Chapter 5

Lady Lanyang and the others came to their senses, their faces changing drastically as they tried to pull Zhou Ze back. However, by the time they reacted, Wei Chi Yong had already swung his fist at Zhou Ze.

Wei Chi Yong had come with the resolve to die, and he naturally wouldn't miss this fleeting opportunity. He knew very well why he was here, and seeing Zhou Ze actually stand up, he launched a domineering and ruthless attack directly at Zhou Ze's chest.

"Zhou Ze!" Lady Lanyang's face changed drastically. She knew her son well; he was skilled in the arts of romance and pleasure, but had he ever practiced cultivation? A martial artist at the Gathering Qi stage, one punch could shatter his ribs.

Lady Lanyang was furious. The brat was still as arrogant as before. Don't you understand the situation? Yesterday, you slapped Zhou Mie in front of so many people. This is his order to come and reclaim his dignity. With Zhou Mie's character, how could he be satisfied unless you were bedridden for months?

Prince Anhe squinted his eyes. When Zhou Ze stood up, he laughed, thinking his mission was accomplished. He had heard of the reputation of the second son of the Zhou family. Such a man, deeply immersed in pleasure, could be easily dealt with by an ordinary man. Now, with a Gathering Qi stage martial artist attacking, he would be bedridden for half a year.

Thinking of Zhou Mie's methods, Prince Anhe shook his head. How could a spoiled son compete with the heroic and strategic Zhou Mie?

Lin Xi stood in one place, her clothes perfectly outlining her beautiful curves. Her long, straight legs took a step forward to pull Zhou Ze back, but it was too late. Her eyes, like water, showed a hint of panic.

Throughout the Zhou family, some people, unable to bear it, had closed their eyes and covered their ears. They didn't want to see the tragic scene that was about to unfold.

The power of a mid-stage Gathering Qi martial artist was terrifying. As Wei Chi Yong's fist shot out, it was like a swift red light, rushing forward like a thunderbolt. It seemed that the punch would land on Zhou Ze's chest and shatter his ribs.

Everyone thought Zhou Ze would be severely injured, but Zhou Ze stood there without any panic. He just lightly turned his feet, and the punch passed by his chest, shooting straight out.

This scene left everyone stunned, even Wei Chi Yong was momentarily dazed. This was completely inconsistent with the information he had. Was it just good luck, or was there something else?

The punch grazed Zhou Ze's body, and Wei Chi Yong came to his senses. He thought, regardless of the reason, could he have the luck to avoid a second punch?

He reined in his punch, and just as he was about to turn around, he saw Zhou Ze flip his hand, and a sharp dagger appeared in his palm. Zhou Ze stood there, drawing a cunning arc. As Wei Chi Yong turned, the dagger was suddenly thrown, piercing into the fist that was coming back, the dagger completely sinking in, and blood splattering out.

"Ahh..."

Wei Chi Yong screamed in pain, clutching his arm and retreating, blood dripping onto the floor. The sound of the drops made everyone's eyes widen, staring blankly at Zhou Ze, unable to react.

No one had expected this. They only saw Zhou Ze sidestep and avoid Wei Chi Yong's punch, and then saw Wei Chi Yong's returning punch hit the dagger, which then sank into his arm.

"What's going on? He used his fist to hit the dagger?"

"His luck is too good, the dagger was just raised, and Wei Chi Yong's punch hit it."

"..."

Many of Prince Anhe's people looked at this scene in shock. From their perspective, they marveled at Zhou Ze's luck. They weren't unaware of other possibilities, but Zhou Ze showed no signs of elemental energy, and given his reputation, they didn't believe such a person could have such a clean and ruthless technique.

Lady Lanyang was also stunned. She knew Zhou Ze well and didn't believe he had this kind of strength. She also marveled at his luck. Seeing Zhou Ze avoid this disaster, she secretly rejoiced and prepared to pull him back.

But at this moment, the originally lazy Zhou Ze suddenly stepped forward, and a dagger appeared in his hand again. He charged at Wei Chi Yong.

"Ahh..."

The pain made Wei Chi Yong go mad. Seeing Zhou Ze charging with a dagger, his eyes turned bloodshot. His other hand tightened, turning into a stone-hard fist, and he swung it ruthlessly at Zhou Ze.

"Come back! Zhou Ze!" Lady Lanyang's expression changed drastically, shouting to stop Zhou Ze from acting impulsively. A mad mid-stage Gathering Qi martial artist was not someone Zhou Ze could handle.

Zhou Ze seemed not to hear Lady Lanyang's words. He walked calmly, watching the madly charging Wei Chi Yong. His eyes flashed with a cold light. As Wei Chi Yong's fist was about to hit him, he suddenly fell backward, landing on the ground, one hand supporting his body, and the other hand holding the dagger, thrusting forward.

Wei Chi Yong, enraged, swung his fist, hoping to hit Zhou Ze. But just as it was about to land on his chest, Zhou Ze fell to the ground. It was too late for him to stop his momentum, and he took a few more steps forward.

At this moment, Zhou Ze's dagger, like a bolt of lightning, pierced into Wei Chi Yong's thigh, blood gushing out. As Wei Chi Yong screamed in rage and bent down to punch Zhou Ze, Zhou Ze rolled on the ground, instantly appearing behind Wei Chi Yong, and thrust the dagger again, this time into his waist. The movement was swift and the technique proficient, shocking even those who had been on the battlefield.

Wei Chi Yong suffered multiple injuries, especially the dagger in his waist, which gave him a fatal wound. He fell to his knees, staring in horror at the blood gushing from his waist.

Zhou Ze stood up, dusted off his clothes, casually threw the dagger, and calmly returned to his place: "Bai Zhu! Wipe my hands!"

Lady Lanyang and Prince Anhe, among others, were still stunned, still immersed in the scene. They still couldn't believe that Zhou Ze had so easily dealt with a mid-stage Gathering Qi martial artist.

That clean and ruthless technique was that of a highly skilled hunter. Was this the Zhou Ze they knew?

Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhou Ze. At this moment, Zhou Ze was surrounded by four women, including Bai Zhu, who gently wiped the dust off his body. His hand caressed Bai Zhu's black hair, and the scent filled his nose, making him appear extremely dissolute. This debauched appearance was completely opposite to the previous skilled and decisive one.

Lin Xi stood beside Lady Lanyang, her bright and clear eyes fixed on Zhou Ze, her gaze pure and intense.

Noticing Lin Xi's gaze, Zhou Ze turned to look at her. Her beautiful face was as white as jade, flawless, and stunningly beautiful. But even such a beautiful woman staring at him made him feel a bit uncomfortable: "Well, I won't let Bai Zhu and the others serve me!"

After saying this, Zhou Ze waved his hand, and Bai Zhu and the others stepped aside. Seeing that Zhou Ze actually cared about Lin Xi's gaze, they couldn't help but giggle.

Seeing Zhou Ze act as if he was jealous, Lin Xi's face turned slightly red, making her even more alluring: "I don't care who serves you!"

Lin Xi's voice was very soft, and she looked away, her face turning even redder.

"Truly a dissolute son, still flirting at a time like this!"

Despite finding it hard to understand how Zhou Ze could injure Wei Chi Yong, Prince Anhe couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw Zhou Ze flirting with the beautiful women. He muttered a curse, waved his hand to have his subordinates carry Wei Chi Yong away, and gave a signal to someone behind him.

Immediately, another person stepped forward, his aura surging, his strength trembling like a fierce beast. This was another mid-stage Gathering Qi martial artist.

"Prince of the Demon Suppression Kingdom, you have truly opened my eyes!" Prince Anhe squinted his eyes at Zhou Ze. This was far beyond his expectations. Zhou Ze had always been seen as a dissolute son who only cared about pleasure, but the skilled technique just now made it hard for Prince Anhe to see him as just a dissolute son.

Prince Anhe squinted his eyes, thinking that Zhou Ze's reputation was just a smokescreen to deceive the world.

After observing Zhou Ze for a long time, Prince Anhe found no trace of elemental energy on him. He was sure he wouldn't be wrong. This meant that Zhou Ze had indeed not practiced cultivation, otherwise, there would be some elemental energy leaking out.

"Truly sick, not practicing cultivation, yet able to develop such a clean and ruthless technique. Could it be from bullying and killing too many people?" Prince Anhe cursed in his heart, pointing to the subordinates who had just stepped forward and said to Zhou Ze: "Look, you killed their elder brother and stabbed their second brother three times. Aren't you going to give them an explanation?"

Zhou Ze laughed, lightly patting Bai Zhu's buttocks. Bai Zhu blushed and obediently stepped aside, allowing Zhou Ze to look directly at Prince Anhe: "Zhou Mie really chose the right person. Because you are truly shameless."

"Who is Zhou Mie? I don't know him!" Prince Anhe laughed, "I am just seeking justice for my adopted son, it has nothing to do with others!"

"Of course you won't admit it! But I don't care whether you admit it or not!" Zhou Ze looked at Prince Anhe, "I'm just curious, now that the third brother has appeared, will there be a fourth, fifth, sixth... even a hundredth brother?"

Prince Anhe laughed: "It's very possible. I don't even know how many brothers Wei Chi Yong has. Perhaps there really are a hundred."

These words made Lady Lanyang's face turn pale. Prince Anhe was here to cause trouble, and he didn't even try to hide it. Such a shameless method was truly despicable.

Zhou Ze sighed, looking at the martial artist who had stepped forward, and nodded seriously: "I really envy your mother, she can give birth better than a pig."

These words made the martial artist's face twitch violently. Zhou Ze's mouth was truly venomous. He was cursing his mother as a pig, and they were all pigs. No, even worse than pigs!

"Beat him out with sticks!" Lady Lanyang was also furious and shouted loudly.

Prince Anhe laughed when he heard this: "Lady, you can naturally drive us away! But what about tomorrow? The day after? Or what if Zhou Ze meets me on the street?"

Prince Anhe was openly threatening the Zhou family, telling them that if this matter wasn't resolved today, he would continue to cause trouble.

These words made the Zhou family furious. Lady Lanyang, as the head of the Demon Suppression Kingdom, naturally had a bad temper, and she shouted to the guards: "Attack!"

The guards were about to charge forward, but Zhou Ze stopped them with a hand, smiling at Lady Lanyang: "This is a small matter, not worth Mother's anger. I will handle it."

Zhou Ze's bright smile and words made Lady Lanyang pause, but she quickly became angry again, almost wanting to curse: "You can handle it? If you had this ability, would I have to worry so much about you?"
