Chapter 119: Imparting the Secret
Just then, Chen Qingdi slowly spoke, "Nie Xing, come here."
Hearing Chen Qingdi call his name, Nie Xing hurriedly ran over. Chen Qingdi then whispered a few words in his ear.
Nie Xing smiled and nodded.
Seeing their display, Zhao Chongjian grew impatient.
"What are you two muttering about over there?"
"Are you going to fight or not?"
"If not, then just admit defeat,"
Zhao Chongjian said.
"Who said we’re not fighting?"
"I’m going to beat the hell out of you,"
Nie Xing said with a smile.
Nie Xing suddenly seemed like a completely different person.
To be honest, Zhao Chongjian couldn’t understand why Nie Xing had suddenly become so arrogant.
"Nie Xing, have you lost your mind?"
"Running your mouth in front of me like this."
"I think you’re looking to die,"
Zhao Chongjian said coldly.
"It’s not certain who will live and who will die,"
Nie Xing retorted coldly.
After speaking, Nie Xing suddenly struck. This time, he was much faster than before.
Zhao Chongjian was startled. He hadn’t expected the other man to actually take the initiative and attack him.
"Brat, are you insane?"
"How dare you attack me first."
"Die!"
Zhao Chongjian said coldly.
With that, he thrust a palm strike forward.
BOOM!
Zhao Chongjian was certain his strike had landed on Nie Xing.
But to his surprise, Nie Xing’s figure suddenly vanished before his very eyes.
This left him completely dumbfounded.
’Huh? What’s going on?’
’Where is he?’
Zhao Chongjian was still reeling in confusion.
But just then—BANG!
A fist struck him from behind.
While Zhao Chongjian was confused, Nie Xing suddenly appeared behind him and knocked him to the ground with a single punch.
It turned out that Nie Xing had suddenly changed his Body Technique, circling around behind Zhao Chongjian while staying low to the ground. This Body Technique, and the specific path of movement, was what Chen Qingdi had taught him.
Zhao Chongjian was knocked down and couldn’t get back up immediately.
Nie Xing’s punch had struck one of his major acupoints, severing several of his meridians with the force of the impact.
Even if Zhao Chongjian managed to get back on his feet, he would be unable to exert his full strength. He was no longer a match for Nie Xing.
Seeing this, Zhao Chongjian was utterly furious.
Meanwhile, Luo Yidao, Bao Feng, and Zhang Feng were all rather startled.
Chen Qingdi had only whispered a few words in Nie Xing’s ear, and the man had actually won.
This couldn’t help but strike fear into Luo Yidao’s heart, but he did his best to maintain a calm facade.
"Who’s next?"
At this moment, Gong Liangbu also stepped forward, his gaze falling upon Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng had just recently reached the Guiyuan Realm.
His strength was only slightly below Luo Yidao’s.
Gong Liangbu, on the other hand, had not yet reached the Guiyuan Realm.
Logically speaking, there should have been a massive gap between their abilities.
Zhang Feng had no idea where Gong Liangbu found the courage to be so brazen, stepping out so casually and even wanting to fight him.
"Are you sure about this?"
Zhang Feng shot Gong Liangbu a cold glance.
"Of course I’m sure."
"Let’s go."
With that, Gong Liangbu didn’t hold back. His figure flashed, and he charged directly toward his opponent.
Seeing that Gong Liangbu was actually serious, Zhang Feng wasn’t going to humor him.
He also moved out quickly.
At first, Gong Liangbu could only dodge back and forth, as there was, after all, a considerable gap in strength between him and Zhang Feng.
But Zhang Feng picked up his speed, rushing directly behind Gong Liangbu and sending a palm strike toward him.
Although Gong Liangbu pushed his own speed to the limit and did his best to evade Zhang Feng...
...the gap between their abilities was ultimately too great, and he was soon sent flying by a blow.
Gong Liangbu spat out a mouthful of blood and was preparing to fight again, but Chen Qingdi called him back.
Seeing this, Luo Yidao naturally didn’t want a repeat of the last fight.
"Don’t let that Chen Qingdi talk to him again."
"Zhang Feng, keep attacking,"
Luo Yidao commanded.
Zhang Feng naturally understood the reasoning and charged toward Gong Liangbu again at high speed.
But at that exact moment, Gong Liangbu suddenly threw a side kick, connecting squarely with Zhang Feng’s chin.
CRACK!
Zhang Feng plummeted from the air.
It turned out that back when Nie Xing was fighting Zhao Chongjian, Gong Liangbu had been standing beside Chen Qingdi, and they had already planned out his strategy.
"I can’t believe that actually worked,"
Gong Liangbu said with a wide smile.
"The chin is a person’s most vulnerable point."
"Even for a Guiyuan Realm expert, an unguarded blow like that will take them down,"
Chen Qingdi said with a laugh.
Looking at the smug smile on Chen Qingdi’s face, Luo Yidao was finding it hard to restrain himself.
The two capable brothers he had sent out had been defeated, one after the other, at the hands of Nie Xing and Gong Liangbu.
And he was well aware of Nie Xing and Gong Liangbu’s true strength.
They were far weaker than Zhao Chongjian and Zhang Feng, yet they had won after just a few quiet words of guidance from Chen Qingdi.
This just went to show that Chen Qingdi was an incredibly difficult person to deal with.
At this point, Luo Yidao’s gaze drifted, intentionally or not, toward Bao Feng in the corner. He saw that Bao Feng was still completely calm, showing no signs of panic whatsoever.
Seeing this, Luo Yidao felt his confidence return.
As long as Bao Feng was there to back him up, he had nothing to fear.
"Chen Qingdi, I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel before me and admit your mistake."
"Then, hand over all the assets you and your men possess. Do that, and maybe I’ll let you live."
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for what comes next."
Luo Yidao stared at Chen Qingdi with an icy gaze.
But Chen Qingdi just gave a faint smile and retorted, "How about this? You admit you’re wrong, kneel before Nie Xing and Gong Liangbu, and apologize. Maybe then, I’ll spare you."
Luo Yidao had intended to put Chen Qingdi in his place, but he never expected to have the tables turned on him. He was naturally furious.
"What did you say, you brat?"
"Are you looking to die?"
"I brought Bao Feng with me today."
"If you don’t back down now, you’re just asking for death,"
Luo Yidao said with extreme coldness.
"Asking for death? I don’t think it’s come to that."
"I don’t care if he’s Bao Feng or anyone else. For those who offend me, there’s just one word: death!"
Chen Qingdi declared domineeringly.
"Young man, no matter how arrogant one is, there’s always someone who can cut them down to size."
"You should always leave yourself a way out."
Bao Feng slowly rose to his feet, staring coldly at Chen Qingdi.
"Who’s really the arrogant one here? I’m sure you’re well aware of how this all started, Bao Feng."
"You shouldn’t have come. This isn’t your business to meddle in,"
Chen Qingdi said.
