Chapter 133 - 57 The Rightest Thing I've Ever Done in My Life

In the inner courtyard, Li Linfeng's voice was sonorous and powerful, deafening.

With Shen Qing's clean and swift move, a surge of immense pride reignited in his chest, and the expression of pride on his face was completely unchecked.

At this moment, he felt that the best decision he had ever made in his life was not to reject Shen Qing on that day due to his background, his foundation, or any of his shortcomings.

Instead, he graciously gave him the opportunity to practice martial arts.

After taking him into the sect, he did not neglect Shen Qing, treating him equally even when the sect faced challenges.

Moreover, he personally decided to accept him as a direct disciple, even considering marrying his daughter to him...

It was precisely because of these past benevolence that today they reaped the rewards.

If at that time he had been slightly more discerning and overlooked Shen Qing, perhaps today Linfeng Hall would have been utterly defeated under the challenge from the Mi Gang.

Li Linfeng wanted to retort the previous ridicule from Sun Tiangai, but unexpectedly, he felt a moment of dizziness and his body wobbled slightly.

Ouyang Tiezhu, standing behind him, noticed Li Linfeng's unsteadiness with a sharp eye and quickly stepped forward to support Li Linfeng from the back subtly, preventing him from embarrassing himself in front of everyone again.

Li Linfeng threw a grateful glance at Ouyang Tiezhu, concealing his expression, and therefore ceased speaking further.

Standing behind Li Linfeng, Li Lingchan bit her lips gently, her gaze towards Shen Qing turning extraordinarily complex, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

In contrast to the satisfaction and joy on the Linfeng Hall's side, the members of the Mi Gang were all wearing grim expressions.

Especially Sun Tiangai, the Boss of Mi Gang, whose face was marvelous to behold.

They had almost crushed Linfeng Hall completely, but suddenly the situation reversed dramatically.

He watched helplessly as his proud disciple was killed with just one move, with their momentum even suppressed beneath him.

At this moment, he sat in the Taishi Chair, his face appeared pale and twisted in the shadows, his eyes flickering with indescribable anger and pain, his body trembling slightly, fists tightly clenched with whitened knuckles due to the force.

Shen Qing scanned the members of the Mi Gang, slowly focusing his gaze on Sun Tiangai.

"I presume this must be Sun Tiangai, the leader of the Mi Gang. I am Shen Qing. Greetings to Sun Gang Leader. I heard that there is a bit of misunderstanding between Sun Gang Leader and my master. Could we possibly settle this matter today for the sake of this junior?" Shen Qing spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Sun Tiangai thought that Shen Qing feared their numbers and didn't dare to be too presumptuous, thus deciding to back down when the situation was favorable. His anger slightly diminished.

However, seeing that Shen Qing, a junior, was so audacious, a deep discontent surged in his heart, transforming into waves of resentment, replacing the accumulated anger within.

"Settle? I wonder how this young nephew intends to settle this matter?" Sun Tiangai said in a cold voice.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "It is quite simple. Sun Gang Leader shall compensate Linfeng Hall with five thousand taels for emotional distress and promise that we will not interfere with each other's domains in the future. Then, this matter can be concluded."

"You mean to say, you killed my men and now want me to compensate you?" Sun Tiangai felt as if he had suffered a great humiliation and stood up to stare straight at Shen Qing, saying, "This doesn't seem reasonable, does it?"

Shen Qing smiled and said, "The fact that I can defeat you is the reason. What does Sun Gang Leader think? You 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 that very moment, they all realized that the outstandingly attractive man before them was not as harmless and courteous as he appeared; underneath lay a fierceness.

The shaky and crumbling image of Linfeng Hall was instantly pulled back and even elevated somewhat by him.

"Such arrogance. Do you think defeating Meng De proves anything? Before you, he had already defeated your master and several of your senior brothers, consuming a lot of his energy. You merely took advantage of his weariness."

It was Jing Yuanzhong, a martial master of the Bone Refining Realm from the Mi Gang, who spoke.

He had seen it clearly earlier.

The strike that Shen Qing used was swift as the wind and extraordinarily powerful.

When it landed on Meng De's back, the Qi Force erupted with even a scorching sensation mixed in.

Such power consumed a tremendous amount of strength, and the Wind Defying Finger was a martial arts technique known for speed, which was quite average in terms of defense and stamina.

He was certain that this man before him was not as strong as imagined, and he was merely putting on a facade.

Thinking of this, Jing Yuanzhong gained some confidence and said without hesitation, "I am Jing Yuanzhong from the Mi Gang. I would like to learn a thing or two from this young brother."

Shen Qing cast a glance at Jing Yuanzhong, who had already stepped forward, and with a smile at the corner of his mouth, pointed to the two beside him, saying, "Why not come at me all at once, to save some trouble."

Hearing this, Jing Yuanzhong's heart skipped a beat.

He realized this disciple of Linfeng Hall was not feigning, and suddenly a slight desire to retreat sprouted in his heart.

"Then, it's better to obey than to be courteous!"

The named member of the Mi Gang showed no fear, took a deep breath, and stepped forward, throwing a direct and fierce punch without any flashy techniques.

Immediately after him, another member of the Mi Gang also threw a punch.

These people were all at the Bone Refining Realm, their whole bodies' punch power fierce and vigorous.

Both their muscles seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rapidly tensing, with green veins protruding on their skin, like slumbering dragons moving across their exterior.

Shen Qing lightly slid a foot forward, adopting a ready posture.

He infused this opening move with some Bagua Yin Yang steps, giving it an elegant, profound look.

He exhaled lightly, gathering all his strength at his fingertips.

The next moment, Shen Qing's form flashed into a shadow, the Wind Defying Finger arrived ahead of time, mixed with crimson flames, and precisely aimed at the armpit of the closest attacking member.

"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed as the charging member's body seemed like it had been pierced, his chest's lungs scorched into cooked meat by the fiery force.

The entire person flailed like a broken kite, sketching a parabola in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

He clutched his throat in desperation, his face flushed, unable to draw breath, finally suffocating to death.

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

He also struck with both fists, replicating the same punching style as the first.

However, his punch was slightly steadier, showing a more solid foundation.

Shen Qing's eyes were sharp as he laughed nonchalantly without any superfluous actions. His figure shifted, a powerful Qi Force erupted from within him, dual fingers lashing out like a storm towards his opponent.

His opponent's complexion slightly changed, evidently not expecting Shen Qing to have such formidable Inner Strength.

He was about to swing his fists again when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck.

A muffled explosion reverberated.

His vision blurred, and his head involuntarily flew off.

The scene fell into dead silence.

Shen Qing's eyes shifted, fixing on Jing Yuanzhong, and he smiled eerily, "It's your turn!"

"Ah!" Jing Yuanzhong was terrified out of his wits in an instant.

Was this any sign of exhaustion?

It was a complete misjudgment on his part.

Intense fear engulfed his whole body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

The Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, could no longer bear it and shouted, "Enough! I will pay!"
