Chapter 385: Assistance

"You scoundrel!"
Han Jingfei was enraged as they provoked his younger sister. He smacked out his palm which was burning red.
This was Han Family's "Giant Thunderclap Palm" which was a powerful martial arts technique. There would be no problem for one who possessed such a technique to cultivate into a Wu Zong and there was even a possibility for him to reach the Meridian Opening Realm.
Of course, although Han Jingfei was impetuous, he was not an idiot. While he hollered, he had already secretly hinted his servants outside to return home quickly to ask for help before he fought against the two brothers.
"Thunderclap contains the strength of both thunder and fire! Your Thunderclap Palm only has fire strength while its thunder strength is not even formed and you dare to embarrass yourself with such a half-baked skill?"
The youth in green shirt smirked and extended his right hand too. "Look at the prowess of my Mystic Jade Technique!"
As he extended his arms, his skin was changing along and turned into crystal clear jade-like skin, as though it was beautifully carved from jade. The green shirt youth was intentionally showing off as he channelled 90% of his strength to display his technique. He wanted Han Jingfei to suffer under him.
As Fang Yuan watched the scene unfold, his eyebrows frowned slightly.
The green shirt youth was vicious. If no one stopped him, Han Jingfei would be severely injured.
"Bang!"
The two palms clashed and their energy could be felt.
A choking noise could be heard as one of them was thrown back and smashed into the wall. Lots of wine and dishes spilt on his body; he was ravaged and kept shrieking in pain.
"Eh?"
The pupil of the youth in blue shirt shrunk as he smashed the wine cup in his hands, "Junior?"
He ran forward to the green shirt youth's side and saw his brother crying in pain while holding his right hand. Part of his arm's bone was jutted out and exposed as blood flowed down continuously. It was as though his arm was run over by some sort of beast.
"Senior..."
Tears dripped from the green shirt youth's eyes as he whined, "His....his palm strength is so weird! You have to seek revenge for me!"
"Rest assured!"
The blue shirt youth's hands grabbed on to his junior's arm bone with lightning fast speed and pushed it back. Under the crisp sound of bones being aligned, the green shirt youth's eyes turned white as he fainted.
The blue shirt youth's hands did not stop moving as he dexterously applied spiritual medicine on his wound and bandaged it. From how fast his fingers moved, it was evident that he was very experienced in doing it.
Moments later, the blue shirt youth stood up and looked at Han Jingfei. He had a serious expression never seen before on his face as he said, "I, Lan Feihong from Mystic Jade Sect, pay my respects to Brother Han. My junior was impudent in his words and was a little disrespectful, but why did you have to be so heavy-handed?"
The blue shirt youth now viewed Han Jingfei as some sort of hidden young skilled martial artist. Inside his heart, it was burning with anger.
Furthermore, even he himself could not realise that Han Jingfei was so skilled in martial arts, which meant that Han Jingfei was much more powerful than he imagined.
"I..."
Han Jingfei was still stunned as he stood still at his spot, "I don't know anything..."
"Wait a minute, the two of them might not be as powerful as I thought. It might just be some sort of trickery when they crushed the wood into powder..."
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Jingfei became braver and shouted at the two of them, "Humph! You two useless thugs dare to come to Four Elements City and brag shamelessly but did not even bother to check whose territory is this! I am just teaching you a lesson!"
"Ok!"
Lan Feihong heaved a long breath and his eyes glistened, "Can Brothen Han teach my humble self a few techniques?"
"Humph! How dare you quacks try to be cocky..."
Han Jingfei was sniggering, but suddenly, his eyes turned round and mouth turned agape like a toad.
This was because, in front of him, Lan Feihong was secretly channelling his technique. Around Lan Feihong's body, a green light was sparkling and turned into the shape of a jade rod which he held tightly in his hand.
At the same time, he was continuously exuding a fearsome might that seemed to be linked to the heavens and earth.
"Projecting elemental energy? Giving elemental energy from the outside of one's body? He is a ... Wu Zong..."
Han Ling'er who was at the side covered her mouth in shock.
She had only seen before such a projection and fearsome might from her grandfather's body, who was a Wu Zong.
"It... it is fake…...but no quack would be able to imitate a Wu Zong! Could what he said be true..."
Han Jingfei mouth's felt intensely bitter as though he just drank the most concentrated bitter wine and almost could not speak.
Han Jingfei had only just broken through the 4 Heavenly Gates and cultivated his Yin and Yang. He did not even reach the stage of an Earth Gate martial artist nor cultivated his miniature elemental force yet and would, therefore, be a piece of cake for a Wu Zong!
"Please engage!"
Opposite him, Lan Feihong did not seem to believe Han Jingfei was just a weak martial artist and viewed him as someone who was playing dumb to gain an advantage.
Han Jingfei's gaze intensified as he thought, "Till now, I can't even detect anything abnormal from him, his hidden martial arts techniques must be extremely powerful! I cannot be careless!"
With such a thought, Lan Jingfei moved his hands mightily as he revealed his esteemed technique, "Cloud Rod 8 Strike!"
Immediately, Han Jingfei saw the Wu Zong charge towards him with both his hands transforming elemental force into jade rods. The shadow of the two rods reflected their unlimited power.
Furthermore, a powerful thought had already viciously invaded his mind as he could not move and remained still like a small rabbit that met a ferocious tiger.
"Brother!"
Under the shadow of the rods, only a girl's screams of terror could be heard.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud boom erupted and the elemental energy projection dispersed at once. Han Jingfei stood still at the same spot and stared at his own finger in astonishment.
Opposite him, Lan Feihong looked at the bloody hole in his chest and could not believe what just happened.
Moments before, the Han Jingfei who had no ability to retaliate suddenly raised his hands and shot out a sword essence that annihilated the rods' shadow and left a gaping hole on Lan Feihong's chest.
"What a powerful sword essence! I concede defeat!"
Lan Feihong let out a wailing laughter before a hateful look appeared on his face, "Just that the way you do things... is too unscrupulous..."
"What... what did I do? How come I don't know what's happening..."
Han Jingfei was on the verge of tears.
He was frightened by how he raised his hands and released the sword essence just now.
"Hmph! My skills are inferior to yours! What else is there to say?"
Lan Feihong looked below and saw numerous people had already arrived outside. Leading that group was a tall and well-built elder with a long beard and mighty look.
"Who dares to harm my grandson?"
"Humph!"
Lan Feihong clenched his teeth and carried his green shirt junior in one hand while breaking through a window with the other. He leapt out of the restaurant and fled far away like a bird.
"Impressive Lightness Skill! A Wu Zong indeed!"
Han Family's Elder then went up the restaurant and lightly patted Han Jingfei's face, "Grandson... it's fine now, with grandpa here, no one dares to harm you!"
"Grandpa!"
Han Ling'er tugged Grandpa Han's sleeve and said, "Others didn't bully us, it was big brother who was bullying others!"
"Eh?"
Grandpa Han's eyes widened at once, "Although that guy is young, he is no doubt a Wu Zong! You all were bullying him?"
"Grandpa... I was!"
Han Jingfei squeezed out an expression even uglier than a crying expression as he said, "They claimed to be from Mystic Jade Sect and were beaten by me! I... I brought trouble to Han Family!"
"Mystic Jade Sect? One of the three big sects in Leaf Lake? The Mystic Jade Sect with a Wu Zong in the Meridian Opening Realm as their head?"
Grandpa Han almost choked to death as he heard what his grandson said. He immediately opened his eyes wide and scanned the surroundings.
As Grandpa Han was older and wiser, he had much more worldly experiences than his grandson. He knew that even if ten Han Jingfei fought against one Wu Zong, the Wu Zong would still defeat them with ease unless someone was secretly providing assistance.
The restaurant was in a total wreck and many of the customers had already run off as they feared trouble. Only the shopkeeper and a waiter were hiding in a corner.
Nevertheless, there was still a table that remained unscathed. The customer on it was even happily enjoying his wine which was very odd looking compared to the surroundings.
"Greetings, friend!"
Grandpa Han went forward and greeted this young man while sizing up him with his eyes.
The man was very young and appeared to be 20 years old only. However, he had sword-like brows, star-like eyes and appeared solemn and out of the ordinary. He was dressed like a normal martial artist. He slightly lifted his head to reveal a bright smile as he greeted, "Since you have come, why not have a drink, Elder!"
"That sounds good!"
As Grandpa Han tried to probe, he could not figure out what this young man's cultivation was and felt uneasy. Nevertheless, he still amiably sat down and lifted his wine cup, "I, Han Xiaotian, toast you! Can I ask what is your name?"
"Fate caused us to meet, why bother to ask if we met before..."
Fang Yuan smiled, "My nickname is Crazy Knife. Pardon me for teaching those two young ones a lesson for being arrogant!"
"Indeed!"
Han Xiaotian had a look of realisation on his face.
Han Jingfei and Han Ling'er who stood beside Han Xiaotian finally realised their benefactor was right there. Their curious eyes kept looking at Fang Yuan as they sized him up.
It was especially so for Han Ling'er as her face turned slightly red.
"Wow! Looks like there's some advantage to having a beautiful face!" Fang Yuan thought to himself.
Fang Yuan was speechless at such a scene as he caressed his cheeks.
As Fang Yuan changed his appearance, he slightly improved his looks to fit the beauty standards. His current face was already much better than his previous one and he could be deemed as a pretty boy.
"Furthermore, this pair of brother and sister look like nice people and I guess fate brought us together which is why I decided to help them against such bullies!"
"Thank you very much..."
Han Xiaotian was very much speechless.
This was originally a small issue as his grandson would have just learned his lesson after being defeated. However, with Fang Yuan's so-called assistance, they had now offended Mystic Jade Sect! It was truly unlucky for the Han Family.
"Helping them my a*s!" Han Xiaotian thought.
Inside Han Xiaotian's heart, he was definitely very frustrated and vexed.
Nonetheless, since they had already offended Mystic Jade Sect, they could not bear to offend another person. Han Xiaotian still forced a smile and appeared cheery.
"Great, since this trouble was caused by me, I will settle it!"
Fang Yuan had already completed more than half of his goal and he immediately heroically continued, "I just finished cultivating in the mountains and I'm looking forward to testing my skills! If Mystic Jade Sect comes after you all again, I will settle them myself!"
"I was waiting for you to say this!" Han Xiaotian thought.
Han Xiaotian's eyes sparkled as he could not contain his smile and thanked Fang Yuan profusely. He even warmly invited Fang Yuan to stay with Han Family.
"How... how could I trouble you!"
Fang Yuan acted like he was rejecting the offer which made Han Xiaotian anxiously use up all his pleasantries to make Fang Yuan accept the invite.
