Chapter 7 Brothers

Ignoring Yu Ziqing’s approach, the bald man kept his foot on Shen Shitong’s face, squeezing his fat face out of shape.

“Kid, did you bring the money?” The bald man looked at Yu Ziqing’s slightly thin body and delicate face, and asked slowly with a look of contempt.

Yu Ziqing glanced at Shen Shitong, and after confirming that he was alright, he slowly swept his gaze over the four bald men.

“Release my friend first,” Yu Ziqing said calmly.

Although he had already made some progress in his cultivation and taking down the three men in front of him was not a problem, Yu Ziqing was not confident that he could guarantee that Shen Shitong, who was under the fat man’s feet, would not be harmed again.

“Pretty boy, what are you, daring to negotiate with our Baldy!” the red-haired thug cursed, pointing at Yu Ziqing.

In the darkness, a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes.

However, Yu Ziqing did not make a move, but simply looked at the bald man indifferently.

“I didn’t realize you, kid, even though you look like a pretty boy, you’re actually pretty tough and loyal.” The bald man clearly didn’t take Yu Ziqing seriously, curling his lip in disdain before kicking Shen Shitong’s fat body and cursing, “Get the hell out of here!”

Ignoring the pain all over his body, Shen Shitong scrambled to Yu Ziqing’s side.

Yu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief as the disheveled Shen Shitong ran to his side, before turning his gaze back to the four people in front of him.

“Kid, I’ve released him, hurry up and give me the money!” The bald man said somewhat displeased when he saw that Yu Ziqing had no intention of paying.

“I didn’t bring any money.” Yu Ziqing shrugged, his gaze gradually turning cold and terrifying.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shitong’s face turned pale instantly, while the four bald men changed color drastically.

“You fucking want to die!” the red-haired thug shouted as he stepped forward and kicked Yu Ziqing in the stomach.

“Brother Red Hair, I have something to say…” Shen Shitong hurriedly called out, but before he could finish speaking, Yu Ziqing had already made a lightning-fast move, his five fingers turning into eagle claws, and with a snap, he tightly gripped the red-haired thug’s ankle like a cold iron clamp.

“Get lost!” Yu Ziqing shouted coldly, forcefully flicking his hand. The red-haired thug spun 180 degrees in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, clutching his right leg and screaming in agony.

The bald man, the green-haired thug, and the voluptuous woman’s expressions changed drastically; they realized they had met their match.

Swish! Swish! The bald man pulled out a folding knife with a fierce look on his face and swung it back and forth in the air. The green-haired thug pulled out an iron rod from somewhere and stared fiercely at Yu Ziqing. The voluptuous woman put two fingers in her mouth and whistled.

Suddenly, five shadows came running from the darkness, gradually revealing their thuggish faces, each holding an iron rod.

Yu Ziqing’s expression changed slightly, while Shen Shitong’s face turned deathly pale, and his legs trembled.

“Bald guy!” The group first called out to the bald man, then glanced disdainfully at Yu Ziqing and Shen Shitong, before finally fixing their gaze on the red-haired thug who was groaning and clutching his knee on the ground.

“Red, red, you little brat, you’re so damn useless! You actually let this pretty boy take you down!” A thug with buck teeth pointed at the red-haired guy and stammered.

The bald guy slapped the buck-toothed guy on the head and cursed, “What are you babbling about!”

He was also involved; if the buck-toothed guy insulted the red-haired guy, wasn’t he also insulting him?

After slapping Baldy, Bucktooth realized that Baldy was holding a knife and dared not say another word. The other four also put away their disdain and stared at Yu Ziqing with fierce eyes, while Shen Shitong, whose legs were trembling, was automatically ignored.

“Kid, don’t even think about leaving here until you come up with 30,000 yuan!” the bald man said fiercely.

He could tell that Yu Ziqing had some skills; otherwise, he would have beaten Yu Ziqing up long ago before talking about money.

Yu Ziqing’s gaze remained cold. He had weathered countless storms in his life, and the number of people he had killed was staggering. If he hadn’t fallen on hard times and if he hadn’t wanted to disrupt his current life, he would have already started a killing spree without hesitation.

However, Yu Ziqing didn’t want to escalate the situation and hoped to end things peacefully. So Yu Ziqing said, “Why bother, Baldy? You hit my friend, and I hit your underling. Let’s call it even today, how about it?”

“Haha!” The thugs all laughed, even the bald guy laughed.

The laughter made the fat man very uneasy. He gently tugged at Yu Ziqing’s clothes and whispered, “Ziqing, it’s better to lose money than to suffer a disaster. Just give me the money!”

Although Shen Shitong’s voice was low, it was still heard by Baldy and the others in the darkness. Their laughter became even more unrestrained, and they tapped their palms lightly with iron rods as they laughed.

“Laugh, laugh at your mother’s head!” The cold words rang out, and Yu Ziqing, like a ferocious beast in the night, finally revealed his chilling claws.

In a flash, the bald man felt a suffocating force, accompanied by an accelerating airflow, rushing towards his stomach.

In a flash, Yu Ziqing kicked the bald man hard in the stomach. The bald man’s huge body leaped into the air and fell two meters before crashing heavily to the ground, lying on all fours like a fat pig, groaning in pain.

“Bald guy!” the fat woman screamed first.

Everyone else was also jolted awake. Just as Green Hair was about to swing the iron rod in his hand, a tremendous force came from the rod, and his palm became hot, but there was nothing left in his hand.

Before Green Hair could recover from his shock, he heard the sound of an iron rod slicing through the air. Then, he was hit hard on the back four or five times in succession. He felt like his bones were about to be shattered. The pain was excruciating, and he couldn’t help but roll to the ground, screaming in agony.

Shen Shitong stared in disbelief as Yu Ziqing, wielding an iron rod, began to beat the thugs mercilessly.

Although those thugs were also carrying iron bars, they became like unarmed women and children when facing Yu Ziqing. They quickly threw away their iron bars and rolled around on the ground with their hands covering their heads.

In just a short while, all the thugs were knocked to the ground, leaving only the fat woman standing there, pale and trembling.

“Throw away that stick, or I’ll cripple him!”

Just as Shen Shitong was staring in disbelief, the bald man suddenly sprang up from the ground, pressed a knife against Shen Shitong’s neck, and shouted at Yu Ziqing with a fierce but weak voice.

“Okay, I’ll throw it!” Yu Ziqing threw the iron rod away decisively, not confident that he could take down the bald man before he could draw his knife.

“Give him a good beating!” the bald man yelled at the thugs who were still groaning on the ground.

The thugs staggered to their feet, picked up iron bars, and started hitting Yu Ziqing with them. Even the woman joined in and kicked him a few times.

“Haha, kid, I’ll show you how arrogant you are! Don’t you know whose territory this is? Beat him up, beat him up properly!” The bald man shouted smugly as he saw Yu Ziqing lying on the ground with his head in his hands, letting them beat him.

“Bald guy, please stop hitting me! I have money! I’ll call my old man right now, fifty thousand, no, no one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, okay? I know my old man has savings, he only has me as his son, he’ll definitely bring it!” Shen Shitong, this guy who often forgets his friends for the sake of women, was truly heartbroken at this moment, so regretful that he wished he could take the beating for Yu Ziqing, crying and begging with snot and tears streaming down his face.

“Shut your stinking mouth, I’ll talk to you after I’ve had my fill of beating you.” The bald man raised the hilt of his knife and smacked Shen Shitong on the head.

Just then, Yu Ziqing, who was screaming in agony while clutching his head, suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes.

Then an iron rod whistled through the darkness and struck the knife with a snap, sending it flying to the ground five meters away.

Then, Yu Ziqing, like a leopard, darted out from the thugs with an iron rod in his hand and flew towards the bald man.
