"Boy, I'll kill you today!"
Seeing the damaged house and the pool of blood, Zhao Lin went completely mad. His face contorted, and his hands formed eagle claws as he lunged at Er Zhu.
Er Zhu pursed his lips speechlessly, unsure of what to say.
If he remembered correctly, Zhao Lin had punched himself. He had injured his own disciple and was now blaming him.
No wonder Niu Er Mang was so unreasonable; he learned it from his master.
Seeing that Er Zhu still had the presence of mind to wander, Zhao Lin became even more furious. His bloodshot eyes widened, and his speed doubled!
Whoosh...
Er Zhu was momentarily stunned, and Zhao Lin's claws were already in front of him, just one step away from grabbing his throat!
At that very moment, Er Zhu moved. He grabbed Zhao Lin's wrist and, with a twist, the eagle claw drooped instantly!
"Ah!"
Overwhelming pain surged through Zhao Lin, and he let out cries of agony. A flash of shock flickered in his enraged eyes!
He had reached his limit in speed, yet this kid was even faster!
He had thought he was the pinnacle of the town's martial arts world, but he never expected there were greater talents beyond his own!
"Are you convinced?"
Er Zhu glanced at the faint cries for help coming from the ruins, then at the sweating Zhao Lin, and asked calmly.
"Convinced, my foot! I'll have you know, I have connections with many influential families. Just wait and die!"
Although Zhao Lin was shocked, it was only for a moment. In front of this arrogant junior and his disciple, he would never surrender!
Therefore, he had to reveal his trump card!
The reason Zhao Lin was so respected in town, besides his own cultivation, was his vast network of connections!
He knew almost everyone, from third-rate to first-rate influential families!
With just a phone call, crushing Er Zhu would be as simple as crushing an ant!
"Heh, alright, then call them all over."
Er Zhu found Zhao Lin's confident demeanor amusing. He sneered and released Zhao Lin.
Just a bodyguard, he wondered how many influential families he could possibly know!
"Fine, you wait!"
Seeing Er Zhu's nonchalant attitude, Zhao Lin's anger flared. He suppressed the intense pain and frantically operated his phone.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he had invited almost everyone from the influential families in town!
"You probably don't know this, but my master used to be the personal bodyguard of a patriarch of an influential family!"
"That's right, especially one major family, whose patriarch was like a teacher and friend to my master. Your end today is death!"
"Idiot, you really think a pair of fists can conquer the world? You're just a reckless brute!"
...
The blue-haired man and his companions, having recovered, taunted Er Zhu sarcastically. But Er Zhu seemed not to hear them at all.
To people in influential families, even a personal bodyguard was merely a servant.
How incredibly foolish was Zhao Lin to think such a relationship constituted a powerful connection!
Er Zhu pursed his lips speechlessly, finding it more and more amusing the more he thought about it.
"You guys should focus on digging out your fellow disciples instead of spouting nonsense. Is this interesting?"
Seeing the blue-haired man and others about to mock him further, Er Zhu's gaze fell upon the ruins, his eyes filled with disdain.
"You!"
The blue-haired man was rendered speechless. They wanted to retort, but hearing the faint cries for help, they didn't know what to say.
This was too damn humiliating!
He had been by Zhao Lin's side for over twenty years and had never felt so disgraced!
The blue-haired man's face turned crimson. Although he wanted to challenge Er Zhu, he thought of Er Zhu's fierce skills and his buried fellow disciples, and could only temporarily give up.
After all, people would come to deal with him soon, so he didn't need to win this verbal sparring match!
"Kid, I know what you're thinking, but let me tell you, my relationship with those big shots is far more complicated than you imagine!"
Seeing Er Zhu covering his mouth and chuckling, Zhao Lin suppressed his pain and added triumphantly.
The relationship between an ordinary bodyguard and a patriarch was naturally one of master and servant, but what about those who had gone through life and death together?
Besides, ever since he founded the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, the conveniences provided by various powers had been evident for all to see!
"Please hurry, it's almost dawn!"
Er Zhu casually picked at his ear and pointed at the dawning sky, sounding impatient.
He wondered if Sister Mei would believe him. If not, it would be a considerable loss.
"Good boy, you asked for this!"
Zhao Lin's expression became even more colorful. He shouted angrily and then fell silent.
Half an hour passed, and not a single person from an influential family arrived. The blue-haired man and his companions, however, managed to rescue several fellow disciples.
"What are you all doing? Hurry over here!"
Zhao Lin's face turned red with anger. He roared furiously into his phone.
"Director Zhao, who dares to cause trouble for you? Don't they want to live?"
As soon as Zhao Lin finished speaking, an old man's voice came from the entrance. Zhao Lin's eyes lit up as if he had found a lifeline.
Elder Chen!
Elder Chen was the head of the Chen family, one of the three major families in the city, and the most powerful person among all the big shots he knew!
"Elder Chen, it's this kid!"
Zhao Lin summoned all his strength to stand up and quickly approached, grabbing Elder Chen and pointing at Er Zhu.
"Er Zhu?"
"Elder Chen!"
As their eyes met, both of them exclaimed each other's names simultaneously. At this exclamation, Zhao Lin's face turned green!
This kid actually knew Elder Chen too!
Damn it, this was utterly unbelievable!
The blue-haired man and his companions, who had just rescued all their fellow disciples and were ready to watch the show, were stunned by this scene.
They looked at each other, shock evident in their eyes, and their faces instantly turned red.
They had a bad premonition; the situation was about to reverse!
"Zhao Lin, what in the world is going on? Why did you offend Er Zhu!"
Elder Chen's eyes flickered, as if he had guessed something. He turned and questioned Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin's face was pale. Looking at Elder Chen's impatient expression, he felt incredibly uneasy.
He and Elder Chen had always had a good relationship. In the past, no matter what happened, Elder Chen would always stand by his side without asking for reasons. But this time...
So, did this kid have an even better relationship with Elder Chen than he did?
Thinking this, Zhao Lin's heart sank to the bottom, and a chill ran down his spine!
"Er Zhu is my savior. If you don't explain yourself today, don't blame me, Chen, for turning hostile!"
Bang!
Elder Chen's words sent Zhao Lin collapsing to the ground in despair. He suddenly felt like a complete fool!
His opponent was the very person his trump card had saved!
How could he possibly break out of this situation!
As for the blue-haired man and his companions, their expressions were even more ghastly than if they had eaten a fly. They stared at Er Zhu in disbelief, their eyeballs nearly falling out!
