Chapter 868 Even more complicated
Chapter 868 Even more complicated
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."
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...
