Chapter 926 943: Begging for a Beating
While they were discussing the matter, a report came from the little brother at the entrance; Lin Mu and Huo Yanggen had just arrived at this very moment!Hu Jianchun naturally knew the purpose of Lin Mu and Huo Yanggen's visit, so the three quickly made a bold decision: first negotiate with Lin Mu, and if their conditions weren't met, then take out Lin Mu at the Yong Chun Boxing School. After all, it was just the two of them who had come, without any subordinates.
As it was a special time, Chen Qinghai and Lu Yifeng brought many people whenever they went out. Along with the entire force of the Yong Chun Boxing School, they believed dealing with just Lin Mu and Huo Yanggen would not be a problem!
"Brother Chen, Brother Lu, bring your men out!" Hu Jianchun called out with his hands clasped behind him.
Amid his words, a clamor of footsteps was heard from outside, and a burly fellow and another scrawny fellow walked in, followed by a group of black-clad sect disciples. Most of these men had muscular builds and were very rugged, but the most imposing was the leading guy who stood over two meters tall, like a Da Shan!
Huo Yanggen glanced at the group in front of him, recognizing them naturally. The brawny one was Sect Leader Chen Qinghai of the Bronze Sect, and the scrawny man was Lu Yifeng, the owner of the Jianghu Gangs Juyi Hall. The crowd behind them comprised members of both the Bronze Sect and Lu Yifeng's crew, with the majority belonging to the Yong Chun Boxing School, numbering over fifty in total!
"Haha, Chen Qinghai, Lu Yifeng?" Huo Yanggen laughed, seemingly understanding the situation, then turned to Hu Jianchun, "Sect Leader Hu, so you were prepared all along."
Hu Jianchun, with his hands behind him and face indifferent, replied, "That's right, we were forced into this. Since we're bound to be wiped out sooner or later, why not strike first before you do? We won't just sit around and wait for you to slaughter us one by one."
"Hu Jianchun, do you know the consequences of your actions?" Huo Yanggen's face darkened, surprised by Hu Jianchun's audacity to ally with Chen and Lu to take him and Lin Mu down.
"Consequences? We've considered them long ago, which is to wait for you to lift your butcher's knife and wipe us out one by one! But we're not that stupid. Since you're strong, we choose to strike first! Haha, to be honest, even if you hadn't come today, we would've sent people to deal with you tonight. Though you have the numbers, we aren't scared of you!" Hu Jianchun glared at Lin Mu and Huo Yanggen as he spoke.
Lin Mu looked around at the crowd, smiling broadly as he pulled out a cigarette, "Hehe, Sect Leader Hu, with just this bunch, you want to finish us off?"
"Lin Mu, we know you're formidable, but don't think you'll leave here today!" Hu Jianchun said coldly.
"Heh, alright, then I'll make sure you'll regret what you're doing, and you'll find no cure for that regret!" Lin Mu exhaled a puff of smoke contentedly.
"Oh, really? Then I shall see for myself, experience Boss Lin's skills!" Hu Jianchun sneered, then commanded the men in the hall, "Attack together, anyone who can take down Lin Mu will be rewarded one million!"
The disciples at the hall's entrance were thrilled upon hearing this, one million! Such a number was beyond their wildest dreams, so they were all eager to go, almost biting off Lin Mu's head!
"Brothers, this goes for the Bronze Sect too; whoever takes down Lin Mu, we'll reward one million!" The rough-voiced Chen Qinghai also roared.
"The same for Juyi Hall, whoever takes down Lin Mu, a million as well, irrespective of whether you're from the Bronze Sect or Yong Chun Boxing School, anyone who does it will get a million." The scrawny Lu Yifeng added.
The disciples buzzed with excitement; three million in total, a number astronomical to them, not even considering what their ancestors combined could earn!
Now, the disciples of all three sects were fired up; people die for wealth as birds die for food, and with enough money, even ghosts will push the millstone. For those three million, they'd risk their lives to take Lin Mu down!
"Go, finish him off!"
Someone shouted among the crowd, and in unison, a group of disciples in the hall surged forward. These men were different from the street thugs; trained in martial arts, they were more adept fighters, skilled brawlers rather than mere hooligans.
Seeing the men charging, Lin Mu remained still while beside him, Huo Yanggen sprang into action. Huo Yanggen leaped forward, positioning himself in front of Lin Mu, becoming both Lin Mu's shield and the group's target. Naturally, the men's focus shifted to Huo Yanggen.
The outcome was predictable, Huo Yanggen, after all, was the leader of the first major sect in Wancheng, the Heaven and Earth Society. Lin Mu had encountered him before and knew his immense strength. Within seconds, cries of pain began to echo throughout.
Before Huo Yanggen, burly figures flew away one after another, his attacks crisp and decisive. Punches flattened one, kicks sent pairs flying; nobody could approach him. Behind them, a few unlucky types were also sent flying, reducing the once 50-plus strong group to just over twenty.
Some of the thinner ones were even worse off, punched out of the hall beyond sight. The three gang leaders were almost hysterical, their disciples utterly battered by Huo Yanggen; it was a massacre!
"Damn, finish him!"
The three leaders shouted to rally their spirits; though hesitant before, the men charged again. But with such a disparity in strength, courage wasn't enough; simply shouting slogans wouldn't suffice unless they knew the Lion Roar Technique.
The outcome of the charging men was predictable, pure defeat. Huo Yanggen resembled a sturdy wall, blocking those who came at him, defeating them with ease. Besides him, Lin Mu leisurely exhaled streams of smoke.
Certainly, if Huo Yanggen couldn't handle these few men, he'd be unfit as the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society. In the blink of an eye, those who charged fell once more, cries of pain filling the air.
