Chapter 60

In Shen Lang's impression, this Xiao family steward Wu Qu was the kind of petty and mean-spirited person who would take advantage of others, similar to the steward of the Shen family whom he had killed.

Listening to the other party's wildly arrogant words, Shen Lang laughed again. There were indeed many such scoundrels, and one could encounter them anywhere.

Wu Qu suddenly laughed strangely again: "Hehehe, don't you even look at where you are? Is this a place you can come to? Your father is seriously ill, and you can't even afford the medical expenses, yet you still want to go to the Listening Wind Wine Tower's VIP area? Do you think you came here to beg?"

"Ha ha ha ha..." The two lackeys behind Wu Qu laughed very appropriately.

Outside the Listening Wind Wine Tower, a large crowd had gathered on the street, all pointing and whispering about Shen Lang and his group.

"That old man said his name is Shen Lang. Could he be the useless Shen Lang from the Shen family? I heard he doesn't show up much at the Tower Cloud Academy. Why is he here?"

"It should be that Shen Lang. Do you think there are many Shen Langs in Tianfeng City who are called useless? If it were someone else, even if Wu Qu is the Xiao family steward, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant at the Listening Wind Wine Tower, right?"

"Poor guy, Shen Lang can't cultivate at all, and now his father is bedridden with a serious illness. How can he compete with the Xiao family steward?"

"Indeed, the two lackeys behind him are both at the Sixth Level of the Force Martial Realm. Shen Lang, who can't cultivate, is being bullied. It's a bit too much."

A cold look flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and then he calmly said, "So, Steward Wu really doesn't want to step aside?"

"What? Are you, the useless one,不服 (not convinced)? The steward is even elevating you by talking to you! Get lost, you son of a bitch!" The two lackeys behind the steward laughed wildly and simultaneously reached out to grab Shen Lang.

At this moment, in the crowd on the street, a beautiful figure heard the commotion and turned around.

It was Shui Qingwu, who had been wandering around the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Shui Qingwu walked over to Shen Lang with a slightly furrowed brow. Just as she was about to speak, she saw this scene...

She saw Shen Lang extend his hands, moving as fast as the wind, instantly grabbing the hands of the two lackeys, pulling them toward himself, and then twisting them!

With a crack, two pig-like screams immediately echoed through the sky, and the two arms were twisted like braids.

"Such quick movements!"

"Very ruthless!"

Many people in the crowd immediately let out exclamations of surprise.

"You have a lot of nerve! You dare to hit someone from the Xiao family?" The steward roared, throwing a punch at Shen Lang's chest.

Shen Lang didn't even move his gaze. His right hand extended, and his palm quickly rotated on the steward's fist, instantly neutralizing the force. Then his palm, flashing with electricity, grabbed the steward's fist and pushed it down hard. With a crack, Wu Qu also started howling in pain.

But it wasn't over yet. Shen Lang changed his gesture, grabbed the steward's wrist, and pulled him over!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

It seemed like Shen Lang was performing a magic trick. He pulled out Wu Qu's belt and swung it like the wind, binding the three of them together in a big bundle in the blink of an eye!

The crowd on the street watching the commotion were stunned. Was this really the useless Shen Lang from the Shen family?

A useless person who couldn't cultivate, standing there without moving, had just disabled three people at the Fifth and Sixth Levels of the Force Martial Realm?

"Let us go, or you'll regret it!" Wu Qu shouted.

Shen Lang didn't respond, just slapped him.

"Slap!"

The sound was crisp, and a tooth flew out, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air before landing on the street.

"You dare to hit me?" Wu Qu screamed in pain, his voice even louder than the two still screaming lackeys. The three of them were competing to see who could scream the loudest.

"Slap!"

Shen Lang slapped Wu Qu again.

"Do you know the consequences of offending the Xiao family?" Wu Qu screamed hysterically.

"Slap!"

Another slap, this one even harder, making Wu Qu spit blood.

It was only at this moment that the old man finally came to his senses.

The other party didn't care about offending the Xiao family, and more importantly, the two lackeys who were bound together didn't say anything and didn't get beaten by Shen Lang!

He whimpered a few times, learning his lesson and not speaking anymore.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in the present, and a gentleman takes revenge after ten years.

"Speak, why aren't you speaking? Continue," Shen Lang said indifferently.

Wu Qu shook his head, refusing to speak.

"Slap!" Shen Lang slapped him again.

The crowd was stunned, and Wu Qu was stunned.

"What? How can you be like this? I speak, you hit me; I don't speak, you still hit me?"

"Don't look at me like that. I just feel a bit itchy in my hands. What's the problem?" Shen Lang said with a wicked smile.

"You, you, you are too unreasonable. I just called you useless..." Wu Qu wanted to cry. Now he regretted it so much. If he had known this kid was so powerful and unpredictable, he would have stayed as far away as possible.

"If I am useless, what are you?" Shen Lang said coldly, and with another slap, Wu Qu screamed in pain.

"We are nothing, we are nothing... wuwu, please stop hitting me. You've knocked out all my teeth. I beg you..." Wu Qu wailed, pleading for mercy. He couldn't understand how a so-called useless person could have such strength. One slap made him feel like his whole face wasn't his own.

"Useless, let go of the people from the Xiao family! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" A light voice came from the crowd, and a young man in fine clothes stepped forward.

He was tall and imposing, with a dignified appearance. His eyes shone like cold stars, and his eyebrows were as dark as ink.

He was muscular, with thick eyebrows that arched like swords, and a stern, imposing face.

As he walked, everyone along the way made way for him.

"This is good, it's Xiao Bofan, the first genius of the Xiao family!"

"Xiao Bofan is at the Fifth Level of the Qi Martial Realm, far stronger than the three bound people!"

"Shen Lang is in trouble. No matter how powerful he is, how can he compete with Xiao Bofan at the Fifth Level of the Qi Martial Realm?"

Shen Lang slowly turned around and glanced at Xiao Bofan, saying, "Are you pointing the Qinggang Sword at me, wanting to kill me? Just because I slapped the Xiao family steward?"

"Let them go, cut off one arm, and this matter will be settled," Xiao Bofan said with a cold look.

Shen Lang's lips curled into a smile. "Just cutting off one arm? It seems I got a good deal. Should I celebrate with drums and gongs... But I don't want to cut off my arm right now. What do you think?"

"Then... die!" In Xiao Bofan's icy gaze, Shen Lang was already a dead man.

"Die? I didn't realize that the Xiao family, one of the four major families, has become so powerful and domineering," Shen Lang said softly, then suddenly looked at the crowd, pointing at them and asking, "May I ask, is this the rule here? Can the strong trample the dignity of the weak at will, and if the weak resist, they will die?"

His dark, deep eyes swept over the crowd. Those who met his gaze instinctively looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

Shui Qingwu's veil moved slightly, then returned to its original state, still not speaking.

Shen Lang's words made people feel heavy. Although it wasn't entirely true, in this world of the strong preying on the weak, who could say it wasn't so?

Even the City Lord's Mansion of Tianfeng City, if not for the City Lord Ye Xiao's connection to the Imperial Dragon Sect, which protected him, Tianfeng City could also be trampled into the ground.

This place was originally the territory of the Evil Wind Valley, and the City Lord's Mansion was a vassal of the Evil Wind Valley. If not for Ye Xiao's connections, how could he manage this place?

How could the Evil Wind Valley let a person at the Seventh or Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm be the city lord?

...

In this world, the strong can do as they please, as long as they have the qualifications and strength. Either you have the strength yourself, or you have someone above you!

The so-called "the strong are respected" is just a grandiose statement. The true law of the Star Continent is the strong preying on the weak!

Seeing no one speak, and the killing intent in Xiao Bofan's eyes growing stronger.

At this moment, Shen Lang's lips curled slightly, and he said, "I understand, I know what to do."

"Very good, since you know what to do, cutting off one arm is still possible now," Xiao Bofan's expression improved slightly, but he was still cold and intimidating.

"Alright, I understand." Shen Lang smiled calmly, then suddenly spun rapidly on the spot, pointing like a sword and drawing three lines in the air behind the three people bound together!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A sharp blade-like aura was released from his fingertips, instantly severing the arms of the steward and the two lackeys!

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The three severed arms fell to the ground, the fingers still twitching violently!

"Ah!"

The steward and the two lackeys screamed hysterically, and the crowd also became extremely agitated. No one expected the so-called useless Shen Lang to be so ruthless, directly severing the arms of the three people!

"Shen Lang, you are courting death!" Xiao Bofan's face twisted in anger. The first genius of the Xiao family's aura immediately surged, and he drew the Qinggang Sword, the sword light like a dragon, about to slash at Shen Lang.

Shui Qingwu was startled and extended her hand, ready to strike a palm to help Shen Lang...

At this moment, a black shadow rushed out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, flying through the air. The long sword in his hand drew a very beautiful arc in the air, and five plum blossoms appeared.

"Another person from the Xiao family has come. Shen Lang has really stirred up a hornet's nest. This is the Plum Blossom Sword Intent! The Xiao family has sent out two experts!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

However, unexpectedly, the five plum blossoms did not target Shen Lang but flew directly toward Xiao Bofan!

"Xiao Qiyu, are you crazy?" Xiao Bofan was greatly startled and turned around, swinging his sword to stab at the five plum blossoms.
