Chapter 9: Escalating Chaos (1/2)
“Who dares to brawl in the capital!”
Wang Yan put down his wine cup and his eyebrows shot up. Just his displeasure by itself was sufficient to intimidate others.
The general who had dominated the battlefields would not allow a speck of dust to irritate his eye. Everything was either black or white to him, and what he detested the most were people who overstepped on the law.
For someone to cause trouble in the Vast Crane Pavilion in the capital, where the Son of the Heavens resided, that person truly had n0 fear and eyes for the law!
At which, Wang Yan’s right hand slammed on the table as he stood up, readying himself to take a look.
Upon seeing such a sight, astonishment flashed through Yao Guang Yi’s gaze and he hurriedly tried to placate him:
“Hehe, Brother Wang, you are a general of the royal court, there is no need for you to interfere in such trifling affairs! Come, come, drink! Let’s get drunk today!”
Halfway through his words, Yao Guang Yi lifted his wine cup, gesturing for Wang Yan to ignore the ruckus and sit back down. What a joke! He had planned this for a very long time, and even though he managed to dupe him over this time, it might not work the second time.
If he allowed Wang Yan to leave, all of his efforts would be wasted.
“This… Alright then.”
Wang Yan was unwilling to, but upon seeing Yao Guang Yi lift his wine cup, he could only sit back down.
Seeing Wang Yan give up on the idea of taking a look, the burden grasping tightly at his heart was released. He grabbed the wine bottle and topped up Wang Yan’s drink. However, Yao Guang Yi was still anxious within. He knew the condition of the Vast Crane Pavilion and everyone in the premises was his men.
If so, how could a brawl possibly break out? Could it be that someone had barged in?
He had already made a lot of preparations in advance for today’s plan. The walls of the Vast Crane Pavilion were plated with metal and even a mosquito would find it hard to fly in. Who would be so capable of being able to wreck havoc in his Vast Crane Pavilion despite everything he had planned?
“If I find out who was the one foiling my plans in Vast Crane Pavilion, I will definitely his life a living hell!”
Yao Guang Yi clenched his fists tightly and a savage gleam flashed across his eyes. This plan was crucial to the fight between King Qi and King Song, as well as the political struggle occurring in the royal court.
The Yao Clan had sided itself with King Qi and was already embroiled in the fight. There was no path of retreat for them anymore. At this point, whoever who tried to foil his plans would be the mortal enemy of the Yao Clan.
Given the authority Yao Clan wielded in the royal court and King Qi’s backing, it wasn’t a difficult task for them to crush the clan of an ordinary official!
“Brother Wang!”
Yao Guang Yi contemplated for a moment and decided to continue appeasing Wang Yan. This fellow had an inflexible personality and he followed his values too firmly. If he didn’t appease him properly, it was still possible for him to want to head out and take a look at the situation:
“The capitals are filled with profligate scions, so it was impossible to avoid brawling between them. It would be alright so as long no one loses their lives. Furthermore, we have some experts in the Vast Crane Pavilion to ensure security, so it will probably calm down in a while…”
Right after saying his words, peng! Another figure flew out from the windows of the Vast Crane Pavilion, smashing heavily onto the street. After which, the third collision, the fourth collision…
In that instant, Yao Guang Yi’s expression changed.
…
“Little sister, Antelope’s Horn!”
“Little sister, Crane Combing its Feathers!”
“…Monkey Stealing Peaches!”
…
In the third floor of the Vast Crane Pavilion, the Wang Family’s little sister attacked the charging assailants as though she was hanging paintings on the wall. The young valiant gentlemen and experts from the Yao Residence were sent flying as though rubber balls.
The Wang Family’s little sister’s indolence sunk right into the bones and she often slacked off during training. The moves that she was capable of using was extremely pathetic. Yet, she was extremely obedient to her elder brother.
When her fearsome innate strength was coupled with the discernment ability and experience that Wang Chong had accumulated in his previous life, the situation immediately changed.
In the entire room, other than Yao Feng who could withstand the little girl’s blows, the others were sent flying away in an instant. It only took a short moment for most of them to be groaning all over the room.
Large holes had appeared all over the room. The little sister of the Wang Family was not only able to send them flying with her overwhelming strength, most of them flew through the walls and crashed down onto the streets.
“You darned lass!”
The more Yao Feng fought, the more astounded and angry he was. At this moment, his eyes were dyed completely red.
Wang Chong had two sisters, one was fifteen-year-old while the other was ten-year-old. Honestly, Yao Feng had never taken them seriously. He didn’t expect that the younger one would be such a tough nut to crack. Not only did she ruin his gathering, she even wounded him.
“Ignore that little lass, capture Wang Chong! Capture that rascal!”
Yao Feng yelled. He could clearly tell that if it wasn’t for Wang Chong, this lass wouldn’t be a match for the crowd at all.
Furthermore, from the fact how she obeyed every single word of Wang Chong’s, that little lass would definitely surrender if they captured Wang Chong.
Weng!
Upon hearing Yao Feng’s words, three to four of the Yao Residence’s guards who had just rushed in ignored the powerful little sister and charged straight at Wang Chong.
Sou. Wang Chong slid on the ground as though a loach, swiftly avoiding the attacks of these few people. He didn’t have sufficient strength and he wasn’t a match for a single person that was in the room. However, given the capabilities and experience he had accumulated in his previous life, he was more than capable of escaping their attacks.
“Little sister, listen to my words, end it fast! The Inverse Golden Bell!”
Deng deng deng deng, Wang Chong could clearly hear the sound of footsteps on the wooden panels below rushing upward. They were the experts of the Yao Residence.
The walls of the Vast Crane Pavilion was now plated with metal and the interiors were filled with experts under Yao Guang Yi’s command. Initially, they didn’t pay much heed to the commotion above but the moment the fight broke out, they immediately rushed up.
Under such conditions, it wasn’t favorable for the two of them to drag it out. They had to finish it fast. Otherwise, when the backup arrived, even if he and his sister had multiple arms, they wouldn’t be able to cope.
“Okay!”
The Wang Family’s younger sister answered with a bright voice. The more she fought, the more excited she became. Her entire body was trembling with exhilaration. Even though she had fought with others before, she had never felt such a surge of adrenaline before.
She felt as though the brawny experts from the Yao Residence and Yao Feng were rushing straight up to her fists, and she knocked out each of them with a single fist. To her, it felt like a game. In a few breaths, she cleared out half of the entire room.
“Little sister, now! Tail Whip of the Spiritual Snake!”
Upon seeing an opportunity, Wang Chong directed her little sister to grab hold of Yao Feng.
While crossing blows with the little girl, a part of Yao Feng’s attention had been focused on the surroundings and he had noticed Wang Chong’s movements. ‘Tail Whip of the Spiritual Snake’ was a very basic movement. Wang Chong was clearly dreaming if he had hoped that his little sister could deal with him with this move.
Boom!
Yao Feng’s feet moved as he stepped forward to attack the Wang Family’s little sister with a hammer at her heart. However, the hammer landed on empty air. His attack was slightly off!
“Not good!”
Yao Feng’s heart sank. In that instant, he knew that something was wrong. The ‘Tail Whip of the Spiritual Snake’ of the Wang Family’s little sister was completely different from the original version.
Normally, this would only happen among people who hadn’t reach a level of mastery with their techniques. Yao Feng had overestimated the Wang Family’s little sister’s mastery in these skills. At the same time, he had also underestimated how lazy a ten-year-old girl was.
This negligence would still be acceptable normally, but at this very moment, it was a fatal misjudgement!
The moment such a thought appeared in his head, Yao Feng immediately tried to retreat backward but it was too late. A small right leg kicked across Yao Feng’s head, knocking him down.
Boom!
As though struck by an invisible hammer, Yao Feng’s body fell down and crashed heavily onto the wooden panels in the room. The panels fractured apart upon contact with Yao Feng’s body.
