Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Street Fight

In Green River Town, the streets were bustling with an endless stream of pedestrians. Stalls and shops lined both sides of the road.

"Hot buns! Freshly baked hot buns! Just one copper coin each!"

"Top-grade rouge and powders! Affordable and effective! Sir, why not buy a box for your wife at home?"

"Candied haws! Candied haws! Just two copper coins a stick! Delicious candied haws!"

Waves of hawking cries rose and fell along the street, mixed with the sounds of haggling.

Ye Xing entered Green River Town with Tantai Mengxue, Xia Girl, and little Chunyu. Having been to Green River Town twice before, Ye Xing naturally knew where the Great River Gang’s headquarters was located.

As Ye Xing and the three women made their way toward the Great River Gang’s headquarters, a sudden commotion erupted behind them.

"Make way, make way!"

"Get out of the way! Don’t you bunch of peasants block our Young Master’s path!"

"Get lost, get lost!"

Fierce shouts rang out as the crowd behind them descended into chaos. Street vendors and pedestrians alike scattered to the sides in terror.

CLOP CLOP... A group of five men on sturdy horses came galloping down the street, charging recklessly through the lane.

Leading them was a man in brocade robes with a brutish, fleshy face, followed by four family servants who acted as guards. The group of five was arrogant and domineering, spurring their horses on wildly as if they owned the street.

The entire street erupted into chaos. Pedestrians scrambled to get away, some falling, others getting bruised. Fruits and food from vendor stalls scattered across the ground. The cries of children, the screams of women, and the wails of fallen elders blended into a messy cacophony.

The five men trampled forward on their steeds, rampaging without restraint.

’Who the hell are these guys, acting so damn arrogant!’ Ye Xing frowned, feeling deeply displeased.

"Ye Xing, let it go. We shouldn’t cause any trouble," Tantai Mengxue advised in a gentle voice.

"Alright! I’ll listen to my Wife Mengxue!" Ye Xing nodded with a chuckle, immediately taking Tantai Mengxue’s hand and moving to the side of the street.

The five horses galloped past Ye Xing, stirring up a gust of wind.

"CLOP, CLOP, CLOP!" "CLOP, CLOP, CLOP!" "NEIGH!"

After racing forward a short distance, the five horses suddenly came to a halt.

"Hmm? I think I just saw some beauties!" The man in brocade swiftly turned his horse around, his eyes scanning the pedestrians on the street.

"Young Master, look! Over there! Three gorgeous women!" one of the servants beside him said, his eyes sharp as he pointed toward the crowd.

"Wow! Beautiful! So beautiful! Such gorgeous women! When did Green River Town get such stunning beauties? Quick, quick, capture them and take them back to the manor!" The man in brocade’s eyes lit up, his fleshy face trembling with excitement. He led his four lackeys and quickly surrounded Ye Xing and his companions.

"Young Master, what about this man?" one of the lackeys asked, pointing at Ye Xing.

"Kill the man. Bring the three beauties back. They’re too beautiful! Even with a veil, she’s this stunning. I really want to take it off and see her face right now! Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at that figure... Perfect!" The man in brocade’s eyes gleamed as he lecherously scanned his gaze up and down Tantai Mengxue.

"How dare you! Do not be disrespectful to my lady!" little Chunyu’s almond-shaped eyes went wide as she shouted.

"Well now, even this Little Maid is bubbling with beauty. This Young Master has truly hit the jackpot today!" The man in brocade was ecstatic, reaching out to touch little Chunyu’s chin.

"You’re courting death!"

With a sharp cry, Xia Girl drew the Treasure Sword in her hand.

Just then, a lazy voice chimed in.

"Haha, Xia Girl, there’s no need for you to handle this. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be failing my duty as your Flower Protector?" Ye Xing chuckled, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

"CLANG!" With a clear, dragon-like cry, the Cyan Blade Treasure Sword flew from its sheath.

The Cyan Blade Sword was a Treasure Sword that could slice through iron like mud, worth a fortune and incomparably sharp. As Ye Xing struck, the sword’s shadow transformed into a streak of cyan light, fast as a gale, and slashed directly across the brocade-robed man’s wrist.

Before the man in brocade’s right hand could even touch little Chunyu’s chin, he saw a cyan streak of light rush toward him, followed by a sharp, intense pain in his wrist.

"AHH!"

A blood-curdling scream tore through the air above the street. The surrounding crowd turned to look, only to see a massive wound on the brocade-robed man’s right wrist. Blood gushed from it like a spring, spattering out and dripping all over the ground, staining it crimson.

"Look, Yu Dazhi is injured!"

"Serves him right! That damn bastard, he deserves to be hurt!"

"If that bastard Yu Dazhi could just be killed, my poor granddaughter could finally rest in peace."

"That young man in green dared to injure Yu Dazhi. He’s probably done for."

"The Yu Family is incredibly powerful. They practically rule half of Green River Town. I’m afraid that young man in green won’t be leaving Green River Town alive!"

The crowd on the street broke into a flurry of discussion, whispering amongst themselves. Some cursed, some were excited, and others simply shook their heads and sighed.

"Ah, my hand! Why can’t I feel my hand?!" The man in brocade clutched his right wrist with his left hand, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. His eyes were filled with terror, and his face was twisted in pain as he roared, "He severed my tendon! Kill him! Kill him for me!"

The man in brocade shrieked, his gaze fixed on Ye Xing with venomous hatred.

"CLANG!" "CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

The man in brocade’s four servants immediately drew their sabers and Treasure Swords, rushing toward Ye Xing with surging killing intent.

"Get lost!"

Ye Xing shouted coldly, channeling Wind Shadow Step as he flew up and kicked directly at the foremost guard.

"BANG!"

With a muffled grunt, the guard was sent flying backward like a broken sack, spitting blood. He flew more than ten steps before finally stopping and crashing hard onto the ground.

These servants were only at the Early Stage of the Martial Arts Third Realm in terms of Cultivation, whereas Ye Xing’s Cultivation was at the Late Stage of the Martial Arts Third Realm. Furthermore, he had cultivated several Earth-tier Techniques. How could this guard possibly be Ye Xing’s opponent? If Ye Xing wanted to kill him in an instant, it would be effortless.

Ye Xing sent the guard flying with a single kick. The power of that blow instantly terrified the other three servants. They all knew they were no match for Ye Xing; to attack would be suicide.

"Young Master, this kid’s Martial Arts are formidable! We can’t handle him!"

"This is a job for the Patriarch! Only he can kill him!"

The three servants quickly advised their master.

"Kid, you’re dead! I’ll make sure you die! You just wait and see!" The man in brocade shot Ye Xing one last venomous glare, then turned and fled.

His few remaining servants, looking as if they were facing a great enemy, retreated cautiously while keeping a wary eye on Ye Xing. Soon, they disappeared into the streets.
