Chapter 16 - Slapping Faces

Members of the Tian and Wan Clans joined in ridiculing Liu Wuxie.

Xu Lingxue wanted to stand up, but Liu Wuxie held her down and gave her a reassuring look.

“Trash, this is not the place for someone like you. You should visit places like the brothels instead.” Tian Hong spoke up, not far away from Liu Wuxie. He was the one who hired Scarred Tiger to sabotage the Xu Clan’s Weaponry Workshop. But because of Scarred Tiger and his mercenary group’s failure, the patriarch heavily reprimanded him.

“Trash, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you dumb?” Tian Yequan sneered.

Only the Song Clan sat quietly at their table, unwilling to be involved. But a fatty suddenly stepped forward from the Song Clan’s table and yelled, “You bastards have taken it too far, and I can’t watch any longer. Are you guys considered men to gang up on one person?”

This fatty had a baby face, and his loud voice made everyone jump. Other Song Clan members wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

“Song Ling, mind your own business.” Tian Yequan’s gaze became cold. Song Clan was the head of the four big clans, and they had a close relationship with the Li Clan of the imperial capital. So the Song Clan naturally didn’t fear Xue Yu and dared to stand up for Liu Wuxie.

“Come and fight me, one-on-one, if you have the guts. What’s so impressive about bullying someone weaker than you?” Song Ling strode over and stood behind Liu Wuxie. This turn of events naturally stumped Liu Wuxie, and he couldn’t help finding this fatty interesting.

The Wan and Tian Clan’s members gritted their teeth with hatred but couldn’t afford to offend the Song Clan, especially this fatty. This fatty was the only son of the Song Clan’s patriarch, and the entire Song Clan greatly doted on him.

“Trash, do you think you can escape with someone standing up for you? Young Master Xue gave you the honor, but you’re the one who didn’t want it. So don’t blame us for being impolite with you!” Tian Yequan could only vent his anger on Liu Wuxie, wanting nothing more than to throw him out of the colosseum.

“Oh? Do you mind going into details about how you will be impolite with me?” Liu Wuxie wore a devilish smile.

The conversation between him and Tian Yequan was loud and spread throughout the colosseum. At that moment, two people entered the area from the covered bridge, led by an old man.

“I’ll cripple you and throw you out of this place. A piece of garbage like you shouldn’t be here.” Tian Yequan wanted to slap Liu Wuxie when he finished talking.

Xu Lingxue wanted to help Liu Wuxie, but he stopped her. When Tian Yequan’s palm was about to land on Liu Wuxie’s face, a person appeared beside Liu Wuxie, and his attack was ten times faster than Tian Yequan's.

With a resounding slap, Tian Yequan flew out and smashed into the crowd. The events unfolded so suddenly that no one expected anyone to take action in this place.

“What’s going on?” Everyone was dumbfounded. Shouldn’t Liu Wuxie be the one flying out? So why was he still sitting there, with a burly man suddenly appearing behind him?

Xu Lingxue was also stumped. She had already summoned her Xiantian Spirit, but to her surprise, someone was even faster and sent Tian Yequan flying out with a slap.

Liu Wuxie’s words instantly made Master Huo feel relieved. The members of the Wan and Tian Clans also rose to their feet, with blood dripping from their lips and several teeth knocked out.

“Bitch, no one can refuse me! No one!” Xue Yu ripped off his disguise as a gentleman, and his words made Xu Lingxue’s delicate figure tremble in anger.

Liu Wuxie clapped his hands without a hint of anger on his face. Instead, he wore a harmless smile, the same smile he showed when he severed Scarred Tiger’s arm.

“Based on what you said earlier, the Xue Clan will be struck off from the Great Yan Dynasty not long from now,” Liu Wuxie said calmly, but his words made everyone’s hair stand on end. The Xue Clan was a powerful clan with a history of five centuries.

Xue Yu responded as though he had just heard the funniest joke ever and laughed out loud, saying, “Hahaha! Are you trying to make me die of laughter?”

He wasn’t the only one, but everyone else was laughing as well. The Xue Clan was like the moon in the sky, while Liu Wuxie couldn’t even be considered a firefly. So this was no different from an ant saying it would topple an elephant.

“This trash has gone insane. Not even the Treasure Pill Pavilion can save you today!” Wan Butong didn’t know why Master Huo would stand with Liu Wuxie. But with Xue Yu around, Liu Wuxie would definitely die today.

“Young Master Xue, please kill this trash!” Tian Yequan said in a grievous tone. He suffered the heaviest injury by Lei Tao, with half of his cheeks swollen. He could only appease his anger with Liu Wuxie’s death.

Everyone’s gazes fell on Xue Yu, who released his Xiantian Spirit and his aura toward Liu Wuxie. This instantly made Master Huo nervous because who could treat him if Liu Wuxie died?

Wan Butong sneered and looked at Liu Wuxie like he was looking at a dead person. He wanted to see how Liu Wuxie would be killed.

“Young Master Xue, can you give me face and let this matter go?” Master Huo stood in front of Liu Wuxie. If Liu Wuxie died, he couldn’t live more than three months. So he was determined to protect Liu Wuxie even if he offended the Xue Clan.

“A mere two-star alchemist like you dares to obstruct me?” Xue Yu became furious, and his Xiantian Spirit grew even stronger. His eyes were filled with mockery because two-star alchemists were nothing in the imperial city; they only had some status in the countryside, like Azure Billow City.

The surrounding atmosphere became tense, like a battle could break out at any moment. But there was no doubt that Liu Wuxie would suffer if a fight broke out.

Xue Yu slowly approached Liu Wuxie. Xu Lingxue would belong to him if he killed Liu Wuxie.

“Today’s events have been a bit overwhelming. The Treasure Pill Pavilion unexpectedly sided with Liu Wuxie, and Xue Yu appeared out of nowhere. He seems to have a powerful background that even the Treasure Pill Pavilion is afraid of.” The patriarchs of several smaller clans gathered to discuss the situation. They could get a sense of the conversation since they were close to the conflict.

“He seems to be from the Xue Clan of the imperial capital. There’s a show to watch now. The Xu Clan will have a hard time in the future if they offend the Xue Clan!” The small clans couldn’t be compared to the four big clans in terms of their strength. But if Xu Clan were to disappear, they could take advantage to rise, gobbling Xu Clan’s territory and even replacing them as one of the big four.

“But Liu Wuxie is the surprising one. Everyone says he’s trash, but he doesn’t look like one judging from his behavior today. He’s nothing like the rumors at all.”

Xue Yu had already approached Liu Wuxie, who took a deep breath and grasped the hilt of his blade with his right hand.

Right then, Xu Lingxue stepped forward. She took out a medal from her bosom and slammed it on the table. “Xue Yu,” she said, “I’m the disciple of Baili Qing in the Imperial Academy. Why don’t you try and make a move?”
