"Heavenly Frost Fist: Frost Accumulation!"
A punch was thrown, carrying the force of ten thousand tons, instantly shattering the ice and snow condensed from Ji Bochang's sword qi. At the same time, a bone-chilling cold, azure frost qi directly enveloped his body. In an instant, Ji Bochang felt his qi sea freeze, and he staggered from mid-air, falling heavily beside the stairs.
"Ji-gege!"
Su Xuejiao cried out in alarm, hurrying forward to help Ji Bochang.
"Ah, so cold!"
As a result, her palm had just touched Ji Bochang's arm when she immediately retracted her hand, frozen.
Ji Bochang's cheeks and body trembled constantly, looking at Liang Hao in surprise.
"How is it? Just tell me, are you convinced?"
Liang Hao raised his arm and waved his fist triumphantly, his face displaying three parts disdain, three parts contempt, three parts scorn, and a final part of nonchalance, fully embodying what it meant to be extremely arrogant.
"You ants are like frogs at the bottom of a well, how could you have ever seen the vastness of the heavens!"
"At this point, you still attempt to challenge the injustice of fate, wanting to regain your lost face?"
"Whatever. I just love watching ants looking displeased, yet unable to do anything to me. Come on, if you dare. I'll take you all down, one by one, until you're completely subdued."
Ji Bochang was so angry his teeth itched, but the Heavenly Frost Qi inside him hadn't dissipated yet, so he couldn't move rashly.
Seeing this, Su Jinhao frowned and immediately stepped forward: "How dare you! You even dare to offend the Ji Clan, you are truly audacious!"
"What? It seems you want to stand up for this ant? I advise you to weigh your strength before you make a move, lest you become a scapegoat and get pecked in the eye by a hawk."
Su Jinhao stomped his foot and immediately activated his family's unique skill — the Fire Phoenix Scorching Plains Technique.
Then, he slapped Ji Bochang with a palm.
The scorching aura of the Fire Phoenix quickly dissolved the Heavenly Frost Qi within him.
Ji Bochang exhaled a turbid breath and hurriedly said, "Jinhao, this person's cultivation is quite profound; we need to join forces to subdue him!"
"Alright!"
Su Jinhao also saw that Liang Hao's cultivation was not something they could win against alone. He decisively joined forces with Ji Bochang, urging all of his spiritual energy, and flanked Liang Hao from both sides, attacking him again.
"Hmph!"
Liang Hao snorted lightly, not caring at all.
"One is Qi Gathering, eighth rank, and the other is Qi Gathering, ninth rank, yet you're putting on the airs of an Emperor.
"Anyone who doesn't know better would think you two were teaming up for a blockbuster show like 'Battle Through the Heavens'!"
With a raise of his hand, Heavenly Frost Fist was initiated again.
The instant they clashed, Ji Bochang and Su Jinhao were sent flying backward.
Su Jinhao just happened to land at Su JinYi's feet.
Seeing his usually revered elder brother unable to withstand even a single move, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Big Brother, are you really this weak?"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Liang Hao appeared before him.
Facing those deep, malicious eyes, Su JinYi couldn't help but swallow hard.
"How strong do you think you are? Stand still and let me stretch your bones."
"Ah~ What are you doing~ Ouch~~"
After a series of lightning-fast punches, Su JinYi, who had the lowest cultivation among the three, wailed in pain.
"Stop it, please stop fighting!"
Su Xuejiao, who was only at the fifth level of Spirit Gathering, could only cower in the corner, exclaiming in alarm, but she didn't have the courage to step forward and stop them.
Half an hour later...
Ji Bochang, Su Jinhao, Su JinYi, and Su Xuejiao, all with bruised faces, knelt neatly in front of Liang Hao.
At this moment, they no longer possessed their previous arrogance, only a fear of Liang Hao's strength that ran deep in their bones.
"A bunch of ants, I'd get dirty just killing you, pui!"
Liang Hao glanced disdainfully at the group and then said to Shen Zhao, "Big brother, how should we deal with these ants? Should we harvest their kidneys and then find a way to sell them to northern Myanmar?"
Shen Zhao tilted his head and said with a tone of experience, "Forget it. We're just here to carry out poverty alleviation work, not to be bandits. We should give these young people who can turn back from their mistakes a chance to start anew."
Liang Hao looked admiringly, "Big brother is so kind-hearted, this little brother is filled with admiration."
Then he turned to the four and said, "Hurry up and hand over the Storage Pouches on your bodies to support the Public Arbitration Association's great and sacred poverty alleviation cause."
Unexpectedly, Ji Bochang said, "Kid, I advise you not to be too arrogant. You can't afford to provoke my Ji Clan."
Slap!
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Hao slapped him directly.
"I provoked you, what can you do? If you don't want to get hit, then shut your mouth and hand over your Storage Pouch obediently."
Ji Bochang didn't dare to say anything more, and trembling, he took out a Storage Pouch from his bosom and threw it on the ground.
Just as Liang Hao was about to pick it up, Ji Bochang's words rang out again, "I'm telling you, if you pick up this bag today,
"My elder brother, Ji Boda, definitely won't let you off! Hmph, you might have some cultivation, but against my elder brother's absolute strength at the Soul Sea Realm, third rank, your little tricks are nothing!"
Slap!
Instead, another resounding slap landed.
"What are you pretending for? You're just at the Soul Sea Realm, and you dare to act so arrogant? It seems your Ji Clan will be finished sooner or later.
I'll put it plainly today, don't even talk about Ji Boda coming,
Even if your father, Ji [no last name provided], came, it wouldn't matter! I'd still beat him until he doesn't know who he is!"
"Hmph, just be arrogant, then. If my Ji Clan finds out I've suffered such humiliation today, they'll surely tear you all to shreds!"
Shen Zhao heard this and immediately said, "It seems they're unwilling to support our Public Arbitration Association's poverty alleviation work. They're unwilling to contribute even a small amount for the benefit of the suffering common people. For people like this, who repeatedly refuse to change, our Public Arbitration Association will absolutely not tolerate them. We must take compulsory measures to make them deeply understand their mistakes."
Ji Bochang was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"
Slap!
Liang Hao slapped them both again.
"Are you deaf? My big brother means it's getting cold, the wind is picking up, and your business needs a new owner.
Hand over the deeds, property documents and account books of Pin Yue Ju, so the Public Arbitration Association can carefully review them."
Ji Bochang was completely dumbfounded.
This guy must be crazy, otherwise, why would he make such a ridiculous request? But judging by his demeanor, he seemed very serious. "Why aren't you reacting? Are you deaf or mute? Did you understand what I just said? Do I have to repeat myself?
Hurry up and hand over all the deeds, property documents, and account books of Pin Yue Ju!"
Su Jinhao, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to listen any longer, and spoke up, "Your actions are too overbearing. You've been the one stirring up trouble from the beginning.
We haven't provoked you in any way. It's fine if you beat us up for no reason, but now you want to seize someone else's property, it's really unreasonable!"
Slap!
What answered Su Jinhao was a resounding slap.
"What's this, you're acting aggrieved now? You want me to get on my knees and apologize to you? Maybe I'll even punish myself with three drinks to liven things up?
Let me tell you, I'm blatantly bullying you, what can you do about it?
If this restaurant isn't handed over today, none of you will leave here standing.
We've been running around diligently for the sake of all the people under the heavens, while you lot won't give up a single hair, watching the common people suffer in misery.
Your restaurant is so large, it could house thousands of displaced people who are homeless because of natural disasters and man-made calamities.
If you were to donate it, it would surely leave a faint mark in the annals of history!"
Su Jinhao covered his face, fear and shock warring within him as he glared resentfully at Liang Hao, who stood above him.
"May I know your name, sir?"
Slap!
Another resounding slap.
"What, you want to get someone to come and get revenge on me?
Don't say I didn't give you a chance.
Go ahead and call for backup. I'd like to see who's so thick-skinned that they want to come and get a beating.
Even if you call your dad, it won't change the fact that you'll still be trampled underfoot!"
Seeing that Liang Hao didn't care at all, Su Jinhao was taken aback, unsure of the other's identity.
And Su Xuejiao, seeing her elder brother get hit, hadn't wanted to step forward.
But thinking of Su Yunying at home, who threatened her position, she had to steel herself and say to Liang Hao:
"This young hero, it was our fault for not recognizing your eminence and offending you. Please, I beg you to show mercy and stop making things difficult for my elder brother.
As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I am willing to offer all the spirit stones and spirit treasures I have on me, just to beg you to spare my elder brother."
A warm current flowed through Su Jinhao's heart. He hadn't doted on his younger sister in vain all these years.
Staring at the pitiful Su Xuejiao, Liang Hao suddenly asked, "That's truly touching. But you, you idiot, seem to have forgotten something.
Your lives are in my hands. Whether or not you hand over your Storage Pouch isn't up to you. Do you understand what I'm saying!"
"Young hero, what will it take for you to let my brothers go? I'll do whatever you ask, if I can!"
"You'll really do anything I say?"
"Yes!"
"Good!"
Liang Hao stepped forward, cupped her chin, and grinned wickedly. "If you agree to come with me to my room to… receive my guidance, and let me get to know you intimately, then those three ants, including you, will be safe and sound!"
"You dare!"
"Absolutely not!"
"If you dare to touch her, I'll definitely kill you!"
Ji Bochang, Su Jinhao, and Su JinYi all roared in unison.
Su Xuejiao was also terrified, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, "No, this is not possible. I am already betrothed to Brother Ji, so I cannot agree."
Slap!
Just as she finished speaking, Liang Hao slapped Su Xuejiao across the face.
"Since you can't do it, why did you run out here to make a scene?
Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're so noble. So, if you're weak, don't try to act all high and mighty.
Just be your little white flower and stay out of this mess."
Su Xuejiao was instantly bewildered, as if she were in a dream.
It wasn't until she covered her burning cheek that she confirmed it was all real.
From childhood, she had been pampered and loved, never having been slapped in public before.
"Xuejiao!"
Seeing his younger sister get hit, Su Jinhao and Su JinYi glared at Liang Hao, their eyes filled with killing intent.
But they were met with three more resounding slaps.
"I need to remind you again, my patience is wearing thin.
You have ten more breaths. If you don't hand over this Joyful Delights Pavilion, I'll have to start a banquet here and now."
Seeing that Liang Hao didn't seem to be joking, Ji Bochang pondered for a moment. He glanced at the Su siblings behind him and could only concede for the time being.
"Someone, go get the deeds and title of Pin Yue Ju!"
"Ji-gege, Pin Yue Ju was entrusted to you by your father. If we hand it over..."
"Xuejiao, don't say anymore. Compared to your safety and the safety of the Su family, Pin Yue Ju is nothing. Just give it to him. I will explain the situation to Father."
"Ji-gege, you're so good to me."
At this moment, Su Xuejiao felt that Ji Bochang was really handsome and gentle, truly considerate.
Little did she know, Ji Bochang's heart was bleeding. How could he bear to hand over such a money-making treasure as Pin Yue Ju?
Wasn't it because the opponent was too strong? He could only resort to this measure first, and then find someone to settle the score later.
In no time, the deeds and property certificates of the Pin Yue Ju were handed over to Liang Hao.
Liang Hao took them and immediately asked Shen Zhao, "Big brother, now that we've got the Pin Yue Ju, whose surname should we change it to?"
Shen Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "Change it to the little girl's surname. This isn't urgent. Let's take care of the main business first.
Don't forget why we're here. When you're out there hustling, you must be trustworthy and never change your original intentions."
"Understood, Big Brother!"
Liang Hao immediately turned back and glared at the four, "You four, hurry up and take out your Storage Pouches."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Su JinYi couldn't help but complain, "Wait a minute, Daoist friend, can you not be so ruthless?"
"You've taken over the whole Joyful Delights Pavilion, and you're not even letting us keep our measly belongings?"
Slap!
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just hand it over. Big Brother said that a person must be trustworthy.
If we say we want your Storage Pouch, then we must take it. Otherwise, we'd be breaking our word, and we wouldn't want to be laughed at by our peers.
We, the disciples of the Public Arbitration Association, aren't like you shameless ants. When we're out and about, we have to consider our reputation first. Do you understand?
If you don't hand it over, you'll be openly defying the Public Arbitration Association's law enforcement. In that case, we'll have to take more forceful measures."
