Chapter 1451 - 1346: The Outbreak of Conflict
Facing Wang Tu’s question, Qin Hao just said lightly, "You’re overthinking it. I’m announcing that from now on, this house is mine. You guys can get out."
As soon as the words fell, the scene abruptly went silent.
Everyone’s faces twisted into weird expressions, their eyes staring straight at Qin Hao.
What did this kid just say again?
"Qin Hao, what did you just say? Got the balls to repeat it?" Liu Qing was the first to snap out of it, asking in a furious tone.
"I just said, this room is mine from now on. If you’ve got nothing else, you can leave."
Qin Hao repeated himself succinctly, and even added at the end, "So, can you go now?"
"Boom!"
This time, everyone finally understood.
So Qin Hao really wanted to take over this room?
Are you kidding me!
"Hahahaha!" Wang Tu laughed from sheer rage, laughing louder and louder.
When the laughter stopped, his face turned gloomy. "Qin Hao, did you get your brain beaten to mush in that little black room just now? Daring to spout this shameless bullshit to me, are you looking to die?"
Beside him, Liu Qing was also looking at Qin Hao like he was an idiot. "He looks normal enough. How the hell is he saying such dumb shit?"
While the two were talking, people kept rushing in from outside.
The previously empty room was instantly packed to overflowing.
Other than Qin Hao and the Jin Family Siblings being outsiders, everyone else was basically Wang Tu’s men.
The Jin Family Siblings glanced at the number of people around them, both secretly shocked in their hearts.
So many people? At least over forty, right?
Compared like this, Wang Tu’s power was much stronger than Xu Dilei’s.
Facing the encirclement, Qin Hao’s expression remained utterly calm. "Wang Tu, can’t we talk this over properly?"
"Talk, my ass!" Wang Tu spat viciously on the floor. "I invited you to join me nicely, and you act like a hotshot! Qin, you think just because I’m being polite, that’s your cue to climb up on my head?"
Liu Qing was also waving his fists, spittle flying. "You dogshit, weren’t you acting awfully cocky just now? Come on, say that crap again!"
Qin Hao didn’t lose his temper like the two of them. Instead he said calmly, "Seriously, can’t you guys just calm down?"
"Calm down? Calm your goddamn big-headed ghost!"
With a furious roar, Liu Qing swung his fist and charged at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao shook his head. "Why bother? I really don’t want to bully you guys."
But the fist was already there. He could only casually reach out, and clamped Liu Qing’s wrist tightly in his hand.
"Let go!"
The anger vanished from Liu Qing’s face, his complexion turning a sickly mix of green and yellow.
His wrist was in excruciating pain, like it was caught in an iron vise!
"I said, I don’t want to get rough. Why do you insist on forcing me?"
Qin Hao spoke blandly, then casually flung his arm. Liu Qing’s body suddenly flew into the air, crashed into a bunch of people, knocked over four or five of them before finally hitting the ground.
That move already put Qin Hao’s strength on full display.
If it were any other time, the crowd might have been intimidated.
But right now, everyone was burning with rage, including Wang Tu.
"Good kid, daring to throw hands on my turf—you’re dead. Brothers, get him!"
With an enraged roar, Wang Tu took the lead, charging straight at Qin Hao.
Beside him, countless others surged forward, boiling with fury as they rushed at Qin Hao.
In the middle of the crowd, Qin Hao looked like a leaf swallowed by a crashing wave, seemingly helpless.
...
At the same time, outside Wang Tu’s villa.
Dozens of figures were standing there.
A man with thick, long eyebrows sighed. "Sigh, we’re late."
Next to him, a dark-skinned youth shook his head. "So the Outer Courtyard finally had a fierce general show up, and he got snatched by Wang the Butcher first."
"That butcher usually only knows how to slaughter pigs and chop meat, right? How come he’s so sharp-eared today, being the first to scoop up that fierce general!"
Someone else sighed helplessly.
Everyone standing here was a big shot among the Outer Sect’s Seventy-two Earth Spirits.
And they were the high-ranked ones at that.
The reason they’d gathered here was basically the same as Wang Tu’s.
—To recruit Qin Hao under their own banners.
Unfortunately, the intel had just told them that Qin Hao had gone into Wang Tu’s mansion first.
"No more hope. That guy Wang Tu is rough by nature. If that newcomer was willing to go in, it means his heart was moved."
The man with the thick eyebrows sighed. "Who’d have thought I, Duanmu Kui, would actually lose out to that big brute Butcher Wang!"
Next to him, the dark-skinned youth shook his head. "Duanmu Kui, you’re not much better than Wang the Butcher. Following you back would be worse than following him."
"He Fang, you cold fish, you’re no better either. You go around molesting Outer Disciples on your own turf, what are you doing joining the fun here? Don’t tell me you’re here for that Jin Ni’Er?"
Duanmu Kui sneered bluntly.
"Sigh, you saw through me."
The man named He Fang showed a hint of lechery on his face. "I heard that Jin Ni’Er’s big-busted, beautiful, and long-legged. Isn’t that exactly my type? So I came to take a look."
"Heh."
The big shots around them all sneered coldly.
They were rivals on normal days, and they’d come here to fight over Qin Hao, so of course no one was going to show a pleasant face.
At that moment, shouting came from inside the gate, accompanied by strange, dull sounds, like fists slamming into bones.
"Why is it so noisy in there?"
Someone asked in confusion.
No one answered. Everyone just felt it was very strange. "Huh, I think I even heard Wang the Butcher’s voice. Is that guy... screaming in pain?"
"I think I heard it too. What the hell is going on?"
Everyone was baffled, but no one guessed what was actually happening.
In their minds, the Wang Mansion was Wang Tu’s headquarters.
Here, Wang the Butcher was Invincible.
So the idea that he might be getting beaten up by an outsider hadn’t even appeared in their worldview.
"How about we go in and take a look?"
The sounds from inside were getting louder and louder, and the people outside were getting impatient.
"Alright!"
He Fang spoke up first and was the first to head for the doorway.
The other big shots saw this and all hurried to follow.
On a normal day, these big shots would never set foot in the Wang Mansion.
Because the Outer Courtyard’s powers were tangled and complex; big shots wouldn’t casually mingle.
Especially stepping into another big shot’s territory—without a doubt, that was extremely dangerous and could easily mean walking into an ambush.
But today, to find out what was going on, they couldn’t hold back.
Very quickly, they all entered the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion interior.
The first thing they saw was bodies all over the floor.
People were sprawled every which way on the ground. Some were groaning, some panting, some clutching their limbs or their stomachs, rolling around nonstop.
Judging from appearances alone, this whole bunch was injured.
If they hadn’t clearly seen these people’s faces, the big shots would have thought the ones on the ground were all Wang Tu’s enemies.
But in reality, these people weren’t enemies. On the contrary, they were Wang Tu’s men!
