Dragon Emperor, Martial God

The sight of the man of their dreams falling to the ground sent the surrounding girls screaming. Their high-pitched screams rang throughout the whole school, comparable to an air raid siren.

Their lips parted.

With flushed cheeks and her brilliant eyes that were half closed, Xue Meining gasped for her breath as she asked, “What’s going on?” completely clueless.

Ling Yun tilted his head and took one look at Li Qingchuan, who was currently leaning on Tang Meng’s arm, unconscious. He thought to himself, “If I knew you were going to pass out, it would’ve saved me all this trouble!”

He turned around swiftly to look at the school’s main road. Nothing else could be spotted apart from a few students scrambling away in a state of panic. A mysterious smile crept onto Ling Yun’s face.

“Ah! Big Brother Qingchuan!” Xue Meining shrieked as she immediately noticed that Li Qingchuan had fallen to the ground. Quickly, she turned around and crouched down towards him.

All she wanted was to tell Li Qingchuan the fact that she truly saw him as her brother and nothing else. However, she did not expect that Li Qingchuan would be so agitated to the point where it would trigger a heart attack.

A hint of apology flashed through Xue Meining’s eyes as her expression morphed into one of sheer panic. She knew that Li Qingchuan’s congenital cardiovascular disease differed from any other ordinary cardiovascular disease and that only her grandfather was capable of saving his life.

Suddenly, Xue Meining turned around and yelled at Ling Yun, “Big Brother Ling Yun, Big Brother Qingchuan is suffering from a heart attack, come and save him!”

Apart from Xue Meining, no one present at the scene knew that Ling Yun was the only person capable of saving Li Qingchuan right now.

“Don’t worry, with me around, he wouldn’t be able to die even if he wanted to!” Ling Yun flashed a smile as he took the leather needle pouch out of his pocket.

As Ling Yun opened up the leather needle pouch, he yelled at the helpless Tang Meng. “Why are you still standing there? Come over and remove his shirt quickly!”

“Wah… What is that? Silver needles!” The surrounding girls shrieked as they saw Ling Yun opening up the leather pouch.

……

“Damn, Li Qingchuan fell down, what’s going on?”

“Ling Yun actually pissed Li Qingchuan off this badly, isn’t he scared of what Li Qingchuan’s father might do to him?”

“This fellow…”

“Look there, quick! Damn, there are so many people. Someone’s here to cause trouble!”

“Good lord. There are so many people and they’re all holding baseball bats. What do they think they’re doing, a movie shoot?”

Within a minute of Li Qingchuan collapsing to the ground, Tu Gang and his gang had arrived. Soon enough, everyone caught a glimpse of them as the gang took a turn towards east on the school’s main road.

Even though Blissful Boy was mortified, he is far from stupid. He knew that these 30-odd people came to Qingshui High to start a fight and cause trouble, thus he took his own sweet time to delay them. For a route that was less than 400 meters, he wasted quite a few minutes of their time.

All 30-odd of them were dressed in black suits with baseball bats in their right hands. With their awe-inspiring presence and their killer vibe, they walked in a horizontal line, taking up the entire width of the school’s main road, as if they were a black human wall pushing forward.

Their arrogance and grandeur were simply too cool!

They were unbothered by Blissful Boy delaying their time because they had a lot of time to spare. Their plan was to drag Ling Yun out of class during his lesson and beat him to a pulp.

That ought to teach him a lesson!

They took a turn and arrived before the East Teaching Block, not without attracting the attention of all the students on the block. Their mere presence immediately struck fear into the hearts of these high school students and they all looked petrified.

“Damn, there’s so many people. Who’s got beef with these gangsters this time?”

“I’m guessing this isn’t a small issue. Just wait and see, someone’s in deep shit this time!”

“I hope it’s not someone from our class, sigh…”

“Are they here for me? I just got into a fight with someone on the road yesterday. Damn, I’d better hide…”

The whole gang had their gaze fixed as they marched towards Grade 12 Class 6 with Tu Gang and Blissful Boy taking the lead.

Tu Gang glanced at the crowd before him and was unable to contain his happiness as he chuckled, “As it turns out, Qingshui High is having quite the party today!”

Blissful Boy was also stunned by the scene before his eyes. He thought to himself, “What’s going on today, why are there so many people crowding around here? What interesting incident did I miss out on?”

Tu Gang’s gaze changed into a death glare as he shouted at the crowd before him, “The Green Dragon Gang is here to settle some dispute, so for those who don’t want to die today, get out of my sight!”

As it turns out, Brother Kun’s gang was named the Green Dragon Gang.

Since this city was named Qingshui City and Brother Kun’s name was Long Kun, he decided to name his gang ‘The Green Dragon Gang’ back when he was building up his reputation and started his gang 10 years ago.*

The Green Dragon Gang had reigned supreme and retained their throne in Qingshui City for the past ten years and their power and influence has since spread towards the nearby provinces. They were a true example of a dominant force whose name struck fear in anyone’s heart!

In Qingshui City, even a 7-year-old kid knew the definition of the words ‘Green Dragon Gang’. Thus, it was to nobody’s surprise that when the students of Qingshui High caught wind that the Green Dragon Gang was here for trouble, they all kept their mouths shut out of fear and did not make a sound.

The 200-odd students surrounding Ling Yun could no longer be bothered with anything else and began to scatter everywhere, hiding wherever they could.

Zhang Ling also got dragged by the crowd towards the stairs. By the time she managed to settle down and looked up, all she saw is Tu Gang leading the Green Dragon Gang. All colors drained from her face immediately as she quickly screamed at Ling Yun, “Ling Yun, they’re here to exact their revenge!”

The school compound that was previously bustling with noise was now in pin-drop silence. Thus, everyone was able to hear Zhang Ling’s loud screams!

Well, not only does Ling Yun attract beautiful girls, but he attracts trouble too?

Wei Tiangan was now downstairs when he hears Zhang Ling screaming that the Green Dragon Gang was here for Ling Yun. His body began trembling out of excitement the moment he heard the news.

Hmm, as arrogant and cool as you are, finally someone powerful is here to start a fight with you! Wei Tiangan thought as he flashed a tiny smirk.

Right now, Cao Shanshan was still leaning on the corridor railing when she saw Tu Gang leading the Green Dragon Gang. She quickly gathered her composure and emotions, furrowed her brows and turned around to run right down the stairs!

Ultimately, when Ling Yun and Tang Meng were fighting in the Savant’s Restaurant, both her and Zhang Ling were present at the scene. Both of them knew how Tu Gang’s grudge against Ling Yun came about.

To people who were involved in gangs or shady business, injuries such as cracking their skull, breaking their wrists and getting slapped were the most intolerable out of everything that could possibly happen. What Cao Shanshan did not expect was for them to be daring enough to cause trouble in school in broad daylight.

Right now, everyone in school wanted to stay as far away from Ling Yun as possible. Only two people out of everyone in the entire school were running towards Ling Yun and Tang Meng!

One of them was obviously Cao Shanshan and the other, without a doubt, was Ning Lingyu!

Actually, all sorts of stories and news about Ling Yun were spreading like wildfire in school this morning. Before one could die down, another story would come up. Grade 12 Class 1 was also filled with news as such, but there was someone who kept calm throughout the chaos.

That person was Ning Lingyu!

She was truly calm and collected, unlike Cao Shanshan who was suffering within but chose to put up a front.

Ning Lingyu witnessed Ling Yun single-handedly tossing people into the air last night with her very own eyes. Apart from being unfazed by the 100-odd gangsters, Ling Yun even extorted 600 thousand dollars from their boss. It was at that moment that she knew her brother had definitely undergone some world-shaking experience and was different from any other ordinary human.

At least, he was no longer an ordinary person, but instead a lot stronger than one.

With a brother like that, Ning Lingyu would obviously be unfazed by any shocking remarks regarding him. Even her mother was calm and did not question anything, why would she have to worry?

Thus, when she heard the news coming in thick and fast, even though she seemed a little annoyed by the fact that two beautiful girls were here for Ling Yun, all she did was furrow her brows and nothing else.

However, when she heard someone outside her classroom shouting, “The Green Dragon Gang are here to cause trouble!” Ning Lingyu knew immediately that this definitely had something to do with Ling Yun. It was only then that she darted out of her classroom.

Just like Cao Shanshan, by the time she saw that Tu Gang was the one leading the entire gang, she rushed downstairs immediately without hesitation and dashed towards Ling Yun.

Right now, the entire school compound was in complete silence. Everyone was holding their breath as they looked at Ling Yun and the people around him in sheer terror.

There were only four people there. Ling Yun, Tang Meng, Xue Meining, as well as Li Qingchuan who had just been undressed, lying on the ground!

Before the Green Dragon Gang appeared, Ling Yun had already heard their footsteps from far away, thus he did not find their arrival shocking; whereas when Tang Meng and Xue Meining looked up and saw the Green Dragon Gang marching towards them in a horizontal line, they still managed to settle down after a slight panic.

Ling Yun was able to handle over a hundred gangsters. There were only 30-odd people here, of course, they had nothing to worry about.

“Boss, Tu Gang brought the Green Dragon Gang to exact their revenge. What the hell, turns out he’s from the Green Dragon Gang, no wonder he was being so cocky that day.”

Nearly a thousand people were watching the gang close in on the four of them. While everyone tried to hide from them, the two prettiest campus belles of Qingshui High recklessly chose to run towards them instead!

They truly were a family, not backing away but instead running towards danger at such a crucial moment.

Everyone’s eyes were gleaming with respect for Cao Shanshan and Ning Lingyu and their faces spelled out admiration for them both. At the same time, they were also amazed by Ling Yun’s ability to stay calm!

Is this guy blind or deaf? Doesn’t he see that there are more than 30 guys approaching them? And they’re here for him!

Everyone had the same thought floating in their mind and began to worry about the four of them.

Zhang Dong and the nearby Chai Hanlin shared a glance and after a slight hesitation, a hint of determination flashed through their eyes. They both nod their heads at each other before dashing down the stairs to help them out, completely disregarding their lives.

Both of them were present at the previous fight and even though they were unable to help out then, they would not stand aside and turn a blind eye when Ling Yun got in trouble right now.

Both of them would feel immensely guilty and ashamed of themselves if they were to act more cowardly than a little girl like Cao Shanshan.

However, they were unaware that both Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan possessed great skills. Ling Yun alone could easily handle these 30-odd guys.

But when they both saw that Ling Yun was in danger, they overcame their fears and dashed right to their rescue!

Sha Guoxing exhaled a long breath and leaned on the railing. He looked at Gu Yuanlong and said, “Chai Hanlin headed down, are you going?”

Gu Yuanlong did not expect Sha Guoxing to be this fearless. While he was still hesitating on whether or not to make a move, Sha Guoxing flashed a smile at him before running down the stairs himself.

Gu Yuanlong could feel his skin going numb every time he thought of the possible outcome. However, the sight of Cao Shanshan, Zhang Dong, Chai Hanlin and Sha Guoxing rushing down one by one left him no choice. He gritted his teeth and began to run down the stairs!

“You owe me big time!” Gu Yuanlong uttered below his breath.

A few guys from Grade 12 Class 6 exchanged looks and also decided to make a move and dashed down the staircase.

As good teenage boys in their prime, even though they differed in personalities and had their arguments, most of them still chose to come forward whenever their classmate was in need of help!

“Hey, it really didn’t take much effort to find you two, who knew both of you would be right here?” Tu Gang exclaimed.

Tu Gang began to tease Ling Yun and Tang Meng who were crouching on the ground the moment he recognized the both of them.
