The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 256: Receiving the Heavenly Saber Association

As Ye Chenfeng’s hand clasped the neck of the last youth, over a dozen men emerged from the Glorious Bar, led by a burly man with a deep scar on his left cheek. Frowning at the bodies of the red-haired youth and others lying on the ground, he said, "May I ask, brother, where did the Heavenly Saber Association offend you? I am Lu Jiang, the person in charge of the Glorious Bar. You should release your grip first, this is after all the territory of the Heavenly Saber Association, and no matter how skilled you are, it’s useless here."

"Crack, crack," the response to Lu Jiang were two crisp sounds of neck bones breaking. Ye Chenfeng flung the youth in his grasp to the side, dusted off his hands, and then turned his icy gaze to Lu Jiang, saying coldly, "These scum deserved to die. Don’t think that the Heavenly Saber Association can cover the sky with one hand in Yun City. Did you or did you not send men to the snack street to kill the owner of the wonton stall?"

If this Lu Jiang had a part in it as well, Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t mind sending him to meet the King of Hell too.

"What nonsense is this? It seems you’re simply looking for trouble," Lu Jiang’s forehead veins throbbed with anger. Collecting protection money from the snack stalls was merely the act of his underling, the red-haired youth, and others. After all, Lu Jiang was the person in charge of the Glorious Bar, and the bar was a branch of the Heavenly Saber Association. Did Lu Jiang really need such petty protection fees from a snack stall? So to him, what Ye Chenfeng was saying was utterly absurd.

The red-haired youth was just one of Lu Jiang’s minor leaders and didn’t earn much throughout the year. Collecting protection fees from the snack stalls allowed them to splurge for several days.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, "Fortunately, you have nothing to do with this matter, or else I would have had to send you to meet King Yama. Now, take me to the main headquarters of the Heavenly Saber Association."

Arrogance!

It was undisguised arrogance!

"Brother Lu, is this kid’s brain damaged? I have never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant in front of Brother Lu! I think he’s just asking for death."

"People who offend the Heavenly Saber Association usually end up with no good fate. Brother Lu, let’s take care of this ignorant fool! We don’t need you to lift a finger to deal with this trash."

...

Uncontrollable laughter of "haha" erupted from the throats of the dozen or so stout men behind Lu Jiang. These were Lu Jiang’s trusted men, who aside from Lu Jiang himself, couldn’t be commanded by anyone else at the Glorious Bar. Their skills were not to be compared with ordinary members of the Heavenly Saber Association.

With a grand wave of his hand, Lu Jiang said, "You don’t need to leave any survivors for me, just send this bastard who dares to cause trouble at the Glorious Bar straight to paradise."

The dozen stout men threw their fists toward Ye Chenfeng, thinking that if Ye Chenfeng could defeat the red-haired youth and the others all by himself, it was nothing impressive, as they could do the same.

Ye Chenfeng released his seventh level Soul Force. The dozen or so brawny men swinging their fists suddenly froze, as if a great force was pressing down on them, rendering them completely immobile.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." As Ye Chenfeng increased the intensity of his Soul Force, the stout men felt as if a mountain was weighing them down. Unable to withstand this force, they all fell to the ground one after another.

Without lifting so much as a finger, Ye Chenfeng knocked down these dozen or so brawny men.

Lu Jiang watched the strange scene before him, his mouth agape. He couldn’t understand how Ye Chenfeng, who clearly hadn’t made a move, caused all his men to fall to the ground. Could Ye Chenfeng be some kind of demon?

However, Lu Jiang was a man who had licked blood off the blade’s edge, and he knew that those in the underworld feared cowardice above all else. If you showed fear in front of your enemy, you would certainly die by their blade. So, over the years, no matter how formidable his opponents were, Lu Jiang fought with all his might, surviving time after time, which had also significantly improved his own strength.

"I don’t care if you’re a demon or a human, I, Lu Jiang, have come to meet you today," Lu Jiang said as he twisted his arm, his fighting spirit surging through him.

However, the very next second,

Ye Chenfeng’s figure appeared in front of Lu Jiang, a pair of pale hands clasped around Lu Jiang’s throat, "You dare talk about sending me off to the Western Paradise with such meager strength? It looks like the ones going there are you, not me."

Feeling the chilling grip on his neck, cold sweat continually broke out on Lu Jiang’s back, and now even the fighting spirit inside him had disappeared. The skills of the person in front of him simply transcended human boundaries. He let out a deep breath and said, "You can kill me, but I hope you let them go."

These dozen or so loyal followers had been with Lu Jiang for many years. Lu Jiang didn’t treat them as subordinates, but as his real brothers, and on many occasions, they had risked their lives to stand up for him in times of danger. Being brothers was all about looking out for one another, and Lu Jiang was someone who valued relationships deeply, at least towards his brothers, which was probably why these followers were so loyal to him.

Seeing the sincere expression on Lu Jiang’s face, not seeming to be a pretense, Ye Chenfeng released his hands, saying, "It seems you’re someone who values loyalty. Just for that, I see no reason to kill you."

After all, if Ye Chenfeng took over the Heavenly Saber Association, he would need people like Lu Jiang in the future, and moreover, they had not participated in the events on Snack Street. Speaking of mistakes, it was only that Lu Jiang had mismanaged his subordinates.

Lu Jiang had not expected Ye Chenfeng to let him go. He stared dumbfounded at Ye Chenfeng for a long time before asking, "What exactly are you here for?"

"To take over the Heavenly Saber Association," Ye Chenfeng answered succinctly.

"What?" Lu Jiang’s mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, "Your skills may be good, even strange, but do you know how many members the Heavenly Saber Association has? A spit from each one could drown you, do you really have the power to kill all the members of the Heavenly Saber Association by yourself?"

"I said it before, I came to take over the Heavenly Saber Association, and if I kill all of its members, how would I take it over?" With Ye Chenfeng’s strength at level seven Soul Force, it wasn’t impossible for him to deal with a large gang by himself.

However, it would just take several more days, since a large gang had a multitude of people, and Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength was limited.

"First, clean up this place, and then tell me about the development of the Heavenly Saber Association over the years," Ye Chenfeng ordered indifferently, his tone leaving no room for refusal. He still knew nothing about the Heavenly Saber Association; he had to understand it first.

Lu Jiang didn’t dare to say much more, after all, the strength Ye Chenfeng displayed was clear, and they were no match for him here, now they could only temporarily comply with Ye Chenfeng.

After commanding his people to take care of the situation outside Glorious Bar, Lu Jiang invited Ye Chenfeng into one of the private rooms in Glorious Bar; a place usually reserved for Lu Jiang’s personal enjoyment.

Walking into the private room, Ye Chenfeng sat down comfortably and said to Lu Jiang, "Take a seat too! I’ve heard that the Heavenly Saber Association has been notorious in Yun City over these years, just give me a general rundown of the current state of the Association."

Lu Jiang pulled at the corner of his mouth and then said, "You’re right, over these years, the Heavenly Saber Association has indeed been notorious in Yun City, which all started after the previous leader of the Association disappeared without a trace. Under his leadership, the Association was full of positivity; even though its members would walk through the streets with machetes and fight, they would never engage in despicable deeds like drug trafficking or anything else harmful. That was the golden age of the Heavenly Saber Association, when we nearly unified all of Yun City’s underground forces."

"However, at the peak of our power, our leader vanished suddenly, leaving behind no word at all. At that time, I was just a minor figure in the Association!"

Lu Jiang was lost in the memories of the past, his face showing a mix of melancholy, sorrow, and helplessness, a medley of emotions intertwined. (To be continued.
