Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Proud and Unbowed, How Can I Bow My Head? _1
Many people saw this as a golden opportunity. Everyone knew that Su Chengyu bore a grudge against the Black Dragon Commerce Association, and it was impossible for him alone to confront the Association, as it would be like a moth attacking a flame.
Therefore, the residents of Lin Jiang knew that Su Chengyu wouldn’t last long. It was only a matter of time before he died at the hands of the Black Dragon Commerce Association.
And now, Feng Huaqiang had personally arrived to recruit him, promising great benefits and eventual promotion to Hall Master of the Black Dragon Commerce Association. This was virtually a guarantee for power and influence in Lin Jiang, not to mention elsewhere.
Lin Zhiyuan was thrilled when he heard this news. If Su Chengyu became the Hall Master of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, the Lin family would benefit from his success. His dream could be more easily realized.
"It’s a very tempting offer. I don’t think anyone here could refuse it." Su Chengyu replied with a casual smile.
"The Black Dragon Commerce Association values talent. Your potential has earned you this golden opportunity. If you cross the Association, you are treading on a path towards death." said Feng Huaqiang.
Lin Zhiyuan elbowed his way to Su Chengyu, whispering, "Mr. Su, this is a golden opportunity. What are you hesitating for? You should accept right away."
Su Chengyu glared at Lin Zhiyuan, who quickly fell silent.
"I appreciate your offer, Mr. Feng. However, I prefer my freedom and don’t like being constrained. And I certainly don’t want to be anyone’s lapdog," said Su Chengyu unsparingly.
Feng Huaqiang narrowed his eyes and responded, "Only those with power and strength can talk about freedom. With your strength, you are hardly qualified to negotiate these terms. Su Chengyu, I’m giving you another chance to join the Black Dragon Commerce Association. There’s a great future awaiting you; don’t decline out of haughtiness. Many cut their heads for this chance and still don’t meet our standards."
Feng Huaqiang’s domineering attitude was evident. He was clearly peeved.
"Alright, I can join the Black Dragon Commerce Association, but I have one condition," said Su Chengyu after a moment’s thought.
"Go ahead." Feng Huaqiang barely nodded.
"Return my sister to me."
"What sister? I don’t understand what you’re talking about," Feng Huaqiang responded.
"My sister, Su Xiaoxiao. She was kidnapped. Wasn’t this your Black Dragon Commerce Association’s doing?" Su Chengyu never really intended to join the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Its reputation was notoriously bad in Jiangdong. Its members were arrogant and tyrannical. If he bowed to Feng Huaqiang’s threats and joined, he would defeat the purpose of his cultivation journey.
He asked about Su Xiaoxiao not out of sheer curiosity, but determination to find her. He wanted to explore his options.
"The Black Dragon Commerce Association has not kidnapped your sister. If you have any other conditions, please say them now," Feng Huaqiang said, annoyance creeping into his voice.
"Well, I don’t have any other conditions. In that case, Mr. Feng, you may leave," responded Su Chengyu.
Feng Huaqiang didn’t react at first. Noticing Su Chengyu’s refusal, he pulled out a token from his pocket and said, "This is the leader’s token from the Black Dragon Commerce Association, your symbol of identification. Keep this token safe. From now on, you are part of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, and you must obey all orders unconditionally. Or else, it’s a dead end."
Su Chengyu replied with a faint smile, "You misunderstand. When I asked you to leave, I meant to convey that I refuse to join the Black Dragon Commerce Association."
Su Chengyu’s words left the crowd puzzled. They thought he was foolish to pass on such an opportunity; it was both outrageous and foolhardy.
"Wasn’t he blatantly opposing the Black Dragon Commerce Association? Isn’t he courting death?"
Feng Huaqiang’s face darkened. He narrowed his eyes, an angry flame flickering within them.
"You dare mock me?! Today, you will die if you don’t agree! Su Chengyu, do you think I am joking? You don’t know how to appreciate what’s good for you! Why do you dare to reject the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s recruitment?!" Feng Huaqiang roared.
"I dare because I’m Su Chengyu. I have a backbone and a fervor in my veins. I will never stoop to be a lackey of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, nor will I assist evil deeds!"
Su Chengyu took a step forward and thundered, "I have a fiery spirit and a defiant pride in my heart. Making a strong statement, his charisma exploded.
Xu Nanzhi and Fang Qing, standing nearby, were not surprised by his words. Fang Yue said to Fang Qing, "I didn’t expect this jerk to have such a backbone."
"Sister, you’re prejudiced against him. That’s his charm," Fang Qing boasted.
Fang Yue snorted, thinking that compared to Su Cheng, he was still far behind.
Lin Zhiyuan, however, sighed secretly. He muttered to himself about Su Chengyu, this fool, who really didn’t know how to live.
Feng Huaqiang laughed coldly, "A man on the brink of death lecturing about backbone and integrity... it’s laughable! Dead men have no right to talk about anything. Since you don’t appreciate kindness, I will see to your end."
As he finished speaking, Feng Huaqiang instantly unleashed a formidable aura, an invisible wave of power spreading out. The surrounding individuals fell back immediately.
Su Chengyu said to Xu Nanzhi, "You should step back."
"Be careful," Xu Nanzhi warned him.
Li Yuancang and Zeng Yifan stood up from their seats, walked over to Su Chengyu, and said, "We fight alongside you."
"You two step back. His strength is that of a Great Grandmaster’s. You two can’t handle him," warned Su Chengyu.
"We can’t just let you face it alone, can we? Anyway, I’m not afraid of death. Brother Fan, what about you?" Li Yuancang asked, laughing.
Zeng Yifan shrugged and replied, "I was granted a second shot at life. Even if I die today, it wouldn’t matter."
"The two of you, with your low strength, can easily be killed by me in a single move. Come at me together. This funeral can become an even grander spectacle!" Feng Huaqiang sneered, not paying heed to anyone present.
"Stone Sword Edge, stop them."
Su Chengyu unleashed his energy and decided to strike first. Stone Sword Edge forcibly stopped Li Yuancang and Zeng Yifan, dragging them both aside.
"There is no need for you two to rush to your deaths. Your willingness to help is enough, but you can’t make any difference in a battle between Great Grandmasters," Stone Sword Edge explained.
Su Chengyu struck with Grand Achievement Fist. Now that he had reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation stage, the power of the Grand Achievement Fist had dramatically increased. His punch thundered outward, a howling gust of wind accompanying it. Irresistible!
"Suicidal!"
Feng Huaqiang stood there, hands behind his back, observing Su Chengyu’s attack. He wasn’t threatened in the slightest. According to the information he had, Su Chengyu’s strength was only a mid to high ninth grade. It was not at all on the same level as his).
And here he was, at the fourth level of Great Grandmaster. His strength was at the pinnacle in Jiangdong.
A mere ninth-grade Grandmaster could be crushed in the palm of his hands!
However, when Su Chengyu’s punch arrived in front of him, it was covered by a layer of Gang Qi (energy). Feng Huaqiang slapped with his right hand and nullified Su Chengyu’s punch.
"Gang Qi? You are a Great Grandmaster!"
Feng Huaqiang’s face was one of shock. He decided then and there that he had to kill Su Chengyu today. His talent was too scary.
"After killing Zheng Chunhua, he broke through again. Such a talent is a huge threat. He must not be allowed to remain alive."
"It’s not only you who can become a Great Grandmaster!"
Su Chengyu, altering his fist technique, displayed Rushing Style. Feng Huaqiang also activated his Gang Qi to combat his move. The fact remained that Feng Huaqiang was a fourth-level Great Grandmaster, and his strength comfortably surpassed Su Chengyu’s.
With a massive shudder from the counter force, Su Chengyu flew backward and crashed onto the ground.
Within two moves, the outcome was decided!
The crowd was in an uproar!
