Chapter 133: Chapter 57 The Most Correct Thing I've Done in My Life

In the inner courtyard, Li Linfeng's voice rang out strong and clear, deafening to those around.

Following Shen Qing's swift and decisive move, his heart once again blazed with boundless pride, and he did not attempt to conceal the proud look on his face.

At that moment, he felt that the most correct decision he had made in his life was not rejecting Shen Qing from his door on account of his background, his foundation, or his various shortcomings.

Instead, he had graciously given him the opportunity to learn martial arts.

After taking him in as a disciple, he did not neglect Shen Qing, treating him no differently even when facing difficulties within the sect.

Not only that, but he also went so far as to personally take him as his direct disciple, and even intended to marry his daughter to him...

It was because of such past goodwill that today's blessings had come.

If he had been the slightest bit more snobbish back then, not taking Shen Qing seriously, perhaps today Linfeng Hall would have completely fallen under the challenge of Mi Gang.

In this moment, Li Linfeng wanted to throw back all the mocking words Sun Tiangai had thrown at him, but before he could open his mouth, his body wavered, his head spun, and he began to sway unsteadily.

Ouyang Tiezhu, who was standing behind him, acted quickly upon noticing something was amiss with Li Linfeng. He hurriedly stepped forward to subtly support Li Linfeng at the waist, saving him from embarrassment in front of everyone.

Li Linfeng shot Ouyang Tiezhu a grateful look and restrained the expression on his face, deciding then to quiet his thoughts and speak no further.

Li Lingchan, standing behind Li Linfeng, was gently biting her lip, her gaze toward Shen Qing extremely complex, her heart a mix of emotions.

In contrast to the satisfaction and joy on Linfeng Hall's side, the faces of the members of Mi Gang were all taut with tension.

Especially Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, whose face was an interesting picture of emotions.

He had almost completely crushed Linfeng Hall not long ago, only to have the situation suddenly reverse completely.

He watched helplessly as his once-proud disciple was defeated with a single move, even causing a drop in his own morale.

Sun Tiangai's face, shadowed and pale, twisted in unspeakable rage and pain. He trembled slightly on the Taishi Chair, fists clenched so tightly that the knuckles began to whiten.

Shen Qing surveyed the members of Mi Gang, slowly fixing his gaze upon Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai.

"I presume this gentleman must be Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai. I am Shen Qing, a younger generation, and I have met the Gang Leader. I've heard there has been a misunderstanding between my master and you. Would it be possible, on my account, to settle this matter today?" Shen Qing spoke evenly and with dignity.

Sun Tiangai thought that Shen Qing, not wanting to be too presumptuous in the presence of his many supporters, was looking to quit while he was ahead, leading to a slight dissipation of his anger.

But seeing such arrogance from a junior rekindled a deep dissatisfaction in his heart, which soon turned into waves of hatred, replacing the accumulated anger.

"Settle? I wonder, dear nephew, how do you propose we settle this?" Sun Tiangai said coldly.

Shen Qing smiled and replied, "It's quite simple. If Gang Leader Sun would compensate our Linfeng Hall with five thousand taels for mental anguish and promise to henceforth avoid our waters and retreat from Linfeng Hall's sphere of influence, this matter can be put behind us."

"You're saying you killed my man, and I'm supposed to pay you?" Sun Tiangai felt as though he had just suffered a great insult as he stood up to look directly at Shen Qing, "That doesn't seem logical, does it?"

Shen Qing continued smiling, "Being stronger than you is the logic. What do you think, Gang Leader Sun? You all don't seem as strong as I had imagined."

This statement landed like a heavy hammer on the hearts of the Mi Gang members.

At this moment, they all realized that this good-looking young man was not as harmless as he appeared, nor as humble and polite; beneath the surface, there was a fierce and ruthless air.

The image of Linfeng Hall teetering on the brink of collapse was instantly restored by him, and even elevated.

"What arrogance. Do you think defeating Meng De proves anything? He defeated your master and your fellow disciples before you, exhausting a great deal of strength. You merely took advantage of a vulnerable moment," said a Bone Refining Realm martial master from Mi Gang named Jing Yuanzhong.

He had watched closely.

The finger Shen Qing used was as swift as the wind, and its power was extraordinary.

When it struck Meng De's back, the Qi Force that burst forth even contained an intense heat.

The power required for such force was extremely exhausting, and Wind Defying Finger was a martial art that excelled in speed, with only average defense and stamina.

He was certain that the man before him was definitely not as strong as he had imagined, and that the whole scene was just an act.

With this thought in mind, Jing Yuanzhong no longer hesitated and said, "I am Jing Yuanzhong from the Mi Gang, and I would like to learn a thing or two from this young brother." Experience tales at m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

Shen Qing glanced at Jing Yuanzhong, who had already stepped forward, and with a slight lift of the corner of his mouth, he pointed at the two people beside him and said, "How about you all come at once, to save the trouble."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuanzhong's heart skipped a beat.

He realized that this direct disciple from Linfeng Hall might not be pretending, and a slight urge to retreat suddenly sprouted in his heart again.

Then with due respect, I will comply."

The named members of the Mi Gang showed no fear on their faces, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and without any fancy maneuvers, threw a direct and strong punch.

Following in his footsteps, another Mi Gang member threw his punch as well.

These people were all in the Bone Refining Realm, with formidable punching power throughout their bodies.

The muscles of the two men seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, swelling up rapidly, with bulging veins protruding on their skin, like dormant azure dragons roaming beneath the surface.

Shen Qing lightly drew a line with his foot forward and assumed the starting position.

This starting position, infused with movements from the Yin and Yang of the Eight Trigrams, appeared somewhat ethereal and unfathomable.

He took a gentle breath, concentrating all his strength at his fingertips.

The next moment, Shen Qing's form flashed, turning into an afterimage; Wind Defying Finger, trailing with it a red flame, precisely aimed at the armpit of the gang member charging at him first.

"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out as the charging gang member's body seemed to be pierced through, his lungs inside the chest seared into cooked flesh by the scorching force.

The entire person, like a cut-off kite, traced a parabolic arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

He gripped his own neck tightly, his face turning bright red as though he was unable to catch his breath, and ultimately suffocated to death.

After killing one person with a single move, the second person had already arrived.

He too struck with both fists, following the same technique as the previous man.

However, slightly different was that this person's punches were steadier, indicating a more solid foundation.

Shen Qing's eyes sharp, he gave a carefree smile and, without any superfluous movements, his figure shifted and a powerful surge of Qi Force burst forth from within him, his two fingers sweeping like a fierce storm at the man.

The opponent's face changed slightly, evidently not expecting Shen Qing to possess such strong Inner Strength.

Just as he was about to swing his fists again, a sudden intense pain shot through his neck.

A dull bursting sound followed.

His vision blurred, and his head involuntarily flew off.

The scene fell deadly silent.

Shen Qing's eyes shifted, staring at Jing Yuanzhong, and with a sinister smile, he said, "Your turn!"

"Ah!" Jing Yuanzhong was instantly terrified out of his wits.

Where was there any sign of exhaustion?

He had guessed completely wrong.

Thick fear enveloped his entire body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

The Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, could no longer stand by and shouted, "Enough! The money, I'll pay!"
