Chapter 198: The Wild Bunch
Chapter 198: The Wild Bunch
Shen Wen brought Shen Maofeng and his servant to talk about reason at the funeral of the Wu and Liu families. Before they had said a few words, Huang Yulian's other brothers happened to arrive at the scene.
The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense again.
Huang Zudai took a closer look at Shen Wen, Guan Yonghuan and the other two and couldn't help but ask, "You? So those three people on the side of the road when I asked for directions at Hongwan Mountain were you."
Huang Zuxing also said: "If I had known that you were the damned Shen Wen, I would have killed you right then."
Shen Wen laughed and said, "You are quite good at bragging. There is no need for that time. Come and kill me right now."
Huang Zuxing immediately drew his sword and attacked.
The other brothers also drew their weapons and faced the outsiders, ready to hunt like a pack of wolves.
Guan Yonghuan was not willing to let them off. He raised his palms and with one palm gust of wind, the seven brothers were knocked two meters away, knocking them all down.
The two heads of the Wu and Liu families were stunned by Guan Yonghuan's inhuman operation. They considered themselves to be half-worldly people and had never seen such a fight.
Huang Zuxing and his brothers Huang Zudai got up from the ground. They finally understood what a hermit master was and became extremely wary of Guan Yonghuan.
After watching the good show, Shen Wen stroked his chin and praised Guan Yonghuan: "I never thought that the legendary superb skills turned out to be true. In this world, I am afraid that only Master Guan can claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first!"
Guan Yonghuan laughed and said, "You are exaggerating, kid. As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than the strong. There are many talented people in the world. Don't you dare praise me like this in the future."
Shen Wen patted Guan Yonghuan on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Guan, you must live to be a hundred years old. I am counting on you to protect my life."
Guan Yonghuan said: "I don't expect to live to be a hundred years old, but I know that those bastards who messed with you today will not live to be a hundred years old."
Shen Wen looked at the seven people who were looking at each other in fear, then turned around and said to the two heads of the Wu and Liu families, "I have been standing at your door for so long, let's go into your house and talk."
Guan Yonghuan walked to the front door of the Wu family, looked up and down at the wooden door, and said to Jinsheng, "Where is the machete I asked you to bring?"
Jinsheng quickly took off the package on his back, and the machete was hidden inside.
Guan Yonghuan took the machete and said to Shen Wen, "What are you discussing with them? Look at you, Uncle Guan. My machete is the best at clearing the way. If anyone doesn't want you to enter his house, I will chop it flat and let you go in and out as you please."
As he spoke, he swung the knife in his hand heavily. After a few consecutive chops, the fierce and hard blade chopped the heavy wooden door into firewood.
Shen Wen smiled and said to the two masters Wu and Liu: "Please come in!"
His actions were so relaxed and natural that outsiders would think that Wu’s house was Shen Wen’s house.
Just as they were about to step into the house, another group of people arrived.
The two middle-aged men in the lead opened their mouths and said, "Who is here to cause trouble? You don't even let the dead go."
Huang Zuxing took a look and happily said to the two heads of the Wu and Liu families, "It's the master of elder brother Tianci and elder brother Jizong, as well as the master teachers of my grandfather's family, Hero Guan and Hero Fan."
Wu Tianci and Liu Jizong's ancestors were military generals, and they learned kung fu from their grandfathers since they were young. A wealthy family like theirs would pay attention to hiring a martial arts master and a literary master to teach separately, so they hired Li Daxia and Tao Daxia. They were also followed by the masters of the three Huang brothers, as well as the masters of Wang Cunlai and Wang Zuncheng.
The three Huang brothers grew up in the Hu family and learned kung fu from their three uncles. Their grandfather Hu Chong once said that any children born to their daughter Hu Xiangxiang could learn the Hu family's skills if they wanted to, but they could not be considered the successors of the Hu family's unique skills. Therefore, the nephews of each family selected prestigious knights in the world to succeed them.
The master of the three Huang brothers was the three righteous men of Liangcheng Pass. The master of the two brothers Wang Cunlai and Wang Cunzi was a well-known hermit of the Great Jin Kingdom, known as the Five Dragons and the Emperor.
Wulong is a famous territory of the Great Jin Kingdom. There is a Wulong Jiedi Pass there. As the name suggests, it is a place for heroes to pass through. It is said that the place is very evil. Anyone who sets foot there will have a surge of evil spirit. All those who pass through the pass can only pass with this evil spirit. No one has ever stayed there for more than a month, except Chu Yanqiu from Xiliang City.
Guan Yonghuan squinted his eyes and looked at the group of so-called heroes. He didn't recognize any of them. From their names, he only remembered the three words "Liu Chengguan".
Guan Yonghuan then asked the three heroes of the Mucheng Pass, "Are you from Mucheng Pass?"
He didn't remember the three heroes, but they recognized him at a glance.
Back then, Guan Yonghuan's second and third disciples were two famous generals of the Da Ju Kingdom and the Da Jin Kingdom. When the two countries were at war, it happened that the two disciples led their troops to fight against each other.
Guan Yonghuan had no choice but to go to the Liangcheng Pass to persuade his two apprentices to reconcile. At the banquet, his second apprentice invited the three heroes of Liangcheng Pass to accompany him. The three heroes were fortunate to meet the famous Master Guan. After so many years, they still felt that life was enough when they thought about it.
Luo Fei, one of the three heroes of Liangcheng Pass, quickly came out and answered, "It's Uncle Guan! Are we brothers seeing you correctly? We can actually see you here. At the Liangcheng Pass joint banquet, I accompanied your second disciple, General Luo Hong, and had the honor of meeting you once. Uncle Guan should still remember you, right?"
Guan Yonghuan said, "Oh, we actually met at that banquet! What a honor."
The three Huang brothers saw their master being friendly and ambiguous in front of the old man, and hurriedly reminded him: "Three masters, he and Shen Wen are in the same group. My sister was angered to death by Shen Wen. And the two brothers Wu and Liu, the three masters, don't forget what you are here for."
The three heroes of Mucheng Pass were reminded so quickly that they all looked at Shen Wen behind Guan Yonghuan and had the answer in their hearts.
At this time, the brothers Wang Cunlai and Wang Cun, who were standing beside them, also finished their conversation with their master.
Naturally, the two heroes of the Five Dragons and the Jie Emperor Guan had never heard of Guan Yonghuan's name. They had spent the first half of their lives in the Bagua formation of the Jie Emperor Guan and had only been in the martial arts world for eight or nine years. They both liked quietness and did not listen to any other nonsense except eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and teaching their disciples. Naturally, they did not take Guan Yonghuan, an old man who seemed not as powerful as them, seriously.
These two heroes had just been deliberately instigated by their apprentice, so they looked at Uncle Guan and Shen Wen behind him with even more displeasure.
Qiu Da, the elder of the two heroes, gently pushed Luo Fei away, looked at Guan Yonghuan and said, "Let's have a fight."
Straightforward, yet simply cute.
Shen Wen, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but chuckle.
His smile was looked at with a bit of contempt by the two heroes. The other Qiu Er raised his eyebrows and challenged Shen Wen, "My brother fights him, so I will fight you! You have to fight even if you don't want to!"
Jin Sheng immediately stood in front of Shen Wen and said, "I want to fight you. You have to beat me first."
Qiu Er looked at Jin Sheng seriously and said, "You can't. I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
Uncle Guan said, "You are so arrogant. You dare to touch my owner. Have you asked me?"
Qiu Da and Qiu Er didn't understand what the phrase "the owner of his manor" meant, but the three heroes of Liangchengguan understood it. They immediately asked in shock, "Master Guan said that he is the owner of your Zhong's manor?"
Guan Yonghuan said: "That's right!"
Luo Qian, one of the three heroes, said, "I've heard that Mr. Zhong from the Zhong Family Manor is a genius, but I didn't expect to see him here."
Qiu Da said unhappily, "Are you stupid? That man is called Shen Wen. Isn't the owner of the manor you are talking about surnamed Zhong?"
Wang Cunlai immediately interrupted and said, "Master is right. I am sure his surname is not Zhong, but Shen. He is the illegitimate grandson of Lord Shen."
At this time, Shen Maofeng, who had been pretending to be a nobody, shouted to his brother Wang Cunlai, "Brother Cunlai, come and save me! Shen Wen is crazy and wants to kill me."
When Jin Sheng heard his nonsense, he rushed forward and slapped Shen Maofeng in the face, causing him to spit out blood.
The two maids behind Shen Maofeng took advantage of no one's attention and attacked Shen Wen.
Shen Wen dodged left and right and was able to cope with it.
The three of them started fighting, and the scene became chaotic. Qiu Da and Qiu Er took the opportunity to kill Shen Wen, but were stopped by Guan Yonghuan, and the three of them also started fighting.
The three of them fought, and Qiu Da and Qiu Er finally realized how powerful Master Guan was. Guan Yonghuan was indeed the son of the world's largest demon sect. Every move he made was profound and powerful, like a tsunami in the sea or a blue dragon smashing the abyss, and it was impossible to fathom the bottom.
Qiu Er was a martial arts fanatic. After exchanging five or six moves with him, his eyes lit up with excitement. He sighed in his heart that he finally had a skilled opponent who could unleash his potential.
However, he was only excited for a short while. After more than twenty moves, he was beaten by Guan Yonghuan and vomited blood.
Qiu Da didn't last more than three moves before he was hit on the back by Guan Yonghuan and fell to the ground.
The two maids, Shiqin and Shihua, were both knocked down by Jinsheng.
Shen Wen twisted Shen Maofeng's ear, causing Shen Maofeng to scream in pain like a pig being slaughtered. Shen Wen yelled into his ear: "Who did you tell that I want to kill you? You liar, are you planning to sow discord among all the heroes in the martial arts world and officialdom, making them pay with their lives because of your mouth?" At this point, he increased the strength in his hand, wishing he could twist his ear off.
Shen Maofeng couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy: "I dare not! I don't dare! It's all my fault. I'm talking nonsense... Please forgive me."
Shen Wen really threw him out, threw him to the ground and said, "Let you go? What about the people you killed? And the people who are about to be killed by you. Don't forget that your father, your uncle, and your grandfather, the whole family are in the hands of the Three Houses and Zhong's Manor. If you dare to anger them, they will hang the bodies of your family on the tower to dry, you idiot! You think my life is cheap, but my maid Zhinuan's life is very precious. She is the personal maid of the head of the Three Houses. How could you be so stupid when you lied to provoke your own brother-in-law?"
Then Shen Wen looked up at everyone and said, "Did you hear clearly? Wanting my life is not a big deal, but now the Shen, Huang, Hu, Wu, and Liu families... have run into the wrath of the Three Houses. Which of you dares to step forward? Which of your families can grow a new head after you cut it off?"
