Chapter 51: Can Genius Be Contagious? They’ve All Become Grandmasters?
“I’d like to see who dares!”
Just as Li Zhong’s men were about to make their move, Wang Fugui suddenly stepped out from behind Ye Fan.
A powerful aura surged wildly from his body, frightening several of the men at the front into stumbling backward several steps. The battle blades in their hands even slipped from their grasp and fell to the ground.
Clang!
The crisp sound immediately drew everyone’s attention toward Wang Fugui!
Several martial arts experts sensed the powerful aura radiating from Wang Fugui and cried out in shock.
“A Grandmaster-level expert? Wang Fugui actually broke through to the Grandmaster realm? Yun City has produced another monstrous genius!”
“Damn! Could genius really be contagious?”
“Exactly! Ye Fan was already a Grandmaster-level expert at fifteen, and now Wang Fugui, who follows him around, has also become a Grandmaster-level expert. That’s terrifying!”
The path of martial arts started with the Forceful Realm, followed by the Control Realm, then the Grandmaster Realm, Martial Venerable, Martial Emperor, and so on.
It might seem like there was only one realm between each stage, but in reality, the gap between every realm was an astronomical difference.
Although Li Zhong had prepared so many assassins, having Wang Fugui—a Grandmaster-level expert—present made all of it completely pointless.
With Wang Fugui alone, he could easily slaughter all the assassins Li Zhong had arranged.
“This…”
Li Zhong also sensed the change in Wang Fugui’s aura.
He had calculated almost everything.
The one thing he hadn't anticipated was that Wang Fugui would actually break through from the Control Realm to the Martial Arts Grandmaster level.
“Mr. Qin…”
Li Zhong looked somewhat helplessly at Qin Tao beside him.
Although Li Zhong was the main person executing this operation, he was merely the one standing at the forefront. The real person controlling everything from behind was Qin Tao, whom Liu Ran had sent.
“What are you afraid of? He’s only one person!”
Qin Tao quickly explained, “No matter how powerful he is, there’s only one of him. We have so many people. If we attack from several directions and capture Su Yixue, Ye Fan, or even just a few of the company bosses who want to cooperate with the Su family as hostages, Wang Fugui will have to think twice before acting. He won’t dare to move recklessly!”
After hearing Qin Tao’s explanation, Li Zhong regained his confidence.
“Young Master Wang! This is an issue between the Li family and the Su family. I advise you not to interfere. The power behind me is something you cannot afford to provoke!”
As Li Zhong spoke, blood continued to flow down from his head, covering his entire face and making him look extremely miserable.
“Hmph! Su Yixue is my sister-in-law. Anything involving the Su family is my business!”
Wang Fugui showed no intention of backing down.
“Anyone who dares lay a finger on the Su family today is making an enemy of my Wang family!”
He stared coldly at Li Zhong.
“Li Zhong, withdraw your men now and you still have a chance. Otherwise, you'll learn exactly what it means to wish you were dead!”
Before Wang Fugui could finish speaking, Guo Li suddenly interrupted him.
“That’s enough! Enough! You’ve already said everything you needed to say. Now it’s my turn!”
Boom!
Guo Li charged forward without the slightest hesitation and threw a punch toward several assassins in front of him.
The powerful force behind the punch exploded outward, instantly sending several assassins flying more than ten meters before they crashed to the ground.
They lay there motionless.
“Oh, sorry! I’m a Grandmaster-level expert now too!”
Guo Li arrogantly waved his fist around.
“If any of you aren’t convinced, come and try my fists… My fists are already itching for a fight!”
He then proudly glanced at Wang Fugui.
“How about it, Old Wang? Didn’t expect this, did you? I was originally planning to show off in front of you. I just didn't expect you, you big oaf, to break through too. Sigh!”
Hiss!
Another Grandmaster-level expert?
Ye Fan’s two loyal bodyguards had both broken through in such a short period of time?
Everyone at the scene was completely stunned. They couldn't help sucking in a cold breath.
It was confirmed!
Genius really was contagious!
Otherwise, how could Guo Li and Wang Fugui have broken through in such a short period of time?
With two Grandmaster-level experts holding down the fort, Qin Tao’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
If there had only been one Grandmaster-level expert present, they could still have looked for openings and launched surprise attacks.
But with two Grandmasters guarding the place, they had practically no chance at all.
Even with the threat of the archers, Grandmaster-level experts could already form protective qi and create a barrier, easily blocking the arrows and crossbow bolts before they could reach them.
Qin Tao looked around the scene, then glanced toward the entrance.
He was already planning to escape.
Given the current situation, staying here would simply mean continuing to throw his life away.
“None of you move! Put down your weapons obediently… I’ve had enough of you!”
Just as Qin Tao and Li Zhong were still hesitating, another sharp female voice suddenly rang out from outside the crowd.
Yu Linglong appeared with a large group of young men dressed in camouflage uniforms.
There were several hundred of them.
Compared to the number of people Li Zhong had arranged, they basically outnumbered them two to one!
Two camouflage-clad men stood behind every archer, their gleaming daggers pointed directly at the archers’ hearts.
The archers, who had been overflowing with murderous intent moments earlier, instantly lost all their confidence.
They could only obediently lower their bows and arrows.
The other assassins arranged by Li Zhong had no choice either.
Under the overwhelming pressure of absolute authority, every single one of them was captured.
A life-and-death crisis had been resolved just like that.
The entire thing happened so quickly that all the company bosses and potential business partners present hadn't even realized what was happening before the whole disturbance was already over.
“Master Li, let’s find somewhere to have a little talk.”
Xia Hao walked over from the side of the stage with Li Hu.
Several of Li Hu’s men surrounded Li Zhong from both sides.
Li Zhong and Qin Tao’s faces instantly turned deathly pale.
“You…”
They watched as the captured assassins were escorted away.
When the last assassin finally disappeared from sight, Li Zhong was completely devastated.
How could Li Zhong feel so utterly aggrieved?
Today was clearly supposed to be his stage.
He was supposed to crush the Su family, humiliate them completely, and then take them down.
But now, somehow, he had suddenly become the one being counterattacked.
It felt like everything had been a trap.
As if someone had stuffed him into a sack and tied it shut.
Yu Linglong was also a Grandmaster-level expert!
With three Grandmaster-level experts guarding the Su family, Li Zhong and Qin Tao had still dared to come looking for trouble.
Wasn't that simply courting death?
What Li Zhong and Qin Tao didn't know was that, aside from the three Grandmaster-level experts, Ye Fan himself was already at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm.
Even if Li Zhong and Qin Tao had brought ten Grandmasters with them today, they still wouldn't have had a good ending.
Yu Linglong, Xia Hao, Li Hu, and the others took Li Zhong and Qin Tao away.
Everyone present was left sighing in astonishment.
After such a fierce confrontation, the Li family had completely fallen out with the Su family.
There was no way the Li family would have a good ending now…
The Li family could practically be declared finished!
Not long ago, the Zhao family had opposed Ye Fan and was subsequently destroyed.
Now the Li family had opposed the Su family, and they too seemed unable to escape the same fate.
Some of the smarter people had already noticed something unusual.
Although the Ye family had suffered a devastating blow, it seemed that the family was still far from easy to deal with.
That qilin son of the Ye family…
Was he really an idiot?
Or was he merely pretending to be one?
