Chapter 254
…
With a shock of his fist, Zhao Ting felt as if his punch had hit tough cowhide. Not only did it fail to break the defense, but the recoil force made his wrist hurt.
How could this be possible? His brass knuckles were a gift from his master, forged from fine steel. Over the years, he had seen many powerful weapons, but none could compare to his brass knuckles.
But the current situation is... Cheng Ziyun's skin is so tough that even fine steel can't break it???
He couldn't help but exclaim: Are you still human?
Cheng Hui: ...
Fighting is fighting, but personal attacks like this are excessive.
Zhao Ting also knew that what he said was unreasonable. What else could Cheng Ziyun be but a human? A demon?
Wait... the devil?
Zhao Ting's heart moved, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
He actually hoped that Cheng Ziyun was a demon, but unfortunately his appearance did not match the characteristics of a demon at all. Moreover, there were magic arrays everywhere in the Blood Battle City. A demon disguised as a human would have nowhere to hide unless he hid all the time.
Cheng Hui curled his lips. Being distracted during a battle is not a good habit.
He had already gained the upper hand thanks to his body's defense, and now Zhao Ting was distracted, which was just right...
He punched the opponent's cheek. Zhao Ting reflexively reached out to block it, but it turned out to be a feint. Cheng Hui used his other hand to punch him in the stomach.
Cheng Hui only used 50% of his strength this time, but even so, Zhao Ting had to fall down holding his lower abdomen.
He looked at Zhao Ting's ferocious face and tears, and was speechless.
He knew the strength of the punch. He had fought before when he taught those old foxes of the Guangping Army a lesson. This punch might hurt and cause some damage to the internal organs, but it would never make a martial arts master lose his fighting ability.
Cheng Hui suspected that this person was trying to scam people, but he had no evidence.
Luckily… there was a referee in the fighting arena. He came over and first announced Cheng Ziyun as the winner of the fight. Then he checked on Zhao Ting, who was in so much pain that he couldn't get up. Finally, he stared at Zhao Ting with a look on his face that made him want to be carried away.
The fight ended quickly. Cheng Hui defeated Zhao Ting with just one punch, which surprised everyone.
Although they all saw the gap between the two from the odds, but...isn't this too big of a difference?
Especially those who chose Zhao Ting because of their gambler's mentality. When Zhao Ting showed his brass knuckles at the beginning, their faces flushed with excitement. Unfortunately, things developed too quickly, so they are still cheering, but they are at a loss...
However, Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou were high-fiving each other excitedly, and there were a few people with smiles on their faces. They were all soldiers who had bet on their own military leader in time.
Cheng Hui watched Zhao Ting being carried away and curled his lips. This guy is no good, he is too weak to take a beating...
"Let's go...waste of time." Cheng Hui got off the stage and waved to Zheng Kai and the others.
"Okay!" Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou both looked happy.
"Earned a lot?" Cheng Hui glanced at him.
Zheng Kai said with a grin, "It's all thanks to the Military Commander. If it weren't for the Military Commander's wisdom and bravery, we wouldn't have had this opportunity to make money."
Cheng Hui laughed and scolded: "Okay, stop flattering me. This guy is such a loser. He's really wasting my time."
Originally he thought that he couldn't go too far and could just beat him up and be done with it, but who knew that this guy was even worse than he thought... He couldn't even block one of his punches.
As Cheng Hui walked back, he couldn't help but complain to Lin Qingyang in his mind.
"I think with this person's acting skills, it would be a shame if he didn't go into singing."
Lin Qingyang smiled and could only say that Zhao Ting was not completely stupid. Knowing that he could not beat Ah Hui, he still insisted on standing firm and then got beaten up. That was really stupid.
"Qingyang, when can you come over?"
"What? Did you miss me?" Lin Qingyang asked in a deliberately low voice.
Cheng Hui felt itchy inside when he heard this. He was not shy and said confidently: "Yes, I miss you. Counting the time, we haven't seen each other for almost a year. As the saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like three years. We haven't seen each other for over a thousand years. I think you are very normal, right?"
Lin Qingyang's ears warmed. Cheng Hui was rather reserved most of the time, and was unexpectedly conservative in certain matters. But once in a while, he would be so frank like he was now, which made his heart flutter. He wanted to rush over and hug him in his arms and give him a good kiss.
pity……
Lin Qingyang took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said in a gentle voice: "It will be soon. It won't take too long for Ah Hui to see me."
"Okay..." Cheng Hui sighed and ended the call.
Humans are really strange animals. Before, he could only vaguely feel Lin Qingyang's existence and didn't miss him particularly. But since the last time they talked on the phone, it was as if something was suddenly activated, making him think of Qingyang from time to time, and his mood unconsciously became depressed.
Cheng Hui touched his chin and asked, "Is this what it means to be a monk for a lifetime, but to be a bachelor for half a lifetime, is like this?"
"Pfft! What bachelor monk? What nonsense am I talking about? This is clearly 'Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but mounds.'"
Cheng Hui thought about it and felt that this metaphor was very appropriate.
Cheng Hui felt relieved after ending the call, but Lin Qingyang was upset by his call and couldn't wait to see him.
At this moment, the person who delayed him suddenly became hateful.
He looked up at the tied-up man in front of him. He was chattering on and on about how he had no choice but to become a bandit.
Lin Qingyang sneered. Forced to do so?
Even if people who are truly forced to do so become bandits, most of them will have their own bottom line. How can a guy who likes to eat people's hearts tell him that he is forced to do so?
It's ridiculous!
Lin Qingyang raised his chin slightly, and swept his sharp eyes over the people around him.
These people were his subordinates who followed him after being persuaded by him (physically). They had no loyalty at all, but as long as he was alive, these people would not dare to make any move.
Anyway, he didn't want to develop any power, he just wanted to find a group of cannon fodder that could be used, so it didn't matter whether they were loyal or not, as long as they could fight.
But... had his recent actions given them some misconception? He wanted capable fighters, not scumbags. Even demon cultivators looked down on those who favored cannibalism. Who gave them the confidence to bring such a person before him?
His face darkened. "Drag him away. Doesn't he like to eat human hearts? Then dig out his heart and feed it to him. Let him taste whether his own heart and liver are just as delicious!"
"Also, dig out the heart of his precious son, and his wife too. The family should be complete."
Everyone's heart suddenly trembled, and some people even felt their calves trembling.
They secretly groaned in their hearts, not knowing where this evil star came from. He had a face as beautiful as a peach, but his mind was extremely vicious.
Not only did he let this man eat his own heart, but he even dug out his only son and fed him to him... This is simply murder!
Lin Qingyang knew what they were thinking without even looking, but he didn't care at all.
Anyway, these people dare not resist. Instead of making them feel weak and vulnerable and constantly testing them, it is better to scare them directly, which can save a lot of trouble.
As for that man's son...haha, he was so cruel at such a young age that he didn't care about meat or vegetables. No matter whether the people he captured were men or women, as long as they were good-looking, they would be tormented by him for a few days.
This kid learned the secret method of collecting essence from somewhere, probably it was left by some demon cultivator. Relying on that secret method, although he is not very old, his kung fu is better than his father's. Men and women who are collected by him will not live for a few days, so they are just right for his father to dig out his hearts and eat. He is simply exploiting people to the extreme!
The bandit's wife was not much worse than the two of them, and Lin Qingyang was too lazy to talk about all the bad things about her.
Anyway, this family has done so many bad things that letting them die by having their hearts dug out would be considered a bargain for them.
"No! You can't do this!" The bandit showed a look of horror on his face.
Lin Qingyang looked at him calmly: "Why not? When you did those things, didn't you think about karma and reincarnation?"
A fierce light flashed in the bandit's eyes, he jumped up and pounced towards Lin Qingyang.
As he pounced forward, his body suddenly expanded, as if he wanted to die together with Lin Qingyang.
The power of a kung fu master's self-explosion is absolutely earth-shattering. If Lin Qingyang is hit, even if he is a cultivator, he will have to pay a heavy price.
But at this moment, his subordinates couldn't react at all and could only watch... watch... huh?
Lin Qingyang didn't even raise his eyelids. With a wave of his hand, the bandit who was about to self-destruct was slapped away.
It was not until he flew out of the hall that a loud explosion was heard. The hall kept shaking and seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but it finally held on.
"Master! Are you okay!?"
"Thank goodness, my lord, you are okay."
A group of people tried to come forward to ask about Lin Qingyang's well-being, but under Lin Qingyang's cold gaze, they retreated one by one.
“There won’t be a next time!”
Lin Qingyang said lightly, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the distance like a wisp of smoke.
Just when everyone was wondering what he meant by this, several people standing in the upper left and right positions suddenly screamed together and fell to the ground, rolling around.
They screamed miserably and covered their chests with their hands.
Several people who were familiar with them looked at each other, and when they came to their senses, they immediately rushed forward and tore off their shirts.
I saw a huge "centipede" coiled on their chests. The centipede was hidden under the skin and kept beating like a heart. Every time it beat, these people let out a scream.
"What the hell is this!" someone exclaimed.
Another person looked at the terrifying centipede and asked with lingering fear, "Could it be a poisonous insect?"
"Who has ever seen such a Gu insect?"
"If it's not a Gu insect, what is it?"
"How should I know? It doesn't look like a Gu at all."
The crowd couldn't come to a conclusion, but everyone knew that if these people had this thing, then they might not have it too.
We are all in this business, and there are only a few ways to control our subordinates and make them behave obediently.
At first, they were puzzled as to why this man did not attack them again after recruiting them, and some people even secretly colluded to work together to kill him.
Now it seems that it is not that they are kind-hearted, but it is clear that they have left behind some unique methods at some point in time.
A bandit who had been roaming the wilderness for years sighed, "I've completely given up."
The others looked at each other, and it was hard to tell what they were thinking. But at least on the surface, they temporarily put aside their thoughts of rebellion.
As for why those people lying on the ground were tortured like this, many people knew the answer.
Who told them not to stop it just now...
This master is a person who does not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
