Chapter 272 Chop Him Down for Me
Accompanied by a fierce shout, a group of menacing men in black suits appeared at the door. They were led by two middle-aged men, one tall and the other short. The shorter man in the front wore a face full of rage.
"Where is my son, Tan Tianlei, you bastards, I heard someone crippled his limbs? Damn it, today my Dragon-Slaying Business Association will wipe out his entire family!" the short man cursed angrily with a livid face.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the crowd in the hall couldn't help but disperse to the sides. The Dragon-Slaying Business Association was a formidable name in Central Sea, especially its chairman Tan Hao, who was a potent figure.
A person's reputation precedes them, and now Tan Hao himself had come with a group of elite, fierce fighters from the association. Everyone was frightened. Even though people spoke of him casually during their leisure time, standing in front of Tan Hao meant not daring to even let out a peep.
Some were so scared they dared not even breathe heavily, their faces turning pale.
"There's a good show to watch now—one is the famous Dragon-Slaying Business Association with thousands of members in Central Sea, and the other is a peerless master who is unafraid of bullets from handguns. It's like Mars colliding with Earth!" someone couldn't help but mutter under their breath.
"Awesome, but be careful not to get caught in the crossfire!" another person said worriedly.
The Dragon-Slaying Business Association barged in, dozens of core elite members, each highly skilled, tucking a foot-long black leather item under their arms.
As Tan Hao and the others entered the hall, the tall man next to him immediately spotted Shen Zi lying on the ground. His face underwent a drastic change.
"Daughter, damn it, who did this?" The tall man rushed to Shen Zi's side.
"Dad..." Shen Zi said hoarsely, her face pale.
The man was her father, Shen Wenshi, vice chairman of the Dragon-Slaying Business Association.
Shen Wenshi quickly examined his daughter's injuries, and his eyes turned bloodshot with fury. "Good, good, good, even her internal organs are injured. So vicious. Damn it, tell me, who did it, Peng Ming?"
Shen Zi bit her lip and sheepishly pointed in a direction, "He..."
"Tian Lei?" Just then, Tan Hao also found Tan Tianlei lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Tat tat tat..."
Tan Hao hurried over to Tan Tianlei. Not taking a closer look before, but now that he did, he found it unbearable—the boy's hands and feet were broken, and his breathing was faint.
Tan Hao staggered, nearly falling, and then roared with a fearsome look, "Whoever hurt my son, show yourself. If I don't tear you to pieces today, I swear I'm not a Tan!"
Then he turned his gaze towards Peng Ming, not far away, his voice filled with threat, "Damn it, was it you? Today, I swear I'll exterminate Peng Xiong's lineage!"
Facing Tan Hao's fury, everyone in the hall was trembling. Lying on the ground, crying from pain, Xu Sicong was cursing internally.
"Ling Fan, you bastard, I hope you get killed by the Dragon-Slaying Business Association's men. I damn curse you to a horrible death, it hurts, damn it!" Xu Sicong cursed over and over in his mind, but didn't dare utter a word aloud.
"Hao... Uncle Hao... kill him for me..." Sang Yang was curled up on the ground, his body bent like a shrimp, his voice feeble.
"Hmm?" Tan Hao, hearing this, turned his head sharply and looked in that direction.
This glance was startling, nearly giving him a heart attack. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
"Sang... Young Master Sang?" Tan Hao stammered.
He could hardly believe his eyes. Even Young Master Sang had been beaten? He stared at Peng Ming, astounded that the guy had the gall to lay hands on Young Master Sang. Had the Tianlong Business Association had enough of living?
"Young Master Sang, who did this?" Tan Hao asked through clenched teeth.
"Dilly-dallying, and yet you show up just in time when it's my turn to act, facing only this rabble," Ling Fan disdainfully gestured towards the dozens of grim bodyguards and thugs.
With Ling Fan's scornful remark, the attention of all members of the Dragon-Slaying Business Association instantly centered on him.
"Girl, you stay here for a while, Dad will go take revenge for you first, then bring you home to treat your injuries!" Shen Wenshi said in a deep voice.
Just as Shen Wenshi was about to stand, he was firmly grasped by Shen Zi, "Dad, let it be, you are not his match!"
Shen Zi had regained her composure by now. If even bullets couldn't threaten him, how could the people of the Dragon-Slaying Business Association possibly be his opponents?
Hearing this, Shen Wenshi's face immediately darkened, "Rest assured, I've brought so many people from the Dragon-Slaying Business Association today. If we can't handle a greenhorn like him, we might as well not bother showing our faces again. Don't worry!"
"Dad, he..."
Shen Zi had only spoken half her sentence when Shen Wenshi sealed her acupuncture point.
"Rest well for a moment and watch your father slay this wretch!" Shen Wenshi instructed before getting up and walking towards Ling Fan.
However, Shen Zi lay on the ground, her eyes wide open with a face full of urgency.
Feng Shuya and the other two women felt sudden tension at this turn of events. As the saying goes, it's hard for one to fend off the attacks of many. No matter how formidable Ling Fan was, facing this fierce army, they felt unease, always thinking that there's strength in numbers.
Indeed, a large crowd does intimidate; otherwise, why would street fights draw a swarm of people, banking on this show of force? Forget about the women; even the onlookers were quaking with fear.
Peng Ming drew his dagger without hesitation and stood by Ling Fan's side.
"You don't need to help me. Just watch over your sister-in-law and them!" Ling Fan instructed.
Peng Ming, "...."
"All... all sister-in-laws?" Peng Ming glanced at the three women and awkwardly said.
"Uh..." Ling Fan realized his slip of the tongue and that he had misspoken in the heat of the moment.
But the three women, upon hearing his words, felt a series of ripples in their hearts, an indescribable mix of complex joy.
Ling Fan's forehead darkened as he was about to correct himself, but then he heard Peng Ming chuckling, "Boss, rest assured, you take the tough part. With me here, those little shrimps won't be able to hurt the sisters-in-law!"
Speaking thus, he quickly moved to stand beside Feng Shuya and the other women, thinking to himself, "The boss is truly the boss, indeed embracing all romances, living a life at the Peak!"
Ling Fan had no idea about the jumbled thoughts going through this guy's head, or else he'd have no choice but to kick him several times.
The scene unfolding before Ling Fan thoroughly infuriated Tan Hao and the others from the Dragon-Slaying Business Association.
Saw Tan Hao and Shen Wenshi, their eyes bloodshot, staring at Ling Fan. At this crucial juncture, did this son of a bitch still have the leisure to flirt and tease?
Damn it, this was an utter insult to the Dragon-Slaying Business Association; it was clear he didn't take any of them seriously!
"This is outrageous! I've lived half my life and never have I seen such an arrogant brat like you. Fuck, chop him down!" Tan Hao roared.
Following Tan Hao's roar, dozens of black-clothed men 'swooshed' out black sheaths strapped under their armpits, each drawing a gleaming steel cleaver, as terrifying in their momentum as the Axe Gang from the movies.
Tan Hao and Shen Wenshi charged at Ling Fan, knives in hand, one to the left and one to the right, followed by a horde of underlings rushing forth like a tide. The whole hall was tense, filled with a murderous atmosphere!
