Chapter 55

Shatenhai, his face flushed red, stumbled along behind Su Yi, his eyes fixed on the young man's back. His gaze was filled with hatred, but more so, with fear.

It was truly unimaginable that a young man not yet in his twenties, about the same age as his own son, who spent his days indulging in debauchery, could so easily beat dozens of people from the Divine Fist Sect barehanded.

Shatenhai considered himself not overly skilled in martial arts, but even a sinking ship has its nails. As the younger brother of Shatongtian, he was certainly not weak. However, he never expected that his long-practiced martial arts would be seen as mere acrobatics by his opponent. In just a few moves, he was forced to kneel without understanding why.

The days that followed were a nightmare. Shatenhai finally understood what Su Yi meant by bringing a heavy gift. He himself was that gift. This guy actually had the nerve to kidnap him and barge into the Yellow River Gang. Was he not afraid of the Dragon King's twenty-year undefeated reputation?

Shatenhai began to silently blame his unambitious son. Why did he have to provoke such a little demon? Heaven help him, he was dragged on foot all the way to the Yellow River Gang, his shoes worn through, his toes exposed, and his body in a sorry state. When had he ever endured such hardship?

Just as he was wallowing in self-pity, Su Yi spoke.

"Hey, I'm bringing you to your brother. Isn't this a heavy enough gift?"

Just a moment ago, he was lamenting his fate, but hearing his enemy's voice, his self-pity turned to hatred. Shatenhai gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can still be so arrogant when you see my brother!"

"You really don't know when to be grateful!" Su Yi continued to ride slowly, his mouth never stopping. "I came to wish your brother a happy birthday and brought a grand gift. Think about it... for your brother's birthday, you and your son only sent a horse. I'm bringing his own brother, born of the same mother..."

Su Yi turned back to look at Shatenhai with a smile. "Do you think your so-called brother is less valuable than a horse?"

Shatenhai huffed in hatred but had no response. He couldn't agree, but he couldn't say he was less valuable than a horse either.

Su Yi also laughed and said nothing more, just tugged the chain and continued on his way.

They were now approaching the Yellow River Gang's base. There were many Yellow River Gang disciples patrolling the area, but Shatenhai, disheveled and bound to the horse, was hardly recognizable as the brother of their mighty leader.

Shatenhai, in his current state, wished no one would recognize him. He didn't want to reveal his identity and hoped to walk all the way to Shatongtian, only to be seen by his brother in such a disgraceful state.

Thus, despite being deep in enemy territory, Su Yi arrived at the Yellow River Gang's gate without incident.

"Hey, are you sure today is your brother's birthday?"

Su Yi turned to confirm.

Shatenhai huffed in hatred and turned away, saying nothing.

"Never mind, even if it's a day or two off, it doesn't matter. As long as the sentiment is there, it doesn't matter if it's his birthday or not."

Su Yi was about to enter when he was stopped by the gatekeepers.

"No riding horses inside the Yellow River Gang. If you're here to wish the leader a happy birthday, leave your gift and go to the side hall for a meal... You... You are... Second Master?!!!"

The arrogant gatekeeper, who had not finished his sentence, was suddenly shocked when he saw who was bound behind the horse. This was the leader's brother! How could he be in such a state?

Su Yi pointed at Shatenhai with his whip. "This person is a gift for Elder Sha. Please inform him!"

"Tell him..." Su Yi paused, "that Invincible comes to challenge him, seeking a defeat! I hope he doesn't disappoint me!"

"Invincible... Invincible?!!!"

What a domineering name! The surrounding gatekeepers were all shocked. Was this guy here to cause trouble?

Shatenhai was also stunned. He hadn't heard Su Yi introduce himself before, but now, hearing him call himself Invincible, he knew this was no ordinary man. Moreover, knowing his brother's reputation, he still dared to cause trouble in such a public place today. Perhaps...

Shatenhai suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

"Go and inform him!!!"

One of the gatekeepers shouted at another, who then rushed inside.

Su Yi didn't stop him, just remained on his horse, calm and composed, unlike the others who were on high alert.

Elder Invincible, since I have inherited your legacy, I have the duty to make your name known throughout the world. This is the promise I made to you. Today, let Shatongtian be the first sacrifice to your reputation!

Su Yi made up his mind.

At this moment, Shatongtian had no idea what was happening outside. He was laughing heartily in the main hall. There were only a few people in the hall, and none of the many who came to wish him a happy birthday were qualified to enter.

Among these few, a short man stood out. He was not tall but had piercing eyes, clearly a man of great cunning.

He was Peng Lianhu, the Thousand-Handed Butcher, a renowned expert with even higher martial arts than Shatongtian. Like Shatongtian, he was a long-time leader of a gang in Shanxi and Hebei, and the two had been close friends for many years.

Shatongtian was laughing heartily because his old friend had come in person. The birthday celebration was just a pretext; the real goal was to plunder wealth from others. He didn't even care about his own birthday, but he was genuinely moved and happy that his busy friend had come.

The two powerful gang leaders, with similar status and martial arts, had a lot in common. They sat together, laughing and chatting, like the best of friends.

If Su Yi were here, he would surely shout, "Blinding my 24K titanium dog eyes!" and retreat immediately. Fighting such a person, the outcome was secondary; if he accidentally touched him, his chastity would be at risk!

Just as they were enjoying their conversation, a loud cry came from outside.

"Bad news, Leader, bad news~~~"

A small gatekeeper, panic-stricken, burst in, tripping as he entered, clearly in a state of extreme panic.

Seeing his subordinate lose face in front of his old friend, Shatongtian felt embarrassed and was about to get angry.

Peng Lianhu stopped him, smiling. "Let's hear what he has to say. It might be a serious matter."

Persuaded by his old friend, Shatongtian calmed down and said angrily, "Speak! What is it? If it's not urgent, I'll flay you alive!"

"Second Master, Second Master... Second Master is here!" the gatekeeper panted, out of breath.

"Oh? My brother is here?" Shatongtian was delighted, and a young man nearby also smiled, clearly the young master who had taken Su Yi's horse. "Uncle, Father is really here. He still cares about you..."

"He went to great lengths to send me a fine horse and travel a long distance to see me..." Shatongtian's face was full of brotherly affection.

"No, no, no, no, no... that's not right!" The gatekeeper caught his breath and said, "Second Master was brought here bound. A young man tied him up and said he came to wish you a happy birthday. He also said... he said..."

"What else did he say!?" Shatongtian was furious, grabbing the gatekeeper by the collar. "Speak quickly! If you hesitate, I'll beat you to death!"

"He said his name is Invincible, and he came to seek a defeat, hoping the Leader won't disappoint him!"

Shatongtian and Peng Lianhu both gasped in shock!
