Chapter 587: It’s your people from the Southeast Five Provinces who acted!
Silence descended. No one dared to answer.
"Hah, it seems the Commander of the Divine Machine Camp is nothing special after all!" Patriarch Shen sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "Master Qiu’s reputation makes cowards of all who hear it. He wouldn’t dare come!"
"You’re wrong, Dad," Shen Lian said, shaking his head smugly. "That man is no longer the commander. He’s been relieved of his duties."
"Oh?" Patriarch Shen’s eyes lit up. "Haha, so that’s how it is. In that case, he’s truly doomed!"
"Not only has my master arrived, but there are also so many Grandmasters present. He’s probably scared witless and hiding somewhere," Shen Lian said, puffed up with arrogance. "If he really dares to show up, I’ll slap him to death with a single palm!"
When Qiu Yi was treating his injuries earlier, he had also taken the opportunity to clear his meridians, making him even stronger.
"Who did you say you were going to slap to death?"
Just then, Lin Mu arrived, with Kong Ying unable to hold him back.
Seeing Lin Mu, a cold gleam flashed in Shen Lian’s eyes. "You actually dare to come? You’re really courting death!"
SLAP!
Without another word, Lin Mu slapped him across the face, and Shen Lian’s cheek immediately began to swell.
"You dare to hit me?" Shen Lian bellowed, clutching his face. "Are you trying to get yourself killed? You’re alone, and there are four Grandmasters here! You’re dead for sure today!"
SLAP!
Lin Mu slapped him again without the slightest hesitation.
"You really think you’re someone special just because you found a Grandmaster for a master?" Lin Mu sneered coldly. "Forget slapping you. What if I killed you instead?"
Just as Lin Mu was about to strike, Patriarch Shen roared, "You little beast, how dare you—"
SLAP!
A backhanded slap from Lin Mu cut him off, sending Patriarch Shen flying.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Who is this guy? So ferocious! It was one thing to slap Shen Lian, but he even dared to strike Patriarch Shen? Doesn’t he know that Grandmaster Qiu Yi is right here?
"You little beast... Good, very good!" Patriarch Shen’s face was twisted with rage as he stared fiercely at Lin Mu. "I swear, I will see you dead today!"
"Noisy." Lin Mu’s gaze turned cold, and he prepared to strike again.
"Stop!"
Huang Ning appeared once more. With a frosty expression, she addressed Lin Mu, "Lin Mu, you’re too arrogant. Who do you think you are?"
"Get out!" Lin Mu rebuked, his expression utterly cold.
"What?" Huang Ning was stunned. Lin Mu actually told her to get out? Thinking back to what had happened at Tiger’s Lair Mountain, to everything Lin Mu had done to her, she could no longer control herself. She screamed with murderous intent, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"
"Men, hack this little beast into a thousand pieces!" Patriarch Huang roared, pointing a finger at Lin Mu with a murderous aura.
"Who dares lay a hand on my man!"
At that moment, an exceptionally cold voice rang out, and a group of people rushed in. The leader was a tall, stunningly beautiful woman.
Qin Luoli! She was actually in Suzhou!
Not only that, but behind her were figures like Shi Potian and Cheng Bugui.
"Who said Teacher Lin is alone?"
Even men from the Divine Machine Camp had arrived, along with Kong Lin, numerous heavyweights from Jiangling, and the entire Divine Machine Camp. This scene left everyone in shock. While they didn’t recognize most of the newcomers, they certainly recognized figures of Xie Dingtian and Kong Lin’s caliber.
"Kid, were you comparing numbers earlier?" Xie Dingtian grabbed Shen Lian by the collar, the flat of his steel blade slapping against Shen Lian’s cheek. "So, tell me. Are these enough people for you?"
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
In the next moment, a thousand men in black suits and sunglasses appeared. Each held a blade, their cold steel glinting. Even if Shen Lian was a true Martial Artist, he couldn’t possibly handle so many opponents.
"Hehe, how could we, the Five Dragons and Six Phoenixes of Jiangbei, miss out on such a fun event?" A seductive voice that sent tingles down the spine announced the arrival of Hua Meiniang, Long Ao, and the others. They, too, had brought over a thousand people.
This spectacle was enough to intimidate everyone from the Southeast Five Provinces. Anyone from the underworld had heard of these people, especially a provincial powerhouse like Xie Dingtian. As for Kong Lin, his mere presence represented the entire Southeast Military Region.
"What are you all doing here?" This time, even Lin Mu was stunned.
Good heavens. They’ve brought my entire power base from Handong Province here.
Qin Luoli shot Lin Mu an exasperated look. "If Xiao Tian hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have even known you’d gotten yourself into trouble again."
Lin Mu fell silent.
Well, I’m being lectured by my wife. But why does it make me so happy?
Qin Luoli turned to Huang Ning, exuding a queenly aura. "What did you just say to my man?" A captivating smile bloomed on her gorgeous face. "You want to kill him? Were those your words?"
Huang Ning’s face turned pale.
"Insolence!" Patriarch Huang stepped forward and yelled coldly, "What do you think this place is? This is the Southeast Five Provinces, not your Handong!"
"The Southeast Five Provinces is exactly who I’m here to mess with!" Qin Luoli declared with stunning arrogance. "Chop off his hand!"
"You dare point a finger at my man? You must be tired of living!"
At Qin Luoli’s command, Cheng Bugui immediately stepped forward. With a flash of his steel blade, Patriarch Huang’s hand fell to the ground.
Chopped off? He really chopped it off!
HISS!
Everyone gasped in shock.
Who is this woman? How can she be so audacious? To go against the entire Southeast Five Provinces... all for one man?
"Damn, Instructor Lin’s wife is a badass!"
"No kidding. Why else do you think Instructor Lin is so overbearing?"
"Go on."
"It’s all because his wife taught him well."
Cheng Bugui did not sheathe his blade. Instead, he said respectfully, "Mistress, he said he wanted to hack the Venerable Master to pieces. I..."
"What? Do I need to teach you what to do?" Qin Luoli’s beautiful eyes narrowed fiercely.
Cheng Bugui understood immediately.
A few minutes later, Patriarch Huang was nothing but a heap of minced flesh. Not just chopped, but minced.
At this moment, even the men of the Divine Machine Camp dared not speak.
This woman... she’s terrifying!
...
"The Southeast Five Provinces is exactly who I’m here to mess with!"
That one line instantly made Qin Luoli the most dazzling presence in the room. All eyes were on her. This woman. Beautiful. Exquisite. A remarkable temperament. An overwhelming aura. No one seemed to dare meet her alluring gaze, yet she gave off an incredibly ruthless vibe.
"And you," Qin Luoli said, looking at Huang Ning with a smile, a rare hint of killing intent in her eyes. "Do you have anything else to say?"
"I..." URRGH!
Seeing Patriarch Huang reduced to a pile of meat was more than Huang Ning could handle. She promptly threw up.
Qin Luoli scoffed contemptuously, then glanced at Qiu Yi on the stage. "Are you the one who wants to challenge my man?"
"And who do you think you are?" she sneered. "The man who belongs to me, Qin Luoli—do you think you’re worthy of challenging him?"
Holy shit! She’s directly confronting a Grandmaster? How can this woman be so domineering? Does she have any idea what the title ’Martial Arts Grandmaster’ even means?
Qiu Yi’s expression turned icy.
A woman... daring to point her finger and curse at him in public? This was an absolute, unforgivable humiliation!
