Chapter 724: 723

Qi Shun’an furrowed his brow and raised his hand to deliver a slap across Zhu Guifen’s face.

Zhu Guifen was instantly dazed; she had not expected Qi Shun’an to dare to lay a hand on her.

In an instant, the team leader and several others rushed over, protecting Zhu Guifen behind them.

The team leader stood in front, giving Qi Shun’an a cold look, "Friend, we can talk this out, why resort to violence? And to hit a woman, isn’t that a bit shameful..."

Before the team leader could finish speaking, Qi Shun’an made his move again, landing another slap on the team leader’s face.

The team leader had not anticipated Qi Shun’an’s attack at all. He himself was a battle-scarred special forces veteran with exceptional combat abilities. But before Qi Shun’an, he found himself without the slightest ability to resist. The slap caused his ears to buzz and left him utterly confused.

Seeing their team leader get hit, the rest of the group became enraged and quickly surrounded Qi Shun’an.

Without wasting words, Qi Shun’an swept his hand and immediately, a dozen people rushed out, encircling the members brought by the team leader instead.

"My Qi Family has always been kind to others and welcomes visitors to Lake Heart Island for sightseeing and enjoyment. However, we will absolutely not tolerate anyone coming to Lake Heart Island to insult or provoke the Qi Family!" Qi Shun’an said coldly, "Break their legs and throw them all out. This is just a lesson. If you cause trouble at the Qi Family of Wanhu again, it won’t be just a matter of broken legs; next time, it will be your lives that are thrown away!"

These people rushed forward, clashing with the team leader’s group.

Meanwhile, the members of the Zhou and Ho Families hadn’t left yet and were watching the scene with mocking faces.

Although this woman had come with them, in reality, they never took her seriously.

After all, they were influential figures who controlled their own territories back home. This woman, on the other hand, had merely made some small business deals and had a couple of million at most; in their eyes, she was no different from a beggar.

They had come to the Qi Family to seek justice, and Zhu Guifen had come for the same reason, which greatly annoyed the members of the Zhou and Ho Families. Did this woman really think she could compare to the Zhou and Ho Families? Recruiting a security company and bringing a few retired soldiers turned thugs, did she truly believe she could stir trouble at the Qi Family of Wanhu?

Being ignorant of one’s own insignificance is one thing, but there should be limits!

That’s why they weren’t in a hurry to leave; they wanted to stay and see how Zhu Guifen and her entourage would be driven out by Qi Shun’an, treating it like a spectacle.

Hu Yong shielded Su Yang behind him; they too were surrounded by those people, with his expression looking extremely grim. He had previously surmised that a confrontation was inevitable upon entering, but he had not expected it to break out so quickly. And the disparity in strength was far too great.

"Su Yang, run as soon as you can once the opportunity arises, I’ll cover for you," Hu Yong whispered.

Su Yang glanced at Hu Yong. Although they hadn’t known each other for long in the army, Hu Yong had always been a man of honor. Seeing that he was still as dependable years later warmed Su Yang’s heart.

"It’s fine; since I’ve come, we’ll fight shoulder to shoulder!" Su Yang said with a faint smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hu Yong whispered fiercely, "This is our problem, not yours. If we get hit, we’ll get compensation when we go back. If you get hit, the company won’t give you anything. Why should you suffer for this?"

Su Yang smiled and took a step forward, blocking the kick aimed at Hu Yong and shoving the man out of the way.

Everyone watching the fight was shocked; after all, Hu Yong and his group were only meant to be beaten, with no chance to fight back. So why did Su Yang suddenly appear and start retaliating?

The man pushed by Su Yang toppled over in a rage, jumped up, and roared, "I’m going to kill you!"

The onlookers sneered. A middle-aged man from the Zhou Family said softly, "This young man really doesn’t know how high the sky is, daring to mess with someone from the Qi Family. Isn’t he just seeking death?"

"This is the Qi Family of Wanhu; does he think it’s some commonplace location? A beating would just end in, at worst, a broken leg, and he’d still be alive. But now look at him, resisting and angering the people of the Qi Family; he’s going to leave his life here!"

"Exactly, this kid is really too impulsive. They’re just paid to do a job; why take it so seriously? If he dies, so be it, but if he causes others to get killed too, that’s truly a sin!"

"That’s his own doing; why bother with him? People like him are self-centered and won’t realize that there are higher heavens and others beyond themselves until they suffer a great loss. Hmph, but does he know that some losses, once suffered, will cost him his life?"

The surrounding spectators all chuckled sarcastically, clearly seeing that provoking someone from the Qi Family was indeed seeking death.

Hu Yong was also stunned; he had not expected Su Yang to be so assertive. He had never imagined Su Yang could knock someone down; most importantly, angering someone from the Qi Family of Wanhu was asking for death.

Seeing those people charging over, Hu Yong quickly ran up, positioning himself in front of Su Yang, and urgently said, "Everyone, everyone, I’m really sorry. My brother is young and doesn’t understand these matters. On his behalf, I apologize to everyone..."

"Apologize to your ancestors! I’ll kill you!" the man who had been knocked away roared, sending a palm strike towards Hu Yong’s chest.

Su Yang’s expression grew cold; this man’s onslaught was formidable. If this strike hit its mark, with Hu Yong’s strength, he would certainly meet his end right there.

Hu Yong was already apologizing, and yet this man still intended to take his life, which was really too much.

As the man’s palm was about to strike Hu Yong, Hu Yong could also feel something was terribly wrong. The force of the palm caused him to have trouble breathing. As for the thought of it hitting him, he didn’t dare to imagine.

By then, Hu Yong had no chance to dodge. After all, the man was a Qi-Refining Martial Artist, and Hu Yong was just a retired soldier who knew a few combat techniques.

Hu Yong felt almost a sense of despair, while everyone else watched intensely. Was Hu Yong about to be killed by this strike?

However, at that moment, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed Hu Yong by the collar, and yanked him back.

The person who had intervened was Su Yang, who pulled Hu Yong away and then took a lateral step forward, facing the man head-on.

Seeing Hu Yong step back, the man thought his strike would miss, but when Su Yang moved into position, he was elated, feeling even more vengeful about killing Su Yang.

Putting extra force into his attack, the man’s palm struck Su Yang’s chest.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Su Yang was not sent flying as they thought. Instead, the man’s arm broke instantly, and he was the one sent tumbling backward, vomiting blood as he flew, presenting a very gruesome sight.
