Su Qingxue bit her lip as her gaze filled with humiliation. She had long seen this coming. Even if Ye Lingchen did not appear, she would eventually be given away. The best outcome was to be given away as a tool for political marriage.
That was the cruelty of the great families.
Only those with value would survive. Without value, one would have to create value. If one did not even have the chance to create value, then they would be mercilessly thrown aside!
“Are you confident of capturing me?” Ye Lingchen’s tone was undisturbed.
“Hahaha, I’ll have you submit fully!” Su Tianhong laughed out loud.
The Su family had long noticed Su Qingxue’s abnormal behavior. They merely feigned ignorance. Now that Miracle Doctor Y offended the Mo family and his bodyguard’s strength was exposed, they felt as though they had god’s vision and everything was within their control.
With Su Qingxue inviting Miracle Doctor Y over, the Su family immediately followed along and planned to take Ye Lingchen down in one swift move.
The Mo family was already furious. If they do not take this chance to take down Ye Lingchen, it would only grow tougher later on. That night was their best opportunity!
“Isn’t this bodyguard your fallback? I’ll start by taking down this bodyguard of yours and see if you can still remain as calm as you are,” Su Tianhong sneered, then told the two beside him, “I’ll leave him to both elders.”
Both of them were eager to act. Their gaze locked on and immediately charged straight at Ali.
In their eyes, Miracle Doctor Y was just a sitting duck. ‘Acting so brazenly with just a single bodyguard in the Sichuan-Tibet region? Do you think this region is without experts?’
‘This Miracle Doctor Y obviously did not expect to get lynched.’
Even if Ali was able to kill Black Tiger, the two of them were stronger than Black Tiger. Moreover, they were working together and the effects were not just as simple as one plus one. Most importantly, Su Tianhong was just watching the fight withhands behind his back. The rise of each family did not only depend on the strength of others. The masters of each family were at the top. Not even the both of them could be his match!
If the family had no experts of their own, they would not be able to establish a hold and would be at risk of getting destroyed at any moment.
“Ah!”
Su Qingxue screamed, then covered her mouth. Her face was filled with helplessness and worry as she looked at Ali.
“He’s as stubborn as a mule.”
Su Qingyao was a lot more composed as she watched the battle calmly.
Compared to using violence, she preferred the peaceful approach. She had naturally heard of Miracle Doctor Y’s achievements. His medical skills were considered top of the world. If he could develop the medication for rabies, he might just be able to develop a cure for cancer!
Su Anxuan excelled in martial arts, while she excelled in business, therefore allowing her to be more far-sighted.
Unfortunately, Ye Lingchen had repeatedly rejected the Su family’s offers, and that was with him already offending the Mo family. It would seem that Miracle Doctor Y was an obstinate person who could not be convinced with words. They could only resort to subduing him by force!
However, when Su Qingyao’s gaze passed over Ye Lingchen, the edge of her eyes twitched. Although she could not see his face, she could feel his calm composure from his gaze. That was a true calm, not a forced facade.
Even if his bodyguard could hold Elder Sun and Elder Pan back, the Su family still had seven people including her. It would be a piece of cake for them to take the opportunity to capture him. Was he not afraid of others going around his bodyguard to capture him?
‘Could he be hiding a trump card?’ Su Qingyao frowned.
‘Let’s test his reaction again after taking care of that bodyguard of his.’
She focused her attention on the fight once again. By then, Ali was already engaging the two elders.
Elder Sun—the middle-aged man—had his muscles bulging non-stop. While he was still 10 meters from Ali, he raised his hand and sent a fist in mid-air toward Ali.
Whoosh!
The air shook as an invisible wave spewed forth from his fist; it was unblockable, and shot forward like a ballista, faster than the eye could follow.
Boom!
Ali braced himself, colliding with the air wave with his body. His body trembled and he felt his hands go slightly numb from the blast of air.
“Inner force release?”
Ye Lingchen looked at Elder Sun. It seemed that he was trained in some fist technique that was similar to Arhat’s Fist Force.
“Old Sun’s inner force seems to have grown stronger.” Su Tianhong could not resist laughing.
“Old Sun was unhappy having lost to Black Tiger from the match half a year ago. Unfortunately, he’s unable to get his revenge after that difficult breakthrough as Black Tiger is dead,” one of the Su family members whispered.
“However, that big guy managed to kill Black Tiger in a single punch. I think his strength should be better than Old Sun.”
“That goes without saying. Otherwise, Old Sun and Old Pan[1] would not need to work together. In my opinion, why should they go through all the trouble? If the master acted, this can be solved without any trouble.”
“That’s not it. You have to think of the master’s status. If he took action against some weakling, that would lower his status.”
Those from the Su family had their gaze filled with passion as they looked at Su Tianhong.
Meanwhile, the battle grew in intensity.
Elder Pan was a lot smaller than Ali. They were like an adult and a child. However, every time he attacked, it was followed by a vicious wind. His five fingers were like razor blades, cutting across the air, attacking at high speeds with movements similar to a monkey.
Nevertheless, he also had his worries. He dared not put too much into each attack as he needed to reserve some strength to dodge Ali’s attacks. Although Ali’s clothes were filled with various cuts and seemed pathetic, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
Elder Pan would attack from a distance while Elder Sun harassed Ali up close.
“Hahaha, wonderful!”
Ali was in a disadvantageous situation, yet he burst into laughter. He did not learn any fist techniques, therefore could only put his boxing techniques to use. Protect the weak spot and punch like a dragon! Every punch would cause Elder Pan’s expression to change, not daring to take it head-on.
Right then, Elder Sun raised his fists and maximized his inner force. It came like a wave, bringing along a force to split the mountains, pouring all his techniques into a single point. One punch that caused a strong wind to gather!
The inner force he released this time was a lot stronger and had a terrifying force.
A blurry image of a fist could be seen forming in the air, rushing toward Ali along with the inner force.
Whoosh!
As it passed, the grass swayed along. Mixed with the sound of breaking wind, its force was like a dragon that engulfed Ali.
At the same time, Elder Pan’s expression darkened. His eyes were like that of a venomous snake. His body kicked off from the ground as he spread his fingers like a claw, striking down from above. Ali raised his hand to meet the attack but was grabbed instead.
Ali’s entire sleeve was ripped off. His strong arm was left with five deep claw marks—a vicious wound.
“Eh?”
Elder Pan was slightly stunned. He did not expect his full forced attack to only barely pierce Ali’s skin. The wound seemed horrible, but it was shallow. If it were a normal person, half the flesh on their arm would be gone and even exposing the bones…
[1] 老魏 (Old Wei) – Old Wei was named in the raw. However, judging from the context, we suspect that this is most likely a typo and decided that it was Old Pan.
