"How dare you dictate to me?" Wu Qiujun burst out into a yell, eyes struck wide.
Wandong sneered, disregarded Wu Qiujun's rage and intimidation, and made an absent-minded response, "Just give it to me straight. You can't withstand a loss. You are just picking a hole. You don't have to beat around the bush to lead the public astray."
Indeed, Wu Qiujun dared not take a reckless action in full view. Wandong was fully aware of that. Hence, he made the most of the opportunity to take a dig at Wu Qiujun.
Duan Lengyan couldn't figure out the tricks Wandong employed with the bet. However, she was sure that the problem was not with the raw stones of the blood steel. The output rate of the raw stones was, by no means, lower than ten percent.
It grieved her to the utmost on thinking that Wandong obtained hundreds of pieces of the blood steel for nothing.
"Xu Yaoting, now that the output rate of the blood steel is so low, why are you still so concerned about the raw stones? Why bother to make us deliver them to your residence? Then you will end up with useless stones again. Don't you find it troublesome to send them back to the Tianbao Mansion?"
Wandong sneered, "If I were not to take them back to my place, they would stay here to help you pocket the wealth of the innocent Qingyun people."
"Childe Xu, very well said! Granted that we had to crush the raw stones here into ashes all across the board, we wouldn't allow them to practice fraud anymore."
"Indeed! Let's spread the truth far and wide once we're back. We'll have to make everyone see through the Tianbao crooks."
"For my part, that is hardly enough! We'll have to report their dark deeds to the court and get the Tianbao Mansion closed down."
Already furious, the purchasers burst out into waves of long-contained curses.
"Goddamned! How dare you make troubles here in the Tianbao Mansion? You are asking for death!"
Wu Qiujun exclaimed and plunged his right palm forth.
Wandong went shocked and hastened to stop, "Wu Qiujun, how dare you!"
However, hardly had Wandong's voice faded away when Wu Qiujun's power swept through the crowd. In an instant, a couple of people got hurled backward, followed by splashing blood in the air. They must have got seriously injured.
Wu Qiujun's blood-thirsty move not only aroused indignation in Wandong but also cast a death-like blight on the crowd. They all stared at Wandong, terribly baffled. They didn't expect that he could have been so ruthless.
Taking no notice of the injured, Wu Qiujun looked around, "Death will definitely shake hands with those who dare to cause troubles in the Tianbao Mansion."
Wandong found it hard to hold back his anger, looking extremely sullen.
"Wu Qiujun, how dare you to throw your weight around without scruples!"
Wu Qiujun sneered and turned back to Wandong in a provoking manner, "So what? What can you do to me?"
"You…" Wandong's tongue got twisted out of anger.
Apparently, Wu Qiujun was pressuring Wandong by means of his superior martial capacity. He didn't even care about principles at all. Wandong felt at his wit's end.
Although Wu Qiujun found his confrontation disgraceful, Wandong's twisted facial expression still pleased him a lot. His previous depression was gone; he even got more arrogant than he ever was.
Wu Qiujun pointed at the Qingyun warriors, "Listen! Get lost while I'm able to control my temper. Otherwise, I would put down anyone who dares to keep blabbering on here."
After a moment of silence, a tough guy with whiskers stood out and made a sonorous statement.
"Don't dread him! Indeed, he boasts a solid martial capacity, which is way superior to ours. However, we outnumber him! As long as we are firmly united, we will surely deter him from atrocity. We have to claim justice for ourselves!"
No sooner had the guy's voice faded away that Wu Qiujun plunged himself forth.
"You're asking for it!"
"No!" Wandong went agitated and slid upwards. He mobilized all his Taoist energy to bring his martial capacity into full play. However, he still failed to catch up with Wu Qiujun.
