Chapter 58: Zhuang Daojing's Confidence!

  Castle Lord's Mansion

  After Lord Luo Yingjie returned, he went straight to Zhuang Daojing.

  At this time, Zhuang Daoren was hugging two scantily clad women and drinking wine.

  "Get out, get out." Luo Yingjie said coldly.

  Two women slunk away with their tails between their legs.

  "What's wrong with the castle owner?" Zhuang Daojing laughed and said.

  "I've gone to Longshendao." Luo Yingjie said solemnly.

  Zhuang Daojing nodded casually and continued drinking wine without saying a word.

  Luo Yingjie frowned and said: "Your opponent Qin Zheng is not as easy to deal with as you think, you'd better be vigilant, don't capsize in a ditch."

  "The lord of the city shouldn't joke around, does Qin Zheng also have the qualifications to threaten me?" Zhuang Daojing said with a smirk.

  Luo Yingjie recounted the story of his bet with Qin Zheng, and finally said: "I've heard that Panshi Fist is a very powerful martial skill. Since he possesses this skill and has taken it out to make a bet with me, he must have an ace up his sleeve to help him challenge ranks, or maybe even a unique martial pulse."

  Zhuang Daojing said with a scornful tone, "Even if he has an ace up his sleeve, what can he do? The city master has already said that you've checked him out with your eye technique, and he's only at the initial stage of Qi Wu Realm. Even if he does have an ace, could he possibly transcend two levels to kill me? Moreover, I possess a unique martial vein, and I've already fully cultivated my Martial Vein Divine Ability. Let alone if he has an ace, even if his realm is higher than mine by one level, killing him would still be effortless for me."

  "Has your Wu Mai Shen Tong been completely successful?" Luo Ying Jie exclaimed in surprise.

  The same kind of martial arts divine ability also has its strengths and weaknesses, like Zhuang Daojing's martial arts divine ability. If it can't be fully grasped, the power will just be average, but if it can be thoroughly cultivated, then it will increase Zhuang Daojing's combat strength by two or three times.

  "Of course!" Zhuang Dao said with a pleased expression, "So the city master can rest assured, my martial vein is not an ordinary unique martial vein. The strength of my martial vein's divine ability far exceeds your imagination. Qin Zheng will only die if he encounters me."

  Luo Yingjie burst out laughing: "In that case, I can rest assured."

  Dragon Lion Court, Taoist Master's Separate Residence

  In the night, the lights in the other courtyard were shining brightly. This day, the martial arts arena was exceptionally lively because of the matter with Panshi Fist. Many people had come to find Master Zhao Xi Gong, and they didn't leave until nightfall.

  Zhao Xi sat on the chair with some fatigue.

  "Is the host worrying about my affairs?"

  Qin Zheng's voice came from the doorway.

  Zhao Xi suddenly stood up, looking at Qin Zheng with some surprise. He had indeed not noticed the outside just now, but being able to enter the room silently and unnoticed was not something anyone could do.

  "Please come in and take a seat." Zhao Xi said.

  "Uh-huh."

  Qin Zheng sat down right across from Zhao Xi Feng.

  Just now, Qin's silent and stealthy arrival made Zhao Xi look at him with new eyes. He cleared the clutter from his mind and said, "You've come to find me, what's the matter?"

  "Master Tao is probably still having a headache over the bet between me and Luo Yingjie." Qin Zheng said with a smile.

  "I think you're here to help me get out of a headache, right?" Zhao Xi Feng said with a smile.

  Qin Zheng nodded, "I don't know what the sect leader thinks, but I'm not sure how I can defeat Zhuang Daojing."

  Zhao Xi bowed and said: "The same boundary is fine."

  "He has a special pulse, with martial arts divine connection." Qin Zheng said.

  "That's also your win." Zhao Xi said without hesitation, "Actually, it's very simple. You can defeat Qiao Long with a casual strike at the initial stage of Qi Wu Realm, and you can even take out the Panshi Fist to make a bet. Obviously, you have an ace in your hand, and this ace is more powerful than ordinary martial arts divine abilities. As long as the levels are the same, I firmly believe that you can win."

  Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Now look at me, what realm am I in?"

  The previous boundary of blood and gas obstruction has retreated.

  Reveal the true realm.

  Zhao Xi Feng was a master of the Martial Realm, and with one glance, he saw through Qin Zheng's true realm, "High-level Qi Wu Realm!"

  "That's right, I'm also a high-ranking Wu Jing." Qin Zheng said calmly, "And before coming to Mingluo City, I killed a high-ranking Wu Jing master in a fair duel."

  "Hiss!"

  Zhao Xi suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Qin Zheng in shock.

  It's not surprising to jump ranks within a large boundary, but crossing the boundary to kill people is still a fair duel, which is beyond Zhao Xi's imagination.

  "No wonder you chose to make a bet with Luo Yingjie." Zhao Xi Feng slowly calmed down from the shock after a long time.

  "A sure win, why not make a bet? And the host has even staked 10 million on me winning, with a payout of 1 to 50. That's 500 million gold coins! Shouldn't the host be thanking me?" Qin Zheng smiled and said.

  Zhao Xi suddenly remembered that he had also placed a bet.

  If it's a win of 50 or 60 million, it would be just a little surprising, but if it's 500 million, I'm afraid the Zhou family might not even have enough to open their pot.

  "It's what should be, it's what should get." Zhao Xi Feng's face bloomed into a smile.

  "Then I'd like to ask the host for help, please help me go and make a bet with the Zhou family, and get all of the Zhou family's dragon scales over here." Qin Zheng said out his purpose.

  "Uh!"

  Zhao Xi was stunned, "That dragon scale can't be smelted at all, what's the use of coming here."

  Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Keep it secret for now."

  "Alright, I won't ask then." Zhao Xi Feng hesitated and said, "You've already made a bet with Luo Ying Jie, betting on the dragon scales. Since you bought them in the store earlier, it's likely that the Zhou family will find out too. It might not be easy to win the bet again."

  "I believe Master Dao will definitely be able to help me with this." Qin Zheng disbelieved, as Zhao Xi was one of the three overlords of Ling Luo City, and couldn't even accomplish such a simple task.

  Zhao Xi thought for a moment, "Alright, I'll take care of this matter."

  Qin Zheng calculated that even if the Zhou family couldn't come up with 170, they should have at least 30 or 40. After winning the duel and getting 5 million gold coins, he could make a large-scale purchase and somehow gather enough to reach 300, then excavate the mysteries recorded in Longlin.

  He talked with Zhao Xi for a while before leaving.

  Before leaving, both of them tacitly agreed not to reveal Qin Zheng's true strength and were preparing to thoroughly deceive the City Master's Mansion and the Zhou family.

  He returned to the small courtyard, only to see Qiao Long and more than 30 people from the Dragon Lion Taoist temple blocking his gate.

  Qin Zheng furrowed his brow, this Qiao Long really was endless.

  "Qin Zheng, hand over the Pangu Stone Fist scroll!" Qiao Long took a step forward and stretched out his hand.

  "Why." Qin Zheng said calmly.

  "You will die without a doubt, but you'll give the Stone Fist to our sect's enemy. This is making our enemy even stronger, this is an indirect traitor." Qiao Long said coldly.

  Qin Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "You're still going to invent new words."

  Qiao Long said coldly, "Stop wasting my time, hand it over."

  "Right, hand it over!"

  "We can't let such powerful martial arts be given to our enemies."

  "If you're from the Daochang, hand it over."

  A group of people also gathered in accordance.

  Qin Zheng's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and the cold air made everyone who was shouting shut their mouths.

  "The Pinnacle Fist is whose? It's mine!" Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "My things, I'm willing to give to whoever I want, you have no right to point fingers."

  "We are all Taoist priests, and things are even more so." Qiao Long retorted.

  Qin Zheng sneered: "Since that's the case, then please, Jiao Long, contribute everything in your hands."

  Qiao Long said: "Stop making excuses here, hand over the Pangu Fist, or bear the consequences yourself."

  The group of people started arguing again.

  "Hmm..."

  Qin Zheng spat out a mouthful of turbid air, "Some people deserve to be beaten."

  Splash!

  He flashed over with his Wind Chasing Technique and instantly appeared in front of Qiao Long. Before Qiao Long could react, he raised his hand and slapped him, directly sending Qiao Long flying into the air with a miserable cry.

  "You dare to hit someone? Brothers will teach him a lesson."

  "Beat him."

  Qiao Long's several iron buddies all rushed up together.

  "Don't be so arrogant!"

  Qin Zheng launched his Wind Chasing Technique and swiftly passed by these few people like a ghost.

  "Bang Bang Bang Bang"

  A loud slapping sound was heard.

  These five or six people all had swollen left cheeks, spat out bloody teeth, and their bodies flew horizontally onto Qiao Long's body, pressing him down until he cried out in agony.

  Qin Zheng coldly looked at the few people who hadn't made a move, "You want to try too."

  These people were so frightened that they immediately ran away.

  Qin Zheng entered the small courtyard.

  "Qin Zheng, you bully the weak with your strength. Just wait, we'll go find the master to reason it out." Qiao Long shouted loudly as he got up.

  "You don't have to look for the Taoist master anymore."

  Zhao Nan turned out from the corner of the wall.

  "Elder, you must take charge of us!" Qiao Long cried out in sorrow.

  "Hmm, I'm the one in charge." Zhao Nan said coldly, "The sect master's strict order is that from now on, whoever disturbs Qin brothers' quiet meditation will be punished with a year of confinement."

  Qiao Long and others who were crying out in surprise, were frightened and wanted to ask questions, but seeing Zhao Nan's icy face, they didn't dare to ask, and instead glared at Qin Zheng fiercely before walking away dejectedly.

  Zhao Nandao said: "Qin brothers, this matter will not happen again, you can rest assured and cultivate quietly."

  "Thank you."

  Qin Zheng returned home and closed the door.

  The following days were much quieter.

  Qin Zheng continued his usual practice, setting aside one hour each day to ponder ways to conceal the demonic energy, and spent the rest of his time practicing. Yan Tingyu studied Long Lin's dragon scales.

  Three days before the duel, Dao Master Zhao Xi brought good news. He had already negotiated with the Zhou family about the betting and they were willing to put up seventy dragon scales as stakes.

  In this way, Qin Zheng can get 200 dragon scales steadily.

  He then borrowed some gold coins from Zhao Xi and bought the dragon scales in advance, planning to return the money after winning the duel. However, Zhao Xi was so generous that he didn't let him change his mind, and Zhao Xi, who had made a profit of 50 million gold coins, didn't care about the tens of millions of gold coins at all.

  So on the eve of the duel, Zhao Xi had to buy 140 dragon scales for Qin Zheng, so that if Qin Zheng won the duel, he could gather more than 300 dragon scales and find out the subtleties, a done deal.

  Of course, Long Lin's affairs also attracted a lot of attention, which was also within Qin Zheng's expectations.

  Another interesting thing is that Qin Zheng took out the Pangu Fist to make a bet, which caused a big stir in the Longshen Arena. It was naturally fueled by Qiao Long and others, and as a result, many people went to find Zhao Xi every day to ask him to force Qin Zheng to hand over the Pangu Fist.

  To avoid the endless harassment of these people, Zhao Xi, the master of this magnificent Dragon and Lion Taoist temple, simply hid himself away, and even hid in Qin Zheng's small courtyard.

  Qin Zheng said bluntly: "Old Zhao, you can hide here too, but you have to pay for it."

  "Alright, no problem, how much do you want?" Zhao Xi Feng was also considered to be wealthy and generous.

  "I've always been a man who means well and does business fairly, never cheating the young or the old." Qin Zheng's face was full of harmony.

  Zhao Xi said: "Speak, how much, I'll give."

  Qin Zheng raised his index finger, "Not much, just 10 million."

  "You, this is a fair deal, I'll stay for one day. You want 10 million from me? Qin Zheng, I thought you were an honest and virtuous person. Now I see that you're a scoundrel, you should be called Qin Lack of Virtue." Zhao Xi angrily said.

  Qin Zheng is speechless, am I really so unvirtuous?!

  Time flies, the duel day has come.
