norted.One can't help but notice that those around Ling Shuai seem to mirror him perfectly, just as the saying goes: "You are known by the company you keep."Live and let live, if you disagree, just do..."As for what's going on between Lao Di Cao and you all, I have a general understanding. Let me offer some advice," Yuan Xiong continued.

"I asked Brother Cao to take out five million yuan for the two of you to have some tea, and this matter would be dropped. What do you think, brothers"

"Well, well, if my calculations are correct, he probably swallowed over ten billion yuan just from that one district," Ling Hao said as he raised his teacup and took a sip.

"And now you want him to come up with five million just to sweep this under the rug What do you think I'd say to that"

"Brother, when you're out in the world, it's best to be harmonious!" A trace of anger began to appear on Yuan Xiong's face. He had already lowered his stance enough, but Ling Hao seemed unwilling to relent.

Even a mud man has three points of fire, let alone someone who has been in a position of power for a long time!

"Alright, I don't have time to waste talking with you!" Ling Hao said coldly.

"This matter, no matter who speaks, it won't work. If he doesn't come back to the neighborhood tomorrow to pay his debts, his company can just shut down!"

If you're going to handle this, get your people moving. Once it's done, I need to go back to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow to spend time with my daughter!

"Well!" Yuan Xiong's patience had run out, a chill emanating from him.

Although Ling Hao and the other person made him feel a little apprehensive, it didn't mean he was going to keep swallowing his anger!

No matter what, he's the king of Dongzhou's underworld. How could he tolerate two unknown kids acting so recklessly

"Well then, let me see what you've got!" Yuan Xiong finished his words and turned to look at the wiry old man behind him: "Lao Ying, it's up to you!"

"Hm!" The lean old man nodded and walked out, a glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at Ling Hao and the other.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two should both be martial artists, right"

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Hou Ying. May I ask for your esteemed names"

"Not bad!" Ling Hao glanced at the other person and said calmly, "Half a foot into the War Master level of cultivation, this Dongzhou should be considered number one!"

Those who are considered martial arts practitioners are naturally not ordinary people!

Martial cultivation begins at the lowest level, a warrior. Above warriors are fighters, above fighters are battle masters, and above battle masters are generals, gods of war...

Martial arts have no end, only higher, not highest!

And each realm is further divided into five levels: initial attainment, minor attainment, major attainment, peak, and complete.

In the eyes of ordinary people, even those who practice some martial arts are at most just beginning their journey as warriors, and common thugs naturally don't even qualify as warriors.

Ling Hao just said that the elder was half a foot into the warrior level, meaning that the other party's cultivation level was the strength of a full warrior realm.

This did surprise Ling Hao slightly.

"Hmm!" Hou Ying didn't expect Ling Hao to see through his cultivation level at a glance. His eyes narrowed slightly.

“Although your cultivation is decent for ordinary people, it’s still too weak. You better think carefully about whether you want to make a move” Ling Hao continued, speaking in a calm tone.

Damn it!

Hearing Ling Hao's words, Yuan Xiong's group of bodyguards all stared at him with the expression of looking at an idiot.

They were well aware of Lao Ying's skills. While they wouldn't say he was unbeatable in all of Dongzhou, he definitely ranked among the top three.

None of the so-called gold medal fighters in the underworld could withstand even one move against him!

And now, a young man under thirty says that Elder Eagle is too weak. How ignorant and fearless!

"It's rare to meet a fellow practitioner, why not spar and learn from each other!" The elder took a deep breath and his eyes narrowed: "Please enlighten me!"

Phew! Phew! Phew!

As soon as the words left his mouth, a pair of hands, shaped like eagles' claws, drew several afterimages in the air before swiftly charging towards Ling Hao.

"Don't you have a little self-awareness Why wouldn't you believe that you're too weak" Before Ling Hao could move, Lu Yu calmly finished speaking and casually swept out a gust of wind with his hand.

A seemingly random palm strike, yet it contained ferocious energy. It surged towards the elder like a hurricane, accompanied by a piercing whistle of wind.

"Hm!" Lu Yue's aura fluctuated, and the elder's pupils shrank to needlepoints.

Only then did he realize the kind of person he had gotten involved with. It was ironic that he had even considered sparring with such an opponent.

He wanted to dodge, but the gap in their cultivation was like a chasm, he didn't even have the possibility of dodging!

Bang!

A dull thud echoed through the air, and Hou Ying flew backward like a kite with its string cut. He traveled over ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground, his mouth spewing a mouthful of blood.

And this, it is clear, was already the result of Lu Yue showing mercy. Otherwise, he would have been a corpse long ago!

Silence!

The scene fell silent instantly, not a single sound could be heard.

The world's number one master of the Eastern Continent underground world, was actually casually swept away by a single palm from his opponent!

Who could believe this if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes!

"You... you're already a war general" The old man lying on the ground was filled with astonishment, his heart already in turmoil!

He never thought in his lifetime he would be able to see a legendary warrior-level expert, and now he died without regret!

"War general-level Hmph..." Lu Yue shrugged and ignored the other person.

As the King of the West, if he were just a general, he would have been laughed at long ago!

"Master Eight, your men seem to be no match. Should you call for reinforcements" At this moment, Ling Hao glanced at Yuan Xiong with a faint smile.

Whew!

Yuan Xiong let out a long, heavy sigh, his face turning ashen with displeasure.

"Brother, in this Dongzhou, fists don't represent everything. If you guys really want to go all the way, I, Yuan Xiong, am not as weak as you imagine... "

"Yuan Xiong, you're really looking for death!" Just then, a voice interrupted him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Meanwhile, the group of thugs who were originally standing at the door, not understanding what was happening, flew into the hall one by one. After crashing to the ground, their heads tilted back, they fainted directly.

In a short while, Shen Le and the elderly man surnamed Tang hurried over.

"Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen!" Seeing Shen Le, both Yan Xiong and Cao Dong exclaimed in surprise.

As prominent figures in Dongzhou City, they naturally knew Shen Le and recognized him as a revered idol they looked up to.

Especially Yuan Xiong, even before Shen Le came to Dongzhou a year ago, he had wanted to give Shen Le a warning, but later he was held at knifepoint by Shen Le's men.

At that time, if nobody had spoken up for Yuan Xiong, he would have been finished.

After that incident, he sent people to investigate Shen Le's background. When all the information was gathered in his hands, he felt that he could still be alive, it must have been the blessings accumulated from his past life!

Don't even say that this is only within Dongzhou, even looking at the entire territory, Shen Le's background is a well-known existence!

With Shen Le's energy, killing Yuan Xiong would be no different than crushing an ant.

From that point on, he completely submitted to Shen Le. Over the past year, he had helped Shen Le with several things, and through those efforts, he had managed to earn Shen Le's recognition.

"Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen, do you know them" Yuan Xiong took a deep breath and quickly walked up to them.! Next time, I definitely have to treat him to a good meal!""He should be coming to Jiang Hai in a few days!" He said, raising his teacup and taking a sip."Really That's great!" Qin Yuxin said with a...
