798: Chapter 758: Facing Reality_1 798: Chapter 758: Facing Reality_1 Zhao Heihu raised his hand and drew the chopping knife from its sheath.

He gripped the handle tightly and walked towards Lu Chuan.

“Boy, let’s not gang up on you, it would seem like we are bullying you.”

“I’ll take care of you myself so you can clearly recognize reality, to let you know that there are heavens beyond heaven, and people beyond people.

Otherwise, you might really start thinking too highly of yourself!”

Lu Chuan sneered, “Those words sound rather ridiculous coming from your mouth.”

“But never mind, you’re just a dead man walking, I don’t need to care about what you say.”

“Seeking death!”

Zhao Heihu bellowed angrily and charged at Lu Chuan.

Inside the Common Fortune Inn, everyone was frightened by the shouts and curses from outside, their hearts pounding.

Dong Jiao stood behind the counter, her face pale, incessantly feeling uneasy.

“They’re really fighting, that young man has too much guts.”

“Can he handle them?

They seem to be less than ten people.

How can they fight against those destitute and extremely vicious bandits?”

“Alas, if this fight gets finished, if we provoke Zhao Heihu and make him angry, I’m afraid we too will end up unlucky by association.”

“What can we do then, we can’t go out and stop them from fighting right now, can we?”

“Bad luck, whose fault is it that we got involved with these bastards!”

Dong Jiao also helplessly sighed, “Just accept our fate, we’re all just waiting for the slaughter, early death or late death, it’s all the same.”

…

Outside, Zhao Heihu rushed at Lu Chuan.

Although he was bulky, standing at one meter ninety, his speed was not slow at all.

In a few swift steps, he closed the gap and approached Lu Chuan.

Then, he gripped the knife handle and swung it down towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan still stood in place, looking at his opponent with serenity.

From the few steps that fellow had just taken, it was clear that his strength was average, not exceeding the Martial Emperor Realm.

Perhaps, the look of someone at the Peak Martial Prince Realm.

Facing such an opponent, Lu Chuan didn’t even bother to lift a finger.

In an instant, Lu Chuan’s eyes emitted a sudden flash of golden light.

Zhao Heihu, who looked directly into Lu Chuan’s eyes, felt an intense headache, as if his head was splitting, and a piercing pain that made his body weak and limp.

He staggered backwards a few steps, his fierce momentum completely dissipated.

Retreating several steps, he knelt on one knee on the ground, with large beads of cold sweat continuously falling from his forehead.

He gasped for air, looking up at Lu Chuan with eyes filled with shock.

Just a single glance had shaken his Divine Soul to the core, causing an excruciating headache, and he had nearly lost his ability to fight.

The disparity in strength sent a chill down his spine.

He took a deep breath, swallowing nervously.

Just the initial confrontation had made him clearly recognize his reality.

“Underlings, ready your weapons.

We’re about to have a tough fight today!”

Zhao Heihu commanded harshly.

Following that, all his underlings raised their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.

The Second Master hurriedly walked forward and helped Zhao Heihu up, “Big brother, what happened?

Why didn’t you strike with that cut just now?”

“Nonsense, do you think I didn’t want to strike?”

“This guy is not simple.

Let’s all go at him together.

Even if we suffer some losses, we must kill this bastard!”

His determination was unyielding as he gritted his teeth looking at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan still appeared calm, which unnerved him and made him start to doubt himself.

“Get him!”

He roared loudly.

Just then, Dongfang Cheng stepped forward and stood beside Lu Chuan.

“Everyone, halt!

Who dares to take another step forward and try?”

Zhao Heihu abruptly raised his head to look at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “And who the hell are you to give orders to my men?”

Immediately, Dongfang Cheng took out the Dongfang family’s token from his bosom.

“I’m the youngest son of the Dongfang Family Patriarch, Dongfang Cheng.

Do I have the right to order you now?”

For a moment, all the bandits were shaken, halting their advance simultaneously, each with a look of terror as they gazed at Dongfang Cheng.

Zhao Heihu lifted his head, his eyes fixed on the token in Dongfang Cheng’s hand.

His breathing became rapid, the token was too familiar, and there was no doubt it was genuine.

“Dongfang Cheng…

you’re Dongfang Cheng?”

“Have you never seen me?”

“No…”

Zhao Heihu shook his head slightly.

“Now, do you still want to continue fighting?”

Zhao Heihu stood up, looked at Dongfang Cheng, and quickly bent over with his hands clasped, “Since it’s Young Master Dongfang here, we certainly wouldn’t dare to be reckless.”

Lu Chuan stepped forward and asked, “So if he wasn’t here, you’d dare to continue being reckless, right?”

Zhao Heihu ignored Lu Chuan, still looking at Dongfang Cheng, “Young Master Dongfang, let’s not interfere with each other’s affairs.

You do your thing and I’ll do mine, how about that?”

“Otherwise, we can leave tonight, and if you wish to stay here, you can rest for the night and we will return tomorrow.”

He looked at Dongfang Cheng earnestly, seemingly negotiating with him.

Dongfang Cheng let out a helpless smile, “Negotiating with me is pointless, talk to him.”

Dongfang Cheng glanced at Lu Chuan.

Zhao Heihu also turned his gaze to Lu Chuan and quickly asked, “Talk to him?

Isn’t he one of your men?”

Dongfang Cheng almost stumbled from surprise, “He’s one of my men?

Are you blind or what?”

“He’s my elder brother.

I’m just an attendant helping him out.

If you have any objections, take it up with him, not me.

Understand?”

Dongfang Cheng’s words left Zhao Heihu completely stunned.

He gazed at Lu Chuan, disbelief in his voice, “He…

he’s your elder brother?

And you’re an attendant?”

His mind went blank, wondering what kind of existence could make the young master of the Dongfang family serve as an attendant?

Lu Chuan smiled awkwardly, “Like the attendant said, he and I are friends, but one thing is certain, I will make the decisions on this matter.”

Dongfang Cheng took two steps back and stood behind Lu Chuan, “Young Master Lu, you decide their fate.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “There’s nothing more to say, I think they should all die.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “Understood, then I’ll say no more.”

Zhao Heihu’s eyes bore into Lu Chuan, “Young Master Lu?”

“Your surname is Lu?”

The Second Master came up nervously, “This person couldn’t possibly be from the Lu family, could he?

We’ve troubled two major families in one day, how unlucky can we get?

Even the people from Forest City won’t be able to protect us now!”

Zhao Heihu swallowed his saliva anxiously.

“Young Master Lu, I realize my mistake, I truly do.

Please give us a chance!”

“We promise never to come to this town again, please show us mercy and give us one chance!”

Without another word, Zhao Heihu knelt on the ground, looking up at Lu Chuan as he continued to plead, “I speak out of turn earlier, I shouldn’t have insulted you.”

“Please give me a chance, I don’t want to die.”

Lu Chuan looked at him and asked, “Tell me, who is the person backing you from behind?”

Zhao Heihu lowered his head, caught in deep hesitation.

He started to speak several times but didn’t have the courage to continue.

“Is it the Forest City Lord?”

Left with no option, he nodded, “Yes, it’s him…”
