Jiang Xiu, it was a name which made him feel quite grateful, resentful and scared. Even Old Father Tang lying on the bed sprang up to sit when he heard the name.


It's him! He appeared again!


Even a person like Lin Zhenbei who was pursuing the Dao Soldier realm was scared witless when confronting Jiang Xiu. How could those useless underlings of Big Lei be his opponent?


It's too ridiculous!


"I'm on my way there!"


After ending the call, A'Dong looked towards Tang Zhenshan. He knew Old Father had already heard it, that the Jiang Xiu who had crippled his arm has emerged. "Old Father, he has appeared again. What should we do?"


Tang Zhenshan caressed his crippled arm, "Since Mr. Jiang had cut off the arm and left on that day, the gratitude my Tang family owes him is already settled. As for the enmity towards him for crippling my arm, I naturally want to forget it."


A'Dong nodded, expressing that he understood.


"But we can't forget that he's also a martial arts expert, a person who even Lin Zhenbei is afraid of. Our Tang family must treat this matter with utmost respect. A'Dong, are you clear on this?"


For the time being, keeping the gratitude and grudges aside, just Jiang Xiu's cultivation level alone made the Tang family approach this with great importance.


"I understand. I'll ask Mr. Jiang for forgiveness towards my unreasonable actions on that day."


At the other side, Big Lei ended the call and crawled up from the ground with great difficulty, staggering along. He leaned his body on the wall and grinned, "Aren't you thinking that you can fight quite well?"


"Foolish frog at the bottom of the well. Have you ever seen a genuine expert? Just wait, Grandpa Lei will make you broaden your horizons. A genuine martial arts expert is on the way here."


Mentioning that someone was coming here, Big Lei's face didn't show any fierceness or disagreement, rather it was completely serious.


"Oh, really?"


On the contrary, Jiang Xiu was actually looking forward to it. He wanted to know what the level of martial artists is in his hometown.


On that day, Lin Zhenbei had left a deep impression in Jiang Xiu's memory. It wasn't due to his strength, but the little bit of immortal cultivation breath on his body. The movement skill he used wasn't a divine force skill or anything but it did possess a trace of it.


It was possible that there were existences which can threaten his life.


The Myriad Laws were interlinked. If such an existence really existed, Jiang Xiu was convinced that his strength would mature faster then he'll be able to quickly recover till the stage where he could shatter the cosmic void and withdraw resources from the Immortal Martial Continent. He wouldn't have to wait for 300 years to receive the single-use flying sword sent by his foolish disciple.


Looking at Jiang Xiu contemplate, Big Lei said, "Are you afraid now?"


"But it's too late!"


"Anyone who offends this Grandpa Lei has never left this place in a single piece."


Big Lei grinned. His body was bloody all over and even his face was smeared with it. He appeared haggard but still laughed with complacency.


It was because he knew that the ball was in his park, the final victor would still be him.


This was the formidable temperament of an underworld thug!


He'd never accept defeat before experiencing complete ruin.


How could the grand Grandpa Lei lose to a person whose family ran a fruit stall? It was not a matter to kid about!


Many of the beautiful staff members were quite curious and even some of Big Lei's underlings who were still crawling on the ground felt the same. They had heard that there was someone behind Big Lei and it seemed that today was the fated day.


This was also a reversal of the situation.


Sounds came from the city gate of the Entertainment City. Big Lei felt his heart skip a beat. He's come. A middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker came over. His figure was short and small and he didn't seem to possess any special qualities, but this silhouette was equal to an unequaled battle god in Big Lei's heart.


He walked through the passageway filled with men fallen on the ground. Those men were still in pain but they bore it and dragged themselves to the side to give way to leave out a path for him.


Jiang Xiu was slightly astonished when he saw him and immediately smiled helplessly. The so-called expert whom Big Lei was boasting about was unexpectedly Tang Zhenshan's chauffeur who had locked him inside the room and didn't let him leave it, saying that it was for his own safety.


Isn't this too much of a coincidence?


A'Dong didn't pay attention to the wounded people on the ground and assumed a resolute face which possessed a trace of dreadful anger. Looking at the anger on Old Dong's face, Big Lei grinned even more happily. Brother Dong's angry! He remembered the last time Brother Dong was angry. It had happened 10 years ago. Those people at that time had… there were no words to explain. He felt a bit of sympathy for Jiang Xiu now.


"Brother Dong!"


Big Lei coughed up blood as soon as opened his mouth due to the excitation causing his blood to rush up. Jiang Xiu's kick was just that fierce. Big Lei had flown back several meters, so there was no doubt that the injuries were far from light.


Blood was flowing from his mouth but he still wore a smile.


A'Dong walked in front of Big Lei.


"Brother Dong!"


Big Lei called out to him again. He wiped the blood from his mouth and spoke firmly, "It's nothing. This little brat had almost taken my life but I was able to hold on."


SLAP!


A'Dong gave a ruthless slap. Big Lei stayed on his feet with great difficulty and leaned on the wall again. His face was filled with astonishment. He was utterly baffled.


"Brother Dong?"


He couldn't understand why A'Dong had hit him. Shouldn't you be hitting that brat?


A'Dong turned around and bent both his knees, directly kneeling down in spite of the broken glass on the ground. He half-lowered his head and only knelt without saying anything. His posture was proper and manner deferential.


Swoosh!


Big Lei's eyes so wide that they almost popped out.


"What the…"


Is Old Dong kneeling? And not even daring to say anything? Is this situation that worse? Although he didn't understand what was happening, he knew it was something out of his expectations. A boundless tsunami-like fear submerged Big Lei.


Silence, the entire place became dead silent.


A'Dong was also a man. Blood kept flowing from his knees but he remained silent. Without Jiang Xiu opening his mouth, A'Dong wasn't planning to even make a squeak.


Tick tock tick tock, time passed by.


The mood became so stifling that people became unable to breathe.


One minute!


This short minute seemed longer than a year to Big Lei, his heart was experiencing torment. Just who is he? Who? Big Lei was about to collapse.


Three minutes!


Cold sweat dripped along his forehead.


Five minutes!


Big Lei felt himself going insane. For every minute A'Dong kept kneeling, the fear his heart feels increased. He shivered and his limbs went cold. The fear had accumulated to the point that it had finally exploded, making him lose consciousness and fall to the ground.


It was really something. He had called someone to handle Jiang Xiu and he was instead frightened unconscious.


A'Dong didn't say anything. It seemed that kneeling was more important than Big Lei's fate.


Seven minutes!


Eight minutes!



Jiang Xiu got up and left.


He didn't say a single thing.


After he left, A'Dong closed his eyes then stood up after a while. He reached out and slapped Big Lei to wake him up. After waking up, the first thing Big Lei did was to look for Jiang Xiu's silhouette, but that chair was empty and his whereabouts unknown, "Old Dong!"


A'Dong sneered, "Your courage is really big. You dared to move against Old Father's friend! You and your brothers are nothing to him!"


"What?! He is Old Father's friend?" How can someone with a venerate identity like the Old Father be friends with a fruit selling brat like Jiang Xiu? He's just good at fighting, there's plenty of people like him in the army. Big Lei was extremely shocked.


If you knew he even crippled one of Old Father's arms, I wonder how you'll feel. A'Dong thought. "I came over here today on Old Father's orders."


"And what I did was also due to Old Father's instructions."


Recalling the appearance of A'Dong kneeling on the ground, Big Lei felt a chill creep up from his back to his head. Cold sweat flowed down again. Jiang Xiu was someone who can make even the Old Father send out words. He finally realized that he had almost provoked a calamity today.


"Just who is he?"


A'Dong shook his head, "It doesn't matter who he is. The most important fact is what kind of person he can become. Old Father said that this child had limitless possibilities and could even become a Dao Soldier."


"Dao Soldier?"


A'Dong continued, "Martial Arts levels were divided into three big realms. Outer Strength, Inner Strength, and Supreme. The stage after them is the Dao Soldier stage. It's unknown whether the Dao Soldier stage exists or not. I've also merely heard rumors saying that stage is the true power above all others."


"Forget it. You won't be able to understand even if I say it."


The students had run out of Entertainment City as if it was Hell. They sat on the cars and stepped on the accelerator. Those like Ye Wenchen who had heavy injuries directly went to the hospital and though Cheng Lingsu and the other girls hadn't sustained injuries, they were frightened a lot. They found a regular restaurant and huddled together to warm themselves.


"It really scared me to death!" Li Dan patted her chest. "I'll never go there again."


"It was indeed scary but I feel it was quite exciting." Ouyang Qian put a finger on her lip.


"Right, will he be fine?"


Li Dan was naturally asking about Jiang Xiu.


"Feel relieved. Since he's able to fight hundreds of them, even if Boss Big Lei calls an expert, he'd be able to escape." Ouyang Qian cried out, "Only, we should thank him. Isn't that right? Susu…"


"Aaahh…. Mhm!" Cheng Lingsu felt a little dazed. When did he learn martial arts?


"Susu, something hard in your pocket is poking into me!


"There isn't anything inside though!"


Cheng Lingsu felt baffled and reached out into her pocket, taking a paper out. After spreading it out, she cried out instinctively. It was the contract she had given to Jiang Xiu. Somehow, it had been placed inside of her pocket.


At the bottom of the paper, two huge words were signed in calligraphy - Jiang Xiu.


"He signed it!"


Cheng Lingsu stood up, losing self-control.
