Liu Kang narrowed his eyes to look at the hand that was on his shoulder before looking up at Huang Xie.
When he looked at him, Huang Xie looked right back at Liu Kang without any fear.
There was a tense silence that hung in the air as the two of them just stared at each other like this.
In the end, the one that broke the silence wasn’t either of them.
It was one of Liu Kang’s lackeys who broke the silence by pointing at Huang Xie and saying, “Who do you think you are? You dare grab our Big Brother Liu like this? You’re looking to die!”
Huang Xie just completely ignored this lackey as he continued matching gazes with Liu Kang.
When the lackey saw this, his face turned a bit red and his brows knitted a bit as he looked like he was angered by this.
Only before he could say anything, Liu Kang suddenly raised his other hand to stop the lackey from saying what he wanted to say.
The lackey had a surprised look on his face when he saw this, but Liu Kang just completely ignored him as his eyes were on Huang Xie the entire time.
After another moment of silence, Liu Kang asked, “Who are you?”
Huang Xie didn’t answer this question as he repeated, “I think that it’s time for you to leave.”
Liu Kang slightly knitted his brows when he heard this before suddenly throwing his head forward.
When he made contact with Huang Xie, there was a loud clanging sound that rang. This sound was similar to if two pieces of metal clashed with each other.
In the end, it was Liu Kang’s head that started bleeding slightly as the skin on his forehead had been ripped from the clash.
Liu Kang had a slightly dazed look on his face at first before he looked at Huang Xie in surprise and disbelief. It was as if he couldn’t believe that there was someone that was able to take his headbutt head on.
After all, the cultivation technique that Liu Kang trained in specialized in strengthening his body. Namely, it specialized in strengthening his body to the point where it was hard as metal so he could attack people with headbutts.
That was why their sect was named the Iron Head Sect in the first place.
Since Liu Kang joined the Iron Head Sect, he had never seen anything that was harder than his head when he strengthened it.
But today, there was something that was stronger.
When he looked more closely, Liu Kang found that there was a faint layer of green light that was around Huang Xie. However, that faint layer of green light didn’t last long as it quickly faded away.
If one wasn’t looking at it, they might not have known that it existed.
However, it was impossible for Liu Kang to miss it since it was what had cracked his head open.
Once the faint layer of green light disappeared, Huang Xie just calmly looked at Liu Kang without saying a word. Though the way that he looked at him made it clear what he was thinking.
Liu Kang narrowed his eyes to look at Huang Xie before suddenly saying, “We’re leaving.”
With that, Huang Xie let go of Liu Kang’s shoulder and turned slightly with a gesture as if he was saying, “Then please.”
Liu Kang narrowed his eyes even more, but he didn’t say anything as he led his people away.
As they were walking off, the same lackey couldn’t help moving forward to ask, “Big Brother Liu, are we really leaving just like this? Weren’t we supposed to cause trouble and lure out the Love Sect disciples?”
Liu Kang slapped that lackey on the back of the head before saying, “Why don’t you fight him then? A single headbutt was already enough to split my head open, if we kept going, there was no telling what he could do.”
Then in a more cautious voice, “He clearly wasn’t using even a tenth of his power and he was able to do all this…”
As his voice trailed off, the lackeys behind him looked at him with shocked looks.
He wasn’t even using a tenth of his power?
There was some doubt that filled them when they heard this, but they didn’t question him in the end.
After all, they knew just how powerful Liu Kang was, that was the reason why they followed him in the first place. So if he says that this was true, then it most likely was true.
Just who was that terrifying person that stepped up to stop them?
It was only Liu Kang who had an idea.
“That one from the Love Sect is said to have impenetrable defenses…Could it be him?” Liu Kang thought to himself, not knowing that he had hit the nail on the head.
…
“Are you alright?”
Once Liu Kang’s group left, Huang Xie reached his hand out to the beautiful girl whose legs had given out.
She just sat there in a daze over what had happened, not reacting to his hand at first.
But when she came back to her senses, she slowly reached for the hand while looking up at Huang Xie.
When she saw Huang Xie, she couldn’t help falling into a daze again.
That was because her heart skipped a beat and her breathing became faster when she saw his face.
This was a situation that many girls dreamed of, being saved by their prince charming one day. When she had been in danger, this handsome young man had come out of nowhere and had saved her.
Huang Xie couldn’t help feeling strange when he saw her looking at him like this, but he still waited for her to take his hand.
Only when she slowly put her hand in his did he help her up.
After helping her up though…
“You’re alright now, so I’ll be going.” Huang Xie turned to leave without a single extra word.
Others might have been attracted to her beautiful appearance, but it was different for Huang Xie.
It wasn’t because he had strange preferences, it was just that his heart was already set on someone else. It wasn’t as if he would be moved by someone that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and that he wouldn’t have any further interaction with.
Only the girl didn’t seem like she was willing to let go that easily.
She quickly reached out and grabbed Huang Xie’s sleeve before saying, “Wait, let me repay you!”
Huang Xie was caught off guard by the girl suddenly grabbing his sleeve like this.
He didn’t want to pull too hard and make her fall since he could see how fragile she was, but at the same time…he didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings. Or at least he hoped that he wouldn’t cause any misunderstandings, but his heart knew that a certain someone wouldn’t take it that way.
With a sigh, Huang Xie said, “Miss, I just did what anyone would do. Please don’t think too much about it.”
The way that he said this was like a slap to the face to the surrounding people, but they didn’t dare say anything since they had seen what had happened to Liu Kang. Someone that could split open Liu Kang’s head after receiving his headbutt definitely wasn’t a normal person.
They wouldn’t want to mess with a person like that.
Once everyone was gone, it seemed like the commotion died down.
Huang Xie had successfully caused trouble without causing too much trouble, but there was still something that was catching him. It didn’t seem like the girl was willing to let go of his sleeve.
So Huang Xie didn’t know what to do.
“It seems like you’re enjoying yourself.” Yu Huang suddenly teased Huang Xie.
There was a scowl that appeared on Huang Xie’s face when he heard this, but he turned to look at Xiao Ming since he cared more about what she thought.
Xiao Ming didn’t say anything as she just looked at the beautiful girl.
After a long silence, Xiao Ming asked, “What’s your name?”
The beautiful girl was surprised to hear Xiao Ming asking her this.
In fact, she had only been focused on Huang Xie, so she didn’t notice the other two that were there.
But the moment that she saw Xiao Ming, it was as if she realized something.
“Zhao Ling Jun.” The beautiful girl said in a calm voice, but it almost seemed like there was a trace of a challenge in her voice.
Xiao Ming gave a slight nod before moving over to the snack stall and saying, “Since you want to repay him, then let us have some snacks. Once we’re done, we’ll call it even.”
Huang Xie’s eyes lit up when he heard her suggestion before quickly nodding in agreement and moving over to the snack stall as well.
However, before he could sit down beside her, he found that Xiao Ming suddenly stood up.
Huang Xie just looked at Xiao Ming with a shocked look, but Xiao Ming didn’t look at him at all.
It almost seemed like she was angry with him with the way that she ignored him.
In fact, those that had sharp eyes would have seen that she hadn’t even bothered looking in his direction the entire time. It was as if she didn’t even want to see him at all.
Huang Xie just had a bitter look on his face when he saw her like this.
It was as if their relationship had gotten more complicated…
