Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 860: Chapter 859: Zhao Ping’an Arrives

All those within the house were astonished. Who would come to Dao Shixun’s aid at this time? After all, Liu Shuangcan had personally given the order. Anyone who helped the Tao Family now, wouldn’t they be opposing Liu Shuangcan directly?

Everyone turned their gaze toward the newcomer, who was a young man of about twenty. Dressed in simple clothes, he looked quite ordinary without any distinctive features.

The little girl, frightened by the Evil Butcher, had forgotten even to cry or shout. The young man held her in his arms, gently patting her back and comforting her, ”Be good, don’t be afraid, it’s all right now, it’s all right...”

After a long while, the little girl finally burst into tears, though her crying gradually subsided with the young man’s consolation.

All eyes were on the young man as he soothed the little girl into silence. Everyone was stunned and confused about what was happening.

Finally, the Evil Butcher snapped back to reality, shouting angrily, ”Who are you, with such audacity? A person I threw, and you dare to catch? Have you tired of living...”

Before the Evil Butcher could finish, the young man simply picked up a wine cup from the ground and casually threw it at the Evil Butcher.

This wine cup moved with startling speed and was in front of the Evil Butcher in the blink of an eye. The Evil Butcher, with his power from the Fusion Realm, was surprisingly unable to defend against it.

Just as the cup was about to strike his face, another wine cup suddenly flew in from the side and knocked the first one away.

The one who intervened was none other than Liu Shuangcan, who looked coldly at the young man and said in a deep voice, ”Are you that Master Su?”

Before the young man could speak, Min’er shouted from a distance, ”He’s not Master Su, he’s Zhao Ping’an. Your nephew, Liu Changnian, was killed by him with his own hands, as well as those other people from your Liu Family. He also said he wants to skin you, draw out your tendons, turn your bones to dust and scatter them!”

At these words, the crowd burst into an uproar, and those from the Ten Great Families roared with anger, demanding Zhao Ping’an’s death.

Liu Shuangcan’s brows furrowed; the strength Zhao Ping’an had shown was not weak. So, in his eyes, this should be Su Yang.

Yet, this was only Zhao Ping’an, and not Su Yang. Did that mean Su Yang’s strength was even greater than Zhao Ping’an’s? This was beyond his expectations; he had thought that neither man was particularly strong!

Zhao Ping’an, however, remained composed. He placed the little girl behind him and said loudly, ”Liu Shuangcan, if you want to see my master, you’ll have to wait a while. My master said, first gather those ten top experts of Hanxi Province, so he doesn’t waste time hunting them down one by one!”

Liu Shuangcan’s expression turned icy as he barked, ”What arrogance! Truly courting death. Does he really think he is an Immortal from the heavens? Telling me to gather the ten top experts of Hanxi Province? Hmph, killing him alone doesn’t require so many, I could crush him with one hand!”

”Barely an ant, yet daring to spout such nonsense. Are you blowing your own trumpet before Patriarch Liu, is this a desperate boast before you die?”

”Hmph, not kneeling before Patriarch Liu shows your lack of any decorum. Maybe I should teach you some manners myself?”

”Why waste words on him? Let’s all go together and kill him first!”

The crowd growled angrily, itching to strike down Zhao Ping’an immediately. But remembering how Zhao Ping’an had dealt with the Evil Butcher, they were all talk and didn’t dare to actually move.

Liu Shuangcan waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and spoke coldly, ”Zhao Ping’an, your strength is not weak, but in front of me, you’re still nothing. Let your master come, I’m not interested in crossing hands with a minor character like you!”

”Don’t worry, my master will return!” Zhao Ping’an smiled and said, ”But he does have a little matter to attend to. Once he has taken care of it, he will personally come to kill you!”

”A little matter?” Liu Shuangcan frowned and snorted, ”How dare he attend to other matters before waging war with our Ten Great Families? What is he doing, preparing a will, or fulfilling some unfulfilled wish?”

The crowd burst into laughter, and a man shouted loudly, ”I think he probably wet himself and went back to change his pants!”

”Hahaha, definitely, knowing Patriarch Liu is here, how could he not be scared witless?”

”Such a green youngster, yet daring to strut about here playing the lord. I reckon he knew about Patriarch Liu’s strength and got too scared to show up, so he sent a puny disciple to die in his stead!”

”Hey, kid, did your master send you here to die, and you still don’t understand the situation? How about you kneel down here and wait. If he’s too scared to come, keep kneeling, and maybe we’ll give you a chance to live!”

Faced with the jeering of the crowd, Zhao Ping’an remained utterly calm.

At this moment, a group of people entered from outside the hall, and they turned out to be from the six major families of Liuan City.

Seeing these people, the crowd laughed even more uproariously.

”They all came over, that’s just perfect, it saves us a lot of trouble, so we don’t have to go to Liuan City to kill them!” the Evil Butcher bellowed with laughter: ”Patriarch Liu, reward me with a few later on. These pampered folks must be tender, perfect to feed my dogs!”

Liu Shuangcan wore a cold sneer, not taking Su Yang seriously at all.

Min’er, watching the attitudes of the people from the Ten Great Families, also wore a smug expression and called out loudly, ”Zhao Ping’an, you killed my boyfriend Liu Changnian, and today, I want to see how you’ll leave this place. Patriarch Liu is here, and he will definitely kill you with his own hands. When the time comes, don’t you kneel and beg for mercy!”

Zhao Ping’an’s brow furrowed slightly, but before he could speak, someone from the Liu Family suddenly slapped Min’er across the face.

Min’er was hit so hard she was dazed, looking at the Liu Family’s people with a bewildered face, not understanding what was going on. Why was she being hit by someone from the Liu Family when she was on their side?

The Liu Family member said with a look of disgust, ”Bitch, watch your words. What do you mean Liu Changnian is your boyfriend? Look in the mirror before you talk about yourself, what makes you think you deserve to be someone from the Liu Family’s girlfriend? If others heard that, they’d think the men of the Liu Family aren’t choosy at all, willing to take in any trash!”

The crowd laughed uproariously again, and Min’er’s face turned crimson, her expression becoming utterly unpleasant. However, in the end, she could only clench her teeth and didn’t dare utter a single word. At this moment, she didn’t even know who to hate. When it came down to it, the insults from the people of the Ten Great Families were the most excessive!

Liu Shuangcan slowly picked up the teacup from the table, and said coldly, ”Zhao Ping’an, is your master truly busy, or is he too scared to come? You’d better clarify this. Our time is very precious, and if he doesn’t show up soon, we will start killing. Don’t waste everyone’s time!”

”What business? I bet he got scared off and doesn’t dare to come!”

”That’s right, I don’t believe that with Patriarch Liu here, this Su fellow would dare to show up!”

”They’re good at boasting, but when it actually comes to fighting, they’ll probably be peeing their pants!”

The people from the Ten Great Families immediately began mocking and sneering, their faces full of smugness and derisive laughter.
