Chapter 66: Accurate and Deadly Shot

  "Are you aware of yourself? Or should I send you on your way?" Zhang Huaming said coldly.

  For some reason, Liu Shengming felt a surge of fear in his heart when he heard Zhang Huaming's tone, and not only him, but also the war horse under him seemed to be startled by this tone, coordinating with its owner to retreat several steps.

  "What do you want to do?"

  "What do you want to do?" Zhang Huaming glanced at Liu Shengming with a look of disdain and coldly said: "Earlier, you wanted to kill my mother. Now I naturally want to fight for my mother's dignity. Don't waste words, are you coming alone or bringing everyone? Choose for yourself."

  "Rampage!" Liu Ming-sheng, after his fear had passed, gradually calmed down and regained his composure. He didn't believe that Zhang Hua-ming, a mere chief of staff, would dare to kill him on the street. His inflated self-confidence returned, and he coldly said: "How bold of you, Zhang Hua-ming! You see your superior and yet don't kneel down, instead speaking wildly. Guards, take him away, no matter whether he lives or dies."

  "Yes, General." The soldiers standing on both sides and behind Liu Shengming heard the general's order, and they all rushed towards Zhang Huaming, each trying to show off in front of their general. Unfortunately, they didn't know Zhang Huaming's true strength; otherwise, they would have run away faster than anyone else.

  "Clang! Clang! Clang!" Qin Xiao Tian and the others, seeing Liu Sheng Ming's men move to capture Zhang Hua Ming, naturally refused to show weakness. Each of them drew out their swords, ready for battle.

  Zhang Huaming immediately stretched out his hand to stop Qin Xiao Tian and others, with a sincere expression: "Brother Qin, I appreciate your kindness, but this time let me handle it personally."

  Qin Xiao Tian gazed at Zhang Hua Ming's sincere face for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "Alright, big brother will bring people to help you hold the fort on one side, go ahead with confidence!"

  "Thank you."

  "Kill!" In the brief moment it took Zhang Huaming and Qin Xiao Tian to exchange a few words, Liu Shengming's men had already rushed to Zhang Huaming's side, attempting to take him down.

  Whoa! Zhang Huaming's body shook, and in an instant, the soldiers who had crowded around him seemed to be repelled by some kind of backlash, tumbling backward and flying out, colliding with each other. In that brief moment, a small vacuum zone appeared around him.

  "Wu Yuan is going to be released?" Qin Xiao Tian, standing at the gate of the mansion, was stunned when he saw this scene. Because if Wu Yuan wanted to release it, his cultivation level would have to be at least that of a beginner Wu Zun, and how long had it been? Damn! It's simply a freak! At this moment, Qin Xiao Tian really wanted to open Zhang Hua Ming's skull to see what kind of brain he had. In just over a year, he had achieved such results without being seen, this person was really going to suffocate people to death.

  "What's going on?" Liu Mingsheng, riding on the Qilin warhorse, saw this scene and was immediately stunned. As one of the four major family heirs in Xia Guo, he would understand what this phenomenon represents.

  "Boom, boom, boom!" Zhang Huaming's clothes seemed to have a hidden drum set inside that was blowing air, making his clothes puffy. With each step he took, the surrounding space shook along with him.

  Pfft pfft pfft! The sound of blood spraying everywhere echoed, and Liu Shengming's subordinates were seen crawling on the ground, spitting blood. What a joke, could these highest-level high-ranking martial artists really resist the aura of the Martial God?

  Liu Ming Sheng's warhorse let out a long whinny before crashing to the ground, unexpectedly being crushed to death by Zhang Huaming's aura.

  Bang! Liu Mingsheng fell off his war horse and had an intimate contact with the ground.

  "Since you don't want to end it yourself, I'll be kind and send you on your way." Zhang Huaming flashed in front of Liu Mingsheng, raised his palm high, and slapped him down.

  "Halt." A shout came from the edge of the sky.

  "Hmph!" Zhang Huaming snorted coldly and completely ignored the newcomer's shout, his palm still slapping down.

  "No!" Liu Ming Sheng, who had originally prepared to wait for death, still had hope on his face when he heard this shout, but he never thought that Zhang Hua Ming would actually ignore the existence of the newcomer and still want to kill him. Just before his death, he let out a miserable cry.

  Bang! A crisp bone-cracking sound rang out, and Liu Ming's body went limp like a noodle, with fresh blood dripping from his forehead.

  Whoosh! A figure appeared at the spot where Liu Ming Sheng had fallen.

  "How dare you kill a descendant of the Liu family?" The newcomer looked at Zhang Huaming with an incredulous expression.

  Qin Xiao Tian, who was standing at the gate of the mansion, changed his expression as soon as he saw the visitor's appearance. He immediately sent a message to Zhang Hua Ming: "Brother, be careful, this old man is the ancestor of the Liu family."

  "High-ranking Wu Zun, I didn't expect Xia Guo to be a place where dragons and tigers hide." With Zhang Huaming's cultivation, he naturally saw Liu Ming's cultivation at a glance and responded calmly: "Kill one, then one will be killed. What is there to fear?"

  "How dare you!" Liu Ming's face turned red with rage as he heard Zhang Huaming's words, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped Zhang Huaming.

  "What?" Liu Ming's eyes widened instantly, because he saw Zhang Huaming under his overwhelming momentum actually had a faint smile on his face, and that smile seemed to be sarcastic.

  "Fall back!" Zhang Huaming shouted lightly.

  Thud, thud, thud! Liu Ming's body seemed to be impacted by some kind of enormous force, and he stumbled backward several steps before stabilizing his figure. However, as soon as he steadied himself, his facial expression turned pale for a few breaths.

  "You..." Liu Ming's finger trembled, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.

  Zhang Huaming saw Liu Ming's action and revealed a seemingly smiling expression: "At such an old age, why learn to be so arrogant like young people? If you don't spit out this blood, it will affect your future cultivation."

  Pffft! Liu Ming spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion suddenly turning deathly pale. As he looked at Zhang Hua Ming, his eyes were filled with a terrified light.

  Swish swish! A series of agile figures appeared on the streets in front of Qin Xiao Tian's mansion.

  "Our ancestors." Liu Mao and others exclaimed after seeing the scene on the battlefield.

  Liu Ming casually waved his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhang Huaming with a calm expression: "What are your plans now?"

  "Do I have to report my plans to you or something? You talk too much, today I've already done what I wanted to do. While I'm still in a good mood, hurry up and take your grandsons away from my sight, otherwise the next moment I don't know what I'll end up doing."

  Liu Ming heard Zhang Huaming's words and was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with joy: "Thank you, senior, for sparing my life. I will leave now."

  "Ancestor, who killed our son?" Liu Heng cried out with a sorrowful face.

  Liu Ming's expression turned gloomy as soon as he heard Liu Heng's questioning tone, and he glared at him, saying: "Look at the good son you've taught. Have someone send me back immediately. If anyone among you hasn't returned home within a minute, they will be expelled from the house, including myself."

  "Yes." Liu Heng dared to say what he just said because of his love for his son, but now that he saw his old ancestor leave, he was afraid afterwards.

  "Go." Liu Heng waved his hand and left with his son's body in his arms.

  Zhang Huaming smiled and watched as the Liu family's procession left, not moving or speaking. Only after they had all gone did he look around in several directions on both sides of the street, revealing a smile that was open to interpretation.

  "Long live the Chief of Staff!" The remaining soldiers of the Ferocious Tiger Troop behind Zhang Huaming all shouted in unison.

  "Little brother, it's been over a year since we last met. Your skills have improved, but I'm afraid even if I were to ride my horse at full gallop, I still wouldn't be able to catch up with you." Qin Xiao Tian said with a smile.

  "Big brother, your words make little brother feel ashamed! Little brother has yet to thank big brother for saving his mother today, please allow little brother to bow to you."

  Qin Xiao Tian saw Zhang Hua Ming about to kneel down, and quickly stretched out his hands to hold onto the other's arms, with a sincere expression saying: "Younger brother absolutely must not do that! Not to mention older brother had previously promised to take care of Auntie, just based on your younger brother's name alone, it is enough for older brother to step forward and maintain justice, what a pity older brother now has the heart but lacks the strength!"

  "Older brother, what exactly has changed over the past year?" Zhang Huaming asked in confusion. Logically speaking, if Xia Guo hadn't been destroyed, then the four major families should all be on an equal footing! Even if the Měng Hǔ Tuán had suffered a crushing defeat, with Qin Xiao Tian's status, it shouldn't have ended in such a miserable situation.

  "General, Chief of Staff, this is no place for idle chatter, what are you two doing here?"

  "Haha! It's all my fault, little brother. Come on, it's rare for you to come back this time, let's have a drink and make merry with me tonight!"

  "Yes, sir."

  "Haha!" Qin Xiao Tian burst into loud laughter, as if he wanted to vent out all the frustration of the past year.

  Thank you to the two big brothers of Pi Ball 2nd Generation for their rewards. Coffee is once again seeking recommendations, collections and everything. Finally, I wish all the big brothers a happy new year, may your wealth and treasures overflow, may your fortune be with you every step of the way, and may the dragon bring you good luck in the new year!
