174: Chapter 174 Wind, Forest, Mountain, and Fire
Inside Liu Zongren's manor, a subordinate came to report.
"Eldest Young Master, it's done. I've already made that arrogant brat pay the price."
Liu Zongren gripped an antique porcelain cup in his hand, still fuming. "The price? Even if he dies, that price is far from enough!"
"That damn fellow... not only did he deceive my sister's feelings, but he actually dared to set his sights on Wanqing. He's truly tired of living!"
The subordinate replied, "Rest assured, Young Master. I set his speed to 80 miles per hour. As long as he crashes, he'll be crippled if not dead!"
"Did you leave any evidence?"
"Don't worry, Young Master, we are professionals. I estimate that the kid is probably being resuscitated in some ICU right now."
Liu Zongren nodded. "Fine, you may leave now."
But before the man could leave, the door to the Eldest Young Master's study was urgently knocked upon.
"Come in! What is it? What's going on in the middle of the night?"
A thug dressed in a suit entered with a look of terror. "El... Eldest Young Master, outside, someone is fighting their way in!"
Liu Zongren looked incredulous. Someone dares to break into my territory?
Could it be?
Sure enough, waves of wailing sounds drifted in from outside.
A young man's figure slowly walked to the doorway of Liu Zongren's study.
The young man was tall and handsome, yet wore a thuggish expression.
Liu Zongren's subordinate stammered, "You... how did you..."
Liu Zongren glared fiercely at his subordinate. You idiot! You said he was being resuscitated?
He quickly interrupted, "Su Nange, are you seeking death? Do you not know who I am?"
Su Nange stood still. "Hehe, of course I know. You are my beloved brother-in-law!"
Even with Liu Zongren's high level of composure, he felt this person was truly exasperating!
"Su Nange, you're nothing but a parentless con artist! My sister is simple-minded and fell for your tricks!"
"You didn't really think you could enter the gates of my Liu family, did you?"
Su Nange suppressed the anger in his heart. At a time like this, whoever loses their cool first loses the upper hand!
He restrained himself and shrugged. "Young Master Liu, haven't I already entered?"
Liu Zongren sneered. "You've got a silver tongue. However, you've injured so many of my people; that's enough to sentence you to eight or ten years!"
"You really are just a brainless fellow with more brawn than sense."
Liu Zongren then instructed his subordinate, "Go, have everyone's injuries examined. Then call the lawyers."
"It seems our guest here wants to enjoy some prison food. Haha!"
Su Nange thought to himself that this Eldest Young Master was indeed not simple.
Even though Su Nange had fought his way into his inner sanctum, Liu Zongren could remain so calm. Either he was faking it, or he still had an extremely reliable trump card.
Su Nange replied, "Brother-in-law, then go ahead and call the police!"
"Tampering with my car with the intent to kill me... I wonder how many years one gets for attempted murder?"
Liu Zongren burst into laughter. "Su Nange, you're so humorous. You're saying I tampered with your car?"
"Do you have any evidence? Hehe."
Su Nange said, "Don't laugh. Didn't I come here specifically to find evidence?"
After saying this, Su Nange's figure seemed to vanish from the spot.
By the time Liu Zongren could see clearly, that subordinate of his had been grabbed by the throat by Su Nange and dragged over.
The aura erupting from Su Nange was like a hunting tiger, absolutely terrifying!
Liu Zongren's subordinate was scared witless. Before he even knew what was happening, he was pinned firmly to the ground by Su Nange.
Su Nange didn't waste words. A dagger appeared in his hand at some point, and he plunged it into the man's thigh.
A painful howl echoed within Liu Zongren's study!
Su Nange gripped the dagger, saying viciously, "Speak. Who was it? Who tampered with my car!"
"If you don't talk, I'll carve this leg of yours right off!"
"Don't doubt my words!"
Su Nange applied a bit of pressure with his wrist, and the dagger began to pull a deeper opening in the thigh.
Blood, like paint, instantly stained the floor.
The man had never felt such agonizing pain; he squealed like a slaughtered pig!
Liu Zongren finally shouted, "Su Nange, are you looking to die? Do you know what you are doing right now?"
"I think today, you truly don't want to walk out of here alive?"
Su Nange looked up. "Sigh, I really didn't expect that the number one young master of Qiantang would be someone who only knows how to talk big."
"It seems the men of the Liu family are truly inferior to the women!"
The veins on Liu Zongren's forehead throbbed uncontrollably.
Su Nange's words finally caused the Eldest Young Master's fury to boil over!
Liu Zongren's lips trembled. "Fine, this is your own choice. You want to die! I'll grant your wish!"
Liu Zongren raised his wrist and pressed a button on a diamond-encrusted watch.
The study doors slammed shut automatically!
Su Nange's eyes widened!
Four overbearing auras began to slowly manifest within the study.
Su Nange could feel it—they were very strong!
Like four bolts of lightning, dark shadows lunged from the gloom toward Su Nange, slashing at him.
Their power was actually not inferior to that of Blade!
They were not a bit weaker than the assassins from that night!
Su Nange focused intently. Even though he already stood at the peak of humanity, he didn't dare to tank the combined strangulation of these four!
He immediately and decisively abandoned the man beneath him, dodging with two consecutive backflips.
Su Nange was surprised; he hadn't been able to sense the presence of the opponents at all initially. Clearly, their concealment methods were not inferior to Big Sister Black Kite's.
Is this the Liu family's Eldest Young Master's trump card?
Su Nange finally saw the four people opposite him clearly.
Like Black Kite, they wore masks.
However, their attire was more primitive. Their long robes were embroidered with four small characters: Wind, Forest, Mountain, and Fire!
They were burly and tall, holding short blades in their hands.
Those short blades, while not as thin and sharp as Black Kite's long blade, felt even more unsettling.
Black Kite's blade was fast. So fast it didn't even catch blood.
But the blades in the hands of Wind, Forest, Mountain, and Fire seemed more suited for hacking a person into eight pieces to taste the freshest red liquid.
When their first strike failed, the four men gave Su Nange no chance to react. With a synchronized stomp, they launched themselves again!
Liu Zongren's expression began to turn leisurely.
He understood that once his personal guards moved, the opponent would have only one path: death.
Su Nange had only a shorter dagger in his hand and was completely unable to parry the opponent's offensive!
Wind slashed down, and Su Nange blocked it with a reverse grip on his knife.
But almost at the same moment, Forest would strike from a diagonal angle.
Su Nange had to deal with Forest's attack at maximum speed.
Then it was Wind again, then Fire!
In a repeating cycle, Su Nange fell into a bitter struggle! He was actually being suppressed by the four of them.
Su Nange felt a fire burning in his heart. Damn it, if you came at me one by one, I would have beaten you to the ground long ago.
To think they have no martial honor, attacking four-on-one?
Su Nange hesitated no longer and immediately activated Berserk state!
His Berserk skill had already reached the advanced level!
Melee capability received a maximum boost, firearm power increased by 30%, and Constitution increased by 30%! Duration: 180 seconds.
His peak human strength, speed, and agility increased by another 30%!
Su Nange thought to himself, 3 minutes? Am I basically Ultraman now?
Wind, Forest, Mountain, and Fire discovered that the young man before them seemed to have suddenly evolved.
Originally, they were very surprised that this fellow was so powerful that even with the four of them joining forces, they could only barely reach a stalemate.
But now, he was still hiding his strength? Is this man a monster?
Using only his dagger, Su Nange head-on blocked a full-power slash from Wind.
Although a 30% increase in Constitution didn't look high numerically, its synergy with his combat skills resulted in almost exponential growth.
This 30% was definitely not just a 30% increase in combat power!
Su Nange's movements were inconceivable, almost unlike techniques a human could use.
He was more like a character from a Wuxia novel.
In just a few moments, Su Nange single-handedly reversed the tide of battle and began to suppress Wind, Forest, Mountain, and Fire!
To the side, Liu Zongren's expression turned somewhat ugly.
Although his own martial arts skills weren't that great, he could still see the basic flow of the fight.
How did his sister find such a powerful freak?
Could he be like those characters in novels—the War God son-in-law, the return of the Dragon King?
That's too ridiculous, isn't it?
