Chapter 1809: A Duel Between Masters?
Yang Ming was able to call out his name and also knew Hou Zhenhan’s name. Feng Sibiao really had to believe him. Although he had his doubts, he didn’t dare to take the risk. If this person is Hou Zhenhan’s master, aren’t I courting death?
Thinking of this, Feng Sibiao thought that it wasn’t appropriate to stay here for a long time. He had experienced Hou Zhenhan’s striking speed, so he wouldn’t give Yang Ming a chance to strike! So, Feng Sibiao pretended to be inadvertent. He turned around and ran immediately. His two legs seemed to be equipped with hot wheels. His speed was beyond imagination; he was a man as fast as the wind, covering a couple of hundred meters just like that.
It could be said that the name, Hou Zhenhan, had become his tightening-crown spell [1] and also the devil within him. He could no longer leave this strange circle. He even often awoke because of nightmares at midnight. Hou Zhenhan’s incredible speed and strength woke him constantly; it had become his nightmare.
When Feng Sibiao heard any of the three characters in ‘Hou Zhenhan’ in his daily life, he would feel uncomfortable and even tremble. Once bitten by a snake, live ten years in fear of a well rope. Feng Sibiao was exactly such a person.
So, the only thing he could do at times like these was run away. The farther the better! In his opinion, even if the person in front of him wasn’t Hou Zhenhan’s master, he would at least have something to do with Hou Zhenhan. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to know of such a secretive matter!
Not many people knew that he had been invited by Fei Bao, Yu Xiangde’s underling, at that time. He disappeared for a long time after his injury and only reappeared in the underworld recently when he had recovered. How does this boy know about such a secretive matter?
Therefore, Feng Sibiao believed that Yang Ming’s claim was true. He ran away swiftly as it was best for him to quit now.
When Yang Ming saw Feng Sibiao’s arrogant look, he thought Feng Sibiao would execute some secret moves. He was stunned when Feng Sibiao suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye with a speed faster than a rocket.
In addition, Zhang Dapao, Yao Sanpao, and Yao Sanpao’s underlings were all stunned at the same time. They all looked at each other in surprise and thought. What is Feng Sibiao trying to do?
“Could this be the duel between masters? The perfect combination of speed and strength?” An underling sighed in surprise. “His speed is really fast! But… where’s his strength?”
“Are you talking nonsense? How could you run so fast without strength?” Another underling said while pretending to have understood it.
“Oh… I see. That’s definitely it. It really is the perfect combination of speed and strength!” The underling who first posed the question said with sudden realization.
“Yeah, it’s very fast and speedy!” Others sighed, “But why doesn’t he attack? Why did he run in the opposite direction?”
“How could we know about it? Masters are always unfathomable, aren’t they? Maybe his move is so great that he needs a certain buffering distance before he can use it. It must be because he’s preparing his move, right?” One of the underlings said pretentiously.
“That makes sense!” The other underlings nodded in agreement after hearing this, “That should be the case. A master is a master after all…”
“But why is he running farther and farther away? This… distance should be enough, right? Why hasn’t he stopped yet?” An underling asked confusedly when he saw Feng Sibiao running farther into the distance. He was already well over a couple of hundred meters away.
“Oh…” Everyone felt the same way after listening to it. This distance is a bit too far. What is Feng Sibiao trying to do?
At the beginning, Zhang Dapao and Yao Sanpao shared the same thoughts as these stupid underlings. They thought they were watching Feng Sibiao’ executing the perfect combination of speed and strength. Feng Sibiao’s methods and speed when he knocked out Zhang Penbai and Little Qiangzi earlier on had shocked everyone, so they were very confident in him.
But now, Feng Sibiao kept running farther and farther away without looking back. Even if Yao Sanpao was any stupider, he would still know what had happened! Only my stupid underlings could think up the reason that Feng Sibiao needs a buffer before he can perform a big move. This is not a television show. What buffer is needed here?
Moreover, Yao Sanpao knew about an underground boxing ring’s size. The boxing ring is only so big. What kind of big move can he perform here? If it needed such a long distance, he would have to get up to the spectator seats! That is impossible.
Therefore, it could be concluded that Feng Sibiao wasn’t showing any perfect combination of speed and strength, nor was he preparing any big killing move. He was just simply running away!
Feng Sibiao had become frightened and run away immediately after Yang Ming finished saying a sentence! Although Yao Sanpao was unwilling to believe this, the fact was right in front of him.
“Shut up, all of you!” Yao Sanpao was irritated with his underlings’ jabbering. He was at a loss for a moment after scowling at them.
Why are the few of us still standing here when even Feng Sibiao ran away without saying a word? How can we offend this person in front of us when even Feng Sibiao doesn’t have the guts to offend him?
The underlings didn’t understand why Yao Sanpao was angry. However, they also immediately shut their mouths when they realized that the situation had turned bleaks.
Yang Ming definitely would not let Feng Sibiao run away so easily. He hadn’t dealt with the matter of his smashed car yet. Also, weren’t Zhang Penbai and his underling also knocked down by Feng Sibiao as well?
“Why are you leaving just like this? Our stuff hasn’t been settled yet!” Yang Ming lifted his hand as he said this. A flying needle shot out of his fingertips at an unbeatable speed, and directly pierced the acupoints on Feng Sibiao’s leg. Feng Sibiao’s right leg, which was pedaling back and forth constantly, suddenly stagnated. It became stiff and refused to follow orders. But His body still rushed forward due to inertia and his brain’s control over his left leg.
This caused Feng Sibiao to lose his center of gravity and fall forward to the ground. He bit the dust after falling down with a loud “bang” sound, and couldn’t get up.
“Ah!” A miserable blood-curdling scream came out of Feng Sibiao’s mouth. Although he was quite far away from everyone, his scream was exceptionally clear at this empty resort on this quiet night.
Zhang Dapao, Yao Sanpao, the shop owner, and all the underlings were stupefied! Even Sui Yuemin’s jaw dropped as he felt that it was inconceivable! Only Jing Xiaolu, who was standing next to Yang Ming, remained sober and proud. She thought, You’re really rushing towards your death by trying to show off in front of my husband without being aware of your strength!
Yang Ming had actually knocked down Feng Sibiao who had run more than two hundred meters away with just a casual shot. What kind of scary martial art is this? Could this be the legendary “touch of death”?
Although they were unwilling to believe it, there was no other explanation. He only casually waved his hand and Feng Sibiao immediately fell to the ground. He was a legendary martial arts master.
“You, go and retrieve him,” Yang Ming instructed Yao Sanpao as he pointed at Feng Sibiao.
“Ah… me?” Yang Sanpao pointed at himself in surprise and asked.
“Yes, you. You can even try to run away with him but it will be at your own risk,” Yang Ming said lightly.
“I don’t dare!” Yao Sanpao was stupefied after witnessing Yang Ming’s skills. He couldn’t think of running. He would be served Yang Ming’s touch of death just like Feng Sibiao if he tried to run away.
Yao Sanpao didn’t have any thoughts to mess with Yang Ming at the moment. He was completely deterred by Yang Ming. It would be lucky for him not to be incriminated by Yang Ming.
Yao Sanpao turned around and ran quickly towards Feng Sibiao. Feng Sibiao was still unable to stand up when Yao Sanpao reached him. His entire right leg seemed to be unresponsive as if it was no longer his own.
The feeling of deep fear and horror he felt towards Hou Zhenhan from half a year ago besieged Feng Sibiao once again! When Yang Ming said, “Are you leaving just like this? Our stuff isn’t settled yet,” Feng Sibiao was feeling amused. Of course I’m running away. Why would I stay here?
Even if I run away, what can you do about it? Feng Sibiao was quite confident in his speed. Moreover, Yang Ming’s car had been smashed, so Feng Sibiao wasn’t worried that Yang Ming could catch up.
However, this was just his initial wishful thinking.
Chapter 1810: Legendary Master
Before his thoughts materialized, Feng Sibiao suddenly felt that his right leg was numbed and out of control. He then fell to the ground heavily.
Feng Sibiao tried to stand up, but he realized in horror that his right leg was completely unresponsive! His leg was out of his control as if it wasn’t a part of his body.
Feng Sibiao only realized now that Yang Ming’s words weren’t said casually. He had already put them into action! Feng Sibiao no longer had any doubts that Yang Ming was indeed Hou Zhenhan’s master!
Only that person’s master could do this! Feng Sibiao knew that he had failed completely! After realizing the truth, Feng Sibiao wasn’t in a rush to run away anymore. He knew that he couldn’t run away. It would just be a futile struggle if he tried.
He had come to the wrong conclusion previously. The injuries of his four underlings weren’t due to Yang Ming’s inadequate strength, but because Yang Ming showed them mercy and didn’t want to kill them.
AfterYao Sanpao ran over to help him, Feng Sibiao stood up with his support, and limped towards Yang Ming. He could only admit defeat as he couldn’t run away anymore. Although Feng Sibiao didn’t know what was waiting for him, he still forced himself to face it.
“At that time I was thinking, why are there so many people looking to trouble me when I haven’t offended anyone here?” Yang Ming looked at Zhang Dapao and the shop owner with a faint smile after Yao Sanpao left, “It’s indeed you two who are making trouble!”
“It’s… Haha… just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding…” The shop owner was really dumbfounded. How could he be Yang Ming’s opponent when even the great Feng Sibiao had run away right after seeing him?
The shop owner regretted his stinginess. Why couldn’t he learn his lesson after a loss rather than thinking of revenge? If he could swallow his pride, these matters wouldn’t happen.
Therefore, the shop owner once again showed an awkward yet horrified expression. He said the same words that he said to Yang Ming in the barbecue restaurant, that it was a misunderstanding.
“Misunderstanding?” Yang Ming couldn’t help but laugh after listening to the shop owner’s words. “You told me earlier that it was a misunderstanding, but why have you come to me again?”
“This…” The shop owner was speechless and his face was blushed. He didn’t know how to explain, but he was extremely scared. He was afraid that Yang Ming would deal with him the same way he dealt with Feng Sibiao. He clenched his teeth and said, “I was wrong! Yes, I was offended before and wanted to take revenge. But now I don’t want to and dare not to, so please forgive me!”
The shop owner’s straightforwardness dumbfounded Yang Ming, “Do you admit it?”
“I admit it. Let me know how you want to punish me! What belongs to you belongs to you, it won’t belong to you no matter how if it doesn’t belong to you [2], I’m… I’m ready to risk everything!” The shop owner seemed to be ready to risk everything. He didn’t care anymore as he knew that he couldn’t escape.
“Punishment?” Yang Ming hadn’t thought about how to punish the shop owner. There were too many people just like him. He wouldn’t be able to punish them all even if he wanted to. And he couldn’t kill him just because of this matter. Yang Ming was in a dilemma and didn’t know what to do. So, he turned to Jing Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, what do you think?”
“Let him pay for the car! How can he be let off so easily when my car is destroyed!” Jing Xiaolu only had eyes for money. She didn’t suffer any loss other than her smashed car. So naturally, she wanted to extort money from the shop owner.
Yang Ming immediately understood Jing Xiaolu’s meaning. He couldn’t help but laugh at her greed for money. However, he admitted that extorting money from the shop owner to teach him a lesson was the best solution.
“I’ll compensate for the car no matter how much it is!” The shop owner was afraid that Yang Ming would injure him to the degree that he had to stay in the hospital for a year or so. Once he heard Jing Xiaolu’s words that gave him a way out by paying money, he couldn’t disagree and immediately responded.
“It cost 1.03 million when I bought it. After all the standard procedures, it cost around 1.2 to 1.3 million. How much do you want to pay?” Jing Xiaolu asked.
“Hu…” The shop owner was relieved. He knew about the car’s value. It seemed that Jing Xiaolu didn’t extort too much money from him. He was able to fork out that one million as he had a small saving of five million after a few years of cheating and deceiving. The shop owner didn’t want to offend a person who could make Feng Sibiao turn around and run away. He was willing to settle the matter with some money.
“I… I’ll pay half a million. Is that okay?” The shop owner thought, Half a million should be more than enough to repair a car worth a million, right?
“Half a million? This is a new car! It was newly-registered!” Jing Xiaolu looked at her beloved car that was smashed in distress.
“How about we do it this way. You take out half a million.” Yang Ming then turned to look at Yao Sanpao who was holding Feng Sibiao by the arm, “You two were in it too, right? Both of you also fork out half a million combined. This will make the total one million. Then, this matter will be settled.”
Yang Ming could see that Feng Sibiao was a timid person, so there was no need to kill him. Yang Ming reckoned that Feng Sibiao would be so scared that his calves would cramp the next time he heard his name, and wouldn’t even think of revenge.
“Okay, okay…” Before Yao Sanpao could answer, Feng Sibiao nodded and answered hurriedly, “I’ll compensate. I am willing to pay a million, let alone half a million!”
Feng Sibiao was a rich man. He didn’t make little money from his earlier boxing years. He now had a net worth of at least 10 million. So, he was very happy that he could pay money to avoid misfortune! Yang Ming was already equivalent to a monster to him.
“Oh, sure. I was going to let you take out half a million. Since you are willing to take out one million, then one million it is!” Yang Ming was very satisfied with Feng Sibiao’s approach.
“En, en!” Feng Sibiao nodded promptly, “I’ll take out a million… Brother, would you be able to treat my leg as I have taken out an extra half a million…”
Feng Sibiao didn’t understand what had happened to his leg and elite martial arts such as attacking the acupoints!
The bell on a tiger’s neck must be untied by the person who tied it [3]. If Yang Ming didn’t treat it, he would be disabled for life even if he could get treated in a hospital. So, he thought that it was worth it to buy his health with half a million!
He was scared of Yang Ming to his bones. So, he believed that he would be disabled for life if Yang Ming didn’t treat his right leg!
“Oh, I’ll treat you as you have a good attitude in owning up to your mistake and actively compensating the victim!” Yang Ming nodded and said with a smile. “I was planning to sell a pair of crutches to you so that you could use it for the rest of your life!”
“Ah…” Feng Sibiao was startled and he broke out into a cold sweat. He thought, That was close! Fortunately I said something, otherwise, I would be disabled for the rest of my life! Feng Sibiao thought he was lucky. It was completely worth it to spend this one million!
Yang Ming casually patted Feng Sibiao’s waist twice. Suddenly, Feng Sibiao could feel his right leg and he was overjoyed. He turned around twice and exclaimed, “Oh? Is my leg treated? I can walk now. It’s amazing. Look, I can jump now!”
Having said that, Feng Sibiao jumped twice on the ground to show everyone that his leg was treated.
“…” Yang Ming was a little speechless when he looked at Feng Sibiao’s stupid act.
Yao Sanpao, Zhang Dapao, and the shop owner were really surprised when they saw that Feng Sibiao had been treated just like that! They knew Feng Sibiao had no reason to lie. The only possibility was that Yang Ming really knew the legendary acupoints martial arts. This was the only way he could instantly treat Feng Sibiao’s leg!
Attacking the acupoints, the touch of death, these were all legends! Could they provoke such a powerful legend? Initially, the shop owner felt that the half a million he took out was too much. Now, it seemed that it wasn’t too much! Yes, it really wasn’t even enough…
