Chapter 1523 Call for People II
“Huh?”
Xia Luoqing was momentarily left stupefied by Xu Que.
“Is he so direct?”
“Is he so arrogant?”
“Well, since you know what’s going to happen, why do you still dare to come along?” Xia Luoqing was thinking as he soon regained his composure. He was devising his battle plan in his head, and he just calmly smiled.
He sat down facing Xu Que. The service staff hurriedly turned around to leave and closed the door of the private room on their way out.
Although this type of situation was not common in the restaurant, the staff were aware of the ident.i.ty of the young master of the Xia family. When Young Master Xia wanted to deal with people, then of course they had to pretend not to see anything and simply slip away.
However, it seemed smart to at least inform his boss.
As the staff left the room, it suddenly became very quiet.
Xu Que and Xia Luoqing eyed each other. The two men’s eyes had the same looks of self-confidence and contempt for the other.
“Xu Que, you have no idea what you’re going to face. In fact, I’ve heard of you. You’re someone who supposedly defeated more than a dozen of people in the Taekwondo Club,” Xia Luoqing said and picked up a gla.s.s to drink water.
“I have to say. A person like you may be considered outstanding in the university. Well-versed in your studies and skilled in martial arts, you do have the abilities to be haughty, but unfortunately…the opponent you’ve encountered is me.” At this point, Xia Luoqing’s lips curled up into a sneer and his face was full of disdain and mockery.
In his view, no matter how powerful Xu Que was, he was still unarmed and defenseless. Even if he had been skilled in kung fu, he still would be afraid of a kitchen knife. To deal with a person such as Xu Que, it would be like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut if he, Young Master Xia, were really to put his ident.i.ty to use.
“Oh, is that so? Then you must be pretty amazing.” Xu Que was still smiling and spouted some inconsequential, phony words.
“Xu Que, you’re so irksome. However, you’re also a smart person. I can give you one last chance. Either you stay far away from those two women, or…ha, ha, ha.” Xia Luoqing felt that it was no longer necessary to spell out the words explaining what would come after. Any normal person would know the score when they’d heard this.
However, Xu Que wasn’t exactly normal. He wore a nasty smile on his face and winked at Xia Luoqing, “I know, I know. But are the people that you called for here yet? How many people did you call for? Better call out for more to be on the safe side.”
BANG!
Xia Luoqing became full of rage when he heard this. He slammed his hand on the table and growled, “Xu Que, you don’t know a good thing when you see it. Even if I cripple you right here, right now, or even make you drunk and throw you off the roof, there’s no way for you to get out of this alive.”
“Wow, the stakes are getting pretty exciting. I feel I should give it a go.” Xu Que pretended to panic but his tone was full of excitement.
He was also going to carry out all that Xia Luoqing had threatened him with fully on Xia Luoqing.
CLICK!
At this time, the doork.n.o.b was suddenly twisted open by someone, which was closely followed by the door being pushed open. Several middle-aged men in tracksuits walked in. At a glance, these people seemed very ordinary, except that they had better physiques than most middle-aged men. Their appearances were nothing out of the ordinary.
But on a second glance, it was possible to see that these people’s stances were straight and tall. They had a slightly imposing manner, their eyes had slightly penetrating stares, and they felt slightly overbearing.
“Young Master Xia?” When they came in, they first looked at both Xu Que and Xia Luoqing, but then all their eyes were focused on Xia Luoqing.
“That’s right, it’s me.” Xia Luoqing nodded and remained in his chair.
These middle-aged men just looked at Xu Que as they asked suspiciously, “And you are Xu Que? Are you the one who supposedly achieved the Innate Realm to release your Inner Qi?”
Xu Que grinned and looked at them before he replied, “What the h*ll does it have to do with you?”
“Oh, you arrogant kid! It’s impossible for a 20-something-year-old kid to achieve the Innate Realm. We’ve come at this time to expose you as a fraud. You’re so young and do not set a good example. How dare you pretend to be a grand master who can release your inner Qi.”
One of them snorted coldly and immediately adopted a stance as if ready to ward off an attack.
This was equal to a declaration of war on Xu Que.
PAH!
“Only a few people have come. It’s still not enough.” Xu Que looked disgruntled as he shook his head. He took out his cell phone and started to play with it. He didn’t pay any attention to anyone at all.
At first, they thought Xu Que was calling for people, until his cell phone rang out with the POW! POW! POW! sounds of gunshots, as well as a male commentator’s voice. Only then did they realize that this guy was actually playing a game.
“You b*stard!”
The middle-aged man who reacted first growled in anger. He took firm strides forward and shot out a palm toward Xu Que. This palm was particularly powerful, vigorous, and imposing. It went straight for Xu Que’s forehead.
The corners of Xu Que’s lips curled up in a sneer, and he remained sitting in his chair. He slightly moved his head to the side and easily dodged the palm. It was closely followed by a lift of his right hand and his elbow directly b.u.mped into the middle-aged man’s waist.
BANG!
With a loud thud, the middle-aged man suddenly retreated two steps from the impact. Next, he gave a painful cry and held his waist as he crouched down on the ground.
AAHHH!
“What?”
Several of the other middle-aged men were suddenly startled by this scene.
They couldn’t imagine how Xu Que had managed to strike just now and be able to dodge that palm attack and also to complete the counterattack and instantly overcome their companion. He obviously was…
An expert. He was a dab hand.
These middle-aged men were instantly shocked out of their minds. “This kid was only in his early 20s. How could he be so powerful?”
Xia Luoqing was also a little startled, and his eyebrows went into a full frown. He’d wondered to himself in secret if Wu Hui had deceived him that he was a good Martial Arts grand master. “What kind of master could he be? He’d been brought down by Xu Que so quickly?”
“What do you guys say? Do you want to keep fighting?” Xu Que looked up this time and glanced at the few middle-aged men standing around.
Several of the middle-aged men immediately appeared furious and glared at Xu Que.
With the disparity in strength, they really didn’t have to fight anymore. These people were all well aware of their respective strengths. Everyone had swapped pointers with one another and practiced with each other. Generally, the outcome of the duels that they engaged in wouldn’t be determined in less than 200 rounds.
But Xu Que had been able to overcome one of them with one strike. His strength was obviously way above them, but this guy was too arrogant. They really couldn’t give vent to their anger without a fight.
“What’s the use of anger? You’ll still get a beating from me, won’t you? Forget about it. You’d better hurry up and call for more people. Just get all the grand masters that you know of to come over here,” Xu Que said again, taunting them.
However, he was serious about what he said. He wanted these people to call for more and more powerful people.
“The grand masters? Oh, young man, I’m afraid you’re still not qualified to let our Master make his move!” A middle-aged man sneered.
Xu Que’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise, “So, there’s really a grand master. And he’s your Master? Quick, hurry up and call him over. Oh, that’s right, does your master have any brothers and sisters who also practice martial arts? Call them to come all together too as well as the other grand masters they know. Just call all of them here.”
“I want to beat up dozens of them!” Xu Que said excitedly, getting ready to attack with his fists.
His words and actions completely infuriated the middle-aged men.
“Such arrogance, how dare you speak and insult my Master! Then you’d better not blame us today for not sticking to the code of honor and forgetting to fight fair.” One of them finished speaking and exchanged glances with several others.
WHOOs.h.!.+
The next moment, a few people shot out at the same time and rushed toward Xu Que.
According to the rules of the Martial Arts world, it was normal to have a one-on-one duel.
Xu Que had overpowered their companion with one strike, which made them realize that Xu Que’s strength was above theirs. To continue with a one-on-one fight, the odds of winning would be zero, so no one issued a one-on-one challenge again.
But when Xu Que opened his mouth and showed disrespect to their Master, then a few of them found an excuse to make their moves together. They were no longer required to adhere to the rules of the Martial Arts world, because this was also one of the rules of the Martial Arts world.
They might not defeat him one-on-one, but it might not necessarily be the case if it was five people against one. The saying “four hands are better than two fists” was not said just in fun.
Several of the people were full of confidence that by combining forces, it would be enough to deal with Xu Que.
However, Xu Que was still very calm. He didn’t panic and simply placed the cell phone next to his gla.s.s. He seemed to have especially adjusted the angle, while his right palm draw a circle at waist level and suddenly pushed forward.
BOOM!
A sound of a blast in the air could be heard and a violent wind rolled into a ball as a golden dragon-shaped form as thick as an arm with bared fangs and claws brandished, directly rushed toward several of the middle-aged men.
“What?”
“The release of Inner Qi from a grand master in his early 20s?”
“What…that’s impossible!”
Several of these middle-aged men were shocked, but it was too late to escape. They were blasted by the golden dragon on the spot, and their bodies immediately flew up to heavily strike against the wall in the room.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Along with heavy impact sounds, even the walls had been cracked. Several of the middle-aged men fell to the floor, unconscious on the spot.
Other than Xu Que and Xia Luoqing, the only person still conscious was the middle-aged man who had been struck in the waist by Xu Que in the first place.
And, at this moment, the room fell into a dead silence.
The middle-aged man was dumbstruck.
Xia Luoqing was also freaking out.
“Was this…the Eighteen Dragon Palms? Could he really get the dragon to appear.”
