Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Challenging the Limits of Master Xiao

Xiao Zheng furrowed his brow; he hadn’t expected this 13K Hall Master named Zhang Cong to be so crazed.

Yun Tianlong and the others were already brawling with them, and Xiao Zheng couldn’t just stand idly by; with each punch and kick, he could take down a man.

Thankfully, the space here was quite cramped. Yun Tianlong and his men, depending on the strategic advantage of the terrain, were able to hold their ground against the 13K members, but they began to sustain injuries continuously.

Xiao Zheng appeared nonchalant, having knocked down a dozen or so people all by himself.

The whole bar was in shambles, in complete disarray.

Although Zhang Cong had brought a significant number of men, due to the bar’s layout, these men couldn’t fully engage in the fight.

Though Yun Tianlong and his men were also getting hurt, their casualties were much more severe.

"Zhang Cong!"

At that moment, Yun Tianlong roared angrily.

He punched down the person entangling him, not caring about anything else as he charged toward Zhang Cong, seeing no one else in his eyes.

Several people were about to step forward to stop Yun Tianlong, but Zhang Cong stopped them with a shout, "Stand back, all of you, I’ll handle this myself!"

Zhang Cong tore off the golden T-shirt he was wearing, revealing strong muscles underneath. He wanted to see what made Yun Tianlong so arrogant.

Upon seeing Zhang Cong accept the challenge, the corners of Yun Tianlong’s mouth curled up. He had long heard of Zhang Cong but felt that stories of one man fighting dozens with a knife were just rumors, unworthy of belief.

The two quickly clashed into a fight.

Yun Tianlong landed a punch on Zhang Cong’s face, and Zhang Cong kicked Yun Tianlong in the stomach—the two of them fought fiercely without cessation.

However, within a few minutes, the tide between them began to turn, yielding a clear advantage and disadvantage. To everyone’s astonishment, Yun Tianlong had gained the upper hand.

"Can Yun Tianlong really fight that well? I’ve never heard of it before!"

"Is Zhang Cong drunk today?"

Many people started to doubt, feeling puzzled. In their view, Zhang Cong should’ve been the one overpowering Yun Tianlong—that would’ve been the expected outcome.

But instead, the situation was the exact opposite, with Yun Tianlong successfully pressing down on Zhang Cong during the fight.

In their minds, Zhang Cong was known to be a formidable fighter, and no one expected him to be suppressed by Yun Tianlong.

"Panting heavily," Zhang Cong was evidently gasping for breath.

But Yun Tianlong showed no sign of distress, and although slightly winded, he wasn’t panting as severely as Zhang Cong.

Zhang Cong’s eyes were filled with solemnity; it wasn’t that Yun Tianlong was exceedingly powerful, but rather his own skills had declined.

Over the years, as life had become better, Zhang Cong had indeed kept up with his training. But, given his status, no one would actually fight him seriously. Even when conflicts with the Luo Sheng Sect arose, he never needed to personally get involved, which led to his skills deteriorating over the years.

"Rumors are just that, rumors, unworthy of belief," Yun Tianlong said with disdain.

Zhang Cong’s face stiffened, but he had to admit that he was genuinely no match for Yun Tianlong now.

"I’ll talk after I take you down!" Yun Tianlong charged at him again.

At this point, Zhang Cong’s stamina was nearly depleted, but in front of so many people, he couldn’t admit defeat and thus had to force himself to keep going.

Right then, a commotion erupted at the entrance of the bar, and a middle-aged man was escorted by a crowd as he walked in.

"Ah, Luo Yusheng from Luo Sheng Sect is here!"

"What? Luo Yusheng actually came to 13K’s territory himself?"

"My God, such a big shot came in person?"

Luo Yusheng, with a gloomy face, hurriedly walked in. The first person he looked for was not Yun Tianlong but Xiao Zheng.

At the moment, Xiao Zheng was sitting on a stool, with more than a dozen people in front of him. They were all looking at Xiao Zheng with trepidation. Besides, there were many people lying on the ground beneath his feet, wailing in pain.

Seeing that Xiao Zheng was unharmed, Luo Yusheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Xiao Zheng today, he would have been in deep trouble.

"Boss, Zhang Cong has been captured by me!"

Just then, Yun Tianlong came over, pushing the bruised and swollen Zhang Cong.

"Good, very good," said Luo Yusheng with a nod.

By now, the remaining dozen or so members of 13K didn’t dare to approach, completely intimidated by Xiao Zheng. Moreover, Luo Yusheng had brought dozens of his own men.

"A mere hall master dares to offend Master Xiao? Who gave you the courage? Is this how Boss Yan disciplines his subordinates?" Luo Yusheng slapped Zhang Cong hard across the face.

Although Zhang Cong was restrained, his face was full of defiance as he spat out viciously, "What are you to lecture me? And what about Master Xiao? He’s just a washed-up Sect Leader! In my heart, Boss Yan is the real big brother! You’re not even fit to carry his shoes."

Zhang Cong clearly looked down upon Luo Yusheng and the others.

It made sense, as he hadn’t even taken Xiao Zheng seriously, let alone Luo Yusheng.

In his eyes, it was Yan Guanghui whom he truly respected.

"Impudent!"

"Slap him!"

Both Luo Yusheng and Yun Tianlong were fuming with anger, slapping Zhang Cong’s face several more times.

The onlookers exchanged glances, none of them had expected Zhang Cong to be so brazen, to not even consider Luo Yusheng worth his attention. What puzzled them most was why Luo Yusheng seemed so respectful towards Xiao Zheng, wondering who this young man actually was.

"Forget it, I’ll call Yan Guanghui myself. I really want to hear what he has to say now," Xiao Zheng decided, having had his fill of amusement. He was unexpectedly moved by Luo Yusheng’s personal arrival.

Xiao Zheng took out his phone and dialed Yan Guanghui’s number.

Yan Guanghui had also started out with Xiao Zheng, conquering Zhonghai together. It could be said that the glory of the Tianji Sect in Zhonghai was largely thanks to Luo Yusheng, Yan Guanghui, and others like them.

Unlike Luo Yusheng’s frankness, Yan Guanghui was very cunning back then, always coming up with sneaky tricks. While sometimes effective, they occasionally caused big trouble.

But even when Yan Guanghui caused big problems, Xiao Zheng never punished him, always laughing it off.

Because Xiao Zheng felt that they were all old-timers who had fought battles with him, he couldn’t chill their hearts over a few incidents.

However, what Xiao Zheng didn’t know was that after his departure, the swift splintering of the Tianji Sect was partly instigated by Yan Guanghui.

Yan Guanghui had great ambition. Perhaps at the start, he genuinely admired Xiao Zheng, but as the Tianji Sect’s influence expanded across Zhonghai and Korea, raising his status, his thoughts began to change—he couldn’t stand playing second fiddle to anyone.

While Xiao Zheng was still around, even if he had these thoughts, he did not dare show them because Luo Yusheng and the others respected Xiao Zheng deeply. If he had rebelled against the Tianji Sect at that time, he would have had no chance at all.

Yan Guanghui was very patient, biding his time until Xiao Zheng left before he started to implement his plan.

Actually, Yan Guanghui wanted to become the Sect Leader of Tianji Sect, but Luo Yusheng and the others disagreed, insisting on waiting for Xiao Zheng’s return. So Yan Guanghui had to secretly sow discord, causing the Sect to fracture.

Such deep scheming indeed.
