On the street.
"Before you make a move, may I ask who sent you here?" Wang Yi looked at the Three Tyrants across from him and asked.
"Hmph, no one sent us. It's your arrogance that brought us here, daring to claim you have never lost," Scarface stepped forward, the ground shaking as if a mountain was moving.
"No one?" Wang Yi frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Watch my fist," Scarface didn't want to waste words with Wang Yi and launched a powerful punch straight at Wang Yi's chest. The air shattered with a sound like a crow cawing, creating an eerie noise.
"Sigh, this guy is finished."
"Yeah, why provoke anyone else when he had to provoke the Three Tyrants?"
Martial artists on the street stopped to watch, discussing among themselves.
Hearing this, Wang Yi stood firm like a tall pine tree, unaffected by the fierce wind generated by Scarface and Fist Force, his clothes billowing without any wind.
"Too slow." A cold voice rang in Scarface's ear. Startled, Scarface saw a blurry figure rushing towards him.
"What?" Scarface felt a blur before his eyes as a shadow passed by. It was as if dusk had enveloped his vision; he felt a sharp pain in his back and, with a loud bang, his body collapsed to the ground like a mountain crumbling.
Hiss!
The crowd gasped in shock. They never expected that with Scarface's strength at the second level of Earth Spirit Realm, he would be no match for Wang Yi in a single exchange.
"This person is so powerful; no wonder he dares to claim he has never lost."
Scarface coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, using his palm to support himself as he slowly got up. Armored Man hurried over to help him, concerned, "Third Brother, are you alright?"
"Ouch." Scarface cried out in pain, taking a deep breath, his old face flushed with shame as he said to the bearded man, "Big Brother, I lost."
"You hurt my Third Brother; I'll take care of you." Armored Man was about to strike when the bearded man shouted, "Stop."
"Big Brother," Armored Man called out urgently.
"You are no match for this young man; let me handle it." The bearded man said.
"Second Brother, Big Brother is right; this guy is too powerful." Scarface glanced at Wang Yi with fear in his voice. That feeling was still vivid in his mind; with his second-level cultivation, he had no power to resist in front of this person. He hadn't even seen how the attack was executed; it was simply too fast.
Armored Man mumbled a few words and looked at Wang Yi with indignation before stepping aside.
"Gentlemen, this is truly a misunderstanding; I think we should just let it go!" Wang Yi said.
"This has nothing to do with misunderstandings. My three brothers have been in Rong City for many years and have never suffered such a loss. There’s no need for more words; let’s fight!" The bearded man waved his hand decisively.
"Please." Seeing the bearded man's determination, Wang Yi could only respond helplessly. This man was slightly stronger than Scarface and Armored Man, being a fourth-level warrior of the Earth Spirit Realm.
"Big Brother, be careful; this guy is very fast." Scarface noticed that Wang Yi remained still like before and thought he was about to use the same move again, so he hurriedly warned.
The bearded man remained silent but felt a sense of dread towards Wang Yi. That punch from Wang Yi had been incredibly fast; even he couldn't dodge it. However, he had to step up; otherwise, the reputation of the Rongcheng Three Bullies would become a laughingstock.
Seeing that Wang Yi showed no intention of attacking, the bearded man felt anger rising within him. He thought this person was arrogant and shouted loudly. With a push of his feet, his massive body shot forward like a human-shaped mech. His fists swung wildly, cracking through the air as he launched a fierce assault.
A serious look flashed in Wang Yi's eyes. This type of attack was something he had never seen before, but that didn't mean he was unaware of the power of this Fist Technique.
The Fist Technique is a method of concentrating all the body's strength into the fist as the striking point, utilizing impact to unleash all that power. This is a technique meant to defeat the enemy with a single blow; however, if the opponent is not defeated, and they manage to react, it will be oneself who faces defeat.
If the bearded man knew Wang Yi's thoughts, he would surely be shocked, for he was indeed thinking this way himself. Aware that he was no match for Wang Yi, he decided to use his strongest attack, so that even in defeat, it wouldn't be too humiliating.
When their fists collided, the sound of Gold Iron striking echoed out, and the surrounding air was torn apart, creating endless waves of force. The two men’s clothes billowed and rustled violently.
The surrounding warriors were momentarily blinded by the shockwave and instinctively closed their eyes. But when they heard a sound and the shockwave dissipated, they saw the bearded man kneeling on one knee, his right hand pressed against the stone floor, his face pale. He let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you for your mercy," Wang Yi said with cupped fists.
"Big brother," Scarface and Armored Man rushed to help the bearded man up, saying, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," the bearded man said cautiously as he glanced at Wang Yi. He cupped his fists and continued, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for showing mercy. This time it was our three brothers' fault; I hope Brother Wang can forgive us."
The address changed from brothers to Brother Wang, indicating that only a strong person can earn respect from others. Wang Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "As the saying goes, one must fight to get acquainted. If you three don’t mind, shall we share a drink here?"
The three men exchanged glances and laughed heartily, saying, "Sure! Please lead the way, Brother Wang."
Then all four entered the inn together.
Upon seeing Wang Yi and his companions return, the fat innkeeper wore a face that looked more sorrowful than joyful. Struggling to force a smile onto his face, he spoke with a quivering voice, "May I ask what else you gentlemen need?"
Wang Yi smiled knowingly at the innkeeper's thoughts. He took out some silver coins from his pocket and tossed them onto the counter, saying, "Prepare us a private room and set up a table with good food and wine. I want to drink with these three brothers."
"Ah!" The fat innkeeper was taken aback but then filled with joy. He tucked the silver coins into his pocket; his mournful expression instantly transformed into a beaming smile that blossomed like a flower. "Good! Good! Good! Please wait a moment; I will bring the food and drinks right away." He then shouted at the stunned servant standing nearby, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take these gentlemen upstairs!"
"Yes." Si was momentarily taken aback and quickly bowed, saying, "Please follow me, gentlemen."
Si led the four of them into an exquisite private room, beautifully decorated. The crimson tables and chairs added a touch of luxury, and the atmosphere was filled with joy, instantly washing away much of the earlier displeasure.
After a moment, the food and drinks were served, the aroma wafting pleasantly, and the strong scent of alcohol made one forget the taste of food.
The four of them chatted for a while and learned that the bearded man was named Sun Meng, the Armored Man was called Sun Shan, and Scarface was known as Sun Ba, all local men from Rong City.
Wang Yi picked up the wine jug and filled a cup for the Three Tyrants, then poured one for himself. He smiled and said, "I apologize for any offense earlier; I hope you three brothers can forgive me." He drank it all in one go, leaving not a drop behind.
The Three Tyrants exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat awkward. After hesitating for a moment, they raised their cups together and said, "We three brothers may not understand much about etiquette, but Brother Wang treats people well; we truly feel ashamed. Cheers!" They finished their drinks in one gulp.
Initially, the three brothers were a bit nervous when Wang Yi invited them to drink. After all, in this world, strength is revered. They had initially provoked Wang Yi, but now he not only seemed unfazed but also treated them to drinks, which made them feel somewhat ashamed.
"There’s no need for you three brothers to blame yourselves; as the saying goes, 'No fight means no acquaintance.' Meeting is fate," Wang Yi said with delight and laughed heartily. He had his own purpose in inviting the Three Tyrants to drink: to find out who had leaked information about him. He believed someone in Rong City was plotting against him, so he planned to extract useful information from the Three Tyrants to prepare accordingly.
"Indeed! Brother Wang is truly a young master among experts; I feel embarrassed," Sun Ba said with a look of shame.
"Wang Yi does not deserve such praise; in fact, I really don’t know when I gained such a great reputation," Wang Yi replied with a smile.
Sun Meng exchanged glances with the other two and fell silent for a moment. Having lived in Rong City for many years, they were not ordinary people and could sense that there was more to Wang Yi's words.
"Are you implying that you are not some Sect Young Master?" Sun Meng asked cautiously.
"I am a disciple of Kaiyang Sect, but I feel unworthy of being called Young Master," Wang Yi laughed.
"Ah! Damn it! So Brother Wang is a disciple of Kaiyang Sect! No wonder you’re so formidable; I lost without regret!" Sun Meng laughed heartily while scratching his head.
"Brother Wang, have you had a falling out with one of the Three Great Families?" Sun Meng asked, his brow relaxing in confusion.
"I just arrived in Rong City; how could I have made an enemy?" Wang Yi replied with a calm smile, considering Sun Meng to be the most important among the three.
"That's strange," Sun Meng said, puzzled. "Rong City has the Three Great Families: the He Family in the east, the Su Family in the west, and the Zhang Family in the south. These three families control over three-quarters of the shops and mines within Rong City's jurisdiction, their wealth is immense, and their power is formidable."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi pondered for a long time, then felt a spark of realization. "Brother Sun, could you tell me more about the Su Family?"
"The head of the Su Family is named Su Zhe, and he has two sons named Su Hai and Su Ming," Sun Shan casually replied. After a moment of thought, he suddenly fixed his gaze on Wang Yi and said, "Ah, Brother Wang, you haven't offended the Su Family, have you?"
Wang Yi's lips curled into a bitter smile as everything became clear. It turned out that this information was leaked by the Su Hai Brothers. He rubbed his nose and said, "I do have some entanglements with the Su Hai Brothers."
"What?" Sun Shan exclaimed in surprise. "Brother Wang, as far as I know, among the Su Brothers, Su Ming is treacherous and cunning. His methods are cruel; anyone who offends him meets a terrible fate. If you truly have offended him, I advise you to leave Rong City quickly and return to Kaiyang Sect."
"Brother Wang is right; you should leave Rong City immediately. It will be too late if you wait," Sun Ba added.
"I'm afraid it may already be too late. Since they have spread rumors, I believe they must already know that I am here in Rong City," Wang Yi said with a heavy tone. He thought to himself, "If only I could eliminate these brothers, perhaps today’s troubles would not exist."
"Brother Wang is correct; I suspect the Su Brothers have secretly stationed people around this Fortune Inn. Every move you make will not escape their eyes," Sun Meng said with a furrowed brow, taking a deep breath. "However, Brother Wang, you are not in immediate danger for now; after all, this is Rong City. The most powerful entity here is not the Three Great Families but the city lord himself, so they wouldn't dare to be too arrogant."
