Chapter 68: Chapter 68 I want 1 billion!

Su Shuolei swallowed hard and ran back to his room in a panic, "Senior Zheng, Liu... Liu Hualong has come!"

Zheng Kaiyuan’s gaze sharpened as he stood up, "I will go and meet him."

A group of disciples followed Zheng Kaiyuan out.

Chen Fan had originally planned to leave, but out of curiosity for a master of Inner Strength, he also followed.

Liu Hualong stood proudly in the center of the hall.

At the entrance, there were many people who had come to see what the commotion was about.

Zheng Kaiyuan, followed by his disciples, walked up to Liu Hualong.

Su Shuolei followed nervously by Zheng Kaiyuan’s side.

Liu Hualong scanned the crowd and asked, "Which one is Su Shuolei?"

Su Shuolei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pointed at Zheng Kaiyuan, "It’s... it’s me, but your opponent today is this Senior Zheng Kaiyuan!"

Liu Hualong stared at Zheng Kaiyuan and sneered, "Do you think that by finding a helper, you can escape this disaster?"

Su Shuolei said stiffly, "Don’t get cocky here. Senior Zheng is the foremost figure in Martial Arts in our Jiang City! With him here, you won’t lay a finger on me today!"

Liu Hualong burst into laughter, "Jiang City is but a speck of dust, and yet there’s someone who claims to be the number one in Martial Arts. What thick skin you have!"

Zheng Kaiyuan snorted coldly, "Indeed, the Martial Arts Circle of Jiancheng can’t compare to the Provincial City, but this old man has more than enough to deal with you!"

Liu Hualong’s eyes turned cold, "Since you’re so confident, get on the stage then!"

Then he glanced at Su Shuolei, "After I dispose of this old man, I will come for your life!"

After speaking, he leapt and landed on the stage in the center of the hall.

Su Shuolei snorted, "Don’t think we’re afraid of you just because you’re from the Provincial City. Senior Zheng’s reputation over the years isn’t just hot air, you might not be his match!"

Zheng Kaiyuan did not hesitate either and followed by jumping onto the stage.

Since his youth, he had practiced martial arts and reached the threshold of Inner Strength at nearly fifty, similarly achieving the level of Minor Achievement in Inner Strength a few years ago.

Although Liu Hualong was younger than him, he was confident that with his experience, this arrogant junior stood no chance against him.

Zheng Kaiyuan’s disciples were all excited, looking forward to the start of this duel.

It was rare to see masters of Inner Strength, and even for those of exceptional talent, they might never encounter the threshold of Inner Strength in their lifetime.

Therefore, Minor Achievement in Inner Strength was already considered a very powerful level among martial artists.

Such a showdown between two masters naturally raised expectations.

Zheng Kaiyuan’s Qi Force was fully unleashed, and the people present could even feel a hot wave hit them face-on.

Su Shuolei revealed a smile, "Worthy of the title of the foremost figure in Martial Arts in Jiang City. Senior Zheng is truly powerful, to the extent that one can distinctly feel his Qi Force."

Liu Hualong didn’t waste any time, and with a quick step, he charged towards Zheng Kaiyuan.

Zheng Kaiyuan secured his stance and blocked Liu Hualong’s fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two exchanged blows, with their Qi Force colliding, creating bursts of explosive sounds.

Both of them were incredibly fast, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to see their movements with the naked eye.

The railings around the stage soon fell apart due to their fight.

The surface of the stage also developed many large pits.

"This is a battle between masters of Inner Strength, truly terrifying!" Zheng Kaiyuan exclaimed.

Chen Fan, who was watching from the side, squinted his eyes as he observed the two individuals fight, seeing a peculiar force continuously emerging from within their bodies.

This power was somewhat inferior to Spiritual Power, but the Might it contained was still astonishing.

"So this is Inner Strength, huh? Although it’s not as good as Spiritual Power, it’s already a transcendent force. I initially thought Martial Arts was nothing more than moving hands and feet, but it seems I underestimated the Martial Arts Circle."

"The two on the stage are not worth mentioning, but if this Inner Strength is cultivated to a profound level, it should be capable of unleashing terrifying Might."

Chen Fan muttered to himself when he suddenly noticed the subtle smile on Liu Hualong’s face, "Is this man hiding his true strength?"

Zheng Kaiyuan and Liu Hualong exchanged a palm strike, with Qi Force exploding, and both men staggered backward.

The excitement was evident on the faces of Zheng Kaiyuan’s disciples.

"Master is truly formidable. Liu Hualong has exchanged so many moves with him, yet he can’t break through Master’s defense. It seems that today’s battle is definitely Master’s win!"

"The Martial Arts Circle of the Provincial City is nothing special after all. Liu Hualong may have a reputation, but he still can’t defeat our Master!"

...

On the stage.

Liu Hualong’s lips curled into a sly smile as he charged at Zheng Kaiyuan once more, "You old thief, I’ve had enough fun. Watch out for this next move!"

As soon as his words fell, he was already upon Zheng Kaiyuan.

Zheng Kaiyuan hastily defended.

Liu Hualong’s fist landed on his arm.

With Qi Force erupting, Zheng Kaiyuan’s pupils shrank, and his expression changed drastically, "Great Achievement in Internal Strength! You..."

Before he finished speaking, a snapping sound came from Zheng Kaiyuan’s arm, and his whole body was sent flying by Liu Hualong’s Qi Force, sliding across the ground for over ten meters before coming to a halt.

Those disciples who had just been praising Zheng Kaiyuan were dumbstruck.

A few, regaining their composure, hurried over to help Zheng Kaiyuan up.

His arms hung limp, clearly broken.

"He... he hid his real strength, he has already reached the Great Achievement in Internal Strength!" Zheng Kaiyuan’s face was filled with terror, and right after he spoke, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Su Shuolei stood petrified, as if struck by lightning, drenched in cold sweat.

Liu Hualong glanced at Zheng Kaiyuan with a smirk, "I was merely toying with you. Did you actually think you were worthy of being my opponent? With your skills, I could kill you with one hand!"

Zheng Kaiyuan’s face paled, and the horror in his eyes lingered as he spat out another mouthful of blood after a short while.

The gap between minor achievement in Internal Strength and Great Achievement was like a chasm, and Zheng Kaiyuan had no choice but to accept it.

Liu Hualong turned to Su Shuolei, "Your turn is next! Once I kill you, I can go back and collect my reward."

Su Shuolei’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, "Big brother, I beg you, spare my life. Whatever she’s paying you, I’m willing to pay double, no, triple!"

Liu Hualong snorted coldly, "Every line of work has its rules. Even if you offer ten times what someone else does, today I must take your life!"

Su Shuolei was so scared he nearly wet himself.

At that moment, Chen Fan, who had been watching from the side, looked to him and spoke calmly, "I can help you deal with him."

Su Shuolei turned to look at Chen Fan and, clutching at straws, asked hastily, "Chen Fan, are you serious? Can you really take him on?"

Chen Fan nodded, "But if I’m going to take action, you’ll need to pay more."

Su Shuolei nodded eagerly, "It’s a deal, as long as you save my life, I’m willing to pay you the same price as Senior Zheng."

Chen Fan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "No, I want ten billion!"
