Long Xiao bought a pile of groceries and was walking out of the market with them. The two hoodlums who had been following him took out their phones and started making calls.
As soon as Long Xiao exited the market, a van screeched to a halt in front of him, blocking his path.
The door slid open, and a burly man wearing a cutoff tank top jumped out. Four more small-time thugs followed him down.
"Are you the live-in son-in-law of the Lin family, Long Xiao?" the big man asked.
Long Xiao smiled, nodded, and said, "That's right. Do you need something from me?"
"My boss needs something from you."
They were just a few lackeys, so Long Xiao didn't make a move. He wanted to see who wanted to cause him trouble.
"Then let's go," Long Xiao said, pushing past the big man and getting into the van.
The big man was stunned. He hadn't expected this. In his imagination, Long Xiao would have bolted. He had already instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on Long Xiao and not let him escape.
"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up, don't delay my trip home to cook."
Long Xiao's shout jolted the big man into action, and he quickly gestured for his subordinates to get into the van.
After turning onto Binjiang Avenue, the van sped along the river. About half an hour later, they crossed a bridge and entered the Xishan Villa District.
The Xishan Villa District was developed early, and now it was full of tall buildings, with many old villas interspersed among various high-end residential communities.
The van stopped in front of a large iron gate. After honking twice, two security guards in uniform ran out and opened the gate.
Soon, the van pulled up in front of the main villa.
"We're here, get out," the big man said, giving Long Xiao a shove.
Long Xiao got out and looked around. The yard wasn't very large, and there were more than a dozen people watching him from the shadows.
"Where's your boss?" Long Xiao asked.
The big man glared. "What do you mean, you want Brother Hu to come and greet you?"
Long Xiao snorted. "Since you brought me here, this matter needs a resolution. If he doesn't come out, I'll beat him out."
"Beat him, hahaha." The big man let out a strange laugh. "In Xicheng, no one dares to mention hitting Brother Hu. If you wanted a beating, you should have said so earlier. You're wasting our time."
Long Xiao took a few steps back. "Then let's begin."
The four thugs from the van and the big man surrounded Long Xiao. Long Xiao waved his hands, striking left and right. The sound of slaps echoed, and all five of them fell to the ground.
The five were stunned. None of them had seen how Long Xiao moved. They only heard the sound of slaps before they collapsed.
"Brothers, grab your weapons, cripple him first," the big man roared as he got up.
The big man and the four thugs took baseball bats from the van and charged at Long Xiao, swinging wildly.
Long Xiao stood there, smiling, and waited for them to get close. He then swung his right hand, and the sound of slaps rang out again.
The five fell to the ground once more, their baseball bats flying. Their faces were all swollen; Long Xiao had used more force this time.
The dozen people hidden in the shadows saw that the big man and the four thugs were no match for Long Xiao, so they emerged and rushed towards him.
These men surrounded Long Xiao, adjusting their positions. Their attacks were well-organized, clearly indicating they had been trained.
Long Xiao still stood there smiling. As they approached, he again swung his arms, slapping them.
The crisp sound of slaps continued, and one by one, the burly men were sent flying backward, collapsing onto the ground.
Just as the van entered the villa, a refined young man was watching from a second-floor window.
Seeing Long Xiao beat up a few thugs, the young man remained calm. However, when he saw more than a dozen guards being knocked flying, a look of nervousness appeared on his face.
In the second-floor living room, a burly man with a broad back and muscular physique was drinking tea. Three men and women in suits stood behind him.
On the third floor, Xiao Hui stood beside Feng Yuyan, a wide grin on his face as he watched the yard. "Yuyan, that scumbag Long Xiao is here. My cousin is here; he's doomed."
"That's for sure. No one in Xicheng can stop Brother Hu's influence. He won't be leaving this villa today."
"Sister Yuyan, this guy seems quite capable of fighting," said a girl standing next to Feng Yuyan.
Behind Xiao Hui, a man in a checkered suit said, "No matter how good he is at fighting, he can't beat Brother Hu. He's finished."
Long Xiao clapped his hands after the fight. Outside the villa gate, more than a dozen more burly men armed with controlled weapons appeared and charged towards Long Xiao.
Seeing these men charging at him with knives, Long Xiao's expression slowly turned icy. Since they intend to kill me, I see no reason to hold back any longer.
Long Xiao punched and charged towards the dozen men. He unleashed the "Furious Dragon Fist." The dozen men felt as if a roaring giant dragon was charging at them. Before they could even swing their knives, they were struck by immense force.
Using only one move per person, he threw more than a dozen punches. The dozen men screamed and fell to the ground. Their knives clattered to the ground. Each of them had a shattered bone in their arm or shoulder.
"Come on, again!" Long Xiao roared.
"Brother Hu, bad news! All the brothers outside have been taken down!" the young man by the window on the second floor could no longer remain calm. He turned and shouted.
Brother Hu put down his teacup and walked to the window, looking at his subordinates lying all over the yard. "Gather the brothers who are on duty outside and get rid of this guy for me."
The refined young man quickly took out his phone to make a call. The other three young men followed Brother Hu downstairs to confront Long Xiao.
Long Xiao watched calmly as Brother Hu and the three young people walked out of the main building. "Are you their boss?"
Brother Hu looked at his fallen brothers on the ground, then at Long Xiao. "You're very good at fighting. Do you want to be brothers with me, A'Hu of Xicheng?"
Long Xiao smiled. "You think too much. I won't be anyone's dog."
"You broke into my villa. Do you think you can leave intact?"
"You invited me here. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult for me to leave."
A'Hu nodded. "You've got guts. You four brothers, go and kill him."
The three men and women who came out with A'Hu, along with the elegant young man, were A'Hu's four top enforcers. They were all at the Yellow Realm intermediate level and rarely took action.
Each of the four men held a military knife and surrounded Long Xiao.
Just then, a phone rang. Long Xiao reached into his left pocket, answered the call, and waved his right hand at the four enforcers. "Come on together, don't waste time."
Long Xiao didn't take the four men seriously. While answering the phone, he moved with light steps, using the 'Chimi Carefree Steps,' moving quickly and launching a punch with his right hand.
The crisp sound of slaps rang out again. The four men couldn't tell where the slaps were coming from. They only felt a gust of wind, heard the slaps, and couldn't find anywhere to dodge.
"Hello, Old Li, what's the matter?"
"Master, your relative's internal injuries have suddenly worsened. I can only keep him alive, but I can't heal him."
"I'll give you a prescription, and he'll be cured after taking it for a while. Yesterday, I put too much medicine in the medicinal meal I made, and he ate quite a bit of it. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."
A'Hu, watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded. His strength was at the peak of the Yellow Realm, and he couldn't even see how Long Xiao was moving.
Soon, after hundreds of slaps, the four men were beaten into a pulp by Long Xiao.
As Long Xiao recited the prescription, asking Li Yizhen to write it down, the screech of brakes was heard. More than a dozen cars stopped in front of the villa.
As the people got out of the cars, they opened their trunks, took out baseball bats, machetes, and daggers, and charged at Long Xiao.
Long Xiao kicked away the young man in front of him. With a hook of his right foot, a baseball bat flew up and landed in his right hand.
The roar of killing filled the air. Long Xiao gripped the baseball bat in his right hand and held his phone with Li Yizhen in his left. As the attackers got closer, he swung the baseball bat and charged at them.
Screams echoed endlessly. The more than fifty people who had stormed the villa were sent flying backward one by one. Outside the villa, more cars were arriving, and people were taking out weapons to attack Long Xiao.
After Long Xiao finished his call, there were one hundred and fifty to sixty people lying inside and outside the villa. Each of them had broken bones and were groaning on the ground.
Some couldn't get up, and a large portion dared not get up again, because they saw that those who tried to get up again were injured even more severely.
