Chapter 85: Teaching Some People Manners

“It’s been a while, Mr. Lu!” Lin Sheng went up to Lu Xuan’s side right away and greeted him respectfully.

“Yeah.” Lu Xuan nodded and took a look at Lin Sheng, saying, “You’ve achieved good progress in your cultivation. Put more effort into it, and you’ll be a Martial Arts Legend soon enough!”

Lin Sheng was overjoyed when he heard Lu Xuan say that. He probably would not have bothered if it was someone else, so much so that he would not have even batted an eye. However, things were different since it was Lu Xuan who said those words.

Lu Xuan was a true, formidable Martial Arts Legend, after all.

As such, his words naturally held weight like none other.

“Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lu!” Lin Sheng thanked him fervently.

Yun Sheng then went up to Lu Xuan and said, “Mr. Lu, these are the ones who will be participating in this operation. I’m sure you already know of those from the Seven Invincible Sect and the Chen Clan. Here are the masters of the Dharma Hall of the Southern Shaolin Temple, and here is the head of the Dharma Hall, Master Buyi.

Lu Xuan was immediately surprised when he took a look at the middle-aged monk who was the leader of the monks. The monk was, too, a Martial Arts Legend.

The Southern Shaolin Temple was indeed filled with powerful people. The head of the Dharma Hall was actually at Level Six, with training on par with that of a Martial Arts Legend.

It was no surprise why the Shaolin Temple had been able to stay neutral and untouched while the Chen Clan bickered with the Seven Invincible Sect throughout the years. Having a formidable fighter at the Martial Arts Legend level taking care of the place meant that either side would not dare to act against the temple.

Furthermore, there was no certainty saying that there was only one Martial Arts Legend found in the temple.

“Namo Amitabha. Well met, Benefactor Lu,” Monk Buyi then said.

“Here is the head of the Coalition of the Woods of the Southern Min province—Yang Chengsi—and the rest of the heroes!” Yun Sheng introduced Lu Xuan to the man with the goatee.

However, he seemed rather reluctant to do so.

Lu Xuan realized right away that the man named Yang Chengsi was apparently not a decent person. However, given how urgent the situation was, Yun Sheng had to reluctantly enlist top-notch fighters from underworld gangs just to prevent the Heirloom Seal of the Realm from falling into foreign lands.

While those people were indeed gangsters who had been against the government authorities all the time, they dared not act against the Special Task Force.

That was because the government had to look for decent excuses to get rid of them while the Special Task Force only needed to write a report about it if they intended to get rid of or even kill those gangsters on the spot.

Lu Xuan saw killing intent on all of them, and that apparently told him that those were not good people.

“I’m curious as to where your home territory is?” Yang Chengsi asked right away.

Lu Xuan then said plainly, “Anywhere that is nowhere near you people.”

A cold glint was seen in Yang Chengsi’s eyes.

However, Lu Xuan slapped the man right away before he could retaliate.

Bam!

Yang Chengsi was sent flying from the strike.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events, not knowing what had taken place to warrant Lu Xuan’s actions.

“I’ll tell you one more thing. Look at me with those kind of eyes again, and I’ll make sure you suffer a horrible death,” Lu Xuan added plainly.

“Beware of where you stand before you even think about sneaking up on me.”

Yang Chengsi was still dazed from the slap. He totally did not expect Lu Xuan to have seen through his intention to retaliate or the action he was about to take, leaving Lu Xuan to slap him without any hesitation.

He quickly came to his senses and shouted, “You dare hit me!”

Although he was wary of the Special Task Force, even the boss of the provincial branch had to behave politely around him nonetheless.

That was because since he became the head of the Coalition of the Woods, becoming a gangster boss. No one dared to be rude towards him, and slapping him across the face was totally out of the question.

Not only was he of esteemed status, but he was also at a frightening level of cultivation, being at least more or less on par with that head monk of the Dharma Hall.

He, too, was a Level Six Martial Arts Legend.

Yang Chengsi immediately pounced at Lu Xuan after recovering.

There was no doubt just how terrifying Martial Arts Legends could be when they were fighting at full strength. A single punch could even cause sonic booms.

Boom!

That punch was very loaded.

The head monk, Buyi, of the Dharma Hall standing at the side almost emerged to stop him, but he quickly saw that those from the Chen Clan and the Seven Invincible Sect and even those from the Special Task Force had no intention of doing anything. As such, he stopped what he intended to do right away.

He felt really puzzled, wondering if Lu Xuan was actually that powerful.

Lu Xuan retaliated with an even simpler move—another slap at his incoming assailant.

Bam!

A crisp clapping sound was heard. Yang Chengsi’s punch missed its mark, yet he was again sent flying by Lu Xuan’s slap.

“A Martial Arts Legend. He, too, is a Martial Arts Legend!”

Monk Buyi’s eyes glittered right away. He seemed to have understood why none of the others were fazed by what was happening.

Everything would have made sense if that young man were a Martial Arts Legend. There were few such people to be had in the entire province, after all, and every single one of them would have been a notable figure or leaders of sorts.

It was no surprise why the people of the Seven Invincible Sect and the Chen Clan behaved so respectfully towards Lu Xuan.

However, he was still puzzled about that Mr. Lu’s background. The young man looked to be in his late teens, yet the combat prowess he exhibited shocked even the head monk.

He wondered if the Southern Shaolin Temple had been keeping to themselves for too long to know of new formidable figures emerging in the province.

Those powerful gangsters who followed Yang Chengsi’s lead had initially intended to fight Lu Xuan.

However, when they saw their boss get slapped twice across the face by Lu Xuan, all of them were stunned. To put it precisely, they were terrified to the core.

As the head of the coalition, Yang Chengsi, apparently, did not amass his followers through virtue. He had dominated those people through sheer brute force.

Gangs went up against him, and he, in turn, defeated all of the best fighters the gangs produced, eventually making him the head of the coalition.

In their minds, Yang Chengsi’s fighting prowess had been godlike, yet one such revered figure was sent flying through the air without a care right before their eyes. Anyone with any sense at all would not have dared to step up then.

“Do anything funny again, and I’ll render you a cripple right here, right now!”

Lu Xuan shot a cold glare at Yang Chengsi. He had no affinity for gangsters, to begin with, and the thickness of Yang Chengsi’s killing intent was anything but ordinary. He had committed many crimes and killed scores of people, after all.

Lu Xuan had only spared him due to Yun Sheng being around.

Yang Chengsi finally realized what kind of power he was going up against after being sent flying back with just two slaps. He had learned just how terrifying Lu Xuan was. Even if Lu Xuan was, too, a Martial Arts Legend, he would definitely be way above Yang Chengsi in terms of fighting prowess.

“Sure, sure,” Yang Chengsi said right away. He no longer dared to look at Lu Xuan with menacing eyes anymore. He was taught a lesson like that because he scowled at Lu Xuan, after all.

He did not even have any doubts about getting killed outright if he were to dare look at Lu Xuan with such eyes again.

He had truly bitten off more than he was able to chew at that time.

Yun Sheng looked rather pleased with what just happened. As a former military officer, he had no affinity for underworld figures like Yang Chengsi. He only tolerated the man’s presence due to Yang Chengsi being more than he was able to handle.

Still, it was nonetheless cathartic to see Yang Chengsi get beaten like a dog.
