Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Today, I Will Slaughter 1 Blind, Vicious Dog

The Gao Residence.

In the grand hall, several men sat, each with a distinguished and imposing bearing. At the head of the group sat a middle-aged man in a long robe. His face was fleshy and coarse, and his small eyes glinted with a cold, sinister light whenever they opened and closed.

Gao Wei, Patriarch of the Gao family—the most prominent family in Nanjun.

At that moment, a bald man set down his teacup. Frowning, he said, "Patriarch Gao, the Xiaao family, the Ling family, and the Tang family of Nanjun have all been wiped out one after another. Although the news has been tightly suppressed, it’s obvious someone is planning to make a big move!"

The bald man had barely finished speaking when a young man in white clothes next to him curled his lip and said, "You call those prominent families? Even if you combined all three of them, they still wouldn’t compare to my Gao family!

Just because someone dared to touch them doesn’t mean they’d dare to touch my Gao family. Besides, you all know who backs my Gao family. I’ll make this clear right now: if anyone dares to make a move on the Gao family, I’ll chop off whatever hand they reach out with. Go on, try me if you don’t believe it!"

Gao Wei’s son, the young master of the Gao family, Gao Ao.

Everyone nodded hurriedly. At this, Gao Wei set down his teacup and said nonchalantly, "Why are we wasting time on such meaningless topics? Let’s talk business.

Gentlemen, I’ve already explained the stakes to you all. I’m about to make a move on the Cyan Cloud Group. I’m sure you all understand the benefits of taking them down. Now is your chance to act. Remember, an opportunity like this won’t come again!"

The men exchanged glances. Finally, the bald man looked at Gao Wei, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Patriarch Gao, the Cyan Cloud Group is the number one conglomerate in the Great Xia! If we can’t take them down, she’ll definitely wipe us out!"

The other men nodded in agreement.

"Can’t take her down?" Gao Wei chuckled. "What if I told you that in this move against the Cyan Cloud Group, I am merely the public face of the operation, and the true mastermind is the entity behind me?"

"The Martial Arts Association!" The bald man and the others’ eyes lit up instantly.

Gao Wei sneered and nodded. "The Cyan Cloud Group was behind the destruction of those families. And those major families all held shares in the Martial Arts Association. This time, the Cyan Cloud Group has messed with their bread and butter!

So this time, that entity behind me flew into a thundering rage and is determined to take down the Cyan Cloud Group. Tell me, do you think the Cyan Cloud Group can possibly survive?"

The bald man’s eyes widened at this. "If that entity makes a move, the Cyan Cloud Group won’t be able to make any waves at all. I’m in on this operation. I’m willing to put up two hundred million."

The others immediately chimed in, "I’ll put up two hundred million."

"I’ll put up three hundred million."

"I’m all in! I’ll liquidate all my assets—I’ll put up four hundred million!"

...

A sinister smile spread across Gao Wei’s face.

But just then, two guards scrambled into the hall, shouting frantically, "Patriarch, something terrible has happened..."

Before they could finish, Gao Wei’s brow furrowed.

Gao Ao glared at the two guards and roared, "How many times have I told you to remain calm when things happen? Don’t you ever learn?"

Terrified, the two guards quickly lowered their heads and didn’t dare speak another word.

Gao Ao took a sip of tea from his cup before saying, "Alright, speak. What is it?"

One of the guards, a tall man, took a deep breath and managed to compose himself enough to say, "Duan Peng... Master Duan Liu... has surrounded the Gao Residence with a large group of men. He said... he said he’s going to wipe out the Gao family today and not spare a single person..."

"PFFT..." Gao Ao spat out a mouthful of tea. He shot to his feet, slapped the guard across the face, and roared furiously, "Why didn’t you say something so important sooner?"

The tall guard cursed inwardly: ’Motherfucker, which one of you animals told me to be calm just now?’

But there was nothing he could do; he was powerless against him.

Gao Ao let out another dry laugh. "Every stray cat and dog thinks they can come cause trouble at the Gao family’s doorstep. They must have a death wish."

Turning to Gao Wei, who was still calmly sipping his tea, he said arrogantly, "Dad, you all carry on. Leave this piece of trash to me. I’ll say it right now: by tomorrow, Nanjun will have a new underground emperor."

With that, he turned and strode outside. At the doorway, he bellowed, "Where are the Gao family guardians?"

"Here!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

Gao Ao announced imperiously, "Follow me. Today, I’m going to slaughter a blind, vicious dog."

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

Voices responded from outside.

Gao Ao left the room, and his footsteps soon faded into the distance.

Gao Wei smiled at the bald man and the others. "Gentlemen, please, drink your tea. There’s no need to let something like this spoil our mood!"

The bald man thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You’re right. Before Patriarch Gao, Duan Peng can’t possibly make any waves. Come, come, let’s continue with our tea!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

Gao Ao, leading a group of men, had reached the entrance of the Gao Residence. Seeing Duan Peng standing there smoking a cigarette, Gao Ao sneered:

"You think you can cause trouble for my Gao family? Duan Ergouzi, do you really think that just because a few people show you some respect and call you Master Liu, you’ve forgotten your place and have the right to stir up trouble at my door? You’re not worthy!

Then, looking at a middle-aged man beside him dressed like an old farmer, he said through gritted teeth, "Uncle Wu, go over there and chop his head off for me."

The old farmer grunted in acknowledgment and advanced on Duan Peng, dragging a hoe behind him.

Gao Ao looked at Duan Peng and sneered, "Do you know who this is? Let me introduce you. This is my Uncle Wu, Wu Feng. Do you know his cultivation level? I’ll tell you—Tier Six Martial Venerable.

Ever heard of the Living Yama? That’s my Uncle Wu. Do you know how he got that title? Let me tell you, it’s because once he starts killing, he can’t stop. And today, you all delivered yourselves to our doorstep. It’s the perfect chance for my Uncle Wu to enjoy the thrill of the slaughter.

You were screaming about wiping out my Gao family? Excellent. Today, let’s see who wipes out whom! Uncle Wu, kill them for me! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The moment his words fell, a figure shot forward from behind Duan Peng. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Wu Feng and viciously slapped him across the face.

A loud CRACK echoed as Wu Feng let out a bloodcurdling scream, but the sound was cut short abruptly.

Gao Ao, watching from behind, saw Wu Feng’s head spin several times from the force of the blow. His body went limp and crumpled to the ground. After a few twitches, he was completely still.

The newcomer then said calmly, "If you’re going to fight, then fight. All that talking... weren’t you just asking to die?"

Gao Ao’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Wu Feng was the great guardian of the Gao family, a Tier Six Martial Venerable, a man who could do as he pleased throughout Nanjun. And yet, before this newcomer, he hadn’t even had the chance to raise a hand before being slapped to death. How was this possible?

He stared at the newcomer and screamed in terror, "You... who are you?"

Before his voice faded, a calm voice answered from behind him: "Guardian Zheng Yuan of the Dragon King Pavilion."

As the voice spoke, a tall, elderly man walked forward.

Seeing this newcomer, the color drained from Gao Ao’s face. A moment later, he couldn’t help but let out a scream.
