Chapter 316: Slapping the Wu Village Manor (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This man most likely thought that he was a righteous person who could not take the current state of the world. He should be standing up for the farmer and seeking justice.
This sort of person had always been troublesome. In his opinion, he was just a busybody who could not differentiate between right and wrong… Everyone lived their own lives, and there was no enmity between them, but he insisted on causing some trouble. He even had his own twisted logic.
As a local tycoon, he hated people who ruined his stable and peaceful life the most.
Fortunately, this man was just an ignorant boor. The situation on his side was under control.
Thinking of this, Wu Changgui’s mood calmed down a little. He planned to reason with Zhou Jing and use words to restrain him. After having the moral high ground, he would then let the guest guards take down this person.
“Then why did you hurt my son? Do you think it’s inappropriate for my son to ask for a debt? I don’t mind letting you know that these villagers have all set up a loan receipt with me. It’s only right for them to repay their debts. My Wu family…”
However, Zhou Jing interrupted him and gestured with his chin at Wu Fang before saying,
“What nonsense are you spouting? That person dared to glare at me, so I slapped him to wake him up.”
Wu Changgui was stunned for a long time at his words.
This… Why wasn’t this person acting according to the rules?
How could you be so purely unreasonable? Are all the ways of doing justice these days so wild?
The moral high ground was given away just like that. Then why did you come here?
Wu Changgui was confused, but it did not abate his fury. He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, “A warrior’s temper is really violent… Then why are you here? Are you not here to reason with me?”
Zhou Jing twisted his neck as he slowly spoke,
“After beating up your people, you naturally won’t let the matter rest. There are many guards in your village manor. Others say that they’re not to be trifled with, but I don’t want to be on guard at all times. In order to prevent you from taking revenge on me, I might as well kill your entire family first, uproot the source, and end the enmity once and for all!”
Wu Changgui was dumbfounded. He was speechless after hearing those words.
He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He pointed at Zhou Jing, but no words could come out.
On the other hand, Wu Zhen was furious. He suddenly hit his staff hard on the ground and cursed,
“How dare you! You thief, you’re rebelling. Do you think my Wu family is easy to bully?! It’s my fault for being blind to think that you’re a good man!”
“Such a thug must be a person from some bandit mountain! Left and right flank, take him down and tie him up before handing him over to the authorities!” Wu Fang directly set him up, his voice lisping as he spoke.
Hua la la ——
With a command, the hundreds of the guards who were already eager to try immediately surrounded Zhou Jing.
“Ha, why didn’t you do this earlier!”
Zhou Jing laughed loudly and rampaged through the sea of people, wantonly displaying his courage.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shadows of the tree branch flew, sometimes like a hammer, sometimes like a spear.
Anyone who was hit by it would be sent flying and knocked over, their bones broken and muscles torn.
However, when the guard’s staff hit Zhou Jing, it did not hurt at all. With 20 points of resistance, it was quite easy for him to endure the punches and kicks of these mortals.
In a flash, 20 to 30 of the guards had been knocked to the ground.
The branch had hit many people and had long broken. Zhou Jing simply swapped to one of the staffs lying around to run rampant in the crowd like a whirlwind, flipping over the guests one by one. Whenever the staff he was holding onto was broken, he would snatch a new one from the guards.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The staff swept across the ground like a violent wind. Zhou Jing simply used these guests as sparring partners and practiced the footwork, fist techniques, as well as the [Mid-Level Spear Technique] that came with the Apostle.
The apostle #004’s “Martial Arts” aptitude was at the level of a Purple-tier genius. With the support of Accelerated Learning, it could be said to be like adding wings to a tiger.
The experience of martial arts skills increased rapidly in actual combat, and muscle memory was rapidly formed.
In only a short period of time, a notification popped up on the interface.
[Mid-level Spear Technique has been upgraded.]
[Current Level: Lv2 (Proficient)]
[Mastered [Martial School of Thought – Gale Path] ]
[Current Level: Lv 1 – (Apprentice)]
He leveled up so quickly!
Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up. With his high aptitude, his cultivation efficiency also increased. He became more and more energetic in battle.
…
When Zhou Jing was surrounded by hundreds of people, the farmers who had followed him had long retreated to the side in panic. They watched anxiously, but did not dare to get involved.
Zhang San held his fork tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. There were a few times when he wanted to rush in to help Zhou Jing, but when he saw the dense crowd of guards, he could not help but feel afraid. His legs just would not listen to him.
As an ordinary person, he only followed Zhou Jing to the Wu family because of his boiling blood.
When he really arrived, Zhang San saw that the Wu family had the advantage in numbers, his boiling blood could not help but turn cold. The past power of the Wu family surged in his heart, making him hesitate and not know what to do.
At this moment, there was already a large number of people watching the show outside the courtyard. Most of the people in the village had gathered over, discussing in surprise.
Not long after, Li Chun and the other two finally rushed over. They pushed aside the crowd outside the courtyard and squeezed in. At a glance, they were shocked to see Zhou Jing, who was surrounded but still running wild amongst the guards.
“It’s really Brother Chen Feng…”
Li Chun covered his forehead, speechless.
Brother Chen had said that he would only go to the Wu Village to reject the invitation. Why would they fight over such a simple matter? What kind of nonsense was this?
Lu Yunzhao was also puzzled, “The Wu Village Manor was quite polite to him before. Why did Brother Chen suddenly go against them? What should we do now?”
“This…” Li Chun also had a headache on what to do.
