Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 1828 - 1712: Have a Proper Talk with You
Upon hearing this, Song Yun was even more surprised.
But more than that, he was displeased.
Originally an enemy of the Sichuan Tang Family, joining them would mean becoming a servant, which was even more disgusting than the Tang Family seeking revenge on him.
Song Yun snorted coldly, "You want me to be a servant of the Tang Family? You have quite the plan, and I wonder, where does your confidence come from?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Your name is Song Yun, right? But your foundation is not strong. The circle issue between us means you cannot use the Song Family’s power, that’s our confidence. As for yourself, hmph, you’re merely a fame chaser. The War God List’s third place in my view is highly inflated."
Tang Chuan chuckled blandly and continued, "Actually, we are giving you a chance. Either you join the Tang Family, or become a perpetual enemy of the Tang Family. And enemies of the Tang Family never have a good ending."
Song Yun squinted his eyes slightly, a playful smile appeared on his face as he said to Tang Chuan, "Do you know what I hate the most?"
Tang Chuan disdainfully asked, "What?"
Song Yun stared at Tang Chuan, and said coldly, "I hate your kind of self-righteous attitude the most, thinking you control others’ life and death. But you don’t know how insignificant you are, not worth mentioning at all."
Tang Chuan smiled indifferently, and said calmly, "Song Yun, you severely injured Tang Jia. If it weren’t for valuing your strength, you’d already be dead. Now, this is your only chance. Serve the Tang Family, become one of us, and you can continue to live. You should know that our Sichuan Tang Family also needs some secular strength, a mere Yanjing Tang Family cannot satisfy us."
Song Yun shook his head and said, "This is not negotiation, it’s a threat."
Tang Chuan spoke with an air of superiority, "Whether you see it as negotiation or a threat, you must make a choice."
Song Yun laughed and said, "I’m not someone who likes being threatened."
Tang Chuan said, "Then treat it as negotiation, give me a reply."
Song Yun showed a mocking smile and wagged his finger, "Negotiation? No, no, no, with me, you don’t have that qualification!"
Tang Chuan’s eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly, "The family has sent me to see you, that’s already giving you face, and you still don’t know what’s good for you. Hmph, just as Tang Shisan said, you’re very arrogant."
Song Yun said, "I am arrogant, what can you do about it?"
"Short-sighted, oblivious to the world."
Tang Chuan shouted coldly, battle intent surging, he said gravely, "Song Yun, today I’ll show you that this world is not as you think it is. I’ll show you what a true master looks like."
"Alright, I’m curious to see that, come on then."
Song Yun beckoned provocatively towards Tang Chuan.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a good beating first, let’s see if you are willing to submit to the Tang Family."
Tang Chuan roared angrily, his body moved towards Song Yun.
Actually, when Tang Chuan first received the order to negotiate with Song Yun, he was very displeased.
Since Tang Jia was injured, just kill the opponent, why bother complicating matters, even trying to entice the opponent into the Tang Family.
The Tang Family is mighty, how could they possibly lower themselves to negotiate with anyone?
Moreover, the Tang Family is strong enough, there’s no need to bring in any tom, dick, or harry into the family.
So at this moment, provoked by Song Yun, Tang Chuan instantly forgot the orders from the Family Head, and moved against Song Yun.
"Using fists to negotiate, that’s exactly my style."
Song Yun licked his lips, his eyes filled with strong battle intent, his body moved aggressively towards Tang Chuan.
The two clashed in the bamboo forest.
This time, unlike when he faced Tang Shisan before, Song Yun did not hold back.
From the start, he fought with full strength.
He knew he had to make Tang Chuan painfully aware and afraid, so the Tang Family would not cause trouble for him again.
After the first move, Tang Chuan’s expression changed, from fierce to grave and cautious.
Actually, after receiving information from Tang Shisan earlier, he had some expectations of Song Yun’s combat prowess, but he still underestimated it, and quite significantly.
As they battled, Tang Chuan ran to a small bamboo grove, using the bamboo as cover, he dodged Song Yun’s attacks several times, preventing a quick defeat.
Snap, snap...
A series of bamboo stalks were broken by Song Yun, falling every which way.
The scenario turned into Tang Chuan constantly dodging, looking for a chance to fight back, but failing to find a single flaw in Song Yun.
In contrast, Song Yun relentlessly pursued, like a forward-moving force.
However, passers-by began to look their way.
"These two are impressive, are they filming a martial arts movie?"
"No, there’s no camera, just the two of them."
"Maybe the cameras are hidden."
A crowd, drawn by Song Yun and Tang Chuan’s battle, stopped to watch, constantly cheering from the side.
After exchanging more than a dozen blows, Tang Chuan was outmatched, kicked away by Song Yun, knocking over a large area of bamboo, crashing to the ground, his arm pierced by a broken bamboo stalk, blood gushing, the pain gritting his teeth, not letting out a sound.
"Amazing, filming has become so realistic!"
"I thought it was post-production effects, look at the blood on his hand, it looks real."
The crowd around discussed excitedly, captivated by "the scene," praising without restraint.
Tang Chuan glanced at those people, agitated in his heart, the blood on me is real, we’re not filming.
He longed to lash out, but dared not move, for Song Yun was already walking towards him.
"Didn’t you say earlier you wanted me to see a true master?"
Song Yun stared at Tang Chuan, speaking gravely, "Now I’ll show you who the real master is!"
Tang Chuan wasn’t afraid of pain, he stood up resolutely, directly pulling the bamboo out of his arm, glaring fiercely at Song Yun, "I admit, I underestimated you. But even if you can defeat me, you cannot overcome our Tang Family. The Tang Family’s strength far exceeds your imagination."
"Tang Shisan has said similar things before."
Song Yun chuckled disdainfully, said to Tang Chuan, "Neither you nor Tang Shisan are my match, it’s easy for me to kill you. Do you know why I left you alive?"
Tang Chuan said, "Hmph, that’s because you fear our Tang Family!"
"I don’t even know what the Tang Family is, why should I fear? No matter how strong, is it stronger than my Song Family?"
Song Yun countered, then continued, "The reason for sparing you is that my killing intent has diminished, I don’t want troublesome matters. Furthermore, I’m quite friendly, I don’t like making enemies. So, I’m letting you go, not out of fear, but to avoid a deadlock with the Tang Family."
Tang Chuan spoke gravely, "To put it simply, you are still scared!"
"Say what you like."
Song Yun shook his head, said, "Now, you can leave, go back and tell the Tang Family Head, if they send someone after me again. Next time, I will go directly to the Tang Family and have a proper discussion with you all."
