Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1045: You Won’t Live Through Tonight

Fang Ping’s eyes widened as he stared at Zhao Dongming and said in a deep voice, ”What do you mean? You’re trying to scare me?”

”It’s not a threat, it’s the truth!” Zhao Dongming responded with a faint smile, ”You really won’t survive tonight. This message of yours, it won’t go anywhere!”

”Bullshit!” Fang Ping shouted angrily, ”Who dares to kill me? I belong to the Fang Family of Capital City. With such a high status that our family has in Capital City, who would dare lay a finger on me?”

”Heh...” Zhao Dongming laughed coldly, ”Is that so? Then do you remember that today in the gymnasium, Su Yang said he would cripple you there and then kill you as soon as you stepped out of Qinghe Academy?”

Fang Ping was momentarily startled; Su Yang had indeed said those words. But at the time, he didn’t take it seriously, thinking that Su Yang was just bragging.

Now that he knew Su Yang was Master Su, he couldn’t help but feel panicked. After all, Master Su’s reputation was indeed too illustrious.

”That... So what!” Fang Ping shouted angrily, ”I don’t believe it, that someone with the surname Su would really dare to kill me! Don’t forget, this is Capital City, and my Fang Family is a significant family here. If he kills me, my Fang Family will pursue him relentlessly to the end. At that time, what good will being Master Su of Pingnan Province do him? Here in Capital City, his little bit of strength is insufficient; he doesn’t have the guts to kill me!”

”That may not be the case!” Zhao Dongming shook his head and said, ”The Qi Family of Wanhu is so powerful, yet Master Su still stepped onto Lake Heart Island, killed more than a dozen people in front of so many members of the Qi Family of Wanhu, and forced them to no longer interfere with external affairs. Your Fang Family may have some status in Capital City, but can it compare to the Qi Family of Wanhu?”

Fang Ping was struck dumb, as his family truly couldn’t compare to the Qi Family of Wanhu.

”But... He wouldn’t dare kill me...” Fang Ping said anxiously, ”When he went to the Qi Family of Wanhu, it was because he had the backing of Sword Saint Ye. Here in Capital City, without Ye Jiansheng’s support, what would he dare do?”

”Master Su is exactly like that by nature. Whatever he does, he is resolute and never retreats out of fear!” Zhao Dongming said with a light smile, ”He said he would kill you, and that means you’re definitely going to die!”

Fang Ping was dumbfounded; he was truly beginning to feel afraid.

However, what Zhao Dongming said next made him even more fearful.

”Of course, if Su Yang doesn’t kill you, then I’ll help him by killing you. I have to at least help him fulfill his promise!” Zhao Dongming said with a light smile.

Fang Ping shuddered and suddenly looked at Zhao Dongming, his voice trembling, ”You... What do you mean?”

”Don’t you understand?” Zhao Dongming said with a light smile, ”Murder by a borrowed knife, get it? I want to personally send this Master Su into the advanced class, but I also need to find him a deadly enemy. That way, it’ll be easier to remove this obstacle!”

Fang Ping finally understood Zhao Dongming’s intentions and gritted his teeth, ”You... You want to kill me and then frame Su Yang, so that... so that my Fang Family will fight him to the death, and then you can completely take control!”

”Smart!” Zhao Dongming laughed, ”Fang Ping, if only you could always be this clever, then my plan couldn’t have been executed!”

Fang Ping clenched his jaws and glared at Zhao Dongming with his eyes full of rage, ”Living Rakshasa, you are so low!”

The term ”Living Rakshasa” was a nickname given to Zhao Dongming by the dandies of Capital City.

Before Zhao Dongming made a name for himself, few people knew him, and the most they would say about him was that he was the ugly freak of the Zhao Family.

But after he became a disciple of the Martial Champion, succeeded in his cultivation, and entered the top three of the younger generation, his power grew so formidable that it struck fear into others. He once tried interacting with some dandies, but at a gathering, a drunken lady from a wealthy family mockingly called him a ”Living Rakshasa” to ridicule his unattractive appearance.

After that, the term ”Living Rakshasa” spread among the dandies of Capital City.

Following that incident, Zhao Dongming seldom mingled with those in the dandy circles. Only a very few could approach him closely.

The words ”Living Rakshasa” were a sore spot in Zhao Dongming’s heart. He might not have expressed much on the surface, but he loathed those words to the extreme.

The wealthy lady who had insulted him met with an accident a month later. The car she was driving suddenly caught fire and she was burnt beyond recognition, a most pitiful sight.

But how could the car have spontaneously combusted?

Everyone suspected Zhao Dongming, but no one had proof. When the girl’s family went to Zhao Dongming to demand an explanation, he injured all of them severely and sent them back home on stretchers.

That very night, Zhao Dongming personally attacked their family, defeating all their experts and killing thirteen people. He claimed it was because they insulted his reputation, but everyone knew it was revenge.

It was after this incident that people in Capital City’s circle of dandies no longer dared to provoke Zhao Dongming. And the term ”Living Rakshasa” continued to circulate behind his back, but no one dared to say it to his face.

Fang Ping was so furious that he knew he was doomed, and that’s why he dared to curse directly at Zhao Dongming’s face.

Zhao Dongming’s expression was calm as he looked at Fang Ping, as if looking at a dead man.

He was a man with deep cunning, having endured humiliation in his family from a young age. If he hadn’t been so shrewd, he wouldn’t have survived.

Hence, he never revealed his true feelings on the surface.

Another reason he was dealing with Fang Ping was because Fang Ping had mocked him as a ”Living Rakshasa” countless times in front of others. The idea of killing Fang Ping had long taken root in his heart; he was just seizing the opportunity now!

Feeling Zhao Dongming’s piercing gaze, Fang Ping felt his skin crawl, but he still tried to maintain a facade and roared, ”Zhao Dongming, do you think you can frame me that easily? Do you think by killing me, everything will be settled? Do you think the people of my Fang Family are fools, easily manipulated by you?”

Zhao Dongming laughed lightly and said in a soft voice, ”Fang Ping, if you have any last words, say them now. Because, in a moment, you won’t be able to speak at all!”

”You... What are you planning to do?” Fang Ping’s voice trembled.

”Since I’ve already told you so much, I obviously can’t let you go gossiping about it!” Zhao Dongming said with a smile, ”In a moment, I’ll make sure you can’t talk. That way, nothing about me will be exposed at the gates of the school!”

Fang Ping’s face instantly turned pale; he knew he didn’t have much time left.

After several shifts in his expression, Fang Ping suddenly showed a pained and pleading look and said with a quivering voice, ”Young Master Zhao... Please, spare me... I... I will help you deal with Su Yang, I’ll help you against Lü Donglin, Ge Kaiyang, and Wu Feizhi... My influence is still strong, I can get all the people in Capital City’s advanced class to side with you, to increase your power...”
