An Zheng continued, "In the entire world, there are only a handful of Sky Realm cultivators. Fang Zheng was a cultivator of the Sky Realm, and he had already reached the ninth level of the Lower Celestial Stage. In the entire Da Xi Empire, there were only a handful of cultivators stronger than him. Unfortunately … Yet, I was plotted against and ambushed, and I perished outside the Mount Cang Man. "
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Du Shoushou cried out in shock: "The famous Fang Zheng of the Ming Fa Si has fallen?! How do you know? "
An Zheng blanked out for a moment, then laughed: "Of course I made it up. Someone like him, with such good luck, how could he possibly die?"
Du Shoushou punched An Zheng on the shoulder: "You scared me so much. I knew it! If only I could see him one day, I'm afraid I would die of excitement. "
An Zheng raised his head and looked into the distance, "You will see him, I promise."
"Meow ~"
The kitten meowed once in An Zheng's embrace, as if it wanted to believe my master's words again.
Chapter 8 - Good and Bad
The Chen family's people seemed to be very polite as they delivered the three thousand taels of silver to An Zheng's shabby little yard. Du Shoushou looked at the fake money that was filled up, and there was something in his eyes that An Zheng was familiar with, and this thing was what An Zheng hated the most. He walked to Du Shoushou's side and stood there smiling: "You like this? Then I'll give them to you. "
Du Shoushou was stunned: "An Zheng, what did you say?"
An Zheng said: "I already said, if you like it, I'll give it to you."
Du Shoushou stammered, "But all of these are yours."
An Zheng held Du Shoushou's shoulders and said: "Fatty, there is one thing that I hope you remember. The silver is very good, especially good, it can bring us a good life. However, no matter how good the money was, it couldn't compare to the feelings between people. If you like it, you take it all. "You are my friend, not to mention this money, you might not even have been afraid to die for me, but I am the same."
Du Shoushou was obviously excited, his nose twitched a few times as though he was about to cry. "An Zheng, I didn't think that … You are so kind! However, I still can't accept this money. This money was all earned by you.
An Zheng waved his hand, "Fatty, remember this: no matter how good your money is, it's just a tool, a tool that will allow us to lead a better life. As long as they were tools, they could never be more emotional than the feelings between people. However, there is one thing that I have neglected … With our current strength, can we even defend against this silver? If you take it home and give it to your aunt and uncle, it might be a disaster instead of a good thing. "
Du Shoushou's face changed: Then what do we do?
An Zheng said: "Let me think, right now, the matter of me beating up those bastards has already spread throughout Nanshan Street, those little ruffians should be weighing their own weight. But you know that in the Fantasy City, three thousand silver is enough to send many people to their deaths. Go home now, take your aunt and uncle to live in the academy, and don't come out at night no matter what happens. The academy is the territory of the nine great bandits, so for the time being, no one should dare to barge in recklessly. "
Du Shoushou anxiously pulled at An Zheng: "What are you going to do?"
An Zheng laughed and said, "When I was outside the tavern, I had been thinking how I could live a more comfortable life in the future. It's not only be because I have money, I also need to make those evil people afraid of you. Only by scaring the evildoers would there not be so much trouble. "These three thousand taels of silver are a huge pit. I will stand here and wait to jump into it."
"An Zheng, I will accompany you!"
Du Shoushou said firmly.
An Zheng pushed him a little: "Hurry up and go, those who know the news might try to find your family to find the location of the silver, those people have no bottom line, what if they hurt your parents? Hurry back and bring your parents to the school. "
Du Shoushou hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still turned and ran out. As he ran, he turned his head and shouted, "An Zheng, wait for me. Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, let's go together. Hell's Paradise, let's challenge it together! "
An Zheng waved his arm at Du Shoushou, then turned and looked into the house. The door creaked open as someone pushed it open from the inside, and Kou Liu, one of the nine great bandits, slowly walked out. It could be seen that Kou Liu's expression was especially unsightly. An Zheng seemed to have already known that Kou Liu would be here, there wasn't the slightest bit of surprise on his face.
Kou Liu walked out, and looked at the wooden stakes and people standing in the courtyard, and also saw the knife that was thrown on the ground. The wood person was obviously cut out by An Zheng himself, and it was just in the shape of a human, but all of the acupuncture points on the wood person's body had been marked out. Kou Liu had seen it before, the acupuncture points were accurately marked out. And on those vital points, the mark of the blade was very obvious.
"You're not lying."
Kou Liu pointed at the wooden figure: As expected, you have been training yourself, and looking at your blade, it seems to be extremely accurate. Judging from the blade marks, you are now able to accurately hit the enemy's vital points with every attack. That's why I don't understand why you were so weak in the academy. If you display your ferocity towards that wood person, Gao Di and the others would not dare to bully you. "
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "I've already explained it in the academy, so I don't want to explain it in detail again.
Kou Liu walked to the side of the chest that was filled with silver and looked down: "I already know about what happened outside the tavern. Those people were all dogs raised by the Chen family, they were just playing with the young master of the Chen family. The Chen family is very strong, so strong that we have to give them some face. The weight of this face should at least be heavier than yours, even if you have already displayed the potential to pique my interest. "
An Zheng said: "I know Mr. Liu, so you only came here to see if I was lying, and then you will leave."
Kou Liu nodded his head, "That's right, I will leave. I want to nurture you, but I also don't want to offend the Chen family because of you. Do you really think that the Chen family gave you three thousand silver because they think highly of you? "
An Zheng curled his lips: "At least before today, I wasn't worth these three thousand … The Chen Clan gave these three thousand taels to him because they wanted to make a move against the nine great bandits. If the Nine Kongs are protecting me, then the Chen family naturally has a reason to declare war on you. Just say that you instigated the disciples of the academy to injure their men, and the Chen family even gave three thousand taels of silver as compensation in order to ensure the stability and maintenance of their relationship with the nine great bandits. "But the nine great bandits didn't know what was good for them …"
An Zheng stopped his before he could finish his words, "You don't need to continue speaking, your mind has already exceeded my imagination. So if someone comes by later, I won't do anything, but I won't hand you over. Although the nine great bandits were not considered extraordinary figures in the Fantasy City, they were not at all cowardly enough to kneel down and beg for mercy. If you can survive, I will take you in as my disciple. "
With that, Kou Liu turned and left the small courtyard.
"Sixth Mister!"
An Zheng looked at Kou Liu's back and shouted: "Can you do me a favor? This has nothing to do with Du Shoushou.
Kou Liu's footsteps paused for a moment, and then, without even turning his head, he said: "Alright! The school of the nine great bandits was not something that anyone could barge into. Rushing into your home and the academy are two different things. "
The corner of An Zheng's mouth hooked up into a smil
e, as his heart became a lot calmer. If he were to recover even a tenth of his strength, he would not be unable to protect Du Shoushou. The Nine Bandits may not be people who keep their promises, but the more bad the better. If the Chen family really did charge into the academy, then the Nine Bandits would have no choice but to accept the challenge.
"Mr. Liu, there is another question."
An Zheng shouted again, "Why do good people have so many rules and regulations governing them? What order and what rules are these? As for the bad guys, they could ignore any rules and do whatever they wanted. So in this world, should good people be the leaders of good people or bad people? So is there still fairness in this world? "
This time, Kou Liu stopped and stood there silently for a while before he shook his head: "If a good person can do whatever he wants, is it even a good person?"
An Zheng replied: "Then we'll have to see, whether or not I'm still here."
Kou Liu did not speak anymore, and quickly left. It was unknown if it was because An Zheng's words had touched upon some of the weakness in his heart, but it seemed that he was walking in a hurry and was also in a mess. For someone who had already reached an extraordinary level in body techniques, how could he not even walk steadily? Therefore, when An Zheng watched Kou Liu leave, his eyes revealed some complex emotions.
After Kou Liu left, An Zheng kicked over the big chest, causing the big chest that needed to be carried by a few strong men to roll out. An Zheng used his foot to form a circle with a diameter of around two meters around the scattered silver on the ground. Then, he moved a chair and placed it in the middle of the circle.
After he was done, he put the cat into his clothes. This cat seemed like it had been in a panic for a long time, so it had a sense of security around An Zheng. An Zheng patted Mao'er's head and said softly: "There are too many injustices in this world, but rules cannot control bad people. They can only discipline good people. From now on, you will follow me. Let's use our own methods to rebuild order, and start with this Fantasy City. With the evil word at the head, we will first get rid of the evil. Sometimes, if you want to do good deeds, you have to walk in the middle of the undergrowth and cut through the thorns. I'll give you a name, and from now on, I'll call you Little Shan. "
He turned his head to look at the machete on the ground and could not help but shake his head.
I don't have anything that I can take advantage of … It would be fine.
He picked up the wooden sabre with countless holes and inserted it into his belt. Then, he walked to the center of the silver circle and sat down. He then sat down and abruptly stood up with a "Oh no!" before lowering his head to take a look. The position of the knife in his belt wasn't too good. An Zheng reached his hand into his pants to straighten that thing. To his astonishment, he discovered that this little body that looked to be around ten years old was actually very surprising …
"His body is small and skinny, and this thing is pretty fat. This is a serious imbalance in nutrition."
An Zheng muttered to himself, then sat down and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the sky to darken.
When he heard the sound of countless small footsteps approaching, the sun had yet to set. An Zheng could not help but sigh. Greed always made people lose their rationality. The first ones to arrive definitely weren't from the Chen Clan. The people from the Chen Clan wouldn't be so impatient. Judging from the footsteps of these people, they were all mortals who did not know martial arts. Their footsteps were weak, but their voices were heavy.
An Zheng patted the wood knife on his belt, and said that he would drink to his heart's content tonight.
"Oh my god! So much silver!"
A greedy shout came from outside the wattled fencing, followed by someone shouting in a threatening tone, "That little bastard, if you're smarter, then get the hell out of here! This silver belongs to the boss!" If you don't know what's good for you, I'll stab you to death later! "
"Brat, did you hear that? I gave you a chance to escape. Don't think that just because you beat up a few hooligans on the street that you are amazing, Fantasy City is a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, we are not someone you can afford to offend. "If you know what's good for you, then hurry up and f * ck off. If you don't, then don't blame us for being too ruthless later."
"What the f * ck are you saying, go in and get the silver!"
An Zheng raised his eyes to look. Damn, there are at least 60 to 70 people outside. All sorts of greed hung on the faces of these people, and their faces were distorted and hideous. In a place like Fantasy City, this kind of ruthlessness could be seen everywhere.
An Zheng's gaze swept across those people, and then, he asked the same question as he seriously asked Kou Liu: "Do you all know why good people are bound by various morals and rules, and why bad people can do whatever they want? If the bad guys should take charge, then where is the fairness? "
"Who the f * ck cares about those nice people and bad people, I'm here to get the silver!"
"What the f * ck are you talking about? There are no good people in the Fantasy City."
A group of people rushed forward.
In the distance, at the street corner.
Chen Pu stood there and looked at the people who rushed into the small courtyard with broken wattles and a cold smile hung on his lips: "Does this group of lunatics really think they can snatch away our Chen Family's silver? You guys wait and see if the nine great bandits' men make a move. If the nine great Kou clan members come to protect this brat, then go up and say that our people are here to visit that brat An Zheng. In the end, they would be injured and told to give an explanation. If this matter is completed well, out of the remaining territory of the Nanshan Street's Nine Great Bandits, even if we cannot obtain it all in one go, we will not be able to leave much of it for them. "
Just as he finished speaking, his expression changed. "Wait a minute!"
In the distance, in the small courtyard, there was a silver circle about two meters wide, outside the circle, there were already many people lying on the ground. As long as anyone approached the circle, An Zheng's machete would arrive without mercy. In just a moment, the silver had turned red. In just a short moment, the people who fell outside the silver turned into a pile of people. The teenager looked like a beast that had yet to mature, but he was already baring his fangs.
Chapter 9 - Friendship Flowing Around You
An Zheng's blade was very blunt, a wood chopping knife was used to cut meat, it was obviously not easy to cut. Of course, the feeling of flesh might be deeper. The people outside the silver circle were wailing even more miserably than the cats in heat. The blood dyed the silver red and then seeped into the soil. It dyed the soil a grayish-black color, just like the dark side of a person's heart.
The two meter diameter circle was not big, and was the best distance for An Zheng to use his blade with every step he took. He stood in the middle of the circle formed by Silver equipment. No matter which way he attacked, every step he took was very, very perfect. Every blow from the machete caused a person to fall to the ground. As a result, the people who had fallen outside the circle quickly piled up, but none of them were dead yet.
Based on An Zheng's character, killing people was nothing. But there was a line in An Zheng's heart, those who were in the know would definitely die, and those who were in the shadows would be able to keep their lives. This line is the degree of evil … These people who had rushed in were still in a damnable state.
When more than half of the local people had collapsed and the dozens of people had formed a human wall around the silver circle, the people outside finally realized something. They began to flinch and look at each other, their eyes saying, You're not coming? And the look in his eyes when he came back meant, "Why didn't you come back?" It was normal for the Nanshan Street to fight, and it was even more common for the Fantasy City to fight like this.
However, it was a group of able-bodied men that had been knocked down. The one to take
action was a thin teenager around the age of ten, so the scene was especially shocking. It was a kind of bloody, violent, and beautiful scene.
An Zheng wiped away the blood on his face. That warmth allowed him to have a sense of what it felt like to be blessed and avenged. Back then, he had broken through the order with a single slash. One slash after another, he managed to break through the laws of this world.
"Do you guys still have any answers for me? Why would a good person follow the rules while a bad person doesn't?" "Who exactly is the rule set up for?"
That youth covered in blood slightly raised his chin as he seriously asked this question. No one dared to treat him as an idiot anymore.
"Because... Only by breaking the rules can you become a bad person? "
Outside the circle, a muscular man who was trembling in fear answered subconsciously. He did not realize that his legs were trembling.
An Zheng grinned, his bloodied face exposing white teeth, causing people to shudder: "That's interesting …. Thus, at the root of it all, the law did not restrict good people. Rather, it restricted the wicked. For example, this circle is the law. If you touch the law, you must pay the price. "
No one understood his words.
When the first person turned around and ran away, the defeat could no longer be stopped. The rest of them had all run away, and by this time the sun had not fully set. It had only been a few minutes since An Zheng killed the first person and caused them to flee. His precise actions gave birth to fear in the hearts of everyone. Everyone looked to be miserably injured, but none of them had been harmed in the least.
Standing at the intersection, Chen Pu's expression kept changing, because he did not know if he should continue with his plan. The people of the Nine Bandits did not appear. Not to mention those nine cowards, even the thugs under them did not show themselves. Obviously, the Nine Bandits had already sensed the Chen Clan's scheme. Thus, if what he did next was just to kill this youth, was this plan worth it?
