C30 I Only Broke His Bones, That’s All

“Why do I see tears? Your disciple is far from dead yet. Why don’t you come to my place to face your death, fella?”

Biao was also in high spirits at the moment. He never expected to come across an inner martial cultivator in this small and backward North Rao County. He took one step forward and immediately charged at Master Liu.

“Ran, do you think Master Liu will really be able to defeat Biao?” Zhang Tao watched the battle with butterflies in his stomach. His palms were drenched with sweat, as if he was the one with something on the line.

Meng Ran caught a glimpse of Zhang Tao’s facial expression, which he found to be rather funny. Meng Ran couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Zhang Tao is even afraid of this child’s play. Suppose Zhang Tao ever becomes the leader of the Star Domain and takes command over those almighty experts who can destroy the stars with just a single punch. Wouldn’t he be quivering from the responsibility to the point of being the most cowardly Star Lord in the galaxy?

Meng Ran started to picture Zhang Tao’s funny expression in his head once he becomes the Star Domain Lord. Meng Ran found the image so hilarious that he couldn’t suppress his giggles, and one burst forth from his mouth right then.

Zhang Tao said as if to himself, “Master Liu is widely known in these parts as a master. I have faith that he’ll be able to defeat Biao.”

Meng Ran put away his smile and then shook his head. “Things don’t always work out exactly how you want them to.”

Master Liu took a look at the situation and didn’t like what he saw. He was shocked and furious that his beloved disciple had been seriously injured. His disciple was extremely gifted and had been practicing martial arts for over ten years. His disciple had even reached the entry internal arts that took Master Liu forty years to achieve. This disciple was only slightly weaker than him. However, as it turned out, this disciple was no match for Biao. Did this mean that Biao had already reached the Small Completion of internal arts?

Right then, Master Liu could sense a strong wind heading in his direction. There was no way he could be caught in another dilemma. He lifted up his palm and used it to meet Biao’s steel-like fist head-on.

“Bang!”

The fist and palm slammed into each other, but Biao didn’t move at all. The only one who was forced a few steps back turned out to be Master Liu!

“Damn! Could it be that Master Liu isn’t good enough to beat Biao?” Zhang Tao nervously grabbed hold of Meng Ran’s sleeve and tugged on it.

Master Liu saw how nonchalant Biao seemed and was instantly infuriated. He forced back his surging blood Qi and shouted furiously, “Don’t stop. Continue fighting!”

The two were locked in a fierce battle. The sounds of their fists and palms meeting head-on rang out continuously without stop. It even stirred up a strong wind that caused a large number of spectators to flee the scene. 'This was really too much!' they thought.

Two minutes later, the two stood apart on the battlefield. Biao’s expression remained unchanged. Even though Master Liu was using his hand to press his chest tightly, he still couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Master Liu smiled bitterly as he cupped his fists. “You’ve done well. I admit defeat.”

Biao sneered and spat on the ground. “Is there anyone else who’d like to challenge me?”

The tall and fierce Biao looked everyone straight in the eye. Everyone who saw this look shivered, and many of them had already long ago fled the scene. Biao continued to say, “Then everyone, pack your bags and get out of here this instant! Tomorrow, I’m going to tear this place down!”

When everyone saw that there was nothing else they could do about the situation, they decided to give up.

At that moment, Zhang Tao anxiously whispered, “Ran, why isn’t Uncle Meng here yet?” To that, Meng Ran replied, “I didn’t notify him about the situation yet.”

“Oh no.” Zhang Tao moaned.

When Meng Ran saw Zhang Tao look like he had just lost his soul, he smiled and said, “Zhang, that was the guy who caused Uncle Zhang’s rib injuries, right?”

Zhang Tao nodded his head, not understanding why Meng Ran brought this up.

Meng Ran, on the other hand, had already walked forward a few steps, leaving Zhang Tao with his back view.

Meng Ran said, “Then don’t blame me if I break all the bones in Biao’s body!”

When Zhang Tao heard those words, he finally reacted. Seeing Meng Ran march right up to Biao, he immediately turned as pale as a sheet of paper and said, “Ran, don’t bother. Please don’t fight him!”

Meng Ran acted like he didn’t hear him and didn’t turn his head around.

Biao saw that a student wanted to fight him next. He immediately turned to the crowd and accused, “You bunch of trash, you actually threw a student to his death! Watch me deal with him!”

Everyone lowered their heads in shame when they heard Biao’s words. They didn’t dare to even make a sound. Each said a silent prayer in their hearts for the young man about to march to his death.

Master Liu, who didn’t look like he was doing too good as he clutched his chest and vomited out blood, said in a hurry, “Kid, don’t you want your life anymore? He’s a martial artist at the internal arts Small Completion. He’ll beat you to death if you don’t watch out!”

Meng Ran pretended to not hear Master Liu’s words. Instead, he said to Biao, “You’re Biao and Ge Hongtao is your boss, right?”

Before Biao could say a word, the men backing Biao cursed at Meng Ran when they heard him call Boss Ge by his full name, “Stinking brat, who are you to call our Boss Ge by his full name?”

Meng Ran pointed his finger at the two hooligans that lay crippled on the ground whom he had dealt with earlier and said with a fake smile on his face, “Oh? It looks like you want to join their ranks, am I right?”

The expression on Biao’s face immediately shifted into one of astonishment. “You were the one who made them this way?”

Meng Ran nodded his head. He placed his hands into his pockets and tried to act casual. But to Meng Ran, dealing with these two punks was as easy-peasy as crushing an ant.

Seeing Meng Ran not denying anything, Master Liu was stunned. He thought to himself, ‘Could Meng Ran also be a martial cultivator? But as it turned out, Biao was an internal arts Small Completion martial cultivator. There’s no way Meng Ran could beat him. The odds were stacked against him now.

Suddenly, something occurred to Meng Ran, and he spoke with a strange expression on his face. “You’re called Biao. By any chance, is the Biao from Jiangzhou’s Xing Cheng District related to you?”

Biao saw how Meng Ran was bringing up his younger brother, and this made him think that Meng Ran knew his younger brother and wanted to use this connection to get close to him. His eyebrows were raised high on his forehead as he said, “He’s my younger brother. Why? Do you know him? Are you trying to use that to get close to me?”

When Biao said as much, his men instantly laughed out loud.

Even the surrounding audience members couldn’t help but sigh. Originally, they thought that this young man was brave enough to stand up for them, but now it looked like he was another coward wanting to just survive another day.

Meng Ran pretended to act harmless as he said, “Well, it doesn’t really matter, but just so you know, I just so happened to break all of his bones.”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately went into an uproar.
