I really don't know what idiots the empress dowager's people are.
An Zheng slowly let out a breath of relief before asking, "Why did you use the word 'villain'? "Has anyone in your family suffered because of me these past few years?"
"Shut up!"
That person said angrily: "His mouth is not clean. He is indeed a country bumpkin. This is the Fanggu, the capital of the great swallow, originally should not be a place a poor brat like you would come to. When people like you come in, not only did you occupy a spot that should have belonged to the young people of Fanggu, but you also made the entire Fanggu look like a mess. You poor brats should just stay in the countryside to farm. Why would you barge into the Fanggu for no reason at all? "
An Zheng did not say a word, and only smiled as he looked at the man's face. That person was baffled and became even more furious, "You destroyed a whole dojo, don't you feel guilty?! If I were you, I would have already left the Fanggu. For a person like you, eating Fanggu's food and drinking Fanggu's water is a waste. If the people from your Martial Arts Academy don't teach you a lesson, I'll teach you a lesson in their stead! "
An Zheng asked: "Did someone teach you this, or are you thinking about it yourself?"
The person's expression clearly fluctuated a bit: "I just don't like you, and want to teach you a lesson on behalf of all the people from the Fanggu!"
An Zheng sized up the clothes worn by the Great Cauldron Academy on that person, and after that, he could not help but sigh. "You can only blame the pitiful people, for those so-called upper class circles in the Great Cauldron Academy, you probably won't be able to squeeze in even if you wanted to. You're the little follower of those people, so when they say something, you come out and bite like a dog with shit. Before your master released you, did he tell you that you might be in trouble this time? "
The person wanted to say something, but a slightly shorter person beside him said, "What are you blabbering about? Defeat him immediately."
The man then stepped forward and casually cupped his fists and gestured: "Great Cauldron Academy Zhang Dingbang challenges you! You should know that a competition between cultivators is a very normal thing. Moreover, if you do not accept the challenge, it represents you admitting defeat. "So what if I lost? Kneel in front of me and kowtow three times …"
Before he finished speaking, An Zheng added, "May you sincerely wish you a good journey?"
"Madman!"
Zhang Dingbang took off his long sleeves and passed it to the people beside him: "Aren't you very conceited? Come, let me experience your dog shit Heavenly Awakening Sect Sect Leader's abilities. A shameless countryside brat who doesn't seem to have seen the world yet still wants to start a sect, you know, he doesn't even know that the entire Fanggu is laughing at you. No matter if it is the Great Cauldron Academy, how could the other sects and academies not know that you are such an arrogant person?
An Zheng raised his hand and pointed at the people in front of him: "What, you fought against me alone?"
Zhang Dingbang said, "I alone can cripple you."
An Zheng laughed: "You scared me to death, I just calculated how much money I brought with me when I went out. If he could injure one doctor's fee, then it would be enough; if he could injure more than ten people, then it wouldn't be enough. People from prestigious families, they are all quite expensive. "
At this time, he took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and counted them seriously, "One, two, three …" Fourteen large coins, hmm … "Too much."
He picked up 10 of the newer copper coins and kept them, then placed 4 on the ground. "If you get injured by me in a while, come and get the medical fees."
Zhang Dingbang roared in anger, "I'll cripple you!"
This person's speed was extremely fast, after shouting, his fist had already arrived in front of An Zheng. An Zheng took a few wrong steps to get out of the way, his body moving to the side to a distance of half a step. Zhang Dingbang himself accelerated forward, and smashed his fist against the wall of a shop by the side of the road.
Peng!
A hole was instantly pierced through the wall, Zhang Dingbang pulled his arm out from the wall and turned to look at An Zheng: "You don't dare retaliate?"
An Zheng said indifferently: "As long as you're happy."
Zhang Dingbang raised his hand and shot the thirty-six steel beads at An Zheng with the force of a shooting star. An Zheng stomped his feet on the ground and shattered a piece of tile, sending quite a few pieces of rubble flying. An Zheng flicked his sleeves and a stone shard flew out as well. Shards and steel balls collided in midair, creating a series of crackling sounds. After that, the shops in the surrounding area were struck with bad luck, and quite a few holes had been punched out of the windows.
A metal bead hit the pillar with a bang and deeply embedded itself in it.
An Zheng sidestepped a few pillars, and Zhang Dingbang's fist arrived.
An Zheng punched out, heavily colliding with Zhang Dingbang's fist.
Both their clothes were blown up by the wind at the same time, and the windows on both sides of the street were torn.
After receiving the punch, An Zheng had a rough understanding of Zhang Dingbang's cultivation.
It was a grade seven spirit weapon, a realm higher than his own … An Zheng had Heaven Defying Seal, but An Zheng's physique … This really made everyone speechless.
Both of their bodies slid backwards at the same time, Zhang Dingbang's gaze at An Zheng had already stopped looking at him with contempt.
"You really do have some skill."
He pushed his hands forward at the same time, and at least a hundred steel balls flew out at the same time.
An Zheng bent over and grabbed a large chunk of limestone from the ground, putting it in front of him as a shield.
Chapter 97 - Drain Knife
In fact, from the moment An Zheng and Zhang Dingbang started fighting, this news had spread out like the wind.
Zhang Dingbang obviously knew that the longer he waited, the worse it would be. The order he received was to get rid of An Zheng, and until now, he did not have any advantages, which made him more and more frustrated. With his two hands, he pushed out more than a hundred metal beads, while An Zheng lifted up a piece of limestone to block in front of him.
When he reached the seventh grade, his body was already outstanding, possessing the strength to split stones. Zhang Dingbang saw An Zheng hiding behind the green slate, he quickly rushed over and punched the green slate.
This bluestone slab was already riddled with holes and holes from the impact of the iron balls. Under the force of Zhang Dingbang's punch, it was broken into pieces. His fist smashed through the shattered stone floor. The strength of this punch could be imagined.
However, there was nothing behind the stone slab.
An Zheng disappeared.
"Too slow."
An Zheng's voice came from behind Zhang Dingbang. He reached out and grabbed the collar of Zhang Dingbang's clothes, then directly threw him down towards the ground. Zhang Dingbang's back hit the ground heavily, and the stone floor cracked like a spider web.
Zhang Dingbang groaned, his hand came out from his sleeves and a dagger flashed with a cold light as it stabbed towards An Zheng's lower abdomen. An Zheng kicked the dagger away, causing Zhang Dingbang to take the opportunity to slip backwards and stand up again.
An Zheng threw a punch towards Zhang Dingbang's chest, and Zhang Dingzhou used his right fist to clash with An Zheng's fist once again. The two of them were too close to each other at this moment. After throwing out one punch, they did not stop and took turns attacking with their left and right fists. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The two of them were hit. However, in the short span of a dozen seconds, no one knew how many punches the two of them threw.
It seemed that both of them were pale in the face. Zhang Dingbang was the first one to step back as he panted heavily.
"Is it going to die soon?"
He looked at An Zheng and laughed coldly: "You country bumpkin, to have your cultivation and strength is already quite impressive. But do you know what the difference between us is? not just in terms of cultivation, but also in terms of foundation. "
He took out a pill from his waist pocket and shook it: "This is an Origin Replenishing Pill, it is an authentic red rank medicine pill. Eating one can recover 10% of the Cultivation Power's energy, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it. "I don't think I'll ever see someone like you in my entire life …"
Before he could even finish his words, An Zheng had already grabbed a handful of Origin Replenishing Pills and stuffed them into his mouth, munching on them with kacha kacha sounds.
Zhang Dingbang's face turned green.
An Zheng looked at Zhang Dingbang who was just standing there in a daze, he walked over to a stall and found a wine jug, he gulped down a mouthful of wine and poured all the Origin Replenishing Pills in his mouth.
"What did you just say?"
he asked.
Zhang Dingbang looked at An Zheng, then lowered his head to look at the Energy Replenishing Pill in his hand, his face twisted as though he had just been sullied by someone. An unprecedented feeling of defeat and humiliation made the fire in his heart burn hotter and hotter. Of course, his face also burned hotter and hotter. After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed the Origin Replenishing Pill into his mouth and then began to recuperate with luck.
"What an idiot."
The instant that Zhang Dingbang put the Origin Replenishing Pill into his mouth, An Zheng rushed over, and just as Zhang Dingbang was about to go easy, he saw An Zheng's fist already reaching in front of his face. He fiercely lowered his head to dodge it, and then smashed his knee towards An Zheng's lower abdomen.
An Zheng pressed his hand down, pushing Zhang Dingbang's knee back down. Then he turned around, grabbed Zhang's leg and swung him up, slamming him to the ground. Without waiting for Zhang Dingbang to react, An Zheng swung Zhang Dingbang's body and crashed into a pillar of the street store, directly breaking it. Zhang Dingbang cried out in pain, his voice hoarse.
"The thing you're eating can barely be considered red, and it's even true red. You really have no knowledge of it." After eating, you still need to take care of yourself. Do you think fighting is a child's play? Eat a pill and shout "one, two, three wood people". Your opponent will have to wait for you to fart before continuing to fight? Oh … "You think that the pill I eat is as bad as the Origin Replenishing Pill you eat? You think that I can only continue to fight you after I've gone easy on you, don't you?"
An Zheng stepped onto Zhang Dingbang's chest, and directly broke a few of his ribs. Zhang Dingbang groaned and could not even shout out loud.
"I …" I am from the Great Cauldron Academy, how dare you beat me … "How dare you hit me!"
He kept shouting, but An Zheng kept punching Zhang Dingbang's face, and in a few moves, Zhang Dingbang's face had turned into a pig's head.
"You're here to kill me, am I supposed to stand there and wait for you to kill me?"
An Zheng stood up, and looked at Zhang Dingbang who was like a pile of mud: If not for the fact that killing in the streets is a big crime, you would already be dead.
He stood up, and a strong gust of wind blew from behind him. Without thinking, An Zheng rushed forward and casually threw Zhang Dingbang behind him.
With a "pu" sound, a long blade came down and cut Zhang Dingbang into two halves.
The smallest young man who was standing beside Zhang Dingbang and talking earlier was looking at An Zheng with a gloomy expression. It seemed as if killing his own companions didn't have any regret at all to him. Zhang Dingbang's body was cut in half, blood spilling down like a torrent onto the man's body. The clean and shiny clothes he wore made him look more and more bloodthirsty.
Previously, he was standing right beside Zhang Dingbang, the one who urged Zhang Dingbang and An Zheng to take action. Amongst the students of the Great Cauldron Academy, he was also the most inconspicuous.
However, no one had expected him to be so ruthless.
An Zheng's face changed, he had no choice but to re-evaluate this short young man. This man was so vicious, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had killed someone. He didn't even feel any regret after killing his comrades, let alone killing others.
"Great Cauldron Academy Ding Shengxia, I challenge you."
The man raised his fist and cupped it in a salute. When he said those words, his mouth was almost open, making him look somewhat sinister.
"You killed someone."
An Zheng said.
Ding Shengxia laughed: "You obviously killed him."
An Zheng exclaimed: "Looks like today, you all must kill me. Even if you all can't kill me, you all must at least incriminate me and make me die in jail?"
Ding Shengxia pointed in every direction: "Who do you think are the onlookers? Don't worry, your guess is right. They will give Fanggu a unified proof that you killed my comrade, and I only took action to prevent the murderer from escaping. Therefore, if I accidentally kill you, it would not be much of a big deal. "
An Zheng looked around him, then shook his head: "You did pretty well in beating the opponent's mental state, but I don't believe what you said. I don't even believe what you said with your tongue when you were speaking. You are stronger than Zhang Dingbang, and you know how to make your opponent's mood chaotic first. "
Ding Shengxia shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I didn't strike a blow to you, and those who are watching right now aren't our people, but those who entered the Fanggu are all our people."
He suddenly struck out with his saber. The two of them were three meters apart from each other, but a saber Qi that was as sharp as a real steel blade was actually extending from the blade. The saber Qi was a faint white, like a burning flame.
An Zheng dodged to the side, the blade qi landed on the ground and cut a long and straight line into two.
"Let's see how many times you can dodge!"
Ding Shengxia tapped his feet on the ground, and his body spun as he slashed horizontally: "Dance of the Fallen Leaves."
His body was as light as a leaf, as if it was being blown by the wind. His movements were graceful and graceful, and even the best dancer would not look as good as he did. However, this was a murderous dance, every movement containing a chilling murderous intent. Furthermore, the steps of the dance were very casual, completely changing according to the opponent's movements. However, it was as if the dance had been meticulously crafted, and it looked very pleasing to the eyes.
An Zheng seemed to be wrapped up in a tornado, and around him, Ding Shengxia's figure could be seen. He was in the middle of the tornado, and there was no way out from it.
"Good saber."
An Zheng's eyes were still staring at the blade, because the cold blade aura was not because Ding Shengxia's cultivation had reached such a high level, but because the blade was able to extend Ding Shengxia's Cultivation Power. A good magic tool could increase a cultivator's strength by multiple folds.
The Blood Pearl Bracelet on An Zheng's wrist started to heat up, and the Holy Fish's scales were about to appear. On the bead, the three words, 'fish' became clearer and clearer.
However, An Zheng suppressed the fighting intent of the Blood Pearl Bracelet and did not summon the scales out. Since this was the Fanggu, everyone could see An Zheng's every action. was not sure how important the Holy Fish's scales were, or whether they were so magical. But that was a sacred artifact of the Old Hunters, it was Gu Qianye's possession, and An Zheng did not allow anyone to steal it.
That was why he had always been dodging, as if he was a butterfly floating in a storm.
It looked to be extremely dangerous, but An Zheng was able to avoid the killing intent from the blade.
"Dance of the Rain."
After not killing An Zheng for three whole minutes, Ding Shengxia was obviously angry. His movement technique suddenly
changed and became faster. The speed of the blade became faster and faster, like a torrential rain that was as vicious and continuous. He was surrounded by the pale white Qi from the saber and the wounds left by the Qi from the saber on both sides of the store.
An Zheng's body flew upwards, the blade qi beneath his feet extended outwards, drawing a straight line on the street. All the obstacles in this line were all chopped apart by the saber energy.
An Zheng dodged once again, but a thin scar suddenly appeared on the pillar behind him.
"Other than running, what else do you know?"
Ding Shengxia's dancing speed became faster and faster, and his body had already gradually turned into a ball of shadow.
An Zheng held back, he could not reveal his true strength before the Grand Autumn Ceremony. Even when he was fighting with Lu Kuan, An Zheng had not used his full strength.
An Zheng was only delaying because he knew that there were some people who wanted him to die, but there were also some people who didn't want him to die. This was not a fight between him and Ding Shengxia in the first place, but a fight between two forces.
He and Ding Shengxia had been fighting for more than ten minutes, and the surrounding shops had already turned into a mess. Ding Shengxia's expression was already extremely ugly, he turned around and shouted towards the rest of the Great Cauldron Academy: "Let's attack together, we'll kill him first."
As soon as his voice fell, the crowd of onlookers started to move around wildly. Soon after, there seemed to be an invisible air mass exploding between them. A dozen people were sent flying in two directions, falling here and there.
Six military officers from the Thousand Revolution School strode in from outside the crowd. All six of them had their hands on the hilt of their bloodletting knives at their waists.
