Chapter 217: Chapter 216, Aspiring to be like Cao Cao Xu Wendong knew. Even though Fang Cong was stubborn, there were some things he would have to relent on by tomorrow... It would absolutely make him want to die rather than live. An unbearable pain. While eating, Su Li received a call from Zheng Yun about the road construction. Su Li said it was too complicated to discuss over the phone, so after the meal, she handed over the dishwashing to Fang Cong and went to Zheng Yun’s house. Thus, the village committee was left with only Xu Wendong, Fang Cong, and his bodyguards. "Xu, did you purposely add so many chili peppers?" Fang Cong asked furiously, his face flushed red from the heat. His gaze was filled with anger. Previously, he had refrained from confronting him because Su Li was present, but now that Su Li had left, he had no qualms. "You said to add more chili, didn’t you?" Xu Wendong laughed. Earlier, he had sensed Fang Cong’s malicious intent toward him, so he saw no need to hide his own. "Damn!" Fang Cong swore, then said, "Do you even know who I am? I, Fang Cong, the future heir of the Fang Family of the Provincial City." "Do you know the status of the Fang Family in the provincial city?" "I’m telling you, Li Li is my fiancée, and you’d better stay away from Li Li in the future." "Otherwise, you will regret ever being born into this world," he said, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, "So, Secretary Su has already become your fiancée, huh!" Fang Cong was instantly enraged, "Why the hell are you so excited about that? Do you want to be Cao Cao?" Xu Wendong rubbed the tip of his nose, giving a meaningful smile, "As a man, who doesn’t fantasize about being Cao Cao? How can a pure young girl compare to the allure of a married woman?" he said, giving him a knowing look. Fang Cong’s face was dark, his intent to kill undisguised, "You are indeed candid, but some people are not yours to desecrate. Especially my woman; just with what you said earlier, you’ve already paved your path to the Underworld!" "I will make you understand the consequences of opposing me, and let you know that in my eyes, you are but an ant I can crush at any moment." With that said, he looked toward an elderly man in gray. The elderly man understood, and with a blank expression said, "Xu Wendong, you have disrespected my Young Lady. Today, I will personally judge you..." Before he could finish speaking. Xu Wendong gestured for silence, "Shh, did any of you hear footsteps?" The old man responded unhappily, "Why are you being suspicious? Why didn’t I hear any footsteps..." He didn’t finish his sentence. His voice abruptly stopped. He looked as if he saw a ghost, staring in horror at the figure standing at the village committee entrance. It was a hunchbacked man about five foot tall, appearing to be in his sixties, gaunt to the bone, and leaning on a dark iron cane. The iron cane, whose material was unknown, emitted an eerie glow under the night sky. "Iron... Iron Cane Xia Wujue?" The gray-clad elder felt his scalp tingle, the dark iron cane exuding a powerful sense of oppression. Because Iron Cane Xia Wujue was a first-rate master in the martial world, ranked tenth on the Potential Dragon List, he was definitely a legendary figure. However, he never expected to encounter such a rare and illusive presence here. Rumor had it that wherever Xia Wujue appeared, bloodshed would follow. Fang Cong was also dumbfounded, feeling a strong sense of crisis. Although the two elders beside him were first-rate masters, Xia Wujue was a super master ranked tenth on the Potential Dragon List. Even though he had several bodyguards with him, he did not think he could win against him. While everyone was on edge, Xia Wujue spoke in a hoarse voice, "Xu Wendong, did you know someone placed a two billion bounty on your head?" ??? ??? Fang Cong and the others were dumbfounded. What did that mean? Was Xia Wujue here for Xu Wendong? No way. Could such an obscure village doctor really be worth a two billion bounty? Though unsure of what was going on, Fang Cong’s anxiety lessened, as long as Xia Wujue wasn’t here to kill him. As for Xu Wendong... Death at anyone’s hands is still death, right? "Two billion!" "I’m only worth two billion?" Xu Wendong grew more furious as he spoke, saying to Xia Wujue, "Go back and tell the people of the Wanlong Association that I am quite dissatisfied with this bounty, and they’d better raise the amount." Fang Cong became intensely nervous inside. It turned out the Wanlong Association had offered a two billion bounty for Xu Wendong’s life! My God! The Wanlong Association was the top-ranking organization in the provincial city’s underworld forces. Even the Fang Family had to show some respect for their strength. "Having accepted the Wanlong Association’s bounty, whether it’s two billion or two bucks, I must bring back your head!" Xia Wujue’s face remained indifferent, as if discussing a trivial matter. Xu Wendong shook his head with a smile, "You, a long-renowned master in the martial world, should know that money is just a worldly possession. You’ve worked hard to achieve your current status, so why throw your life away for such trivial money?" Xia Wujue’s aged face twisted into a horrifying smile, "Such a paltry sum as two billion is of no value to me. What matters is I took this bounty mainly to get out and find some excitement!" After speaking, the cane in his hand shot through the air like lightning, slicing through the night sky with a piercing whistle. Seeing this scene. Everyone knew Xu Wendong would undoubtedly be struck by Xia Wujue’s cane, or even killed on the spot. After all, the strength of a super master ranked tenth on the Potential Dragon List was indisputable. Not to mention his cane thrown, even a mere stone could easily kill. But just as everyone thought Xu Wendong was doomed. He suddenly thrust out his right hand. The next moment. The cane Xia Wujue had thrown found itself strangely gripped in his hand, leaving everyone wide-eyed and dumbfounded. Because many people knew that Xia Wujue’s cane weighed a hundred and eighty pounds. And now, with the cane flying at high speed, its force would surely multiply several times over. Yet, who could have imagined Xu Wendong caught it effortlessly with his bare hands? Could it be physics didn’t apply here? Before everyone recovered from their shock, Xu Wendong threw the cane, and with a faint whistling sound, it struck against Xia Wujue’s chest heavily. Subsequently, under countless horrified gazes, Xia Wujue flew backward, as if hit head-on by a speeding truck, spitting blood as he soared backwards. "Wah~~~" Xia Wujue flew more than ten meters, landing as he vomited blood continuously. His face turned pale as wax, his pupils filled with astonishment. He seemed unable to comprehend Xu Wendong’s overwhelming strength. Fang Cong and the others stood utterly flabbergasted on the side. To crush Xia Wujue, ranked tenth on the Potential Dragon Chart, in one move? Was Xu Wendong still human?
