Chapter 105 Who exactly are you?
Even though the warm sun shines on all the people on the street, they still can't feel any warmth at all.
无他
The chilling, malevolent aura had already permeated the surroundings; even from several meters away, one could feel the cold air rushing from the soles of one's feet to the top of one's head.
Not to mention the three petty thieves who bore the brunt of the pressure.
There was no tense atmosphere on the field, only a terrifying chill that made the three of them almost unable to breathe.
Just as Fang Hongxuan was about to draw his sword and behead the three men, the jade pendant inside his clothes suddenly became scalding hot.
The sudden change instantly jolted Fang Hongxuan out of his murderous state. He suppressed his aura until the resentful aura that had enveloped the surrounding streets completely dissipated before returning to normal.
"You...you..."
The three men stammered, unable to speak. The thief who had been burned was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and his whole body convulsed uncontrollably.
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? I'll take them all. If you're going to back down, then don't try to stop me!"
Although this deviated from Fang Hongxuan's original plan, he had no choice but to go along with it since things had come to this point.
"Alright, you wait here! I'll go get reinforcements! If you've got the guts, don't try to sneak away from Wugu Town."
The bandit leader, wielding a stick, stared fiercely at Fang Hongxuan, his eyes showing no fear or apprehension whatsoever.
Fang Hongxuan didn't reply, but simply placed his knife on the ground, silently lying across the middle of the street.
"Let's go!"
Just as the bandit leader was about to pull up his two brothers, the cold-looking man in front of him slowly drew his blade.
This abrupt action made the bandit leader realize the harsh reality. If he were to go and call for reinforcements, Fang Hongxuan wouldn't stop him; but if he were to take the two hostages away, the three of them would likely end up dead in the street.
After giving Fang Hongxuan a deep look, the bandit leader turned and ran. He was determined to call all 180-100 brothers in his gang and teach this arrogant guy a lesson.
The two people lying on the ground also woke up. They did not try to get up, but silently lay prostrate on the ground, waiting for the outcome.
As for the people who had gathered around the embankment, they were in an uproar. Some were gloating, some were terrified, and some had already quietly retreated, just to avoid accidentally getting caught up in it.
"If you ask me, this is no different from the previous troublemakers. In the end, they will still be thrown out with their hands and feet broken and their teeth knocked out."
"The bigger the commotion gets, the more likely it is to affect us. In my opinion, we should leave first and observe from the buildings around the street."
"That's right. Although the Li family will compensate the affected people, they will have to bear the pain themselves."
If you get carried away in the heat of the fight and get slashed by that person, then there's no going back for justice.
The whispering and murmuring crowd scattered like birds and beasts.
Fang Hongxuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, did not pay any attention. Even though he had clearly heard what most of the people present were saying, he did not take it to heart.
The cold wind howls, the winter sun rises.
A lone, withered leaf wanders on the bluestone bricks, wisps of dust rising and dissipating with the wind.
The surrounding shops and stores all kept their doors and windows tightly shut. Only the second floors of the various houses were crowded with people, who dared not even breathe, just to witness Fang Hongxuan's fate.
"Ding-dong... Ding-dong..."
The sound of gongs and drums resounded all around, and disorderly footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by a constant stream of vulgar and offensive language.
The two petty thieves on the ground raised their heads upon hearing the sound, their joy and delight barely concealed.
However, the two who had just experienced Fang Hongxuan's ferocity dared not utter any harsh words.
However, the smugness of about to avenge his great enemy could not be concealed no matter what.
a moment
The streets on both sides were completely surrounded by a huge crowd.
"I told you, he's no different from those troublemakers before, he'll still get a good beating!"
In the end, they still slunk away from Wugu Town like rats crossing the street...
"Why not take a guess at how long he can last? It'll be good for everyone's amusement..."
"Hmph, those guys will only last half a cup of tea; if it goes on any longer, they'll be dead..."
Among the crowd, some busybodies were confidently discussing the fate of the people surrounded downstairs.
"I've brought the men, so what are you going to do about it? Hurry up and release my two brothers, so that when the fight starts, I can let the other brothers have a go easy on them."
The bandit leader had a ruddy complexion and exuded an imposing aura. His club was pointed directly at Fang Hongxuan's face.
Relying on his superior numbers, he was not afraid of the agile Fang Hongxuan.
"With so many people, you'd be crushed by the sheer number. What kind of trouble could you possibly cause?"
"Is that all the people?"
With just one sentence, he completely ignited the fervor of everyone present.
"Why waste words with him? Brothers, let's attack together and smash his head open, making him lose control of his bladder and bowels! To uphold the majesty of our Lady!"
The gang, armed with various farm tools and implements, pointed at Fang Hongxuan's nose and cursed him in a fit of rage.
Even the people watching the play upstairs were dumbfounded.
"My goodness, Your Honor! This man must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard to be so audacious. Could he be mentally challenged or something?"
"What an arrogant brat!"
"He's dead! Even the Empress can't save him, I'm telling you!"
Fang Hongxuan glanced around at the hundred or so people and sighed deeply. It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that after this group arrived, Cuo Jin had silently drawn his sword a mere half an inch...
"Since they are so stubborn and show no sincerity whatsoever, then let's continue the suppression..."
"Buzz..."
The overwhelming force, like Mount Tai pressing down, spread around in an instant like a sudden storm.
Everyone's heart was pounding, and an unspeakable fear spread through the hearts of the crowd.
The malevolent aura, a mixture of black and red, blotted out the sky, shrouding the entire street in gloom.
From a distance, it looks like half a circle inverted on the street.
"What's going on... why is it so dark..."
Both the onlookers and the believers who were about to charge forward looked at the dark sky with fear and unease.
"Who...who are you...?"
The bandit leader could no longer maintain his composure. He stared in horror at Fang Hongxuan, who was faintly visible in the center, and questioned him sharply.
The crowds inside the various theaters immediately erupted into chaos, with shouts, cries, and sobs filling the air. Everywhere was in complete disarray.
"Get down!"
The ferocious and terrifying face of the Immovable Wrathful King gradually emerged, followed by the gleaming magic sword.
The magic sword, carrying boundless power, pressed down, and all the believers present looked at the cold-faced swordsman with fear.
Their weapons fell to the ground one after another, and they themselves slowly lay prone on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
All this was done to avoid attracting Fang Hongxuan's attention and to survive.
"Smack..."
The bandit leader received another solid blow to the left side of his face from the sheathed staff.
Both sides of the dough were swollen with red marks of the same magnitude.
He instinctively covered the swollen areas on both sides of his cheeks, staring intently at Fang Hongxuan. His eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.
"I'll give you another chance... to go get reinforcements..."
