Chapter 45: Abandoning Zhang Hu (Part 2)

  Both red tickets and collections are about to meet the conditions, dare or not let Xiaolong add more?

  In Zhang Hu's view, the current Zhang Cheng is no longer what he used to be. He can instantly kill Wang Chen and Li Meng, who have the same cultivation as him, and even a fourth-grade warrior is not his opponent.

  But he himself was only a second-rate martial artist, so when facing Zhang Cheng, he felt somewhat stifled, especially with Zhang Cheng's seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression, which made him feel extremely terrified.

  "When did I come become important?" Zhang Cheng said with a sentence, then he put down his arm with a smile and walked towards Zhang Hu.

  "What are you doing?" Zhang Hu saw Zhang Cheng walking towards him and was startled, his body involuntarily backing away.

  Now, he is really afraid that Zhang Cheng will take action and kill him. After all, with his current status, even if he really kills himself, it's likely that no one will speak up for him.

  "What do I want to do?" Zhang Cheng's mouth corners rose, his eyes suddenly widened, and a fierce light shot out from his eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

  "No, you can't kill me, we're family, brothers. My father is your uncle, so you can't do this to me, you can't..." Zhang Hu was intimidated by Zhang Cheng's gaze, he had never seen such a terrifying gaze before.

  "Brother? How ridiculous! When you bullied me in the past, did you ever think that I was your brother? Five years ago when you and Li Meng, Wang Chen almost beat me to death, did you ever think that I was your brother? Haha, now you suddenly remember that I'm your brother, don't you feel it's a bit too late?" Zhang Cheng stepped forward, his expression growing colder with each word.

  At this point, Zhang Hu suddenly recalled the scene where Zhang Cheng killed Wang Chen and Li Meng before. His heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down on the ground, crying and begging: "Zhang Cheng, please don't kill me! I was young and foolish back then, that's why I did such things. Now I've grown up, and I won't do it again, really, I won't! You have to believe me!"

  "Hehe, don't worry, I won't kill you. As you said, we are brothers. Although you don't consider me as a brother, but I must consider you as one!" Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

  "Is it true, Zhang Cheng? No, little brother, is it true? You really won't kill me?" Zhang Hu heard Zhang Cheng's words and burst into laughter, but his smile was as ugly as could be.

  "Of course, I, Zhang Cheng, have always been a man of my word." As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Cheng went straight to Zhang Hu's back, clamped his hands on his arms and with a burst of force, there was a "crack" sound. Both arms broke simultaneously.

  "Ah——" Then came Zhang Hu's miserable cry.

  This isn't over yet, Zhang Cheng kicked him in the back of his heart, directly kicking him flying out, then leaped into the air and stepped on his double feet, again with a "crack" sound, both feet also broke simultaneously.

  After doing all this, Zhang Cheng still didn't let go of Zhang Hu and kicked him over to lie on the ground. With his right hand clenched into a fist, he punched Zhang Hu's dantian.

  This punch used the power of the Earth-Shattering Fist, but only with 20% of his strength, as he was afraid of directly punching through Zhang Hu's belly.

  After one punch landed, Zhang Hu's entire body was like a seesaw, with both ends rising up, then falling back down again. He immediately let out a loud "wa" and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  From then on, Zhang Hu's four limbs were broken by Zhang Cheng, and his dantian was also broken. Even if Dan Dustzi came out to help him, he could only restore his four limbs at most, but it was impossible for him to cultivate again.

  Zhang Long's injury was able to recover previously because his dantian was not broken, only his bones and meridians were severed, so it was easy to treat. If the dantian is broken, it would be different.

  The dantian is the place where the human body stores true energy, it is the hub of the whole body. Once the dantian is broken, the wall of the dantian will quickly shrink and eventually form a tumor. Even with elixirs containing vital energy, it cannot be repaired.

  So Zhang Long was destined to live an ordinary life.

  Of course, Zhang Cheng was being a bit ruthless in doing so, but he didn't regret it because keeping such a person would definitely bring him a lot of trouble in the future, so he had to do this.

  After doing all this, Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and then ignored Zhang Hu, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and left the martial arts arena.

  At this time, those people who were lying on the ground also came to their senses and stared blankly at Zhang Cheng, who was slowly walking away, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

  However, when Zhang Cheng's figure completely disappeared in front of everyone, they only reacted and cast their eyes on Zhang Hu who was not far away from them.

  As soon as they saw Zhang Hu's soft and weak body, the expressions on these people's faces were not sympathy, but delight.

  Because they had long been fed up with Zhang Hu's oppression, but feared his cultivation, so they could only endure in silence. Now that Zhang Hu's limbs were broken and his dantian was shattered, what remained of his former prestige?

  So they all went up and kicked him a few times, then left the martial arts arena. Not even until evening did anyone tell Zhang Wang that his son had been crippled by someone.

  The sky grew darker, but the city of Shao Yang suddenly welcomed a batch of very special guests. This group of guests did not enter through the city gate, but instead climbed over the city wall, and they stepped on long swords rather than the ground.

  A line of over a dozen people, each one covered in dust and dirt. Among them was someone bound by ropes and being carried by others, while another had lost an arm and was also tied up.

  The appearance of this group immediately caught the attention of all the residents who were helping with the relief efforts in Shaoyang, because their arrival was just too grand, and could be heard from far away, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know they had arrived.

  At this moment, they were heading in the direction of Zhang's family in Shaoyang City, which was currently booming.

  After these people arrived at Zhang's house, they all fell down and stood in front of the gate of Zhao's house without going in directly.

  The group was led by a middle-aged man who looked stern and had an air of importance about him, clearly the leader of the group, likely Zhao Yuanshan, the master of Tianfeng Gate.

  "Junior brother, go and report that I, Tian Feng Men, have come to pay respects to Senior Dan Chen Zi." Zhao Yuan Shan said to the middle-aged man beside him.

  "Yes, Master!" The latter responded with a single word, then walked to the front gate and knocked gently a few times, appearing unhurried.

  Before long, the Zhang family's gate opened and Fu Bo, who had opened the door, was startled to see over a dozen people standing outside. Just as he was about to ask them what they wanted, someone in front of him said, "Excuse me, sir, but could you please announce that the master of Tianfeng Gate has come to pay his respects to Senior Danchenzi?"

  "Tian Feng Men!" Fu Bo was taken aback, he knew Tian Feng Men, Zhang Long had learned his skills there before, and now that the master of Tian Feng Men had arrived, it startled him, he hastily responded: "Everyone... please wait a moment, I'll go inform them right away."

  Fu Bo hurried away without closing the door, but Zhao Yuanshan still stood outside and didn't enter, his respectful intention was evident.

  At this time, Dan Chenzi was in the room reviewing Xiang Tian's books given to him by Zhang Cheng. These books were all about alchemy and recorded many of Xiang Tian's experiences with alchemy, which made Dan Chenzi feel like he had gained a treasure.

  Just as he was absorbed in his thoughts, Zhang Cheng walked in and interrupted him, asking: "Master, the master of Tian Feng Gate has arrived and is waiting for you outside. Do you want to go out and see?"

  "Who is the master of Tianfeng Gate? I don't recognize you, go and send him away." Danchenzi thought for a moment and didn't recall knowing this person, then said so.
