Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333

"Great, I’ll go get him out right now."

Pang Dehai suddenly got excited and rushed to the entrance of the shoe store: "Outsider, my brother Tian is here, hurry up and come out to die."

With that, Brother Tian, with his arm around a beauty, led a few subordinates to stand behind Pang Dehai, blocking the entrance to the shoe store.

"Listen up in there, you dared to bully my brother, you’d better come out and apologize on your knees, or else I’m going to kill someone."

Brother Tian, while taking liberties with the beauty beside him, shouted menacingly.

"Who talks so tough, do you have a license to kill? Daring to murder in broad daylight!"

Tang Ming’s impatient voice rang out as he walked out of the shoe store carrying a bunch of stuff with Su Xiaoxi.

"Kid, you’re really courting death. In the circles of the Imperial City, might makes right."

Pang Dehai sneered coldly at Tang Ming: "Even if we get rid of you, no one would dare stand up for you, besides, it’s all too easy for my brother Tian to finish you off."

"Oh, you look kind of familiar."

Coming to the entrance, Tang Ming looked suspiciously at Brother Tian who was flirting with the beauty.

"Don’t try to cozy up to me, since you’ve offended my brother, today I must break your legs."

Without lifting his head, Brother Tian snorted arrogantly.

Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi with a strange expression.

"Zhao Tianba, you really have quite the presence."

Su Xiaoxi finally realized, snorting with disdain.

Zhao Tianba, surprised, finally lifted his gaze towards Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi.

The so-called Brother Tian that Pang Dehai had brought over turned out to be Zhao Tianba from the Zhao Family, who had participated in the prestigious martial competition with Tang Ming and others.

Zhao Tianba, being the son of one of the nine great families in the Zhao Family, was undeniably one of the top young masters in Imperial City’s social circles, which is why Pang Dehai was so boisterous, due to his good relations with Zhao Tianba.

Pang Dehai usually spent a lot of money on Zhao Tianba, and when issues arose, inviting Zhao Tianba would usually ensure success.

With Zhao Tianba’s influence, tackling outsiders would be nothing; even among locals, few could stand up to Zhao Tianba. But today...

"How could it be you two?"

Seeing Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi, Zhao Tianba’s face changed dramatically, never expecting that Pang Dehai would set him against Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi.

This was nuts, one was the number one lady of Imperial City, Su Family’s cherished gem, and the other an emerging power overwhelming the nine great families, Nine-star Martial Master Tang Ming.

Neither of them was someone he could afford to cross!

"Pang Dehai, is this the backup you called?"

Tang Ming chuckled playfully, glancing at Pang Dehai: "Looks big and burly, but doesn’t seem to have any skills?"

"Insolent! Brother Tian is the eldest son of Imperial City’s Zhao Family and a Seven-star Martial Master—be disrespectful to him, and you will risk your life."

Completely unaware of the situation between Tang Ming and Zhao Tianba, Pang Dehai excitedly introduced Zhao Tianba as soon as Tang Ming showed disrespect.

Su Xiaoxi looked at Pang Dehai, speechless.

"Zhao Tianba, are you really that formidable, enough to take my life?"

Tang Ming rubbed his chin, probing Zhao Tianba.

"Brother Tian, don’t mind him, this kid won’t accept a toast and will only drink forced punishment; you can break his legs already."

Pang Dehai shouted fiercely.

"Oh my, they’re even threatening to break my legs, I’m so scared."

Tang Ming sneered coldly.

"Now that you’re scared, it’s too late, I..."

"Goddammit, shut up."

Zhao Tianba sharply raised his hand, slapping Pang Dehai across his other cheek, interrupting what he was about to say.

Pang Dehai’s left cheek was already swollen from being hit by Tang Ming earlier, and now his right cheek got a slap, perfectly symmetrical with one handprint on each.

Pang Dehai, clutching his face, stared at Zhao Tianba in confusion, not understanding why Zhao Tianba had hit him.

"Are your eyes just there to breathe? You even dared to offend Young Master Tang and Miss Su, if you want to die, leave me out of it!"

Zhao Tianba roared through clenched teeth, almost wanting to kill Pang Dehai himself.

With Tang Ming’s terrifying reputation surging like the sun, none of the nine great families would dare to provoke this killing god, and Tang Ming was now the spokesperson for the tenth family, the Liu Family, with a status higher than even the heads of many families.

Not even Zhao Tianba’s own father, Zhao Jincheng, would dare not bow before Tang Ming, yet Pang Dehai, damn him, got him into trouble instead!

During the great martial competition, Zhao Tianba had already been at a disadvantage to Tang Ming, and at that time, Tang Ming wasn’t even as powerful as he is now.

Now that Tang Ming was a Nine-star Martial Master while Zhao Tianba hadn’t significantly improved his own cultivation.

If an actual fight happened, Tang Ming could finish him off like it was nothing.

With an existence like Tang Ming, Zhao Tianba would normally steer clear of him at all costs, yet today he ended up in a direct confrontation, all thanks to Pang Dehai’s stupidity—he was getting himself killed!

"Miss Su? Young Master Tang?"

Pang Dehai stared in disbelief at Tang Ming: "Which Miss Su and Young Master Tang?"

"How many Young Masters Tang and Miss Su does the Imperial City have?"

Zhao Tianba glared hard at Pang Dehai.

Hearing this, Pang Dehai’s scalp tingled instantly.

Currently, in the Imperial City, only one person could be called Young Master Tang, the ruthless figure who annihilated the Sun Family during the wedding that made them the tenth family’s downfall.

And there was only one Miss Su, the Su Family’s cherished gem, formerly the Nine-star Martial Master Sun Zhuangjia’s bride, now rumored to be Tang Ming’s fiancée.

Whether it was Sun Zhuangjia or Tang Ming, both were Nine-star Martial Masters, showing how powerful this Miss Su’s influence really was.

Despite the great reputations of Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi, someone at Pang Dehai’s level had no access to such high circles, so he only ever heard of their names without seeing their faces.

Seeing Zhao Tianba so afraid of the supposed Young Master Tang and Miss Su, Pang Dehai realized he had made a terrible blunder, and what a colossal mistake it was.

Pang Dehai gulped, looking pitifully at Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi.

"Heh, do you still want to cripple me now?"

Tang Ming chuckled: "I thought the backup you were calling in would be someone tough, turns out to be an acquaintance, doesn’t seem good for you, huh."

"Young Master Tang, don’t misunderstand, actually, I hardly know this guy,"

Zhao Tianba hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

"Really? But he said he invited you to take me out, and it seemed you were about to kill someone, did I mishear?"

Tang Ming picked his ear and looked oddly at Zhao Tianba.
