Revenge doesn’t wait overnight

Long Chen was familiar with that voice, very familiar—so familiar that it filled him with a chilling intent to kill. Long Chen's sudden abnormality immediately put everyone on alert.

"Brother Long, what's wrong?" Fatty Yu asked. Seeing the murderous look in Long Chen's eyes, he sobered up halfway instantly.

"It's nothing. A while later, when that person comes up, just disgust him to death for me. Consider it an extra performance to celebrate for Shi Feng," Long Chen said.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Long Chen was planning to stir up trouble. The effects of the alcohol surged within them. Now that they had almost all received support from their families to try and get on good terms with Long Chen, how could they let such a good opportunity pass?

"Brother Long, just watch us," Skinny Monkey said, patting his chest in assurance.

At this moment, footsteps approached. A man who looked to be in his twenties, wearing a strange hat and sporting a pair of downward-sloping eyebrows, came into view.

Long Chen did not turn around and also told A Man not to turn around; the two of them were positioned with their backs to the man.

After the man came up, he was followed by a man with a bitter expression, who looked like the manager of this restaurant.

"Make them all get lost, otherwise bear the consequences yourself," the man said with an arrogant expression, not even glancing at Long Chen and the others.

Clearly, his intention was for the manager to drive them away, as if doing it himself would lower his status.

"Oh my, did you guys see that? Someone has a 'willy' growing on their head," Skinny Monkey whispered to Fatty Yu.

Although he said it quietly, the volume was not low, and it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Long Chen smiled slightly. That man was wearing a hat with a long protrusion in the front. He hadn't noticed it before, but after Skinny Monkey mentioned it, it really—did look like one.

"Tch, what's the big deal? It must be that his father did too many bad things and was cursed," Fatty Yu said, glancing at the man and looking at Skinny Monkey with disdain.

"How so?" Skinny Monkey asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You're really stupid. Haven't you heard people curse like this: 'I curse you to have a son with a willy growing on his head'?"

"Oh, brother, your insight is brilliant. I have learned something today," Skinny Monkey said with an expression of admiration.

The manager who had followed him up turned pale with fright upon seeing everyone mocking the man, and he hurriedly tried to signal Shi Feng.

Unfortunately, Shi Feng, who originally had some acquaintance with the manager, ignored him as if he hadn't seen anything.

The man with the downward-sloping eyebrows suddenly turned cold, looking icily at Fatty Yu: "Dead fat pig, are you looking for death?"

Fatty Yu shook his head and said: "Brother, look at that bitter melon face of yours. Even if I couldn't tell fortunes, I'd know that either your father or your mother has died. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to come here to eat and drink at a time like this?"

"Exactly, that is just too unfilial."

"A son like that would have been better off being smeared on the wall back then."

"Stop talking. Don't you see he's already shaking? If you keep going and he has an epileptic seizure and starts foaming at the mouth, how are we supposed to drink?"

The power of the collective is truly great. Everyone had seen Fatty Yu and Skinny Monkey singing along, and they hadn't been able to get a word in. Now that they had finally found an opportunity, they had to contribute their own bit of strength.

"Looking for death!"

The man shouted sharply, and a long whip appeared in his hand. A fierce wind whistled, carrying a chilling killing intent as it smashed down towards the crowd, actually covering everyone within the range of that one whip.

Shi Feng had been prepared for a long time. Seeing the man strike, he, who had already been waiting for the moment, swiped at his waist and slashed out with his saber.

"Bang!"

The saber and the soft whip collided, emitting an explosive sound. Shi Feng suddenly felt a great force come through, and his entire body was sent flying, crashing directly into a pillar, shaking the entire restaurant.

A flush appeared on Shi Feng's face; that was a sign of internal organ damage and blood rushing up. He had actually been injured in a single move.

"Go to hell, lowly commoner!"

After the strike, the long whip, like a poisonous Dragon, instantly became straight, resembling a sharp sword, heading straight for Shi Feng's heart.

This move shocked everyone. They hadn't expected that man to be so ruthless; this was clearly intended to kill Shi Feng.

The long whip came too fast; it was too late for Shi Feng to dodge. Just when he thought he was going to die.

"Clap!"

A large hand tightly grabbed the long whip, just like someone pinching the seven-inch vital spot of a poisonous snake, rendering it unable to move.

"Brother Long!"

A cheer erupted from the crowd. Long Chen was standing in front of Shi Feng, one hand tightly gripping the long whip, looking like an emperor among men, gazing coldly at the man.

"It's you?"

The man with the downward-sloping eyebrows couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Long Chen.

"Very good, you still remember me."

A cold sneer appeared on Long Chen's face. Suddenly, he exerted force with his hand. The man with the downward-sloping eyebrows felt a great force come through, and his whole body involuntarily flew towards Long Chen.

The man was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Long Chen's strength to be so great that even he, an expert at the First Heaven of the Blood Condensation Realm, could not resist.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Using that force to fly towards Long Chen, he lifted a foot, heading straight for Long Chen's chest. The speed of his reaction was dazzling, showing that he was a true expert.

Seeing him head straight over, Long Chen also kicked out a leg. The speed wasn't fast, but it was just right. Before that man's foot could kick Long Chen's chest, he kicked hard into that man's crotch.

"Snap!"

The sound of something shattering made everyone present feel a chill in their own crotches, and the hair on their backs stood on end.

"Ah!"

A scream resounded through the entire restaurant. Everyone who heard that scream couldn't help but feel horrified.

But even with such a scream, it still couldn't vent the pain on the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows.

"Bang!"

The man with the downward-sloping eyebrows crashed hard into the pillar, emitting an explosive sound, and then bounced back. His face was already distorted from pain, and he rolled back and forth on the ground.

Because of the violent rolling, the man's hat suddenly fell off. Fatty Yu and the others' expressions changed:

"People from the Great Xia Kingdom?"

The man's hat fell off, revealing an extremely strange bun, standing up like a twisted braid. No wonder his hat was so strange.

That bun was the symbol of the Great Xia Kingdom, but only those of high status would style their hair in such a way.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, feeling as if they had caused a great disaster today. Great Xia and Fengming were friendly nations; such behavior would affect diplomatic relations, and the charge would be very serious.

Looking at the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows rolling on the ground, the gloom in Long Chen's heart eased slightly. He handed the long whip to A Man and said: "He whipped you once; now you whip him back."

"Hit someone? I don't dare," A Man said, hesitating.

Long Chen's face darkened: "Are you not going to listen to my words?"

"I… I will hit him, then."

Seeing Long Chen's face darken, A Man was suddenly startled. Since growing up, he had only ever been on the receiving end of beatings; hitting someone else was a first. Holding the whip, he hesitated for a long time, not daring to swing it.

"Hit him!" Long Chen shouted. He needed A Man to take that step; otherwise, he would only be bullied for the rest of his life.

"Alright, I'll hit him."

A Man took a deep breath, and the whip lashed out towards the man.

"Ouch!"

A scream.

But that scream was not from the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows, but from the person closest to A Man.

"Brother A Man, who are you trying to hit?" That person couldn't help but feel like crying, rubbing his thigh which had been painfully whipped.

A Man couldn't help but blush. He had never used a whip before. The thing was soft and couldn't exert force at all. He hadn't hit the person in front, but instead had scraped his neighbor.

Long Chen sighed. This child had a lot of training ahead of him: "Continue."

After Long Chen shouted, whoosh, everyone ran far away, running three zhang away. Only at that distance did they feel safe.

"Snap!"

This time, A Man was quite good. He found a bit of the trick to using the whip, but that whip was a full eight chi away from the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows.

The man with the downward-sloping eyebrows was clutching his crotch tightly, his face already distorted from pain. How could he possibly care about A Man's painless attack?

"Brother Long, this time it will definitely work."

Seeing Long Chen's ugly expression, A Man hurriedly said, and after speaking, he prepared to raise the whip to lash at the man.

Just at this moment, a figure appeared in front of everyone. The man looked to be in his thirties, with a long scar on his face and an extremely ferocious expression.

"Stop!"

Seeing the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows lying on the ground and A Man holding the whip, that person couldn't help but be furious and shouted sternly.

"Just because you say stop, I should stop? Hit him!" Long Chen snorted coldly.

Seeing Long Chen say hit, A Man didn't hesitate anymore and lashed another whip towards the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows.

"Looking for death!"

Seeing A Man still attacking, that person couldn't help but be furious. Moving his feet, he transformed into a violent wind and pounced towards A Man.

"Get lost!"

Long Chen took a step forward, blocking in front of that person, and threw a punch.

Seeing Long Chen blocking him, that person raised his eyebrows and also threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The two fists met, emitting an explosive sound, and energy scattered. But what shocked the scarred man was that his punch couldn't actually force back this thin man who looked like a scholar in front of him.

"Snap!"

At this moment, A Man's whip finally landed, emitting a soft sound. He had originally intended to hit the buttocks of the man with the downward-sloping eyebrows, but his aim was too poor, and it lashed directly onto his face.

And coincidentally, it happened to lash right on his nose. Although A Man didn't know how to use a whip, he still had some strength, and it directly split the nose, with blood flowing wildly.

Seeing this, the scarred man couldn't help but turn livid with anger. He shouted sternly and exploded with his full strength, intending to send Long Chen flying.

Seeing this, Long Chen no longer held back. His Fengfu Star vibrated, and terrifying spiritual energy poured out like water from a breached dam, his full strength exploding.

"Crack!"

The two fists were pressed against each other, but the terrifying force made the floor tiles under their feet unable to bear it; they cracked one after another, spreading like a spider web.

Shi Feng and the others' expressions changed greatly. What kind of power was this? What exactly was Long Chen's cultivation level? How could he be like a bottomless pit?

Seeing that Long Chen was still able to resist his strength, the scarred man's expression changed, and murderous intent surged from his eyes.

"Boom!"

That man's blood energy exploded all over his body, and some blood-colored aura was almost visibly permeating the air. The terrifying energy made the air become heavy, and the people around felt it was difficult to breathe.

"Blood Condensation Middle Stage?"

Everyone was horrified. Only a Middle Stage expert of the Blood Condensation Realm could condense blood energy to this extent.

In the martial arts world, every major Realm is divided into nine minor Realms, which are from the First Heaven to the Nine Heavens.

The First to Third Heavens are the Early Stage, the Fourth to Sixth Heavens are the Middle Stage, and the Seventh to Ninth Heavens are the Late Stage. And the scarred man in front of them, currently exploding with full power, was clearly a Middle Stage expert of the Blood Condensation Realm.

"Boom!"

With an explosive sound, Long Chen felt his blood energy surging, and his whole body was shaken back more than a zhang. His chest couldn't help but ache slightly.

He had finally touched his own bottom line. He was not yet a match for this person in front of him. Long Chen was secretly shocked in his heart.

After the scarred man sent Long Chen flying with one punch, he didn't hesitate at all and threw another punch.

"How dare you hit my Brother Long!"

Suddenly, a roar like a thunderbolt came, making everyone's eardrums ring. A fist glowing with blood-colored light, carrying surging power, smashed towards the scarred man.
