NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56: The Chen family
"Ptui! So what if I raise my voice at your Young master? O should tolerate an ignorant worm that hasn't seen the viscosity of life talk to me as he pleases?!" The soldier spat and retorted.
The people in purple robes were visibly enraged and they all pulled out their weapons.
"How dare you? Our master brought fifty family guards of our Chen family to come to support the town chief in fighting the beasts. How dare you not show respect to the young master of the Chen family when you're just an ordinary soldier?"
One of the men in purple robes hissed.
The faces of the soldiers and the surrounding people immediately changed at the words of the man.
The Chen family!
Oh no, the Chen family was one of the biggest families in the Broken Sword Town and their estate is located in the center of the town where the trouble had not spread to. They had hundreds of private fighters who listened to their family head, the master of the Chen family; offending a person from the Chen family was like challenging a small village of fighters.
It was even rumored that the family head recently started to hire rogue martial artists into their family at a very high price!
The face of the soldier who had been exchanging words with the people from the Chen family immediately pale, his fat face turning white as a ghost.
All of them lowered their heads in nervousness.
"I failed to recognize Mount Tai; please forgive my rudeness," the soldier gritted his teeth and quickly said. He was afraid that the town chief might abandon him if the Chen family reported that they had a problem with him.
After all, this was a martial arts world, and the strongest were more valued. The town chief would obviously pick the powerful Chen family that could provide assistance over a single soldier like him, he wasn't even a martial artist!
The young man in an expensive robe smiled arrogantly at the sight of this, his chin raised up and his pride swelled.
"Hmph! Give yourself five heavy slaps, and I'll forget everything unless I report this to my father!" He demanded while looking at the fat soldier with cold eyes.
'How ruthless!' Leon thought to himself from the side; he looked at the soldier who gritted his teeth until the fats on his face trembled, and he slowly raised her hand.
Pah!
Pah!
Pah!
…
Five loud slapping sounds rang out as the big palm of the soldier landed on his chubby face five times, the force of the slaps was so strong that a bright red palm print was left on his face after he was done.
"Good, now scram!"
The young man snorted in satisfaction before saying impatiently.
The soldiers and people who were eating hurriedly gathered their things and rushed out, they didn't forget to lower their heads when they passed by the young man.
Leon sighed before standing up; he wasn't leaving because of the people from the Chen family, as he was already having thoughts of leaving before they came.
'Having a strong backing really is useful in a martial arts world; there's no true justice; only the strongest fist and sharpest swords are right,' he thought to himself as he walked toward the door.
"Hey, you, hold it right there!" A voice suddenly rang in Leon's ears.
He raised his gaze and saw the young master of the Chen family looking at him from the entrance; he was looking at the sword in Leon's hand, to be precise.
"What is it?" Leon asked with a frown on his face; he smelled trouble, so his tone wasn't polite.
The young man ignored Leon's words and pointed at the white sword in his hand.
"I like that sword, leave it behind and scram!" He ordered as if he was talking to a servant.
Leon's eyes twitched violently and veins popped on his face.
He was simply minding his business, yet this brat wanted to rob him. Did he have any idea how much Leon spent to get this sword?!
"I can't leave my sword behind, get out of my way" Leon's voice was strong. These people in front of him were ordinary people, he could easily deal with all of them as a martial artist.
The face of the young man twisted in anger at Leon's stubbornness; the men in purple robes also showed vicious expressions.
"Are you intending to offend the Chen family?" One of them threatened.
"So what if I offend the Chen family? I'm from the Falcon sect; do you want to offend the Falcon sect?" Leon barked back, not hesitating to use his identity to threaten them. After all, they liked doing it, so he shouldn't be modest.
The people from the Chen family froze for a moment before suddenly letting out a burst of laughter, all of them laughed while pointing at Leon as if he had told the funniest joke they had heard in their lives.
It took a while for them to calm down.
"You're a Falcon sect disciple? Then you must be a woman disguised as a man? Don't tell me you don't know that the falcon sect only accepts female disciples" one of the men said while still laughing.
Leon's expression didn't change; he realized that these people didn't know about the change yet; it couldn't be helped since he hadn't been accepted into the sect for long, and even the soldiers were unaware of this.
"I don't care if you believe me or not; get out of my way, or I'll kill you!" Leon stated and drew his sword.
Shing!
The sword was pulled out from its scabbard and the blade let out a metallic shine, the tail of the dragon carving was like a golden waterfall painting, beautiful and domineering.
"Hmph! You claim to be a martial artist, why don't you prove it then?!" One of the men behind the young man snorted and dashed toward Leon with a three-ringed saber.
"Please, don't fight here! You'll destroy the place!"
A pleading voice cried out from the side, Leon looked over and saw that it was the young boy who had served him.
'We will really end up destroying the place if we fight here, better take it outside,' Leon thought before looking at the man who was running toward him; he raised his hand and said.
"Wait, let's take this elsewhere and not ruin other people's business"
But the man didn't listen and continued to charge at him.
" Shut up, you're just looking for an excuse to escape; die!"
He reached Leon and immediately swung his saber at Leon's waist.
Leon's face twitched. To him, the movements of the man were unbearably slow.
'You won't listen, so be it then!'
Leon moved, he stepped back and dodged the saber before stepping forward again and swinging his hand.
Pah!
A heavy slap landed on the man's face, his feet immediately left the ground and he was blown away with force and crashed into a table, destroying it instantly.
He lay on the rubbles of the table as his mouth foamed with a white substance; he had passed out.
