Chapter 116 The Xiao Clan, who indulged their maternal relatives and ran rampant in the countryside
"What's going on? Why can't I get past him? Why can't I hit him?!"
The thugs' faces were filled with terror, their eyes showing disbelief, and their words were laced with horror. The weapons they were already brandishing were still being swung around under their control.
The final result was predictable; it still had no effect whatsoever.
Helian Yun Shen unfolded his folding fan, gently fanning himself as he stroked his chin, deep in thought.
After a while,
"Currently, it's quite useful for these third-rate people, but I wonder what would happen if we improved them further?"
Having said that, Helian Yun Shen took a step forward.
He closed the folding fan in his hand, and it was just a wave of his hand.
The gust of wind from the folding fan struck these people, instantly causing them to vomit blood and fly several meters away.
It knocked over some people's stalls.
It was half-dead when it landed on the ground.
"Thank you so much, young hero, for saving my life!"
The respectable woman behind him bowed to Helian Yun Shen to express her gratitude, her eyes fixed on Helian Yun Shen as if she were attracted by his graceful and agile figure.
However, she was also self-aware enough to know that she was not good enough for him.
So it was just a fantasy in his mind, and he didn't show any improper thoughts in reality.
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning!"
Without turning his head, he uttered those words and left.
Back at the inn
Upon witnessing this scene, the innkeeper approached Helian Yun Shen and offered a reminder:
"Young hero, you've really gotten yourself into big trouble."
"What crime has been committed? What calamity has been caused?"
These words confused Helian Yun Shen. It was clearly a normal act of punishing evil and promoting good, so how could it be a disaster? And what kind of great power could these thugs have behind them?
Moreover, they are the kind of people you can't afford to mess with.
"This young scoundrel is no ordinary thug! His sister married His Majesty's uncle as a concubine, and that's His Majesty's uncle!"
"It's precisely because of this identity that he can run rampant here, committing all sorts of evil deeds. You've beaten him to this state; he'll definitely bring his men to retaliate."
The shopkeeper was a kind man, and seeing Helian Yun Shen's confusion, he patiently explained the background and power of the local thugs. Hearing this explanation, Helian Yun Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought it was some untouchable force, but it turned out to be the emperor's uncle. He could afford to offend him. Even if he went to this so-called uncle's house and beat him half to death, Emperor Tai'an would still tell himself it was a good thing.
"Then I'll just wait here for the so-called person to come."
She smiled and spoke confidently to the shopkeeper.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper could only sigh and say nothing more. He returned to his counter, no longer caring about Helian Yun Shen's life or death. He had already given all the reminders he could.
Since the young hero insisted on doing this, he couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry, innkeeper. I won't damage your inn, and I won't involve you."
"That's good."
The shopkeeper only uttered these three words.
He then stopped talking to Helian Yunshen.
Sitting in the inn
Sipping ordinary tea, he gently fanned himself with a folding fan, quietly waiting for the person seeking revenge to arrive.
I waited from morning until noon, and from noon until afternoon.
As evening approached,
The so-called avenger has finally arrived.
The young scoundrel's face was swollen like a pig's head. When he saw Helian Yun Shen, he raised his hand and pointed repeatedly, saying things like, "That's him, that's who he is."
The men he had summoned entered the inn, intending to attack Helian Yun Shen. The innkeeper, seeing this, hid behind the counter in fear.
He put down the teacup in his hand.
He closed the folding fan again and looked up at the people.
next moment
His figure moved like lightning; all others could see was a blur as he slid through the inn.
Upon seeing Helian Yunshen's figure
Those who had just entered the inn had already been driven out by Helian Yun Shen, who was now carrying the young scoundrel he had beaten up that morning.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? If anything happens to me, you'll regret it."
Even at this point, he still seemed to have failed to grasp the situation. He was still spouting arrogant and threatening words, trying to use the power behind him to intimidate Helian Yun Shen.
And upon hearing these,
Helian Yun Shen's face was devoid of any smile, his eyes revealing endless coldness, and he remained silent.
He raised his hand and placed his folding fan on the man's arm.
They broke his arm directly, and the intense pain caused him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"You've already lost an arm, what can you do to me now?"
He asked him in a very calm voice.
As he went out of the inn to ask questions, he saw that the guys who had been beaten out by Helian Yun Shen were lying on the ground, half-dead. How could these worthless guys who hadn't even stepped into the martial arts world be his opponents?
It's already a sign of my mercy that I didn't kill them all in one go.
"I advise you to let him go, otherwise if Madam Liu speaks to the Prince, he won't let you off the hook."
Seeing that Helian Yun Shen had no intention of releasing the person, the guards from the Prince's mansion reminded him. This reminder only intensified the coldness on Helian Yun Shen's face; he had originally intended to make a mocking gesture.
At this moment, all thoughts of mockery vanished. He simply exerted force and snapped the young scoundrel's neck.
He threw the young scoundrel's body on the ground like a dead dog, took two quick steps to the guard of the royal palace, and kicked him in the chest.
The kick crushed his chest, leaving him half-dead and on the verge of death.
"I've already killed him. I'd like to know what your so-called prince intends to do to me?"
“I… uh…”
Before he could finish a sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood, before he could utter a second word.
He couldn't catch his breath and immediately passed out with his eyes glazed over.
Upon seeing this, Helian Yun Shen lifted his leg, turned around to look at the remaining guards, and questioned them.
"Can any of you tell me what your so-called prince can do to me?"
No one dared to give an answer to such questions. Those lying on the ground dared not speak, fearing that they would die in the end.
Seeing that none of these people were saying anything,
Helian Yun Shen was too lazy to continue asking questions. He walked over to one of them, looked down at him with disdain and contempt, and spoke to him.
"Take me to see your so-called prince. Do as you say and I'll live; don't, and you'll die."
