Xiang Shaoyun replied lazily, “Children, go play somewhere else. Don’t look for trouble.”
After what he had experienced in recent years, Xiang Shaoyun had matured significantly compared to his peers. In his eyes, Hui Yuzheng was behaving like a big baby.
Finding the reply hilarious, Shang Yafang laughed and said, “Big Brother Shaoyun, you’re really funny. By the way, are you calling me a child as well?”
“But you guys are really children,” said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
Hui Yuzheng was completely infuriated.
“Come over here and let this young master show you who the child is,” shouted Hui Yuzheng furiously.
“Hui Yuzheng, don’t look for trouble. Big Brother Shaoyun can crush you with one finger,” said Shang Yafang.
“If he really has that ability, I’ll voluntarily let him crush me,” said Hui Yuzheng with disdain.
As far as he was concerned, Xiang Shaoyun was merely a pretty boy. He had to teach this outsider a lesson he would never forget.
Xiang Shaoyun sighed and said, “You should all come together. If you manage to harm me, consider it my bad luck, and I’ll leave right away. If you can’t even harm me by attacking together, call me boss, and I’ll spare you. How about that?”
“Fine, since you are trying to die, bring it on,” said Hui Yuzheng, sneering.
“Big Brother Shaoyun, are you sure?” Shang Yafang became somewhat anxious.
“Alright. Just watch,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he shot her a comforting gaze before stepping forward.
“Take my punch!” Hui Yuzheng made the first move.
From how he attacked immediately, it could be seen that he was quite a crafty person. The punch was aimed at Xiang Shaoyun’s face, and a heavy might was behind it, making it clear he was trying to blast Xiang Shaoyun’s face into pieces.
His friends cheered, “Crush him! Crush him!”
Bang!
Before the fist could land, a powerful force appeared and bounced Hui Yuzheng back, sending him flying. After flying more than 10 meters, he crashed on the ground. As for the other youngsters, they were all stunned.
Hui Yuzheng was their admired boss, a number one genius in their eyes. But their boss had been sent flying just like that. Obviously, their target was much stronger than their boss. More importantly, their target seemed to be of a similar age to them.
Hui Yuzheng got back on his feet, massaging the fist he had thrown out. Numbness and an uncomfortable sensation were assaulting it. He finally realized that he had underestimated the outsider. Of course, that was not enough to make him fear Xiang Shaoyun. This was Shang City. Apart from Shang Clan members, nobody could force him to retreat.
“See? I told you to attack together. You have suffered because you refused to listen,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a helpless shrug.
“Hui Yuzheng, just return. I told you Big Brother Shaoyun could crush you with just one finger,” said Shang Yafang smugly.
Hui Yuzheng felt somewhat embarrassed, but he still commanded his friends, “Use your weapons and attack with your full strength. I refuse to believe he can stop all of us.”
The others did as told and drew their weapons before blasting Xiang Shaoyun with their attacks.
Rumble! Rumble!
Multicolored explosions erupted as attack after attack landed on Xiang Shaoyun. The resulting effect of so many Skysoar Realm cultivators attacking together was quite remarkable. Shang Yafang watched on as everything happened, anxiousness rising within her.
Hui Yuzheng and company did not stop after a round of attack. Instead, they repeated their attacks several times, showing their determination to defeat Xiang Shaoyun. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun, who was within the midst of the storm of attacks, had five layers of Goldplates around him, protecting him from all the attacks.
After he advanced into the Emperor Realm, he had also pushed his Six Goldplate Manual to the third stage, the Goldplate stage. So long as he grasped the final level, forming six Goldplates, he could be considered to have fully mastered the technique.
With his current defensive power, not even a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator could harm him. Thus, even with all of them attacking together, Hui Yuzheng and company would never be able to harm Xiang Shaoyun.
“Enough! Are you not ashamed of yourself? Why are you still not stopping?” shouted Shang Yafang, who couldn’t watch on anymore.
After sending two more rounds of attacks over, Hui Yuzheng and the others stopped.
“Let me see if he can even still stand after all that,” said Hui Yuzheng smugly. He was confident Xiang Shaoyun had most definitely been defeated.
Defying all his expectations, when the dust settled, Xiang Shaoyun was standing completely unharmed. He was surrounded by golden scales, looking incredibly noble. Hui Yuzheng and the others opened their eyes wide in shock, their mouths wide agape.
“You’re not even worthy of scratching my itch,” said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.
He took a step forward, and a powerful presence of an Emperor spread out from him. A heavy pressure blasted Hui Yuzheng and his friends. They wailed miserably and were sent flying and coughing up blood.
Xiang Shaoyun then walked toward Hui Yuzheng before saying, “It’s time to fulfill your promise.”
Hui Yuzheng stared at Xiang Shaoyun with indignation, not willing to call him boss.
But the moment he met Xiang Shaoyun’s domineering gaze, he shivered, and before he even knew it, he called out, “B-boss!”
“Good. How about you guys?” asked Xiang Shaoyun as he scanned the others.
Naturally, they did not dare to hesitate and called out, “Boss!”
“Alright. You may leave now.” Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand. “Of course, you’re welcome to come take your revenge at any time. I’m staying at the Shang Clan’s residence.”
Shang Yafang interrupted, “Big Brother Shaoyun is my brother’s boss. They are both genius disciples from Dragon Phoenix Academy. If you want your revenge, think it through before seeking it.”
Her words shattered the little confidence the youngsters had into pieces. If Hui Yuzheng was a boss in their hearts, then Shang Jifeng was the boss of bosses for them. He was their undisputed idol. And now, the boss of the boss of bosses was standing before them. At this moment, they came to accept their defeat wholeheartedly.
“Boss, in the future, you’re my boss,” said Hui Yuzheng as he pushed himself up and hugged Xiang Shaoyun’s legs.
