Chapter 1499: A Thousand Old Peach Blossom
“Iron Bull?”
w.a.n.g 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!”
w.a.n.g Yu was speechless…
Meng Xi stretched her head out from behind w.a.n.g Yu as she looked at w.a.n.g Yu and began laughing uncontrollably, “Yeah, hey, why are you doing all this?”
“F*ck off!”
w.a.n.g Yu was furious this time, “Let’s go. I have to see what kind of nonsense this Iron Bull is.”
w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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 gra.s.s in his mouth.
This lad was indeed similar to w.a.n.g Yu in stature and looks. Even his outfit and gloves set were the same as what w.a.n.g 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?” w.a.n.g Yu suppressed his raging anger and replied.
“Pah!”
The moment w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g Yu coldly scoffed, “What if I do not want to pay up?”
“Excuse me?” Upon seeing w.a.n.g Yu’s headstrong demeanor towards him, the lad sat up straight as he stared viciously at w.a.n.g Yu, “Are you not afraid of death? Do you know who I am?”
“Hm? Please enlighten me. Who are you?” w.a.n.g 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?” w.a.n.g 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?” w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yu, he was naturally not clueless as to how w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yu’s grasp?
After running for a few steps, w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yu’s force to propel himself forward and evaded w.a.n.g Yu once again as he readied himself in a battle posture.
“Unhindered Back Fist? You are?”
Upon seeing that lad battle posture, w.a.n.g Yu stopped in his tracks and inquired.
Before he said another word, the lad came rus.h.i.+ng over with a dagger aimed towards w.a.n.g Yu.
It turned out that his occupation was an a.s.sa.s.sin.
In the face of the oncoming attack, w.a.n.g Yu unhurriedly stretched out with his left hand to grab the a.s.sa.s.sin’s wrist as he gave it a hard squeeze.
“Aiya!”
The a.s.sa.s.sin’s hand was rendered numb as he unconsciously let his weapon fall to the ground.
The a.s.sa.s.sin saw that his right hand was immobilized but continued using his free left hand to attack.
How could w.a.n.g Yu let him do as he wished? With his right hand, he sent an upper chop to the a.s.sa.s.sin’s lower jaw and sent him sprawling to the ground with a backflip kick.
w.a.n.g Yu stepped forward a few steps as he restrained the a.s.sa.s.sin with a foot on his back.
“Aiya, Great G.o.d Iron Bull, I know my mistakes… Please let me go.”
w.a.n.g Yu definitely would not give him a chance to plead his case. He increased the force exerted on his leg to shut the a.s.sa.s.sin up. With a stern voice, he questioned, “Who are you?”
The a.s.sa.s.sin 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 w.a.n.g 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!” w.a.n.g 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 G.o.d 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?” w.a.n.g Yu glanced over at A Thousand Old Blossoms.
“Yes, yes!” A Thousand Old Peach Blossom nodded vigorously.
“This…”
w.a.n.g Yu was soft-hearted in nature. Upon seeking others beg for their lives like A Thousand Old Blossoms before him, w.a.n.g Yu’s anger subsided quite a bit.
w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yu were to let him off this time.
“Do you have money on you?”
Just as w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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.”
