As soon as Su Fen words left his mouth a wave of laughter enveloped the whole hall. Aside from Qing Yun and several others everyone was jeering at Su Fen. His words carried a faint confidence and pride as his body exuded an imposing demeanor akin to a mountain. However no one found his demeanor admirable.
They all saw this scene playing so many times before and knew how it will end. At first many of them felt some degree of respect for this young lad with an unwavering will. But as the time passed it transformed into pure contempt. So what if you come back every time if you’re gonna be trashed again. In those people eyes this kind of perseverance was more than foolish, it was purposely losing face.
Even the image of the Su Clan became increasingly smaller in their eyes as it was evident that they feared the Bloodstone Mercenaries. Not many knew of Su Fen’s wish to take care of this himself, so naturally the Su Clans actions gathered the contempt of many.
As for Tao Lin actions, no one thought of them as cowardness. So what if he use his men to trash Su Fen. Even if he were to take the field himself, how could Su Fen with his 4th layer of Houtian be a match for a 5th layer.
Tao Lin’s body shrouded, his eyes narrowed as killing intent flashed through them. At this moment he didn’t wish for nothing more than kill Su Fen himself. He didn’t care anymore for his father’s warning. With Xiao Clan and Qing Clan as their backing what could a mere Su Clan do?
However, every time he wanted to take a step forward his body would freeze as his heart would shudder in fright. For an arrogant person like him the mere thought of being afraid of someone made him go crazy.
Tao Lin savagely smiled, “Good, good, Su Fen you refuse to take the road to heaven, then don’t blame this young boss for being ruthless!” He waved to one of his men.
One of the 5th layer subordinates walked out. He looked at Su Fen with ridicule, “Trash, you…”
“Hahahaha!” A hearty laugh suddenly sounded. This laugh was by no means the loudest here but it carried a chilling air that made the whole hall fall into silence. Just like the breath of a death god it shrouded every one’s very soul in a layer of frost.
All the eyes in the hall followed the young man’s figure that walked out from behind Su Fen.
Qing Yun body was straight, he didn’t have an imposing aura like Su Fen, but he gave of a mysterious vibe that came from his dignified demeanor, “Haha, Brother Fen, you really opened this younger brother’s eyes!” He patted Su Fen on the shoulder, “That’s right! That’s how a man should be! That’s how a practitioner should be!”
Su Fen shoot a puzzled look at Qing Yun, “Brother Yun, you…”
Qing Yun waved his hand and stopped him, “Brother Fen, this dog head Tao Lin dares to proclaim your woman as his own and trow his weight around like a fool. That alone is worth more ten thousands deaths. As your younger brother how can I stay silent when those small fry insult you like this!” His contemptuous gaze swept over Tao Lin group.
Tao Lin mouth bent into an ugly smile, “Brat, who the hell are you!” One Su Fen was enough, with Qing Yun insulting him to made Tao Lin rage explode.
Qing Yun disregarded Tao Lin and continued, “Brother Fen, this dog head should be yours to kill, let the small fry to me.”
Qing Yun purposely spoke in a loud voice. His words left everyone with their mouth agape. Who was this youngster? Does he even know who is he speaking about? Su Fen was unwilling to back down in front of Tao Lin but even he wasn’t so arrogant. Apart from several people with grave expressions everyone else shoot mocking looks at Qing Yun.
“Brat, are you tired of life, you dare to insult our young boss, do you even know who the Bloodstone Mercenary are?” The 5th layer subordinates cried out.
Qing Yun mouth formed a disdainful smile, “Bloodstone Mercenaries? Ka, some dogs who don’t know anything better than kissing someone else’s ass. You actually look so proud when kissing that dog’s head ass, it really make one look down on you!”
“All this talk about how great you are, when your young boss hides behind his men like a scared turtle. Enough! I don’t have time for idiots, come at me all at once, don’t say that I didn’t give you any chance!”
Qing Yun’s arrogant demeanor left everyone speechless once more. This kid was really tired of living, how could he fight against all Su Fen subordinates at once. There were five 5th layer Houtian warriors, three at the 6th layer and two at the 7th layer. Even a peak Houtian warrior would have some headaches with this lineup.

“You’re courting death!” The 5th layer subordinate’s face darkened. A layer of Qi covered his fist as it shoot towards Qing Yun.
“Hee!” Qing Yun laughed mockingly. His fist shoot forward. It was just an ordinary fist. There was no technique nor any Qi behind it.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers started to laugh. They already started to imagine the bloody sight of Qing Yun being murdered. However the sight they expected didn’t took place and soon enough their faces became quite a sight to behold.
Bam!
Bang!
A gush of invisible energy gushed out from Qing Yun fist sending the 5th layer subordinate flying several meters into air before crashing into one of the tables.
The hall fell into silence once again. Everyone’s expression became grave as they looked at the thin figure of Qing Yun. The serving girl from earlier pressed her hands on her small mouth as her eyes had gone wide. Even Su Fen was flabbergasted, his eyes seemed about to fall down from their orbits. However being the only one here witnessing Qing Yun earlier clash with Xiao Clan’s second young master, he was also the first one to recover as his body trembled in excitement.
“Brother Yun, what exactly are you?” Su Fen murmured to himself. He looked at the guy who was sent flying. Both of his arms looked bloody as it was clear that every bone inside them was shattered.
Qing Yun turned to Tao Lin’s group again and smiled mockingly, “I told you to come all at once. Isn’t ganging up on someone your speciality? How else do you expect some trash like you to have a chance?!”
Qing Yun sneer made Tao Lin face twist in anger, “Kill them! Kill them both!” With fury suffusing his facial features he roared at his men. It seems he still didn’t intended to fight himself.
The four remaining subordinates at the 5th layer and the three at the 6th layer rushed forward, striking out with their fists towards Qing Yun.
The mark between Qing Yun brows let out a faint gleam as he shoot his feet forward.
Seven pairs of fists were emitting waves of faint gold light, punching towards Qing Yun with an incomparably quick speed as they caged Qing Yun in a flurry of fists shadows. Qing Yun outwardly looked to be in a difficult position, but he was inwardly calm as he dodged them with ease, and faded in and out of the shadows, only dodging each hit at the last possible moment.
Seeing this, the seven subordinates no longer dared to underestimate their enemy as they raised their auras to their peak. However Qing Yun could still dodge them with ease.
All members of the audience were staring mutely at this scene, as if their voices had been stolen by the impossible situation that had just occurred.
They looked at the scene unfolding before them as if they were struck by thunder. When Qing Yun sent the 5th layer Houtian warrior flying with a single punch it was already unbelievable, but now he was like a fish in the water as he dodged the moves of seven warriors at the middle levels of Houtian. It wouldn’t be weird if it was someone at the peak of Houtian doing this but the young man before them didn’t look older than sixteen. How could someone so young be able to achieve such a feat? One has to say that in this Tianlong City, if one would breakthrough into Houtian at sixteen they would be considered geniuses.
Among the flurry of fist shadows even Qing Yun was was struck dumb at his own performance. By his estimate he should be able to fight a 7th layer of Houtian with ease. But that didn’t explain the current situation.
He looked at the seven pair of fists punching at him and couldn’t help but feel that they were too slow. He could clearly see every move of the seven subordinates in slow motion.
“Hahaha!” Qing Yun laughed heartily. He was elated at this new revelation. This was his first fight as a practitioner and he couldn’t stop his heart from beating in excitement. As if reading Qing Yun excitement the crystalline core inside his dantian trembled as it sent wave after wave of energy throughout his body
Qing Yun feet stomped the ground furiously. The primordial Qi gathered on his fist as it was punched forward. An explosive might shoot at the four 5th layer subordinates. His body flashed and appeared in front of the three 6th layer subordinates. Two fists and one kick landed on their chests.
Bam, Bam, Bam, Bam!
Bam, Bam, Bam!
Ka Cha!
Seven deep muffled sounds followed by the sound of bones breaking were heard not long before seven silhouettes were sent flying in all direction.
The hall fell into silence for the third time. Every pair of eyes were staring at the young figure that stood straight in the middle of the hall. Eight bloody figures could be seen laying in different parts of the hall.
The serving girls eyes seemed to have gained several stars as they glanced at the handsome youth who didn’t look like he was fighting against seven people just now.
The silence didn't last for long before it was broken by Qing Yun’s chuckle, “Brother Fen, leave the last two to me, you take care of that dog head!”
Su Fen shuddered under those words. He looked at Qing Yun then at Tao Lin. At this moment, the later expression was filled with dread. Seeing this Su Fen’s body trembled involuntary, a wave of excitement filled his heart. He came here tonight to drink with his sworn brother, although he expected to bump into this bunch, he never thought that said brother will give him such a surprise. His biggest wish right now was to kill the bastard who dared to have wicked thoughts about his sweetheart.
He said no words, he just looked at Qing Yun with gratefulness and nodded before shooting a savage smile at Tao Lin.
Seeing this, Tao Lin took several steps back in fright before shouting at his remaining two subordinates, “What are you doing?! Stop them! Stop them!”
The two looked at each other and nodded as their feet stomped the ground and rushed towards Su Fen.
Qing Yun body flashed and appeared before the two 7th layer of Houtian warriors. He smiled and nodded to Su Fen before turning his head towards the two.
“Come! I’ll play with you!” He waved his hand as his aura was unleashed at it’s peak.
The two warriors were struck dumb, they could clearly feel that Qing Yun’s aura was merely as strong as 4th layer of Houtian. But how could it be possible? Even they, who were at the 7th layer, wouldn't be able to achieve such a feat. Their expressions turned grave as the Qi inside their bodies started to circulate at high speed.
