Chapter 95: 95: Ma Yuan’s Defeated

At this moment, Ash could feel the bottomless hatred from Azure Finch’s blade. Though she hadn’t told him what happened in the past, the pain, and her suffering was transmitted through their bonds. However, Ash couldn’t let her kill Ma Yuan, he was wary that Azure Finch would turn into a Demonic Blade instead once she tasted the blood of her previous owner.

To quench her revenge, Ash must kill Ma Yuan with his own hands.

"Nightflame." Ash called the unornamented sword, it swirled around him before finally hovering above Ma Yuan’s throat. Though the sword was less polished, nobody would dare to question its raw power.

"Any last word?"

Ma Yuan, his Qi had entirely depleted, there’s nothing he could do except running like a dog, or begging while kowtowing before Ash’s feet. However, his pride as the current head of the Ma Family in the City of Long River would not allow him to do that.

"Hehehe, just kill me already. But remember, the Main House of Ma Family would not just sit idle. They’d hunt you down, kill, and violate your girls, hahaha!"

Ash pondered deeply. Killing him would not solve the problems that Ma Yuan had caused. However, he couldn’t just let him get away with it. There’s a price that Ma Yuan must pay for messing with him, and this is also giving an example for the other experts.

"Well, I know that I can’t kill you, not today at least. But, I can’t say the same for those whom you have wronged." Ash smirked, pointing at the angry crowd who were waiting their turn to beat Ma Yuan.

As if on cue, Feng Bo’s henchmen, who were waiting on the side of the arena, quickly secured Ma Yuan to the VIP room before things got out of hand.

After a short, awkward pause, the referee ran onto the center of the arena.

"T-The Winner is.... Xiao Hûoo!!!!"

The crowd were hesitant whether to cheer or not. What happened tonight was too bizarre. Never have they thought that there’s a young man who was able to defeat an opponent who was to stage higher than him.

Ash, however, paid no heed to their loud chatter on the side. He even ignored those who wanted to do a post fight interview with him. As he got the wooden plaque as a token to proceed to the next round from the organizer, he hastily trudged upstairs where Ma Yuan was held by Feng Bo and his henchmen.

Inside the VIP room, dozens of important figures in the City of Long River had gathered, they were Feng Bo’s business partners and colleagues. For the past decades, these people were Ma Yuan’s business rivals, they had sacrificed so much money and resources to obtain and sell a legit, high grade item of an Immortal Beast. Yet, this audacious bastard was selling counterfeit goods with high prices and even forged the Item’s Manifest!

Alas, they were no mercy for Ma Yuan, not even death would be enough to repair the damage.

By the time Ash entered the room, he was flabbergasted as he saw a pool of blood around his body. All of his limbs were crippled, every meridian in his body was destroyed.

"What the hell? Is he dead?" Ash inquired innocently.

Granted, everybody in the room shifted their attention toward the young man in red who had brought Ma Yuan down.

Feng Bo soon strode toward Ash with open arms. "Hohoho! Here you are, Young Lord Xiao Hûo! We’ve been waiting for you!"

Ash quickly stepped aside, he didn’t like being embraced by a stranger. "What happened here? Did you guys torture him?"

"Torture?" Feng Bo chimed. "How cruel. We were just giving him a lesson. If I want to torture him, I would have inject him with an aphrodisiac and let his balls imploded for ejaculating too much! Crippling his limbs or two won’t do much harm. Besides, Qi Condensing Experts were generally very tough and resilient, this much won’t be an issue, to be honest."

Ash’s face went blank for a moment. He didn’t expect that cruel remark from Feng Bo.

’Right, Cultivators are, basically, a different breed than humans. Their rationality standard is not the same compared to Common Mortal.’

"I spared his life because I’m acquainted with somebody who was also surnamed Ma. Not to mention, Ma Yuan holds a strategic position within the City’s Council. We could still use him as the Chief Council of the Southern Borough, also. Now that he’s reduced to this state, what’s left for me? Haiyaaa, you guys are so greedy." Ash shook his head.

"You don’t need to worry, Young Lord. The Feng Family will cover the financial damage that the Ma Family have caused, and we will protect you from the people who want exact revenge for Ma Yuan’s downfall. On top of that, Zhou Family Bank will intermediate the transaction to ensure nobody would obstruct the deal!"

Ash scratched his head a few times. "So, in other words, you were saying that you are going to buy Ma Family’s assets at dirt cheap price while I’m the one who got beaten into a pulp! Hah! You old fox, good thing that I don’t have interest with Ma Family’s assets, otherwise, I will roll you over and feed you to the dragon!"

Feng Bo chuckled impishly. "You are really sharp, Young Lord! But, please, don’t think any of this as a malice from my person. Truly, all we want to do is just doing business for hundreds, if not thousands of years to come!"

Afterward, another powerful old monster chimed in, spouting some wisdom from behind his thick beard. "We are on the same page with Master Feng Bo this time. Could you imagine, if the market in Long River City is filled with counterfeit goods, the people from great sects wouldn’t want to come here anymore! And, eventually, the city would be abandoned due to the lack of economic interest!"
