Chapter 83 (1/2)
Chapter 83 - Wind and Rain
Just as Xiang Yang and the rest were going out to play, Liu Sheng, who was missing an arm, sat in a pavilion in the garden in's private villa.
Ma Yunnong really knew how to enjoy life. After he took down the mountains and rivers of the Cyan Horse Guild, he built a manor in this treasured location, it was similar to the vacation home of the ancient emperor.
The villa was made of the most primitive material, without any pollution. Moreover, it was a first-rate greening, and there were also several gardens, in which flowers and plants bloomed year round. Walking inside the villa, one could always smell the alluring fragrance from the garden.
In the center of the garden was a small pavilion, which was the usual place for drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.
Liu Sheng sat in the pavilion, the white jade-like marble floor, the pavilion's pavilion, the dragon and phoenix carving, they were all the most n.o.ble pleasures. Seeing the hundred flowers blooming in front of him, Liu Sheng did not have the slightest mood to enjoy it.
He held a teacup in his remaining hand, and his expression kept changing. At times, he revealed a hideous expression, at times, he was angry, and at times, he was helpless … The expression on Liu Sheng's face right now was simply a face-changing machine. In the blink of an eye, he had changed his face countless of times, which was even better than the face-changing characters in the dramas.
”Mr. Liu! I heard you were hurt. Are you okay? ” At this time, Ma Yunnong walked over with a pale expression. When he saw that Liu Sheng was missing an arm, his eyes revealed panic.
All these years, in order to win over Liu Sheng, Ma Yunnong had always been acting in front of him, and practically not a single word of it was true.
Liu Sheng was the number one trump card under Ma Yunnong's command, and also his foundation. Back then, the reason Ma Yunnong was able to dominate Cyan Horse Guild, and that was greatly related to his strength. If something were to happen to Liu Sheng, his forces would be in danger as well.
Liu Sheng glanced at Ma Yunnong, leisurely drank a mouthful of tea, and coldly said: ”He still won't die, he's only missing an arm.”
”Pah …” Ma Yunnong suddenly raised his hand and slapped his own face. The force of the slap was great, and his face immediately swelled up, as if he did not feel pain at all. With a guilty look on his face, he said, ”It's all my fault, if I did not ask Sir to deal with them, you would not have been injured.”
Seeing Ma Yunnong's face swell up, Liu Sheng's eyes flashed, and said without any expression, ”This matter has nothing to do with you, I was careless and got ambushed, that's why I got injured, you don't have to blame yourself.”
”It's all my fault. I didn't investigate the situation of the Imperial Palace thoroughly, I didn't expect that other than Xiang Feng, there was another expert in the Imperial Palace.” Ma Yunnong said with regret.
”Expert, chi …” ”What kind of experts are they? Xiang Feng's cultivation has reached the peak of the upbringing, it's not bad, but if he doesn't enter the Innate, he's still an ant after all. I can kill him instantly, and as for the other brat, he's just a cultivator who hasn't even reached the peak of the upbringing yet.
When he thought about how he was plotted against by a kid who was countless times weaker than himself and had to cut off an arm in order to live, Liu Sheng felt a surge of fury. He really hated Xiang Yang so much that his hatred for him couldn't be cleansed even with the ocean's water.
If possible, Liu Sheng would definitely capture Xiang Yang and use all the methods of the devils to torture Xiang Yang. He would make Xiang Yang experience the most brutal torture in the world, and use Xiang Yang's blood to wash away his hatred.
However, Liu Sheng now did not dare to move, because after cutting off one of his arms, his vitality had been greatly damaged. Although his cultivation was still barely at Innate Stage, his current body's condition was extremely weak.
Therefore, after being heavily injured by Xiang Yang, he no longer dared to attack again. Even though he still felt that he could completely crush both Xiang Yang and Xiang Feng, he still didn't dare to return to face the both of them.
”They actually dared to hurt Mister, this is too much. I will start all the gangs and blow up Imperial Palace.” Ma Yunnong's face revealed an expression of anger, as if the one that was heavily injured was not Liu Sheng, but his father.
”Blasting up Imperial Palace, that's a pretty good idea. Go on.” Liu Sheng naturally knew that Ma Yunnong was putting on an act for him, but he was actually moved by Ma Yunnong's suggestion. That's right, Xiang Feng and Xiang Yang must be injured inside the Imperial Palace as well, if the entire Imperial Palace was blown up with explosives, the two people's bodies would definitely be smashed into smithereens.
Although he couldn't use any means to torture Xiang Yang and Xiang Feng, being able to destroy two of his enemies was pretty good too.
Liu Sheng had been in the city for more than twenty years, so he was very familiar with the power of modern weapons. Although ordinary rifle bullets could not deal with experts, but explosives were fine, especially those high-energy bombs that had been developed recently, even as a Innate Expert, he was afraid.
”Cough, cough …” ”Sir, you see, this matter still needs to be considered over a long period of time.” Ma Yunnong was shocked, he had been bragging too much, why did this master change his gender today, in the past, it was disdainful to use modern weapons, why did he want to use explosives against Imperial Palace today?
Ma Yunnong wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said awkwardly, ”Blasting the Imperial Palace is too much of an influence, if we were to find out, your strength is not something that the heavens would be afraid of, but I am done for. However, we can find a chance to find out where they were hiding and send people to bomb them. As long as they aren't in the city center and their influence isn't too great, it doesn't matter. ”
Even though he said that, in Ma Yunnong's heart, he was extremely contemptuous of Liu Sheng. This fellow was also known as a braggart, normally speaking like he was peerless in the world, but after actually meeting an expert, his arms were actually chopped off by someone. He was still thinking of using explosives, that was really a brute's brain, if he was targeted, even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough.
”I knew you wouldn't dare.” Liu Sheng let out a cold laugh, as he looked at Ma Yunnong with disdain, ”There's no need for you to do anything, I've already called my sect's people over. They should arrive before long.”
Liu Sheng was very afraid of death, so after he was injured, he immediately used a secret technique to contact his sect and get his big brother to come and protect him.
When he thought about how he had to let his big brother see the miserable state of his broken arm, Liu Sheng felt a wave of helplessness and fear. If possible, he didn't want anyone from his sect to see him at his weakest, even if the other party was his blood-related big brother.
”Disciple Zhang Jianyi greets Martial Uncle.”
”Disciple w.a.n.g Min greets Martial Uncle.”
Just as Liu Sheng finished speaking, two voices descended from the sky, following that, a man and a woman appeared in front of Liu Sheng.
”Why is it only the two of you? Where's my big brother? ” Liu Sheng looked at the two, his eyes revealing a dissatisfied look.
All these years, he had used the Cyan Horse Guild to send countless boys and girls back to help his big brother cultivate. Now, when something happened, he actually only sent two disciples over.
”Returning to Martial Uncle, because Master is currently at the critical point of his breakthrough, he couldn't afford to be distracted, so he sent his disciple over. However, Martial Uncle doesn't need to worry, I will definitely complete Martial Uncle's mission with all my strength.” The young man named Zhang Jianyi cupped his fists. When he replied, a black True Qi flashed past his body, showing that his strength had reached Innate Stage.
”You actually broke through to the Innate Stage?” Liu Sheng, who had originally been suspicious of the strength of the two Junior Masters, suddenly changed his expression when he saw the black True Qi that had flashed on Zhang Jianyi's body.
”Not only disciple, Junior Sister has also reached Innate Stage.” An undetectable sneer flashed across Zhang Jianyi's eyes. He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this Martial Uncle who had cultivated for more than a few decades but was still at the early stage of the Innate and had his arm cut off in the mortal world, if the person in front of him wasn't his master's blood brother.
