Chapter 512 - 276: Return (3)
But the price was extremely high—the ring and index fingers on his right hand were broken!
Zhou Zhendong’s face was pale, his expression incredibly grim. With two broken fingers, how could he possibly wield a blade? His mind in turmoil, he didn’t respond to anything Li Mingxin said.
However, Cheng Zongwen stepped forward to stand beside Zhou Zhendong. He faced Li Mingxin and said calmly,
"Whether or not the Cheng Family can survive is none of your concern. If you insist on being so discourteous, I don’t mind using another one to kill you! The worst that can happen is my Cheng Family leaves Jade Peak County!"
"There’s more?" Li Mingxin’s gaze turned fiery as he immediately focused on the key point. Staring at Cheng Zongwen, he demanded, "It’s on you? Hand it over!"
With that, he reached for Cheng Zongwen.
SMACK! Chen Kaishan tried to block him again, but was intercepted by Li Tonghua from the side. At the same time, Li Tonghua looked at the two Fourth Grade Martial Artists and warned, "You two had better just watch and not interfere. Otherwise, you’ll be hunted by the Li Family!"
As soon as he said this, the two Fourth Grade Martial Artists, who had no idea what was going on, immediately abandoned any thought of helping.
A warrant from the Royal Family was no different from a kill order issued by the Seven Kingdoms.
Countless bounty hunters would be after them, and they’d rather live a few more years.
Chen Kaishan looked at Li Mingxin and said in a grave voice, "Can’t we talk about this calmly?"
Li Mingxin gripped Cheng Zongwen’s shoulder and looked at Chen Kaishan. "If you interfere again, I won’t hold back. I may be a Sixth Grade, but your Fifth Grade Cultivation is nothing to me!"
This matter truly made it impossible for him to remain calm.
For hundreds of years, countless people had dreamed of this, and now it had seemingly appeared right before his eyes. How could he possibly remain composed?
"Fine, then! Let me see the Li Family’s Li Xin Sword Manual for myself!" Chen Kaishan was not the least bit afraid.
The might of the Li Family meant nothing when something like this was at stake!
However, the one who moved to face Chen Kaishan was Li Tonghua. He also had a Sixth Grade Cultivation, but thanks to a Secret Technique of the Li Family, fighting above his grade was no issue for him.
Li Mingxin looked at Cheng Zongwen. "Come to think of it, you’re a member of the Cheng Family, so you should know the most. Give me the item, explain the whole story, and I can let everything that happened today slide!"
Cheng Zongwen chuckled. "You want to know? Easy. Just go find my big brother. If you beg him, and if he’s in a good mood, he might tell you a little something."
"You..."
"Looking for me?"
Suddenly, a voice echoed from high in the sky, catching the rest of Li Mingxin’s words in his throat.
Everyone was startled and looked around in all directions.
The next second, everyone saw a vessel resembling a small sampan materialize bizarrely in the sky and then descend rapidly.
Finally, as everyone stared, dumbfounded, two figures stepped off the Flying Shuttle.
"Big brother!!" Seeing that it was his older cousin who had returned, Cheng Zongwen’s face lit up with excitement. He instantly broke free from Li Mingxin’s grip and ran over.
"Cousin!" Seeing Cheng Zongyang return, Zhou Zhendong also had an excited look on his face.
"Boss!!!"
Li Lu and Li Xuejin, hearts pounding with excitement, clasped their fists in salute.
Cheng Zongyang’s gaze swept over everyone, and he gave a slight nod. But before Chen Kaishan, Li Mingxin, or any of the others could speak, Cheng Zongyang said to Li Cungang beside him:
"Detain everyone here. Don’t let them leave for two hours. I’m going to set up an Array. Li Lu, mobilize all our forces and have them stand by. Prepare to maintain order throughout Jade Peak County."
"Understood." Li Cungang nodded.
"Yes, Boss!" Li Lu replied excitedly and quickly departed.
Cheng Zongyang, however, reboarded the Flying Cloud Shuttle and vanished in an instant.
