From the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry to Hunting Sins and Becoming Saints

Chapter 76 Breaking the Might

Beside him, a woman who bore a slight resemblance to Liu Yu frowned.

This woman was well-maintained. Although she was a woman who ran the family's cloth shop, the hard work did not show on her face; she was charming and graceful.

Her graceful figure was draped in brocade, and her delicately made-up eyebrows exuded a serene and tranquil air.

This woman was Liu Yu's mother. She had previously met with Fu Que to discuss joining the fishermen's mutual aid association.

The Fu Que who is now on the stage, so cruel and bloody, is completely different from the one she remembers playing with her child; he is full of ruthless decisiveness.

This version of Fu Que is completely different from the one he showed her a few days ago when they discussed joining the association.

But soon, the woman's brows relaxed. There was nothing wrong with being ruthless to the enemy. As a member of the Dragon Tiger Cavalry, she should have this kind of resolute attitude. Otherwise, how could she face those cannibalistic demons?

Perhaps I should increase my investment and, while my child still has some affection for Fu Que, find a safe haven for the Liu family's cloth shop for the next ten years or so.

She glanced at her son, whose face was beaming with excitement, and sighed slightly. She gave up the idea of ​​letting Liu Yu leave the Dragon Tiger Guard and then slowly take over the family business. This child was hopeless; she should just look to the next generation.

……

One minute ago.

Yu Ling punched her opponent in the stomach, and while her opponent bent over in pain, she delivered a knee strike that sent his face splattering. When she looked up and around, there was no one left standing in the ring.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded in satisfaction. Although the process was somewhat tortuous and he had suffered some injuries, the result was good. He was the only one still standing on the entire stage. The others had either been knocked off the stage by him or had fainted and lost their fighting ability.

"That kid just got lucky and obtained some damn inheritance from a deity of a previous dynasty, and somehow he caught the eye of several high-ranking officials."

He was fine with the task of connecting other gangs, but he couldn't be bothered with those lowlifes and scoundrels.

Even the task of luring the snake out of its hole was assigned to him, and Yu Ling was dissatisfied with it. Why should he be the one to do this task?

Despite his resentment, the rules of the Dragon Knights were paramount; whoever was assigned the mission was responsible for it, so he had no choice but to carry it out.

This is why Yu Ling went to great lengths to defeat everyone on the field; he wanted to tell the adults that choosing Fu Que over him, Yu Ling, was an extremely wrong decision.

"Bah! I, Yu Ling, have trained through the coldest and hottest winters to develop this physique and martial arts skills. Fu Que, what is he? A laughingstock who's been in the tiger's den for years, yet he dares to stand above him!"

Yu Ling cursed inwardly, venting her anger.

Just then, a chorus of boos erupted from the direction of a makeshift arena near the corner not far away, followed by a chorus of discussion.

"Um?"

His thoughts were interrupted, and he involuntarily looked in that direction. He saw that the crowd, like a school of fish attracted by bait, had all stood up and craned their necks to look.

"Who is this kid? He's really ruthless. He turned the eldest young master of the Qi family into a human pig."

"The Qi family has completely lost face. All their best fighters were here, but they were all wiped out in no time."

"I heard that a few days ago, a group of people raided the Qi family's business and killed quite a few people. I originally thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that it might be true."

"I think so too. Look at this kid's ruthless methods. He doesn't seem like a local from Gaoyang County at all. Everyone in the area knows the power of the Qi family. Maybe this kid was sent by the group that raided the Qi family."

"That's a biased statement. How could they be so sure that the people they arranged would definitely run into the Qi family?"

"You just don't understand. The Qi family controls the livelihood of the people in Gaoyang County and monopolizes its lifeline. Who wouldn't be happy about that?"

"Indeed, haha, this is going to be a good show. A dragon from outside the river versus a local snake, let's see what the heroes will do after this martial arts competition."

Whether the Qi family can maintain its footing or not, or if it shows signs of decline, then it will be a situation where everyone pushes it down when it's already fallen.

Whispers spread like a receding tide, carrying surprise, schadenfreude, and an indescribable sense of joy.

Normally, the county soldiers should have maintained order at this time, and noise was prohibited at the martial arts test site. However, when they saw the squad leader gesturing to them, they ignored it and instead allowed the noise to continue unabated.

Making the Qi family suffer in front of everyone is more effective than anything else. Reputation and prestige are invisible and intangible, but they can be felt as weighty things.

This is also why Fu Que crushed Qi Wei with overwhelming force, even resorting to temporary wind elemental power from the start, in an absolutely cruel and superior manner.

He wanted to shatter the power that the Qi family had built up in Gaoyang County over a decade through iron and blood, making everyone understand that there were people in Gaoyang County who dared to provoke the Qi family.

Using this method to target the Qi family is far more effective than simply robbing a few batches of goods and killing a few leaders and close associates. Of course, a two-pronged approach would be even more effective.

However, there is a drawback to doing this: if it fails, the Qi family's reputation in Gaoyang County will reach a new level. At that time, if people want to deal with the Qi family, they will really need people from the prefectural city to come.

"Ajin."

The old man's eyes were red and swollen.

The middle-aged man standing nearby quickly agreed.

"Father...head of the family."

"Take Hong'er and Wei'er to the clinic. Also, I'll emphasize again, no one in the Qi family, from top to bottom, is allowed to act rashly or seek revenge. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The middle-aged man gave Fu Que a deep look as he gracefully left, but refused to speak.

"I asked, 'Can you hear me clearly?'"

Qi Tianfang turned around abruptly, his aged face contorted with rage.

"I heard you clearly, Master!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, answering with a mixture of bitterness and suppressed anger.

In the distance, at an inconspicuous teahouse, a man dressed as a scholar slowly sipped his tea.

He watched the chaos on the training ground with a sense of smug satisfaction.

"Sir, should we...?"

The servant asked a question.

"What do you want? To kill that Tiger Rider?"

"Intercept the transactions between the Green Gang and the Li family, sell stolen goods on the black market, establish a fishermen's mutual aid association to gather other gangs to fight us, act as that person's black glove to clean up casinos and underground banks, and take land deeds around Gaoyang County."

Now they're openly provoking the Qi family in the martial arts competition, humiliating them. If we don't act now, those we've gathered might start thinking about other things.

After all, aside from the initial success in attacking the Tiger Cavalry, we've been on the defensive the whole time.

The servant said with some concern.
