Chapter 9: Provoking Zheng Kun with a Halberd, Offending the Zheng Family
"Lord Zheng, what is your grandson's intention?"
Yang Lin pointed to the life-or-death agreement signed by Zheng Ji, his brows furrowed, his tone filled with obvious accusation and incomprehension.
If Zheng Kun is no match for the others, should we just let Zheng Ji die?
"Brother Huchen, it's alright, it's alright, just take it as the name of my beloved grandson."
Zheng Ji also had a real headache dealing with his unruly and spoiled grandson.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that this so-called life-or-death agreement was just a formality to shut people up.
Could it be that someone has really lost their mind and dares to kill the eldest grandson of the Zheng family of Xingyang?
joke!
"Alright, let's begin!"
Yang Lin waved his hand, and Zheng Kun and his opponent went on stage.
However, before the fight even started, the man rolled off the fighting platform.
"I give up!"
The man said without hesitation.
"Um?"
Yang Lin's brows furrowed instantly, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
To be cowardly before the battle even begins, to surrender without a fight—what kind of behavior is this?
Especially since this was on the martial arts arena personally presided over by his powerful patron!
Soldiers must have backbone!
"How dare you! You've taken your godfather's duel for granted?"
Immediately, one of them rushed out from the ranks of the Taibao.
This man was named Yin Yue, and his father was named Yin Zhenglun, a general under Zhang Xutuo.
After Yin Zhenglun's death in battle, Zhang Xutuo entrusted Yin Yue to Yang Lin, who had no children.
Over time, Yin Yue received guidance from Yang Lin and naturally became Yang Lin's adopted son.
However, he was not a Taibao (a powerful figure in Chinese folklore), but always acted as Yang Lin's adopted son.
Yin Yue regarded Yang Lin as his father, so he naturally couldn't stand anyone disobeying Yang Lin's rules like this.
"King of the Mountain, is it not allowed to admit defeat in a duel?"
Those who had already pledged allegiance to the Zheng family, seeing Yin Yue pressing closer, immediately asked...
"Hmph, I can admit defeat, but not you!"
After Yin Yue finished speaking, he struck out with a spiked club, killing the man instantly.
Some time ago, this person used ruthless methods to win a martial arts competition, killing many people.
Now, if they want to quit, not only will those people be killed for nothing, but even the rules set by their godfather will be broken.
He wouldn't allow it!
Seeing this, Zheng Ji did not take the matter to heart.
It was just a dog; it's fine if it dies.
"Let the duel continue!"
Yang Lin was very satisfied with Yin Yue's handling of the situation.
Or perhaps he's just gotten old and his former glory has faded.
That's why these people are so presumptuous, treating rules like a joke.
With one player killed, Zheng Kun received a bye and won outright.
Lu Xiao's opponent was extremely cautious; he not only accepted money from the Zheng family but also joined them.
Regardless of the circumstances, Lü Xiao must be killed in this battle.
Then, he would create an opening for Zheng Kun, allowing him to win the duel.
However, the plan was perfect, but it failed at the very first step.
Lu Xiao's attack was as fierce as a tiger, and he knocked his opponent down in less than a round.
Seeing that his opponent wanted to admit defeat, Lü Xiao gave him no chance.
He shifted his body and thrust out his halberd.
puff!
The opponent didn't even have a chance to react before being pierced through.
After being betrayed by Xu Maogong, Qin Qiong, and others.
Lu Xiao secretly vowed that he would kill anyone who wanted to harm him to prevent future troubles.
Having signed the waiver, they had no more worries.
It's a case of "if you don't kill them, you might as well kill them."
"Lü Xiao wins!"
Luo Fang was overjoyed to see this.
Four people made it to the final stage of the competition, but two of them were bribed by Zheng Ji. How could he not be furious?
Now, all that's left is Zheng Kun.
"Let's rest for half an hour before the competition begins!"
Yang Lin stood up and announced to the audience.
"King Kao Shan, there's no need for this!"
Holding his halberd, Lü Xiao spoke loudly to the spectators.
He didn't expend too much effort, nor did he want to waste the time.
"Have you thought it through?"
Yang Lin had never met such an upright person; he wouldn't even try to take advantage of a loophole.
Perhaps this is what Lü Xiao meant when he said it: a lack of flexibility.
"nature."
Lu Xiao remained calm and composed, and assumed a fighting stance.
"Alright, let the duel continue!"
Yang Lin then sat down again.
Zheng Kun took the large iron spear from the servant and leaped onto the dueling platform.
Lu Xiao knew at a glance that this guy was no ordinary person.
Although Zheng Kun was extremely arrogant, his skills were genuine.
He is physically strong and has a stable lower body.
The spear in his hand was indeed heavy, probably even heavier than his own halberd.
"Boy, since you don't want to be the Zheng family's dog, then die!"
Zheng Kun's eyes were filled with murderous intent. If he killed Lü Xiao, he could marry Yang Yu'er and become one of the Thirteen Protectors.
He would find another opportunity to kill Yang Lin and inherit the throne of the Prince of Kao Shan as soon as possible.
At that time, even if he united all the powerful families in the world, becoming an emperor would not be difficult.
"Oh."
Lu Xiao chuckled, pushed off with his legs, and leaped into the air.
He chose number three, participated in the martial arts competition, challenged Zheng Kun with a halberd, and obtained the power of two elephants.
Before obtaining the power of the two elephants, he might have had some reservations in this world where everyone has the strength of a thousand catties.
Now, he can't stand up to anyone except Li Yuanba.
Zheng Kun is just a nobody; how can he compare to me?
Seeing Lü Xiao's fierce approach, Zheng Kun dared not be careless.
He gripped the heavy iron spear tightly with both hands, mustered all his strength, and thrust upwards with all his might, intending to meet the attack head-on!
The two weapons clashed, producing a deafening clang of metal!
However, an overwhelming and terrifying force, like a flash flood, surged down the gun barrel!
Zheng Kun's expression changed drastically. He felt his arms tremble violently, and his tiger's mouth split open instantly.
The power was far greater than he had imagined!
His left knee buckled, and he couldn't support himself. With a thud, he slammed his knee heavily onto the hard ring floor!
Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Besides the indescribable shock, the fear of death instantly overwhelmed him.
He severely underestimated Lü Xiao!
This person's power is simply beyond his ability to contend with!
"Lü Xiao! I...I was wrong!"
In the face of life and death, all thoughts of face and ambition are thrown to the winds.
Zheng Kun practically screamed, "I shouldn't have coveted your BMW! And I shouldn't have used my family background to pressure you! I concede! I withdraw from the fight!"
"You don't just know you're wrong, you know you're going to die!"
"Lü Xiao! How dare you! I am Zheng..."
Zheng Kun was terrified, his eyes wide open, trying to invoke his family as a last resort.
He couldn't believe that anyone in this world would dare to risk everything to kill his most favored grandson of the Zheng family's eldest branch!
If I die, Lü Xiao won't survive either!
"I don't care about your prestigious family or powerful clan."
Lu Xiao gripped his halberd and thrust it fiercely at Zheng Ji.
Zheng Ji watched this scene with eyes wide with rage.
His grandson was no match for Lü Xiao, but Lü Xiao showed no mercy.
"Lü Xiao, how dare you!"
However, after Zheng Ji shouted those words, Lü Xiao showed no intention of stopping.
puff!
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh and bone was exceptionally clear and jarring in the suddenly deathly silent arena.
Zheng Kun was stabbed by the halberd, his eyes filled with disbelief.
At this moment, the entire arena fell silent, save for the sound of blood dripping onto the dueling platform.
Luo Fang and Xue Liang exchanged a glance.
With Zheng Kun dead and Lü Xiao in charge, they could finally entrust Yang Yu'er to him with peace of mind.
A glint flashed in Yang Lin's eyes. This Zheng Kun had committed numerous evils and acted tyrannically; he should have died long ago.
Lü Xiao's actions were tantamount to eliminating a scourge for the people!
Good, well done!
If Zheng Ji pursues the matter, Lü Xiao will be in serious trouble!
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Zheng Ji roared wildly at those around him, completely losing his usual composure.
His beloved grandson is dead; he must tear Lü Xiao to pieces!
"yes!"
The Zheng family members drew their swords and rushed towards the dueling platform.
Upon seeing this, Yang Lin leaped up from the stands with a powerful push of his legs.
"Godfather, weapons!"
Without hesitation, Yin Yue threw the spiked club, which Yang Lin caught in mid-air and landed safely on the dueling platform.
"The death penalty has been signed. You dare to act recklessly in my camp? You're courting death!"
