Chapter 373: Chapter 373 A Martial Man_1

"Grieve with restraint?"

Ding Li sneered coldly, "Spare me your crocodile tears and false sympathy!

All of this, isn’t it exactly what your Wang Family has been longing to see?

You’ve always wanted to dominate Tianhai.

However, my Ding Family has a master in the north.

The Du Family similarly has connections in the north.

So you cozied up to the Xu Family and the Huang Family, didn’t you?"

Wang Chen replied indifferently, "Ding Li, I’m here not for mockery.

I only want to tell you one thing, the northern Ding Family will eventually be doomed.

Yet, we do not wish to see the Tianhai Ding Family fall.

If you are willing, my Wang Family will surely support you.

We wish to see a tripartite balance of power in Tianhai,

controlling the Xu Family and the Huang Family is no easy task!"

"Are you suggesting that our Ding Family become dogs for your Wang Family?"

Ding Li said coldly.

"Do you have any other options?"

Wang Chen sneered, "Your father, Ding Feng, sacrificed his life to save you, should you not strive to live on and preserve the Ding Family’s legacy?"

"Right, Ding Li, ’With green mountains still there, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.’ All three families have suffered great losses.

If the fight continues, I fear we all will be irreparably damaged!"

Someone chimed in from the side.

"If you agree, I can help mediate for you right now.

Neither the Xu Family nor the Huang Family would dare to refuse me this face,"

said Wang Chen.

With a cold laugh, Ding Li retorted, "Indeed, they wouldn’t dare refuse you that face, but I, Ding Li, will not give it to you.

The hatred for my father’s murder is irreconcilable.

There’s no chance for reconciliation,

even in death, I’d drag those two families down with me.

Enough talk, get out! Or I’ll kill you!"

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Wang Chen was not intimidated by Ding Li.

Ding Li was no match for him.

He shook his head and said, "Originally, my Wang Family was willing to give the Ding Family a chance.

Since you don’t appreciate it, then meet your end.

Still delusional about dragging the Xu Family and the Huang Family down with you?

Such naive thinking, you haven’t even seen the true strength of both families, how ludicrous!"

Having said that, Wang Chen turned around and left.

"The Xiao Family from Jiangnan, Xiao Chen pays his respects!"

The moment Wang Chen stepped out of the Ding Family’s entrance, he paused.

Turning his head he glanced at Xiao Chen.

He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before,

but couldn’t recall at the moment.

If Wang Chen had remembered who Xiao Chen was at this moment, maybe the following events wouldn’t have occurred.

Alas, he did not.

He did not remember that Xiao Chen was the person who easily defeated Akuan at the Jiangbei Martial Arts Tournament.

Akuan was very strong,

even though he was just a bodyguard for the Liu Family of Jiangyuan Prefecture,

his abilities were certainly stronger than the aged Northern Sword King,

much stronger than Wang Chen.

Wang Chen left.

Xiao Chen entered the ancestral hall.

Ding Li looked at Xiao Chen with hatred blazing in his eyes.

He had long forgotten his father’s advice; in his view, if not for Xiao Chen,

his father would not have died.

Even though the Xu Family and the Huang Family were loathsome, Xiao Chen was equally detestable.

"You bastard, you dare to come to the Ding Family, I’ll kill you!"

The roar of Ding Li was like a lion in a frenzy,

eyes filled with only hatred and the intent to kill.

Compared to Wang Chen, he clearly loathed Xiao Chen more.

Xiao Chen completely ignored Ding Li, lit three incense sticks, and placed them in the censer.

At that moment, Ding Li was restrained by his own men.

It was Ding Feng’s most trusted bodyguard before he died, and the man appointed as the guardian to the young.

"Young Master, keep calm, do not forget the words of the old master before he passed. And remember, this is the old master’s funeral.

If he has come to pay his respects, we should not act out, that would be disrespectful to the old master,"

the man advised.

Although Ding Li was extremely angry, he ultimately held back his anger.

Xiao Chen merely clasped his hands together, without bowing.

Ding Feng had not yet earned the right to make him bow.

Immediately after, he turned his gaze to Ding Li, a trace of disdain visible in his eyes, "You should thank your subordinate.

If it weren’t for his intervention,

today you might have been off chasing after your father!"

"You deserve to die!"

Ding Li bellowed.

Xiao Chen, however, no longer paid him any attention but instead looked to the person responsible for entrusting the young to others, "Where is Ding Mulan?"

"Miss Mulan has been out of sight since early morning; she probably left Tianhai City!"

That person said.

"Foolish!"

Xiao Chen said, "I thought you were sensible, but it turns out you are also confused.

Today is the Ding Family’s funeral, the funeral of Ding Mulan’s father.

Do you think she would be absent without good reason?

Right now, she is probably already at the Xu Family!"

What!

Ding Li and that person were both stunned.

"What would my little sister go to the Xu Family for?"

Ding Li was somewhat confused.

"Think about it! Everyone assumes the Ding Family is busy with the funeral; who would expect someone to suddenly attack?

Ding Mulan, she’s out for vengeance for Ding Feng."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "It’s a pity, though! A very clever woman, not lacking in strength either.

But she might be underestimating her enemy a bit."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Li asked.

"Don’t you understand?"

Du Musheng spoke on behalf of Xiao Chen, "Our boss means, the Xu Family and Huang Family might be careless,

but they have experts at home right now.

Experts that even Ding Mulan can’t defeat.

Ding Mulan is finished!"

"What kind of experts could the Xu Family and Huang Family have? Xu Shaoling and Huang Wei are already dead.

Xu Junjie and Huang Tai are also seriously injured.

What can they do?"

Ding Li said disdainfully, "I actually admire my sister; with her skills, she should be able to take the lives of Xu Junjie and Huang Tai to pay tribute to my father!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I won’t deny that.

Ding Mulan is indeed formidable and with the element of surprise, she might indeed be able to take down Xu Junjie and Huang Tai.

However, that would also bring a catastrophe upon the Ding Family."

"Hmph, you’re just trying to scare us!"

Ding Li was somewhat scornful, "Stop spouting nonsense here, just leave.

My father said before he died that I should join you, but I’m not going to listen to him.

In my eyes, you’re one of the murderers who killed my father!

It’s already merciful of me not to kill you!"

"Can you kill me?"

Xiao Chen said with a disdainful smile, "You can’t even defeat that Wang Chen,

and yet my bodyguard could take his life with one move!

I’m not going anywhere.

Because I’m going to wait here for Ding Mulan.

She is the Tianhai City representative I’ve chosen; if she truly can survive and make it back,

even manages to kill Xu Junjie and Huang Tai,

then she will have passed my test.

As for you?

You’re just a common fighter, not particularly strong, far inferior to Ding Mulan.

I really couldn’t care less."

"You! You dare to look down on me!"

This time Ding Li could no longer contain himself.

The mourners had mostly already departed.

The only ones left at the Ding Family were the family members, as well as Xiao Chen and his group.

Suddenly, Ding Li launched a punch towards Xiao Chen’s head.

He didn’t care who this person was; he had to die.

However, his punch was easily blocked by someone.

It was Du Musheng.

"If you want to harm our boss, you’ll have to get through me first!"

Suddenly, Du Musheng exerted force, and Ding Li’s arm was broken.

"Impossible, how did you become so strong all of a sudden, you used to be barely able to fight me to a draw!"

Ding Li was shocked. Du Musheng’s transformation was too drastic, whether in terms of aura or combat strength.

Now he had surpassed Ding Li.
