Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 69 My body is broken
Zhen Renxin, who has always been arrogant in Feishi City, suddenly feels that he has been very unlucky recently.
First, he was inexplicably snatched away by Tang Zheng in the auction house, and then he was completely cheated in the subsequent auctions.
After finally finding out who was the one who tricked him, he was blocked here by Chi Bao and his men.
Before I could say a few words, another face-slapping monster appeared.
What the hell is going on? Am I still a well-known rich young man in Feishi City?
Zhen Renxin felt very confused, extremely confused, and turned his head away angrily, shouting impatiently: "Who the hell are you?!"
Xi Ye and Tang Zheng, one on the left and one on the right, followed by Xu Qingyan, walked out of Tang Zheng's house leisurely.
Zhen Renxin looked at the three people opposite him, and at a glance, they were tall, handsome, and rich! After comparing himself, he felt ashamed and angry: "Tang Zheng, you are a piece of trash from the bottom-ranked academy, and you finally dare to come out and meet people?"
Before Tang Zheng could speak, Mr. Xi said to him, "I will take over your duties today. Leave this person to me, okay?"
Tang Zheng smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, indicating that he would just watch.
When Zhen Renxin saw that the two men were singing the same tune, they treated him like a fish on the chopping board, and they were giving up the right to slaughter to each other.
How can this be tolerated?
Zhen Renxin couldn't help but yell, "If I don't deal with you two scumbags today, I won't be named Zhen!"
After saying that, he was ready to draw out the long sword at his waist and chop at Xi Ye with the force of thunder. He made up his mind to kill Xi Ye first. As for Tang Zheng, if he didn't capture him and cut off his hands and feet, and skin him alive, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart for the humiliations he had suffered several times!
But when Zhen Renxin's hand just grasped the hilt of the sword, he drew the sword out of the sheath with a "clang", but stopped abruptly halfway.
The long sword that he had practiced martial arts and sword techniques with countless times suddenly seemed to be locked in the scabbard with a huge lock weighing thousands of pounds, and he could not pull it out no matter what.
He looked down at the sword in his hand in great surprise, only to see a folding fan firmly stuck on the hilt of his sword.
Once, twice.
No matter how hard he tried, whether lowering his shoulders or swinging his waist, he could not pull the sword out even a little bit.
Moreover, the part that had been pulled out, even though he was pulling it out with all his might, still slowly fell back into the scabbard until it was completely immersed in the scabbard.
"You can't even draw out the sword. You don't have much time left as Zhen. " Master Xi held a folding fan in his hand, standing in the same place without moving except for his wrist. He looked at Zhen Renxin leisurely and said.
"You?! Go to hell, secret martial arts, planning life and death!" Zhen Renxin was stimulated by Xi Ye's words. He was furious and roared. He threw away his sword and wanted to circulate star power, raise the stars, and directly use secret martial arts to call on the power of the stars to kill the guy in front of him who made him lose face.
Unfortunately, his roar was quite loud, but he soon discovered something that frightened him even more.
No matter how he tried to circulate the star power and create star images, the result was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.
The sword cannot be drawn.
Astrology, cannot be opened.
Zhen Renxin felt that his three views had completely collapsed. He had always been smooth sailing since he was a child, and was regarded by others as a martial arts genius and a seed of a strong man.
In the seventh-grade academy where talented people abound, his ability can be considered upper-middle among his peers.
The strange situation that happened today completely left him at a loss.
"You, you...what did you do to me? Why, why can't my star image rise and my star power function?"
"You, you broke my body?"
Hearing Zhen Renxin's scream, Tang Zheng couldn't help but complain: "Damn, you can actually say such embarrassing lines..."
However, Tang Zheng did not understand that for a warrior from the Xingyao Continent, losing the stars and star power is almost like losing everything.
This sudden occurrence made Zhen Renxin feel endless panic.
Looking at Mr. Xi, who was still casually resting his fan on the hilt of his sword with an indifferent expression in front of him, he could not help but take several steps back. He staggered and fell to the ground, and took a few steps back, trying to get away from this strange guy in front of him.
"Master Zhen!"
"Master Zhen, what's wrong with you?"
The three followers brought by Zhen Renxin were all shocked to see Zhen Renxin in such a miserable state, and they all thought that he was possessed by evil spirits.
What kind of person could scare a three-star intermediate warrior to the point where he couldn't even activate his star power or draw his sword? The three followers felt like they had definitely stepped into bottomless muddy water. A chill surged from the soles of their feet to the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at Zhen Renxin's appearance, Master Xi shook his head in disinterest: "No taste at all, Chi Bao, he's yours."
Chi Bao had already settled Ye Qianhan and had been standing aside, waiting for Xi Ye to give the order. Five warriors, including Chi Bao, exerted their strength at the same time and carried Zhen Renxin and his three followers out like they were carrying chickens.
As for how Chi Bao will deal with Zhen Renxin and the others, just look at their faces that show they are ready to devour anyone and you will know that it will definitely be very obscene and violent.
After dealing with Zhen Renxin, Master Xi turned around and bowed to Tang Zheng: "Today's demolition was a mess. I'm sorry. You didn't snatch the opportunity to beat that guy to relieve my anger from me. Thank you."
"Haha, it's okay, I often get into trouble too." Tang Zheng smiled and changed the subject: "Will you treat me to some barbecue?"
Mr. Xi nodded and followed Tang Zheng back to his lake-view terrace.
This time, Tang Zheng cooked personally again. Two beauties with different styles, Fox Girl and Tianxiang, dressed in maid outfits, were responsible for helping. Xu Qingyan played the piano on the side, and Xi Ye also contributed a few bottles of fine wine. Thus began a high-standard barbecue feast.
"Good wine!" Tang Zheng held the steaming skewers in his left hand and a glass of wine in his right hand. He took a sip and felt a mellow and smooth wine sliding down his throat. Then an explosive star power rose between his chest and abdomen. Tang Zheng quickly held his breath and absorbed the star power between his chest and abdomen into the star veins.
With just this small sip, Tang Zheng felt that it gave him an additional two or three strands of two-star power.
Although he is now at the peak of two stars, the more two-star star power he accumulates in his fate palace, the greater his chances of success when impacting the three-star fate palace. Naturally, the more star power, the better.
I didn't expect that Mr. Xi would just casually take out such precious wine and share it with everyone. He is really generous.
"Tang Zheng, I heard that you got full marks in three subjects in the academy assessment, so you must be a well-educated person. Yesterday you said that my nickname should be Xier. Is there any story behind it?" After drinking a glass of wine and eating three skewers of grilled skewers in a row, Xiye took a long breath to drive away the unpleasant feeling of the failed demolition performance just now, and asked Tang Zheng with a smile.
"This..." Tang Zheng was holding a skewer of barbecue, feeling somewhat helpless. He had no choice but to tell Mr. Xi the long-circulated story of "The White-Haired Girl" after making some brief modifications.
After listening to Xi'er's tragic experience in "The White-Haired Girl", Xiye's expression was slightly gloomy. He sighed and said, "When you are rich, it is easy to be unkind. It is true. Zhen Renxin just now, he has a good name in vain, but he is just unkind and untrustworthy. As the youngest son of the owner of Jubao Pavilion, such a character is a shame for Zijin."
After saying that, Master Xi couldn't help but nibble on two more skewers. Looking at the beautiful woman with the lake view, he suddenly became talkative while drinking skewers and fine wine. "I was born in a very wealthy family. I have no interest in martial arts. I only like to have good tastes. When I travel around the continent, I can't help but like to hang things with good taste on my body. When I meet people with good taste, I can't help but make friends with them."
When Tang Zheng heard this and looked at Xi Ye's rare and elegant objects, he couldn't help but smile. It turned out that this guy was also a legendary pendant addict.
"Look, the folding fan in my hand and the Yaoqin behind me are the two most tasteful objects I like. The folding fan was written by Ji Ziling, the calligraphy saint of Wuyou Island , and the Yaoqin is the last work of Zixuan, a famous zither maker from Yaoshan tribe. I can see that the fan is not as good as your plain folding fan, but as for the zither, you can appreciate it." Mr. Xi took the zither off from behind and handed it to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Qin, I'm an outsider. My friend Xu Qingyan is an expert. You can discuss and exchange ideas. But speaking of tasteful pendants, I once met a man whose pendants I will never forget in my life . I can discuss with you."
Mr. Xi handed the zither to Xu and asked curiously, "Tell me about it?"
Tang Zheng took another sip of wine and then said, "The pendant that left the deepest impression on me was a coffin."
"Coffin? That's interesting. Do you know this man? What's his name and why does he hang a coffin on his body?" Mr. Xi frowned slightly.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, and the ancient classic game called "Jian Wang 3" emerged in his mind: "The man's name is Murong Zhuifeng. The day I met him, the wind was blowing and the dust was flying. He was staggering but still looked heroic. He was carrying a coffin on his back, which was full of swords, and it looked very sharp."
"Later, I met a lot of people and learned a lot of things. Only then did I realize that what he was carrying behind him was a coffin, and in the coffin was his wife who had turned into a monster..."
Tang Zheng drank some wine and told the story of the hero Murong Zhuifeng.
On the terrace, not only Mr. Xi, but even Xu Qingyan listened attentively. The two sisters, Tianxiang and Daji, had tears in their eyes and looked sad after listening.
It was not until Tang Zheng finished his story that the people on the terrace came back to their senses, feeling somewhat lost...
