Xiao Lingfeng tightened the sword in his hand, his expression no longer gentle, but cold and stern. He said, "I've heard that Master Hengzhi is a genius. Not only is he extraordinary, but his cultivation is also quite impressive. It's a rare opportunity to meet him. I'd like to learn some of Master Hengzhi's techniques!"
Sheng Shijing looked indifferent, not even looking at the other person: "Not interested."
After saying this, he walked past him and walked back.
Xiao Lingfeng's eyes darkened, and he held the sword horizontally in his hand, blocking his way. "According to the rules of the ancient martial arts world, if a low-ranked ancient martial artist challenges a high-ranking one, the challenged one must accept the challenge."
"Young Master Hengzhi doesn't accept my challenge now. Does that mean you want to violate the rules of the ancient martial arts world, or do you admit that your ancient martial arts level is lower than mine and you admit defeat before the fight?" Xiao Lingfeng said, looking at Sheng Shijing with a provocative look.
Sheng Shijing suddenly turned his eyes to the side, his dark pupils were bottomless, as if they could sweep people's souls in.
Xiao Lingfeng felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
Sheng Shijing had already turned sideways, unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt slowly, and said, "First of all, I'm not from the ancient martial arts world. Your so-called rules are useless to me."
He rolled up his sleeves twice, revealing a thin, fair forearm, and continued, "Secondly, have you memorized all the rules, Young Master Xiao?"
Rolling up the other sleeve, Sheng Shijing raised his eyelids, a casual yet wicked smile curved his lips, and said, "Finally, I'm not in a good mood today."
"Young Master Xiao arrived at the perfect time."
As the last word fell, Sheng Shijing raised his hand, grabbed the long sword in front of him, and with a flip of his wrist, he snatched the long sword from Xiao Lingfeng's hand and threw it aside casually.
Sheng Shijing stepped forward.
His movements were not fast, one could even say they were slow and methodical. Xiao Lingfeng saw it clearly, but for some reason, he didn't have time to react.
A punch accompanied by a sharp sound of wind enlarged in his sight, and Xiao Lingfeng suddenly came back to his senses until it was close to his face.
Shocked, Xiao Lingfeng subconsciously leaned forward to dodge, but he was still a step too slow.
Sheng Shijing suddenly accelerated and landed a punch heavier than a thousand pounds on Xiao Lingfeng's face, knocking him flying.
Sheng Shijing followed closely.
The dull thud of fists and kicks colliding continuously echoed across the frosty white open space, accompanied by Xiao Lingfeng's painful groan. Before the sound even landed, it was interrupted by the fists and kicks that followed.
Xiao Lingfeng felt as if his whole body was being taken apart and reassembled, and every part of his body was in pain.
Sheng Shijing was really ruthless and beat him to death.
Having lost the initiative and being far inferior to his opponent in strength, Xiao Lingfeng could not even spare the energy to mobilize the ancient martial arts power in his body, let alone fight back, and was completely trapped in a passive situation of being beaten.
This was the scene they saw when the people from the Xiao and Mu families noticed the commotion and rushed over.
Xiao Ganming and the Xiao family's guards immediately rushed forward.
At this moment, they no longer cared about the other party's identity. The six people surrounded Sheng Shijing from six directions and launched a fierce attack on him, finally rescuing Xiao Lingfeng from Sheng Shijing's hands.
Xiao Ganming immediately checked Xiao Lingfeng's injuries. The more he examined, the angrier he became. Finally, he couldn't help but cast a sharp look at Sheng Shijing: "What does Master Hengzhi mean by this?!"
"No matter how poor our Xiao family is, it is still one of the five great families in the ancient martial arts world. Ling Feng is the young master of our Xiao family, but Master Hengzhi attacked us without hesitation, and he did it so ruthlessly. Does he think that our Xiao family has no one left?"
"Do you still think that with Elder Duan backing you up, you can run rampant in the ancient martial arts world and do whatever you want?!"
Sheng Shijing had just been hit by Xiao Ganming's palm, which aggravated the injuries in his body, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.
Hearing this, he looked up, his brows clear and clear: "I don't know if there is anyone in your Xiao family, but it is true that your young master is tired of living and is looking for death."
The irritation between his eyebrows grew stronger: "Either do it, or take your young master and get out."
The extremely arrogant attitude and the extremely arrogant words made Xiao Ganming so angry that his scalp almost exploded.
He couldn't swallow this insult, so he immediately drew the sword from his waist and rushed forward.
Just as the fight was about to break out, a slender figure rushed out from the side, opened his arms and blocked Sheng Shijing's way, saying in panic: "Uncle Xiao, please show mercy!"
Xiao Ganming's forward movement came to an abrupt halt, his long sword barely stopping in front of Mu Yunshang. His face turned ashen, and he turned to look at Mu Changhe standing beside him, shouting angrily, "Mu Changhe! Keep an eye on your youngster!"
Mu Changhe didn't expect that his niece was so tactless that she actually interrupted at this time. He was immediately very angry.
He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mu Yunshang's arm, trying to pull her back. However, he didn't expect that the usually obedient Mu Yunshang would shake his hand off and said without question: "Second Uncle, this matter was caused by me, so let me handle it, don't stop me!"
Mu Changhe: “???”
I’m afraid that the low temperature in the polar regions has frozen his brain?
Is it because of her?
Let her handle it?
How is she going to deal with it?!
At this point, this matter is no longer just a conflict between two juniors, Sheng Shijing and Xiao Lingfeng. It is very likely to escalate into a conflict between the Xiao family and Mr. Duan. Who gave her the courage to intervene?
But Mu Yunshang didn't think so.
In her opinion, Sheng Shijing and Xiao Lingfeng probably haven't even met each other a few times. If there was a conflict, it would have broken out before, and why would they wait until now?
The only explanation is that the conflict between the two was because of her.
Xiao Lingfeng had been pursuing her for a long time, but she had fallen in love with Master Hengzhi at first sight several years ago, so it was naturally impossible for her to accept Xiao Lingfeng's pursuit.
But given the relationship between the two families, and the fact that she and Xiao Lingfeng had known each other since childhood, she couldn't do anything too extreme and had to maintain a friendly appearance.
Perhaps this gave him an illusion, and he continued to chase after her relentlessly.
When she met Master Hengzhi again this time, she couldn't control her heart and all her attention was focused on Sheng Hengzhi.
Xiao Lingfeng was blinded by jealousy and took advantage of Sheng Hengzhi being alone to provoke him, but was beaten up instead.
etc……
Mu Yunshang suddenly thought of something and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Given Master Hengzhi's personality, if he had no feelings for her at all, he would probably not respond no matter how Xiao Lingfeng provoked him. But now he was ruthless towards Xiao Lingfeng. Does that mean...
Thinking of that possibility, Mu Yunshang's cheeks instantly flushed and she couldn't help but feel happy.
He simply stood in front of Sheng Shijing, with a look on his face saying: If you want to touch Master Hengzhi, you have to step over me!
Everyone: “…”
It has to be said that Mu Yunshang has restored the truth to the greatest extent possible - after removing the content she had imagined.
