Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 234: Angry but Silent

Lu Yan’s face, initially anxious, gradually turned into one of sheer terror.

He felt his fist force as if it were sinking into an endless swamp; no matter how fast he punched, he was merely drawing circles in place, unable to break through the net Xu Xiangbei had set up, unable to escape the infinite swamp.

He had received a text from his younger brother, harshly scolding him for lacking the courage to act.

Now he understood his brother’s feelings; it was akin to a ravenous wolf encountering a mangy dog, intending to bully it, but upon seeing its sharp teeth, realizing it was a mane-less lion, not just a mangy dog.

Bang, his fist collided with Xu Xiangbei’s, a duel of two forces of True Power, unleashing a colossal burst of strength around them.

Lu Yan felt intense pain in his left hand, cried out miserably, clutching his hand, his body trembling as he knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead.

All five fingers were broken, unclear how many fractures there were, the pain so excruciating he almost passed out.

The chaotic Qi Force startled the two observing strongmen, causing their cigarettes to fall to the ground, both revealing looks of astonishment, never having felt such power, their hearts filled with unease.

They quickly supported Boss Lu, who was almost collapsing: "Boss, what’s wrong."

"My hand’s broken."

"You brat, dared to break our boss’s hand..."

Bang, the large man who cursed at Xu Xiangbei flew out like a stone, spewing a line of blood in the air with some teeth stained yellow from cigarette tar.

The other man froze at first, then revealed deep terror in his eyes, clamping his mouth shut, fearful of angering Xu Xiangbei further.

He ignored Lu Yan, who was about to collapse, and his fallen companion, secretly retreating: "I just came to watch the fun, sorry, I must get back to my act."

Xu Xiangbei gestured as if holding a cigarette, the burly man understanding immediately, hurriedly pulling out a pack of red Soft Chinese cigarettes respectfully handing it over.

"Wow, such nice cigarettes, you live quite comfortably."

The big guy tactfully lit the cigarette for Xu Xiangbei, then stuffed the almost full pack of cigarettes into Xu Xiangbei’s hand: "Big brother, take them all. I’m just an extra, smoking good cigarettes just for appearances."

Suddenly, a flash of silver streaked past, Xu Xiangbei swiftly retreated, and the arm of the man handing him cigarettes was slashed with a bleeding wound, the bone stark white visible.

"Gutless, flattering the enemy, coward."

Though Lu Yan’s left hand was useless with broken fingers and couldn’t punch, he pulled out a Silver Snake Soft Sword from his belt with his right hand.

The silver soft sword, two fingers wide, over a meter long including the hilt, shimmered with silver light, with its tip painted red.

Buzzing, Lu Yan flicked his wrist, and the silver soft sword followed an S-shaped pattern, striking, the crimson tip akin to the venomous tongue of a snake, arousing dread.

The big guy, clutching his wounded arm, ran while crying and covering the wound with his clothes.

Although Xu Xiangbei loathed the injured big guy, he sympathized with his unfortunate choice of friends: "You’re too vicious, he was just handing me a cigarette, you almost cut off his hand."

Lu Yan’s eyes were venomous, not only was his sword like a viper, but he himself seemed like a deadly cobra.

"Enough talk, kid, even if my hand is broken, don’t think you can defeat me with my Silver Snake Sword."

Xu Xiangbei gently sidestepped, evading the swift strike, but since it was a soft sword, the blade suddenly bent around, the tip like a bone-attached spike coming at him.

Xu Xiangbei hastily did a backflip, the sword tip barely brushing past his nose, narrowly avoiding the second strike.

Lu Yan’s eyes almost spat fire, Xu Xiangbei was too cunning, too fast, why couldn’t he land a hit.

Lu Yan endured the pain from his fractured left hand, wielding the Silver Snake Soft Sword like a real snake, bending, darting, flicking, stabbing, catching Xu Xiangbei off guard.

After yet another attack missed, seeing Xu Xiangbei dodging awkwardly, barely steadying himself, Lu Yan’s face flashed with an evil grin, the Silver Snake Sword suddenly flying from his hand.

The Silver Snake Soft Sword buzzed in the air like a venomous snake darting up, viciously stabbing Xu Xiangbei’s wrist.

Lu Yan laughed with joy, his eyes filled with rage: "You broke one of my hands, I injured your hand too, trying to take advantage of me, Lu Yan, I won’t allow it."

However, his Silver Snake Soft Sword did not pierce Xu Xiangbei’s wrist, instead, it fell with a crisp clink like a dead snake at his feet.

Lu Yan’s eyes suddenly widened, seeing a flash in Xu Xiangbei’s hand.

Xu Xiangbei held a gleaming Iron Gall in his palm, a keen flash, and the Iron Gall heavily struck Lu Yan’s wrist, a crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.

Lu Yan screamed heart-wrenchingly once more, more devastating than when his left hand fingers were broken, his right wrist got shattered, revealing red and white bone through the skin.

Detesting Lu Yan’s villainy, the Silver Snake Sword’s viciousness, Xu Xiangbei did not hold back in this strike, ensuring Lu Yan could never wield the Silver Snake Sword again.

At this moment, a group of guards armed with rubber batons surrounded them aggressively, Xu Xiangbei looked at the pockmarked face guard, wondering if more trouble was coming.

Though these people were not his match, defeating them all might affect Gu Xinyan’s audition.

Yet, the pockmarked guard, upon seeing Xu Xiangbei, did not take up arms, but instead bowed and scraped: "Doctor Xu, thank you for helping us catch the vile man who harmed Dongfang Bai, thank you."

"What, aren’t you here to arrest me?"

The pockmarked guard smiled ingratiatingly: "Of course not, we’re here to capture Lu Yan, he severed Dongfang Bai’s wire rigging and injured a temporary actor with a knife, our boss was furious and ordered us to catch him."

The guards, previously intimidated by Lu Yan’s prowess, were surprised to find him with both hands broken by Xu Xiangbei.

Their manner changed from servile fear toward him to merciless fervor, beating Lu Yan with rubber batons, bloodying and dazing him, then swarming him and dragging him to the police station.

Xu Xiangbei shook his head, these guards lacked compassion, even with Lu Yan’s hand broken like that, they couldn’t resist beating him.

In fact, Xu Xiangbei did not know that Lu Yan was a bully in this area, having tormented these guards who feared his skill, daring not to resent, harboring silent anger.

Now that Lu Yan was a fallen foe, everyone wanted a turn to vent their pent-up rancor.
