h Director Sun was older, he had to serve him respectfully."Old Sun, regardless of how you manage today’s competition, Mr. Elder from the 27th place must win first prize; do you understand" The youth...Chapter 379: Surprise Attack

Note that his father, Wang Pingyuan, was the pillar of their family. If Wang Pingyuan were to pass away, the Wang Family would instantly lose half its strength.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu snorted coldly and ignored him, instead looking at Wang Pingyuan.

If this Wang Pingyuan also refused to take responsibility, he would think even less of the entire Wang Family.

"I..." When Wang Pingyuan saw that Xiao Yu was looking at him, he opened his mouth as if wanting to say something but ended up swallowing it back.

At this moment, Wang Pingyuan's expression was despondent; there wasn't any color on his face. It seemed like he had aged a dozen years in an instant. This aging didn’t stem from age, rather it was the feeling that he lacked any vitality as a whole person.

Wang Pingyuan did not wish to die either, but when he signed the life-and-death agreement back then, he had already sealed his fate—if he lost, this would be his only way out.

Back when he signed the contract, he never imagined that it would come down to him taking this path.

In his opinion, with their family’s foundation, they should have been better than a mediocre doctor who was nothing at all!

Although Li Sujun and Song Hushan couldn’t be ignored, the moment they agreed not to interfere, he saw hope for avenging his grandson. But now In an instant, not only had he failed to avenge his grandson; he would also have to sacrifice himself.

"Father, you can't die! What will happen to our Wang Family then" The middle-aged man's heart tightened as he saw the look on Wang Pingyuan’s face. He said this to him.

"Wang Pingyuan, what's wrong Afraid of death If you’re afraid, just beg!" Xiao Yu said with a mocking expression, looking at Wang Pingyuan.

When he heard Xiao Yu's words, the color on Wang Pingyuan’s face alternated between green and white as he engaged in intense mental struggle.

"Ahhh..." Suddenly, with an ugly look on his face, Wang Pingyuan let out a loud shout to the sky.

As he shouted, the chaos in his mind cleared up. Clear-headed again, memories of all his life experiences flashed through his mind, including his comrades who had sacrificed their precious lives for this land and soldiers counted by the tens or even hundreds of thousands that perished on battlefields.

Upon thinking about it, a trace of shame appeared on his face. Back then, they had shed blood and sweat to safeguard the country, but he managed to survive the war. Now, however, his grandson was oppressing good people, yet instead of doing anything, he was finding ways to cover up for him.

How could he face his deceased old brothers, comrades-in-arms, and subordinates now At the same time, he felt a tinge of shame for being so afraid of death. Back then, when battling through gunfire, he had never shown any cowardice. But now

Was this really him Was this still that Wang Saling who was known as a reckless fighter on the battlefield Had living in times of peace made him corrupt

"No, I am still that Wang Saling, the one personally named 'Wang Pingyuan' by the Commander-in-Chief!" Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

Recalling this, the gloomy expression on his face gradually regained its luster and determination. He no longer appeared weak as before.

"Haha, one should at least be honest. Besides, I'm over eighty now. Even if I don't die today, I can't protect you all for many more years!"

Wang Pingyuan lifted his head and looked at Xiao Yu and Lao Li before turning to his son with a light laugh.

"Good, good! This is the Wang Pingyuan we know! The fearless man who charged forward without hesitation!" Seeing this transformation in Wang Pingyuan and hearing those words, the two old comrades-in-arms exclaimed in unison.

These two men had been friends with Wang Pingyuan for decades. During war times, they were respectively the commanders of the first, second, and third battalions. They were truly comrades who shared life and death together.

They had seen how Wang Pingyuan doted on his grandson but could not say anything as they lived far apart.

However, seeing Wang Pingyuan's earlier behavior filled them with deep disappointment.

Who were these people They were soldiers who had marched through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Their achievements were built upon the bones of their fallen comrades. Back then, when had they ever feared death Often, they would say, "Afraid of death is not being a hero or a man!"

But seeing Wang Pingyuan's cowardice earlier filled them with sorrow; it seemed this was no longer the Wang Pingyuan they knew. If he feared death, then why engage in such life-or-death struggles One must be prepared to die if one chooses to fight.

To people like them who had experienced so much death throughout their lives, death was nothing to fear. They had encountered death countless times and thus could almost say they were familiar with it.

Death meant liberation for such individuals. Now in old age, when sleep eluded them at night, they would think of their fallen comrades and the soldiers buried far from home. At these moments, they wished to die alongside those comrades.

Hence, seeing Wang Pingyuan's earlier behavior made them feel that he was no longer the person they knew. On the battlefield, he had always been at the forefront, never knowing fear, but now...

However, as they saw him regain his former spirit and heard his bold words, they once again glimpsed the fearless Wang Pingyuan of old.

Although Wang Pingyuan seemed ready to die, they were still very happy because in their eyes, death was not scary; what was truly terrifying was the fear of death before it even happened.

"Two old brothers, we've caused you trouble!" After hearing what the two said, Wang Pingyuan did not show any dissatisfaction but instead smiled with a sense of guilt, saluting them in a military gesture and speaking to them.

"Uncle Li…… I……" After finishing his words to them, Wang Pingyuan also saluted Li Suijun and the others, wanting to say something but not being able to find the right words.

"Now this is how a true soldier acts, one who has been on the battlefield!" Seeing Wang Pingyuan's behavior, Li Suijun nodded in approval, returning the salute and speaking as well.

After hearing Li Suijun's words, Wang Pingyuan nodded and walked to the center of the basketball court.

Xiao Yu turned around to look at Wang Pingyuan who had made his way to the middle of the basketball court, without any change in expression on his face.

"Scare…. !" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out behind Xiao Yu, with a strong wind heading towards the back of his head.

"Be careful…."

"Xiao Yu, be careful…"

"Third Brother…"

Upon hearing this shout, Song Shanshan, Zhang Dahai, and Uncle Li all turned to look at Xiao Yu's direction. Seeing a figure flying towards Xiao Yu, they could not help but anxiously call out to him.

Xiao Yu's five senses were extremely sharp, so upon the person reaching behind him, he had already sensed it. But he did not say anything and just wanted to see what that person was going to do.

Therefore, when this person rushed towards Xiao Yu, he was already aware of it but pretended as if he hadn't noticed in order to give the other person a chance for an all-out attack.

This person who attacked Xiao Yu was precisely one of Wang Pingyuan's bodyguards whom he had brought along. He was the practitioner of internal kung fu that never got his turn to fight before.

This man’s strength was not weak, about at the same level as the shape-intention boxing expert, both reaching peak brightness. Therefore, although Xiao Yu appeared indifferent on the surface, he was actually very cautious inside.

Just like that person who knew shape-intention boxing, if Xiao Yu did not catch him off guard and instead tried to win against him in an all-out battle, it would undoubtedly be quite a challenge. After all, not only had Xiao Yu spent less time studying martial arts skills compared to others, but also the majority of his abilities were concentrated on the peculiar art techniques, which made hand-to-hand combat his weaker point.

Xiao Yu had long opened his five senses to their maximum, so every move of the person attacking him was within his grasp.

When this person's fists were just a few centimeters away from Xiao Yu's nape, without even turning back, Xiao Yu slightly turned his head and dodged the punch.

A moment after he dodged it, Xiao Yu lightly flipped his right hand, revealing a golden needle in his palm.

Seeing that his fist did not hit Xiao Yu, this person was momentarily stunned. However, instead of retreating, he swung his arm horizontally with an explosive gust of wind towards Xiao Yu's head.

Xiao Yu didn't dodge the incoming punch; rather, he performed a move from the righteous energy technique, condensing it in his left arm to block the oncoming one.

"Pang…"

Their arms collided instantly with a muffled sound. After this collision, both of them involuntarily stepped back; their arms felt numb at that moment.

"What What's happening" The person who suddenly attacked Xiao Yu revealed an expression of agony and clenched his teeth as he spoke.

It turned out that after stepping back, he planned to continue gathering energy for another attack on Xiao Yu. However, the moment he started drawing in air, a sharp pain from his abdomen traveled through him, accompanied by a pricking sensation inside.

This person, enduring the pain, looked down at his belly. As soon as he saw it, an expression of utmost horror appeared on his face.

It turned out that somewhere along the line, a golden needle was inserted into his Dantian.

Seeing this golden needle, he seemed to have all his strength sucked out of him, sitting dejectedly on the ground.

The Dantian is the foundation for those practicing internal martial arts techniques. If it gets destroyed, years of arduous cultivation vanish and there's no possibility of further training in the future.

Xiao Yu had held back when dealing with both previous people, especially the second one; Xiao Yu didn't attack his Dantian because he knew what losing their Dantian meant to martial artists.

But this person received no leniency from Xiao Yu. He could fight if he wanted, but it should be in an open and fair manner. Furthermore, when attacking sneakily, he went for the back of his head. This showed that he had a killer intent towards him; thus, there was no way Xiao Yu would hold back.

Seeing this person sitting dejectedly on the ground, Xiao Yu's face remained expressionless. Although Xiao Yu knew this person acted under someone else’s orders, what difference did it make Someone who had already discarded their martial artist’s integrity and resorted to sneaking attacks was not worth his sympathy.at, Xiao Yu and Wang Chengzhi felt a sense of relief. The entire boat was open from bow to stern with two tables set up inside. There was also a carved wooden screen dividing the space into two areas...
