Even though they were injured, their mastery of martial arts was still intact. Without being able to fully unleash their inner strength, the two monsters of Tongtian were not afraid of Jing Zhe when they joined forces.
But they're afraid of hand grenades!
So when Jing Zhe pulled out a grenade, the two were shocked and wanted to shout: "Young man, you have no martial ethics!"
"Do you... dare to fight us fair and square?"
"dare."
"Then don't use hidden weapons, let's fight fair and square!"
"Are you dreaming? I have hidden weapons, why wouldn't I use them?"
"..."
This young man has indeed lost his martial ethics, and the two old comrades are helpless about it.
Jing Zhe looked at the two bewildered people as if they were idiots, just like he had a gun but someone was asking him to fight bare-handed. He could only politely reply: "Idiots."
Next, the tinderbox was brought out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two monsters flew backwards.
How could Jing Zhe let them get away with this?
He leaped into the air and chased after them. Because he was much faster, he kept a distance of about four or five meters from them.
At that moment, he lit the grenade in his hand, timed it perfectly, and prepared to throw it at them.
The two strange creatures turned around and were immediately shocked.
With a heavy heart, he suddenly struck out in mid-air, delivering a palm strike to the monster's chest. Caught off guard, the monster staggered and fell from the sky.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two monsters flew forward.
Jing Zhe sneered and threw the first grenade at the giant monster, followed by a second one…
"Boom, boom!"
With two consecutive explosions, the powerful monster, now without a Grandmaster level and severely injured, was unable to create a defensive barrier. So, as soon as the grenade went off, he was instantly mangled and killed.
Jing Zhe didn't stop and continued to chase after them.
Before long, Erguai reappeared in Jing Zhe's field of vision.
Knowing he couldn't escape, and with his wounds aggravated by running for so long, Erguai immediately stopped, panting heavily.
"Big...Big brother...let's talk this out!"
Jing Zhe was already disgusted by Erguai's despicable behavior.
He calls him "elder brother," but he's probably plotting revenge after he recovers. He's even capable of harming his own brother. It's hard to trust this kind of person; he deserves to die.
Without even answering a question, he pulled out two hand grenades.
The second monster was almost paralyzed with fear, trembling as he said, "Big brother... please, please don't! If you can let me go, I'll give you all the good stuff I have!"
"Oh? What good stuff could you possibly have on you?"
Seeing that Jing Zhe was relenting, the two monsters were overjoyed and quickly said, "I have all the techniques of Tongtianque on me, especially the last few pages of the manual, which even Qingyang didn't have, so he could never become a grandmaster! If you can let me go, I can give you the manual! With your current level at such a young age, if you also learn the martial arts manual of Tongtianque, your future will be limitless!"
"..."
I have to say, this guy is really ruthless!
The fact that Tongtianque has such a patriarch is incredibly unlucky. Other patriarchs hope their disciples will improve, but he just hid all the martial arts manuals...
"Oh, take it out and let me see."
The two monsters reached into their robes, but were very wary: "Big brother, if I give you the martial arts manual, can you guarantee you won't kill me?"
"Then I need to confirm whether it's real or fake. If your secret manual is fake, do you think I wouldn't kill you? If I'm satisfied, then I can agree to your request!"
"..."
The two oddballs remained silent, looking at Jing Zhe with apparent doubt about his character. Jing Zhe immediately flew into a rage: "I'm a man of my word, I do what I say! If you don't believe me, come on, I'll take your life right now!"
"Don't…"
The second brother immediately laughed and said, "I believe you, I believe you, brother!"
As he spoke, he tossed the martial arts manual over.
Jing Zhe took it and glanced at it. He couldn't see the specific details, but he vaguely felt that it was not bad. So he stuffed it into his clothes and took out the tinderbox.
"???"
The two were stunned, immediately experiencing the treacherous nature of the martial world. What happened to the promise of "keeping one's word and doing what one says"? They turned on each other on the spot?
"Hehe, I don't understand this martial arts manual. I'll have to study it carefully when I get back. But you don't really think you can get rid of me with a lousy manual, do you?"
Jing Zhe sneered: "Even if I don't have this secret manual, I can still make rapid progress by just practicing our Heaven and Earth Sect's techniques. So your secret manual is too useless to me, it's dispensable. Why should I spare your life because of this?"
"..."
Why didn't you say so before?
The second brother was on the verge of tears. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you don't need the martial arts manual, but do you need the poison?"
"poison?"
Jing Zhe was taken aback. "Why would a gentleman like me need poison? Besides, isn't poison everywhere? My master is skilled in alchemy; what use would I have for your poison?"
"This poison is no ordinary poison!"
The Second Stranger said solemnly, "This poison is called Half-Moon Powder. It was developed by me and the Prince of Jin. Even though your master, the Old Medicine Boy, is skilled in alchemy, he couldn't make an antidote! He said he wanted to make a medicine that could cure all poisons, but he just wanted to find an antidote for Half-Moon Powder!"
Upon hearing "Half-Moon Powder," Jing Zhe was overjoyed. If he could obtain it, Qiu Qianqian would no longer have to obey the Prince of Jin!
But he pretended to be nonchalant, "Oh? Really? I've never heard of any Half-Moon Powder. Is it really that magical? You're not lying to me, are you?"
"If I dare to lie, Brother Ren, may I be torn to pieces!"
"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be lying! Why don't you give me the Half-Moon Powder and the antidote together? If it's true, then I'll let you go today!"
The two monsters were delighted and reached into their pockets again. After rummaging around for a while, they pulled out two small medicine bottles and threw them over.
"The larger ones are poison, and the smaller ones are antidotes."
Jing Zhe examined it for a while, then said with difficulty, "I don't know anything about this either. Why don't you try one?"
"..."
Seeing the two monsters' frightened expressions, Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Look how scared you are. It seems this Half-Moon Powder is real. Then I'll accept it!"
He happily stuffed the antidote into his pocket. When he went to find Qiu Qianqian again, he didn't need to worry about explaining anything. As long as he took out the antidote, it would be more effective than any excuse.
"Big brother, then I..."
Jing Zhe didn't answer. After putting away the Half-Moon Powder, he also put away the grenade. The two monsters were overjoyed to see this.
It seems that although he is a scoundrel, he is a man of his word!
After collecting the items, Jing Zhe turned and left without saying a word. Watching his retreating figure, Erguai felt a shadow of unease: I'm afraid you'll have the life to take them, but not the life to use them!
