Chapter 133: The Azure Dragon Pavilion

That night, Ye Tianci utilized the Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate, absorbing spiritual energy for the entire night.

He did not sleep a wink, yet by dawn, he felt exceptionally refreshed and energetic.

"My cultivation seems to have deepened by a notch overnight. This Blood Spirit Jade is truly a remarkable treasure!" Ye Tianci remarked to himself.

After breakfast, Lin Qingqian suddenly received a phone call. As she looked at her phone, her expression shifted instantly.

"What’s wrong? Whose call is it?" Ye Tianci asked.

Lin Qingqian handed the phone to him. "It’s Zhao Xiujie. He says he wants to settle the score with you for what happened yesterday."

Ye Tianci took the phone and spoke into the receiver: "This is Ye Tianci."

"Listen here, you bastard! You made me lose money, lose face, and get beaten up yesterday."

"I am not finished with you yet!"

"Let me tell you, you’d better come to the Green Dragon Club before noon! Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking it out on Lin Qingqian!"

On the other end of the line, Zhao Xiujie’s voice was venomous; he had resorted to threatening Lin Qingqian’s safety to coerce Ye Tianci.

Ye Tianci’s eyes turned icy cold in an instant.

He could tolerate threats against himself, but he would never allow anyone to threaten his woman!

Zhao Xiujie had provoked him repeatedly yesterday, and now he was resorting to threats—he was truly courting death.

Ye Tianci hung up the phone and said to Lin Qingqian, "It’s nothing. I’ve agreed to meet Zhao Xiujie at noon. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

Lin Qingqian said worriedly, "I’ll go with you."

Ye Tianci smiled. "No need. I can handle this small matter myself."

"Then you must be careful," Lin Qingqian urged.

Ye Tianci nodded with a smile, looking completely calm.

At noon, Ye Tianci took a taxi to the Green Dragon Club by himself.

The Green Dragon Club was located in a bustling area of Shu City and looked quite imposing.

Since it was midday, there were few cars in the parking lot and no one entering or leaving the entrance. Ye Tianci walked into the club.

The first floor was a high-ceilinged lobby, decorated in a lavish, golden style.

Several security guards were sitting in the corner lounge, chatting and loafing around.

On a large LCD screen nearby, the classic film "Fist of Legend" was playing, just reaching its climax.

Seeing Ye Tianci, one of them walked up. "What are you here for?"

"Looking for someone."

"You? Looking for whom?" The guard rolled his eyes.

"Zhao Xiujie. Tell him Ye Tianci is here."

Several guards scrambled over, surrounding Ye Tianci with hostile glares!

"You’re Ye Tianci?"

"So you’re the one who made Young Master Jie lose face and get beaten yesterday?"

"Why waste breath on him? Let’s beat him to a pulp and drag him to Young Master Jie; that’ll be our merit!"

"Get him!"

The guards lunged at Ye Tianci with sinister grins.

"Argh!"

Cries of pain erupted one after another as the guards fell to the floor, all of them suffering broken limbs!

"Quick! Get help! Someone’s causing trouble!"

One guard, enduring the pain, clicked his walkie-talkie to call for backup.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Footsteps echoed as over a dozen more guards rushed down from the second floor, clutching batons and steel rods. Without a word, they cursed and attacked Ye Tianci.

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

Ye Tianci surged forward, his strikes ruthless!

He showed no mercy!

In the blink of an eye, the dozen guards were all wailing on the ground, suffering the same fate of broken bones and severe injuries!

"Whoosh!"

The image on the lobby’s large LCD screen suddenly changed. A man wearing a green Tang suit appeared in the center of the screen.

The man in the Tang suit had a cold expression. He clapped slowly, and his voice filled the room: "So you are the Ye Tianci who humiliated my nephew yesterday?"

"That’s me!"

Ye Tianci stood with his hands behind his back.

The man in the Tang suit sneered, "You actually dared to come to my Green Dragon Club all by yourself! Very well!"

"I, Zhao Qinglong, will grant you that opportunity. I’m waiting for you on the fifth floor. If you have the guts, fight your way up!"

The screen flickered, the man vanished, and the display split into sixteen equal segments.

Each segment showed a scene of dozens of guards gathering—donning uniforms, putting on helmets, and grabbing weapons as they rushed out of their rooms in a hurry.

They were prepared for battle!

This was clearly the security surveillance for the entire club, covering both the interior and exterior.

Looking at the large screen, the corner of Ye Tianci’s mouth curled into a faint arc.

"If you had no substance, I would have lost interest. This is just enough to keep me entertained," Ye Tianci muttered to himself.

A second later, over twenty guards rushed in from outside the club, dressed in uniform and armed with sticks.

At the same time, a dozen more security personnel charged down from the second floor.

The two groups joined forces, sandwiching Ye Tianci.

"Kid, how many lives do you have to be causing trouble at the Green Dragon Club?!"

A guard who appeared to be the captain roared at Ye Tianci.

Ye Tianci ignored him and turned back toward the entrance.

"The kid is scared and wants to run! Don’t let him get away!" the captain yelled.

The crowd of guards swarmed forward, but when Ye Tianci stopped in his tracks, they panicked and scrambled backward.

"Hmph!"

Ye Tianci let out a cold snort and looked up at a plaque hanging more than five meters high.

"Green Dragon Club"!

The four golden characters were dazzling.

Ye Tianci moved instantly, his foot kicking off the wall as he launched himself into the air like a wild cat!

He grabbed the plaque with one hand, ripped it down, and landed gracefully.

Then, Ye Tianci held the Green Dragon Club plaque across his chest and exerted force with both hands.

"Crack!"

The golden plaque snapped in two!

"The kid is insane!"

"He dared to destroy our sign! Kill him!"

"Arrogant! Everyone, attack! Finish him off!"

The guards roared like a pack of starving wolves and lunged at Ye Tianci.

"Bang!"

Ye Tianci kicked out, and the guard in the lead was sent flying over ten meters back, slamming into a wall and vomiting blood on the spot!

"Ah!"

A guard on the left swung his baton, but Ye Tianci caught his wrist, twisted it, and the guard’s arm snapped, eliciting an inhuman scream!

That wasn't the end of it. Ye Tianci punched the man in the ribs; the ribs collapsed inward, and the man flew away, crashing into a tea table several meters away.

Debris flew everywhere!

The man was instantly knocked unconscious with severe injuries!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

After those two were sent flying, the other guards reached Ye Tianci.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ye Tianci charged into the crowd of guards like a tiger descending from the mountains.

Cries of agony rang out repeatedly as the Green Dragon Club’s guards fell one after another!

None of them could withstand a single blow from Ye Tianci!

In just a few breaths, the thirty-plus guards in the lobby were almost all lying on the floor!

Only three or five remained, staring at Ye Tianci in terror.

Ye Tianci’s eyes were cold as he walked slowly up the stairs; the few remaining guards scrambled and crawled backward in sync with his pace.

At the second-floor stairwell.

A dozen more guards arrived as reinforcements.

"Attack!"

Someone shouted, and the guards swarmed forward again.

Unsurprisingly, those dozen also fell, and Ye Tianci continued his ascent.

Third floor!

Fourth floor!

Fifth floor!

Ye Tianci fought his way up until he stood before a rosewood door.

"Creak—"

The rosewood door opened slowly, revealing a spacious and bright hall.

It was opulent and golden!

A long red carpet stretched from the entrance to the very end!

On both sides of the carpet stood twenty burly men in black, all of them broad-shouldered and fierce-eyed.

Zhao Qinglong, dressed in his Tang suit, rose from his seat and clapped slowly, his gaze fixed on the intruder. "I didn't expect you to actually have some ability!"

Ye Tianci stepped into the room.

The two leading bodyguards in black swung their fists at him simultaneously. "Where did this trash come from? Get out!"
