Chapter 276: I Am the Iron Fist King (Three Updates)
Noon time.
It is not a distant point in time.
Just a short wait.
They are all Bounty Hunters, possessing great patience.
As long as there's money involved, what justice, what evil, all are nonsense.
Fang Yu touched his nose bridge, nudged Fu Sinin, and whispered, "That old guy mentioned that Iron Fist King could be from the Eighth Heavenly Layers, why don't you slip away?"
"..."
Fu Sinin rolled her eyes, "Why should I slip away? It's hard for two fists to contend with four hands. With so many Martial Artists present, we can win. Besides, do you think Eighth Layer can be claimed so easily?"
"Alright, big sister, I think you're not bad... Why won't you listen to advice?" Fang Yu said helplessly.
"Are you trying to hog it all for yourself?"
"Tch. Big sister, do I appear that petty in your eyes?"
"Can't be bothered with you."
The two conversed quietly.
On the square, Martial Artists were each waiting.
Many formed groups and chatted.
The four Great Elders stood still in a row, no one approaching them.
The descendants of the Lu Family stood firm like Mount Tai, immovable.
Time ticked away second by second.
...
"Huaxia pig..." The foreign mercenary who insulted Fang Yu before came over.
Fang Yu's gaze hardened and he looked over.
The foreign mercenary, his arms covered in tattoos, grinned and said, "Huaxia pig, are you a Ninth Layer Martial Artist?"
Clearly, it was meant to mock.
Seeing this foreign mercenary openly taunting him, Fang Yu snorted coldly.
There's a saying; do not tolerate more than three instances.
"Don't stoop to his level, focus on the overall situation," Fu Sinin advised once more.
Fang Yu turned his head, looked at Fu Sinin, and said, "I must tell you... I'm enraged."
"..."
"When I get enraged, only killing can calm me down. Big sister, don't stop me, I fear I might even turn on myself when I'm angry."
"..."
Fang Yu slowly turned around, facing the foreign mercenary.
"Foreigner, come here," Fang Yu beckoned with his finger.
The other Martial Artists couldn't help but look over.
They all remembered Fang Yu, who boasted about being a Ninth Layer Martial Artist.
The waiting time was naturally boring, why not enjoy the show?
Mimicking the actions of Huaxia people, the foreign mercenary pulled a face and sneered, "Ninth Layer Martial Artist, I'm so scared—"
With a light smile, Fang Yu stepped forward.
Huh?
Fu Sinin watched his steps, steady yet carrying a murderous intent, startled she wondered what he was up to.
Was he really going to kill a competitor in front of the Lu Family?
Some Martial Artists began to create a ruckus.
Clapping, whistling, nudging the foreigner.
"Hit him!"
"Beat this Huaxia pig to death!"
"Thrash him!"
Fang Yu's expression remained unchanged.
He looked up at the position of the sun.
Calmly said, "It's about time."
...
Just then—
At the main gate, a descendant of the Lu Family quickly ran over, bowed and said, "Elder Lu! Ye Xingkong and his people are here!"
"Hmm?"
The whole field buzzed with discussion.
The mercenary Martial Artists and Assassins showed excited expressions.
It's like finding what you can't find anywhere else without any effort. It's good that we didn't go looking for you, you actually delivered yourself to us.
"Ye Family's protector, together with about fifty Hidden Dragon Guards, all set out, heading straight to the front gate of Forbidden City!"
Fang Yu was stunned.
This father-in-law of his, really insisted on coming despite being told not to.
The arrival of the Ye Family made everyone completely forget the conflict between Fang Yu and the foreign mercenary.
Those sitting on the ground instantly jumped up, eager to try.
The man carrying a large knife placed the blade near his mouth and blew on it...
The autumn wind blew in, truly a good day for beheading.
...
Lu Tianxun suddenly opened his murky eyes, revealing a hint of cold smirk, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare to open the gate!"
Everyone stood up, their gazes directed towards the city gate.
"Iron Fist King should have arrived! Exactly as I expected! I appreciate the effort, everyone. Let's capture Ye Family and Iron Fist King in one fell swoop!" Lu Tianxun announced loudly.
The mercenaries were extremely excited.
"I heard that the Ye Family's daughter is beautiful! If I could marry her, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Not just beautiful, she's like a fairy. I've seen her on TV."
"Will Iron Fist King come with them?"
"He must! Otherwise, it's like Ye Family is sending themselves to their deaths!"
"Yeah, kill the Iron Fist King!"
Someone shouted aloud. The others joined in shouting.
"Kill the Iron Fist King!"
"Kill the Iron Fist King!"
...
Squeak————
The gate slowly opened.
Led by Ye Xingkong, with Zhong Long on the left, Zhong Hu on the right, and fifty Hidden Dragon Guards following. The large troop rushed in.
But, as soon as they entered the Forbidden City.
The scene before Ye Xingkong left him dumbfounded.
Mercenaries, assassins, and bounty hunters from various countries!
There were too many people.
"Elder Zhong, something seems off."
"Where's the son-in-law?"
"Too many people, didn't see him."
"Damn, we've been tricked!"
Squeak————
The gate closed promptly.
Seeing the panicked expressions on Ye Xingkong and others, Lu Tianxun smirked indifferently.
His robust voice rang out again—
"Whoever brings me the head of Iron Fist King will receive one billion and a Solid Foundation Nourishing Origin Pill!"
The crowd was suddenly stirred, their enthusiasm ignited by the generous reward.
These martial artists swarmed around Ye Xingkong and his group like a pack of wolves.
Ye Xingkong and the Hidden Dragon Guards, their faces drastically changed, kept retreating.
The city gate was already closed.
There was no way to retreat.
"Ye Xingkong, prepare to die... There's a path to heaven you didn't take, and you blunder into a gateless Hell!"
"Ye Xingkong, promise me your daughter, and I'll help you!"
"Ha-ha-ha, truly walking into the net! Where's Iron Fist King?"
"Yeah, hand over Iron Fist King!"
"Hand over Iron Fist King!"
"Hand over Iron Fist King!"
Shouts echoed across the entire square. The dignity of Taihe Palace was drowned out by the tidal wave of shouting.
...
Just when the Ye family had no way to retreat, a steady voice, with an incredibly resounding depth, overshadowed all the shouting—
"Is everyone here?"
"..."
This voice was too eerie!
Focused, loud, resounding through the sky.
Even the four Great Elders of the Lu Family couldn't help but look towards the source.
Was there such a master among the mercenaries?
The scene quieted down, everyone searching for the source of the voice.
No one moved.
No one spoke.
Everything seemed to have paused.
The source of that voice was Fang Yu.
His expression was indifferent, calm.
Following that, he stepped forward… stepping towards the four Great Elders…
"You're crazy!" Fu Sinin's face changed drastically!
"Come back, now is not the time to show off!"
"What are you doing?"
Fu Sinin was in total disarray, although she found this guy very annoying, regardless, he was her partner! In the world of warriors, she still held onto that loyalty and couldn't watch him act foolishly!
The foreigner who had a conflict with Fang Yu was also full of confusion.
"Huaxia pig, are you mad?"
"Huaxia pig, what exactly do you want to do?"
...
However, no matter how loud their mocking was.
Fang Yu turned a deaf ear.
He quietly came before the four Great Elders, slowly raised his head, his gaze indifferent, and spoke:
"I am Iron Fist King!"
