Chapter 65 Chapter 65 The Willow Branches Again!
This move directly stunned Brother Ming; another bodyguard also widened his eyes in shock. After snapping back to reality, he immediately swung his fist, attempting to take down Xia Liu.
The sudden chaos brought the dancing men and women to a halt, as they all focused their attention on the skirmish happening before them.
To call it a skirmish might be an exaggeration; dealing with bodyguards of this level was a piece of cake for Xia Liu, who hadn't even need to exert much force before the opponent collapsed.
But Sanhe Bar was no ordinary place; as the headquarters of the Knife God Association, anyone causing trouble here would be met with a mob of hundreds of gangsters.
Sure enough, after tossing aside two bodyguards, the music at the venue stopped, and numerous youths carrying machetes rushed in from all directions at breakneck speed.
"Haha, this is going to be good!"
"Daring to cause trouble at Sanhe Bar, that's practically the ultimate death wish!"
"Wow! That guy is so handsome. As long as he can walk out of here unscathed, I'll definitely go to a hotel with him!"
"Unscathed? As long as he can walk out alive, I'll take care of him for life!"
As dozens of gang members surrounded Xia Liu, the young men and women at the scene started buzzing with excitement.
Some were envious, others sneering. Up to now, those who dared to stir trouble at Sanhe Bar could be counted on one hand, and the troublemakers were either crippled or vanished completely.
Everyone there was aware of the terror of the Knife God Association, and Brother Ming had already been scared stiff.
He thought Xia Liu would come over to talk things out peacefully, but who could have expected such direct hostility?
This was Sanhe Bar, after all; those who dared to cause trouble here shouldn't dream of leaving alive...
Xia Liu was unimpressed, scanning the vicinity, he noticed not a single one of them was of any notable strength. To be honest, he wouldn't have bothered lifting a finger under normal circumstances. Your next journey awaits at empire
"I don't want to get violent. Hand over Zhao Baoliang and I'll pretend I've never been here," Xia Liu demanded with an assertive tone amidst the crowd and blades.
"Crap! You think this is an amusement park? Dare to make trouble and don't expect a peaceful exit!" a young man wielding a knife said arrogantly.
"Adults are talking; kids shouldn't interrupt. Call your manager out. I don't want to repeat myself."
"Oh, feisty! You think you're impressive just because you've hit a couple of bodyguards?" Right after Xia Liu spoke, a middle-aged man emerged from the crowd. His appearance was one people wouldn't forget easily, not particularly tall, with a strikingly lifelike wolf's head tattoo on his forehead, which was chilling to behold.
"Brother Wolf Fang, take him down!"
"Take him down!"
The underlings of Knife God Association called out excitedly upon seeing Wolf Fang.
"Xia Liu, this Wolf Fang is the Knife God Association's vice president, extremely formidable, capable of taking on ten men by himself!" Originally, Brother Ming wanted to hide, but Xia Liu had already fought others for Gu Fangxia's safety. If he just stood there doing nothing, he wouldn't be fit to be an employee of Gu Fangxia.
"Wolf Fang? Dog Fang seems more like it, but well, as long as you can talk," Xia Liu scoffed dismissively before saying, "Dog Fang, you know Zhao Baoliang, don't you? Bring him to me within a minute."
"What? I didn't catch that, say it again."
It wasn't just Wolf Fang who was astonished; everyone present was shocked. Xia Liu dared to speak to the vice president of the Knife God Association like that—it was practically the prelude to a death-seeking frenzy!
"I said, fuck you!" Xia Liu couldn't stand those who thought too highly of themselves like Wolf Fang. He roared in rage, his figure moved instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Wolf Fang.
Then, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, he grabbed Wolf Fang's neck and hoisted him high into the air: "Did you hear me clearly now?"
At this moment, Wolf Fang's pupils shrank abruptly, and it wasn't until a feeling of being suspended in air overwhelmed him that he regained his senses.
Suddenly, a suffocating sensation erupted violently, and an inexplicable fear enveloped his body and soul, filling him with extreme terror.
Wolf Fang had never encountered such an expert before, not even the Association Leader could match this young man's strength, and he could sense that with just a slight movement of Xia Liu's hand, he would be dead beyond any doubt.
The scene was deathly silent, and everyone could clearly hear the rapid, pounding heartbeat of Wolf Fang.
"Young man, please, don't do anything rash," Wolf Fang managed to say in the face of death.
"Tell me, is Zhao Baoliang here!"
Xia Liu roared, his voice cutting through the entire bar, turning everyone's face pale.
At that moment, standing in front of a glass mirror on the second floor, Zhao Baoliang trembled uncontrollably.
Next to Zhao Baoliang, a beautiful woman with flushed cheeks was staring dumbfounded at the figure below, who, like a Martial God, was effortlessly lifting a man with one hand.
This woman was none other than Gu Fangxia. She had come here today at Zhao Baoliang's request and had drunk some alcohol.
The issue of the final payment had dragged on for months. She couldn't bear to see the workers suffer; hence, she decided to give in completely, agreeing to Zhao Baoliang's terms to accompany him for half a month to get the money.
So, she chose to comply, hoping only that the workers would receive their wages.
The appearance of Xia Liu utterly disrupted her plan. She was certain that it was her first time seeing Xia Liu. If it weren't for Brother Ming being with Xia Liu, she wouldn't have thought twice about it.
"Well done, Gu Fangxia, you dare to seek out a practitioner! Do you think you'll succeed? This is Sanhe Bar, the headquarters of the Knife God Association!" After trembling in shock for a moment, Zhao Baoliang came back to his senses and immediately pulled out his phone to make a call.
He and the Leader of the Knife God Association were good friends. Now that Xia Liu had singled him out, causing trouble here, how could the Leader possibly let him off!
Gu Fangxia didn't say a word. She was very much looking forward to seeing Xia Liu's next move; if he could handle this situation, she would be saved!
Inside the hall, Xia Liu put Wolf Fang down. He had come to find Gu Fangxia, not to kill.
Wolf Fang sat on the ground, utterly soulless, as the surrounding underlings dared not approach him.
Clang!
No one knew who dropped their knife first, but the clang startled everyone, and then a series of knives began to fall to the ground.
The underlings were petrified, Xia Liu's skills were too terrifying. They were usually brave only because of their numbers, but faced with a tough challenge, they wilted instantly.
The onlookers around were gasping in shock; a man their own age was taking on the entire Knife God Association, compelling them even to drop their weapons—the news was explosive.
"Who dares to make trouble at the Knife God Association!" Right then, a sharp voice echoed from the staircase downward.
"Brother Liu, that fat man is Zhao Baoliang!" As Zhao Baoliang's arrogant shouting resounded, Brother Ming immediately yelled out.
Initially, he hadn't had much confidence, but after seeing Xia Liu's skills, he was full of confidence. Even if the negotiation failed, there wouldn't be much danger.
"Dammit, it's Liu Xia!" Xia Liu followed Brother Ming's gaze, and a rush of mixed emotions flooded his heart. Even though the lighting was dim, he froze in place, his eyes fixated on Gu Fangxia standing at the doorway on the second floor.
Gu Fangxia was wearing a short cheongsam that just covered her knees, but with a high slit—and because of the angle, looking up from below, he saw that inside the cheongsam were thigh straps making his blood race!!!
