Chapter 27 Riverside Dispute

Not long after Fang Wei and his three companions were blocked by the martial arts man, Zhang Wensan arrived with a group of people.

"This is outrageous! You four actually rescued my men. Guards, seize them and take them back!"

As soon as Zhang Wensan arrived, he demanded to arrest people without asking any questions. Who knows what would happen if they were arrested and taken back?

Upon hearing Zhang Wensan say that he was going to arrest someone, Fang Wei immediately prepared to step forward, but Zhang Nianwei was faster than Fang Wei.

"Zhang Wensan, what do you want? If you want to arrest someone, then come and try..."

"Oh, isn't this our Zhang family's wild girl? I didn't expect to see you here. You were the ones who saved that woman, right? Since you did, we're going to take you back with us," Zhang Wensan said arrogantly.

Hearing this, Fang Wei was very puzzled. Did he have some kind of grudge against the Zhang family in his past life? How come he kept running into them?

"You're harming ordinary people in broad daylight, and you still want to arrest us?" Fang Wei said.

"Commoners? Do you even know who she is? Now that you've rescued her, I have no choice but to take you back. Come on, do it."

As soon as Zhang Wensan finished speaking, the people behind him began to move.

The men Zhang Wensan brought were all skilled guards of the Zhang family; one was highly skilled in martial arts, and another was even a third-level general-level martial artist.

Seeing that the other party was going to make a move, Fang Wei shielded Zhang Nianwei behind him and prepared to fight back.

Zhang Nianwei was a refined scholar who had long been able to sense rhythm, but she did not know what the rhythm represented, so Fang Wei shielded her behind him.

Several martial artists quickly approached, and Fang Wei swiftly wrote the character "滚" (roll) in seal script. With a loud shout from Fang Wei, the charging martial artists were sent flying backward, rolling on the ground.

People who were nearby, preparing to rent boats and go sightseeing, suddenly heard a loud shout of "Get out!" and then saw that it seemed like there was a fight going on with Fang Wei and his group, so they gathered around.

When Zhang Wensan saw the martial artist flying backward and rolling on the ground, he was first surprised, then said, "So you are a refined scholar, no wonder, no wonder..." After saying that, Zhang Wensan gestured with his eyes to Li Ge, who had blocked his way earlier.

Li Ge understood and prepared to make his move.

At this moment, several scions of prominent families from the prefectural school also came to Zhang Wensan's side from the riverbank. When they saw Fang Wei on the other side, they all revealed gloating expressions.

One of them even whispered a few words in Zhang Wensan's ear.

After hearing this, Zhang Wensan's face showed an expression of disbelief, but it quickly turned into a sinister smile. He then said to Li Ge, "Teach that kid a good lesson. Don't stop until he begs for mercy."

Li Ge nodded in agreement.

Zhang Nianwei recognized the group of people who came to Zhang Wensan's side later. When she saw someone whispering in Zhang Wensan's ear, Zhang Nianwei knew something was wrong, and that proved to be true.

As a martial artist at the third level of the general rank, Li Ge was not afraid of a scholar at the law rank at all.

He took a few steps to reach Fang Wei and then made his move.

In front of Zhang Wensan, Li Ge did not hold back, but went straight for Fang Wei's chest, preparing to teach him a lesson as Zhang Wensan had requested.

Upon seeing Li Ge make a move, Fang Wei immediately wrote the character "防" (fang, meaning to defend) in seal script.

Li Ge did not expect Fang Wei to react so quickly; the character "防" was formed in just a breath.

Li Ge unleashed eighty percent of his strength, punching the defense. With a "crack," the defense was shattered.

While Li Ge attacked and defended, Fang Wei did not stop and continued writing. As the defense shattered, the character "dragon" took shape and transformed into a golden dragon one meter in size, attacking Li Ge.

Jinlong attacked Li Ge, and Fang Wei took the opportunity to retreat.

Seeing a golden dragon rushing towards him, Li Ge immediately dodged, but the golden dragon followed closely behind.

Li Ge dodged and weaved, but when he realized he couldn't escape, he turned around and threw a punch at Jinlong.

The golden dragon was struck and instantly disintegrated.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Fang Wei immediately wrote the character "dragon" again, this time using seal script instead of cursive script.

When written in seal script, its power is doubled.

After defeating Jinlong, Li Ge turned around and attacked Fang Wei.

The writing speed of seal script is half that of other scripts, and the character "dragon" was not yet formed when Li Ge attacked.

"don't want……"

"Little Wei..."

As Fang Wei was knocked away by Li Ge, Zhang Nianwei and Fang Yue shouted at the same time.

Fang Wei felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, the pain excruciating. Then, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he felt like he was about to vomit blood, but Fang Wei forced the blood back down despite the pain.

Zhang Wensan's orders were primarily to teach Fang Wei a lesson, so Li Ge did not pursue him after knocking him away, but waited for Zhang Wensan's orders.

"Clap clap clap, good, Li Ge did a great job, hahaha. A trashy level 1 scholar dares to provoke me, if I don't cripple you, no one will know who I am."

Seeing Fang Wei sent flying, Zhang Wensan felt a surge of satisfaction. Several other scions of prominent families also seized the opportunity to chime in.

"Thinking you're something just because you beat Zhang Fengyi? Humph, you're not just ignorant, you're a thick-skinned pig, hahaha."

"Exactly, he's trash, yet he acts all high and mighty all the time."

"Trash? I think it's worse than trash, hahaha."

Zhang Nianwei and Fang Yue, who were supporting Fang Wei, were furious when they heard the extremely offensive words from the other side.

Zhang Nianwei stepped forward, ready to retort, but Fang Wei stopped her.

A few shameless and ridiculous people, if we don't make you pay a price, you'll really think we're nothing.

Hmph, even if it were a dish, it wouldn't be something you could eat.

Fang Wei pulled Zhang Nianwei aside, whispered a few words in her ear, and then left.

Fang Wei endured the pain in his chest, lightly patted his clothes, and said, "You think you can defeat me with such a weak attack? You're just dreaming."

After speaking, Fang Wei stretched out his finger, beckoned, and said, "Come and hit me again."

Seeing that his opponent was unharmed and still so provocative, Zhang Wensan was furious and said, "Li Ge, break that kid's legs. I'll make him crawl from now on."

Li Ge was also surprised. He hadn't held back with his punch, yet the kid acted as if nothing had happened.

As soon as Zhang Wensan spoke, Li Ge unleashed his full power to attack Fang Wei.

As soon as Li Ge made a move, Fang Wei wrote again, using the same seal script.

Li Ge, exerting his full strength, moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Fang Wei in the blink of an eye.

A fist with a strong punch came flying at him, but Fang Wei did not move. Instead, he continued to write the character "dragon".

Just as Li Ge thought he was about to succeed and began a continuous attack, Zhang Nianwei behind Fang Wei let out a delicate shout, "Laugh!"

Hearing the sound, Li Ge was puzzled. What's so funny?

Before he could understand what was happening, Li Ge suddenly burst into laughter.

This smile caused Li Ge's attack to stop.

This was the crucial moment in the battle. After Li Ge's attack stopped, Fang Wei's dragon character immediately took shape.

Suddenly, the character "Dragon" transformed into a two-meter-long golden dragon, which attacked Li Ge.

When written in seal script, its power is doubled.

Li Ge was right next to him, and the dragon crashed into him less than half a breath after it appeared.

"Bang..." Before the sound of the impact had even faded, a "humph" was heard, and then Li Ge fell to the ground.

Zhang Wensan and several other scions of prominent families were thrilled when they saw Li Ge's attack about to land on Fang Wei.

Last time at the academy, Fang Wei defeated General Zhang Fengyi with his strength that was not at the Law level, thus embarrassing all the scions of aristocratic families.

Every scion of a prominent family wanted to find an opportunity to teach Fang Wei a lesson, but they never expected the opportunity to come so quickly.

I just knocked Fang Wei away and had a good verbal sparring session; it felt so good. If Li Ge can defeat Fang Wei again, then we can continue to have that verbal sparring session.

The group stared intently at Fang Wei, eager to see how he would beg for mercy.

But what's shocking is that we didn't see Fang Wei begging for mercy, but the image of Li Ge lying on the ground was unusually prominent.

Zhang Wensan and his companions were extremely frustrated. What happened to breaking their legs? What happened to just venting their anger?

The young men from powerful families, who had initially held high hopes and were eager to see a good show, felt utterly disgusted, as if they had swallowed flies. Fang Wei's luck was truly astounding; despite being a whole level below him, he was still standing perfectly fine.

"You bunch of chickens and dogs, I think you're the real pigs, trash. No, you're not even trash."

Upon hearing Fang Wei's words, the group gritted their teeth in anger, trembling all over, but their throats seemed to be blocked, and they couldn't utter a word.

As the person involved, Zhang Wensan was even more frustrated and angry.

Li Ge was one of the best guards in the Zhang family, and taking down Fang Wei, a level one law-level expert, would have been no problem for him. But at the crucial moment, Zhang Nianwei actually stepped in to help, joining outsiders to oppose the Zhang family.

"Hmph, Zhang Nianwei, how dare you team up with outsiders to deal with the Zhang family!" Zhang Wensan said angrily, pointing at Zhang Nianwei.

Hearing Zhang Wensan's words, Zhang Nianwei was furious. "You were the ones who disregarded other people's lives first, then bullied them, and now you won't even let us help? This is outrageous!"

"You were clearly in the wrong first, yet you still bullied people. I couldn't stand it, so of course I had to help."

"Good, very good..." Zhang Wensan felt he was about to explode, having never suffered such a loss in his life.

Just then, Li Ge stood up from the ground, preparing to attack Fang Wei again.

"Li Ge, kill them all..."

Li Ge was startled. The young man opposite him was a refined scholar, while Zhang Nianwei was a young lady of the Zhang family. Although she didn't have much status, she wasn't someone you could just kill at will.

Not knowing what to do, Li Ge could only stand there awkwardly.

Several scions of prominent families were startled when they heard Zhang Wensan say he was going to kill someone. The two men opposite him were refined scholars; they weren't people to be killed so easily. If something went wrong, with so many people watching, they wouldn't escape responsibility.

"Wen San, we can't just kill him like that..." Several scions of prominent families advised Zhang Wen San one after another.

Because of the powerful abilities and relatively small number of scholars, killing scholars is absolutely forbidden on the Yongping Continent.

Although Zhang Wensan was arrogant, domineering, and tyrannical, he wasn't stupid. After thinking it through, he naturally understood the gravity of the situation. With Zhang Nianwei's help, Fang Wei was no match for Li Ge; he would only be asking for trouble.

Unable to win a fight, and unable to kill, Zhang Wensan was consumed by rage, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

Just then, one of the scions of a prominent family whispered something in Zhang Wensan's ear, and Zhang Wensan's expression relaxed.

"A moron from the east side of the city? Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll let them off the hook for now. Once I find the idiot, they'll be in for a world of hurt."

"Yes. They can't escape. Isn't Zhang Nianwei and that kid on good terms? They'll be in for a beating."

Zhang Wensan looked at Zhang Nianwei and said fiercely, "Zhang Nianwei, I'll make you pay." After saying that, Zhang Wensan led Li Ge and a group of henchmen towards the riverbank.

Seeing Zhang Wensan leave after uttering those harsh words, Fang Wei felt powerless to do anything. The difference in their levels was too great; he definitely couldn't win in a fight. If he could achieve some success in cultivating the "Qi Movement Cloud Phenomenon Technique," he could then slaughter everyone in his path.

No matter what, he couldn't lose face, so Fang Wei shouted, "I'm waiting for you. If you don't come, you're a coward."

Fang Wei's words provoked several scions of prominent families, who glared at him fiercely before leaving on their own.

As Zhang Wensan walked towards the river, he was still somewhat displeased. Leaving so dejectedly was simply not in his nature.

Just then, Fang Wei's words came over, and Zhang Wensan turned to Zhang Nianwei and said, "You ungrateful brat, you'll get what's coming to you. And that kid over there, I won't let you get away with it either."

After Zhang Wensan finished speaking, he felt a sense of relief as he thought about what he was about to do, and then he took another step.
