Chapter 22: A True Man Lives Between Heaven and Earth
S*i Feizhe was still wondering why the woman in blue called that lustful girl “Little Fatty” when he saw the two of them fly out of the thatched shed and towards the battlefield in the sky.
The lustful girl’s clothes fluttered in the wind, like a celestial maiden in a painting. As she flew, her figure shifted, as if there were several of her.
The woman in blue was more direct. Her whole body was surrounded by lightning, like a sharp arrow joining the battlefield. She raised her hand and punched Mei Ren.
She cultivated the 《Questioning Heart Hammer》, first questioning her own heart, then questioning the hearts of others. It was one of the few techniques that could be cultivated beyond the True Realm!
However, very few people in the Jiang Family cultivated hammer techniques.
Because this hammer technique was very painful to practice, and even more painful to use in battle!
Every hammer blow was first struck on one’s own heart, on one’s own will, and then on others!
If someone with an unstable mind and weak will cultivated it, this 《Questioning Heart Hammer》 would be like a useless dance. But if someone had a firm mind and an unyielding will, then the 《Questioning Heart Hammer》 would be terrifying!
Just like at this moment, Zhan Yunfan had an ice dragon in his left hand and a fire dragon in his right. Water and fire complemented each other, and it seemed very powerful, but it was shattered by Mei Ren’s punches and kicks infused with Black Wind Energy!
Those ice and fire dragons were like toys!
Fortunately, Hua Xiaomei was beside him, wielding his mace to block most of Mei Ren’s attacks. Otherwise, Zhan Yunfan might have been killed already.
But this couldn’t be blamed on Zhan Yunfan. His martial art, 《Ice and Fire Double Mirror》, was a low-level technique of the Hua Family, and he was only rewarded with it because he had made some contributions when he was young.
How could a servant, a mere manager, be worthy of a high-level technique?
《Ice and Fire Double Mirror》 was just flashy and intimidating. It might work against ordinary martial artists, but against a direct descendant of the Northern Sea Demon Sect like Mei Ren, it was really difficult to achieve anything.
Both Hua Xiaomei and Mei Ren were at the Celestial Cycle realm, but realm didn’t represent combat power.
Because techniques and experience also determined combat power. Within the same realm, even if you shattered your opponent’s head a moment earlier, it could decide the outcome of the battle!
Not to mention different techniques, different experiences, and different fighting wills?
In the harsh environment of the Northern Sea, one’s will was tempered. Mei Ren’s mentality was definitely different from that of a pampered young master like Hua Xiaomei.
Mei Ren became more and more courageous as he fought, constantly suppressing the two of them. It wasn’t until Jiang Ning’s punch arrived that the Black Wind Energy on his fist was broken!
“Good punch! What a good punch!” Mei Ren laughed loudly and said, “This is more like it! Finally, someone who’s not so useless!”
“And there’s me!” Huang Wufeng lightly floated behind Mei Ren. His figure shifted, as if there were three of him, and he struck Mei Ren with a palm!
“Wind!” A storm whirled around Mei Ren. In an instant, he threw four punches, each aimed at one of the four people surrounding him.
He actually wanted to fight one against four!
Hua Xiaomei blocked the punch with his long mace. He felt a slight pang of heartache for the three percent of the Three Talents Manor’s profits, but if he couldn’t block Mei Ren’s attack now, the Three Talents Manor might be gone.
“You should d*e!” Hua Xiaomei backhanded a mace strike at Mei Ren’s head.
At this time, Mei Ren’s main opponent became Jiang Ning. There was no other way. Jiang Ning’s punches were too heavy, too fierce, too ruthless! And Huang Wufeng’s figure was constantly shifting, as if several people were fighting Mei Ren at the same time. Hua Xiaomei chose this moment to strike with his mace.
Just as Hua Xiaomei’s mace was about to hit Mei Ren’s head, Zhan Yunfan made his move.
He channeled his energy, and the ice and fire intertwined on his palm, unexpectedly transforming into black and white Yin and Yang energies. Then, the Yin and Yang energies spun violently, striking Hua Xiaomei’s back!
“Ugh!” Hua Xiaomei only felt a tremendous force hit his back, and then two opposing energies, Yin and Yang, rampaged within his body, disrupting his True Qi and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
“You!” He looked back and saw Zhan Yunfan about to strike again, aiming to take his life.
He hurriedly suppressed the chaotic True Qi within his body and swung his mace at Zhan Yunfan. However, in his hasty state, how could he block Zhan Yunfan? Zhan Yunfan parried the mace with one palm and struck Hua Xiaomei’s wide-open chest with the other.
“Why… my Hua Family has treated you well!” Hua Xiaomei was struck again, his True Qi in disarray. He could no longer stay in the air and was forced to fall to the ground. He said unsteadily,
“What do you mean treated well! I’ve spent my whole life working for the Hua Family, shedding blood and sweat, diligently guarding the door for them! In the end, I’m still a servant, still stuck with 《Ice and Fire Double Mirror》!” Zhan Yunfan descended from the sky and slowly walked towards Hua Xiaomei, saying.
“A true man lives between heaven and earth, how can he be content to live under others?”
“I can’t believe it. The Hua Family actually misjudged you. You’re actually a treacherous wolf!” Hua Xiaomei said with a bitter smile.

“Hehe… you were born the young master of the Hua Family, how could you understand the feelings of someone like me, born a servant!” Zhan Yunfan reminisced, “The things you can easily obtain are the things I have struggled my whole life to pursue but never could!”
“Countless techniques of the Hua Family are available for you to choose from! You can use all the great medicines of the Hua Family as you please!”
“But I have to risk my life for everything I have!”
“And in the end, I still have to wait for your good mood to get what I want. And I have to thank you profusely!”
“Why! Why!” Zhan Yunfan let out his cry. This was the question he had wanted to ask for decades.
“Just because you are a servant of our Hua Family!” Hua Xiaomei regulated his breathing and stabilized his True Qi.
A mere servant, daring to rebel!
He, Hua Xiaomei, wasn’t just handsome!
“But didn’t King Ye Jufu say to love universally? That everyone is a brother?” Zhan Yunfan looked at Hua Xiaomei and suddenly changed his tone, saying,
“He’s been dead for hundreds of years. Who still cares about what he said!” Hua Xiaomei “whoosh” opened his fan. The fan was like a blade, and his figure floated towards Zhan Yunfan, attacking.
Now that he was injured, he had to strike unexpectedly.
Zhan Yunfan had most likely seen the mace technique he used before. This 《Carefree Flower Fan》 would definitely surprise him.
“I knew it!” Zhan Yunfan sighed and said, “I knew there would never be another person like King Ye Jufu in this world!”
He channeled his energy with both palms, black and white Yin and Yang energies intertwined. One palm struck towards Hua Xiaomei, carrying an aura of indistinguishable chaos.
“Ugh…” Hua Xiaomei spat out blood, his face full of disbelief. This palm strike hit him from a distance of three meters.
“What kind of palm technique is this?” He spat out blood and couldn’t help but ask.
“Your Hua Family is so stingy. The Mei Family readily offered 《Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Intertwined Hand》.” Zhan Yunfan said faintly.
He didn’t feel happy, only sadness.
Heaven and earth intertwined, Yin and Yang intertwined. Within ten meters of Zhan Yunfan, it was all a place of intertwined Yin and Yang, all within the reach of his palm prints!
This was also a top-level technique of the Demon Sect in the past, and no one had successfully cultivated it for hundreds of years.
“Now that you know, go and d*e! One day, I will personally ask Hua Chonglang about this!”
Zhan Yunfan: Are kings, nobles, and generals inherently superior?
