Volume 2 Chapter 5 Part2 (2/2)
Behind me!
Behind him, there were only a few people who had been kidnapped just like him, so he hadn't turned to look in that direction this entire time. However, that was also the only place he hadn't looked.
Jiang Ziya immediately turned and scrutinized those people, even Xie Peilun. It was only until he looked at that woman that he abruptly discovered that there seemed to be a layer of mist over her face.
He slightly tilted his head to the right and used his left eye to observe the woman. Then, he immediately shouted as he pointed at her, ”It's you! You're the one maintaining this barrier dimension!”
The woman frantically said, ”No! No, it's not me! I was captured and confined here together with you. Have you forgotten?”
Of course he remembered, but his left eye could discern that this woman's appearance wasn't the same as before. They must have swapped her out when they sealed everyone's mouths back up with tape.
”So you've finally found her?” Fu Taiyi lazily said, ”Humans and their blind spots. All you have to do is turn around and you would discover a new world, yet you just won't look behind you… Oh no, Lu Yang got kicked again. If you don't hurry and dismantle the barrier dimension, I bet that even if the barrier dimension is gone later, little Lu Yang will already have kicked the bucket.”
Jiang Ziya clenched his teeth and rushed toward that woman… who was Zhang Nanzhu, but he couldn't bring himself to punch a girl just like that. At first, he thought to grab her hand, but he hadn't thought that Zhang Nanzhu would be more vicious than he was, turning and giving him a spin kick right in the stomach, almost making him throw up his dinner from the previous night.
Seeing that, Fu Taiyi finally dropped his lazy expression. He had forgotten that Jiang Ziya was just a normal person who had no fighting ability whatsoever, but a pract.i.tioner, even a woman who didn't specialize in fighting, would at least know a few tricks.
Even though he had discovered the weak point of the barrier dimension, Jiang Ziya might not be able to do anything about it. Meanwhile, Lu Yang was losing bit by bit and had no way he could divert his attention to deal with the woman.
Zhang Nanzhu also realized that this brat had no fighting ability at all. She immediately rushed forward and wildly kicked at his stomach and trampled on him.
”Don't you dare hit Gēge!” Xiao Xue abruptly pounced on her, transforming her teeth into fangs, biting Zhang Nanzhu in the neck.
All that could be heard was Zhang Nanzhu's wailing shriek. A huge chunk of flesh between her neck and shoulder went missing. Scarlet blood dripped ceaselessly. Instantly, the barrier dimension collapsed. She was finally unable to maintain it any longer.
At this moment, Lu Yang just happened to be sent flying by the black beast with a kick. His entire body slammed against a cargo container before he collapsed on the ground. There was no part of him that didn't hurt. Even Slay, which had been flying around him, fell to the ground. Although it wanted to fly back up, it couldn't stop falling back onto the ground.
Zhang Dongqi walked over to Lu Yang and sneered, ”To think you guys were able to break the barrier dimension, but can you even stand up anymore?”
Lu Yang had his head lowered. He saw that there was a black hound, one that appeared incomparably vicious, not far from him. A single glance, and any normal person would be so scared that they would give it a wide berth.
But compared to the black beast just now, this hound was practically a Chihuahua.
Even though they were one and the same, barrier dimension or no barrier dimension, and even a gigantic black beast could shrink into a black dog.
Lu Yang, with his head bowed, smirked. He got up suddenly and rushed toward Zhang Dongqi. Even the fallen Slay ”vrmm'd” and pierced toward that hound, its speed even faster than before. And this time, the hound didn't have needle-like fur to hinder Slay. After several exchanges, Slay pierced through the hound's waist, putting an end to it all.
On the other end, Lu Yang couldn't defeat Zhang Dongqi as quickly. They exchanged strikes back and forth, every punch landing on flesh. Even the people to the side winced, feeling like their skin was smarting.
Originally, Zhang Dongqi had thought that he could defeat this Taoist brat using his own martial arts abilities, but unfortunately for him, Lu Yang had always been proud of his physical abilities. He had put in great effort training until now. Even though he had just received a harsh beating, he had actually used most of his strength to protect himself so he wouldn't suffer heavy injuries, waiting for the moment Jiang Ziya destroyed the barrier dimension.
”I'll be d.a.m.ned, your martial arts skills are top notch!” Zhang Dongqi swung his fists and shouted excitedly, ”Let's have a good fight!”
Unfortunately for him, Slay had already returned to its master's side and was currently humming, waiting to be commanded!
Lu Yang gazed at Zhang Dongqi serenely. As mentioned earlier, he was never ever pedantic.
Zhang Dongqi's face twitched. He hadn't thought that this brat really wouldn't have the least bit of a youngster's brashness. He had originally wanted to force Lu Yang to fight him with his fists. Perhaps, he could defeat the brat using his own fists, considering that the brat had already suffered injuries that weren't light. Unfortunately, the brat didn't have the least intention to fight him with his fists!
Even though he was young, his personality and way of handling things was exactly like a seasoned pract.i.tioner.
Could it be… that this brat is that rumored grandson of Master Ah Lu's, a boy who started capturing demons ever since he was ten years old?
Don't tell me that all of the famous people of Zhongxiang City have shown up to fight me? Zhang Dongqi was so furious that he laughed. He could only say that his defeat wasn't unwarranted, but his defeat was infuriating!
”Cough, cough…” Jiang Ziya was hugging his stomach as he walked to Lu Yang's side. He couldn't help reminding Zhang Dongqi, ”If you don't hurry and take that woman to the hospital, she's going to die.”
Zhang Dongqi looked at Jiang Ziya with confliction. Just who is this guy? He was able to make so many people show up to protect him?
As for what had happened today, truthfully speaking, if these people had taken the initiative to approach the Zhang family to negotiate, the matter of Zhang Dongping might have been resolved just like that. Zhang Dongqi wouldn't have had to been overwhelmed by so many people, and he had even lost a demon beast who was already a lie!
The G.o.d of the Eastern Sky, Taiyi, hadn't even interfered!
”I will abide by my promise. Can I leave now?” Zhang Dongqi mostly said this to the G.o.d of the Eastern Sky, Taiyi.
”In a moment. Let me say something first.”
Even though the G.o.d of the Eastern Sky, Taiyi, spoke with a smile, Zhang Dongqi felt his heart shake.
He slowly said, ”I do not know when Zhongxiang City turned into the Zhang family's territory. First, it was your cousin. Then, it was you. Each and every time, you came to disturb someone under my protection.”
Hearing ”someone under my protection,” Jiang Ziya's heart skipped a beat, filled with pain. Ever since he was young and his mother died while his father left the house for years on end, there were few who protected him and his sister.
”It's true that Qing Wei Gong's Master Ah Lu doesn't look after his grandson much, but if the Zhang family wishes to use their 'family' to threaten his grandson, then I believe that Qing Wei Gong won't let their only successor clash against your entire family all by himself.”
…I guessed right. The corner of Zhang Dongqi's mouth gave a spasm. He hated that his cousin hadn't left behind even a single piece of his corpse.
”Try it again,” the G.o.d of the Eastern Sky, Taiyi, smiled as he said, ”and I will seek all of you out the next time.”
