Chapter 779: Chapter 466: Shadow in the Night

Yunnan, forest road.

Five or six burly men spread out and surrounded Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong.

By comparison, the two of them, so outnumbered and outmuscled, looked particularly small.

On the bus, a group of tourists looked through the windows at the scene below.

Young people, full of vigor, couldn’t help but clench their fists, wishing they could beat up those damn swindlers.

However, anger aside, they would not put themselves in danger.

In the back row, a cultured-looking middle-aged man said, "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, that young man is unwise!"

A big aunt laughed forcefully, "I think what they are selling is rather good, not cheating at all."

People used various excuses to mask their own cowardice, seemingly putting themselves above others, not needing to stoop to arguing with peasants.

A man with a beer belly took two steps to Jiang Ning’s front, looking like he was about to bump into him.

Jiang Ning stepped back with Xue Yuantong.

Such cowardly behavior immediately elicited "hahaha" laughter from a few men.

"I thought they were something formidable, just a wimp!"

The female tour guide ruthlessly mocked, although the young man was quite handsome, compared to making money, that was nothing!

Remembering that the other party was scared, the female tour guide’s eyes flicked as she thought of a new idea:

"You’ve delayed our time, so many people just for you, delayed almost two hours, here’s the deal, you compensate us for lost earnings, two thousand yuan, pay the money, then we can leave."

Seeing them distorting the truth, Xue Yuantong spoke up, "It hasn’t even been two hours!"

She hadn’t stayed long.

The female guide yelled, "I said two hours, so it’s two hours!"

Xue Yuantong stopped talking.

Jiang Ning, at the center, showed no fear, and said leisurely, "Why are you yelling so loudly?"

The burly man stepped forward, with an arrogant face, "Yo, what’s wrong, you disagree?"

He leaned his large face in, covered with many pockmarks, making him look even more sinister.

"Don’t agree, why don’t you hit me?"

"You hit me?" The burly man opened his mouth wide, blatantly showing his disdain.

They had done this many times before; these outsiders talked big but couldn’t actually fight. He alone could take on three.

He shifted his face, seeming very deserving of a beating, "Hit me, hit me, hit me?"

"Hahahaha!" Several men nearby laughed.

Jiang Ning’s expression was odd as he said to Tongtong, "Look, he’s asking for it."

"Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!" The pockmarked man’s pace quickened.

Everyone was amused, and the atmosphere lightened.

Someone on the bus urged, "Young man, don’t waste time, just pay the money and leave!"

Jiang Ning looked at the pockmarked man, slowly raised his hand, and without hesitation slapped him.

The slap was incredibly fast, creating a whistling sound in the air, and thunderously hit the man on his temple, "Bang," the man who was still yelling a moment ago now lay flat.

Jiang Ning nonchalantly said, "Noisy."

That slap transformed the surrounding atmosphere, like in a lively class discussion when suddenly, Gao Heshuai walks in and says "Alright, let’s start the class."

The female guide’s face, which had been in complete control, twisted in an instant, and the nearby big men roared:

"Si Wazi, you’re courting death!"

They picked up whatever was in hand, mercilessly attacking Jiang Ning from all directions, no holding back.

Xue Yuantong was terribly nervous; she worried for Jiang Ning, unconsciously releasing the grip on the hem of his clothing, afraid to disturb him.

Jiang Ning didn’t retreat but advanced; Divine Sense captured their movements, slow as snails. He snatched the wooden pole coming towards him and swung it with even greater speed.

With powerful force, like sweeping wild grass on the roadside, the wooden pole traced a half-circle, directly throwing several men over.

The tour guide had barely adjusted her expression when she saw what was unfolding before her eyes and again changed her countenance.

Jiang Ning leaned on the pole, no longer looking at the few men wailing on the ground, slightly tilted his head:

"Now, let’s talk about compensation."

A bit further on the bus, the cultured middle-aged man, who had just finished saying, "A real man doesn’t suffer from immediate losses," witnessed this display, and suddenly, all the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

One of the couples, a stylish young woman, widened her eyes, "Are they filming a movie?"

She had never seen such a scene in real life.

The female guide looked at the several men lying on the ground, the corners of her eyes twitching.

She had swindled through several cities, never having seen someone so capable of fighting, was he even human?

She lost her previous arrogance, replaced by a flattering tone:

"Compensate, compensate, we will compensate you."

Jiang Ning asked Tongtong, raising his eyebrows specifically, "How much did we spend shopping just now?"

Catching the hint, Xue Yuantong blatantly lied, "We spent four thousand yuan."

As soon as she said this, the female guide screamed, "There was no four thousand!"

Jiang Ning’s expression darkened, weighing the wooden pole in his hand, "I say it’s four thousand."

Relying on having backup, Xue Yuantong said, "A tenfold compensation would be forty thousand yuan."

These villains had almost harmed Jiang Ning; she wasn’t about to go easy on them.

The female guide was going crazy, but faced with the seemingly affable opponent, she didn’t dare to utter a word of resistance and very reluctantly pulled out four bundles of cash.

Thus, the money they had swindled from customers almost completely compensated Jiang Ning.

She seemed scared, forcing a smile, "Today was our bad luck, let’s call it even, quickly get on the bus."

While she appeared so on the surface, the female guide was seething inside.

Given the desolate surroundings, not a village in sight ahead or behind, and despite the fallout, the other party had to ride their bus. She planned to notify people ahead to prepare a few things to serve him.

No matter how good you are at fighting, can you fight a musket?
