"Thank you very much, senior!" Chen Kong said humbly.
"Hiss!" Junyi and the others, who were about to reap the lives, were suddenly taken aback!
"Ventriloquism...the art of ventriloquism?" Junyi was horrified. His voice trembled as he asked Gao Jianfei, "Who...who exactly are you?"
"Gah gah gah gah... What right do four little ants have to know who I am?" Gao Jianfei chuckled inwardly, then paused and shouted at Chen Kong and the others, "What are you dawdling for? Make your move!"
Chapter 405 Junior respectfully sees off senior!
Chapter 405 Junior respectfully sees off senior!
With Gao Jianfei's support and the fact that although the four disciples of the Holy Land were skilled in martial arts, they were still young and their auras were not strong enough to make Chen Kong and the others unable to defeat them, Chen Kong and the others also made their move directly!
Chen Kong unleashed the Vajra Arhat Palm, one of the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin, striking at Junyi; Chu Chenzi used the Wudang Cotton Palm to attack Shao Cong; Hong Shanfeng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, used a set of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms; and Master Shanshui used a different style of fist techniques. Each chose a disciple from the Holy Land. A duel ensued!
In an instant, the peaceful garden was filled with flying fists and heavy palm strikes, mixed with the unique cold air of the Frost Palm!
The four disciples of the Holy Land had always looked down on the ancient martial arts practitioners of the current internal martial arts schools. However, after engaging in combat, they discovered that their opponents were all truly skilled! Forget about instant kills; even in a prolonged fight, victory was not guaranteed!
"These guys truly deserve to be called outstanding figures among the major internal martial arts schools today; their ancient martial arts cultivation is indeed extraordinary!" Junyi and the others pushed their cold energy to the limit, no longer harboring any underestimation of their opponents!
Meanwhile, Chen Kong and the others encountered a formidable opponent. They concentrated their mental energy and unleashed their life's cultivation, countering each move and seeking opportunities to launch a counterattack.
Eight people fought a fierce and evenly matched battle!
In truth, Chen Kong and the others felt a mixture of bewilderment and secret delight, a feeling akin to ice and fire. They were bewildered that their opponent, only in his early twenties, could fight them, centenarians, to a standstill—a truly terrifying prospect. Yet, they were delighted to discover that the disciples of the Holy Land were not entirely invincible. At least they had managed to maintain a stalemate, and hadn't been instantly killed the moment they engaged.
Gao Jianfei watched the battle intently. He was constantly assessing the situation… Damn, these masters of ancient martial arts and internal styles had only managed a draw against the younger, less experienced disciples of the Holy Land! If it were previous generations of Holy Land disciples, whose age and talent surpassed Junyi and the others, Chen Kong and his group would likely have been defeated long ago!
The eight fighters battled for a while longer, and Master Shanshui and Hong Shanfeng were the first to show signs of defeat. A thin layer of frost had formed on their eyebrows and hair, and their faces were growing increasingly pale. Even their movements became more sluggish than before!
Chen Kong and Chu Chenzi gradually gained the upper hand, but they were unable to kill their opponent for the time being.
"Hmm. It's time for me to make my move!" A murderous glint flashed in Gao Jianfei's eyes, and he thrust out with both hands!
One-Finger Divine Skill!
Two terrifying One-Finger Divine Powers tore through space, directly piercing the waists of the two Holy Land disciples who were fighting against Master Shanshui and Hongshanfeng from a distance!
"Hiss!"
Two sharp, piercing sounds rang out!
"Ah! Ah!" The two Holy Land disciples' strength collapsed instantly! Just then, Hong Shanfeng struck one of the Holy Land disciples on the top of the head with a palm strike without any obstruction! The Holy Land disciple's skull shattered instantly, making a terrible cracking sound, and creamy white brain matter gushed out like a fountain!
On the other side, Abbess Shanshui punched the heart of the Holy Land disciple she was fighting, shattering his heart into eight pieces!
"Junior brother!" Shao Cong and Junyi roared frantically!
Hong Shanfeng and Master Shanshui stared in disbelief at their opponent, whom they had already killed. They knew they were at a disadvantage in their fight, so how could they have turned the tide and killed their opponent? Just now, it was clearly a long-range attack from a distance that helped them defeat their opponent!
And so, their gazes all turned to Gao Jianfei in a daze.
Gao Jianfei didn't say anything, but pointed with both hands again, his finger force piercing through Junyi and Shao Cong's chest acupoints!
The two men's bodies went limp instantly. In the midst of the fierce battle, Master Chenkong and Daoist Chuchenzi each delivered a finishing blow, killing Junyi and Shaocong completely!
The intense fighting scene suddenly quieted down.
In the garden, four bodies lay gradually growing cold.
The arrogant disciple of the Holy Land has been killed!
"Heh heh heh... What kind of Holy Land disciple? I thought they had three heads and six arms, but they still died!" Gao Jianfei sneered inwardly. "You four juniors, your martial arts are indeed impressive. To be able to kill a Holy Land disciple, impressive, impressive!"
After a pause, Gao Jianfei continued in his ventriloquism, "However, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise, the Holy Land will kill all the elders and children of your sects to vent their anger."
It was Gao Jianfei who secretly caused the deaths of these four disciples of the Holy Land, yet now he keeps saying that it was Chen Kong and his three companions who killed their opponents.
This is tantamount to directly putting Chen Kong and the others in a difficult position!
Chen Kong and the others felt their hearts pounding with fear!
On one hand, they all realized that Gao Jianfei was using a technique of attacking from a distance! Gao Jianfei did not use any hidden weapons; he was purely relying on martial arts to create a distance attack. This level of skill was simply unheard of!
Gao Jianfei's martial arts skills are so strong that they have completely overturned Chen Kong and the others' previous understanding!
Furthermore, Gao Jianfei now claims that the four disciples of the Holy Land were all subordinates of Chen Kong and his group. This makes sense; if the fatal wounds on these four disciples are examined, they were indeed inflicted by Chen Kong and his group. This has forced Chen Kong and his allies to take a hostile, irreconcilable stance against the Holy Land!
"Ah... The elder of Gao Jianfei's family is not only a peerless martial artist, but also incredibly cunning. We were actually manipulated by him!" Chen Kong and the others were utterly shocked!
"Alright, now that you've killed several people from the Holy Land, it's tantamount to declaring war on them!" Gao Jianfei said via ventriloquism. "That's fine. On behalf of my family, I've decided to cooperate with you! However, the experts in our family won't be available at any time. I, Jianfei, will be the representative of our family. In the future, if you have any issues, you can directly report them to me. If I need any help from you, I hope you won't refuse!"
After saying this, Gao Jianfei also swept his cold gaze over Chen Kong and the others.
Chen Kong and the others were now speechless!
"Yes...yes, senior...I, Abbot Chen Kong of Shaolin, represent 33 ancient martial arts sects to cooperate with your family! Let's all resist the Holy Land's ambitions together. Rest assured, Mr. Gao Jianfei, since you are your family's representative, we will do our utmost to cooperate with you. If you need help, just send a message, and all 33 ancient martial arts sects will lend a helping hand with all our might!"
With things having come to this point, Chen Kong and the others had no choice but to make an alliance with Gao Jianfei!
Over there, Lao Pang and Liang Xiaoru had also recovered from their complete shock. However, Gao Jianfei's aura was too cold, so they dared not approach him.
"Senior, just now...you...you...you seemed to be using a technique of attacking from a distance...truly amazing! I suppose your family must be one of the top experts in the world." Chuchenzi exclaimed in admiration.
"What's so special about a mere long-range attack technique?" Gao Jianfei said arrogantly. "In my family, there's only a mediocre talent ranked 177th in martial arts. What's there to brag about?"
The person ranked 177th in martial arts can kill people from a distance! So, what about the master ranked number one in martial arts?
Chen Kong and the others have completely collapsed!
I feel dizzy!
"Ah...ah...ah..." Chen Kong couldn't utter a single word! His entire brain was in a state of short circuit.
"So, as I always say, it's incredibly lucky for you guys to choose to cooperate with our family! If it weren't for the fact that our family is a detached, semi-reclusive clan, why would we cooperate with you? We would have already stormed the Holy Land and wiped out everyone there!" Gao Jianfei said arrogantly.
"Yes! Yes! Senior is absolutely right!" Chen Kong and the others nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice. Originally, they had wanted to ask Gao Jianfei's family for the true secrets of cultivating ancient martial arts and the secrets of taming beasts, but now, seeing how terrifying Gao Jianfei was, they forcibly suppressed all their thoughts and dared not mention them at all!
"Well, it's getting late. Today, I must return to the family headquarters. If there's anything, please speak directly with me, Junior Jianfei! This city should no longer be under the surveillance of any Holy Land disciples, and you are all in a completely safe state." Gao Jianfei stood up, leaning on his cane. He coldly said in ventriloquism, "These corpses, I will handle them myself!"
He walked over to the four corpses and, through his fingers, sprinkled some of the celery onto them.
Soon, the corpse began to hiss and emit thick smoke, turning into four skeletons!
"Hiss!"
Seeing Gao Jianfei's methods of destroying evidence, Chen Kong and the others felt a chill run down their spines! And at the same time, they thought... Damn! If we hadn't agreed to cooperate just now, or had taken the opportunity to make demands, we'd probably be found dead on the spot, and then have our bodies destroyed like this?
Thinking of this, Chen Kong and the others were completely drenched in cold sweat!
"Gaga... Luckily, our cooperation went smoothly, otherwise... Gaga..." Gao Jianfei looked at Chen Kong and the other four with ill intent, which scared them so much that their legs went weak!
After a pause, Gao Jianfei glanced at Liang Xiaoru, who was trembling like a quail, and then spoke in ventriloquism, "That woman is a big star in the secular world, right? I, Jianfei, want to have some fun with her. However, since we are all allies, I advise Jianfei not to go too far. Therefore, Jianfei will not touch that star for the time being. But if Jianfei wants to have his way with her, you must obediently clean her up and send her to me. Understand?"
"Ah?" Chu Chenzi, the leader of the Wudang Sect, was startled. He thought to himself, "Gao Jianfei really can't forget Xiao Ru!"
"What, do you have a problem with that?" Gao Jianfei asked deliberately.
"No! No! This junior wouldn't dare!" Chuchenzi immediately said respectfully.
Liang Xiaoru over there was anxious, scared, ashamed, and angry, but she dared not protest.
Gao Jianfei was just joking around; he wouldn't actually ask to play with Liang Xiaoru.
Gao Jianfei felt that things were almost done, so he directly instructed in ventriloquism, "Find a way to bury these corpses. Remember, the bones are highly poisonous, so be very careful. I'm leaving now!"
Having said that, he tapped his cane and drifted away.
"Junior respectfully sees off senior!" The four old men, whose combined age was nearly 400, bowed respectfully behind Gao Jianfei and said.
After Gao Jianfei left, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were completely exhausted and slumped in their chairs, panting heavily.
"How amazing..." Master Shanshui murmured, "Everyone, the power of Mr. Gao Jianfei's family is even more terrifying than that of the Holy Land!"
Chapter 406: Drawing 10 competition events!
Chapter 406: Drawing 10 competition events!
After Gao Jianfei left, Chen Kong and the others dutifully went to the boutique dog shop, found gloves, hoes, shovels, and other tools, and carefully buried the four corpses themselves. A pack of large fighting dogs watched their every move with cold, menacing eyes, like overseers. The python also occasionally darted out, slithering and coiling in the garden, a truly terrifying sight!
At first, the skeletons weren't buried deep enough, and the fighting dogs and pythons hissed as if they were extremely dissatisfied. Chen Kong and the others were terrified and quickly dug a deeper pit to carefully bury them!
We finally buried them until they were satisfied!
"Master Bodhidharma, please come forward! This humble monk has never been... threatened by animals while doing things... Today is the first time I've ever experienced this, it's truly shocking!" Master Chenkong sat down in his chair, put down the hoe in his hand, feeling that what he had experienced tonight was like a dream, hard to believe, yet incredibly real.
At this moment, Liang Xiaoru ran over and said to Chuchenzi, the leader of the Wudang Sect, in a coquettish tone, "Sect Leader, Grandmaster, how could you agree to that ugly ghost's request and let Gao Jianfei... let Gao Jianfei play with... play with his grand-disciple as he pleases?"
"Hiss!" Chu Chenzi gasped. "Xiao Ru, don't talk nonsense! What ugly ghost? Don't spout nonsense!"
"Master! That Gao Jianfei is a rogue! A scoundrel! How could your grand-disciple be allowed to... Waaaaah..." Liang Xiaoru was indeed very helpless.
"Roar!" At this moment, upon hearing Liang Xiaoru insult Gao Jianfei, the Tibetan Mastiff let out a fierce roar. Then, a group of fighting dogs surrounded Liang Xiaoru, sticking out their scarlet tongues and revealing their sharp fangs, poised to pounce!
Chen Kong and the others certainly wouldn't dare to hit these animals. Chu Chenzi repeatedly scolded Liang Xiaoru, "Xiaoru! Shut up! Mr. Gao Jianfei was just saying it; who said he had to do 'that' with you? Besides, if he really did make that request, you...you'd have to comply!"
…… …… ……
Furthermore, after Gao Jianfei left the boutique dog shop, he found an uninhabited flowerbed area in the neighborhood, and under the cover of the trees, he sneaked into the ghost den, removed all his disguises, and then leisurely returned home.
When he got home, he didn't say much. He went online for a while, then took a shower and cuddled Chen Xian to sleep.
Early the next morning, Monk Chenkong and the others arrived at Gao Jianfei's house in a proper manner, said a lot of polite words, and then expressed that as long as Gao Jianfei said the word, they were willing to help Gao Jianfei accomplish anything within their capabilities!
Very sincere!
Moreover, when they looked at Gao Jianfei, their eyes were filled with deep apprehension, and even some fear.
Gao Jianfei feigned ignorance and said, "Haha, very well! Since my family has already cooperated with the 33 ancient martial arts sects you represent, then from now on we are all in the same boat. By the way, last night, my family elders didn't use threats or other means to force you to cooperate, did they? I don't like to force others to do anything; my conscience wouldn't allow it!"
"No! No! We agreed to the cooperation willingly!" Chen Kong and the others hurriedly replied.
"Heh, that's good." Gao Jianfei nodded with a smile.
With nothing else to do, Chen Kong and the others decided it was inconvenient to stay in ZG City any longer, so they bid farewell to Gao Jianfei. As they were leaving, Wudang Sect Leader Chu Chenzi whispered to Gao Jianfei, "Mr. Gao, you have taken a liking to Liang Xiaoru from our sect. Your family elders have already conveyed this to us. If Mr. Gao insists, then I can order Xiaoru to accompany you."
Gao Jianfei suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "This... I don't need it for now. I'll tell you when I need it!"
Liang Xiaoru heard these words clearly. She breathed a long sigh of relief and fled from the Gao family with Lao Pang, Chu Chenzi, and the others as if they were escaping a disaster.
After everyone left, Gao Jianfei looked at the calendar. There were still 20 days until his genius challenge against Feng Haoyu!
It's safe to say the competition is now in its final countdown!
During this time, Gao Jianfei also went online to read the news. He saw that Feng Haoyu had transformed into an outstanding Western medicine doctor, and recently, he had been providing free medical treatment to patients all over the world. Without exception, every patient he treated recovered completely. Therefore, he earned the title of "miracle doctor." Furthermore, Feng Haoyu registered with the World Gambling Association, becoming a gambling expert! He defeated the current world's number two gambling god and took his place! According to data from the World Gambling Association, his various indicators have surpassed those of the former world's number one gambling god, Chen Yifeng!
Therefore, a saying began to circulate in the gambling world... Feng Haoyu will surely become the world's number one gambling god! Because he is too talented, too monstrous!
