Chapter 131: Defeating the Dog with a Single Palm
[Page 1 of 3]
“Holy crap!”
“What the hell are we afraid of? We have Cheng Long, the King of Combat, here!”
The wealthy men, who had been trembling with fear just moments earlier, instantly brightened. But for all their excitement, none of them dared say a word.
After all, the man in black possessed such an overwhelming presence that they felt they could barely breathe, let alone speak.
The man in black had already issued his challenge and intimidated the wealthy men with a single palm strike. He was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
Slowly, he turned to look at Cheng Long and frowned.
The wealthy men felt their breathing halt. Surely, a fight was about to break out.
The meeting room was indeed spacious, but once two masters began fighting, this little space would hardly be enough.
The wealthy men decided that the moment the battle began, they would have to flee immediately. Otherwise, they might well be caught in the crossfire.
The state of the door was proof enough. Anything caught in the aftermath would be injured by the slightest touch and killed on contact. It was simply too dangerous!
But who could have guessed that just as the wealthy men prepared to run, the man in black would pause briefly before turning around and leaving anyway?
Only then did the wealthy men finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Hahaha, he chickened out, didn’t he?”
“Damn! I thought he really dared to fight Mr. Cheng Long. Turns out he was only here to deliver a challenge.”
“Hmph! Who does he think he is? He’s nothing but one of Huang Tian’s disciples!”
“Mr. Cheng Long doesn’t even regard Huang Tian as a threat, let alone one of his disciples. If that man dared to attack, he’d simply be asking to die!”
Liang Siqi had also recovered from her fear by then.
She smiled and said, “Thank goodness Mr. Cheng Long is here. Otherwise, that bastard would have humiliated us just now, and we wouldn’t even have dared resist!”
“Hey! Don’t leave yet!”
Suddenly, Liang Siqi noticed that the man in black had not gone far and shouted after him.
“Go back and tell your master that our Mr. Cheng Long will certainly accept his challenge five days from now!”
“Tell her to hurry up and prepare a coffin and a grave. And you should prepare one for yourself too. I have a feeling you may be needing it!”
With the King of Combat, Cheng Long, standing guard, Liang Siqi had nothing to fear.
Seeing that the man in black had merely stopped without turning around, Cheng Long immediately frowned and strode toward him.

“Turn around!”
“Didn’t you hear what I said? Hurry up and get a broom to clean this place up!”
Cheng Long clearly had no intention of letting the man in black off. Yet after hearing him, the man in black simply resumed walking.
Bang!
The gesture sent Cheng Long into a rage. He kicked straight through his own chair and shouted furiously, “Are you deaf, you worthless piece of trash?”
“I’ll give you one more chance. Clean this place up immediately, or you won’t be walking out of this restaurant tonight!”
What domineering power!
Cheng Long’s roar was so thunderous that the entire meeting room seemed to tremble.
Liang Siqi’s eyes sparkled with admiration, while the wealthy men felt reassured by Cheng Long’s imposing presence.
Had they known that a man in black would come today to deliver a challenge, they might not have stalled for so long or shown Hong Yu any courtesy when he was there.
Now that they thought back on what had happened, the wealthy men were filled with lingering fear.
If they had truly driven Cheng Long away for Hong Yu’s sake, what would they have done now?
If even one of Huang Tian’s disciples was this terrifying, then Huang Tian himself must be even more formidable. Every one of them would surely have been killed.
The man in black paused for a moment and actually stopped. This time, he even turned around and walked toward Cheng Long.
Seeing that the man had chosen to submit, Cheng Long immediately laughed.
“Heh. Now that’s what I call recognizing the situation. Hurry up and clean this place.”
“If you dare put on airs again, I don’t care about that old saying that envoys must not be harmed during wartime. Even if you’re only here to deliver a challenge, I’ll still cut you down right here!”
Cheng Long laughed with triumphant arrogance. But just as everyone was waiting for the man in black to start cleaning, the man suddenly struck.
With one palm, he attempted to slap Cheng Long.
“Damn you! How dare you act so recklessly!”
Shocked, Cheng Long shouted as he punched toward him.
Crack!
Fist collided with palm, followed by the unmistakable sound of breaking bones.
“Ah! My hand!”
The wealthy men had been expecting Cheng Long’s punch to shatter the man in black’s hand. After all, this was a fist against a palm, and Cheng Long’s strength was supposed to far exceed that of his opponent.
They had been waiting for a spectacle. What they had not expected was for Cheng Long to be the one screaming.
The arrogant, invincible Cheng Long had vanished in an instant. His arm broken, he shrieked in agony, yet the man in black’s palm did not slow down. The slap still landed viciously across Cheng Long’s face.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Cheng Long was sent flying through the air, spinning several times before crashing down.
“I…”
“Holy crap!”
“This… this can’t be real!”
At that moment, every wealthy man was utterly stunned.
Shen Chong was so terrified that he wet himself. Li Tian, the richest landowner in Hannan, immediately collapsed to the floor. Liang Zhanpeng’s face turned deathly pale; he opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Everyone was scared out of their wits. Their bodies trembled, and their hands and feet turned icy cold.
No one could have imagined that the World King of Combat, who moments ago had been so arrogant as to declare that he would defeat Huang Tian within three moves and kill him in a single battle, would be beaten half to death by a single slap from a man in black!
And this man in black was not even Huang Tian. He was merely one of Huang Tian’s disciples. How could the difference between them be so utterly vast?
The brutal truth left every wealthy man speechless. Liang Siqi could not even stand and had collapsed onto the floor. A wet patch stained the ground beneath her, apparently left there moments earlier.
“Heh. So this is what you were relying on?”
“I never expected him to be such a useless piece of trash!”
The man in black suddenly turned around and swept his gaze across the room with a cold laugh.
“With skills this pitiful, you actually dared accept my master’s challenge?”
“Against trash like him, killing him is no harder than killing a dog. And compared to my master, he’s nothing. If this kind of rubbish comes within five meters of my master, the force of my master’s punches alone will be enough to kill him!”
The man in black’s words made everyone’s faces turn even paler.
They immediately remembered what Hong Yu had said earlier. Hadn’t the man in black just repeated the exact same thing?
By then, they had begun to regret their choices. They had never imagined that Cheng Long would turn out to be such a worthless fraud.
After knocking Cheng Long unconscious with a single palm, the man in black gave a mocking snort and prepared to leave.
A large bag lay in front of the meeting-room door. The man in black frowned, then suddenly kicked it away. Its contents spilled across the floor.
Just then, Hong Yu appeared.
He had walked for a while before remembering that he had forgotten to take the gifts he had bought for Lin Shuyu’s grandfather. When he returned, he happened to witness the scene before him.
He was furious.
