Chapter 164: He’s Not Alone!

Chapter 164 He’s Not Alone!

“I don’t know, I really don’t know!” Third Young Master Liang fell butt first to the ground. The arrogant look on his face was completely replaced by a frightened look with a mixture of tears and mucus.

on’t know, why are you still alive?” Ou Yangming uttered slowly, as if he was speaking to himself.

“S-sir, i-it’s… It’s him. He instigated me to forcibly occupy that girl’s property!” Third Young Master Liang suddenly turned and pointed at Liang Jiafu, who shivered like a quail. He grabbed his last straw like a drowning man, and he did not care if the straw could actually save his life. “Tell him, what did you do to Jiang Jiumei!”

“Mi-Military Master, I really d-don’t know! That day, I initially wanted to go over to threaten the little gi… No, Miss Jiang Jiumei, but she was already gone. The valuables in her home were already cleared, so we decided to stay there first,” Liang Jiafu stammered with his eyes widened. He breathed heavily as he added, “We didn’t want to occupy her property, instead, we wanted to help her manage it! Yes, that’s right. We wanted to manage it for her, so we’ll definitely return it to her once she returns!”

Ou Yangming glanced at them indifferently.

He had actually adopted differentiated treatment when he previously attacked. Ou Yangming only broke the limbs of the Force Grade martial artists without killing them, whereas he dared not slack at all when he faced the Yin Grade martial artists.

Being attacked by those martial artists, especially since Ou Yangming was outnumbered, he could not show off. Therefore, he gave his all when he faced the Yin Grade martial artists, and he killed them mercilessly.

If Ou Yangming thought about making things easier for five Yin Grade martial artists so that he would not harm their lives, he would be risking his life. When he walked out with Zhang Yinli’s head from the dense forest in the past, he was never going to make the same mistake anymore.

Nonetheless, even after killing every martial artist present, Ou Yangming came to a shocking realization that he seemed to have gotten it wrong.

Perhaps Jiang Jiumei had really escaped, and she was neither killed nor wiped out in secret.

Despite that, Ou Yangming was not regretful when he turned to look at the Liang family protectors, who were either groaning or dead.

Some things had to be done!

All of a sudden, his expression changed a little, and he turned to look.

At the door, roughly eight men headed quickly in his direction. The person in front was the fastest. He moved so fast that he only touched the ground slightly with his toes. He was able to move tens of centimeters forward with each step taken and was far ahead of the people behind him.

Ou Yangming sneered and kicked up a longsword with his toes to grab it, then he pointed the tip of the sword at Third Young Master Liang’s throat.

Third Young Master Liang was already frightened out of his wits due to Ou Yangming’s mental pressure and ruthless means. As such, he simply let Ou Yangming suppress him because he did not have the thought to resist at all.

The elder at the front stopped right away in the courtyard.

He glanced around with his lightning eyes and questioned coldly, “Are you the outlaw who killed my clan’s protectors and escaped through the gate?” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “An outlaw? Heh, are you the old fart behind the killing of a soldier’s family and the seizing of their house?”

The men, who were on the ground, were in immense pain, but they had the urge to laugh when they heard what Ou Yangming said.

On the other hand, the elder looked unusually displeased, and he remarked angrily, “Nonsense!”

His body moved a little as though he wanted to take down Ou Yangming in a move.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was already observing his every move, so as soon as there was a slight movement from the elder, Ou Yangming moved the longsword forward a little.

“Uh…” Third Young Master Liang trembled due to fear, and he stopped thinking because an intense and fearsome aura surrounded him.

The elder immediately stopped and stared at Ou Yangming. “Maniac, let go of him first!”

Ou Yangming cast a strange look at the elder and mumbled, “You’re a Yang Grade powerhouse. If I let him go, what should I do if you kill me?”

“As the current Liang family’s patriarch, Liang Jinye, I assure you that I’ll no longer pursue this matter as long as you let him go!” The elder said furiously.

“No, you can bully even a soldier’s family, so your words aren’t reliable!” Ou Yangming shook his head.

Liang Jinye was infuriated, but he looked at Third Young Master Liang lovingly and with worry.

Ou Yangming suddenly laughed. “How about this, I’ll let him go if you guarantee me something.”

“What is it?” Liang Jinye’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

“Your cultivation base is higher than mine, so I’m worried. I’ll let him go if you cripple yourself of your cultivation base, what do you think?” Ou Yangming replied to him smilingly.

“What, did, you, say?” Liang Jinye had an extremely fierce look in his eyes. If one’s look could kill, Ou Yangming would have been cut into mincemeat long ago.

Ou Yangming asked calmly, “How about you slowly consider your choice?”

“Young man, I’ve found out about the whole incident. The Liang family is indeed at fault, and we’re willing to make things right.” Liang Jinye inhaled deeply and forced himself to let go of his rage. He suggested after a pause, “As long as the girl returns, we’ll return her house to her. As for the fact that you killed the Liang family’s disciples, it’ll be canceled once for all. What do you think?”

Ou Yangming looked quietly at the elder and responded with a faint smile, “Patriarch Liang, you made such an outright promise! If Jiang Jiumei really comes back and stays at her original house, I’m afraid that she’ll die from a sudden illness after a year, am I

right?”

Liang Jinye was stunned, and his face instantly darkened. The incident involved a soldier’s family and had escalated, hence the Liang family could not hide the truth from the masses anymore. This was why the elder decided to take a step back for the time being to patch up the quarrel.

However, once this matter was no longer under the spotlight, how could the Liang family be willing to suffer a loss?

By then, not only would Jiang Jiumei lose for sure, but the reckless young fellow would also be killed.

That said, Liang Jinye did not expect Ou Yangming to perceive his thoughts so quickly. Ou Yangming was not an ordinary child, after all. He was an orphan, so he was well-experienced in matters such as this. Thus, as he observed everything under the thoroughly meticulous state, it was impossible for Liang Jinye to lie to him. “You sneaky dog, come out!” All of a sudden, Ou Yangming moved his wrist and uttered. He raised his leg to kick a stone beside him, which flew to the side like an arrow.

“Humph!” A deep groan was heard, then a figure jumped out of that spot and pounced on Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming sneered and kicked again, but he kicked Third Young Master Liang’s waist this time.

Third Young Master Liang cried out in surprise and instantly flew up. He could not identify the situation anymore because he was already paralyzed due to fear, so he grabbed wildly in the air and looked extremely afraid.

The person who suddenly appeared turned his body and reached out for Third Young Master Liang’s waist. As long as he caught the third young master, he could save him.

Nonetheless, it was at that instant that a sword-light was seen on Third Young Master Liang’s right shoulder.

It resulted in a rain of blood and a miserable shriek from the young master.

“Second Younger Brother, no!” Liang Jinye’s face changed as he yelled out loud.

The person realized at that moment that when he wanted to save Third Young Master Liang earlier, Ou Yangming had kicked the young master toward him and also stabbed the young master’s shoulder.

Upon seeing the situation, the person dared not resist the sword because the counter-acting force would certainly hurt Third Young Master Liang. If the young master really died because of this, he did not know who Liang Jinye would blame in the end.

Hence, the person withdrew himself and retreated although he was indignant.

Once he retreated, Ou Yangming withdrew the sword as well, but a flash of sword-light was seen as the sword was pointed at Third Young Master Liang’s neck once more. Nevertheless, the young master’s body had an invisible hole where blood flowed out, and the floor was instantly covered in red. Liang Jinye’s eyes reddened. He turned his head abruptly and shouted fiercely, “Second Young Brother, what are you doing?”

The person was also an elder, who had a similar age with Liang Jinye. He pulled a long face, but he did not argue with Liang Jinye in front of the other people. “Stop the bleeding! Stop the bleeding first!” Liang Jinye roared.

“He won’t die from losing some blood since he has plenty of blood.” Ou Yangming chuckled, but he still took two pieces of rags to put them on the young master’s wound.

Liang Jinye was already stamping with fury, but after witnessing Ou Yangming’s cruel methods, he gave up on the idea of saving the young master through a surprise attack.

Ou Yangming glanced at them smilingly. “Elders, if the Liang family has other masters who would like to give this a go, quickly send them here now and let them attack together. That way, he won’t have to suffer for too long.”

‘You attacked violently without any warning, so who would still dare to make a move?’ Liang Jinye’s lips trembled, then he inhaled deeply and expressed, “Young man, let me give you a piece of advice. The Liang family’s rage is not something that you can withstand!”

“He’s not alone!” A thunderous voice was suddenly heard coming from behind him.

Wu Guotu, who kept a straight face, paced steadily in their direction.

The moment he set foot in the courtyard, the strong aura that he released was as mighty as a mountain such that even Liang Jinye and his brother, who were both Yang Grade powerhouses, dared not stop him.

Wu Guotu walked toward Ou Yangming and roared, “Boys!” “Who says you have no clothes to wear? I’ll share my robe with you. The king has raised his force, I’ll fix my dagger-axe and spear, and I’ll kill the enemy with you!

“Who says you have no clothes to wear? I’ll share my undergarment with you. The king has raised his force, I’ll sharpen my spear and halberd, and I’ll set out with you!

“Who says you have no clothes to wear? I’ll share my lower garment with you. The king has raised his force, I’ll mend my armor and weapon, and I’ll march along with you!”

Sonorous voices rolled in the courtyard!

Thirty soldiers marched in order with a threatening aura and thirty spears. They were like an invincible and magnificent army.
