Chapter 28 Shocking - s
When Wu Tian and the little one spoke, everyone was stunned.
Behind Broadsword Liu Wu, his underlings thought to themselves, Has this man gone mad? They looked at the little one in Wu Tian’s arms with pity. Such an adorable baby, being led around by a lunatic. She’ll surely be corrupted. Seeing Gugu, they couldn’t help but feel a pang of compassion, deciding they would plead with their boss to show the child mercy later.
Just how formidable is an Innate expert? Liang Qingren gazed at Wu Tian, her curiosity growing.
At this moment, Chen Cheng and his people, who hadn’t gone far, also heard Wu Tian’s voice from the private room behind them. A smile curled on Chen Cheng’s lips. He’s a goner. It looks like he won’t be coming to work tomorrow.
With that, Chen Cheng departed with his employees.
Inside the private room, Xiao Liang was still observing.
"Hahaha!" Broadsword Liu Wu burst into laughter, his tone turning cold. "It’s been a long time since someone told me to get lost."
"Kid, if I don’t kill you today, I won’t be able to quell the rage in my heart," he said, pointing his broadsword at Wu Tian and enunciating every word.
A smile remained on Wu Tian’s lips as he regarded Broadsword Liu Wu as if he were a clown.
"Ah Gou, finish him for me," Broadsword Liu Wu barked at a gaunt young man behind him. "Didn’t you say you were bullied at school and wanted to be my underling? Then go kill him for me."
"This..." The gaunt young man named Ah Gou, who indeed looked like a student, had never expected his first outing with Broadsword Liu Wu to end up like this. He usually gets bullied precisely because he doesn’t like to fight. And now he’s being asked to kill someone on his first mission?
"Go on, or I’ll slaughter you," Broadsword Liu Wu bellowed when he saw Ah Gou hesitate.
Only then did Ah Gou step forward. He bowed to Wu Tian and said, "I’m... I’m sorry."
Then, Ah Gou charged at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian chuckled, finding the young man interesting, but stepped forward to meet him. With Ah Gou blocking the view, Liu Wu and the others couldn’t see what Wu Tian did.
In the next instant, Ah Gou had already collapsed.
Only Xiao Liang and Liang Qingren had seen it clearly.
Acupoint striking! That’s something you only see in TV dramas! How can it really exist? Xiao Liang and Liang Qingren were astounded.
"Ah Gou, you useless trash!" Broadsword Liu Wu roared. "It seems I’ll have to take action personally."
He tightly gripped the large broadsword in his hand, and the bones in his arm cracked and popped.
"The boss is finally drawing his sword."
"I heard he learned this sword technique on Qingcheng Mountain."
"Yeah."
"It’s an honor to die by the boss’s sword."
"But can that guy who’s courting death at least put down the little cutie in his arms?"
"Boss, when you strike, can you please spare the little one?"
All of Liu Wu’s underlings thought Wu Tian was a dead man, but they were all concerned for Gugu’s safety.
Liu Wu took a closer look and saw that the little one in Wu Tian’s arms was indeed as lovable as a doll. Even an executioner like him felt a twinge of reluctance to harm her.
"Don’t worry, boys. I can’t bear to hurt such an adorable child either. After I kill him, we’ll take her back and I’ll raise her as my adopted daughter."
As his voice fell, Broadsword Liu Wu finally struck. The single slash cut through the air, creating the piercing shriek of Breaking the Void. There was no doubt that anyone struck by this blade would die instantly.
Liang Qingren couldn’t help but cry out, "Dodge!"
Xiao Liang also added, "Don’t be reckless!"
"Crawl-crawl, I want to see you catch the blade with your bare hands!" the little one in Wu Tian’s arms squealed, squirming her small, plump body with delight.
"..."
Everyone was left dumbfounded by the little one. Little girl, do you have any idea how much danger your Crawl-crawl is in?
Yet at this moment, Wu Tian actually smiled at the child in his arms. "Alright, Crawl-crawl will do it for you."
Has he lost his mind? everyone thought.
Only Xiao Liang watched the scene with intense focus.
Wu Tian held Gugu with his right arm while gently reaching out with his left hand.
CLANG!
He had astonishingly caught Liu Wu’s broadsword with just the five fingers of his left hand.
Everyone’s expression changed drastically, especially Broadsword Liu Wu’s. A blow from his sword could gash a solid wall, yet it had been caught single-handedly by this seemingly frail man.
Liu Wu wondered if he was dreaming. Have I not woken up yet? Otherwise, how could something like this possibly happen to me?
He tried to pull his broadsword back but found he couldn’t. Even when he used every ounce of his strength, the weapon remained completely motionless in Wu Tian’s grasp.
How is this possible? It can’t be! This is impossible! Liu Wu’s mind was in turmoil, as if battered by stormy seas.
"Yay, yay! Amazing!" Gugu clapped her hands in Wu Tian’s arms.
"You know, you’re nothing but a clown," Wu Tian said with a smile. He suddenly kicked out with his right foot. The move was so incredibly fast that no one could see it clearly before he sent Liu Wu flying.
Under the crowd’s incredulous stares, Liu Wu smashed into the wall, his entire body becoming embedded within it.
This is the kind of scene you only see in movies, right?
Terrified, Broadsword Liu Wu’s underlings began to tremble.
Wei Chunli was even more stunned. She finally understood why this man dared to be so arrogant in the company and hit her sister in public. So this guy can really fight.
But at this moment, Wei Chunli was blinded by hatred.
"Get him! All of you, attack him! There are so many of us, you’re telling me we can’t take down one man?" Wei Chunli shrieked.
The underlings hesitated, but they still aimed their machetes at Wu Tian. Should we all rush him together? Can so many of us really take on one man? But what if we can’t beat him?
"Enough!" Xiao Liang shouted. "Wei Chunli, Broadsword Liu Wu, are you going to commit murder right in front of me?"
"Who are you?" Wei Chunli yelled. "Dare to interfere with my business? I’ll take care of you, too!"
"Is that so?" Xiao Liang took off his flat cap and glasses.
At that moment, Liu Wu had just been pulled out of the wall by his underlings. When he saw Xiao Liang’s face, his own turned pale and he broke into a cold sweat. He hastily pushed his men aside and hurried over. "Elder Xiao, what brings you here?"
The Underworld could only exist due to the maneuvering of those in power. Although the bosses of the Underworld acted recklessly, they had to be certain of who they could and could not afford to offend. Without a doubt, Xiao Liang was someone Broadsword Liu Wu wouldn’t dare to cross, not even if he had the courage of ten leopards.
Xiao Liang sneered, "Because you’ve offended my distinguished guest."
"What? Your distinguished guest? Him?" Liu Wu glanced at Wu Tian in disbelief. This guy? His clothes aren’t even worth five hundred yuan. How could he be Xiao Liang’s distinguished guest?
Xiao Liang walked over to Wu Tian and apologized, "My apologies. I should have stepped forward sooner."
Hearing that tone, Liu Wu immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He knew he was in deep trouble.
"May I ask, how would you like to deal with him?" Xiao Liang asked Wu Tian.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They never expected that Xiao Liang, a man powerful enough to be Summoning Wind and Rain in Southern Province, would pose such a question to an unknown nobody.
Who on earth is this man?
Broadsword Liu Wu, meanwhile, could only wonder what fate was in store for him.
