41: Chapter 41 The Unusual Tang Family Head

One of three is gone.

Shen Xingchen smiled and looked at the remaining two Tier 3 assassins.

Steward Li felt the pressure, as if he was being stared at by a man-eating lion, sending a chill down his spine.

"What are you still standing there for? Attack!" Steward Li shouted at the five Tier 2 assassins.

The Tier 2 assassins in black wore expressions of disbelief.

"Me?"

"Is it really me?"

"Me to deal with him? … What kind of joke are you playing!"

Of course, the basic qualities of being an assassin were still there, and the seven people surrounded Shen Xingchen tightly.

Shen Xingchen looked at them and smiled, saying, "Have you ever heard a saying?"

"What?" Steward Li cautiously watched every move Shen Xingchen made.

Shen Xingchen made no attempt to hide the disdain in his heart: "No matter how many trash there are, they are still just a bunch of trash!"

"Arrogant!" the man in black said angrily.

Shen Xingchen let out a cold laugh, his body transforming into a blur, leaving behind a full nine afterimages in the air.

Six Harmonies Golden Spear!

Using his fingers as a spear, Shen Xingchen displayed the piercing technique of the [Six Harmonies Golden Spear].

His spear technique, tempered by the system for many years, had reached the peak of mastery, yet it had long failed to advance to the Grandmaster level.

After this battle, once his essence, Qi, and spirit merged into one, he finally gained a trace of enlightenment, advancing to the Grandmaster level at this very moment.

So this was it—the highest realm of this spear technique required the baptism of battle!

In a straight line, Shen Xingchen's body was like a cyan-gold long spear.

Puff—

The nine afterimages merged into one, and the long spear pierced into the head of another Tier 3 assassin in black.

Blood splattered everywhere!

"How is this possible?" Steward Li felt his courage freeze.

Although he was slightly higher in realm than the other two Tier 3 assassins, he was only at Tier 3 Level 3.

To instantly kill a Tier 3 Level 1 so cleanly, he probably truly couldn't do it.

This arrogant genius from No. 3 High School had truly killed his way into forming an imposing aura!

Could this mission really be failing?

Steward Li anxiously looked towards a certain corner of the street.

Then, as if making up his mind, he assumed a posture to continue fighting.

Right at this moment!

"Stop!"

An angry roar echoed throughout the entire street.

A middle-aged man wearing Tang-style clothing rushed out, furious, glaring fiercely at Steward Li and the others.

He was none other than Tang Chen's father, Patriarch Tang Qiming.

Steward Li felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Even the head of the family had come personally, so this assassination seemed to have no suspense left.

"Master, it is this humble servant's incompetence that I still haven't been able to slay this villain after so long…" Steward Li spoke humbly as usual.

However, deep down, he completely relaxed.

The remaining assassins also breathed a sigh of relief; they certainly didn't want to face that perverted youth anymore.

They were just trying to earn a living, why risk their lives…

Patriarch Tang Qiming's expression was cold as he looked at Steward Li: "Did you hire people to do this?"

The current situation was that the assassination had already begun, and it probably couldn't end well!

These few idiots!

Before Steward Li could speak, Tang Chen, who had been watching the battle from the corner all along, walked out.

"Dad!"

Tang Chen's face was filled with joy.

He looked at his own old man with a beaming smile.

Although his father was strict, it was all an act; he knew that his father was actually the person who loved him the most.

Tang Chen smiled with narrowed eyes: "Dad, that little bastard is very strong, and Uncle Li almost perished here. Fortunately you came, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do!"

Patriarch Tang Qiming's face remained dark.

Tang Chen knew he had caused trouble, but it didn't matter; which time had his father not just put on an angry appearance on the surface while actually not being willing to punish him at all?

"Dad, this time it's not Uncle Li's fault, it was my idea." Tang Chen said with a strong sense of responsibility.

Steward Li's old eyes streamed with tears.

To follow such a young master, this old servant is content!

Shen Xingchen stared with a solemn expression at the newly arrived man in Tang-style clothing.

This person's aura was truly terrifying, comparable to Principal Chen Lingjun of No. 3 High School; he was at least a Tier 5 Martial Artist!

Seeing that his father wasn't making any move, Tang Chen urged, "Dad, hurry up and finish them off. If the Law Enforcement Team comes later, it won't be good…"

Slap—

A crisp slapping sound rang out.

Patriarch Tang Qiming's palm swung straight across Tang Chen's face, leaving a bright red handprint.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Shen Xingchen had originally maintained an extremely cautious posture, but now he couldn't quite see through the opposition.

Could it be… a trap?

Steward Li was also somewhat baffled.

"Dad!" Tang Chen looked at his father in disbelief, actually feeling him to be so unfamiliar.

His father actually hit him!

For eighteen years, that had never happened before!

"Go on, kneel in front of him!" Patriarch Tang Qiming grabbed Tang Chen and pulled him toward Shen Xingchen's side.

Then Patriarch Tang Qiming said respectfully to Shen Xingchen: "Little Brother Shen, right? True to being Director Li Tianshuo's favorite close aide, you're young and promising!"

Tang Chen's brain buzzed, turning completely blank: "Dad, what are you talking about!?"

He almost thought he had misheard.

In the current situation, his father, a Tier 5 Martial Artist, had personally rushed to the assassination scene to take charge, yet wanted him to apologize to his opponent?

Has the world gone mad or have I gone mad?

Patriarch Tang Qiming urged with a dark face: "Hurry up!"

Shen Xingchen took it all in.

From Patriarch Tang Qiming's words just now, he already knew the reason.

It seemed that Director Li Tianshuo's status and strength were much higher than he had imagined.

He had originally thought that the head of the Tang Family and the director should be on equal footing.

On the other side, Tang Chen struggled and said: "Even if I die, I won't kneel in front of him!"

Patriarch Tang Qiming grew anxious and delivered yet another slap.

Slap—

This time the force was even more fierce, and the teeth on the left side of Tang Chen's mouth had already begun to bleed.

Patriarch Tang Qiming was simply too uneasy inside.

Director Li Tianshuo was a Tier 7 Martial Artist!

What did a Tier 7 Martial Artist represent?

In this Qiunan City, how many Tier 7 Martial Artists were there in total?

Their Tang Family only had one Tier 5!

How could they afford to provoke such a behemoth?

"Do you know what kind of disaster you've brought upon us?" Patriarch Tang Qiming said, feeling exasperated.

Tang Chen widened his eyes, looking at his father with a face full of doubt.

"It's fine, young people being ignorant is quite normal!" Shen Xingchen first smiled on the side, and then he changed the topic, "Just be more careful in your next life!"

Hearing the first half, Patriarch Tang Qiming originally thought this classmate Shen was quite tolerant.

He even revealed a smile.

But upon quickly hearing the second half, the smile on Patriarch Tang Qiming's face froze.

Patriarch Tang Qiming laughed awkwardly: "Classmate Shen is joking. Look at what kind of compensation you need, we will satisfy it as much as possible…"

While speaking, he pulled and tugged at Tang Chen, kicking him right in the back of the knee.

Losing support in his legs, Tang Chen knelt in front of Shen Xingchen, his face filled with resentment.

"Classmate Shen, as long as you open your mouth, everything is negotiable!" Patriarch Tang Qiming added.

"Tang, you said this yourself!" As the two sides were talking, two figures walked over.

The person at the head was none other than Principal Chen Lingjun of Wudao No. 3 High School, who had hurried over.

Behind him was an ordinary student from a regular class at No. 3 High School… Lin Hu.

Tang Chen's heart had already turned to ashes, but upon hearing someone coming from afar, he raised his head to look.

And he saw Lin Hu in the rear.

The gazes of Tang Chen and Lin Hu met, and both of them paused.

Tang Chen felt humiliated and resentful to the extreme in his heart; right now he was kneeling in front of Shen Xingchen, how lowly it was.

Would his subordinate Lin Hu be disappointed in him?

It was because he wasn't majestic enough as a big brother.

Huh!?

That's not right!

How could Lin Hu have come over?

And even brought the principal along?
