Cultivating the Divine Art Wrong, Wreaking Havoc on the Jianghu – Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Bullying Too Much

“I am nothing, just an ordinary person!” Shi Feizhe looked at the furious Hua Xiaomei.

“Come! To the training ground! If you break the tables and chairs here, maybe you’ll be planing wooden boards after the fight!” Shi Feizhe gestured for Hua Xiaomei to fight on the training ground.

How could Hua Xiaomei stand such ridicule?

He kicked the huge round table to pieces with one foot, closed the fan in his right hand, emitting black and white rotating light, and struck at Shi Feizhe.

Behind him, a deity wearing a crown appeared, it was the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak who judges life and death!

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak had an unclear face, wearing an imperial robe and holding a divine mace, carrying endless majesty and dominance. He posed to strike just like Hua Xiaomei.

Of course, this was not a True Martial Divine Image, but the external manifestation of a Zhoutian martial artist’s technique.

“Fancy tricks!” Shi Feizhe looked at Hua Xiaomei’s move, and huge white sword Qi appeared around him.

The first sword Qi blocked the folding fan in Hua Xiaomei’s hand.

The second sword Qi hit Hua Xiaomei’s chest. Hua Xiaomei quickly changed his move, using the folding fan to block this sword Qi.

The third sword Qi hit Hua Xiaomei’s chest again, sending him flying out of the reception room!

“How is this possible?”

Hua Xiaomei was on the training ground, looking at Shi Feizhe in the reception room in astonishment from the large hole in the wall.

He thought Shi Feizhe had some skills, but he didn’t expect him to be so strong.

He was clearly just an ordinary person when he saw him three years ago!

In three years, some special techniques could allow an ordinary person to become a See the Truth cultivator, but it was absolutely impossible to become a Qi Sea cultivator.

Between See the Truth and Qi Sea, there was still a long accumulation of True Qi needed!

Moreover, a Qi Sea cultivator could circulate the Zhoutian, and even crush a Zhoutian cultivator!

He thought about how he started practicing martial arts at the age of five, cultivated True Qi at sixteen, broke through to the Qi Sea realm at twenty-four, and was almost thirty before becoming a Zhoutian cultivator.

Compared to Shi Feizhe, his martial arts journey seemed like a joke!

This… was simply impossible!

“I don’t believe it!” He opened the folding fan in his hand, held the fan with his backhand, then his figure floated like a butterfly, coming to Shi Feizhe’s front in an unpredictable manner. The fan surface was like a blade, carrying a gray light, sweeping towards Shi Feizhe’s throat.

This was the killing move “Butterfly Sending Off” of the 《Carefree Flower Fan》. Legend has it that there is a river in the underworld, where butterflies dance to send off the passing souls.

“Butterfly Sending Off” took the meaning of butterflies sending off souls, seemingly graceful, but actually extremely sinister.

However, in the face of the huge white sword Qi, it was all in vain!

Two sword Qi that appeared suddenly made his move seem as if he had hit the sword Qi himself.

“Ugh…” He was knocked to the training ground by two sword Qi, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His clothes were torn, and there were several thin and long wounds on his skin.

That was the damage caused by the sword Qi breaking through his protective True Qi.

Shi Feizhe walked out of the large hole in the reception room to the training ground and said to Hua Xiaomei, “You are defeated!”

Among the Zhoutian martial artists Shi Feizhe had fought, only Zhang Yi of the 《Ten Mountains True Thunder Sword》 could compare to Hua Xiaomei.

He looked intimidating, but he was quite weak in a real fight.

He had already held back, otherwise, Hua Xiaomei might have been killed already.

Subjectively, Hua Xiaomei wanted to harm him, but objectively, he did open the path of martial arts for him.

“Shi Feizhai! There’s still us!”

Jiang Ning walked slowly from the other end of the training ground, her face slightly pale.

Since she came to an agreement with Shi Feizhe a few days ago, there was no longer poison in her food and water, and with the antidote bought by Xiong Ba down the mountain, her injuries had almost completely healed.

“You want to break the agreement?” Shi Feizhe saw Jiang Ning’s appearance and knew that she wanted to tear up the previous agreement!

“Agreement! Of course I will keep it!” Jiang Ning said with a sneer, “When you kneel down and beg me, I will naturally keep the agreement!”

“Good, good, good! Who else? You two alone are not my opponents!” Shi Feizhe laughed in anger, looking at Xiong Ba at the side.

Just these two were not his opponents, so Xiong Ba must also be involved.

Xiong Ba put down the tile knife in his hand, patted the mud on his hands, came to the training ground, and said to Shi Feizhe, “Sorry, Academy Head Shi! I can’t refuse my wife’s request!”

“Is there anyone else?” Shi Feizhe looked around and said, “Just the three of you? No one else?”

“And me!”

Old Man Fan, who was watching from the side, walked out from the corner. He released his aura, and during this time, he had actually transformed from a Qi Sea martial artist into a Zhoutian martial artist.

He faced Jiang Ning and said, “This old man wants to have a private chat with Miss Jiang Ning! I hope Miss Jiang will not refuse!”

Jiang Ning’s face turned cold. Old Man Fan’s appearance was beyond her expectations.

“You join me in taking down Qing Shan Martial Academy! After that, I’ll leave it to you to manage, and you’ll be the master of the estate!” Seeing the unexpected variable, Jiang Ning reacted quickly and immediately offered a deal.

If she could win over Old Man Fan at this moment, then four against one, their chances of winning would increase significantly!

“Heh…” Old Man Fan sneered, speaking in a tone opposite to his usual cheerful one, sarcastically saying, “I’m afraid Miss Jiang doesn’t know how hard and tiring it is to manage an estate, and how low the returns are!”

“Twenty years ago, Ghostly Manor only had to hand over seventy percent of its profits!”

“Forty years ago, Ghostly Manor only had to hand over fifty percent of its profits!”

“Now, it’s ninety percent!”

“Ninety percent! We work hard all year round, many people die on missions, and you take most of the rewards!”

Old Man Fan’s tone grew colder and colder as he continued, “Many years ago, this old man still had companions in the accounting room, working hard for many years!”

“Just because they wanted to optimize the manor’s personnel, they made him do business.”

“He had never been an assassin, and within half a year, there was no news of him! I don’t know where he died in some corner of the Jianghu!”

Hearing Old Man Fan say this, Jiang Ning also said angrily, “Our Jiang family raised the quota because you people cooked the books! You embezzled our Jiang family’s money! If we don’t raise the quota, how can we guarantee our money!”

“Forty years ago, an assassin’s mission was five taels of silver. Forty years later, an assassin’s mission is still five taels of silver.”

“What were the prices in the Jianghu forty years ago!”

“What were the prices in the Jianghu twenty years ago!”

“And what are the prices in the Jianghu now!”

“You keep raising the profit margin, but for so many years, the treatment at our Ghostly Manor has never changed! If we don’t cook the books, are we all supposed to starve to death?” Old Man Fan’s voice grew louder and louder!

“Profit! Profit! Profit! All you care about is profit! We are all tools for realizing profit, you never lower your heads to see how we live!”

“Just because you throw a few stinky coins at us, you can treat us like dogs, knead us like mud!”

“This is bullying… too much!!!” In the end, Old Man Fan was furious.

That was what he had wanted to say for decades.

Old Man Fan’s story is purely fictional!
