"Xiao Yunlong, you've indeed come!" Jun Zifang's voice was deep and cold. She wasn't surprised, nor was she afraid.
Although Xiao Yunlong had defeated the Third Elder in the tea room this morning, it didn't signify much. At best, it only proved that this fellow named Xiao had some skill.
But so what? The Jun family was a powerful ancient clan with vast influence and numerous experts. Moreover, the First Elder served as a martial arts instructor in the Jiangdong Martial Alliance!
It was important to note that the Jiangdong Martial Alliance was a higher entity than the Sucheng Martial Arts Association. It was the official martial arts organization of the Dragon Country, comprising skilled practitioners. Being an instructor in such an organization, teeming with martial arts masters, was proof enough of his capabilities.
Xiao Yunlong ignored Jun Zifang and the others and went directly to check on Liu Ruyan. Fortunately, she had only been drugged and was unharmed.
Master Fo quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's fortunate that I arrived promptly with my men, otherwise Jun Zifang and her group would have succeeded!"
"I appreciate your help!" Xiao Yunlong nodded, but his gaze remained chillingly cold.
"It's my duty!" Master Fo breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Junfeng surveyed Xiao Yunlong and sneered, "Hey, Xiao, what did you just say? Telling me to call my father? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth to say such a thing! Do you know who my father is to dare speak like that!"
Xiao Yunlong turned his gaze, sharp as a blade, towards him and said, word by word, "I'll ask you one thing: were you involved in today's affair?"
"That's right, not only was I involved, but it was my idea! Let me tell you, Xiao, my father is the Director of General Affairs for the City Defense Bureau. If you know what's good for you, get on your knees, apologize to us, and get out. As for this little lady on the bed, this young master I..."
Bai Junfeng was still boasting with a mocking and arrogant demeanor.
However, before he could finish, Xiao Yunlong moved, delivering a kick that sent him flying.
Bai Junfeng slammed heavily against the wall, then slowly slid down, finally collapsing in a corner, spitting blood incessantly.
"You dare touch the scales of a powerful dragon, truly not knowing how you'll die!" Xiao Yunlong coldly rebuked, then turned his attention back to Jun Zifang.
Jun Zifang was stunned by this scene, retreating backward continuously while shouting, "Hey Xiao, I warn you not to mess around, or my Jun family will never let this go. You'd better think carefully!"
Jun Feifan also snorted, "Hey Xiao, I've already made a call. The Jun family has dispatched a large contingent and will arrive soon. If you dare to touch us, I guarantee you and that little slut surnamed Liu will not be able to leave alive..."
However, before Jun Feifan could finish speaking, Xiao Yunlong kicked him away again.
Jun Feifan also crashed heavily against the wall, dislodging tiles as he slid down. He was spitting blood continuously, his internal organs likely displaced.
Xiao Yunlong then turned and walked towards Jun Zifang, step by step.
Jun Zifang instinctively retreated, but the doorway was blocked by Master Fo's men. She could only retreat further, soon finding herself cornered against the wall with nowhere left to go.
"Xiao Yunlong, I'll say it one last time. My Jun family is an ancient aristocratic family in Sucheng, and our power is far beyond your imagination. You'd better calm down..."
Xiao Yunlong reached out and grabbed her neck, stating coldly, "Last time, out of consideration for Jun Bufan, I merely hung you up and taught you a minor lesson. I thought you would restrain yourself. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong unleashed two lightning-fast kicks. With a cracking sound, Jun Zifang let out a piercing scream, her legs broken.
"Ah... Xiao, you dog! You actually dared to act! You broke my legs! You're dead, you know that? You will surely die tonight!"
Jun Zifang knelt on the ground, shouting incessantly.
"Breaking your legs is just an appetizer. The main course is yet to come. You keep mentioning the Jun family and the Bai family. Tonight, I want to see who is truly destined to die!"
Xiao Yunlong said with a cold, sneering tone. He then looked at Master Fo and instructed, "Take these three guys downstairs. Remember to tell your subordinates to be gentle and not kill them. Today, I'll let them see clearly that the Jun and Bai families they rely on are nothing but a joke in front of me!"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao!" Master Fo immediately nodded.
"Also, clear out everyone downstairs. And for these two eighteen-line female artists, as accomplices, chop off one finger each!" Xiao Yunlong said with a terrifying aura.
The stout Master Fo dared not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, two subordinates rushed forward and grabbed the two female artists. Despite their hysterical cries and pleas, they were eventually dragged away.
Soon, Jun Zifang, Jun Feifan, and Bai Junfeng were also carried downstairs. Master Fo dared not trouble these three young masters too much. After placing them on the sofas, he began ordering his men to clear the area. Before long, the numerous crew members were driven away, and the noisy hall fell silent.
In the bedroom upstairs, Xiao Yunlong helped Liu Ruyan up and then placed his hand on her chest. With a few pulses of internal energy, Liu Ruyan soon regained consciousness from her daze. She blinked her hazy eyes and, upon seeing Xiao Yunlong, threw herself into his arms.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao. It's my fault for being too careless, making you worry again. I wish I hadn't attended this gathering!" Liu Ruyan said.
Xiao Yunlong patted her head and gently comforted her, "You don't need to blame yourself. It was my carelessness. It's alright now, with me here, no one can harm you!"
"Thank you, Yunlong!" Liu Ruyan said softly.
Just then, the sound of car horns echoed from downstairs, and bright, dazzling headlights illuminated almost the entire street.
Cars stopped outside the Weiyang Qingba, and then Jun family bodyguards, armed with clubs and swords, emerged from the vehicles and swarmed inside.
Xiao Yunlong poured Liu Ruyan a cup of water and said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Stay here for now. I'll go downstairs and handle things."
"Then Yunlong, you must be careful!" Liu Ruyan called out.
"Don't worry, they're just clowns, not worth mentioning!" Xiao Yunlong smiled and then turned to head downstairs.
Downstairs, a burly middle-aged man from the Jun family, accompanied by over thirty bodyguards and thugs, charged in.
"Fat Buddha, have you grown a bear's heart and leopard's gall to dare challenge my Jun family?" The burly middle-aged man, Jun Zhengqing, glared at Master Fo and shouted coldly.
Master Fo replied, "I am not challenging your Jun family. It's just that your Jun family juniors have been acting recklessly and wantonly, harming my company's artists. I was forced to act out of necessity."
"Forced to act out of necessity? You even beat my nephew Feifan until he vomited blood!" Jun Zhengqing questioned.
However, when he saw that Jun Zifang's legs were broken, Jun Zhengqing became furious. Gritting his teeth, he roared, "Fat Buddha, you actually dared to break my niece's legs! Damn it, if I don't kill you today, I'll write my name backward!"
Saying this, Jun Zhengqing was about to make a move.
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong slowly descended the stairs and said with a faint hum, "I'm the one who broke your niece's legs. This Fat Buddha doesn't have the guts."
Jun Zhengqing was taken aback. He looked at Xiao Yunlong and then said in a low voice, "It seems you are that Xiao Yunlong?"
"Indeed, it is I!" Xiao Yunlong walked up to him, step by step.
Jun Zhengqing's face turned ashen. He sneered repeatedly, "Good, very good. You brat are truly audacious. My Jun family has been established in Sucheng for decades, and no one has ever dared to provoke and humiliate us like this. Today, I must kill you, you brat!"
"Alright, then I'll see how you intend to kill me!" Xiao Yunlong grinned mockingly.
"Everyone, attack! Kill him!" Jun Zhengqing waved his hand, and the more than thirty burly bodyguards around him charged forward, brandishing their weapons.
Master Fo quickly retreated, not daring to intervene, only ordering his men to guard the stairwell.
"What is the Jun family? Ignorant fools!"
Xiao Yunlong let out a cold roar, lightly tapping his foot, and instantly charged out.
The lights of the Qingba flickered. At this moment, Xiao Yunlong seemed to have transformed into streaks of afterimages.
Everyone only heard a series of thuds, and then the Jun family bodyguards were sent flying. Throughout the entire process, no one could clearly see Xiao Yunlong's figure.
These so-called Jun family bodyguards couldn't even touch Xiao Yunlong's clothes, let alone kill him.
In just a few breaths, all thirty-plus Jun family bodyguards were knocked to the ground.
Jun Zhengqing panicked at the sight. A powerful pressure emanated from him. He suddenly wanted to run, but his legs suddenly felt heavy, and he couldn't take a single step.
Just then, a figure flashed, and Xiao Yunlong appeared directly in front of him.
Before Jun Zhengqing could react, Xiao Yunlong punched him, sending him flying backward. The retreating Jun Zhengqing crashed through several tables and chairs before landing on the ground, where he lay motionless like a dead dog.
Master Fo, standing in the stairwell, had his mouth agape, his face filled with shock.
Although he had known that Mr. Xiao was powerful, he never imagined he would be this strong. After all, Jun Zhengqing was considered a notable expert among the second generation of the Jun family, and the thirty-plus bodyguards he brought were also skilled fighters.
Yet, even so, they were subdued by Mr. Xiao in just a few exchanges.
In fact, Master Fo didn't know that Xiao Yunlong hadn't even used twenty percent of his strength. At this point, even Xiao Yunlong himself didn't know how powerful he had become. He only knew that if he unleashed his full power, this wooden pavilion Qingba might collapse!
Blood continuously flowed from the corner of Jun Zhengqing's mouth. He suddenly regretted it. When he came earlier, the Third Elder had already told him that the fellow named Xiao Yunlong was not to be trifled with and warned him not to act impulsively.
But he had refused to listen, thinking that a young boy who hadn't even fully grown could not be that strong.
The hall suddenly fell silent. However, in this strange quietude, the roar of engines was suddenly heard from outside. Soon, several cars stopped at the entrance, and City Defense Bureau guards alighted from the vehicles.
Bai Junfeng, who had slightly recovered, saw this and shouted, "It's the City Defense Bureau guards! It's my father! My father has brought reinforcements!"
"Haha, that's great... Hey Xiao, now let's see if you don't die!"
Bai Junfeng shouted madly, his็ฐ็ face filled with intense malice and hatred.
Xiao Yunlong stood still, a hint of mocking amusement playing on his lips.
Bai Zhenwei was carried out of the car. His legs had been forcibly broken at noon, and after being fixed at the hospital, he was finally able to move.
However, upon receiving his son's call, which stated that someone had beaten his son until he vomited blood and even intended to kill his son, Bai Zhenwei could no longer sit still. He immediately summoned his privately trained soldiers and rushed over in a rage.
Bai Zhenwei sat in a wheelchair, slowly entering as he was pushed by a trusted subordinate.
"Father, you're finally here! It's this brat! He's the one who beat me until I vomited blood! This damned brat even broke Cousin Zifang's legs! Hurry up and tell your men to move and apprehend this dog!" Bai Junfeng yelled.
Bai Zhenwei was about to unleash a torrent of angry threats, but when he clearly saw Xiao Yunlong standing in the center of the hall, he froze on the spot. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with intense dread.
