◇ 【113】 The Nemesis of the Nemesis
Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaoshan's anger burned, his hands shaking beneath the counter. Every jade shop's warehouse is a prime location, not only because it holds a vast amount of raw jade, but also because many of these raw materials are high-quality. Some owners keep these fine jades as collections, never intending to sell them, while others keep them as their top-shelf pieces, selling them to reputable customers or at large auctions for greater profits. Given these four men's talent for gambling on jade, if Liang Xiaoshan were to let them into the warehouse, he would surely lose everything.
These four people are going too far! Liang Xiaoshan swallowed his anger and said, "Gentlemen, the warehouse is the core area of the jade shop. Normally, no outsiders are allowed to enter except the boss. This is the rule of the jade gambling industry. If I break the rules for you, I will never be able to survive in the jade gambling industry again. Please forgive me. You can choose any rough materials here. I can give you a 10% discount."
"What did he say?" Ye Yinze looked puzzled at Sun Mohui beside him, "Why don't I understand?"
Sun Mohui laughed heartily, "Brother, he said he won't give you face and will definitely not let us into his treasure warehouse. Hahahaha..."
Liang Xiaoshan couldn't help but shiver, "You..."
"Boss Liang, that's not what you meant. It must be my little brother who is talking nonsense, right?" Ye Yinze sat on the chair with his legs crossed, smiling nonchalantly, his sharp eyes falling on Liang Xiaoshan, full of danger.
Liang Xiaoshan endured it and said, "I...the key is in my wife's hands. She's on a business trip."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Yinze stood up and smiled gently, "Boss Liang, just lead the way. We have a way to help you open the door. You can just change the lock later. Wanzhong, Suiyu, don't you see that Boss Liang seems a little uncomfortable? Why don't you help him up?"
"Yes, big brother."
Zhou Wanzhong and Wu Suiyu were about to step forward when a cold voice came from behind them.
“Wait!”
Ye Yinze turned around and saw the two people behind him. His pupils suddenly shrank. When did these two people appear behind him? He was still unaware!
The young man on the left was no more than twenty-one or twenty-two, with a pair of ink-black eyes that were calm and cold, and a faint smile of disapproval at the corner of his lips, as if he didn't take anyone seriously; the man on the right was about thirty years old, with handsome eyebrows like swords, deep eyes, and a gentle and harmless expression, but it couldn't conceal his powerful aura, like an unsheathed sword, which he would unsheath at any time and stab mercilessly at anyone who was unreasonable to him.
"Who are you!" Sun Mohui didn't take them seriously and shouted coldly.
Gu Juan said calmly, "Ride the wind."
Xi Lang also introduced himself, "Polang."
Ye Yinze saw that these two people were not simple, and waved his hand to signal Sun Mohui to leave. "Are you sure you want to get involved in this matter?"
Gu Juan smiled. "I heard that the people on Jade Street call you four the 'Nemesis of the Raw Material Merchants.' We really dislike it." He casually brushed the dust off his sleeves. A wisp of True Energy lightly circled in the air before vanishing. At the same time, both he and Xi Lang's true cultivation levels were revealed.
The expressions of Ye Yinze and the other three changed at the same time.
These two people are also cultivators, and their cultivation is not low!
Gu Juan asked Liang Xiaoshan, "Is there a larger place nearby? If we start a fight here, your store will be ruined."
Although Liang Xiaoshan didn't understand why Gu Juan and Xi Lang helped him, he was not stupid at all and immediately said, "Yes, yes, there is a Jade Square in the center of Jade Street."
Gu Juan and Xi Lang turned and walked out of the store.
"You shouldn't be afraid anymore."
The two of them continued to move forward regardless of whether the four people caught up with them or not.
"Brother?" Sun Mohui called out inquiringly.
Ye Yinze said, "Let's go meet them." He then sent a message to Sun Mohui, Zhou Wanzhong, and Wu Suiyu, "We hold many grand events in the cultivation world, but I've never seen or heard of these two people. We must investigate them and find out where they came from."
Sun Mohui and the other two nodded. Of the four of them, Ye Yinze was in the middle stage of Spiritual Silence, Sun Mohui and Zhou Wanzhong were in the early stages of Heartbeat, and Wu Suiyu was in the early stages of Spiritual Silence. Dealing with an early stage Heartbeat and a middle stage of Spiritual Silence would be easy.
After the four men caught up with Gu Juan and Xi Lang, they easily passed them and headed towards the Jade Square.
Some people who loved to join in the fun had no idea that the fight between the six of them was not an ordinary fight, and followed them fearlessly.
The other tourists saw the commotion, inquired, and followed closely with interest. Especially the jade shop employees who had been bullied by Ye Yinze and his four companions, they did not hesitate to catch up, intending to cheer for Gu Juan and Xi Lang.
After Liang Xiaoshan finished taking care of the things in the store, he hurried out.
Gambling on jade is a high-volume business, so there's a police station on Jade Street. The station chief is Wang Dayou, a man in his early forties with nearly twenty years of experience. Hearing something strange outside, he said to an officer, "Xiao Chen, go check it out."
"oh."
Xiao Chen ran out quickly and came back soon with an anxious look on his face.
"Director, something terrible has happened!"
Wang Dayou quickly stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
"Those four nemesis are here again. Two of them appeared out of nowhere and want to challenge them. They're already at the Jade Square! It's already crowded! I think they're going to start fighting soon. Let's go check it out!"
"Oh?" Wang Dayou smiled amusedly, sat back as if nothing had happened, picked up the newspaper he had just put down and continued reading.
"Chief, if we don't go now, they will start fighting!" Xiao Chen said anxiously.
"Just beat them. Take off your police uniform and go and see. As long as no one is killed, it's fine." Wang Dayou said slowly without raising his head.
Xiao Chen stared at him in confusion. After a moment, he suddenly understood and said with a bright smile, "Yes!" Between the four men and the rough stone merchants, they naturally sided with the rough stone merchants, as most of them were locals and fellow villagers. Even several people in their police station had relatives who owned jade shops nearby. They had long been fed up with those four arrogant men, and now it was a relief to have someone teach them a lesson.
On the Jade Square, Gu Juan, Xi Lang, Ye Yinze, Sun Mochou, Zhou Wanzhong and Wu Suiyu stood facing each other, two meters apart.
"Old—Polang," Gu Juan changed his words in time, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes, "This is the first time we fight against other "people", it's a rare opportunity."
Xi Lang ruffled his hair and said, "Well, be careful."
Ye Yinze ordered: "Mo Hui, you deal with Cheng Feng; Sui Yu, you deal with Po Lang."
"no problem."
Sun Mohui and Wu Suiyou took a few steps forward and looked at Gu Juan and Xi Lang lazily.
"Since you are so young, I will let you make the first move." Sun Mohui said to Gu Juan with a smile.
Gu Juan chuckled, tapped his feet, and in a blink of an eye he was standing in front of Sun Mohui, only half a meter away from him, and threw a straight punch towards his chest.
"What a fast speed!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Sun Mohui's heart trembled, and he immediately stretched out his arms and bent down, avoiding direct damage in time before Gu Juan was about to hit his chest.
This was Gu Juan's first time fighting someone other than Xi Lang, and he wanted to test his own combat prowess, so he didn't intend to hold back. After his first strike missed, he pursued him relentlessly, his left hand swiftly grabbing Sun Mohui's shoulder, his True Energy surging forth.
Sun Mohui groaned, and he didn't know what he did, but the joints on his shoulders made a dislocated sound and he broke free from Gu Juan's restraints. His right palm was full of energy, and it rushed straight to Gu Juan's heart like a black tiger ripping out his heart.
Gu Juan leaped up like a flying crane, landing behind Sun Mohui. He struck a backstroke, his right leg retracting before springing out like a spring, sending Sun Mohui flying three or four feet away. His movements flowed like flowing water, exuding an indescribable agility and grace. The spectators couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Sun Mohui squatted slightly, steadying his center of gravity. He slid a few meters with his feet close to the ground. He snorted in frustration, turned quickly, and like a swallow skimming the water, he rushed towards Gu Juan, pushed with both palms, and shouted, "You're looking for death!"
"Come on!" Gu Juan was fearless and raised his palms to face Sun Mohui's palms head-on.
When the four palms faced each other, the two streams of true energy collided violently, and both of their bodies shook slightly. Even though they had short hair, it was pressed back to the back of their heads by the strong airflow. The dust on the ground suddenly swelled up and the fallen leaves spun aimlessly in the air for several times, and then slowly fell to the ground after flying far away.
Is this a competition of internal strength?
The audience was stunned and murmured: "How amazing..."
After all, it was Gu Juan's first time fighting with someone, so Xi Lang was worried and stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching with a calm expression.
Wu Suiyu seemed unhurried, neither rushing him nor launching a surprise attack. He simply watched Gu Juan and Sun Mohui engage in combat. After a moment's observation, he turned and suddenly launched an attack, clenching his fists and charging towards Xi Lang.
"Shameless! A sneak attack!" Someone in the crowd shouted in disdain.
Seeing that Xi Lang was still looking at Gu Juan, seemingly defenseless, the audience nearby were all very anxious.
But Xi Lang didn't even turn his head. When his fist was still two inches away from him, he suddenly attacked. His left thumb and index finger clamped Wu Suiyu's wrist like a pair of pliers and twisted it casually.
Wu Suiyou screamed and knelt on one knee on the ground. His right arm was hanging limply, and it was broken!
Xi Lang actually defeated Wu Suiyu with just one move!
This is a flash sale!
The crowd was silent.
Liang Xiaoshan, who was squeezed in the crowd, was stunned.
Xiao Chen, who was watching from the side, was also dumbfounded.
Ye Yinze, who had been watching the battle calmly, suddenly changed his expression!
Zhou Wanzhong was surprised. He walked up to him and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I'll go meet that kid!"
Ye Yinze raised his arm to stop him, his face somewhat serious. "Even Sui Yu is no match for him. Can you beat him? I will do it myself."
When Xi Lang heard what they said, he finally gave them a look and smiled slightly, without any hostility in his eyes.
But Ye Yinze felt that he was scary. He took a step forward, and his footsteps were as silent as snow falling to the ground.
Zhou Wanzhong quickly walked up to Wu Suiyu, helped him up, and scanned his Dantian, startled, "Wanzhong, you've hurt your vitality, don't worry about your luck."
Wu Suiyu glanced at Xi Lang hatefully, took a deep breath to suppress the hatred in his heart, and Zhou Wanzhong helped him to the side.
"Brother Polang's skills are truly remarkable." Ye Yinze clasped his fists towards Xi Lang. "I haven't asked where you two learned from."
"That's what I wanted to ask you too," Xi Lang said.
Ye Yinze looked at the onlookers, pinched a soundproof spell, and smiled proudly, "We are the Qianshan Sect. Brother Polang should have heard of us. The Qianshan Sect ranks third among all the sects in the world of cultivation."
"Oh." Xi Lang nodded, not knowing what he meant. "Chengfeng and I have no sect or school. We just happened to embark on the path of cultivation."
"Oh?" Ye Yinze didn't believe him, but he also knew that even if he asked again, he wouldn't get anything out of him. "You hurt my brother for no reason. I have no choice but to seek justice for him."
Xi Lang nodded, "Whatever you want."
Ye Yinze's face darkened. Since this man was so conceited, he would teach him a lesson. He pounced on Xi Lang like a cheetah that had suddenly spotted its prey, his true energy surging towards him like a surging wave.
Xi Lang raised his arm, initially using 50% of his strength to fight back, but felt somewhat overwhelmed and could only barely dodge. When Ye Yinze's second attack reached him, he used 70% of his strength to resist Ye Yinze's cross palm, and instead bounced Ye Yinze's attack back, causing him to injure himself.
Ye Yinze spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Xi Lang with red eyes filled with disbelief. He and Xi Lang were at the same level of cultivation, yet he couldn't withstand more than three moves from Xi Lang! He couldn't help but wonder, was Xi Lang truly only in the middle stage of the Spiritual Silence Realm? Was he actually hiding his true strength? But his intuition told him that this possibility wasn't likely.
Before he could think about it carefully, he heard Sun Mohui groaning in pain. He turned his head and saw Sun Mohui rolling on the ground holding his stomach, his face pale.
Gu Juan smiled faintly at Xi Lang and walked over to him. (4060)
