Chapter 2299 - 2299 2289 Crush to Pieces

2299: Chapter 2289: Crush to Pieces 2299: Chapter 2289: Crush to Pieces Liu Fugui burst into laughter after hearing Long Yan’s words, believing he was someone who dared to compete with Jiuge Chamber of Commerce for business.

“Such a fantasy.”

With just a snort, Liu Fugui flicked his sleeve, waiting to see how Long Yan would develop, his mind began to calculate how to exploit even more benefits from the villagers of Shadow Mountain, meanwhile, he also pricked up his ears to the methods mentioned by Long Yan.

“Young man, can you really find a way?”

Though not hopeful, the elder still asked, given that Long Yan appeared very young, and there’s a deeply ingrained notion that a youth without a mustache can’t handle matters reliably.

“Of course, this type of Green Pine Bamboo that you produce is a commonly used material among cultivators.”

Long Yan’s eyes briefly drifted to Liu Fugui, who had turned his head away; one could see his body subtly trembling, but he was just biding his time, listening to Long Yan continue.

“But…”

The elder still had doubts, as they were not cultivators themselves and didn’t understand the value of this thing; if the Commercial Association that Long Yan found offered an even lower price than the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce, it wouldn’t be of much use to the villagers of Shadow Mountain.

“I want to know what price the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce is offering you?”

“Nine Mysterious Lingdan.”

There was a hint of impatience in the elder’s tone, a faint hope for the young man before him rising in his heart.

Long Yan’s smile emerged upon hearing the price, although his unshaven face of several days made the expression a bit sleazy.

“Nine Mysterious Lingdan…”

Long Yan hadn’t finished speaking when Liu Fugui’s voice interrupted him.

As the Young Master of the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce, he certainly knew what the price of Green Pine Bamboo should be— a piece of suitably sized Green Pine Bamboo could even be sold for dozens of Mysterious Lingdan.

Long Yan really hadn’t expected Jiuge Chamber of Commerce to be so exploitative.

Liu Fugui, seeing that Long Yan was about to reveal the true price, hastily interrupted Long Yan’s words.

If he allowed him to continue, a major source of income for Jiuge Chamber of Commerce would be destroyed by his hands.

“Who is this person talking nonsense here, Li Qing, go teach him a lesson.”

Liu Fugui frantically signaled his subordinates with his eyes, wanting their strength to shut Long Yan up.

The two bodyguards, who had always followed Liu Fugui and were used to throwing their weight around, both stepped forward in unison, covering Long Yan with the momentum of a God King ninth stage, trying to intimidate Long Yan into backing down.

Although Li Qing and the other man couldn’t be considered Strong Ones in the Sacred Continent, they had no problem bullying ordinary people, and they were accustomed to flaunting their power around Liu Fugui.

But today they were quite surprised; their momentum had no effect on Long Yan, who acted as if unaffected and simply walked over to kneel beside the Maiden.

“Wuu wuu…”

The Maiden was still crying over her father; Long Yan gently patted her small head, and a stream of True Qi entered the middle-aged man’s body, clearing his blocked meridians and soothing his injured body.

“Big Brother.”

The Maiden didn’t understand what Long Yan was doing, but her intuition told her that his actions were saving her father.

The black True Qi continuously alleviated the injuries, and soon, Long Yan’s forehead was covered with sweat.

Healing is hard work, but the life of the middle-aged man was no longer in danger; he just needed to rest in bed for some time.

Long Yan softly said to the Maiden.

“Tell me, what kind of price do you want those three men to pay?”

Long Yan, without looking at the three who were red-faced with anger, quietly asked the Maiden.

“Kid, you’re being reckless!”

“Hmph, truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth.”

Facing the threats of the three, Long Yan seemed as if he had not heard them, merely watching the maiden quietly, and after seeing the gaze flickering with hatred in her eyes, he nodded slightly as if he understood something.

“Then I’ll help you.”

With just a slight movement of his right leg, Long Yan had already appeared in front of Li Qing and his companion.

“You dare?

I am the Young Master of the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce; how could you dare to do this to me?”

At this moment, Liu Fugui was both shocked and enraged; accustomed to the reverence from others by virtue of his status as the Young Master of the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce, Long Yan actually intended to lay hands on him for the sake of a mountain village civilian.

Without responding to Liu Fugui’s words, Li Qing and his companion gathered their True Qi in their fists and smashed ferociously at Long Yan, who simply blocked their fists with one hand each and smiled faintly.

“During the time you bullied these villagers, did you ever think that such an instant would come?”

Without waiting for Liu Fugui’s reply, Long Yan exerted force with his palms, and a sound of bone-crushing rang out in the air.

Accompanied by the cries of pain from Li Qing and his companion, their fists were forcibly crushed by Long Yan.

Seeing Long Yan crush the fists of two men while smiling, Liu Fugui, who had never witnessed such a scene, collapsed on the ground, shaking with fear.

“No, don’t kill me, I can give you money.”

For a while, snot and tears flowed as his previous arrogant and overbearing demeanor completely disappeared; he now resembled a pitiful wretch.

“I won’t kill you, but your hands will be my price.”

Long Yan curved his lips into a cold smile, and a hint of chill flickered across his eyes.

Upon hearing Long Yan stating he wouldn’t be killed, Liu Fugui was quite relieved at first, but when Long Yan mentioned disabling his arms, fear made Liu Fugui shudder even more.

“You dare, I am the Young Master of the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce.

If you hurt me, the Jiuge Chamber of Commerce won’t let you off.”

Watching Long Yan advance step by step, Liu Fugui, terrified, moved back two steps.

His fear of the smiling young man in front of him deepened.

Stepping on Liu Fugui’s arm, Long Yan had not a shred of pity for such people and directly crushed Liu Fugui’s arm into pieces.

As Long Yan’s figure became akin to a demon in Liu Fugui’s eyes, with no hesitation, Long Yan crushed his other arm as well, taking the Jade Pendant in his hand without a second glance at Liu Fugui, who lay wailing on the ground, and walked straight to the maiden’s side.

Placing the Jade Pendant in the maiden’s hand, the villagers, who had originally been fearful of Long Yan upon witnessing such a terrifying scene, started to relax seeing his gentle demeanor towards the maiden.

“Thank you.”

The maiden, looking sincerely at the profile of Long Yan’s face, said as he wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Long Yan, with a smile, responded,

“Don’t worry about your father; he’s not in serious trouble.

He just needs to rest in bed for some time.”

“Mhm.”

The maiden looked at Long Yan gratefully.

Without saying much else, he then approached the old man standing nearby, who based on the previous conversation with Liu Fugui, seemed to be the spokesperson for the whole village.

“Elder, I will go find a reliable buyer for you.”
