Chapter 51 Suppressing the Villains with Fists
Chapter 51 Suppressing the Villains with Fists
"Brother Su, be careful! The leader is called Hu Hu, and he's a master at breaking through barriers!" Village Chief Wang Yuezhi leaned close to Su Yu and whispered a warning.
Su Yu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the mess in the courtyard, the temperature in his eyes dropping to freezing point.
He didn't want to care about anyone else, but he couldn't ignore his elder brother Su Hong's family!
Su Hong lay prone on the ground, his hands clutching the dirt, his eyes gleaming with a desperate light: "Second brother... save third aunt!"
He knew that Su Yu had broken through a barrier, and even if he couldn't defeat the three opponents, he could at least protect his family. He couldn't just watch his loved ones die because of him!
Su Manjiang got up and leaned against a step. When he saw Su Yu appear, a flicker of emotion flashed in his cloudy old eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
It's over, it's over.
The IOU is genuine, and the compounding interest is also genuine.
He has staked everything on the hope that the Su family can produce a martial artist and completely escape from this quagmire of the bottom!
However, Su Can still failed to break through. With this failure, the hope of a second breakthrough was almost nonexistent, and the last hope of the Su family had been extinguished.
Even if Su Yu has learned some martial arts, what use is it? Without breaking through to the level of a martial artist, he cannot resolve the crisis of the Su family.
His heart was filled with a numbness born of despair.
Thinking back to the days when I was young and had to fight with stray dogs for food, thinking back to those old friends at the village entrance who were chatting idly these days but would disappear without a trace a few days later...
He poured the blood and flesh of generations of the Su family into this project, hoping Su Can would become a dragon and lead the whole family out of this quagmire. But now, the dream is over, leaving only a mess and a vengeful ghost at his doorstep.
"Kid, you're from the Su family?" Hu Hu narrowed his triangular eyes, sizing up Su Yu as he slapped the IOU in his hand. "Since you're from the Su family, then pay back that old geezer's money! If you can't come up with the money, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Su Yu ignored him and went straight to Su Hong's side, helping her older brother up and giving her aunt a reassuring look.
"Second brother..."
"Big brother, leave it to me."
The voice was calm, yet it exuded a reassuring composure.
"Kid, didn't you hear what I told you?" Hu Hu felt ignored and was furious. He gave a wink to the side.
A gang member grinned maliciously as he stepped forward, raising his fist to smash it towards Su Yu's face: "Kid, you're asking for it!"
The fist whistled through the air, its force immense and heavy.
But in Su Yu's eyes, the movement was as slow as a snail.
He stood still and slapped her across the face.
"Snapped!"
A scream rang out, and the group's eyes bulged out as they were sent flying, collapsing to the ground like dead dogs, unable to get up.
Su Yu held back most of his strength in that slap; he didn't use his full power at all. Now that Cao Bin wasn't around, he decided to hide his strength and see what happens.
"A half-step martial artist?"
Hu Hu's pupils contracted. A master's skill is evident from the first move. This slap was of the strength to knock out several levels of the gate, but it was definitely from a trained fighter!
Seeing this, another gang member with a dagger flashed with a fierce light in his eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when Su Yu stopped, he crouched down and launched a sneak attack from the side, his dagger aimed straight at Su Yu's waist.
Su Yu had already observed his movements, slightly bent his knees, and exerted force with his feet.
"Whoosh!"
His figure shifted half a step to the side like a ghost, dodging the blade while delivering a side kick.
"what!"
The man felt as if he had been hit in the lower back with a hammer. He screamed and flew a good ten feet away. He lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. He had obviously injured his kidneys.
"court death!!!"
Hu Hu roared, his blood surging, unleashing a burst of power from a breakthrough. He charged forward, delivering a powerful swing punch towards Su Yu's temple, the force of the punch fierce and indeed quite formidable.
Too slow, too weak, full of flaws!
Instead of retreating, Su Yu advanced, his spine twitching slightly. He dodged the opponent's attack like a nimble ape and moved to the side, delivering a precise "White Ape Asks for Directions" strike to Hu Hu's chin.
"Snap!"
The sound of teeth breaking makes your teeth ache.
Hu Hu was knocked off the ground by the punch, fell backward, and crashed heavily into the dust, his face instantly swelling up like a pig's head.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
From start to finish, it only took a dozen or so breaths.
The three members of the Water Snake Gang, who had been so fierce just moments before, were now lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Hu Hu, in particular, was a formidable opponent who could easily defeat two or three ordinary people with a single strike. Yet, he couldn't even withstand a single move from Su Yu!
"Second...Second Brother, you defeated them all? What...what realm are you at?" Su Hong's eyes widened, as if he were seeing this cousin for the first time.
"Three failed attempts?"
Hu Hu covered his leaky mouth and struggled to get up, his eyes filled with horror.
He easily knocked him down with a single move. The power of his punches was so great that he must be at the level of a third-stage cultivator! As for a martial artist, he didn't even consider that, because if it were a martial artist, one blow would be enough to kill him!
Isn't Su Can the only one in the Su family who practices martial arts? Where did this jinx come from? And judging by his skills, this is definitely not just an ordinary three-stage breakthrough!
Hu Hu felt a chill run down his spine, and though he tried to sound fierce, he roared, "So what if you've tried to stop me three times? You've messed with the Water Snake Gang! You're courting death!"
Su Yu dusted off his sleeves, his tone indifferent: "The Su family will repay the money we borrowed from you in three days! Now, get out!"
"You say three days, and it's three days? Did I fucking agree to that?" Hu Hu's face turned fierce.
Su Yu remained silent and walked step by step toward Hu Hu.
"Three days it is! I agree!"
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; just you wait!
Hu Hu, no longer willing to utter any more threats, kicked his men on the ground twice, and the three of them helped each other up as they fled in a sorry state.
But the sinister look in his eyes as he left clearly said: You're all doomed in three days!
Su Yu watched as the three members of the Water Snake Gang fled in a sorry state, but did not continue to attack. To deal with the three of them in person would be a direct provocation to the Water Snake Gang, and not the right way to solve the problem.
……
The crowd dispersed.
The villagers looked at Su Yu with awe, but even more so with regret.
"Su Yu is indeed powerful, but that's the Water Snake Gang... I heard that Cao Bin is a martial artist."
"Alas, the Su family will probably still not be able to get over this hurdle in three days."
Inside the courtyard, Su Yu helped Su Hong up and then called for the maid to come in.
"Girl, go to town and fetch a doctor." As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to the girl.
"You're not allowed to go!"
A scream suddenly rang out.
Aunt Chen, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly found the strength to pounce over, snatch the silver from the maid's hand, and clutch it tightly to her chest.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in blood, but her eyes shone with a frightening light:
"Don't call a doctor! Give this money to Can'er! He's about to break through to the Martial Realm; this money should be saved to buy him medicine!"
Su Yu glanced at his third aunt, who was already somewhat deranged, and finally sighed without saying anything.
Upon arriving at the door, he gave the maid one tael of silver and told her to fetch a doctor.
In the courtyard, Su Manjiang looked at Su Yu from afar, his lips moved, but in the end he just sighed and turned his head away.
……
into the night.
After settling his elder brother in, Su Yu went to the village chief's house to inquire about the Water Snake Gang. At the chief's enthusiastic invitation, he had a meal and then returned home drunk.
Along the way, the villagers greeted him warmly, but Su Yu responded vaguely and walked with unsteady steps.
Until the moment I pushed open my own door and closed the latch.
The drunkenness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold clarity.
As long as Cao Bin lives, the Su family will never have peace!
It was a dark and windy night, the perfect time to commit murder.
