Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 278: Utterly Astonished

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Utterly Astonished

Just as everyone thought Yang Wei was going to be kicked away by Su Hao, Yang Tian moved. Yang Tian grabbed Yang Wei’s collar with one hand and tugged.

Yang Wei instantly escaped from danger.

Su Hao, somewhat surprised, chuckled and said, "So, you’ve got some moves, huh? What’s the matter? Were you scared silly by me earlier? And now you’ve finally come to your senses?"

"Scared silly?"

Yang Tian shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "I was just thinking."

"Thinking? What were you thinking about?"

Su Hao sneered, "Thinking about how to escape from my grasp? Let me tell you this: since the moment I saw you, your fate was already decided!"

As he spoke, Su Hao turned his hands over, ready to strike Yang Tian.

But Yang Tian extended a single finger, pressing it directly against Su Hao’s forehead.

Su Hao instantly felt as though his forehead had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer, his entire body trembled, and under the force of Yang Tian’s finger, his legs gave way, and he knelt to the ground.

Yang Tian maintained his indifferent expression, saying, "I was merely thinking—how many times your earlier words could have cost you your life!"

How many times could it cost me my life?

Hearing Yang Tian’s words, Su Hao’s face instantly turned red with anger, and he was about to curse out loud.

However, under the effect of Yang Tian’s finger, he seemed to lose the ability to speak.

His mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but not a single word came out.

Seeing Su Hao subdued by Yang Tian with just one finger, the crowd was utterly astonished!

They had thought Yang Tian was someone of high status—a giant, a Major General!

But they hadn’t expected Yang Tian’s skills to be this formidable!

However, Fan Benshu, who had already seen Yang Tian’s methods, although fearful, couldn’t help but open his mouth upon realizing Su Hao’s identity, saying, "Yang Tian! Don’t forget who you’re standing before—this is the eldest young master of the Su Family. What are you trying to do? Let him go at once, or else..."

Slap!

Before Fan Benshu could finish his sentence, Yang Tian swung an open palm, slapping him across the face.

Fan Benshu spun 360 degrees in the air like a cannonball before crashing headfirst into the corner. His head was bleeding profusely, his fate uncertain!

"What I do is not for others to comment on!"

Yang Tian didn’t even cast Fan Benshu a glance, snorting coldly with immense arrogance!

Sunx Tianming, Bao Liang, and the others were petrified after witnessing Yang Tian’s sudden and shocking attack.

Even Jin Yizhen, who initially thought Yang Tian was nothing special, now had her mouth gaping in disbelief.

But how could she possibly understand the extent of Yang Tian’s power? It was far beyond what someone of her mortal status could perceive!

As a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, Yang Tian’s aura was already under complete control. If he released it now, no one present would likely remain conscious!

At this moment, Yang Tian’s finger and slap held absolute dominance over the room!

Inside the Golden Autumn Hall’s main venue.

Because of Yang Tian’s actions and his statement that "What I do is not for others to comment on," everyone present froze in place for a full ten minutes!

They weren’t just shocked by Yang Tian’s deeds but also filled with genuine awe at the overbearing demeanor of such a powerhouse!

What is a true powerhouse?

This—this is it!

Yet, while revering Yang Tian, many were also eager to see how this confrontation would be resolved with things escalating to this level!

After all, the hall was filled with juniors, while the elders of various families were all upstairs on the second floor.

Su Hao and Fan Benshu—a kneeling man and a man who was struck flying. Could the elders behind these two families possibly let this slide?

Sure enough, movement was heard at the staircase, and one by one, the elders who had been on the second floor began descending.

Yang Zhixiong, upon seeing Yang Tian, immediately wore a delighted expression.

The elders upstairs naturally refrained from acting as rashly as the juniors downstairs. Yet, their earlier discussions hadn’t been without plenty of mockery toward Yang Zhixiong.

As for Fan Xian, the Fan Family Head, after seeing the fragile state of his son Fan Benshu, he instantly grew anxious. Upon hearing the crowd muttering Yang Tian’s name, his anger began to surface.

However, upon seeing Su Hao kneeling before Yang Tian, Fan Xian quickly forgot about his son.

Fan Xian strode to Yang Tian, his expression cold, and said, "Are you Yang? What is the meaning of this? I..."

"Noisy!" Yang Tian stated indifferently.

"Noisy? Did you just call me noisy?"

Fan Xian’s rage caused his entire body to tremble.

Who was he?

The Fan Family Head! A giant in Ann Province!

Wherever he went, he was someone to be feared!

While Yang Tian was also considered a giant, in Fan Xian’s eyes, he was merely a skilled seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy!

Could such a boy actually dare to speak to him this way?

Fan Xian snorted coldly, saying, "Kid, if you don’t give me an explanation today, my Fan Family will not let you off!"

Slap!

To everyone’s surprise, Yang Tian didn’t even acknowledge Fan Xian and delivered yet another slap.

Fan Xian was immediately sent flying, crashing into the corner—the same fate as his son Fan Benshu!

Yang Tian remained expressionless, coldly stating, "Your Fan Family won’t let me off? Are you even worthy?"

Hiss!

Arrogant!

This was the epitome of arrogance!

Even if Yang Tian was a major figure in Su Province and a Major General, Fan Xian was the Fan Family Head of Ann Province!

And Yang Tian struck him just like that?

Nearly everyone drew a sharp breath upon hearing Yang Tian’s remark!

Yang Tian’s actions were not only frightening but unnervingly bold!

A single slap could leave someone’s fate uncertain. The identity of the person slapped aside—who could withstand such a blow?

"He’s not worthy? Then am I?"

Amidst the stunned crowd, a middle-aged man in an impeccably tailored suit spoke up, his aura commanding without needing anger.

"My name is Su Rui! I am Su Hao’s father, the third brother of the Su Family, known as Third Master Su!"

The man introduced himself before scrutinizing Yang Tian, adding, "So, this is the so-called Mr. Yang—a young man merely seventeen or eighteen years old. Haha! Still, having strength doesn’t mean everything!"

Third Master Su!

Upon hearing the name, Sunx Tianming and the others’ expressions shifted immediately!

Although Third Master Su didn’t seem to hold much direct power within the Su Family, he was still one of the elders!

More crucially, the Su Family’s business dealings were largely handled by him. In essence, Third Master Su was the Su Family’s representation and held considerable influence—even figures from the military wouldn’t dare offend him casually!

Add to that, rumors spoke highly of Third Master Su’s personality and methods, evident in the calm demeanor he maintained even as his son knelt before Yang Tian.

Observing the reactions of the juniors like Sunx Tianming, paired with the respectful expressions of other family elders around him, Su Rui’s eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction.

However, upon seeing his son Su Hao still kneeling before Yang Tian, that satisfaction again turned to cold ruthlessness. He sneered, "Out of courtesy, I’ll address you as Mr. Yang. Without it, I’ll call you ’boy’!"

"Boy, I know what your backing is—it’s your title as Major General, right? But do you think having a hollow and meaningless rank gives you the guts to provoke the Su Family? Let me make something clear: even if your rank were legitimate, my Su Family wouldn’t be something you could touch!"

Su Rui wasn’t speaking baselessly!

Thanks to certain special policies, the dominant Su Family held invaluable importance to the authorities above.

If things escalated, those authorities truly might not side with Yang Tian.

This was, in fact, the real reason why the Jin Family, Bao Family, and Sunx Family had taken opposing stances toward the Yang Family in the first place.

But Yang Tian appeared wholly unbothered by Su Rui’s remarks. Or rather, he couldn’t care less about him at all.
