Chapter 123 Radiant Jewels

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhong Shan gritted his teeth, intending to fight Master Xu Gu to the death.

"Good!"

Master Xu Gu's eyes grew brighter; he suddenly clasped his hands together and then pushed out with immense force.

Zhong Shan was so scared he nearly wet his pants in that instant.

After Master Xu Gu unleashed such an attack, he immediately felt an irresistible power, manifesting as visible energy fluctuations, sweeping toward him.

After all, he was the protagonist's junior brother, and his natural talent was absolutely one in ten thousand.

Yet, up until now, even exerting his full strength, he had been unable to condense such vast energy.

This Old Man with white beard and hair before him could actually unleash visible energy orbs; just how powerful was he?

Even his own master could not reach this level of strength.

Facing Master Xu Gu's attack, Zhong Shan had no way to counterattack and could only passively defend.

Boom!

An energy shockwave brushed past Zhong Shan's side, shattering a giant boulder behind him.

Seeing the crushed stone powder behind him, Zhong Shan shuddered uncontrollably.

What kind of strength is this?

Not only was Zhong Shan shocked, but even Jiang Chenfeng and the other two had their eyes wide open, mouths agape, standing there in a daze.

"Kid, take another move from me!"

Master Xu Gu's body radiated a monstrous aura as a world-destroying power gradually gathered.

Zhong Shan's eyes were filled with despair; he knew he was powerless to resist.

"Master, please show mercy!"

Hearing Jiang Chenfeng's voice, Master Xu Gu struck out with a palm, brushing past Zhong Shan's side and slamming into the ground behind him.

Rumble!

The entire small island shook violently, and a fissure spread from the impact point to the distant sea surface.

Thud!

Zhong Shan collapsed directly onto the ground, staring blankly at Master Xu Gu, his lips trembling.

This is just too terrifying!

If Jiang Chenfeng hadn't spoken up in time just now, he would probably have been reduced to dust!

Jiang Chenfeng hurried over, bowed, and said: "Master, Zhong Shan is my junior brother. I beg you to show mercy and spare his life!"

Lin Tian's face turned livid.

He was about to go crazy with anger!

Is that damn person your junior brother?

This shameless thing!

Zhong Shan is my junior brother!

Even now, this guy is still pretending to be him?

Seeing Jiang Chenfeng speaking up for him, Zhong Shan was immediately moved to tears, choking out: "Senior brother! Thank you for saving my life!"

"How did you get in, kid? And why did you start fighting with my master?" Jiang Chenfeng asked, puzzled.

Zhong Shan scratched the back of his head and explained: "I was waiting by the great whirlpool for a long time, but I didn't see any sign of you, so I jumped into the great whirlpool too."

"It turned out there was a force inside the great whirlpool that forcibly threw me onto this small island! Then I saw this Old Man. I asked him if he had seen you, but this Old Man started saying all sorts of nonsense, and then I ended up fighting him!"

Jiang Chenfeng whispered: "This is my new master, a reclusive expert who has lived on this small island for nearly a hundred years! You must have experienced his strength, right? With his cultivation level, killing you would be like crushing an ant!"

Zhong Shan leaned close to Jiang Chenfeng's ear and whispered: "Senior brother, why did you take on another master? If our master finds out, he definitely won't be happy!"

Speaking of this, he glanced fearfully at Master Xu Gu and said: "Your new master is indeed very powerful; he is the strongest expert I have ever seen!"

"Disciple! Is this your junior brother?" Master Xu Gu asked, squinting his eyes.

"Yes, yes it is!"

"Don't worry! Master is not an unreasonable person; it doesn't matter if you had a master before! Master prefers a quiet atmosphere, so after I pass my skills on to you, you can leave this place!"

Jiang Chenfeng said seriously: "Master, I will come here often to visit you! If you decide to leave the mountain now and go play in the mundane world, you can also come to Yun Province to find your disciple!"

Master Xu Gu laughed loudly and waved his hand casually: "No need to come visit me! The small island where I reside will not stay here forever; it drifts on the ocean, and perhaps next time it will appear thousands of miles away."

"If the mood strikes me, perhaps I will go to the mundane world to hone my state of mind! When that time comes, I will go to Yun Province. Although you two brothers have had grudges in the past, do not kill each other. I hope that next time I see you, you will be getting along harmoniously."

Master Xu Gu did not continue saying anything more; he immediately waved his large hand, stirring up a strong gust of wind.

This gust of wind swept up Jiang Chenfeng, Lin Tian, Luo Chanyi, and Zhong Shan, quickly heading toward the distant sea.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Chenfeng returned to the coastline, glanced at Lin Tian, and smiled awkwardly: "Senior brother, you and I now study under the same master. Surely you wouldn't want Master to not see me the next time he enters the mundane world for training, right?"

"Hmph! Of course I won't personally take action against you, but if you happen to have an accident, that's none of my business!" Lin Tian snorted coldly, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Yuheng! Let's go!"

Lin Tian clearly had no intention of letting Jiang Chenfeng off, and he left with Luo Chanyi.

"Zhong Shan, let's go too!"

Jiang Chenfeng sighed helplessly, but after receiving Master Xu Gu's inheritance, he was no longer that afraid of Lin Tian.

As long as he cultivated the Pig Rushing Forward Fist, even if Lin Tian was the protagonist, he would be able to fight him.

Since Lin Tian wouldn't personally take action against him now, it could be considered giving him a chance to grow!

After returning to his villa, Jiang Chenfeng let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a lifetime had passed.

It had only been half a day, yet it felt to him as if more than half a year had passed.

Before Jiang Chenfeng could rest, he received a call from Lan Xiaodie: "President Jiang, President Liu called and said she wants you to come over to discuss a business contract!"

"Oh? Where?"

"Huijin Hotel!"

After asking for the address, Jiang Chenfeng immediately left the villa and headed toward the negotiation location.

The reason he was in such a hurry was because he remembered a plot point that had a lot to do with Liu Xinlan.

Huijin Hotel.

When Jiang Chenfeng arrived, he went straight to the hotel lobby and saw a familiar figure at one of the tables.

"Chenfeng!"

Upon seeing Jiang Chenfeng, Liu Xinlan immediately raised her hand to greet him.

Sitting opposite Liu Xinlan was a fat woman, dressed in gold and silver, bejeweled, looking at first glance like someone who was no ordinary person.

Liu Ziling!

A name appeared in Jiang Chenfeng's mind, and he thought of the relevant plot.

What puzzled him, however, was who exactly had designed this trap?
