Chapter 69

Bandit? Ha ha! I was a bandit to begin with! So what! Wang Cheng sneered at me, with an expression as if he were looking at a child.

How long has it been! In less than an hour, this old bandit Wang Cheng had already kidnapped Zhao Qian and Zhao He. Does he still want to be a mountain king in this era!

It's no wonder he's a bandit by nature; the things he does are all life-threatening.

I was furious. I thought he was old, and the things he did in the past had almost been forgotten, and he might still have some moral底线. But he didn't play by the rules at all. If I didn't get angry with him, I'd be too good-natured, right?

Wang Cheng! How old are you! What are you doing with a young guy like me? You want to take down two for one! What kind of logic is that? Lin Feiyu cursed, immediately supporting me. He is a court police officer, and he originally wanted to rely on his identity to persuade this old man, but he never expected that after all his persuasion, Wang Cheng had already secretly planned this.

You damn Lin Feiyu! I advise you not to meddle! So what if you're an official? How old is my son? The two kids from the Zhao family combined aren't even as old as him! Dying two is cheap for the Zhao family! I'm already half in the coffin, and they made my son die. I'll use my remaining life to make them have no descendants! Two for two! I'm still at a loss! Wang Cheng's face turned red, not giving Lin Feiyu any face at all.

Wang Cheng! Do you really want to fight? Master Hai's brows furrowed terribly. This is equivalent to declaring war. Whether we accept it or not, it's clear that it's two for two.

Fight! Why not fight! Wang Cheng took out the bloody whip.

More fun! Don't regret it! Master Hai gritted his teeth, and seeing my expression, he felt reassured. However, he still picked up his backpack from the chair and put it on his back, ready for the fight.

Master is here to support me.

Brother Li, I won't participate in this fight. I have some things at home. If there's anything important, just call me. I fully agree with what you said. Kong De saw the situation was not good, took out his phone, and without showing whether it was a text or a call, immediately prepared to leave.

Joking, with Wang Cheng, the old bandit involved, it's a matter of life and death. The Kong family barely got a spot among the four major mystical families of the Zhao family. Getting involved for no reason would be asking for death.

If you want to fight, go ahead, Brother Li. I won't participate in this. My grandson Dafei still has a ghost in his stomach. I have no interest in fooling around with them. Let them do as they please! Zhang Yufang was even more direct, turning around with a cold laugh, clearly indicating it was none of her business.

The family heads, sit down! Li Ruizhong's face changed drastically, sitting there with his hands tightly clasped together, not knowing what he was thinking.

Kong De was stunned, and Zhang Yufang frowned, but intimidated by Li Ruizhong's presence, they didn't dare to leave, standing up and then sitting down again.

Close the door! You guys go out. Yao Long glanced at Master Hai.

The words "family heads, sit down" seemed to anger Master Hai. With a nod, Yao Long issued the order to leave, making the aunts and waiters leave the teahouse. He closed the door and turned off the lights.

In the dim light, the tables and chairs seemed weightless, easily pushed aside by Yao Long's strong hands. Sunflower seeds and peanuts scattered on the ground, but the space was now clear.

I couldn't help but marvel at his strength.

If we were to go by numbers, Master Hai, Lin Feiyu, Liu Fangyuan, and I would have a sure win. Unfortunately, Wang Cheng had no intention of fighting multiple opponents. He called me out specifically to use me as a sacrifice. Moreover, Li Ruizhong, with his calm demeanor, had clearly made Kong De and Zhang Yufang follow his lead as the head of the family, without any resistance.

None of you interfere. The lives of the two Zhao kids are in my hands. I, Wang Cheng, want to tell the young Xia today the consequences of meddling! If you can't win me, it's a matter of two lives. Wang Cheng flicked his wrist, and the whip cracked.

Dealing with an old man in his seventies or eighties isn't much of a skill, but who is Wang Cheng? He looks more vigorous than a man in his thirties or forties. I didn't dare to be careless, and the ghost whip is very powerful, capable of easily subduing even a fierce ghost.

Xijun! Come out. I touched the soul jars in my pockets and decided to call out Xijun first. This wasn't because I underestimated Wang Cheng, but because Xijun is better suited for close combat, while Song Wanyi is better at long-range attacks. In such a confined space, she wouldn't be as effective, so I planned to see how the situation developed. Moreover, with Li Ruizhong and Zhang Yufang present, I didn't want to reveal too much of my strength.

As soon as Xijun appeared, her fish-scale teeth bared to her ears, her shoulder-length hair stood on end, her pitch-black eyes glowing with a red aura. Her hands hung naturally, staring intently at Wang Cheng. A heavy aura of yin spread around her, and the red palace dress fluttered in the yin wind. Anyone could see that this fierce ghost was ready for battle!

Liu Fangyuan and Yao Long, seeing this young man call out such a fierce ghost, both drew in a sharp breath.

Wang Cheng had anticipated this, so he extended his whip, taking a beautiful stance. In his bandit days, he was known for his whip skills, and he had seen Xijun, whom I had raised, during the peaceful times. He had a plan to deal with her. The whip had been soaked in the blood of three black dogs the night before, and a single strike could subdue even the most powerful ghost! If he hadn't made any preparations, he wouldn't have dared to challenge me.

Crack!

The whip instantly struck near Xijun, leaving a bloody mark. However, Xijun vanished from her spot, moving as fast as lightning. She had consumed the essence blood from my ghost-raising techniques and was already extremely agitated. As soon as she entered the battle, she bared her fangs and claws, showing no mercy.

Wang Cheng frowned, not expecting Xijun to dodge so easily.

Li Ruizhong's expression also changed, and Zhang Yufang and Kong De didn't look much better.

Only Master Hai showed a sinister smile, knowing that Wang Cheng was about to suffer a significant loss from Xijun. He was curious why, after just two days, I had restored Xijun to such a peak condition.

Xijun quickly dashed forward, reaching Wang Cheng in an instant. She clawed at him, but Wang Cheng slipped, narrowly avoiding her. He immediately scattered a pile of white ash and swung his whip wildly to protect himself.

The sound of the whip and white ash crackled around us, and we all backed away. Xijun, however, paid no attention to the whip or the ash, constantly moving and attacking.

In a few moments, she found an opening and pounced on Wang Cheng, opening her blood-red mouth to bite off his head!

Stop! Li Ruizhong lightly shouted, his fingers forming a seal. A talisman appeared on his fingertips, and he recited a spell. A fierce aura stirred in my yin-yang eyes, and the talisman instantly burned, emitting a blue light that shot toward Xijun!

Sizzle! The blue light almost grazed Xijun's body, but she had already appeared by my side, her fangs gleaming white, and she turned her head to glare at Li Ruizhong, clearly displeased with his actions.

I frowned, feeling very angry at this old fox's tactics.

At the time, Wang Cheng had to fight for his life against the fierce ghost controlled by Wu Zhenghua. How much more so now that Xijun's strength had been significantly enhanced. The battle was almost a foregone conclusion.

However, Li Ruizhong's sneak attack with the talisman made me very unhappy. Xijun had sensed it and dodged, but what if she hadn't?

Li Ruizhong, what do you mean? We agreed to fight individually. Do you want to interfere? Master Hai was unhappy, glaring at Li Ruizhong.

Brother Hai, didn't you see? Li Ruizhong's expression was also unpleasant.

You're having too much fun! I just saw my junior brother win! And you want to attack his ghost! Don't forget, I've already repaid my debt to you. If you really try to harm my junior brother, don't blame me for not considering our long friendship! Master Hai's face turned red with anger.

Brother Hai, everyone is fine now. You've shown your power. What more do you want? Li Ruizhong, seeing Master Hai's persistence, also got angry.

Brother Hai, Brother Li, isn't this to prevent the ghost from hurting Wang Cheng? Why argue now? Let's discuss how to resolve this! Zhang Yufang said, looking at Wang Cheng, who was about to stand up.

Not bad for a descendant of Zhou Xian. I admit defeat today. I'll let the young Xia go, but the Zhao girl can live, and the boy must die! No one can change this! Wang Cheng got up, took out his phone, and made a call.

Wang Cheng, if Zhao He dies, you'll be buried with him. I said coldly, having no respect left for this old bandit.

Li Ruizhong and Zhang Yufang frowned, looking at me as if I were a fool. To them, I was just a young man, Master Hai's junior brother, but to challenge a family like this was foolish.

I didn't care what they thought, took out my phone, and saw it was Lei Qing calling. My heart pounded, fearing something had happened, and I immediately called back: How's the situation?

Brother Tian, why didn't you answer my call earlier? Zhao He and Zhao Qian were captured by the Wang family, but my subordinates told me immediately. I've already called Captain Huo, and the police have arrived in large numbers. Wang Dong has been taken to the police car, and Zhao He and Zhao Qian should have been rescued. Lei Qing replied.

Good job, this time I really owe you. I breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Lei Qing, I wouldn't know how to rescue them. After hanging up, I told Master Hai and the others to ease their worries: Zhao Qian and Zhao He have been rescued.

Really? That's great! You had a backup plan! Master Hai patted my shoulder. Zhao He and Zhao Qian were his familiar juniors, and it was good that they were safe.

Lin Feiyu, Liu Fangyuan, and Yao Long were also very happy to hear that the situation had been resolved.

However, just as we were about to celebrate, the phone rang. It was Zhao Xi? Why would he suddenly call me?

Wang Cheng saw me hesitate and didn't dare to answer the call. He laughed, a happy laugh, looking at us one by one, just like Li Ruizhong and Zhang Yufang had looked at me earlier: Ha ha ha, Brother Hai, Little Lin, Young Xia, you underestimate me, Wang Cheng. Do you think I called to let someone go? After so many years in the underworld, if I really decide to act, would I hold back? The moment I caught them, I gave the order to beat the Zhao boy to death!

My mind buzzed. Zhao He is dead? The young man who said he would bring good wine to share with me tonight is gone?
