117: Fight

After Zhang Yun was subdued, he instantly fell into an awkward predicament.

Gao Yuan had numbers on his side; Zhang Yun's earlier move hadn't been a good opportunity.

"You're quite the tough guy, aren't you?" Gao Yuan's face was dark as he stood before Zhang Yun.

Seeing Gao Yuan approach, the Guards cleared a path.

And right at that moment...

Zhang Yun's body was trembling; he didn't know what was waiting for him.

"What? You're still not convinced?" Gao Yuan's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Zhang Yun.

In Yizhou City, the Gao Family's influence was immense.

For Gao Yuan, killing someone was as simple as crushing an ant.

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced," Zhang Yun hurriedly lowered his head.

At this moment, Zhang Yun didn't even have the courage to lift his head and look at Gao Yuan.

"You wanted to kill me just now? Tell me, what kind of deep-seated hatred is there between us? Was it really necessary?" Gao Yuan grinned as he questioned Zhang Yun.

Facing these words...

Zhang Yun didn't know how to answer.

"Speak up!" Gao Yuan had long since lost his patience; he raised his hand and swung it hard.

*Slap.*

Following a crisp sound...

Gao Yuan's palm landed on Zhang Yun's face.

Zhang Yun felt a burning pain on his face, but he didn't dare to resist.

"Yes, Young Master Gao, I didn't want to kill you. I just came for a spar." Zhang Yun didn't even believe his own words.

Zhang Yun took a sharp breath, trying his best to calm himself down.

And right at that moment...

Gao Yuan's face was dark as he put on a serious expression.

"A spar? Interesting. Fine, let him go!" Gao Yuan waved his sleeve, exuding arrogance.

Everything seemed to be under Gao Yuan's control.

The Guards were sensible enough to release Zhang Yun.

And right at that moment...

Gao Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of Zhang Yun.

"Didn't you want to spar? Alright then, come on! I'll beat you to death!" A cold glint flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes.

Immediately after, Gao Yuan stepped closer, arriving right in front of Zhang Yun.

"No, this won't do! Young Master Gao, I can't fight you." Zhang Yun retreated several steps, appearing extremely nervous.

He said that, but Zhang Yun simply didn't dare to make a move.

The other party was, after all, the Young Master of the Gao Family; if he were actually injured, Zhang Yun's life would be forfeit!

"But didn't you just say you wanted to spar with me? Why are you afraid now?" The corner of Gao Yuan's mouth curled into a sneer.

Gao Yuan clenched his fists tightly and swung forward with sudden force.

Bang.

Another dull thud followed.

Gao Yuan's fist slammed hard into Zhang Yun's face.

"I'll teach you to act tough! You're asking for it!" Gao Yuan said coldly.

Unable to withstand the punch, Zhang Yun retreated several steps and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Then, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Yun's eyes as the fury in his heart began to be stirred.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

Zhang Yun was starting to buckle, but Gao Yuan still had no intention of stopping.

"You brat, still thinking about fighting back? You're quite arrogant!" Gao Yuan roared.

Zhang Yun was just a Medicinal Herb Merchant, without the strength to even truss a chicken.

Whereas Gao Yuan was at least a trained fighter; beating Zhang Yun was more than easy for him.

After a long while...

Zhang Yun fell heavily to the ground, and his vision gradually began to dim.

He probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

"Master, should we step in and help that Zhang Yun?" Nan Qingyue asked curiously.

"How do you want to help?" Li Changfeng turned his head.

"Just rescue him from Gao Yuan's hands. Otherwise, Zhang Yun will be beaten to death." Nan Qingyue couldn't bear to see it.

Zhang Yun had always been bullied by Gao Yuan, and this time, he was about to be killed.

However, among the surrounding onlookers, not a single person was willing to step forward and help.

This scene...

...was somewhat disheartening.

In Yizhou City, no one wanted to offend the Gao Family, let alone provoke the Little Tyrant Gao Yuan.

Otherwise, with Gao Yuan's particular fetish, he would have been beaten to death in Yizhou City long ago.

That was messing with other people's wives!

"But we aren't familiar with him; there's no need to court trouble. Don't forget our mission," Li Changfeng said faintly.

These words from Li Changfeng left Nan Qingyue stunned.

In fact, Nan Qingyue hadn't expected Li Changfeng to say something like this.

She had thought Li Changfeng would intervene.

But after hearing this, Nan Qingyue realized she had been overthinking.

"Young Master, let it go. If you keep hitting him, that guy is going to die." A guard frowned, turning to look at Gao Yuan as he spoke.

But upon hearing this...

Gao Yuan's face darkened, and he put on a stern expression.

"What did you say?" Gao Yuan was displeased.

This time, it wasn't just that the guard wasn't following orders; he actually wanted to defy them.

Gao Yuan would never allow such a thing to happen!

"Young Master, I was only making a suggestion—just a small suggestion," the guard said cautiously.

"A suggestion? Do I need your suggestion? Who do you think you are?" A cold glint flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes.

Gao Yuan clenched his fists, feeling a thousand impulses to smash them into the guard's face.

However, Gao Yuan thought about it more carefully.

After all, he still needed to rely on these Guards, so he decided to let it go.

"I'm telling you, what are you afraid of? If you kill him, the Gao Family will back you up." Gao Yuan held his head high, a fierce look on his face. "Beat him to death for me! When he's dead, you can go collect your reward money."

The Guards all lowered their heads, even more unsure of what to do.

But right at that moment...

Zhang Yun suddenly stood up, his face covered in blood, a cold glint flashing in his bright eyes.

At this moment...

Zhang Yun stared fixedly at Gao Yuan. "Gao Yuan, don't push people too far!"

Gao Yuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

After a long while, Gao Yuan turned back, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Their eyes met.

"Pushing people too far? That assumes you're even a person! Right now, you're living as something less than a dog, and you want to talk to me about being a person?" Gao Yuan sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

At this moment...

Gao Yuan looked quite hideous.

Zhang Yun clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill Gao Yuan.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yun lacked the strength; he simply couldn't do it.

"Gao Yuan! You've gone too far!" Zhang Yun roared, clenching his fists.

Zhang Yun had been pushed into a difficult situation; he took a sharp breath, trying to calm himself down.

But facing Gao Yuan, Zhang Yun couldn't stay calm!

The grudge of having his wife stolen, the grudge of being humiliated...

Zhang Yun wished he could kill Gao Yuan immediately to avenge himself!

At this moment...

Zhang Yun didn't want to live crawling on the ground; he wanted to stand up!

"Too far? Fine, then I'll let you know what 'too far' really means!" Gao Yuan grinned, the corner of his mouth curling into a sneer.
