C46 One Hand Fought Against a Generation of People(1)

Woo Zhengyang stood alone, ready to challenge the younger generation of the Lau family. The crowd at the banquet was visibly intrigued, even the usually distracted and robust young man, Huang Ruoshan from the Iron Cloud Sect, perked up with interest.

In a short span, most attendees had discreetly sized up Woo Zhengyang, finding no discernible energy emanating from him. This suggested that even if he had tapped into his Origin Genuine Qi, his training must have been brief, aligning perfectly with the time he had been away.

This left everyone more puzzled. What was Woo Zhengyang relying on for such a bold provocation? Was Lau Qingfeng backing him?

"Challenge all of us? I think this guy lost his mind after leaving and came back completely arrogant," Lau Ruyue sneered.

"The real arrogance is yet to come. My challenge is me alone against your entire generation!" Woo Zhengyang declared. He wasn't looking for trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either. Lau Ruyue's earlier words had crossed a line for him, and it was time to settle old scores.

"Such audacity! If you're so eager to meet your end, I'll be the one to teach you a lesson," Lau Ruyue said, stepping toward Woo Zhengyang.

"Hold it! Since when does the Lau family allow you to run wild?" Lau Qinghan interjected, noticing Woo Zhengyang's lack of cultivation and refusing to stand by idly. He stepped in front of Woo Zhengyang, ready to intervene.

"The head of the family hasn't spoken yet, nor have I, your fourth uncle. It's not your place to speak!" an elderly man with graying hair said with displeasure.

This man was Lau Ruyue's grandfather, Lau Nianyu. Seeing Lau Qinghan scold his grandson to protect Woo Zhengyang didn't sit well with him.

The Lau family, spanning three generations, was all caught up in this, making the scene unusually lively. Many guests, who outwardly maintained harmony with the Lau family but secretly hoped for their disgrace, were quietly pleased.

It was clear that Lau Qinghan was in a weak position in this family feud. Whether it was Lau Qingfeng's status as head of the family or Lau Nianyu's seniority, both were enough to suppress Lau Qinghan completely.

"Uncle, it's fine. Since I dared to speak up, I'm not afraid to handle this. Dealing with him will only take one hand!" Woo Zhengyang said with a light laugh, stepping forward to spare Lau Qinghan any trouble.

"Hmph, such arrogance. If that's the case, let's head to the training grounds!" Lau Ruyue was nearly fuming. Although his talent wasn't remarkable, he was still a four-star martial disciple. For Woo Zhengyang to claim he only needed one hand to deal with him was simply too insulting.

"If we use your training grounds, your family might think I'm taking advantage of you. Besides, I don't need a training ground to deal with you; this place is more than enough!" Woo Zhengyang retorted without holding back.

"Watch me knock you out!" Ryan shouted in a fit of rage, raising his fist and swinging it at Alex.

Alex stood his ground, effortlessly executing the "Azure Cloud Embracing Moon Palm," sending nine palm shadows toward Ryan.

Everyone was taken aback by Alex's skill. They hadn't expected him to be so capable. Even though there was no noticeable energy fluctuation, his technique was undeniably impressive.

*Smack...*

After a crisp sound, Alex and Ryan briefly separated. Alex was unharmed, while a red handprint marked Ryan's cheek, clearly showing who had the upper hand.

Without time to be surprised, the fight continued. Alex seized the moment, advancing with the same hand and unleashing another set of nine palm shadows.

Ryan, bewildered by the unexpected slap, realized Alex's prowess. As Alex charged again, Ryan attempted to retreat and draw his sword quickly.

Unfortunately, like others before him, Ryan underestimated Alex's speed. In a flash, Alex appeared right in front of him, transforming the nine palm shadows into a series of stinging slaps across Ryan's face.

Before long, Ryan found himself following in the footsteps of others who had faced Alex, spun into the air like a top...

At this moment, everyone finally understood how Sun Wuji ended up with a face so battered and bruised. With Woo Zhengyang's combat skills, did he really need to resort to a sneak attack?

"Enough..."

Lau Nianyu couldn't just watch his grandson get beaten like that. With a wave of his hand, he pulled Lau Ruyue out of the air. Lau Ruyue was in even worse shape than Sun Wuji, flailing and howling like a madman, even as Lau Nianyu held him close. Driven by his deep affection for his grandson, Lau Nianyu didn't bother with words. He quickly left, carrying Lau Ruyue to tend to his injuries.

With Lau Ruyue's cries gone, the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned their attention to Woo Zhengyang, who was calmly wiping the blood from his hands, unfazed by the tension in the air.

"Who's next?" Woo Zhengyang asked, scanning the crowd before finally fixing his gaze on Lau Ruyue.
