Top-tier Unruly Master
Chapter 64 - 63: Counter Violence with Violence
Toad Mirror looked Ding Fan up and down, dressed in plain clothes with even just a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. He was truly the epitome of a country bumpkin.
"Kid, let me tell you, I bought this dog for eight hundred thousand. Even if you were torn into pieces, you couldn't afford my dog!" Toad Mirror said with a commanding air.
"If you don't watch your dog, who can be blamed? Didn't you see? Your dog has bitten many people." Ning Luoxi stepped forward and said.
"How many people my dog has bitten, I can afford the compensation. Do I look like I lack money?" Toad Mirror snorted coldly.
Ning Luoxi was indeed infuriated. She hadn't expected Toad Mirror to talk like this.
From Toad Mirror's words, she could tell that he was flaunting his wealth, deliberately letting his dog bite people for fun.
Ding Fan's pupils narrowed, and his face grew grim.
People like Toad Mirror deserved a good lesson, to deter him from acting recklessly in the future.
"Kid, you killed my dog, I'll break your legs and make you a cripple for life," Toad Mirror gestured to his four bodyguards behind him.
Those four immediately lunged toward Ding Fan.
By now, quite a crowd had gathered around to watch the excitement. Those who knew the reason behind the confrontation were inwardly cursing Toad Mirror for being too domineering. However, intimated by Toad Mirror's authority, everyone present dared only to feel angry without voicing their discontent.
"Brother Fan, be careful!"
Seeing Toad Mirror's men were about to attack, Ning Luoxi felt afraid, but despite her fear, she chose not to flee and stayed close by Ding Fan, ready to face whatever came together with him.
The spectators tightened their grip, feeling nervous for Ding Fan. He appeared somewhat frail compared to Toad Mirror's muscular henchmen, and in their view, Ding Fan stood no chance against the four burly men.
Ding Fan snorted coldly. He was now at the Third Level of Qi Cultivation. Mere bodyguards wouldn't be an issue for him. After all, he had faced countless bloodshed-filled confrontations in the Cultivation World; this situation was hardly worth mentioning.
"Haah…"
At that moment, perhaps eager to show off, one of the bodyguards rushed at Ding Fan ahead of the others.
Ding Fan snorted coldly. The best way to teach such villains a lesson was to deliver a decisive shock, instill absolute fear, and thus 'educate' them thoroughly at their core.
Facing the charging bodyguard, Ding Fan didn't move aside; he quietly stood his ground.
The bodyguard sneered within his heart. In his view, Ding Fan was all talk and no skill. The bodyguard reached out his right hand to grab Ding Fan's collar.
Just as the bodyguard's right hand was about to seize Ding Fan, Ding Fan's right fist fiercely shot out.
Bang!
Ding Fan's fist, thrown later but arriving first, blasted directly into the bodyguard's nose bridge, instantly bursting it and sending blood flowing. His nose bridge was deeply caved in.
The other three bodyguards froze; they had not expected this "country bumpkin" to possess such skills.
Ding Fan then crouched down, grabbing the foot of the bodyguard he had knocked down.
The crowd was puzzled by Ding Fan's action, wondering what he was going to do. Even Ning Luoxi, not too far from Ding Fan, was baffled.
But soon, everyone understood what Ding Fan was about to do.
With one hand, he lifted the bodyguard. A burst of strength from his wrist caused the man to spin in the air. The other three bodyguards who were still standing were stunned to see that the "country bumpkin" was using a person as a weapon.
Thump, thump, thump… As Ding Fan wielded the human club, the remaining three bodyguards were soon knocked to the ground.
Everyone present was astonished. The bodyguard lifted by Ding Fan weighed at least 140 or 150 pounds, yet Ding Fan effortlessly swung him around with one hand without showing any signs of strain.
"Young man, well done!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd cheered.
Following that call, the crowd began to voice their support for Ding Fan. Toad Mirror thought he could throw his weight around in the park with his money and vicious dog. Such a person needed a good beating to keep him in check.
Encouraged by the cheers, more people in the crowd started clapping for Ding Fan.
At that moment, Toad Mirror's face was extremely somber as he glared venomously at Ding Fan. "Kid, do you know who I am? You dare to offend me!"
Ding Fan scoffed indifferently. "Well, why don't you tell me your name."
"My name is Li Guangzhi. You must have heard of the Li Family of Dongcheng," said the man known as Toad Mirror.
The people from the Li Family of Dongcheng, hearing this, Ning Luoxi's brows tightly furrowed together.
The people of the Dongcheng Li Family were very domineering, and the head of the Dongcheng Police Station was also from the Li Family. Besides that, the Li family owned many businesses in Dongcheng and were considered a notable family there.
Previously, when Ding Fan first met Ning Luoxi, they encountered Li Guangming, who was from the Li Family.
When those present heard that Li Guangzhi was from the Li Family, the cheers were immediately suppressed, and there was deathly silence among the crowd. Who in Dongcheng didn't know the background of the Li Family? They were an untouchable existence; why would anyone provoke them if there wasn't any issue?
At this moment, everyone was worried for Ding Fan; having offended someone from the Li Family, they didn't know how he would be able to settle this.
Snap...
Just then, an incredibly discordant sound of a slap rang out abruptly.
This slap was very crisp, loud enough for everyone around to hear.
Snap... Before the sound of the first slap had faded, the second one directly followed. While people had not seen clearly before, this time they saw it clearly.
It turned out that this slap was dealt by Ding Fan to Li Guangzhi.
These two slaps were truly forceful, leaving Li Guangzhi dazed. After staggering back two steps, he collapsed weakly onto the ground. Now, looking at his face, the Toad Mirror had been smacked off somewhere, and his entire head looked almost like a pig's head.
"You... do you know who I am, yet you still dare hit me? It seems you no longer wish to stay in Dongcheng," Li Guangzhi pointed at Ding Fan's nose and cursed.
"Since you really want to tell me who you are, then I naturally would wait until you finished stating your name before I hit you again..." Ding Fan replied with a calm expression that could infuriate someone to death.
"You… you, you just wait, kid. Rest assured, this matter isn't over today, and this account, I will definitely settle it with you."
Li Guangzhi's face was sinister. Having declared his name, his intention was to intimidate Ding Fan. Yet, even after knowing his identity, Ding Fan had still slapped him in front of so many people, and this was a grudge he would remember.
Li Guangzhi, supporting himself with his hands, tried to get up from the ground. However, what shocked him at this moment was that his legs felt as if they weren't his own, tingling incessantly.
Li Guangzhi didn't think much of it; he assumed his legs had simply gone numb without him realizing it.
"You bunch of useless fools, what are you still doing lying there? Help me up!" Li Guangzhi shouted at his four subordinates on the ground.
Ding Fan had not been overly brutal with these four subordinates. Although they appeared bloodied, their injuries were not severe.
And the reason these four had remained prone without getting up was that, facing someone capable of using another person as a weapon, how could they dare fight again? Playing dead was their best choice right now.
At Li Guangzhi's command to retreat, the four finally got up from the ground and, discarding their armor, they helped Li Guangzhi up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute…" Ding Fan called out to Li Guangzhi.
"Your vicious dog injured people, and you think you can just walk away from those injured?" Ding Fan's eyes flashed a trace of coldness.
Among those bitten by the vicious dog was a little girl. Since he had already involved himself in this messy situation, Ding Fan certainly wouldn't leave things unfinished.
Li Guangzhi initially intended to say something bold, but for some reason, when he saw Ding Fan's look, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and for a moment, he felt as if he was being targeted by a wild beast.
Thereupon, Li Guangzhi pulled a checkbook out of his pocket, picked up a pen, and directly wrote out four checks for ten thousand each.
After handing them over to Ning Luoxi, Li Guangzhi then led his few battered and bruised followers, tail between their legs, and ran away...
Ding Fan and Ning Luoxi immediately distributed the four checks to the four people who had been bitten by the vicious dog.
"Young man, you better get going quickly. The people from the Li Family of Dongcheng are not to be trifled with. If you wait until they come back with more people, the situation will be difficult to handle," said a kind-hearted grandmother who approached Ding Fan.
Faced with the advice, Ding Fan just smiled, but he wasn't bothered in the least. Just now, while slapping Li Guangzhi, he had stealthily used a bit of True Qi to target it into Li Guangzhi's legs without anyone noticing.
If no one removed the True Qi from Li Guangzhi's legs, they would certainly be ruined. With the technology available on Earth, they would definitely not be able to heal Li Guangzhi's legs.
Previously, Xu Guanjie had been merely afflicted by the residual energies from a Spirit Stone, and that had nearly cost him his life, let alone direct True Qi.
Li Guangzhi had previously threatened to cripple Ding Fan's legs, so Ding Fan used this method as punishment.
However, the technique Ding Fan employed was very covert; even Li Guangzhi still did not realize what exactly Ding Fan had done to his legs…
