Chapter - 394 Both Sabre And Sword Became Missing And the Person Turned Fugitive (12) (2/2)
From the back of the hall came four beggars with unsheathed weapons in their hands, dragging a man whose hands were tied behind his back. Zhang Wuji saw that he was a young man in his early twenties; his face looked very familiar. He remembered he had seen this man during the Ming Cult great assembly on the Butterfly Valley, but he did not remember that man's name. That man looked furious; when he walked passed Chen Youliang, he suddenly spat on his face. Chen Youliang quickly dodged while striking that man's cheek with the back of his palm, causing that man's cheek to immediately swell.
The beggar behind him pushed him down and shouted, ”Kneel down and kowtow in Bangzhu's presence!”
That man coughed and spat thick spittle toward Shi Huolong's face.
The distance between that man and Shi Huolong was very close, to begin with, plus, he spat with all his might. Although Shi Huolong hastily ducked, he was not able to evade. 'Splat!' the spittle landed on his forehead.
Chen Youliang's leg swept away and kicked that man down, while he blocked in front of Shi Huolong. Pointing his finger to him, Chen Youliang barked, ”Daring crazy disciple! Are you bored of your life?”
That man shot back, ”Since I have fallen into your hand, your master does not hope to go home alive!”
As Chen Youliang blocked, Shi Huolong had the opportunity to wipe the spittle from his forehead. Chen Youliang moved two steps backward and said, ”Reporting to Bangzhu: this fellow is a top ranking expert within the Devil Cult; his martial art skill level appears to be above the four Protector Kings. We must not look down on him.”
Listening to him, Zhang Wuji was astonished, but he immediately understood; Chen Youliang was deliberately exaggerating that man's martial art to give face to his Clan Leader. Shi Huolong was the Clan Leader of the Beggar Clan, but surprisingly he was not able to evade this spittle attack, which was highly unlikely. Furthermore, after receiving such insult, his face did not show any indignation, but he appeared to be somewhat frightened and was at a loss.
”Chen Xiongsi,” Zhi Fa Zhanglao asked, ”Who is this man?”
”His name is Han Lin'er,” Chen Youliang replied, ”The son of Han Shantong.”
Zhang Wuji nodded his head silently, ”That's right. During the general assembly in the Butterfly Valley, he was always following his father around and did not speak to me at all, no wonder I did not remember his name.”
”Ah,” Zhi Fa Zhanglao was delighted, ”He is Han Shantong's son. Chen Xiongdi, your contribution is even greater. Reporting to Bangzhu: for the past several years, Han Shantong has repeatedly defeated the Yuan army, establishing for himself a great fame for his military prowess. The generals under his command, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and the others, are all important leaders within the Devil Cult. By capturing this fellow, we can use him as hostage, so that we won't have to worry about Han Shantong not listening to our Clan.”
Han Lin'er opened his mouth in swearing and cursing, ”In your mother's dream! What kind of hero is my Father? How could he submit to your shameless coercing? My Father only listen to Zhang Jiaozhu's order. Your Beggar Clan wants to contend for supremacy against my Ming Cult? You are overestimating your own capabilities too much! Your stinky Beggar Clan Bangzhu is not even fit to carry our Zhang Jiaozhu.”
