Chapter 1499: A Thousand Old Peach Blossom
“Iron Bull?”
Wang Yu almost fell to the ground when he heard the name.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you know? Iron Bull is the professional league champion!” The Warrior eagerly explained, “The Kyushu Squad faced defeat at his hands. Don’t you know all of this?”
“Can I not know all of these!”
Wang Yu was speechless…
Meng Xi stretched her head out from behind Wang Yu as she looked at Wang Yu and began laughing uncontrollably, “Yeah, hey, why are you doing all this?”
“F*ck off!”
Wang Yu was furious this time, “Let’s go. I have to see what kind of nonsense this Iron Bull is.”
Wang Yu reached and grabbed Meng Xi by the collar. He spread out his wings and they headed in the direction of Ethel Mountain.
The players were dumbfounded at the scene.
“F*ck, what just happened?” The Warrior gazed at Wang Yu’s figure in the far distance and asked with a stunned expression.
The Magician shook her head, “Not sure, but that person is definitely not someone we can provoke.”
“How do you know?”
“Nonsense, he even dared to go and find Iron Bull? What do you think?” The Magician immediately gave him the middle finger.
…
Although he was carrying extra baggage, this did not affect Wang Yu’s flight speed. In four to five minutes, they reached the foothills of the Ethel Mountains.
The two did not reach far on the route to Ethel Mountains before they caught a glimpse of the man the Warrior described. He was lying lazily on the side of the road sun tanning with a piece of dry grass in his mouth.
This lad was indeed similar to Wang Yu in stature and looks. Even his outfit and gloves set were the same as what Wang Yu was wearing.
When he spotted someone walking over, he didn’t even lift his head as he casually quipped to the both of them, “A toll fee of hundred gold!”
“What do we do if we don’t have the money?” Wang Yu suppressed his raging anger and replied.
“Pah!”
The moment Wang Yu spoke, the man tossed over an emblem. He did not even lift up his head and answered, “This is the emblem of the Ancient Empire. This costs one gold coin for one emblem. Go to the city gates and form a blockade on the road here. Come back when you have enough money.”
“…”
Hearing what the other party had to say, Wang Yu coldly scoffed, “What if I do not want to pay up?”
“Excuse me?” Upon seeing Wang Yu’s headstrong demeanor towards him, the lad sat up straight as he stared viciously at Wang Yu, “Are you not afraid of death? Do you know who I am?”
“Hm? Please enlighten me. Who are you?” Wang Yu inquired with a raised eyebrow.
“Have you not heard of Iron Bull?” The young lad turned his face into a fierce and sinister scowl, “If you don’t want to die, hand over the money obediently! If not you will face the consequences of your actions.”
“Is that so?” Wang Yu pointed at himself and asked, “Are you Iron Bull?”
“Are you least you still know something!” The lad nodded back.
“Then who am I?” Wang Yu replied in a blank expression.
“How the f*ck who I know! I am not… Huh?” The lad was about to swear and scold but he couldn’t help but squint and frown as he got a closer look at the man before him. “How do you look so familiar? You are…”
Since this lad dared to impersonate Wang Yu, he was naturally not clueless as to how Wang Yu looked like. He immediately got a shock of his life when he recognised him and ran in the distance.
He was cursing his bad luck as he ran away.
F*ck, today sure is my unlucky day. I have scammed money for so long but it just so happened I had to meet the real Iron Bull today.
The lad sure had a way out when he decided to run away. Even without Wang Yu’s ability to fly, he was proficient in Qing Gong and was far more agile than most Archers.
How can this guy run away from Wang Yu’s grasp?
After running for a few steps, Wang Yu leaped over to the lad and pressed his leg down on his back.
It turned out that the lad was extremely flexible. He leveraged Wang Yu’s force to propel himself forward and evaded Wang Yu once again as he readied himself in a battle posture.
“Unhindered Back Fist? You are?”
Upon seeing that lad battle posture, Wang Yu stopped in his tracks and inquired.
Before he said another word, the lad came rushing over with a dagger aimed towards Wang Yu.
It turned out that his occupation was an Assassin.
In the face of the oncoming attack, Wang Yu unhurriedly stretched out with his left hand to grab the Assassin’s wrist as he gave it a hard squeeze.
“Aiya!”
The Assassin’s hand was rendered numb as he unconsciously let his weapon fall to the ground.
The Assassin saw that his right hand was immobilized but continued using his free left hand to attack.
How could Wang Yu let him do as he wished? With his right hand, he sent an upper chop to the Assassin’s lower jaw and sent him sprawling to the ground with a backflip kick.
Wang Yu stepped forward a few steps as he restrained the Assassin with a foot on his back.
“Aiya, Great God Iron Bull, I know my mistakes… Please let me go.”
Wang Yu definitely would not give him a chance to plead his case. He increased the force exerted on his leg to shut the Assassin up. With a stern voice, he questioned, “Who are you?”
The Assassin frantically replied, “I… I am named A Thousand Old Blossoms, I am your most ardent fan.”
“Most ardent fan?” There were lines that formed on Wang Yu’s forehead. If this was how an ardent fan was like, he would rather have none.
“I am speaking the truth.” A Thousand Old Blossoms interjected, “My outfit is completely modelled after you and this face is also shaped in your image.”
“Nonsense! If you didn’t look like me, how would you have scammed people of their money!” Wang Yu retorted angrily.
A Thousand Old Blossoms answered bitterly, “I am doing this just to sustain my family and to buy the bare necessities. If I had true ability, I wouldn’t have to resort to doing this… Great God Iron Bull, can you let me go on the account that I am your ardent fan. I will not repeat the same mistake.”
“Is that so?” Wang Yu glanced over at A Thousand Old Blossoms.
“Yes, yes!” A Thousand Old Peach Blossom nodded vigorously.
“This…”
Wang Yu was soft-hearted in nature. Upon seeking others beg for their lives like A Thousand Old Blossoms before him, Wang Yu’s anger subsided quite a bit.
Wang Yu knew that killing this kid would not resolve anything. After all, a player’s life is worth nothing in-game. He also couldn’t possibly follow the kid around everyday. However, it was simply too easy for the kid if Wang Yu were to let him off this time.
“Do you have money on you?”
Just as Wang Yu was still contemplating whether or not to trust this kid, Meng Xi appeared before A Thousand Old Blossoms.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
A Thousand Old Blossoms nodded incessantly.
“Hand it all over to me!” Meng Xi demanded with her hand reached out.
Since Meng Xi was together with Wang Yu, A Thousand Old Blossoms did not dare defy her orders as he fished out a money purse and handed it over to her.
“Oh, huh.” Meng Xi inspected the money purse and replied, “Looks like your work here has gotten you quite a bit of gain.”
“I am flattered! This is simply not worth mentioning,” A Thousand Old Blossoms replied modestly.
“Was I praising you?” Meng Xi glared at A Thousand Old Blossoms and took out a contract and handed it over to him, “Sign this.”
