Chapter 65: Duel!
Yang Jian withdrew the pressure he had been exerting on Fang Yu, his eyes flickering as he said, “This afternoon at three o’clock, at the Martial Arts Association’s arena in Jianghai City, I challenge you to a fair duel in the presence of the Martial Arts Association. Do you dare to accept?”
The Martial Arts Association? A duel?
Fang Yu looked at Yang Jian, narrowing his eyes slightly.
It had been many years since he had stepped onto a competition stage, and he found himself somewhat nostalgic for that feeling.
“Alright,” Fang Yu replied.
Yang Jian gave Fang Yu a deep look and coldly said, “I hope you can arrive at the arena on time this afternoon.”
With that, he turned to leave.
“Wait.”
At that moment, Fang Yu suddenly spoke up.
Yang Jian paused and asked, “Do you have any questions?”
“You injured Tang Si, so for the sake of fairness, shouldn’t I be allowed to injure one of your people as well?” Fang Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian had no immediate reaction, but many others changed their expressions.
Was Fang Yu looking for death?
Yang Jian was already planning to leave, yet he was still provoking him!
Tang Si was just an underling, so what if he was injured?
Yang Jian revealed a cold smile and said, “If you can do that, feel free.”
The two people behind him were his junior disciples, also from Longmen, and students of Master Gu Rulong.
Both had the cultivation of half-step masters, and with Gu Rulong personally guiding them, their strength far exceeded that of ordinary half-step masters.
Fang Yu could defeat an average half-step master, but against these two disciples, he would definitely not have any advantage.
Yang Jian turned to look at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with arrogant confidence.
“Good.” Before his voice faded, Fang Yu instantly vanished from his spot.
In the next second, he appeared in front of one of Yang Jian’s disciples and kicked out.
The half-step master had no time to react at all!
His brain simply couldn’t keep up with Fang Yu’s speed!
“Puff!”
The half-step master spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying twenty to thirty meters away, crashing to the ground, unable to stand again.
Seeing this scene, many people present gasped in shock.
Fang Yu really dared to make a move!
Not only did he dare to act, but the power of that kick was indeed formidable!
Yang Jian looked at Fang Yu, his surprise deepening.
He hadn’t thought much of Fang Yu before, but now it seemed that Fang Yu’s strength was indeed stronger than he had anticipated.
However, he still held absolute confidence in his heart.
Although there was only a thin layer of difference in realm between a martial arts master and a half-step master, the gap in strength was like heaven and earth.
In today’s martial arts world, the value of a martial arts master exceeded that of twenty half-step masters combined.
That was an absolute advantage.
No matter how strong Fang Yu was, he was still just a congenital martial artist!
That kick just now, if it were Yang Jian, he could have easily blocked it!
His two disciples were still a bit too weak.
“You…” The other disciple of Yang Jian had an extremely ugly expression and wanted to attack Fang Yu.
Yang Jian gestured to stop him and looked at Fang Yu, saying, “I admit your strength is not weak, but everything you do now will only add to the pain you will face this afternoon. See you then.”
With that, Yang Jian turned and left, while Yang Yinzhu shot Fang Yu a cold glance and followed behind Yang Jian.
The other disciple immediately went to help the fallen disciple up and took him away.
…
As they walked out of the Tang family’s main gate, Yang Jian glanced at his disciple, who had just been kicked by Fang Yu and was now holding his abdomen with blood at the corner of his mouth, and asked, “Luo Shidi, how are you doing?”
Luo Ziming shook his head and said, “I’m fine, just a bit hurt in the abdomen.”
Recalling Fang Yu’s lightning-fast speed and the power of that kick, Luo Ziming still felt a lingering fear.
Beside them, Yang Yinzhu couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Brother, why didn’t you just kill Fang Yu earlier?”
Yang Jian glanced at Yang Yinzhu and said, “Fang Yu is to be killed, but killing here is different from killing in front of the Martial Arts Association; the effects are not the same.”
“I’ve been following my master for too long and haven’t appeared in public for a long time.”
“I suspect many people have forgotten that the Yang family still has my existence. Just right, this afternoon, I will let the whole Jiangnan know that I, Yang Jian, have returned.”
“From now on, the Yang family will no longer be oppressed by anyone!”
“Whoever offends the Yang family is offending me, Yang Jian, and their fate will be like Fang Yu’s on the competition stage!”
As he spoke, Yang Jian’s eyes were like thunder, and his aura was overwhelming.
Yang Yinzhu looked at Yang Jian, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Her elder brother had now grown into a true powerhouse!
From now on, as long as she and her brother joined forces, one in literature and one in martial arts, they would surely elevate the Yang family to a new level!
…
In the Tang family hall, there was a dead silence.
Although Yang Jian had left several minutes ago, the people present were still filled with fear and could not speak.
Tang Mingde stood up with the help of his subordinates, his legs still trembling.
Both of his knees were swollen and red.
Old Master Tang had been in good spirits today, but after Yang Jian’s disturbance, his expression turned grim as he trembled back to his seat, his face full of worry.
Ji Rumei hurriedly walked up to Fang Yu, glanced at her watch, and said anxiously, “Mr. Fang, fortunately, Yang Jian didn’t act on the spot… If it’s at three o’clock this afternoon, we still have about four hours to think of a way…”
“Think of a way? What’s there to think about? Just deal with Yang Jian,” Fang Yu said lightly.
The Yang family still owed him a large debt, and now that Yang Jian had come to him to settle it, it was a good thing.
This afternoon, he could take the opportunity to wipe out the Yang family entirely.
Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu’s indifferent demeanor, feeling extremely anxious.
She felt that Fang Yu did not have a clear understanding of the strength of a martial arts master.
But she didn’t dare to say anything more, fearing Fang Yu would misunderstand her intentions.
Fang Yu looked over at the unconscious Tang Si lying on the ground and walked forward.
Tang Xiaorou hurried over, her beautiful eyes reddened, and said, “Fang Yu, Uncle Si…”
Fang Yu crouched down, grabbed Tang Si’s arm, and infused a stream of true energy into his meridians.
“The meridians are undamaged; it’s nothing serious. He just needs to rest for a while,” Fang Yu stood up and said.
Tang Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had two subordinates come over to lift Tang Si onto a stretcher.
Fang Yu stood up and noticed that everyone around was looking at him with strange expressions, the hall was silent, and an awkward atmosphere had settled in.
“Why don’t we continue with the birthday banquet?” Fang Yu asked.
Before anyone else could respond, Liang Rong stepped forward, glaring at Fang Yu, and said angrily, “How can you still say that!? If it weren’t for you, would it have turned out like this? How can we continue the birthday banquet now?”
Tang Wenyuan quickly pulled Liang Rong back, preventing her from continuing.
Fang Yu had just kicked someone flying twenty to thirty meters away, clearly showcasing his extraordinary skills.
If Liang Rong angered Fang Yu, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Why are you stopping me? Am I wrong? He alone provoked Yang Jian, and now he brought the trouble to our Tang family. Is he trying to get us killed? You…” Liang Rong fearlessly continued.
“Enough, be quiet!” Old Master Tang shouted.
Liang Rong’s expression changed slightly, and she closed her mouth.
Old Master Tang looked at Fang Yu and said, “Doctor Fang, please come to the inner hall for a moment.”
After that, he turned to the guests in the hall and said, “Some unexpected events occurred today, which startled everyone. I apologize for that… The birthday banquet will continue; please feel free to enjoy yourselves. I will go handle some matters in the inner hall first.”
With Old Master Tang speaking, the guests naturally had to show respect, and the atmosphere became slightly more lively.
However, while the guests appeared to be chatting and laughing, internally, many were already reconsidering their attendance.
The martial arts genius Yang Jian of the Yang family had returned, and everyone had witnessed Yang Jian’s terror.
The Tang family and the Yang family were in opposition.
So, by attending Old Master Tang’s birthday banquet today, weren’t they effectively standing against the Yang family?
No one wanted to go against the current Yang family.
If it weren’t for the sake of appearances, many would have wanted to leave directly.
…
In the inner hall, Old Master Tang, Tang Mingde, Tang Xiaorou, and Tang Feng were all present.
Old Master Tang’s expression was serious as he said to Fang Yu, “Doctor Fang, I know a martial arts master from Xiangcheng. I will call him now and ask for his help to mediate this matter.”
Fang Yu was taken aback and said, “There’s no need…”
“Doctor Fang, you are our benefactor, and it is because of our Tang family that we have offended the Yang family. Now that you are in danger, we cannot just sit by and do nothing. Do we still deserve to be human?” Old Master Tang interrupted Fang Yu, speaking in a deep voice.
