Chapter 49: Arrogant as such
“Did Chen Chengyi win? I say this match is a draw! Who dares to object?” With that snort, a arrogant voice came from the stands through the sound amplification equipment in the box.
As soon as the voice fell, the stands were filled with boos, ten times louder than the boos before when I used the diversion technique and the thunderous sound had not yet subsided.
At this point, the flames had already gone out, and the smoke rising from the arena made my vision a little blurry. The sudden turn of events made me not in the mood to enjoy the joy of victory, but instead my heart was inexplicably restless. It was because the man in white was standing there, looking nonchalant, smiling, and not making any movements.
“Chen Chengyi, you’d better let me go.” Perhaps he had adapted to the pressure of the four-phase prison, Zhang Han gritted his teeth and almost forced such a sentence out of his throat. He was so arrogant, and now he was oppressed on the arena, so he must be more upset than killing him.
I am not a ruthless person, of course, on the premise that others do not force me too harshly, Zhang Han and I are only fighting a fair fight, and I can’t say I hate him, so when he said this, I really wanted to let him go.
In the midst of the hazy smoke, Zheng Mingyi’s voice came through: “You’d better not let go of my big brother. Enjoy the sense of accomplishment for a while, because it’s too late for you to regret it.”
What does this mean? I frowned, but then I heard an exaggerated sound of ‘breaking the air’, and then a figure suddenly shot out of the box on the grandstand, rolled in the air, and landed firmly on the grandstand, blowing away the smoke for a while.
Is this… light work? Or is this a martial arts movie? I was a bit confused at the time, and I subconsciously wanted to find a ‘wire’ (a steel cable for hanging people) in the air, but was interrupted by an unusually arrogant voice: “Haha, I said it was a draw, and you’re not convinced, right? Now I’ll count to one, who dares to boo? Who dares?”
The voice was almost a roar by the end, and it sounded particularly harsh through the loudspeakers in the ring.
But strangely enough, the boos that had been going on at the scene were actually suppressed by his words, and only a small number of voices continued.
In the smoke, I couldn’t see the face of the person who came, and then I heard a loud sound of ‘exaggeration’. A few seconds later, a scream came from the stands, which was particularly piercing in the quiet venue.
I frowned and turned my head to see a middle-aged man being dragged down from the stands by an old man wearing a yellow Hanfu, with white hair and an exaggerated headdress. Because he was caught off guard, he fell to the ground and screamed.
“I said who dares? You dare? You dare?” The weird old man yelled in an exaggerated manner, and then began to punch and kick the middle-aged man, just like street thugs fighting. In fact, I found that his punches and kicks were not light, but after just a few punches and kicks, the middle-aged man already spat out a mouthful of blood.
You have to know that the physical fitness of cultivators is not comparable to that of ordinary people. To be able to beat a cultivator to the point of vomiting blood shows how heavy his hands and feet are!
A wave of anger rose from the bottom of my heart. What is the point of bullying an innocent person? Does he want the whole world to follow his voice? I have never met such a domineering person, so I almost shouted without thinking: “Stop!”
Hui Gen had already rushed over. He was pure of heart, even more kind than I was, and even hated evil. Obviously, he could not tolerate such a thing.
Looking at Hui Gen’er’s figure, I felt an inexplicable sense of crisis rising in my heart. I always felt that if Hui Gen’er got close to the old man, he would be in great danger. I yelled, “Hui Gen’er, get back here.” As I spoke, I wanted to rush over there.
Hui Gen has always been extremely dependent on me since he was a child, and he almost always does as I say. When I shouted in a hurry, he naturally stopped, but behind me, a very cold, yet somewhat familiar voice rang out: “Chen Chengyi, it’s been a long time since we last saw each other. I never thought you were still alive?”
My heart was pounding, and before I could turn around, the old man with white hair had already dropped the middle-aged man in his hands and glared at me, yelling, “That’s great, really great! I haven’t had time to take your life, but you’re scolding me!” As he spoke, he strode toward me.
At this point, the smoke had already dispersed, and a figure appeared in my eyes. The yellow Hanfu he was wearing was actually a five-clawed dragon robe, and I didn’t recognize the headdress he was wearing. But judging from the glaring brightness, I estimated that he had a catty of gold on his head.
This old man was tall and somewhat ugly, but he had a commanding and frightening sense of anger between his eyebrows. He had a full white beard, with each hair sticking out from his face. He walked towards me in big strides, and I had an inexplicable thought in my mind: “Is this Zhang Fei resurrected? Has he turned white? Has he become an emperor?”
I guess I will never be able to change my nature of being a loner, but it also inexplicably relieved the pressure in my heart.
As the saying goes, “many debts don’t worry you.” I just sighed and turned around. Then I saw an acquaintance I had only met once before, Yan Yi!
He was still dressed in a black Tang suit, and walking next to him were several unfamiliar old guys, followed by Yan Chen Ning, and some other old guys, who were seen at the entrance ceremony.
He walked onto the stage with a cold look on his face, and with a flick of his hand, the pressure that my world-shaking stances had put on Zhang Han was broken.
Because it was forcibly broken, there was naturally a backlash. I couldn’t help but feel a sweet taste in my throat, and I saw a mouthful of blood about to spurt out, but I didn’t want to be weak in front of the enemy. In the end, I was forced to swallow it down, but I still groaned and took a step back.
“The world-shaking step has been taken by you, a little brat. It’s a pity that even a powerful weapon depends on the strength of the user to exert its corresponding power. Your skills are still shallow, and you can barely take a step forward. If your master takes a step, I’m afraid I’ll have to work hard. You can forget about this flowery frame.” Yan Yi’s words were naturally sarcastic and mocking, seemingly admitting, but actually suppressing.
At this time, footsteps sounded behind me. I didn’t know when my friends had also rushed onto the stage and stood behind me. Chengxin brother stepped forward, adjusted his glasses, and said with a spring breeze smile, “Chengyi, yes, you really used a flower frame, but a flower frame made someone fall to the ground. Isn’t this… forget it, I don’t even want to say it.”
It was the genuine article. The man in the white robe often smiled like the spring breeze, but as soon as the genuine article appeared, he was immediately outshined.
Chengxin’s words made me feel great and I couldn’t help laughing, but behind me, a more arrogant laugh sounded, it was Xiao Chengqian: “Su Chengxin, you fox man, what I admire most about you is your mouth.”
Chengxin brother glared back, and we all laughed heartily. In the midst of the fun and games, we didn’t give these so-called old guys a second thought!
“You little brat, you’re just showing off with your mouth, I’m going to fix you!” At this moment, the roaring sound suddenly sounded again beside us. Before we could react, a yellow voice flew up and swung its fist at Brother Chengxin.
Brother Chengxin is a gentleman, and was obviously startled by this approach. I didn’t have time to react, and I felt a flash of light before my eyes, and then a Shaanxi accent came into my ears in a state of excitement: “You’re talking about a hammer (talking about XX, swearing).”
Then, I felt a gust of wind in my face, followed by a muffled sound. When I reacted, I saw Huigener already swinging his fist, punching towards the fist of the old man in yellow robes. In the blink of an eye, their fists collided.
It seemed like their fists had been locked for a long time, but in fact it was only a split second. Hui Gen suddenly let out a cry of “Wow!” and then a jet of acid shot out, causing him to take ten or so steps back. If Tao Bai hadn’t pulled him back in time, he would have fallen off the platform.
The old man, however, remained completely still and snorted, “You have some martial arts background, but you dare to be arrogant in front of me?”
On the other side, Tao Bai’s voice was still shy: “Huigen, I’ll do it. Maybe it will work.”
But on this side, the old man had already taken a step forward and shouted, “I say this match is a draw. Are you satisfied?”
Huh… I lowered my head slightly, already on the verge of a rage, and Brother Chengxin once again adjusted his glasses, squinting his eyes. As for the sound of breathing behind me, it already represented everyone’s emotions.
After a second of silence, I looked up, took a deep breath, and looked at the top of the venue and muttered, “Master, I’m sorry. Under normal circumstances, you don’t let me swear, but under unusual circumstances, you often tell me to curse him to death. Today’s situation is unusual.”
After whispering this sentence, I looked down at the old man and then spoke softly, suddenly shouting loudly: “I’m going to beat the shit out of you! Fuck, you idiot!”
