One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 24 Battle
At eight o'clock in the evening, at Fengyun Mansion, the largest restaurant in Mingyuan City.

This is an ancient-style restaurant with five floors in total. It was built in the shape of a U-shaped structure. In the middle is the stage for performances. The first to fifth floors are built against the wall like a corridor, so that diners can all see the performances.

At this time, the entire Fengyun Mansion had been booked by Li Zong and was not open to the public.

Starting from six o'clock in the evening, a large number of young and strong men wearing black uniforms with blood-red fists embroidered on their chests entered Fengyun Mansion one after another.

These are the thugs from various branches of the Death Fist Club in Mingyuan City. They are responsible for protecting the Death Fist Club's casinos, black boxing rings and other black industries. At this time, they were all transferred to Fengyun Mansion by Li Zong, a total of nearly one or two hundred people!
This was the scene Su Ti saw when he followed Long Yuanzheng into Fengyun Mansion.

Li Zongda sat on the throne on the stage, facing the door. His two sons, one military and one literary, Li Mingsheng and Li Minggui, stood behind him.

Then, nearly one or two hundred young and strong fighters from the Death Fist Society on the first to fifth floors of Fengyun Mansion were staring at them.

They were either standing or sitting, all of them fixed their eyes on Long Yuanzheng and his group who had just entered, with fierce glares in their eyes, staring at them with eager eyes.

As soon as Long Yuanzheng and his group entered the door, they were given such a warning!

The men in black suits brought by Wang Gengyuan could not help but take a step back when they saw this scene as soon as they entered the room.

Yao Juan, Yan Jun, and Wang Gengyuan all had frowns on their faces, but Long Yuanzheng was the only one who looked calm. He walked towards Li Zong with his hands behind his back, and Su Ti followed behind him.

Long Yuanzheng walked up to Li Zong, sat on the armchair opposite Li Zong, and then spoke slowly.

"Li Zong, I'm here to ask you for an accusation today. You set up this scene because you think I, Long Yuanzheng, can't beat you anymore and you want to fight me?"

As soon as these words came out, an invisible aura burst out from Long Yuanzheng and rushed straight towards Li Zong.

That is murderous intent!
A person's strength can actually be judged to a large extent from the strength of his murderous intent.

The murderous intent of a warrior in the Suti Tongli period is enough to scare ordinary people and gangsters, let alone someone of Long Yuanzheng's level.

Long Yuanzheng's murderous intent was so violent and fierce, like a human-shaped beast. Li Zong, who was the first to be hit, suddenly became pale. Although Li Mingsheng and Li Minggui behind him were not the main targets, their faces turned pale.

Feeling the aura emanating from Long Yuanzheng, all the fighters from the Death Fist Club in Fengyun Mansion held their breath, and the vicious aura they had accumulated before instantly weakened to a tiny amount.

Feeling that the momentum of more than a hundred of his own people was suppressed by Long Yuanzheng alone, Li Zong was filled with both shock and anger.

He had never fought with Long Yuanzheng, but he didn't expect that the gap between the two of them was so big just in terms of momentum. He gave up the idea of ​​a head-on confrontation with Long Yuanzheng.

But he could not lose the battle even though he had lost the fight. With so many people watching, he naturally could not give in and lose face!
Li Zong slapped the chair, stood up and said angrily.

"Long Yuanzheng, your disciple killed my son, and you are still accusing me of the crime. This is simply too much!"

"If you don't hand over the murderer today, do you think you can still get out?!"

With a loud bang, the door of Fengyun Mansion was immediately closed by his men.

Swish swish!
Dozens of military-grade bows and crossbows were set up by the thugs, with red dots aimed at Long Yuanzheng and others.

Seeing this, Long Yuanzheng was not afraid, but laughed out loud.

"Li Zong, I think you are getting more and more confused as time goes by."

"You have only one foot in this realm, but you don't know the power of this realm?"

"If you pointed dozens of guns at me today, I would still frown. What do these dozens of toys mean? Stop being funny."

"If you want both you and your two sons to die here, let them do it."

As he spoke, Long Yuanzheng stretched out his hand, and his third senior brother Yan Jun immediately handed him a bottle of water. Long Yuanzheng opened the lid and drank the water without even looking at Li Zong and the others.

Li Zong clenched his fists, his eyes flickering. After a while, he shook his hand and asked the thugs behind him to put away the crossbows.

Long Yuanzheng was indeed a character. This kind of scene did not scare the opponent. On the contrary, after these two rounds of confrontation, he was completely defeated in terms of momentum. This scene also made Li Zong think of using the second plan.

The whole place was silent at this moment, even the thugs looked a little surprised and doubtful. They didn't believe that there was a human being strong enough to fight against a hundred people alone and resist dozens of crossbow arrows, but they were also shocked by Li Zong's surrender.

Sitting back in the chair, Li Zong pretended to take a deep breath without saying a word.

Long Yuanzheng also put down his teacup.

"Li Zong, if you don't say anything, I will speak."

"Your son Li Mingyuan arrested my apprentice twice. How do you want to settle this account?"

"My son is dead!"

Li Zong said angrily with red eyes. This emotion was not pretended but real.

Although Li Mingyuan was neither good at literature nor martial arts, he really doted on his youngest son.

"I know your son is dead, but you should first find out why your son died."

"If he behaves himself and doesn't cause any trouble, will he die?"

Li Zong remained silent.

When it comes down to it, he really is not in the right.

In order to increase the "ratings" of the death fighting match, Li Mingyuan created a gimmick of having a passerby contestant as a target and arrested people everywhere in Mingyuan City. More than a dozen people died within a month. All this pressure was borne by Li Mingyuan because these were ordinary people whose families had no power or influence and they had no place to speak out even if they were right.

But he caught Long Yuanzheng's apprentice.
"That boy was not your apprentice at that time."

Li Zong said stiffly, he has been involved in the underworld for decades, how could he be a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill?
He was very smart in his mind. He was not in the right in this matter. After the previous tests, Long Yuanzheng was determined to protect Su Ti. Long Yuanzheng's attitude was so tough that he had no other way to touch Su Ti except to fight to the death.

So now he is ready to give in, retreat in order to advance, and launch the second step of the plan.

Long Yuanzheng chuckled: "It wasn't then, but it is now. When Su Ti was attacked by Li Mingyuan's men for the second time, he had already joined my Longmen Martial Arts School. I brought the contract with me. Do you want to take a look?"

Li Zong's expression changed several times. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Master Long, it was wrong for my son to arrest your disciple, but he is dead now. What else do you want?"

Seeing Li Zong surrender so quickly, Long Yuanzheng was a little surprised. He had thought that with Li Zong's personality, he would have to do something more.

"Five million, as a consolation fee for my apprentice, and this matter will be written off."

"Okay, I'll give it to you!"

Li Zong was also a big shot. He accepted the responsibility without saying a word.

He waved his hand, and his subordinate beside him immediately handed over a bank card.

Long Yuanzheng didn't even look at it, waved his hand, and signaled Su Ti to take it.

Su Ti took the bank card, and Long Yuanzheng nodded secretly.

Although five million is not a lot for Dead Punch Club, or even a small amount, he is the only one who supports Longmen Martial Arts School nowadays. Although Li Zong cannot beat him, he has a big family and a big business, and the clash of forces between the two sides will eventually end in a fight to the death.

Therefore, he couldn't push Li Zong too hard.

These five million are an explanation to Suti, his apprentice, and also a sign of submission from the Death Fist Club. That is enough.

"Well, now that the matter has been resolved and we have accepted President Li's apology, this matter ends here and we will not keep it any longer. President Li, I will not see you off."

Having achieved his goal, Long Yuanzheng did not provoke Li Zong any more words and was about to take his men and leave.

"Master Long, please slow down."

Long Yuanzheng's eyes turned cold, he knew it wouldn't be that easy. He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was not Li Zong, but his son Li Mingsheng.

At this time, Li Mingsheng clasped his hands together and made a martial arts gesture.

"My brother was blind and offended the disciple of the Dragon Sect Master. He deserved to die, but..."

Li Mingsheng changed the subject, bowed slightly to Long Yuanzheng and spoke.

"I have heard of the reputation of Longmen Martial Arts School for a long time. I am also a martial artist. When practicing ancient martial arts for a long time, it is inevitable that one will feel itchy. I would like to have a sparring match with your beloved disciple. Would you do me the honor?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yuanzheng snorted coldly, without even looking at Li Mingsheng, and said to Li Zongdao.

"This matter is not over yet, right? Li Zong, before your son beats up my apprentice, how about we fight first?"

Li Zong laughed, a cold light flashed in his eyes. This was his second plan. Since he was not in the right in the previous matter, he would just leave it alone and look for trouble with Longmen again.

"How can I be a match for you, Lord Long? My son is challenging your disciple purely out of curiosity. It has nothing to do with any personal grudges. If your disciple doesn't want to accept, then forget it."

Li Mingsheng also spoke up immediately: "That's right. If your disciple doesn't want to accept my challenge, I won't force him. It's just that if it gets out that your Longmen Martial Arts School avoids fighting, it will have a bad reputation."

Long Yuanzheng sneered, "You two can both go and sing operas, and you want to provoke me with words? Listen to what you are saying first. How old are you, Li Mingsheng, and how many years have you practiced martial arts? My apprentice has only been a student for a few days? You challenge him?"

Yao Juan glared at him when she heard that. Li Mingsheng was already over thirty years old and had practiced martial arts for more than ten years, while Su Ti was not even twenty years old. Li Mingsheng actually had the nerve to challenge Su Ti, and he even said it was for personal grudges. If anyone knew about it, it would be laughable.

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight again, Li Minggui stepped out to smooth things over.

"Master Long, please forgive me for making fun of you. My brother has practiced martial arts for many years and is excited to see prey. Seeing that your disciple is so outstanding, he wanted to challenge you. It was indeed a bit ill-considered."

"but."

He also changed the subject.

"Since Master Long said that my brother's age doesn't match your disciple's, I have another boxer here who is younger than Brother Su, and I also want to compete with him."

Li Minggui stepped aside and a two-meter-tall bald man walked onto the stage. He was huge, with a scary purple tattoo on his chest. He looked at everyone with his white teeth showing and a simple and honest smile.

"This is our A-level fighter in the death fighting tournament. His name is Moshan. He is just sixteen years old this year, three years younger than your disciple. Brother Su will not be afraid to accept his challenge, right?"

The people at Longmen Martial Arts School looked at this person, whose body shape was almost the same as Yao Juan's, and their eyebrows jumped. They thought, what the hell is this Sixteen? !
Long Yuanzheng looked at Moshan for a few times and said expressionlessly.

"If I'm not mistaken, regardless of this boxer's age, his Kung Fu has already reached the internal training stage, and it seems that he has also practiced external Kung Fu, plus he has a strong innate physique. Our Suti has not yet entered the internal training stage, so we will not accept this challenge."

Li Minggui was not discouraged by the rejection, but instead showed a sneer on his face. The topic had already come to this point, and he had already prepared his remarks and various subsequent calculations.

If Su Ti doesn't accept the challenge today, this matter will spread throughout the entire ancient martial arts world of Nanjiang Province tomorrow!
Long Yuanzheng's top disciple didn't even dare to accept the challenge of a wild boxer who was three years younger than him. What kind of disciple was Long Yuanzheng still teaching? What kind of martial arts school was he opening?!

As for the fact that Suti has only been in the sect for a few days? No one cares about this. Three people make a tiger. There are more than three people in the Dead Fist Society. They have people and power!
Long Yuanzheng's power is not as great as theirs, so once he gets any handle, he will seize it and publicize it.

In the end, under the pressure of public opinion in the ancient martial arts world, Long Yuanzheng would either lose his reputation completely or have to let his apprentice come out to compete.

A person lives by his reputation, and this is especially true in the ancient martial arts world. To them, fame equals profit, and the name of a sect is not allowed to be stained by even the slightest bit of dust!

If you really encounter a challenge from someone, you have to go on stage and fight even if you can’t beat him, even if you die on the stage!

This is what it means when you enter the world, you have no choice!

Long Yuanzheng is also a veteran, and he saw this with a flicker in his eyes.

Li Zong took a step back to advance, and revealed the previous incident of Li Mingyuan kidnapping Su Ti. In the name of challenging Longmen martial arts, he once again made trouble for Su Ti. His purpose was to bypass the protection of Long Yuanzheng and wanted to kill Su Ti directly in a one-on-one challenge!

But he was helpless, he was alone. He could beat Li Zong, but he couldn't stop the gossip. The other party wanted to use the gossip to damage the reputation of Longmen Martial Arts School, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Unless Su Ti accepted the challenge, but Long Yuanzheng had never thought about such a thing, he would never push his apprentice away.

And at this moment, Su Ti, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"The Mountain, huh? I accept the challenge."
