The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

396: Chapter 396 Tiger and FlyHearing Xu Qing’s threat, Han Jingyang wasn’t afraid; instead, he let out a relaxed laugh. ”You’re not qualified to threaten me. Among the three women by my side, even the weakest could kill you with ease. I’m giving you a chance, so you’d better tuck your tail between your legs instead of being ungrateful. Even if you want to kill me, shouldn’t you investigate my identity first? Right now, you don’t even know my name, yet you have the audacity to bluster about killing me. It’s boring. Even elementary schoolers know to weigh their respective strengths before talking big. You’re worse than a schoolchild; I really don’t know how you’ve survived until now.”

Xu Qing took a deep breath. ”Who exactly are you?”

Han Jingyang laughed again. ”Asking that now—isn’t it a bit late?”

”You don’t dare to say?”

”Ah, right, right, right. I’m so scared. I’m so afraid that you’ll come for revenge after you find out my name,” Han Jingyang said, laughing at his own words.

Scared?

What did he have to be afraid of at this point?

It was others who should be afraid of him.

Anyone who had witnessed that world-shaking sword strike of his would be terrified.

The sheer lethality.

The vast range of destruction.

The dazzling brilliance of the skill’s effects.

Any single one of those aspects was enough to make people fear him to death.

Because one could very well fall victim to it unknowingly, dying before even laying eyes on him.

No one wanted to experience that sensation.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to keep such a powerful move as a hidden trump card? Why reveal it so early?

While he didn’t expect to solve everything once and for all, clearing away common nuisances shouldn’t be a problem, right?

He would rather face an opponent like Tian Chunming once a month than deal with the daily harassment of various small-time thugs.

It was too much trouble.

A tiger-slaying hero should focus his attention on fighting tigers, not spend every day waving his massive fists to drive away flies.

Therefore, Han Jingyang didn’t bother wasting words with Xu Qing. He tilted his chin toward Shi Xiaoya. ”Throw them all out.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Xiaoya sprinted and delivered a powerful kick.

*Thump—*

Xu Qing flew backward out of the main entrance like a cannonball, landing hard on the main road.

The three burly men with injured arms rushed out, helped Xu Qing into the car, and vanished in a flash.

Shi Xiaoya clapped her hands. ”Hubby, was I cool?”

Han Jingyang nodded slightly but looked at Wang Zhiwei. ”Old Wang, it seems there are quite a few people eyeing your little lover.”

Wang Zhiwei’s expression changed again. ”What do you mean? Could it be...”

”Otherwise? Does your cheap father-in-law’s house have anything else of value?”

”Then—then doesn’t that make Doudou even more in danger?”

”No, she’s safer. The higher her value, the safer she is. Just like a priceless antique—people will fight over it, but no one wants to smash it, right?”

”Right, right, right, that makes sense.”

”That’s the situation your little lover is in right now. You don’t need to worry. Go home and live your life well, and while you’re at it, take care of your health. Let’s say the day after tomorrow; I’ll go to your house then to set up a Feng Shui array for you and settle everything in one go.”

Wang Zhiwei nodded, but he didn’t seem particularly excited.

Clearly, his heart was still preoccupied with Doudou.

He could be considered to have a conscience; he was just a bit of a playboy and wasn’t devoted enough.

Of course, devoted men were a rare species to begin with; it was nothing to be surprised about.

Ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of men in the world were unfaithful at heart.

Han Jingyang patted Wang Zhiwei on the shoulder, nodded to Shi Xiaoya and the others, and left directly.

As soon as he stepped out, his expression immediately darkened.

Shi Xiaoya realized something. ”Is the situation very serious?”

”Yes, extremely serious,” Han Jingyang took a deep breath. ”Whatever evil technique Lyu Zhiqiang managed to cook up was sinister enough on its own. If I hadn’t acted in time, once he finished his cultivation, few people in the country could have withstood a single combo from him. I finally managed to kill him, but now Zhou Fangfei—that human dharma instrument—has been abducted. Tell me, what do the people who took Zhou Fangfei want to do?”

”Continue Lyu Zhiqiang’s plan!”

”Exactly. If they really succeed, the underworld and society will inevitably fall into chaos. Lyu Zhiqiang’s ability was far too bizarre and extremely well-hidden; ordinary people simply wouldn’t be able to detect it.”

”Then what should we do?”

Han Jingyang narrowed his eyes. ”Eliminate the enemy while they’re still in the bud.”

Shi Xiaoya was a little worried. ”Can we find them?”

”It’s a bit difficult, but not entirely impossible,” Han Jingyang took a deep breath. ”This matter cannot be delayed. Because if they really get their way, I, you all, and our families and friends will certainly be the first to face retaliation.”

”How do we do it?”

Many plans flashed through Han Jingyang’s mind.

Luring the snake out of its hole.

Beating the grass to startle the snake.

Borrowing a path to conquer Guo.

Killing with a Borrowed Blade.

And so on.

The plans were all good, but he always felt they were missing something.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

Why am I even thinking about plans? With my strength right here, I should just charge straight to their door. Who’s afraid of whom?

Even if the enemy had an expert on the level of Tian Chunming, he wouldn’t be the least bit intimidated.

The him of today was not the same as the him of a month ago.

Let alone one Tian Chunming—even if three or five more showed up, he wouldn’t flinch.

Furthermore, it was the enemy who feared him now, not the other way around.

So, any planning would only waste time and slow down the rhythm.

Charging straight in was the most effective and correct method.

Why did he rack his brains every day to collect all sorts of items?

Wasn’t it so that one day he could employ fire-saturation tactics?

Only the poor relied on tactical maneuvering.

The rich just used overwhelming firepower.

Now, he had the ability to use elementary fire-saturation tactics.

It was the perfect time to reinforce the impression of his power in certain people’s minds.

A Zhang Dahai and a Yang Zhixiao weren’t quite enough; he needed a few more tough characters to consolidate his reputation. Only then could he completely frighten off flies like Xu Qing.

Currently, the range of his deterrence wasn’t wide enough; it was still missing that little bit extra.

This was the perfect opportunity to make up for that deficiency.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand. ”Let’s go, get in the car. We’re going to find them directly.”

Shi Xiaoya was stunned. ”We’re not going to rest and reorganize?”

”No, we’ll settle this quickly. This kind of thing can’t be delayed. The longer it’s dragged out, the more troublesome it becomes. It’ll be even worse if they leave the country.”

”Do we need to make preparations?”

”I’m already prepared.”

Shi Xiaoya suddenly became excited. ”Hubby, you’re going to take action?”

Han Jingyang pulled Shi Xiaoya into his arms and kissed her directly. He let go after several minutes, licked his lips, held his head high, and said calmly, ”I’ve been relying on you all to charge ahead while I just hid in the back and took potshots. This time, it’s my turn. It’s time to show another trump card.”

Shi Xiaoya’s eyes almost turned into little stars. ”Hubby is so domineering!”

Liu Jing’s eyes also flickered with emotion, seeing only Han Jingyang’s tall and imposing figure.

Yang Jinyuan had a similar reaction, but her curiosity was even stronger—she wondered what Han Jingyang’s trump card was.

Could it be that the sword strike from ’Frost Cold Over Fourteen Provinces’ wasn’t his final trump card?

It went without saying for the sisters Lin Yuelan and Lin Yuegui; they had long been completely won over, not only by Han Jingyang’s generosity but even more so by his power.

Although they hadn’t witnessed Han Jingyang’s sword strike with their own eyes, they had heard about it through their own channels.

The sisters had been in the underworld for many years and had built up many connections and channels. Although they weren’t very high-end, the speed of information transmission was not diminished at all. The moment Han Jingyang unleashed that world-shaking sword strike, the two sisters received photos from the scene.

Thus, even though the sisters hadn’t been following Han Jingyang the whole time, their admiration for him had been steadily growing.

They got into the car.

Han Jingyang summoned the Chaotian Temple and the Bridal Gown Woman. After giving a few instructions, they followed the Bridal Gown Woman to track them down.

The Bridal Gown Woman’s Tracking technique was also based on bloodlines and personal belongings. As long as Zhou Fangfei still had blood relatives, the Bridal Gown Woman could track her.

Forty minutes later.

The car stopped in front of a restaurant in the city.

Han Jingyang glanced at the sign, a hint of suspicion appearing on his face.

A coincidence?

Or... is there a problem?
