Chapter 428: Chapter 290: Saving the Scene
Hiss!!
Seeing Zhou Boxun’s move, the crowd below drew a sharp intake of breath, their eyes filled with envy and admiration. This was the levitation often depicted in martial arts novels. Although it wasn’t real flying, to ordinary people, it was akin to divinity!!
This was a technique only King Martial powerhouses possessed.
King Martial powerhouses, harboring King Martial True Qi within their bodies, wielded terrifying methods like levitation, walking on water, scaling walls swiftly, and killing with a flick of their fingers, all clever uses of King Martial True Qi.
King Martial and Postnatal were completely different concepts, with a vast difference between them, as if King Martial was a sharp steel sword, then Postnatal could only be considered a wooden sword!!
Just like the earlier Pang Bohu, who was at half-step King Martial and naturally possessed divine strength. Although he could exchange a few moves with an early King Martial master, it was just a few moves. However, for a King Martial powerhouse, those few moves were done in the blink of an eye, meaning that Pang Bohu, when facing a true King Martial powerhouse, still had no chance but to be instantly killed!!
Although Liu Wentian had displayed astonishing strength before, no one thought he had any chance of defeating Zhou Boxun!!
Thus, when Liu Wentian flatly refused the old Xiang Family’s proposal, unwilling to become a servant of the Xiang Family, some might have seen it as having backbone, but it was undoubtedly a path to his own demise!!
Elder Leng was so anxious at this moment that sweat beaded on his forehead, wondering why the person supposed to arrive hadn’t shown up yet?
Why, until now, had no mysterious masters come forward to save the day?
Letting Liu Wentian fight a King Martial powerhouse was utterly hopeless. When the time came, not only would Liu Wentian be finished, but the Sheng Family would be too!!
Sheng Qianmei bit her lips, which were already bitten to the point of oozing blood, yet she said not a word, just gazing with her beautiful eyes at Liu Wentian on the stage.
Zhou Boxun landed steadily on the ground, staring coldly at Liu Wentian, and said, “Boy, do you understand? Since I entered King Martial, I’ve rarely been this angry. You are foolish to the extreme, daring to be an enemy of the Zhou Family, and even daring to kill my grandson, trampling on the face of the Zhou Family. You truly have a death wish!”
With those words, he chuckled mockingly and continued, “Although you possess top-level martial skills and a strong physique, these are all jokes in front of me. If you’re willing to surrender your martial skills, I might let you die quickly. But if you don’t know what’s good for you, I don’t mind torturing you mercilessly, making you die in agony, suffering from the pain of neither being able to live nor die, which I believe you wouldn’t want to endure!!”
Liu Wentian laughed and responded, “You’d better not talk such nonsense, but you could mention your last words because today, I will definitely kill you!!”
He and the Zhou Family were already irreconcilable enemies, especially after learning that they wanted to burn Sheng Qianmei alive, which enraged him to the utmost. Today, he was determined to show everyone just how formidable Liu Wentian was!!
Hearing this, Zhou Boxun’s eyes filled with murderous intent, and he scoffed, “Ignorant fool, since you’re too proud to realize your place, let me show you that there are always higher heavens and people beyond people, and just how powerful a King Martial powerhouse is!!”
Having said that, he moved his palms in what seemed like slow motion, yet they trailed slight phantoms, looking rather eerie and chilling to the onlooker, creating a suffocating sensation.
This was the Zhou Family’s secret technique, the Mystical Seven Palms, but obviously, he had perfected it to an impressive degree, unlike the previous Zhou Yi, stripping away the unnecessary beginnings yet becoming even more fearsome.
“Wait, why the rush to act, I still have something to say,” Liu Wentian said nonchalantly, shrugging as if he hadn’t noticed the opponent’s mysterious palm technique.
Zhou Boxun scoffed, “What, thinking of begging for mercy now?”
Liu Wentian shook his head, smiling faintly, and replied, “Didn’t you say this second part is about a conflict of interests? And the stakes for this duel are to be decided by us both? Since that’s the case, we should gamble on something, right? Otherwise, defeating you just to take your life seems rather meaningless.”
“Haha! You still want to bet stakes with me?”
Zhou Boxun couldn’t help but burst into laughter, mocking, “They say the young calf doesn’t fear the tiger, but in your case, it isn’t ignorance; it’s that you have a problem with your brain! Since you want to bet, I’ll naturally oblige. After all, if you’re giving me a gift, why would I refuse? Hahaha! But I’m curious, what could you possibly have to bet with me, perhaps the Sheng Family’s properties?”
Liu Wentian smiled, looked down to Elder Leng, and asked, “Elder Leng, can I wager the Sheng Family’s properties?”
Elder Leng was taken aback, not expecting that even in this life-or-death moment, Liu Wentian was still upping the ante. However, he nodded his head and replied, “You can.”
At this point, the Sheng Family and Liu Wentian were already on the same boat. If Liu Wentian lost, the Sheng Family’s current possessions were doomed to be seized by the Zhou Family, so it made no difference to bet them now.
Zhou Boxun, tauntingly, said, “Good, very good, it seems you can really represent the Sheng Family now. So, what would you like to bet?”
Liu Wentian calmly replied, “The entirety of the Sheng Family’s fortunes against all of the Zhou Family’s assets, including all properties, martial arts schools, and every penny in the banks. Everything under Zhou Family’s name, I want it all! Of course, I understand that the Sheng Family’s fortune is not comparable to yours, so if I lose, I’ll throw in the ‘Lion’s Roar Skill’ I used earlier!!”
