Time quickly passed and evening arrived.
At dusk, the setting sun cast its last rays on the bare hillside of the western suburbs cemetery, creating a particularly desolate scene.
By this time, the area around the mountain range was already filled with people. After an afternoon of fermentation, the news of the duel between the two grandmasters had spread.
The martial arts tournament was about to begin, and a large number of martial arts practitioners had gathered in Guannei City to watch this epic battle.
Meanwhile, some sects that wanted to participate in the Wulin Feng Tournament were also observing in secret.
This grand gathering of heroes is sure to be extremely intense, as can be seen from today's duel between Liu Jingwu and Li Chengang.
After all, both of them were favorites to win the championship, especially Liu Jingwu, who defeated Li Qingcang at the martial arts tournament, making him famous and becoming a disciple of the martial arts alliance leader, making him the most popular person around the world.
Therefore, this duel was truly the focus of everyone's attention.
Not far away, an Audi A6 slowly drove up, with two men wearing cloaks sitting inside.
These two men are none other than Zhang Wanghai, the culprit who brought about today's duel, and Zhao Liangyou!
"Today, Liu Jingwu and Li Chengang will surely be one dead and one injured. In that case, the champion of the Martial Arts Tournament will be none other than me!" Zhao Liangyou said with a sinister look.
Zhang Wanghai smiled and nodded, "This time, we also owe a lot to Mr. Zhao. I never expected that Li Chengang's disciple would actually be a martial arts master. If it weren't for your intervention at the crucial moment, my men would have had no chance of killing Liu Haoran!"
Zhao Liangyou glanced at him and snorted, "You think I want to make a move? Aren't you just a bunch of useless people? If I reveal my true colors, I will definitely delay the martial arts tournament and ruin my master's important business!"
Zhang Wanghai immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
Zhao Liangyou shook his head, fiddling with a thread barely visible to the naked eye, and said with a cold smile, "But there's no need to worry. No one will discover my unique hidden weapon. Everyone will think he died from a knife wound! It won't give me away!"
Zhang Wanghai smiled and nodded, then looked towards the arena. "Right now, these two are sworn enemies. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one will surely be injured! Even if Liu Jingwu wins, it will probably be a Pyrrhic victory. This Lin family brat has essentially lost his protector! Killing him now won't be difficult at all!"
Zhao Liangyou shook his head. "You're oversimplifying things. The Lin family brat's strength is far beyond what you think. Chen Yu is a young master from a powerful clan. Do you think he wouldn't have powerful protectors by his side? As far as I know, none of the eight great clans are pushovers; they all have hidden forces within their families! This brat was able to kill Chen Yu, so he probably has more than just Liu Jingwu as a trump card. He must have other powerful figures! If he comes to Liu Jingwu's aid now, this duel might not have the outcome we want!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanghai immediately smiled. "Mr. Zhao, don't worry. I've already considered what you've said, so I just played another card!"
"Oh?" Zhao Liangyou was immediately curious, wondering what kind of cards Zhang Wanghai was talking about.
Zhang Wanghai sneered, "I've already investigated. Lin Yu cares a lot about the youngest daughter of the Lan family. So, I've sent people to capture her. Once we capture her, we can use her to threaten Lin Yu and keep him preoccupied! Do you think he'll still have the energy to support Liu Jingwu?"
Zhao Liangyou was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Patriarch Zhang, you're quite something! You're smarter than I thought. Cooperating with someone like you really saves me a lot of trouble!"
"Don't worry, when Master emerges from seclusion and arrives in the North, I will recommend you for merit, and at that time I will surely rebuild the Zhang family's glory!" Zhao Liangyou assured him.
Zhang Wanghai shook his head, his eyes sharp, and said, "My son is already dead. I have no other hope in this life. I only hope that Mr. Zhao can help me kill that brat from the Lin family and avenge my son!"
Zhao Liangyou nodded. "Don't worry, it will happen soon. Once I become the president of the martial arts association, I will have a hundred followers. Killing a mere brat like him will be a piece of cake!"
Just as Zhang Wanghai and Zhao Liangyou were plotting and sneering.
Meanwhile, Lan Ling, unaware of the impending danger, was having dinner with a man.
The man was none other than Huang Ziming, who had just regained a little strength.
After several days of recuperation, Huang Ziming has been able to resume normal activities, but he is still a little weak.
He specially invited Lan Ling to dinner today to thank her for taking care of him over the past few days.
He had originally intended to invite Lin Yu, but after going around the villa, he found that Lin Yu was not there and knew that he had something to do, so he invited Lan Ling out to sit for a while.
As for Lan Ling, the two have now talked things out, and she still considers Huang Ziming a friend.
Moreover, he knew that Huang Ziming had just experienced betrayal and abandonment, and was now all alone, so he must need comfort and care. Therefore, he agreed to let Huang Ziming have this meal.
The two didn't look for any fancy restaurants, but instead found a street food stall in the city. Huang Ziming liked skewers, so he ordered a lot.
Lan Ling smiled wryly, "You must be starving after sleeping for so many days, you look like a starving ghost reincarnated!"
Huang Ziming chuckled sheepishly, "I like this nickname!"
Lan Ling was slightly taken aback. "What's your name?"
"You rascal!" Huang Ziming said with a wicked grin.
"You!" Lan Ling's pretty face flushed red, and she said irritably, "A serious illness hasn't made you any better, you're still as talkative as ever! Can't you be more composed like Brother Lin!"
Huang Ziming shrugged. "I'm not a young marshal, and I don't command thousands of troops. Why do I need to be so composed?"
"And even if I'm very mature, you still like him, not me!" Huang Ziming said sourly.
Lan Ling's face immediately turned awkward. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alright! You always bring up the things you don't want to talk about! Didn't we agree to be friends for life? What's there to like or dislike? It's the same with Brother Lin. He's married, so what can I do?"
At this point, Lan Ling's pretty face suddenly turned somewhat resentful.
Huang Ziming sighed and shook his head, saying, "Do you really think there can be pure friendship between men and women? Whether you believe it or not, I'm just friends with you because I want to be by your side in a reasonable way. And you, too, don't dare to open your heart. You just want to stay by Brother Lin's side! You know it's impossible, but you keep numbing yourself!"
Lan Ling's face flushed red, and she bit her red lips, saying, "No, I'm not like that! We girls think differently than you boys!"
no the same?
Huang Ziming chuckled and shook his head. This girl was simply deceiving herself!
However, he didn't want to expose him; it's good to be a little oblivious in life.
If you can't have the one you love, then spend your whole life with them!
He also longed to stay by Lan Ling's side and protect her in this way.
Just like when I was unconscious before, the other person took care of me!
