122: Chapter 122 Lu Zheng Makes His Move, Everyone is Shocked (Part 3)

"He has this strength, I, Grandmaster Jiuyang, have nothing to say."

"However, if he does not have this strength..."

"The strong cannot be insulted; he must pay the price for his words!"

Grandmaster Jiuyang's voice carried extreme coldness, causing everyone present to feel a chill in their hearts as they snapped out of their initial shock.

The gazes directed at Lu Zheng carried a trace of pity.

It would be one thing if you offended these Geniuses, but you are courting death by offending Grandmaster Jiuyang. Don't you know that the strong cannot be insulted?

Even if your master, Grandmaster Jiquan, wants to protect you, he will have to pay a significant price.

Old Bai also knew that his disciple had spoken a bit aggressively just now, but he didn't care at all. In any case, the conflict between him and Grandmaster Jiuyang could no longer be reconciled.

"What if I, this old man, say no?"

"You, Grandmaster Jiuyang, what are you even worth? You ruined my disciple's Apprenticeship Banquet, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet!"

Old Bai spoke slowly and stood in front of Lu Zheng, while Grandmaster Jiuyang narrowed his eyes; the Aura of the two seemed to clash.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

As expected of my master.

Lu Zheng felt a wave of emotion. He had just said that he didn't hold Grandmaster Jiuyang in his eyes, but coming from his master, it had directly escalated to him not being worth anything.

"Master, they ruined my disciple's Apprenticeship Banquet. Can you let me handle this myself?"

Old Bai looked at his disciple with a trace of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected his disciple to be so bold as to still want to handle it himself at this point.

"Good!"

Old Bai agreed nonetheless. He had previously hinted to his disciple not to take action, but it seemed his disciple had other methods. He also wanted to see how far his disciple could go on his own.

Lu Zheng did not know what his master was thinking and immediately looked at Grandmaster Jiuyang.

"Grandmaster Jiuyang, tell me, what exactly must I do to prove my strength?"

The current Lu Zheng was already feeling impatient. These so-called Geniuses wanted to use him as a stepping stone to gain prestige, and wasn't he doing the same?

"Kid, as long as you can defeat my disciple, you can prove that you have this strength."

"How about it? Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Grandmaster Jiuyang said slowly, pointing at his disciple Xu Xiangdi beside him. Initially, Xu Xiangdi had been somewhat angry and confused, not understanding why his master would stop him.

But now, he was somewhat excited.

He could finally personally trample this guy who didn't even hold his own master in his eyes under his feet.

He had already decided that even if Lu Zheng admitted defeat later, he would not stop.

"Good, I, Lu Zheng, accept the challenge!"

Lu Zheng replied without the slightest hesitation. Even Grandmaster Jiuyang, who had just finished speaking, was somewhat surprised, followed by a cold sneer in his heart.

Lu Zheng's reaction made everyone secretly sigh in pity, as they had all seen Xu Xiangdi's strength.

Originally, things wouldn't have escalated to this point, but unfortunately, he was stubborn about handling it himself. Now it was too late; even if Grandmaster Jiquan wanted to intervene, there was no way.

His older sister, Lu Wen, felt a tightening in her heart as she watched her younger brother agree to the fight, feeling at a loss.

She wanted to go on stage to stop him, but it was one step too late.

"Brother..."

She muttered.

Wang Hu, not far away, was so angry he beat his chest. He didn't understand why Lu Zheng had agreed. Couldn't Lu Zheng see the huge gap between the two of them?

"Lu Zheng, you shouldn't have agreed."

Wang Hu sighed.

Old Bai, the master beside Lu Zheng, was also surprised and prepared to speak. Even if he had to sacrifice his own old face, he wouldn't let his disciple fight Xu Xiangdi.

His disciple Lu Zheng had talent that was rare in a thousand years, but what he lacked most was time.

"Disciple..."

But before Old Bai could finish his words, Lu Zheng spoke up.

"Master, I know what you mean."

"I just need to beat these people into submission."

"Master, believe in your disciple; I won't let you down."

Lu Zheng's words fell into Old Bai's ears. Old Bai's eyes narrowed in shock. When had he ever said that? Could his disciple have misunderstood his meaning?

But before Old Bai could speak, Lu Zheng had already jumped off the stage.

Below the stage, there happened to be an open space of decent size.

"Lu Zheng, I will make you regret this."

At this moment, Xu Xiangdi also arrived, looking at Lu Zheng with ill intent. A powerful Aura surged out, and his Battle Intent reached its peak.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng slowly extended one finger.

Xu Xiangdi was confused.

"Are you begging for mercy?"

"It's too late!"

Lu Zheng slowly shook his head.

"I said, all of you come at me together."

Lu Zheng's voice reached Xu Xiangdi's ears, and Xu Xiangdi was instantly enraged.

"Good for you, Lu Zheng, still running your mouth even now."

"You're courting death!"

Xu Xiangdi roared, his combat power fully unleashed, his fist techniques explosive, his movement techniques pushed to the limit, rushing toward Lu Zheng like a sharp arrow.

Everyone around didn't dare to breathe, watching this scene intently.

Many people admired Lu Zheng; even at the very last moment, he was still running his mouth. This was already a kind of talent.

Seeing this scene, his older sister, Lu Wen, could no longer control herself and exclaimed.

"No!"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the entire area fell into dead silence. Everyone widened their eyes, as if they had seen the most unbelievable scene in the world.

Even his master, Old Bai, was the same.

Not to mention Grandmaster Li and Grandmaster Luoshen, whose eyes also showed shock, as if they were saying, is this still that child named Lu Zheng?

His older sister, Lu Wen, opened her mouth wide, unable to make a sound.

Xu Xiangdi was sent flying.

It was just one slap from Lu Zheng.

Without the slightest power to resist, in the eyes of others, it looked as if Xu Xiangdi had deliberately collided with Lu Zheng's palm.

Even Grandmaster Jiuyang was stunned.

Xu Xiangdi shook his head; the intense pain made him a bit slow to react. He touched the left side of his face, which had already swollen up.

What just happened?

Wasn't he fighting Lu Zheng, his attack about to land on him? Then, he came to his senses, and he had ended up like this.

"This must be an accident, a coincidence..."

"I said, all of you come at me together."

Lu Zheng stood below the stage, his expression indifferent, showing no signs of having attacked at all. Following this came Xu Xiangdi's extreme rage.

His blood Qi was erupting, his Battle Intent was climbing, veins were popping, and his combat power had risen another level.

"How dare you!"

"I am a Little Grandmaster, a second-stage middle-rank existence in martial arts, the most talented person to date!"

"I want you to die!"

As his voice fell, Xu Xiangdi attacked Lu Zheng again. This time was stronger than the last, and he didn't hold back at all; he wanted to kill Lu Zheng.

"Slap!"

Another crisp sound rang out.

Xu Xiangdi was sent flying again in a graceful posture, his right cheek swollen high.

In his eyes as he flew out, there was disbelief and shock, as well as endless fear...

"I said, you are not qualified yet!"

Lu Zheng's voice fell into the ears of everyone present...
