Chapter 229: Cheng Yu Crushes Them, and No One Dares Resist!
As Cheng Yu’s figure appeared, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, but the balance of strength rapidly reversed.
Xiao Qi and the others immediately felt their confidence surge.
Lord Cheng had arrived. Their sky had cleared!
“Lord Cheng, these people want to forcibly take Su Wei away!”
Xiao Qi had the quickest mind and had long since seen through Zhang Fen’s scheme, so he hurriedly spoke up to warn Cheng Yu.
These people were after the Blood Pills!
“Mm, I know.”
Cheng Yu nodded. He was fairly satisfied with the performance of Xiao Qi and the others.
“When did my people become someone else’s to discipline?”
He turned his head again and looked expressionlessly at Lu Lin as an invisible pressure erupted from him.
From far away, he had already sensed the aura of an expert making a move, but he had not expected it to be Zhang Fen bullying his people.
This fellow named Lu Lin even seemed to want to interfere as well.
Cheng Yu had originally not intended to bother with these people.
Whether it was the deeply rooted Lu Family or the newly risen Zhang Brothers who had climbed up by relying on a great patron, neither was worth him spending any thought on.
Those who only cared about internal strife would never be worthy of being Cheng Yu’s opponents.
Cheng Yu had not expected that remembering the food but not the beating was still the nature of most people.
He was unwilling to pay attention to these useless fools, but they would take the initiative to cling to him, like a toad on the surface of his shoe. It did not bite, but it disgusted him.
Perhaps stomping it to death was the only long-term solution.
As a direct-line scion of the Lu Family, Lu Lin had suddenly been suppressed by Cheng Yu. Subconsciously, he still wanted to question him coldly.
“Cheng Yu...”
But after recalling the other party’s strength and murderous nature, he immediately changed his attitude.
If he accidentally provoked the other party, it would be too late even to cry!
He lowered his voice. “Lord Cheng, perhaps you have misunderstood something. Your man used excessively sinister methods while sparring with a colleague. We merely wanted to warn and educate him. We have no intention of showing disrespect to you, my lord.”
Zhang Fen also spoke. “Cheng Yu, what do you mean by this? You actually dare to attack a member of the Lu Family!”
After seeing Cheng Yu appear, the hatred and anger he had imagined did not surface. Instead, he started trembling.
Ning Dingyuan and Blood Owl had almost certainly been taken down by Cheng Yu alone, and that also represented the power behind Cheng Yu.
It was far too terrifying!
Although he and his elder brother had been openly and secretly contending with the Lu Family, at this moment, he shamelessly raised the Lu Family’s banner as well.
The words “Lu Family” represented the Jinyiwei of Great Qian.
As a member of the Jinyiwei, Cheng Yu absolutely should not attack someone from the Lu Family!
“Hurry and release Lord Lu, otherwise I—”
“Noisy! Was I speaking to you?”
Cheng Yu’s voice suddenly rang out like a great bell. A terrifying and majestic force abruptly swept outward, and the airwave slammed fiercely toward Zhang Fen.
BANG!
Zhang Fen only felt thunder roar beside his ears, making them buzz violently. Blood actually flowed from his ears and nose.
A feeling of extreme terror erupted in his heart.
He was injured!
The giant black-fog hands formed from his Internal Energy immediately dispersed, and Su Wei fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
The entire Martial Practice Ground fell instantly silent.
Whether it was Cheng Yu’s people or the Jinyiwei from other factions, everyone went quiet at this moment.
With one stern shout, he could injure an Eighth-Rank martial artist.
What level of strength did Cheng Yu possess?!
“How is that possible...”
Zhang Fen wiped the blood beneath his nose with his fingertip, cold sweat breaking out across his forehead.
A terrifying fact had appeared before him.
Cheng Yu’s strength was definitely greater than that of his elder brother Zhang De. At the very least, he had the strength of the Mid Ninth Rank!
The problem was that Cheng Yu was only twenty years old!
Even if the Progenitor of Qian were reborn, he would be no more than this!
Lu Lin, who was being held down by Cheng Yu, also began trembling wildly, his expression twisting uncontrollably.
As the proud son of heaven ranked third on the Human Ranking, he could no longer care about his bearing at this moment. His upper and lower teeth started chattering.
A single shout was enough to injure Zhang Fen.
If Cheng Yu wanted to pinch Lu Lin to death, would that not merely take the movement of a hand?
“Lord Cheng, please calm your anger. We were only anxious for a moment. We absolutely had no intention of targeting you or your subordinates. Please do not blame us, my lord...”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the other Lu Family disciples present changed drastically. Brother Lu Lin had actually lowered his head to Cheng Yu!
Now, the family head was being punished and remained in the imperial palace, while Brother Lu Ming was severely injured.
Fang Xiaolin was still an outsider with a different surname in the end.
Lu Lin was currently the person with the highest true status among the Lu Family within the Jinyiwei.
His position as third on the Human Ranking also matched this.
If Lu Lin lowered his head to Cheng Yu, did that not mean the Lu Family was lowering its head before Cheng Yu?
“Brother Lu Lin, you...”
“Shut up!”
Lu Lin immediately shouted.
How could he not know what these people meant? Anger instantly ignited in his heart.
They did not even look at the situation!
Cheng Yu’s hand was not on their shoulders, so they could speak without feeling the pain, could they?
If something happened, he was the one who would die!
Though Lu Lin was angry, his mind also cleared. His attitude toward Cheng Yu could not be too low.
If he displeased the old men of the Lu Family, they could make him third on the Human Ranking, and they could also strip away the resource support that made him a proud son of heaven.
After weighing the situation, Lu Lin gritted his teeth and spoke. “Lord Cheng, can you first release your hand? For a person of your stature, why lower yourself to quibble with a mere Seventh Rank like me?”
A junior!
He understood very clearly in his heart that Cheng Yu had at least Ninth-Rank strength.
He himself had only just entered the Seventh-Rank Realm. Although his talent was already extremely good, he was simply not qualified to compete with Cheng Yu. If there was to be competition, it should at least be people like Lu Ming, who were more than ten years older, competing with him.
He was only a child!
For Cheng Yu to attack him was bullying the young with seniority. It was a disgraceful act!
“A mere Seventh Rank?”
When Cheng Yu heard this, a strange smile immediately appeared on his face.
Lu Lin hurriedly said, “Lord Cheng, for a person like you, quibbling with me would likely damage the bearing of an expert...”
Cheng Yu shook his head. The way the Lu Family spoke was truly interesting. First, they said one could not use sinister moves in a spar, and now they said it was disgraceful to bully the young with seniority.
So many rules.
If they had been thrown into the environment Cheng Yu had grown in, they would probably have died long ago.
The Jianghu was full of deception and betrayal. For the sake of profit, anything could be sold out.
Stubbornly speaking of these rules was courting death!
Moreover...
Cheng Yu smiled. “So what if you are at the Seventh Rank? I am also at the Seventh Rank. Fighting you is perfectly appropriate.”
Mid Seventh Rank!
This was Cheng Yu’s current true Martial Dao realm.
However, with his profound accumulation and insight, especially the perfected Longevity and Origin-Replenishing, Cheng Yu’s bodily state had been pushed to its limit.
The perfect body pursued by martial artists!
His breath flowed like clouds and mist, his meridians were like rivers, and his body moved like thunder!
In this state, Cheng Yu’s control over his Vital Blood and Internal Energy had reached the extreme.
If one did not consider Grandmaster experts who involved the power of “Dao,” then with his body alone, he already stood at the peak of martial artists.
As long as a Ninth-Rank martial artist had not comprehended “Dao,” they would not be Cheng Yu’s match at this moment!
Precisely because of this, even the thunderous sound from his mouth could erupt with a terrifying effect akin to throwing a punch.
With nothing more than a stern shout, he had injured Zhang Fen internally.
“What? Seventh Rank?!”
At this moment, everyone on the entire Martial Practice Ground felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Cheng Yu’s words left them completely stunned.
He spent every day chasing down Eighth-Rank and Ninth-Rank martial artists, abusing Seventh-Ranks as easily as beating dogs.
And this strength was called Seventh Rank?
Cheng Yu paid no attention to these people’s reactions and continued speaking faintly.
“Little Lu, I will ask you one more time. Do you still want to discipline my people for me?”
As he spoke, the faint sound of a sharp blade scraping against its sheath rang out. The Dragon-Dethroning Xiuchun Saber at his waist floated up, silently revealing an inch of its blade.
The blade was like a mirror, reflecting Lu Lin’s terrified expression.
