Wushen.
How powerful and rare!
Although the Qin family was not at the absolute peak in North Sea City, they were definitely among the upper echelon. Despite spending a fortune and great effort, they could only afford the Wushen-level old ghost Sang.
But the Asura Gate was truly monstrous!
As soon as Jiang Xiaoyao declared her intention to fall out with the Qin family, two Wushens appeared by her side: Jasmine and Old Vine, a married couple. Although they were servants, they were powerful Wushen-level experts.
From this, it could be seen.
The Asura Gate had no shortage of Wushens!
"Everyone, retreat."
"Those who approach Sect Master Jiang shall die!"
Jasmine and Old Vine said with expressionless faces.
An extremely terrifying aura surged towards the Qin family's formation. Even Deputy Director Zhao Hong and his security team were intimidated by this killing intent and instinctively took a few steps back.
The entire venue fell silent once more.
On the stage, Ye Zixiao actually sat down. This insane troublemaker, under the threat of countless gun muzzles, actually sat down with a smile and lit a cigarette.
"Heh, what a character!"
Lin Qingzhu, standing nearby, rolled her eyes.
"Ye Zixiao, what now?"
Lin Feng walked over dazedly and asked.
"Damn it, what's there to panic about?"
Lin Bin slapped Ye Zixiao on the shoulder and said carelessly, "With my elder brother here, no one else matters. Besides, my elder brother is Jiang Xiaoyao's pretty boy, he'll definitely be protected."
"Screw you!"
Ye Zixiao kicked Lin Bin away.
Below the stage, Jiang Xiaoyao had confronted the Qin family and the security team. No one spoke out of turn, and no one made the first move. Even the second-in-command officials began to feel nervous.
"Are you sure you want to fall out?"
Qin Hanshan asked again, his face cold.
"What, are you scared?"
Jiang Xiaoyao's expression turned haughty.
"Damn it."
The earless Young Master Qin rushed forward and pointed at Jiang Xiaoyao, saying, "Jiang Xiaoyao, do you really think you're so great? You're just a martial arts sect, do you think you can fly to the heavens?"
*Slap!*
Jasmine suddenly waved her hand.
With a crisp sound, Young Master Qin tumbled through the air, flew over the crowd, and smashed hard into a window, falling outside with shattered glass, his fate unknown.
"Too much nonsense!"
Jasmine remained expressionless.
"Jiang Xiaoyao, you damn..."
"Kill her!"
The bride Ma Ya'ai had just spoken when Jiang Xiaoyao issued the kill order. Jasmine moved again, her figure a blur, a cold glint appearing, and a curved blade exuded fierce killing intent.
*Thwack!*
Blood sprayed from Ma Ya'ai's throat...
Her eyes wide with terror, she covered her neck with her hands, blood flowing out between her fingers. She looked utterly helpless, and after three seconds, she collapsed on the ground, her legs kicking.
"Daughter!!!"
Ma Sanchun cried out, pushing through the crowd towards his daughter on the ground. However, Ma Ya'ai was beyond saving. She didn't even manage to utter a last word before her breath completely ceased!
"Jiang, Xiaoyao!"
Ma Sanchun roared ferociously, waving his hand to signal his own people, and shouted at Jiang Xiaoyao, "Kill her, kill her! Damn it, hack that bitch to death!"
"Old Zhao, open fire!"
Qin Hanshan finally made his decision.
Jiang Xiaoyao had no reservations. First, she had someone strike down his son, and now she had directly killed his daughter-in-law. The Ma family would definitely not let this slide. Since they were falling out, they might as well go to war!
The crowd stirred.
Shouts erupted in a chaotic din...
"Open fire, shoot Ye Zixiao to death."
Zhao Hong had also finally made up his mind. The matter could no longer be suppressed. Since he had decided to side with the Qin family, he had to break ties with Jiang Xiaoyao and fight the Asura Gate.
"Do we really have to fight?"
A woman's voice rang out.
Time seemed to slow down. Just a single voice made the agitated Qin and Ma family members tense up. The police officers who were about to pull the trigger paused their actions.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.
It was Tang Keke who stood up.
The chairman of Longding Group, her entire being exuded dominance and authority. Her fair face was expressionless, yet it conveyed an immense pressure.
"President Qin, Zhao Hong, since you're falling out, then count me in. I'm friends with Jiang Xiaoyao, so naturally, we're on the same side. If we fall out together, I wonder if you can handle it?"
Saying this.
Tang Keke had already moved to Jiang Xiaoyao's side.
These two stunningly beautiful women, one the foremost martial artist in North Sea City, the other the head of the richest group in the city, if they stood together, their power would be truly immense!
"Go on."
"Damn it, let's do this!"
"Why don't you open fire!"
Ma Sanchun and the leaders of the Ma family were completely red-eyed. With Ma Ya'ai dead, the Ma family had no bargaining chips left. If they didn't fight, they certainly wouldn't survive.
"Who dares?"
Tang Keke did not call for her subordinates, stepping forward alone, she sternly declared, "Whether it's a family or the authorities, whoever dares to come for me and Jiang Xiaoyao, I guarantee their entire family will die a miserable death."
"Everyone, stop."
Qin Hanshan suddenly grew nervous.
He immediately ordered his own people to restrain the frenzied Ma family members and instructed Zhao Hong's security team to lower their guns. Although the situation remained a stalemate, it was clear he was afraid.
Qin Hanshan was confident in facing Jiang Xiaoyao alone. After all, in this world, power was king. He and Zhao Hong were in cahoots, and they had a chance to destroy the Asura Gate.
But now the situation had changed!
Tang Keke had chosen her side.
Although the Tang family were merchants, their wealth was enough to rival a nation. Money could buy anything. With Tang Keke and Jiang Xiaoyao allied, Qin Hanshan and Zhao Hong were definitely no match.
"Hahaha, it's all over!"
On the stage, Ye Zixiao finished his cigarette.
He flicked the butt and jumped off the stage, roughly shoving past the police officers and the Qin and Ma family's thugs, walking directly to Jiang Xiaoyao. He raised his hand and pinched Jiang Xiaoyao's face.
"Holy crap!"
"Is he that presumptuous?"
"Isn't he just a pretty boy?"
"Looks like he's living quite well!"
The onlookers couldn't help but murmur.
"Stop fooling around!"
Jiang Xiaoyao was not angered. She merely pushed away Ye Zixiao's presumptuous hand and then said to Qin Hanshan, "Are you fighting or not? If not, I'm going back to rest."
"Old Qin, calm down."
Zhao Hong shook his head at Qin Hanshan.
"Oh dear, everyone, let's all calm down!"
"Sect Master Jiang, President Tang, we're all on the same side. This matter is actually a misunderstanding."
"Forget it, forget it, Old Qin, take a step back."
The second-in-command officials, who had been trying to smooth things over, finally spoke up to mediate. They all gathered around, persuading Qin Hanshan while also showing goodwill to Jiang Xiaoyao.
No one was willing to offend Jiang Xiaoyao.
Even fewer dared to provoke Tang Keke.
Therefore, this falling out could not proceed.
"Listen up, all of you."
Ye Zixiao stood with his hands on his hips, between Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke, shouting with a touch of borrowed bravado, "Everyone present, one and all, whoever dares to provoke the Lin family, I will crush them."
Jiang Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.
Tang Keke chuckled.
The Qin and Ma families were all suppressing their anger. The second-in-command officials looked extremely awkward. The three members of the Lin family on stage were bewildered. The audience was no longer surprised!
"The Qin family has backed down!"
"Yeah, it's not going to escalate."
"Why is Ye Zixiao still acting so arrogant?"
"He can't live without acting arrogant!"
The onlookers' words carried a hint of disappointment.
"Let's go, pretty boy!"
Jiang Xiaoyao teased him and turned to leave with Tang Keke. Along the way, she said, "Qin Hanshan, this face has already been shown. You just wait to receive my move. I'm not to be trifled with."
Qin Hanshan did not respond.
"Wife, let's go!"
Ye Zixiao waved towards the stage.
The three members of the Lin family finally snapped out of their daze and confusion. They immediately jumped off the stage to catch up with Ye Zixiao. Without a word, they followed him out.
"Ye Zixiao."
Qin Hanshan suddenly spoke, his voice sinister, "You think this is the end? In fact, it's just the beginning. You'll soon know how powerful I am. I'll wait for you to beg for mercy on your knees."
"Wait a moment."
Ye Zixiao, who had reached the doorway, suddenly raised his hand.
"Hurry up and go!"
Lin Qingzhu immediately pushed him.
Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke, walking ahead, also stopped. They turned around simultaneously, looking at Ye Zixiao with incomprehension, thinking to themselves, this guy, he's not going to cause more trouble, is he?
In the Qin family's entourage.
Qin Hanshan was also a little nervous.
He genuinely feared Ye Zixiao going berserk!
"Since we've fallen out, we need to get the money back!"
Ye Zixiao didn't look back at all and completely ignored Qin Hanshan's final threat. He turned and walked towards a nearby room, where the gift money and contributions were being kept.
