Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: What a flirt

Yang Zhi’s vision blurred as he touched his crooked nose, blood streaming through his trembling fingers. The pain was sharp, but the humiliation cut deeper more especially in front of the woman of his dreams. How could he live with it if he lost face? "You... you," he stammered, his voice shaking with rage and desperation. "Teach him a lesson for me!"

Xiang Yu’s lips curled into a sly, vile smile, his eyes glinting with a sinister light. His presence was oppressive, a dark cloud that made the two men hesitate, their confidence wavering. Yang Zhi, bleeding profusely onto the floor, screamed again, his teeth stained with blood. "What are you waiting for?"

One of the men, summoning his courage, clenched his fist and lunged forward. Xiang Yu moved with lethal grace, his kick landing squarely on the man’s chest. The force sent him staggering back, crashing into the thick glass door. He clasped his chest, grimacing in pain, blood trickling from the corner of his lips, his mind buzzing with shock.

The other man, eyes wide with fear, pulled out a pocket knife, the same one they used to shake small shop owners for protection money. With a pathetic war cry, he thrust the knife towards Xiang Yu. But Xiang Yu was faster, dodging the attack and grabbing the man’s arm. His eyes were cold, frosty, filled with disdain. He twisted the arm with a sickening crack, the man’s shrill cries echoing through the room, sending shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

Xiang Yu shoved the man towards the glass door. With a resounding bang, he fell to the ground, clutching his broken arm, tears mingling with the blood on his face. The room fell silent, the oppressive aura of Xiang Yu’s presence lingering like a dark shadow.

The first man who had attacked stood up and rushed over with a glare, but he was suddenly kicked, Xiang Yu’s heel meeting his face with a brutal force. Blood splattered, and two teeth were sent flying. Yang Zhi couldn’t accept it. He couldn’t accept being embarrassed in front of Sister Meng, but he was no match for him.

"You will pay, I will make you pay," Yang Zhi spat, trying to run away. But Xiang Yu suddenly grabbed him by the back of his collar and put him in a chokehold. Yang Zhi flared his arms and tried to free himself, but it was useless. Xiang Yu leaned in, whispering in his ear, "Do you see this?"

Yang Zhi glanced at the tattoo on Xiang Yu’s arm. It was a tattoo of a blood-red koi with demon eyes, swimming upstream. Yang Zhi suddenly trembled, and Xiang Yu smirked, his dark gaze meeting Yang Zhi’s at the corner of his eyes. "Since you know what it means, don’t fuck with me," Xiang Yu whispered, the threat in his voice obvious. "Do you understand?"

Yang Zhi nodded frantically, and Xiang Yu said, "Good boy," before pushing him away. The three of them ran out of the shop like their butts were on fire. In a frantic haze, one of them even fell on a pile of trash, spilling it everywhere.
