Restaurant Brawl

"Good, good, good."

Seeing this, Wang Mu helplessly took a napkin from his breast pocket and wiped his mouth. "Then let me explain why I crippled your little brother."

He crossed one leg over the other. "Not only did he steal other people's spoils in the Hunting Zone, he even tried to grope a young girl.

Anyone with a conscience would have stopped him, right? But that guy actually had the nerve to try and hit me."

Wang Mu spread his hands. "I couldn't exactly just not fight back, could I? Who would've thought he was so weak? So useless, yet so arrogant. Sigh, I really don't get it."

The moment he finished speaking.

Chen Tao, the leader of the group, suddenly threw a punch at Wang Mu's face.

Wang Mu, who had been sitting with one leg crossed over the other, abruptly changed.

He raised a hand and blocked the young man's fist.

But the immense force still sent him flying.

He crashed through the bar beside him with a thunderous bang.

Yet he emerged from the wreckage completely unharmed.

"Brother, throwing hands over a disagreement, and inside someone else's restaurant at that—isn't that a little too unruly?"

Wang Mu glared at the young man with an ugly expression.

"Rules? I've got plenty of money!!"

Chen Tao cursed and was about to call for his men to attack.

But he suddenly felt a hand settle on his shoulder, while someone behind him spoke up.

"Plenty of money? Hey, you three knocked over my meal. It cost thirteen hundred in total. Pay up first."

"Pay your mother!"

The burly young man instantly flew into a rage and swung backward.

He did not even bother looking to see who was behind him.

If that brutal slap had struck an ordinary person.

They would have been severely injured and crippled even if they survived!

Bang!

But the burly young man had not expected it.

His slap was caught outright!

Chen Tao only felt a tremendous force seize his arm.

He turned around in surprise, only to see a fist the size of a sandbag driving straight toward his face.

Thud!

With a dull impact.

Chen Tao did not even have time to groan before his head snapped back and he collapsed.

He was unconscious.

"Fuck!"

The two Chen Family brothers beside him saw this.

They immediately attacked Xu Qing in a rage.

But Wang Mu, behind them, lit up at the sight and moved.

Like a violent gust of wind, he drove a punch toward the back of one Chen Family youth's head.

He went straight for a vital point without the slightest hesitation!

"Take this guy down first!"

Seeing this, the two men instantly gave up on Xu Qing.

Together, they surrounded Wang Mu.

Xu Qing took the opportunity to withdraw from the fight and stood to one side, frowning at the unconscious Chen Tao on the ground.

He hesitated over whether to go over and touch him.

But when he spotted several cameras installed in the restaurant.

He dismissed the thought.

This was not some unattended place on the outskirts of the county.

He needed to be careful when making a move.

While Xu Qing was thinking, the battle among the three grew increasingly fierce.

Xu Qing stood nearby and watched with interest.

He could use this chance to get a sense of the standard of martial artists in a big city.

Wang Mu was very strong, and his attacks were extremely sharp.

His fists and kicks lacked any set form, but they were "fast, accurate, and ruthless."

None of the three used weapons, yet Wang Mu still held the upper hand against two opponents.

"Heh, I thought you guys might actually have some skills. Turns out this is all you've got?" Wang Mu continued provoking them even as he fought.

The Chen Family brothers' faces immediately darkened. One of them suddenly drew a short sword from behind his waist, intending to sneak an attack on Wang Mu amid the fight.

Wang Mu's vision was blocked by the other man, so he did not see the short sword.

Xu Qing naturally had to stop such shameless behavior.

"Hey, isn't using a weapon going too far?" he shouted unhappily.

Wang Mu and that man's expressions changed at the same time.

"Despicable!" Wang Mu shouted as he retreated.

"Mind your own business!" the Chen youth cursed, thrusting his sword at Wang Mu.

Thanks to Xu Qing's warning, the sword thrust missed completely.

Wang Mu took the chance to retreat, grabbed an iron table leg from the ground, and fought the young man with it.

But how could the table leg in his hand compare to the short sword in that man's hand?

It was chopped into several pieces in two strikes.

For a moment, Wang Mu was forced back again and again by the short sword.

The other Chen youth turned to look at Xu Qing. "You're courting death!"

With a swish.

He also pulled a dagger from behind his waist and pounced at Xu Qing like a tiger.

Xu Qing's face darkened. This had started as an ordinary brawl, yet these people were trying to kill?

Xu Qing took two swift steps back.

Dodging the dagger in the youth's hand.

"This is a public place. Are you insane!?"

Xu Qing frowned as he questioned him.

He was not familiar with the rules of the base city.

He had thought this place would be relatively rational and civilized.

Yet this man was trying to kill in public.

It genuinely shocked him.

Were big cities really this wild?

"So what if it's a public place? If I kill you, it'll just be Self-Defense!"

The Chen youth seemed amused by Xu Qing's innocence.

With a sneer, he lunged again.

But he had not expected.

That after hearing him say that, Xu Qing smiled.

"Oh, so Self-Defense is allowed. You should've said so earlier."

Xu Qing moved like a deer darting through the woods.

Easily evading the young man's dagger.

Then his feet shifted, and like a ghost, he slipped behind the man.

He lightly raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, then chopped down in an instant.

Bang!

Splitting Fist!

The Chen youth's eyes rolled back, and Xu Qing's punch sent him crashing to the ground.

He cried out in pain and struggled to roll back up from the ground.

Then, without hesitation, he hurled the dagger in his hand at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. Killing intent surged within him as he raised a hand and caught the dagger directly.

Then he flung it hard.

Pfft!

Like a streak of light, the dagger shot straight into the young man's throat.

The Chen youth clutched his neck, gradually losing his breath amid the pain.

Xu Qing sighed softly.

Those who kill will eventually be killed.

He had brought this upon himself.

"Chen Fei!" The remaining man saw this and was instantly overcome with shock and fear.

But that brief distraction gave Wang Mu an opening. He punched the man directly in the temple.

Though the young man reacted quickly enough to raise a hand and block it, he was still struck by the force. His body staggered, and it was obvious that he was dizzy and disoriented.

Wang Mu caught up to him and drove a vicious flying knee into him, sending him flying.

He slammed into the wall and smashed through a concrete partition.

Then he coughed up blood and lost his breath.

"Brother, thanks."

Only then did Wang Mu turn to Xu Qing and smile.

Then, under Xu Qing's astonished gaze.

He walked straight over to the unconscious eldest Chen brother and kicked him flying.

Ruthlessly taking the man's life.

Xu Qing's eyelids twitched at the sight.

This man was no saint either.

He would not even spare someone who was already unconscious.

Maybe he was trying to avoid future trouble?

This place looked prosperous, but it was even more dangerous than the county town.

He gained a new understanding of the base city.

Before long, a series of police sirens sounded outside.

Several police cars quickly pulled up in front of the restaurant.

When a group of fully armed police officers rushed in, Wang Mu merely pulled an ID from his clothes and tossed it to one of the officers.

After looking at it, the officer immediately saluted Wang Mu.

"Sir, please explain what happened here."

Only then did Xu Qing realize that this guy was an official.

No wonder. He had really thought the base city was lawless.
