Chapter 50 Angered Till Vomit Blood
Angered Till Vomit Blood
“Du Shaofu, you’re just trying to shrug off your faults, all of us were wounded by you!” Du Hao couldn’t resist, stood up and hollered at Du Shaofu.
“Why would I hurt you all?” Du Shaofu asked.
“We searched for you with my cousin brother to take back the Violent Stone Demon Wolf blood essence and the base-building dans. You refused to do so, and then hit us! In the end, you even took all of our possession.” Du Hao glared ferociously at Du Shaofu yelling aloud.
“That cousin brother of yours what was his cultivation level?” Du Shaofu continued with another question.
“Xiantian level.” Du Hao was baffled, but he answered just the same with a trace of pride. Having a cousin brother that is a Xiantian level warrior who is an Imperial Knight, there were many things to be proud of.
“Then, where is your cousin brother now?” Du Shaofu brought forward another question; these ten or so injured are part of Du Clan, but the silver-armored young man wasn’t.
Du Hao had blanked for a moment before he answered gritting his teeth, “My cousin brother returned to his encampment last night after being injured by you.”
“Based on what reason I have to return the Violent Stone Demon Wolf blood essence and the base-building dans to you?” A light flickered across unnoticeably Du Shaofu’s eyes as he asked.
“Fart, you snatched it from us, it was you who stole our things!” Du Hao growled. How could anyone person denies on front of so many elders and Patriarch?!
“Wrong, I won it; I didn’t take yours.” Du Shaofu insisted that he did not snatch any of their things.
“In front of so many people, don’t think you can deny it.” Du Hao almost roared furiously.
“Then, how should we settle the dans and xuanbi you robbed from me these ten years?” Another question came out of Du Shaofu’s mouth.
“Those items totaled to an insignificant number can’t compare even one-tenth of the blood essence and base-building dans.” Du Hao blurted out in a fury, and only realized what he said a moment later. His expression turned ugly.
A tiny smile crept up the corner of Du Shaofu’s lips, and then his gaze swept half a circle at the elders finally turned towards Du Zhenwu, saying, “Eldest Uncle, you heard it right, Du Hao admitted to taking ten years’ worth of my xuanbi and dans. And this time they were even worse, bringing his cousin brother to rob me midway, and in the end, falsely accusing me of injuring them, robbed them. His cousin brother is a Xiatian level warrior, could I have done that. I seek Eldest Uncle to give me justice.”
“Du Shaofu, you’re slandering!”
Du Hao glared a Du Shaofu as he thundered, and suddenly blood spurted out from Du Hao’s mouth, unsure whether it was due to his injuries or being stifled too much.
“You admitted that you took ten years of my xuanbi and dans, I didn’t lie.” Du Shaofu replied lightly.
“Although that is true, it is also a fact that you took away our blood essence and base building dans, and yesterday you hit us taking away all our possessions.” Du Hao almost shouted, at this time, he can only say whatever came to his mind; he doesn’t believe Du Shaofu will be able to twist everything in his favor.
“First, according to clan rules only the top three winners of the junior sparring competition are qualified to be rewarded the Violent Stone Demon Wolf blood essence and base building dans; and of course I can enter too. The three of you together aren’t my opponent, then the rewards go to me, are you eligible to receive them?”
Du Shaofu said as he looked at Du Hao, and when the words echoed through the Main Hall, everyone’s expression changed. Undeniably, what Du Shaofu said was correct; he is qualified to enter the juniors’ competition. Since Du Hao was defeated, the clan’s valuable resources should be given to the junior with the most potential. Although Du Shaofu’s action was a little overboard, however, at the same time, it proves his ability – one going against three. Ultimately, they only have themselves to blame for being weaker than the other party.
Du Shaofu continued without looking away from Du Hao, “Second, you only have yourselves to blame for lacking; bringing outsiders to make trouble for me, but ended up fighting internally and yet accusing me of injuring all of you. It is fine even if I beat up you guys since you have no capability, but please think that whatever cousin brother of yours is a Xiantian warrior, how could I have gone against him? It was him who did me harm yesterday and took away all my possessions. I did not plan to reveal this, thinking if I endure, all is fine and well. However, I didn’t believe that you would frame me! Du Clan having descendants like you guys truly shamed our Du Ancestors.
“…………………………..”
The big hall drowned in silence. Everyone’s eyes stared at Du Shaofu either in shock or dazed, is this really Du Shaofu? Really truly the very same Du Shaofu? The tens of nosy aunts plus Du Hao’s side of a dozen people still lost to Du Shaofu ah.
Du Shaofu’s words not only cleared himself clean as a slate, but he also scolded Du Hao, and the dozen people kneeling on the floor; meaning, you came to look for trouble with me, but failed and got beaten up instead. No ability still dared to shamelessly complaint about me, shamed oneself and even the ancestors are ashamed of you.
“Du Shaofu, stop spouting nonsense! You defeated Du Hao’s cousin brother with just one move. He wasn’t your opponent at all; you’re the one that hurt us.” Du Yan and Du Chong can’t hold back anymore and rushed out. All the victims were red in the face holding in their anger, probably would suffocate to death.
“Du Yan, Du Chong, according to age both of you is considered my elder cousin brothers; I am but your little brother ah. It’s fine that you don’t love me, protect me, and take care of me usually, but don’t side with them to deal with your brother!”
Du Shaofu had a heart ached expression on, then shouted towards Du Yan and Du Chong, “Use your brain and think, how can a broken veins martial waste that I am pushed back a Xiantian warrior. Although I can practice now, but do you think that I’m Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle or one of the Elders here that I can make a Xiantian warrior fall flat on his back. The truth was the other round; fortunately, I managed to escape, if not I wouldn’t be able to come to the Main Hall today.”
The audiences wavered. Several Elders wavered. A Xiantian warrior fell flat with one move from Du Shaofu is impossible, although he might be strong but probably not to this extent.
Some people in the Hall started to think that Du Hao, Du Yan, and Du Chong had exaggerated, they might have some losses, but with Du Hao’s cousin brother around for sure Du Shaofu won’t be able to retreat without some injuries too.
Moreover, Du Shaofu said something right, Du Yan and Du Chong are considered his elder brothers - bullying the young, if this matter spread out it really brings shame to Du Clan. To bring outsiders in to deal with Du Shaofu is really too much.
“Slander! Twisting black into white.”
“Puchi…”
A few of the young man’s blood reversed flow from insurmountable grievance that they spewed blood. How could there be someone that tricks others like this, now it became them that can’t get out of this pit whereby Du Shaofu is the victim.
“I twist black into white? If you disagree asked Du Hao to call out his cousin brother and we can deliberate. A Xiantian warrior came to Du Clan to bully me; perhaps he’s afraid Du Clan will punish that made him ran away.” Du Shaofu rolled his eyes at Du Yan, and Du Chong. Du Hao’s cousin brother was gone. Therefore there’s no way he can be here; it doesn't matter even if he’s here; the mouth is used for talking.
“You….You…. Puchi….”
Du Hao, Du Yan, and Du Chong spit blood, and their elders rushed up to check their wounds, feeling heartache.
“Eldest Uncle, my injury is quite serious, and two days ago I promised you to take part in the Five Families Juniors Competition; but it seems I won’t be able to participate, I need about a year at least to heal fully. I believe Du Hao, Du Yan, and the others would bring glory to our Du Clan in the competition. Oh right, about the dans and xuanbi that Du Hao, Du Yan, and Du Chong took, as well as the injury they caused me yesterday I would like Eldest Uncle not to blame them. After all, in one month’s time, they need to participate in the competition to uphold Du Clan's honor and glory. If there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself.”
After he had said that, Du Shaofu stood up, and walked out of the Main Hall, holding the box containing Spirit Ink Sword close to his chest.
“………..”
Once again the Main Hall was drowned in silence. Everyone was struck dumb and speechless, Du Shaofu’s words contained a different meaning – he’s not going to participate in the Five Families Juniors Competition; let Du Hao and the rest to go. However, it is clear as day to anyone that none of them is Du Shaofu’s opponent what’s the use of going then? Du Clan biggest hope without a doubt is Du Shaofu.
Although Du Shaofu said not to blame Du Hao, Du Yan, and Du Chong robbing his ten years’ worth of xuanbi and dans, it actually meant – returned my ten years’ worth of xuanbi and dans, and give a satisfactory explanation for yesterday’s event. Otherwise, the competition is irrelevant to him.
The silence lasted quite some time; no one imagined that it would turn out this way. The current Du Shaofu is definitely not the same as before, instead, it was Du Hao, Du Yan, and Du Chong that seemed insufficient.
Most believed it was Du Hao’s group that suffered losses, but too bad for those wounded and the nosy aunts unable to overcome Du Shaofu.
“Du Shaofu that little brat is too deceitful.”
“Did that little guy really endured for ten years.”
The Elders sighed in their hearts; being laughed at, ridiculed, and showered with endless abusive words for ten years; what extend of perseverance and state of mind it needs. And now, the young man needs not forbear. Du Hao, Du Yan, and Du Chong are now incomparable to him.
