Chapter 22: The Underworld King’s Bloody, Savage Assault

Not only Jin Peng, but everyone in the bar thought Lin Xi was joking.

"Lin Xi, even though that butcher is stronger than my bodyguard, Jin Peng has fifty men under him, and they are all armed. There is absolutely no way the butcher can stand against them," Su Lei couldn't help but warn her.

Shen Huamei and the others thought the same. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone when the opponent has one hundred hands, all holding weapons. No matter how capable Ye Huan was, he couldn't possibly defeat so many people.

Lin Xi smiled without a word; when it came to brute force, she had complete confidence in Ye Huan.

"The butcher?"

Jin Peng paused for a moment before realization dawned on him. "I heard you got a marriage certificate with a butcher. So, he’s the one."

He burst into a loud laugh. "That’s hilarious! Lin Xi, you actually think a butcher can take on all of us? Have you lost your mind? Hahahaha..."

Just then, Ye Huan walked up to Jin Peng and asked, "Is it funny?"

Jin Peng, clutching his stomach from laughter, replied, "It's funny, it's hilarious, hahahaha..."

*Slap!*

Ye Huan struck Jin Peng across the face and asked, "Do you still find it funny?"

Lin Xi began to laugh. Although she loathed Ye Huan and harbored deep resentment toward him, she had to admit that the way he hit people was incredibly dashing.

Su Lei and the others were completely stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes; this butcher actually dared to slap Jin Peng. Was he tired of living?

"You..." Jin Peng stared at Ye Huan in shock, raging, "You—you dare hit me? Kid, do you know who I am? No one in all of Pengcheng has ever dared to touch me. Do you want to die?"

*Slap!*

Ye Huan struck Jin Peng’s face again. This blow was even more powerful than the first, sending Jin Peng spinning in place before he collapsed to the floor.

Ye Huan stepped on Jin Peng’s head and asked, "No one dared to hit you before? That’s only because you hadn't met me. If you had run into me sooner, you would have been beaten a long time ago!"

It was too cool... Lin Xi’s face flushed with excitement, her fists clenched, and she could feel the blood in her veins boiling.

However, Su Lei and the others looked at Ye Huan as if he were a dead man. In their eyes, by slapping Jin Peng twice and stepping on his head, Ye Huan had sealed his fate. Once Jin Peng gave the order, those fifty thugs would surely beat Ye Huan to death.

*Sigh*, a butcher is just a butcher; he’s far too reckless!

"You bastard..." Jin Peng’s ears were ringing, and his head felt like it was spinning. When he tried to scramble up, his head remained pinned under Ye Huan’s foot. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't break free.

This sent him into a fit of fury. He roared, "What are you idiots standing around for? Kill him! Beat him to death!"

The fifty thugs, already seething with indignation, rushed toward Ye Huan the moment they received the order.

"Let’s see who dares to move!"

Ye Huan stepped down with an imposing air onto Jin Peng’s left arm. A hair-raising crunch of bone echoed through the room; Jin Peng’s arm was shattered by the sheer force of the stomp.

"Aaaah!" Jin Peng let out a blood-curdling, inhuman shriek of agony.

"This..." The fifty thugs froze in their tracks, staring in shock at Jin Peng’s twisted, mangled arm before casting wary, fearful glances at Ye Huan.

They had seen ruthless people—in fact, they were ruthless themselves—but they had never seen anyone as savage as Ye Huan. He had shattered Jin Peng’s arm as casually as if he were chatting about the weather.

It was simply too brutal!

The expressions of Su Lei and the others were even more exaggerated than those of the thugs, and their inner turmoil far greater. As pampered young masters and heiresses of wealthy families, they had never witnessed such a bloody and violent scene.

He truly lives up to being a butcher! It was too bloody! Too savage!

Su Lei suddenly felt a wave of lingering fear, followed by a sense of relief. Thank goodness he had knelt and apologized to Ye Huan earlier; otherwise, it would have been his arm being crushed.

Others felt a pang of panic. They had mocked Ye Huan and urged Lin Xi to divorce him while he was away. If Ye Huan found out, they might end up with broken arms or legs too.

Lin Xi’s expression remained unchanged, a smile still gracing her face. Watching Ye Huan crush Jin Peng’s arm, she felt nothing but pure satisfaction.

"Screaming so loudly—I guess it really hurts, doesn't it?"

Ye Huan stepped back onto Jin Peng’s head, his tone indifferent.

"You..." Jin Peng forcibly swallowed his agony, stifling his cries, and bellowed, "What are you trash standing there for? Forget about me! Kill this bastard! Kill him, kill him!"

The fifty thugs, having witnessed Ye Huan’s brutal treatment of Jin Peng, were already beyond furious. Waiting for the command, they charged at Ye Huan once more.

"Impressive spirit!" Ye Huan gave Jin Peng a complimentary remark before kicking him away with great force.

With a series of screams, the flying body of Jin Peng knocked over seven or eight of the thugs. After kicking him aside, Ye Huan grabbed a chair from nearby and charged into the crowd of thugs like a tiger among sheep.

"Oh my god, who knew this butcher was so powerful!"

Watching Ye Huan fight like an unstoppable warrior, wielding the chair and leaving a thug bloodied or broken with every strike, someone exclaimed in shock.

"Fifty against one, is this butcher even human?"

"He’s a monster. Su Shao’s bodyguards are nothing compared to this butcher."

"No wonder it only took him half an hour to torture Xiang Yingxin into that state. A man like that—forget Xiang Yingxin, even I couldn't handle him."

"Let this be a lesson to us: never mess with butchers. Butchers of cows, sheep, donkeys—anyone in the slaughtering trade—must not be provoked. In their eyes, humans are no different from the livestock under their blades."

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Lin Xi thought that once tonight's events spread, no one would ever dare to provoke him again.

However, she noticed several girls looking at her with strange expressions. She couldn't help but ask one nearby, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The girl said with a look of admiration, "Lin Xi, your physical stamina is truly impressive. That butcher spent over half an hour wearing Xiang Yingxin out, and yet you look perfectly fine."

Lin Xi’s face darkened instantly. "We didn't do anything!"

"Then you better get ready to walk while leaning against the walls," the girl whispered with a lewd smirk. "That butcher doesn't seem to know how to be gentle. Also, make sure to keep some swelling ointment at home."

Lin Xi: "..."

At that moment, Lin Xi suddenly thought: *If he’s ever taken advantage of me, why am I not as miserable as Xiang Yingxin?* She shook her head—*Bah! What am I thinking about?*
