Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Room for Maneuver?

Seeing Zhou Yu approaching, Qu Hao’s face instantly turned pale with fright.

"You... what are you trying to do?"

"Stop him!!!"

The ten or so martial artists under Qu Hao, after witnessing Zhou Yu effortlessly defeat Shi Duanlong and Guan Bingyan earlier, were now trembling with fear. None of them dared step up to stop him.

The three mid-Holy Realm elders who had attacked Zhou Yu earlier weren’t injured at the time but now had no choice but to brace themselves and step forward.

Standing before the three elders, Zhou Yu’s gaze was cold and indifferent:

"What now?"

"Do you really think you can stop me?"

"Or do you think I won’t strike against you?"

At this moment, the three elders inwardly cursed their misfortune, but there was no way out. After all, they were members of the Qu Family.

One of the elders, steeling himself, stepped forward and said:

"Young friend, Qu Hao is, after all, a member of the Qu Family. Are you really going to escalate things to an irreparable level?"

"Why not let this matter end here?"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly at his words.

"I already gave him a chance. When I left at noon, it should have ended there. But what happened?"

"He couldn’t let it go and sought revenge."

"Now I’ve incapacitated two of your people. Do you think this Qu Hao will let it end here?"

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, the three elders’ faces darkened considerably.

They knew full well that things had reached this point, and Qu Hao would never let it slide.

But no matter what, for now, they had to stop this young man.

The elder forced a smile onto his face.

"Young friend, earlier, Young Master Qu was unaware of your strength. As the saying goes, ’A fight leads to newfound respect.’ Your prowess has already earned our respect, and Young Master Qu wishes to turn hostility into friendship."

"Young Master Qu, don’t you agree with me?"

The elder turned to Qu Hao, giving him a meaningful look.

Though blatantly reluctant, Qu Hao had no choice but to bow his head at this moment.

Suppressing his rage, Qu Hao said:

"Indeed, your strength has exceeded my expectations."

"Let’s put an end to this matter here."

"We’ll leave now."

Upon hearing this, Qu Hao’s subordinates quickly wheeled him around, preparing to retreat.

However, a chilling voice echoed.

"Did I say you could leave?"

The moment those words fell, a terrifying aura descended, forcing the dozen or so lackeys around Qu Hao to cough up blood and be thrown backward.

In the next instant, Zhou Yu’s figure appeared right in front of Qu Hao.

The speed was so fast that the three elders couldn’t react in time.

Of course, it was also possible that they deliberately reacted a split-second slower.

Staring at Zhou Yu before him, Qu Hao’s expression drastically changed.

"Zhou, I already said we’ll end this. What else do you want?"

"Let me warn you—don’t think this is the full strength of the Qu Family. The real power of my Qu Family hasn’t been revealed yet!"

Faced with Qu Hao’s threat, Zhou Yu sneered coldly:

"Oh, I’m well aware."

"That’s precisely why I’m giving you the chance to show the true power of the Qu Family."

With that, Zhou Yu raised his foot and kicked Qu Hao square in the chest.

"Ah—"

Qu Hao let out a blood-curdling scream as both he and his wheelchair were sent tumbling to the ground, howling in pain.

"Stop!"

The three elders roared urgently but didn’t dare take action.

Zhou Yu sneered, unhurriedly approaching Qu Hao. Then he lifted his foot and stomped down on Qu Hao’s arm.

Crack!

"Ahhh—"

Qu Hao’s arm was instantly broken beneath the force.

Clutching his fractured arm, he writhed on the ground, wailing in agony.

Zhou Yu then lifted his gaze to the three elders.

"Go back and inform the Qu Family that Qu Hao is with me. If they want him to live, they better bring me something that satisfies me."

"Now, get lost!"

At this moment, Zhou Yu stood with his foot on Qu Hao, his eyes radiating a piercing chill.

His overpowering aura left everyone around him frozen in place.

For how many years had no one in Kun City dared challenge the Qu Family like this?

The governor wouldn’t dare, and neither would the head of the Martial Pavilion.

Yet today, a young man under thirty had done it.

How incredible was that?

The three elders were also overwhelmed by Zhou Yu’s overwhelming presence, like the weight of Taishan itself.

Exchanging glances, the three silently acknowledged each other’s thoughts.

Under the current circumstances, the three of them wouldn’t stand a chance against Zhou Yu. Forcing the issue would only add three more corpses to the count.

Besides, they had no intention of risking their lives for some spoiled, arrogant brat.

"Fine, we... we’ll immediately report this to the Qu Family."

With those words, the three cautiously skirted around Zhou Yu and dashed away.

Zhou Yu’s gaze then landed on Jia Bin, whose face was ashen with terror.

"Captain Jia?"

Jia Bin, trembling in fear, nearly collapsed upon hearing Zhou Yu call him.

"Mr... Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Yu said indifferently:

"Prepare another private room for me."

"When the Qu Family people arrive, bring them straight to me."

Jia Bin immediately stammered in a shaky voice:

"Y-Yes, I’ll arrange it right away."

"This way, please."

Without another word, Zhou Yu hoisted Qu Hao, striding forward.

Xing Nong and Jiang Lai followed closely behind.

Shortly after settling into a new private room, Xing Nong spoke anxiously:

"Mr. Zhou, are you really planning to fight the Qu Family to the death?"

"If things could’ve been resolved earlier, maybe there would still be room for negotiation..."

Zhou Yu chuckled lightly:

"Mr. Xing, do you mean to say there’s no room for negotiation anymore?"

Xing Nong was at a loss for words.

Given the state Qu Hao was left in, how could there possibly still be room for negotiation?

"I’m afraid it’s unlikely..."

Zhou Yu gave a soft laugh.

"I don’t think so."

Xing Nong froze and quickly asked:

"Mr. Zhou, does this mean you have another plan?"

Zhou Yu smirked.

"Precisely."

Seeing Zhou Yu’s confidence, even Qu Hao, lying painfully on the ground, perked up his ears.

From Li Changming, Qu Hao knew Zhou Yu had connections in the Capital City. Could it be that this guy was about to leverage his influence from there?

If that were the case, the torment and humiliation he had suffered might end up being in vain.

Xing Nong eagerly pressed on:

"Mr. Zhou, what’s your plan?"
