Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1182: Kill Lü Peiwen

The crowd grew even more excited at this point, with some people practically itching to rush forward and attack Su Yang themselves.

Chen Benhong was even prouder, for Su Yang had been hit repeatedly and now he had completely gained the upper hand. What came next was for the Chen Family’s men to withdraw; he had nothing to worry about.

He took a deep breath and announced loudly, ”All members of the Chen Family, retreat. We agreed to a duel. If you act this way, won’t I lose face before everyone?”

The people of the Chen Family clearly understood Chen Benhong’s intent and withdrew from the battlefield one after another. The leading elder sighed and said, ”Hong’er, if it weren’t for this Su’s outrageous behavior, we wouldn’t have done this. But since he insists on acting alone, you should be the one to fight this battle!”

Those scions at the scene were not fools and immediately piled on the flattery, ”Chen Shao is truly magnanimous, remaining so humane in dealing with such a person, setting an example for our peers!”

”Chen Shao needn’t bother with such formalities. All of this, Su brought on himself, he simply got what he deserved!”

”Chen Shao was kind-hearted just now, allowing him to go back and heal. Not only did he fail to appreciate Chen Shao’s good intentions, but he also injured members of the Chen Family heavily. It is natural for them to be outraged; Chen Shao need not save his face!”

”Indeed, such a scourge, no different from a beast, Chen Shao need not speak of morality or ethics with him!”

The crowd shouted in agreement, insulting Su Yang while exalting Chen Benhong. Everyone was well aware that today’s battle would propel Chen Benhong to a higher position. Therefore, building a good relationship now was crucial.

Chen Benhong felt very pleased inside, but he remained humble on the surface, ”You flatter me too much, but since we agreed on a duel, we must follow the rules. Su Yang, my Chen Family members did make a temporary move earlier, which makes my victory less honorable. How about this, I’ll let you have three moves, how’s that?”

Chen Benhong had a keen strategy. Su Yang was already injured, so those three moves he offered hardly mattered. Nevertheless, this gesture enhanced his reputation even further.

As expected, upon his offer, the crowd cheered loudly, their boot-licking fervor intensified, sending Chen Benhong’s reputation soaring.

Su Yang clenched his teeth in silence, seemingly determined to take advantage of the three moves, charging forth to attack with all his might. However, since he was injured, his strength was less than Chen Benhong’s, and all three moves were easily dodged by Chen Benhong.

”Three moves are up, Su Yang, now it’s a fight to the death!” Chen Benhong’s eyes revealed a ferocious glint as he swiftly charged forward, launching his full-power attack.

Su Yang struggled to defend himself but was ultimately no match for Chen Benhong. It wasn’t long before he was again struck by Chen Benhong’s palm and sent flying, retreating near Lü Peiwen and the others.

Seeing Su Yang approach, a cold light flashed in Lü Peiwen’s eyes, and he pulled out a dagger from his waist, aiming to stab Su Yang in the back.

He had suffered a great loss at the hands of Su Yang back in Pingnan Province, and Su Yang had also publicly declared his intent to kill him, causing him great humiliation. Hence, he held extreme hatred for Su Yang, and seizing this opportunity, naturally, he wanted to kill Su Yang on the spot.

Moreover, he had watched clearly as others attacked Su Yang just moments ago, while Chen Benhong was engaging him, leaving Su Yang with no capacity to counter. Thus, he had no fear, with Chen Benhong supporting him from behind.

Not long after he thrust his dagger, Su Yang suddenly turned around, staring straight at him.

This startled Lü Peiwen, yet seeing Chen Benhong rapidly approaching from behind, his heart was put at ease, and he had no fear.

”Su, I’ll kill you!” Lü Peiwen roared, his face twisted fiercely as he charged forward, thrusting the dagger straight at Su Yang’s heart.

Chen Benhong made his move from behind, preparing to fully suppress Su Yang.

Just then, something astonishing happened. Su Yang spun around, and in a blur too quick for the onlookers to see clearly, he positioned himself directly behind Lü Peiwen.

Even Chen Benhong failed to catch the move clearly. He too was startled—was Su Yang’s strength really so formidable?

Lü Peiwen failed to react, and Su Yang’s hand had already seized his neck, taking him straight towards Purple Lotus Lake.

”Lü Peiwen, I said I would kill you, and I surely will not spare you!” Su Yang roared as he threw Lü Peiwen into the air and flicked his dagger. The dagger immediately pierced through the air, heading straight for Lü Peiwen.

Lü Peiwen had no way to dodge or defend, but Lü Wenbang, in the air, had his expression change drastically and bellowed, ”Monstrous beast, how dare you!”

However, it was too late for him to come to the rescue; he could only watch helplessly as the dagger pierced through Lü Peiwen. The overwhelming force bore a hole the size of a bowl in Lü Peiwen’s chest—Lü Peiwen was dead beyond any doubt!

The entire scene was in shock, even the spectators in Purple Lotus Garden were dumbfounded. No one could have anticipated such a turn of events. Su Yang, who had clearly been beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, how could he suddenly burst forth and kill Lü Peiwen?

Moreover, Su Yang chose to kill Lü Peiwen right above Purple Lotus Lake, clearly making a spectacle for Lü Wenbang to see. This act was obviously meant to disturb Lü Wenbang’s composure!

As expected, on seeing his own son killed, Lü Wenbang flew into an extreme rage, howling, ”Su, you dare kill my son, I will never let you go!”

Su Yang did not even glance at him and charged straight back into Purple Lotus Garden.

Chen Benhong was still in shock, but Su Yang showed no courtesy, dashing up swiftly to fight Chen Benhong once again.

This time, Chen Benhong clearly sensed that Su Yang’s strength had improved significantly from when they first fought. There was no sign of injury, and his combat power seemed only to grow stronger, which terrified Chen Benhong to the extreme.

Could it be that Su Yang had intentionally concealed his strength, and this was his true power?

Chen Benhong’s guess wasn’t wrong at all—Su Yang had indeed been hiding his strength.

He knew full well that killing Lü Peiwen amidst so many opponents would not be an easy task. Therefore, he had purposely staged that act to dull everyone’s senses and then seized the opportunity to kill Lü Peiwen.

Lü Donglin was fighting Lü Wenbang outside, and his strength was clearly inferior to Lü Wenbang’s. Su Yang too had a battle to fight and couldn’t go to aid Lü Donglin, so he chose this strategy—to kill Lü Peiwen, to unsettle Lü Wenbang’s mind, and to help Lü Donglin indirectly.

The fight didn’t last long before Chen Benhong was retreating step by step. Finally, he couldn’t help but shout, ”Attack together, kill this scourge!”

The Chen Family’s men immediately charged with battle cries, joining Chen Benhong in besieging Su Yang.

”Is this what you call a fair fight?” Su Yang sneered. ”Chen Benhong, do you want me to concede you three moves?”

Chen Benhong’s face became extremely unsightly. He knew that if they won today after so many of them ganged up on Su Yang, his reputation would be utterly ruined once word got out.

But he had no choice; if he didn’t let the Chen Family’s people join the fight, he might end up dead at Su Yang’s hands by himself!
