The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  Then he looked around, and seeing Han Yutong unscathed at a corner, breathed a sigh of relief.

  Within the fading light shield, Han Yutong looked at the boy at the entrance with her mouth agape.

  “President Tang…” She mumbled. Her beautiful eyes flashed with excitement.

  Then, her excitement turned into worry.

  President Tang might be proficient in martial arts, but Grandmaster Abu had supernatural powers. President Tang was no match for him!

  “I’m asking you a question, you filthy kid!” Grandmaster Abu became angrier when he saw that Tang Hao did not reply to him.

  Tang Hao smirked. He reached into the car, dragged out Grandmaster Bakar, and tossed him on the floor.

  “You’re looking for him?” He said mockingly.

  Grandmaster Abu’s demeanor changed when he saw that.

  ‘How did Bakar fail? And how was he beaten up so badly? Could the kid have done it by himself?

  ‘Did he have someone powerful backing him?’

  He looked around and saw no other people except for the driver who was still in the car.

  “Did you do this, you filthy kid?” Grandmaster Abu said through gritted teeth.

  “Yes, this is all my doing! And your Junior Brother what’s his name, Chacha? I killed him too. Of course, I turned that playboy Second Young Master into a dummy too,” Tang Hao said coldly as he stepped forward.

  Everyone was immediately shocked.

  Grandmaster Abu’s eyes turned round and wide. They flashed with killing intent as he glared straight at Tang Hao.

  He could not believe that the killer he had been searching for was the boy!

  Han Yutong was also stunned.

  She had somewhat guessed it, but it was nonetheless shocking to hear it from him.

  “So you’re the one who wasted Second Young Master!” The men in business suits roared. They reached behind them, pulled out guns, and aimed them at Tang Hao.

  “Hmph!” Tang Hao grunted coldly. With unimaginable speed, he rushed in front of one of the men and grabbed his gun.

  With a twist, the man grunted and the gun was pried from his hand.

  Tang Hao flipped the gun and smacked the man’s face with the gun’s stock.

  Bam!

  The man went limp and fell on the floor.

  Then, Tang Hao threw the gun at another man. He fell on the floor as well.

  That scene had shocked everyone who witnessed it.

  The remaining men came to their senses and started firing frantically at him.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! A volley of bullets was fired at Tang Hao.

  However, none of the bullets hit the boy.

  With gusts of strong wind swirling around him, his body moved rapidly and easily dodged all the bullets that were fired at him.

  Everyone became fearful when they saw that.

  ‘Oh my god! Is this kid still human?’ Even Grandmaster Abu was shocked when he saw that.

  Bullets were not as scary for a cultivator, but it would still be incredibly difficult to dodge so many bullets at the same time.

  Even Grandmaster Abu might not be able to do it, but the kid made it look so easy.

  Within the shield, Han Yutong’s eyes grew wider as the shock in her heart grew.

  She had a feeling that she was in a dream.

  Suddenly, she remembered something.

  The figure in front of him overlapped with the shadow of another figure in her memory.

  “Don’t tell me… it’s him?” She mumbled to herself, and her face displayed a look of utter incredulity.

  Bang! Bang!

  Two last shots were fired, and everyone was out of bullets.

  However, the kid in front of them remained unscathed.

  The men’s faces turned pale, and their hands that were holding the guns were trembling violently.

  Tang Hao rushed toward each one of them, and [dispatched] them with a karate chop to the neck each.

  Then, he turned around and regarded Grandmaster Abu coldly. “It’s your turn now!”

  “Don’t be too cocky, you filthy kid! You might have dodged the bullets, but you’re still no match for me! I, Grandmaster Abu, have terrorized Nanyang for the past two decades! A young kid like you can never hope to defeat me.”

  Grandmaster Abu rubbed the crystal on his ring, and a group of malicious ghosts pounced at Tang Hao.

  “Is that so?” Tang Hao smirked. He stomped his foot and an intimidating aura exploded from his body in all directions like the rushing tide.

  The malicious ghosts were terrified by the aura and ran away shrieking.

  Grandmaster Abu stood on the spot as though he was struck by lightning.

  All color was drained from his bony face and he was as pale as a sheet.

  ‘Oh my god! This aura… How is it possible? Is this kid an old monster?’

  Grandmaster Abu shuddered. He had never experienced this magnitude of fear before.

  “Impossible… This is impossible…” Grandmaster Abu muttered as he stumbled backward. He nearly tripped on his heels.

  “This… This must be just a show!” Grandmaster Abu’s demeanor was becoming mad. He rubbed the ring again and summoned forth the malicious ghosts.

  Then, he pounced at his black suitcase and opened all the bottles and jars, releasing everything within.

  Countless poisonous insects poured forth. A buzzing cloud headed toward Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao quickly scanned the situation and grunted nonchalantly.

  He flicked his wrist and a wave of jade talismans shot out.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The jade talismans exploded, and the ensuing fire burned away the poisonous insects and malicious ghosts.

  Thud!

  Grandmaster Abu’s legs went limp and he fell sitting on the floor. His face was already ghastly pale.

  Tang Hao grunted coldly. With another flick of his wrist, three jade talismans shot out and exploded on Grandmaster Abu’s body.

  After the fire died down, only a pile of ash was left.

  The factory fell silent.

  Han Yutong was still hiding in a corner. She was in a daze as she looked at the boy.

  “It’s him! It’s really him!” She mumbled repeatedly.

  The figure in front of him had fully overlapped with the silhouette in her memory.

  No wonder she felt familiar when she first saw him.

  It was really him!

  Han Yutong could not hold back her emotions.

  After that night, that figure had appeared occasionally in her dreams. She tried searching for that figure for a long time, but to no avail.

  She did not expect that the person had always been right next to her.

  She covered her mouth as tears of joy brimmed in her eyes.

  Suddenly, she stood up, ran forward, and fell into Tang Hao’s arms.

  Chapter 166 - The Patriarch of the Luo Family

  Tang Hao was shocked as the tender body fell into his embrace.

  Then, he smiled, lifted his hands, and patted her shoulders. “Everything’s OK now!” He said gently.

  He had thought Assistant Han was still shocked by the ordeal.

  Han Yutong hugged him tightly. Her delicate body was trembling and she cried like a rainstorm. It was partially because of the shock she had suffered, and partially because she could not contain her joy.

  Tang Hao thought that the scene was poignant but eventually found it to be rather awkward.

  He coughed gently. His face was already bright red.

  Han Yutong did not notice that. Instead, she hugged him even more tightly.

  A long while later, she finally stopped sobbing and slightly loosened her hug.

  “You lied to me!”

  She gritted her teeth, and her charming face flashed with a hint of indignation.

  Then, she clenched her petite fist and punched Tang Hao’s back.

  Tang Hao was surprised. “When did I lie to you, Assistant Han?” He sai
d, a little confused.

  Han Yutong released her hug. Her round and beautiful eyes stared at Tang Hao. “You lied to me! You saved me that night, but when we met at the office a few days later, why did you pretend that we’ve never met before?

  “Isn’t that lying to me? Furthermore, you’ve never mentioned to me about it ever since. Are you planning to conceal that fact from me forever?” Han Yutong became angrier as she spoke.

  Tang Hao awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

  It was not a particularly memorable incident to him, and that was why he did not bother mentioning it to her. He had thought that Assistant Han had forgotten all about it.

  “It’s not that convenient to mention it, right?” Tang Hao said with a grin.

  Han Yutong straightened her brows. “Don’t you know that I’ve been looking for you for so long? Now that I’ve found out that the person is my boss, I feel that I’ve wasted my time.”

  Tang Hao had no reply to that and instead grinned awkwardly.

  “Hmph!” Han Yutong lifted her chin. Then, her mood changed and she became ecstatic.

  Her boss had always been her hero. That was the best possible outcome.

  She looked at Tang Hao again. Her heart was all aflutter.

  She always had a good impression of her boss. Her boss was friendly and humble and had protected her when Luo Feng came looking for trouble. Now, she felt that her boss was the best in the entire world.

  She looked closely at him again, and thought that he was somewhat handsome too…

  ‘Too bad he’s a little too young for me…’

  “Ah!” She blurted, then her face blushed like the sunset sky.

  ‘Pah! Pah! What am I thinking?’ She wagged her head to clear her mind of those thoughts.

  Tang Hao was confused when he suddenly saw her blush madly. He scratched his head, then spoke to Han Yutong. “Turn around for a while and wait for me.”

  Then, he walked toward the black Audi.

  He knocked out the driver, then burned Grandmaster Bakar to ashes with a jade talisman.

  The two so-called Grandmasters were actually hitmen. They took money from rich people and used their supernatural powers for evil. Who knew how much innocent blood was spilled by their hands? With the Grandmasters dead, there would be less evil in the world.

  The remaining people in business suits and the driver should be Luo family underlings. Tang Hao was not a bloodthirsty person and did not intend to kill them. They should be handed over to the police instead.

  The people there would suffer enough just from the crimes of kidnapping and illegally owning firearms. The Luo family should be busy for a while from managing those problems.

  He took out his phone and called Captain Zhou. Then, he walked toward Han Yutong.

  “I’ve already informed the police. The police will record our statements when they’re here. Don’t mention anything about the Grandmasters. I don’t think the Luo family people will mention them either.”

  “Alright!” Han Yutong turned around and agreed.

  Her big and beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Tang Hao and asked him, “President Tang, just… who are you? And who are the two Grandmasters?”

  Tang Hao pondered over the question for a while and said, “Well, you can consider me a Taoist master. As for the two Grandmasters, they’re shamans from, what, Nanyang? They’re different from Taoist masters, but they also wield supernatural powers.”

  “Oh!” Han Yutong regarded Tang Hao a little differently, “So you’re a Taoist master!”

  “No, I’m not a Taoist master! But I’m not too different from one!” Tang Hao urgently explained.

  “Oh!” Han Yutong nodded, not quite sure if she understood.

  Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the silence in the factory.

  Tang Hao was surprised. He looked around, then walked toward one of the men in business suits.

  Tang Hao took out a phone from the man’s pocket, and he raised a curious eyebrow when he saw the name on the call notification.

  “Old Master Luo? Is it… that person?”

  The Luo family was the typical aristocratic family that ran a business empire. However, the patriarch truly in charge was the previous president of Luo Enterprises: Luo Wei, who was also Luo Feng’s grandfather.

  According to rumors, Luo Wei was the person who had singlehandedly built Luo Enterprises from scratch.

  Tang Hao pressed a button and answered the call.

  “Is it done yet? Have you found out who wasted Feng’er?”

  An aged, hoarse voice was heard over the phone.

  “Why aren’t you talking? Did something go awry?” After hearing no response, Old Master Luo’s tone of voice changed.

  Tang Hao smirked. “Hello, Old Master Luo! My name is Tang Hao. I believe you should know who I am!”

  The other end of the phone was silent for a while.

  “Why is it you? How did the phone get in your hands?”

  “Shouldn’t it be obvious?” Tang Hao said impassively.

  “They’re all dead?”

  “No. The two Grandmasters are, though!”

  The other end of the phone was silent again.

  Evidently, Old Master Luo could not accept the shocking news.

  “Let me lay this down for you, Old Master Luo. I’m the one who killed the Grandmasters, and I’m also the one who wasted that Luo Feng. I didn’t kill him because I respect your authority.

  “If you dare to disturb me or the people who are close to me, then you can be sure that I’ll be taking my revenge! I’ll return the favor tenfold!

  “You can try that if you don’t believe me. Don’t regret it though!

  “Oh, right, about your grandson. I’m the only one who can cure him. If you dare cross me again, then don’t expect me to help you.”

  After that, Tang Hao ended the call, threw the phone to the ground, and stomped it into bits.

  Chapter 167 - Another Taoist Master From Mao Mountain

  In a mansion in the countryside of Provincial City.

  An old man with snowy white hair put down the phone in his hands.

  He carried a grim expression on his face and extreme shock in his heart.

  The boy was the one who had killed Grandmaster Chacha and wasted Feng’er, his grandson. Now, even Grandmasters Abu and Bakar were dead.

  Who was this person named Tang Hao?

  He knew how powerful the three Grandmasters were. Grandmaster Abu was considered one of the top shamans in Nanyang. How was he defeated?

  He picked up the document on the table and looked at it again, then chuckled drily.

  The document wrote that Tang Hao was a seventeen-year-old kid from a mountain village, and there was nothing noteworthy about him.

  How was that possible!

  ‘Lies! They’re all lies!’

  In a fit of rage, he tore the document in half and tossed it into the wastepaper basket.

  He was sullen for a long time. Then, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

  The call was picked up soon. “Hey! Who is it?” A loud and hearty voice was heard.

  He sounded like he was tipsy.

  Old Master Luo immediately smiled. “Taoist master Qing Yun! I’m Luo Wei. Do you remember the Luo family? I’ve asked for your help once.” His tone of voice carried some respect in it.

  “The Luo family? That sounds familiar… Oh, I remember now! Old Master Luo! Why, is there anything?”

  “It’s like this, Master, someone has wasted my grandson Luo Feng, and now he’s an unresponsive dummy. I’ve discovered that person’s identity, but he’s too powerful. I need your help, Taoist Master.

  “This person is extremely sinister and evil. Not only has he wasted Feng’er, but he also threatened to ruin my entire family. Please, Taoist Master Qing Yun, use your powers to save my family and restore justice.

  “Of course, I have something for you as a small token of appreciation. I remember that you like alcohol,
Taoist Master Qing Yun. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of precious liquor in the Luo family cellar.”

  Meanwhile, Taoist Master Qing Yun almost could not control his excitement.

  “Haha! You’re too kind, Old Master Luo. People from Mao Mountain are enemies of evil, and it is our duty to fight evil and restore justice. When I, Qing Yun’zi, come for the bad guys, they can only pray for a quick death.”

  He sounded like he gulped down another mouthful of liquor, then laughed out loud.

  Old Master Luo joined in with the laughter. He was finally at ease.

  As powerful as a shaman from Nanyang might be, they cannot defeat a Taoist Master from Mao Mountain!

  Unfortunately for the Luo family, people for Mao Mountain fought for justice rather than for money. They did not accept tasks that harmed innocent people, so they were not as close to the Luo family as the Nanyang shamans.

  After he ended the call, Old Master Luo sat on his chair. His face had a vicious expression.

  “You filthy kid, I’ll see how you can run rampant against a Taoist Master from Mao Mountain!”

  After that, he picked up his phone again and dialed another number.

  …

  In a factory in the countryside of Westridge District.

  Tang Hao was telling Han Yutong about what happened that day when his phone suddenly rang.

  He took out the phone to see that it was from an unknown number.

  He answered the call and immediately heard Old Master Luo’s voice.

  “I understood what you said earlier. Don’t worry, I won’t lay a finger on the people close to you. However, the matter isn’t settled yet. I will be going to Westridge District tonight. We can meet up and have a chat!”

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows.

  Old Master Luo should have known that he was powerful, but had insisted on meeting him. The old Master might be bringing another equally powerful cultivator with him.

  He thought for a while then answered, “Alright!”

  Old Master Luo was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Tang Hao to reply so quickly.

  “You’re a brave one!” Old Master Luo smirked. “I’ll see you tonight!”
