Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Slap in the Face!
“The Wei Triplets?” Huang Xiaolong gazed at Xia Ying seriously before shaking his head. “Never heard of them.”
Xia Ying was utterly speechless.
From the side, Jin Mengqi started to explain. “Master Huang, the so-called Wei Triplets refer to Wei Feilong, Wei Feihu, and Wei Feibao, the three brothers. They are also Wei Feiyang’s biological brothers~~”
It had been quite some days since the incident, and Jin Family, the prominent local family in Jiangnan City, naturally knew about Huang Xiaolong killing Wei Feiyang.
But Jin Mengqi did not seem particularly shocked.
Indeed, having witnessed that night’s duel, the summoning of the Ghost King, slaughtering Master Qiao, Master Zhao, and Master Zuo like dogs, these are extraordinary feats that mere mortals could only look up to. Therefore, killing a Wei Feiyang was not a big deal.
Jin Mengqi gathered her thoughts, then continued. “Master Huang, at the pinnacle of our domestic martial arts circle sits the ten great martial arts families, representing the lineage of Huaxia’s ancient martial arts, a height unattainable. People like us can only spend our entire lives looking up to them. The level directly beneath the ten great martial arts families is the so-called second tier, including the Wei Family, Xia Family, Hong Family… our Jin Family barely makes it into the second tier. However, once our grandfather passes away, we will be squeezed out of the second tier, perhaps managing to rank among the top tier of the third level.”
“Under the second tier… there are too many,” Jin Mengqi laughed.
“Oh, and what about the Sun Family in Binhai?” Huang Xiaolong asked curiously.
“Hehe~~ Binhai’s Sun Family at least ranks in the fourth tier, and towards the bottom at that,” Xia Ying said with a light tone.
“So weak? Well, no matter, after this year’s martial arts competition, the Sun Family in Binhai will be first tier,” Huang Xiaolong flashed a grin.
“What a big mouth!” Xia Ying said with disdain.
Jin Mengqi hurriedly took up the conversation. “Master Huang, the Wei Family is a major clan, existing just beneath the ten great martial arts families. In recent years, the number of geniuses the Wei Family has produced is astounding, starting with Wei Feilong, Wei Feihu, and Wei Feibao, who are known as the Triplets. They are martial arts geniuses. Each of them stepped into the Grandmaster realm at a very young age, extraordinary by any measure!”
“The Wei Triplets have been famous in domestic martial arts circles for a long time. They once dominated the martial arts competition arena. If the disciples of the ten great martial arts families did not join the battle, these three were invincible, causing their opponents to lose courage at the mere mention of their names. Later, the Wei Triplets were sent by the family to expand overseas, and it is said that they have already established a vast enterprise. And inheriting the glory of the Triplets was Wei Feiyang. This son began to show his promise last year, and this year he was already a half-step to the Grandmaster realm. Some predict that if Wei Feiyang could get rid of that bit of arrogance in his heart, he could sooner or later step into the realm of a true Grandmaster… It’s a shame his life was cut short”
“Importantly, the Wei Triplets have already arrived in Jiangnan City. They will not participate in the martial arts competition. However, they are surely planning to kill you… to avenge Wei Feiyang!” Xia Ying stared at Huang Xiaolong. “I wonder how you’re going to handle it?”
As for Huang Xiaolong, both Xia Ying and the entire Xia Family were interested.
After all, Huang Xiaolong killed the Half-Step Grandmaster Wei Feiyang with a single punch, a very rare feat among the younger generation in the domestic martial arts circle. Besides, Huang Xiaolong’s attack was not true qi, but pure physical strength, an extremely rare fighting style.
The Xia Family speculated that Huang Xiaolong must have mastered some ancient body refinement technique, one that could turn a human body into extremely strong steel and allow it to exert superhuman strength.
Therefore, the Xia Family also wanted a glimpse of Huang Xiaolong’s secrets. If Huang Xiaolong truly possessed such a body refinement secret technique, the Xia Family might have to take some measures.
Simply put, if such a secret technique fell into the hands of the Xia Family, without a doubt, the Xia Family would become the strongest existence in the second tier of the domestic martial arts circle!
“My response?” Huang Xiaolong looked baffled. “What else can I do? Just kill them all~~”
“You!” Huang Xiaolong’s words left Xia Ying choked. “You are too arrogant! Do you actually think that by killing Wei Feiyang, you’re invincible?”
“I am and have always been invincible,” Huang Xiaolong responded deadpan.
“Wei Feiyang had potential, but his potential was not fully realized. The Wei Triplets, on the other hand, are all Grandmasters of martial arts, each of them has formed over 10 strands of True Qi inside their bodies! They can move mountains and seas, rupture tigers and leopards with their bare hands. They can precisely control thousands of pounds of strength. They can burst people apart from a distance, catch the wind with a knife. Their various means, you could not even imagine! No matter how strong your body is, you cannot resist the strike of a martial arts Grandmaster!” Xia Ying spat furiously.
She herself was a martial arts Grandmaster, but she had only formed 2 strands of True Qi, which were not very powerful. Modern gun like a handgun could not kill her with a single shot, but it could still wound her. The distance at which she could attack with True Qi was just a few steps.
But the Wei Triplets were clearly much stronger.
“Alright~~” Fearing that Huang Xiaolong would become unhappy, Jin Mengqi hurriedly changed the subject. “Miss Xia, Master Huang will handle things properly. You don’t need to say too much.”
In her heart, Jin Mengqi sneered… ‘Miss Xia, do you really think that you have seen through Master Huang’s methods? That night when Master Huang was battling, if you had been present, you might have to kneel down before him on the spot! Furthermore, Ying Aoshan, a proud and beautiful prodigy like an ice-cold princess, is also throwing herself at him… How could Master Huang even care about the likes of the Wei Family!’
Jin Mengqi figured that even at the worst, Huang Xiaolong still had the support of the Ying Family, not to mention the Jin Family also had some abilities.
“Master Huang? What a joke, Master?” Xia Ying sneered.
Jin Mengqi continued. “Master Huang, generally speaking, in the family martial arts competition, there are two parts. The first part is the competition between various families for interests, dividing the shares of martial arts schools in the country. The second part is——revenge! Resolving disputes between families! If the Wei Family wants to take revenge on you justifiably, then on the day of the martial arts competition, they will directly challenge you.”
“The order of events for the match day starts with the first part, the ancient martial arts family contests. Then comes the second part, resolving grudges and disputes. For the first part, ancient martial grandmasters are not allowed to compete this year, at most, those who are half a step into grandmastership can. The second part will be an unrestricted fight, regardless of your cultivation level, anyone can enter the ring for revenge.”
Huang Xiaolong nods, indicating he understands.
At this point, Xia Ying spoke with a calm expression. “Since Wei Feiyang, an important rival, has encountered an accident, the Wei Family’s chances in this year’s ancient martial family boxing competition will also be reduced. Our Xia family might gain even more benefits.”
Right, even though the three fierce men from the Wei family had arrived at Jiangnan City, they were here to seek revenge against Huang Xiaolong. And with their grandmaster status in ancient martial arts, they were not allowed to participate in the first part of the competition.
Therefore, the Wei family, without Wei Feiyang, naturally fell behind the Xia Family, who was also an ancient martial family belonging to the second tier.
“In that case, the Xia family should be grateful to Master Huang,” Jin Mengqi said with a half smile.
Just then, a wicked masculine voice rang out. “Hey, can you several people shut your stinking mouths? This young master is trying to have a drink here, and your incessant chatter is disturbing my tranquility. What should be the punishment for this?”
This sudden hostile comment made Huang Xiaolong, Xia Ying, and Jin Mengqi all turn in its direction.
The speaker was a young man, just about twenty years old, sitting at a nearby table. He had an arrogant air, much like some kind of esteemed official making a visit to a rural area.
This young man had deep-set eyes and arched eyebrows, a truly arrogant facade.
Underneath his skin, it seemed as if several whirlwinds were howling.
He was a young ancient martial arts grandmaster!
Perhaps Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi could not see through the young man’s capabilities, but Huang Xiaolong saw at glance that this person had already condensed 4 strands of True Qi within his body!
His cultivation exceeded Xia Ying, who was also a Grandmaster.
Moreover, standing behind the young man were two middle-aged men in their forties. They stood erect like javelins, their expressions indifferent and the corners of their mouths sneered cruelly.
These two were also ancient martial grandmasters, and they had both condensed 7 strands of True Qi within their bodies!
‘Hehe… interesting. Two ancient martial grandmasters who have condensed 7 strands of True Qi acting as bodyguards for this youth… are they grandmasters working as bodyguards? They must come from significant backgrounds, at least on par with Ying Aoshan’s status…’ Huang Xiaolong thought amusedly.
“Hmph! What business is it of yours what we talk about here? Do you own this restaurant?” Xia Ying responded indignantly. As a martial arts grandmaster, she wouldn’t be silenced by a single comment.
“Hahahaha~~~ you dare to talk back?” The young man jeered at Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi, then said. “You are both passable in looks. How about joining me for a drink? If I am pleased, naturally, I will forgive your impudence today.”
“Insolence!” Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi rebuked in unison.
“This is Jiangnan City, and I belong to the Jin Family. It would be best if you didn’t cross the line!” Jin Mengqi warned.
“Hahaha~~~ Jin family? Hahaha~~~” The youth laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“I belong to the Xia Family. Is this satisfactory enough for you to shut up?” Xia Ying looked at the frivolous young man with great disgust.
“You’re courting death!” The young man’s eyes turned cold, “Originally, I just wanted you girls to accompany me for drinks, but now, I have changed my mind. You two wretches, tonight, you are to share my bed! If you are still virgins, I will let you go tomorrow morning; if you are not, I will cripple you!”
This outrageous claim left Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi in a state of shock.
“Jin Family? Xia Family? What insignificant families! I am from the Yan family! Is this enough for you to obediently remove your pants and crawl into my bed? You ungrateful imbeciles! Slap them!” The youth’s domineering words were followed by a sinister laugh. One of the middle-aged men standing behind him smirked and started walking this way.
The Yan family?
In an instant, the hearts of both Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi sank to the bottom.
Their faces were filled with expressions of sheer shock and horror!
