Yang Kai looked utterly fearless, his tone arrogant and overbearing.
The old man stared at him with a look like he'd seen a ghost. Confirming the young man wasn't drunk, he shook his head helplessly. "I really don't know how you young people think."
"Don't worry. Since I've run into this today, it's about time to properly clean up the trash in Bibō City. Just watch, old sir."
"Sigh, I don't know what backing you have, but this matter started because of us. I'll go with you, young brother. As for what comes after... we'll leave it to fate."
He clearly had no confidence in Yang Kai, thinking the young man was too hot-blooded, impulsive, and arrogant.
Even so, he chose to stay, unwilling to let Yang Kai fight alone.
"Thank you, old sir," Yang Kai said with a faint, silent smile.
"Brother Yang, we'll live and die with you!" The green-clad girl's cheeks flushed with excitement as she called out. Several of her fellow clansmen nodded beside her, their eyes showing a look of fearless resolve.
"Good!" Yang Kai nodded. "Mm, you can watch my back for me."
"Nonsense!" The old man was frantic, stomping his foot. "You... you're being too reckless!"
He had stayed behind with Yang Kai already resolved to die, hoping only to create an escape opportunity for the young people of his clan. He never expected them to make such an impulsive choice.
He was furious!
"Don't worry, old sir. I guarantee their safety," Yang Kai said casually, his face full of confidence.
"Oh, youth... truly doesn't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is."
"Does he still not know what huge trouble he's caused? Does he not know who he killed?"
"Heh heh, now this is interesting. Someone actually dares to oppose the City Lord's Manor. There's going to be a good show."
"The City Lord's Manor won't let this go easily. What a pity. Such a fine young man is going to lose his life in Bibō City today. Truly a shame."
Whispers spread from the surrounding onlookers. Many pointed at Yang Kai. Even more martial artists who heard the news were rushing over, wanting to join the commotion.
In an instant, the street was packed with people. Yang Kai and his group were surrounded three layers deep.
The previously arrogant big man now looked blank. Watching his companion being killed with a casual wave of Yang Kai's hand, dying miserably not far away, a chill swept from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Fear twisted his features.
He had never imagined anyone would truly dare to kill someone in Bibō City, let alone someone from the City Lord's Manor.
The sunlight before him seemed to be blocked. He looked up to see Yang Kai standing before him, arms crossed, looking down from on high. His gaze was like that of a giant dragon staring at an ant—utterly dismissive.
"Please spare my life, young brother!" The big man struggled to rise, then suddenly dropped to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly. "Please spare my life! It was my dog eyes that looked down on you. I had no intention of offending you. Please, young brother, be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
Compared to his own life, a little shame was nothing.
He no longer had the courage to challenge Yang Kai.
"Want to live?" Yang Kai smiled at him.
The big man nodded frantically.
Yang Kai nodded, his expression softening. "Mm. I can choose not to kill you."
"Thank you, young brother! Thank you!" The big man wept with relief. "What are your orders, young brother?"
He wasn't stupid. He knew Yang Kai was willing to let him go for a price.
"Is your City Lord still in the manor right now?" Yang Kai asked.
"Yes, yes! The City Lord is in the manor."
"Good. Lead the way!" Yang Kai gestured.
"Uh..." The big man froze, his expression becoming extremely awkward.
"Hurry!" Yang Kai kicked him and barked.
"Yes, yes!" The big man scrambled up, not daring to dawdle. He hurried ahead to lead the way.
"Fei'er, come with me. We're going to make some trouble at the City Lord's Manor!" Yang Kai waved to the green-clad girl and the others.
"Okay!" The young people immediately followed.
The old man looked dazed until Yang Kai and the others squeezed into the crowd and disappeared. He snapped out of it with a stamp of his foot and rushed after them in a flurry.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
That young man really didn't know the meaning of death. After killing someone from the City Lord's Manor in Bibō City, he wasn't fleeing immediately. Instead, he was actually going to cause trouble at the manor.
There truly was someone this audacious!
Who exactly was he? Did he really have some powerful backing, or was he just courting death?
Curiosity burned intensely. Everyone wanted to know this young man's ultimate fate, so naturally, they all followed.
In an instant, the entire Bibō City was in turmoil. A massive crowd of martial artists, led by Yang Kai, surged toward the City Lord's Manor, creating a tremendous commotion.
