool yourself, or else don’t blame us for being impolite."

"Please, the three Retainers, please do not start fighting. Really, stay calm, please no fighting; any casualties would be unfortunate."

Xiong Ba, sweating from his forehead, frantically tried to mediate.

"Second Master Xiong, you see it yourself. It’s Lord Jiang who is ungrateful, not us refusing to give face."

The black-clad man sneered with sharp, flickering eyes, "Even if Laozi ends up wounding Lord Jiang later, it would be his own fault!"

"Charge!"

The black-clad man lunged forward with a charge, thrusting his swords in a way unlike any basic swordsmanship.

It didn’t look like a straight stab but more like vapor, meandering and shooting forth, curving, shifting, condensing, forming a fluttering cloud silhouette enveloping Jiang Dali’s vital points.

This was the Floating Cloud Swordsmanship, and with this single move, the black-clad man well deserved his title as a Retainer with the Li Family.

Pity that he was facing the Black Wind Village Chief—Jiang Dali.

As the other two Retainers watched the black-clad man’s sword strike, they inwardly cheered loudly.

Xiong Ba’s face also turned pale, filled with fear.

He wasn’t afraid that the black-clad man’s sword would kill Jiang Dali.

He was afraid that it might very likely be the black-clad man who would die to this sword strike.

Because he knew all too well Jiang Dali’s temper.

After this strike, the black-clad man might be beyond saving, and soon he’d be kneeling, pleading for the man not to die.

Indeed.

Before that sword stroke, which seemed to float like drifting clouds, a large hand suddenly appeared.

The moment the hand struck, it opened wide like a tiger pouncing on its prey, the cold gleam fierce, resembling a giant dragon reaching out with its claw, with dominant green veins twining around the arm.

Jiang Dali made his move.

All of Hui City!

Perhaps no other strongman could act violently in his presence.

"Seeking death!"

The man in black yelled, intending to thrust his sword through Jiang Dali’s palm.

However, with a clang, a resounding explosion erupted.

It seemed as if an incredibly terrifying and powerful swirl of Qi Force blasted from within Jiang Dali’s palm, easily wrapping around the longsword.

A grating sound of metal twisting blasted through everyone’s shocked expressions.

The man in black’s face changed dramatically, his sword hand split open, he screamed as he felt a powerful force wrestle the sword from his grasp.

Then, a fist swift as lightning, turned into a shadow and rapidly appeared in front of him.

"This... No!..."

The man in black’s heart skipped a beat, his head felt like it was about to explode, his eyes wide with terror, his footsteps moved quickly, trying to scramble backwards.

"Brother Wang!"

"Hold on, let’s talk this out!"

The other two retainers, horrified, quickly flanked him to rescue.

Clang—

A sword and a knife both slashed at Jiang Dali’s body.

"Pitiful tricks! Absurd!"

Jiang Dali’s mouth curled in a cold sneer, and a fierce burst of Nine Yang Qi Force abruptly erupted from his strong body.

"Ah, ah—"

The two retainers grunted in pain, shocked to almost drop their weapons, their footing unsteady as they staggered back with faces filled with alarm.

With a splat, an explosion sounded.

A mist of blood mixed with greenish-white fluid burst like fireworks in mid-air.

The man in black, without any power to resist, had his head smashed by a punch and died on the spot; his body flew like a cannonball due to inertia, slamming into a beam before rolling down lifelessly to the ground.

"Why bother, Wang Keqing, I told you to be calm, you really must stay calm, you mustn’t take action!"

Xiong Ba’s facial muscles twitched, his burly and rotund body trembling, he closed his eyes in pain, no longer daring to witness the grisly scene that followed.

"Brother Wang!!"

The remaining two retainers with swords and knives stood dazed and shocked upon witnessing their companion’s swift demise, each gasping a cold breath, feeling as if they were electrified, their whole bodies numb, their vision darkening, foreheads ice cold.

Was that old fool Li Hengfei seriously confused?

Could he really have said that the Black Wind Village Chief only had the strength of the Outer Qi Realm?

The two retainers cursed frantically in their minds, standing stiffly in place, daring not to act rashly, their eyes desperately watching Jiang Dali, their gazes filled with pleading, caution, fear, and hope.

It could be said that people fear death immensely.

Thus, at this moment, all their emotions faced with death were utterly exposed.

Thud—

The retainer bearing two swords was the first to succumb to the psychological pressure and knelt down on one knee to beg for mercy, "Master Jiang... we were merely acting on orders, unaware of your formidable strength.

Truthfully, I’ve long been dissatisfied with that son of a bitch Li Hengfei’s decision, but I had no choice but to comply.

Now, if only you’d let me go, I will never oppose you again, I... I can even give you all my wealth."

Seeing this, the other retainer with the knife was stunned and quickly fell to his knees too, stammering in fear, "I... I’m the same."

...

...

[The retainer with the knife: "Brother Da Li, we will immediately, right away, hand over our recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, along with rewards, please spare us!!]
