Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Striking Out in Furious Rage

Song Xiaodong’s gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly said, “Are you trying to use your power to oppress me?”

Old Master of the Chen Family angrily said, “So what if I am? Let go quickly, or I’ll kill you and destroy your Su Family!”

“Bah!” Song Xiaodong felt his chest explode with anger. These people from prominent families didn’t even ask about the situation and directly questioned him. It was utterly unreasonable. Unable to hold back, he suddenly shouted, “A renowned family from Beijing? If you don’t tolerate me, then let’s fight. Let’s see if my Su Family fears any of you.”

As he spoke, Song Xiaodong suddenly released his grip, causing Chen Yong’s body to fall directly to the ground, gasping heavily for air.

However, since Song Xiaodong had said such words, he couldn’t just let it go like that. He suddenly lifted his foot and directly kicked Chen Yong in the abdomen.

Chen Yong was kicked by Song Xiaodong, flying away, but two bodyguards quickly caught him and immediately checked his condition.

Both of their faces changed dramatically. Chen Yong’s dantian sea of qi had been destroyed by Song Xiaodong’s kick, which meant all his True Qi was dispersed. Although he wouldn’t become disabled, his True Qi was completely ruined, turning him into an ordinary person.

Chapter 1267: Punish Those Who Insult My Family

“Family Head, Young Master was crippled by him!” a family guard cautiously said to Old Master of the Chen Family.

“You… you really have the nerve!” Old Master of the Chen Family pointed at Song Xiaodong, his finger trembling. Chen Yong was a key figure being nurtured by the Chen Family.

Now his Kung Fu was crippled by Song Xiaodong. Even though Chen Yong is still a talented individual without Kung Fu, his confidence would be severely damaged, and he might find it difficult to recover.

Song Xiaodong looked at everyone without fear, lifted his chin, and shouted, “Those who dare to insult my family, I will annihilate them!”

“You… fine! Song Xiaodong, seize him for me!” Old Master of the Chen Family smacked his cane and said sternly.

Two experts immediately leaped out. They were not ordinary experts; they were some of the top figures in the Chen Family.

Everyone around looked at Song Xiaodong with sympathetic eyes. No, they should be looking at him with schadenfreude, though only a few had genuinely sympathetic eyes for Song Xiaodong.

Among these prominent families, there was always competition, and the weakening of the opponent’s strength was good for them. So seeing Chen Yong crippled by Song Xiaodong, a few individuals were actually quite pleased, even though they couldn’t show it on their faces.

A few more looked at him with admiration, including Shen Lang, who not only admired but also expected, even excited.

“This kid is really asking for death, to dare cripple Chen Yong of the Chen Family; he’s definitely dead now.”

“Yes, the Chen Family is not something a local family can compare with. One wonders who gave him such courage.”

“This kid is the He family’s son-in-law, probably relying on the He family.”

“The He family… can they withstand the wrath of the Chen Family?”

People whispered among themselves, thinking that the bigger the issue grew, the better, ideally causing the Chen and He families to fight so that many other families could benefit.

Those two experts may be top tier, but they’re not the highest-level experts of the Chen Family. Each family’s most powerful figures rarely appear and are kept very secretive, like the Su Family’s Su Zhentian.

And this was just a standard event in Beijing, so the Chen Family certainly didn’t need top-tier experts to accompany them. The level of these two was outside the Chen Family’s top ten.

Experts of this level are currently weaker than Su Zhentian, so how could they pose a threat to Song Xiaodong?

Song Xiaodong came today with the intention of establishing authority, especially since the way these prominent families acted made him quite unhappy. If he didn’t make a stand, they truly would underestimate him in the future.

So within just a few encounters, Song Xiaodong directly broke the leg bones of the two experts.

The crowd fell silent, all looking at Song Xiaodong with peculiar gazes.

Each family clearly understood that the strength of their family guard was a crucial measure of a family’s power. The two experts sent by the Chen Family were already quite formidable, yet Song Xiaodong effortlessly resolved them, proving his power to be terrifying.

Old Master He chuckled and said, “Old Chen, calm down. We can talk things over. Why resort to fighting and killing?”

Old Master of the Chen Family said in a deep voice, “Old He, are you standing up for this brat?”

Old Master He was also conflicted. The Chen Family was ranked third among the prominent families, with a considerable gap from the He family. If the Chen Family really turned hostile, the He Family might suffer huge losses, which they couldn’t bear.

However, the higher-ups had made it clear that they wanted to support Song Xiaodong. If he backed down now, he would lose their favor, and what could be more important than the higher-ups’ opinion?

So after weighing his options, Old Master He chuckled and said, “Little Song is my family’s son-in-law; that makes him family. Moreover, your Chen Family’s man was the initial aggressor. If the roles were reversed and our Little Song insulted your Chen Family, your Chen Family wouldn’t just cripple him; you’d probably kill him outright, right?”

Old Master of the Chen Family, with a gloomy face, said, “Old He, are you really going to break ties with me?”

Old Master He chuckled and said, “Not to that extent. Old Chen, cool your anger. This situation has faults on both sides. Your Chen Yong was initially at fault, and of course, our Little Song’s actions were too much. Our He Family is reasonable and can cover the medical expenses.”

The words sounded nice, but would the Chen Family lacking medical expenses? Clearly, Old Master He intended to protect Song Xiaodong.

“Fine, fine!” Old Master of the Chen Family smacked his cane again and said sternly, “From now on, our Chen Family is an enemy of your He Family. Let’s see what happens. We are leaving!”

Old Master of the Chen Family turned and left, followed by the Chen family members, and a few families that had good relations with the Chen Family quickly followed suit.

“Look at you, Old Chen, getting so angry. Let’s talk it through,” Old Master He faked a shout from behind, “Alright, alright, when you’ve calmed down, I’ll bring Little Song over to apologize.”

“Old He, aren’t you being a bit impulsive? Was it worth going against the Chen Family for such a kid?” an elder stepped forward, frowning at Old Master He.

“Yeah, if he were a direct descendant of the He Family, that would be understandable, but he’s an outsider. It’s not worth it,” another elder also tried to persuade Old Master He.

Old Master He then put on a stern face, saying, “Song Xiaodong is my grandson-in-law, so he’s part of the He Family.”

“This stubborn old man, how could you suddenly get so obstinate?” the two old friends complained, frowning.

“Alright, I know you mean well. Let’s have tea together another day; I’ll head back now.” Old Master He waved his hand and signaled to the people around Song Xiaodong, turning to walk out.

Song Xiaodong, with his arm around Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin’s waists, followed them proudly, ignoring all the prominent families present.

“There’s something strange about this. Old He is known as a cunning fox, always smooth in his ways. Such a firm attitude isn’t his style,” people from various prominent families thought to themselves, feeling puzzled as Song Xiaodong and his group left.
