Chapter 74: War of the Huajing Engine (Part 1)

  I was busy transplanting rice at home, so I'm a bit late, sorry about that, I'll try to be on time tomorrow.

  "It's you..." Hua Ying looked clearly at Zhang Cheng's appearance, suddenly stunned, and then exclaimed: "How is it possible, aren't you already been killed by me..."

  At last, Hua Jing suddenly realized that Ouyang Qianyun was still here and hastily stopped, only staring at Zhang Cheng in incredulity, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

  "Aren't you saying that I'm not already thrown off the cliff by you, how come I'm still not dead, huh?" Zhang Cheng looked at Hua Ying with a playful expression, and his current demeanor made him very satisfied.

  "What? Brother Zhang Cheng, is that true?" Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qianyun also realized what had happened and looked at Zhang Cheng with some disbelief.

  "Of course it's true, when you just left Shaoyang City, this kid returned and wanted to force me and you to cancel the contract. I disagreed, so he had the intention of killing me, but was afraid of my sect, so he thought of a so-called win-win solution to throw me off the cliff and let me fend for myself."

  "It's a pity, my luck is good, not only did I not die, but also got a strange encounter at the foot of the mountain. From this point of view, I should thank you, Master Hua." Zhang Cheng looked at Hua and called out "Master" heavily, but his current mood was revealed without reservation.

  "What's going on with Huaying?" Ouyang Qianyun also remembered that when she followed Bi Shui Zhenren to leave, they walked halfway and Huaying suddenly said there was something at home and then parted ways with them.

  She was in pain from being separated from Zhang Cheng at the time, so she didn't pay much attention. Now that she thinks about it, she realizes there's a problem. Because at the time, Hua Jing had just left home, how could anything have happened?

  So it seems he didn't go home but went to deal with Zhang Cheng instead.

  Thinking of this, Ouyang Qianyun felt a little guilty. If it wasn't for her words, Zhang Cheng wouldn't have been remembered by Hua Jing and almost lost his life.

  "Hmph, what's the big deal if I did? This Huaxia country's famous good-for-nothing is not worthy of you anyway. So I made him break off the engagement with you, I think I didn't do anything wrong. Who knew this brat was ungrateful? So I just got angry for a moment and threw him off the cliff." Hua Cheng said disdainfully.

  But he didn't notice that at this moment, this famous sickly beauty of Huaxia was about to surpass him, a healthy person, in cultivation.

  "When you..." Upon hearing Huajing say this, Ouyang Qianyun was so angry that she couldn't speak for half a day.

  "Haha, you're always so straightforward, but unfortunately, your scheme didn't succeed. Not only did I not die, but I also had a strange encounter. You've been cultivating for so long and are still only in the middle of the foundation-building stage, while I reached the early stages of foundation-building in just over two years. Comparing us, you're not even as good as me, a sickly person like myself. What qualifications do you have to stand here and say that I'm not worthy of Qianyun?" Zhang Cheng coldly laughed and asked.

  "What!" Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, both Hua Ying and Ouyang Qianyun were shocked.

  Hua Cheng didn't notice Zhang Cheng's cultivation because he saw that Zhang Cheng was still alive, and couldn't accept this fact, so he didn't observe his cultivation at the first time.

  Ouyang Qianyun was delighted to see Zhang Cheng, so all her attention was focused on other things, and she didn't take a closer look either.

  Of course, she has just reached the cultivation of a 9th rank martial artist and is still a short distance away from the Qi Refining stage, so she can't see how high Zhang Cheng's cultivation is.

  "How is this possible, it's only been a little over two years, how can this be?!" Hua Cheng's astonishment far surpassed Ouyang Qianyun's, after all, he had step by step reached this realm.

  At that time, he spent more than a decade advancing from the warrior's cultivation to the foundation period, even with the help of the foundation pill.

  But Zhang Cheng achieved it in just over two years, which is simply an impossible thing.

  However, Zhang Cheng was right in front of him at this moment, and his cultivation could be seen directly by himself, which was indeed the initial stage of foundation building.

  Now he regrets it, but not because of abandoning Zhang Cheng at the cliff back then. Instead, he regrets not killing him with his own hands back then, which led to Zhang Cheng showing up now.

  At the thought of his terrifying background, he didn't know what to do for a while.

  "Hua Ying, all the things you did to me back then are still etched in my memory till this day. Don't you think it's time for you to give me an explanation now? Hmm?" Zhang Cheng's face gradually turned cold, with a murderous intent brewing in his heart.

  Although he is only in the early stages of building his foundation, with his self-created attacking methods, he should be able to defeat Hua Cheng. Even if he can't win, it's still possible for him to draw a tie.

  Moreover, he also has a secret weapon, but using this secret weapon to deal with this kid is somewhat overkill, so unless absolutely necessary, he won't use it.

  "Hmph, hand over, what do you have to hand over? The Xiuzhen realm is like this, the strong prey on the weak. I'm stronger than you, so I can bully you. You think that just because you've reached the early stages of foundation building, you can rival me? Let me tell you, you're thinking too simply. I could have killed you before, and I still can now!" Hua Cheng also knew that this grudge was now set in stone.

  Moreover, this is irreconcilable hatred. Even if he compromises himself, Zhang Cheng will probably not let him off, so he won't give up compromising, even if it means death, he has to drag him down with him as a backing.

  "Is it?" Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "You're so confident?"

  "Cut the crap, what do you want? Draw your sword and let's get on with it! I'll accompany you!" Huajing replied.

  "That's good, then dare you fight me and let me see if you have the power to kill me now!" Zhang Cheng said.

  "What's the worst that could happen!" Huá Jīng also got angry, anyway things had already developed to this point, and it couldn't get any worse, so he just went along with a "what's the difference" attitude and agreed.

  "Zhang Cheng, gege, don't fight with him anymore, you can't beat him!" Ouyang Qianyun said anxiously, pulling Zhang Cheng's arm.

  "You won't know if you can win or not until you've fought, Yatou. Have some faith in your Zhang Cheng brother, okay? If I really lose, it's because you didn't have faith in me." Zhang Cheng said with a warm heart, seeing Ou Yang Qian Yun's worried face, and gently scratched her little nose.

  "But..."

  "There's nothing to be afraid of, you just have to have faith in your husband, understand?" Zhang Cheng pulled Ouyang Qianyun into his own arms, looking into her eyes as he spoke unequivocally.

  "Oh!" Seeing Zhang Cheng say this, he knew that no matter what he said, he wouldn't be able to change his mind. He responded with a sound, while secretly praying in his heart for Zhang Cheng's safety.

  "This is more like it!" Zhang stroked Ou Yang Qian Yun's hair, then turned around and shouted at Hua Qing: "Get out of here, I don't want to ruin this place."

  "Go, to the martial arts stage!" Hua Ying responded with a sound and turned around to walk out of the room. Zhang Cheng was not willing to show weakness either, pulling Ou Yang Qian Yun's small hand tightly behind Hua Ying.

  This situation immediately caught the attention of some passing disciples, after all, Ouyang Qianyun had never been so intimate with a man before, and at this moment she was being held by a man without seeming to mind.

  The main thing is that this man is not one of their Bi Xia sect, which makes them curious about Zhang Cheng.

  In addition, Hua's leading them in the direction of the performance stage, seemingly taking for granted that Ouyang Qianyun was holding hands with another man, only added to their confusion.

  In the past, Ouyang Qianyun was a private property of Hua Jing, and no man could get close to her, let alone hold hands with her.

  At this moment, he actually defaulted to another man walking with Ouyang Qianyun, what does that mean.

  Some keen-eyed people soon spotted the cat's out of the bag, and even smelled gunpowder between Hua Cheng and Zhang Cheng. So these people were like cats smelling fish, following behind, wanting to see what happened.

  Just then, a group of three men and two women walked over, but as soon as they returned to the gate, they saw the man who had been roasting meat for them outside.

  However, what puzzled them was why this man would pull Ouyang Qianyun's hand.

  "Shen Ying, what's going on? Is he really Qian Yun's fiancé?" Ma Qiu asked incredulously, feeling that today's events were simply too unbelievable.

  "I don't know either" Shen Ying shook her head, she couldn't say anything about this either. After all, Ouyang Qianyun had never told her about Zhang Cheng's affairs.

  "Let's take a look at the past then." Ma Qiu said.

  "Go!" After saying that, the two of them followed him.

  The three men looked at each other and followed suit.
