After dinner, he played on the computer for a while, said goodbye to Chen Xian and his family, lied that he had something to do outside, and then secretly entered the haunted house, put on a disguise, and went directly into the boutique dog shop!
"Gah... everyone... since you've all been waiting for so long, let's sit down and have a good chat!" Gao Jianfei's face seemed to have lost all its nerves; he didn't move his mouth but made sounds using ventriloquism.
"Hiss!" Master Chen Kong broke out in a cold sweat. He stammered, "It's...it's...it's ventriloquism! It's the legendary ventriloquism!"
Ventriloquism does exist in today's society. However, it can only be considered a performance skill. Those skilled in ventriloquism can at most utter a simple sentence or two, or a few indistinct words. They certainly can't speak continuously like Gao Jianfei! Moreover, his speech is relatively clear, not much different from spoken language!
This was something that Master Chenkong and the others had never heard of before!
"Hehehe... Everyone, why are you standing there like idiots? Perhaps you don't welcome this old man?" Gao Jianfei continued speaking in ventriloquism. He also released a suitable amount of pressure! His gaze held a mixture of violent, murderous aura! Of course, this aura couldn't compare to that of the real Duan Yanqing, but it was more than enough to intimidate these terrified guys in front of him!
"ah!"
Sensing the icy aura emanating from Gao Jianfei's side, Chen Kong, Chu Chenzi, and the others felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast for no reason! Their hearts trembled and their legs went weak!
Old Pang, helpless, carried Liang Xiaoru and hid under a large tree, not daring to look at Gao Jianfei again. Because, when their eyes met, he truly felt that Gao Jianfei could kill him with a mere thought! He felt like he was about to vomit blood and collapse!
Of course, the reason why Gao Jianfei was able to exert substantial pressure on these people was entirely due to the huge difference in their martial arts skills.
Having learned Duan Yanqing's martial arts, Gao Jianfei could now kill the people in front of him with a mere thought.
"This... So you are an elder of Mr. Gao's family... Please sit, please sit! Please sit down quickly!" Chen Kong and the others stood up and respectfully bowed to Gao Jianfei, then invited him to sit down.
Gao Jianfei let out a strange, cackling laugh from his abdomen, slammed his iron crutch on the ground, and leaped into the air like a large bird, floating lightly like a falling leaf to a chair next to Chen Kong and sitting down.
This display of lightness skill left Chen Kong and the others dumbfounded once again!
"Hehe... Everyone, please sit down..." Gao Jianfei sneered in his mind.
"Yes, yes." Chen Kong and the others were now certain of one thing... This ugly fellow before them was far too powerful in martial arts! Far too powerful!
Previously, Chen Kong and the others had never met a true master who had achieved success in internal martial arts. As the leaders of their respective sects, they were inevitably somewhat arrogant, believing that they were already powerful enough. But now, after meeting Gao Jianfei, they realized what it meant to be a frog in a well!
"You all sit down too!" Gao Jianfei urged impatiently. His tone carried a hint of arrogant self-importance.
"Yes!" The four leaders of ancient martial arts sects dared not disobey and sat down tremblingly.
"I am Jianfei's elder!" Gao Jianfei said coldly through ventriloquism. "I heard from Jianfei that the 33 ancient internal martial arts sects you represent want to cooperate with our family. Heh heh... Today, the family has sent me as their representative to negotiate with you. As your elder, let me hear your opinions first!"
Gao Jianfei acted extremely arrogantly! He even acted like an elder!
In fact, judging from Duan Yanqing's ugly and numb face, he is at most in his forties. It is indeed somewhat insulting for him to call himself an elder in front of Monk Chenkong and others!
Although Chen Kong and the others were completely at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, they still possessed the integrity of a grandmaster.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency is rather... rather... rather..." Master Chenkong coughed lightly. "This humble monk is exactly 130 years old this year, and for Your Excellency to address me as an elder... this is... rather... rather ridiculous..."
"Hmph!" Gao Jianfei's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "We martial artists respect strength above all else! What do we care about age? My martial arts are superior to yours, so naturally I am your senior! If you are not convinced, you are welcome to spar with me!"
"Bang!"
Gao Jianfei slammed his iron crutch on the ground, and a surge of internal force blasted through the crutch, causing a small crack in the marble floor, creating a spiderweb-like pattern, and sending stone chips flying everywhere!
"This..." Chen Kong and the others were so frightened by the power Gao Jianfei had revealed that they fell silent! Moreover, this "ugly elder" seemed to be completely unreasonable and extremely cruel, not someone to be trifled with at all!
"You're not at a disadvantage calling me 'senior,' are you?" Gao Jianfei's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he coldly swept his gaze over Chen Kong and the others.
Chen Kong and the others shivered, goosebumps rising all over their bodies!
"Yes! We greatly admire your martial arts skills, senior!" Finally, Abbess Shanshui admitted defeat.
"Senior's martial arts are truly... truly breathtaking." There was no way around it; those who practice martial arts do indeed value strength above all else. Even the 130-year-old Master Chenkong had to address Gao Jianfei as "Senior."
Gao Jianfei nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, you juniors keep saying you want to cooperate with our family, but where is your sincerity? What qualifications do you have to cooperate with our family?"
After a pause, Gao Jianfei added, "Our family has always lived a secluded life, like hermits among the clouds. Although wiping out your ancient martial arts sects would be as easy as turning one's hand, we would never stoop to such a move! Now, if it weren't for the people from the Holy Land coveting my junior Jianfei's beast-taming secrets, our family wouldn't have sent me to negotiate with you. While our family has many experts, we don't want to get too involved in vendettas and conflicts. Therefore, we do need some allies. But what qualifications do you have to be our family's allies?"
Upon hearing Gao Jianfei's statement that his family had no ambition to destroy the ancient martial arts sects, Chen Kong and the others breathed a sigh of relief!
Chen Kong, sweating profusely, said, "Senior, Mr. Gao must have told you that his conflict with the Holy Land is almost irreconcilable. The Holy Land is a transcendent force that kills people like dirt. Whatever they want, they will stop at nothing to seize it..."
"Hmph! I understand everything you've said, and my family has also expressed its willingness to cooperate with you to fight against the powerful and domineering Holy Land. However, I need you to provide something to prove that you are worth cooperating with!"
Gao Jianfei spoke coldly using ventriloquism.
Originally, it was several ancient martial arts sects that wanted to probe the power of Gao Jianfei's family; now, the situation has reversed, and Gao Jianfei has taken the initiative to interrogate these ancient martial arts sects about their power!
…… …… ……
at the same time!
The four disciples of the Holy Land, Junyi and Shao Cong, who had been guarding outside the community, had already slipped into the community!
"Three senior brothers, there's a premium dog shop in this neighborhood. After observing for the past few days, I think you all know the area like the back of your hand! This afternoon, I saw several martial arts masters from ancient martial arts sects enter the neighborhood and go into that premium dog shop. They haven't come out yet! Now it's late at night, let's go straight into that premium dog shop and slaughter those ignorant internal martial arts masters!" A blood-red killing intent surged in the handsome senior brother's eyes!
These guys had just finished their training at the sacred ground and were out there to gain experience. After killing dozens of ancient martial arts masters, they had become addicted to killing!
That's true. They've been in this boring place called the Holy Land for over twenty years, completely out of touch with society. Their minds have become more or less twisted and abnormal!
Chapter 404 This old man will cover for you!
Chapter 404 This old man will cover for you!
Nanhu International Community. Inside Gao Jianfei's boutique dog shop.
After meeting with the leaders of several major internal martial arts schools, Gao Jianfei slightly revealed some of his skills and then used his aura to coerce the monks, Taoists, and nuns who had originally come to test the power of Gao Jianfei's family. They were immediately intimidated.
"Tell me, what exactly do you have that makes our family willing to do us a favor and cooperate with you?" Gao Jianfei said coldly in his mind.
"This... Senior, please hear me out..." the old monk Chen Kong stammered. "It's like this, Senior. In terms of martial arts, our ancient martial arts sects are definitely inferior to the Holy Land, and far inferior to your and Mr. Gao's families. However, Senior, take our Shaolin sect for example. We have a long history, a rich heritage, and some connections. Currently, there are 987 shaved-headed martial monks in the temple. Lay disciples who practice with their hair are spread throughout the provinces and cities of China, and some have even settled abroad. The number of lay disciples is over 5,000! These lay disciples, because they possess a foundation in ancient martial arts, generally mingle in the middle and upper echelons of society. Senior, think about it, even if such a force is relatively weak in martial arts, it can probably still provide some assistance in transmitting information and providing financial support, right?"
Although their martial arts skills are lacking, they have several thousand Shaolin disciples scattered all over the world. Moreover, these disciples are not from the bottom of society in terms of status and wealth; they are at least middle class, and some are even from the upper class!
This is the essence of Shaolin Temple! The essence of an ancient martial arts school with a history of over a thousand years!
Gao Jianfei's face was unusually blank, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
At this moment, Chuchenzi, the leader of the Wudang Sect, quickly interjected, "Senior, in terms of history, our Wudang Sect cannot compare with the Shaolin Sect. However, there are over a thousand Taoist priests in the Wudang Mountain Taoist temples, and as for lay disciples, there are over 5,000!"
Hong Shanfeng laughed loudly, "Senior, speaking of numbers, which sect in history, or even now, has more members than our Beggars' Sect?" He felt that having more members was a major advantage for the Beggars' Sect!
Master Shanshui of Mount Wutai said weakly, "Senior, our Qingjing Nunnery on Mount Wutai is no match for Shaolin, Wudang, or the Beggar Clan. We only have a little over 1,000 disciples."
Gao Jianfei pondered to himself that the 33 ancient martial arts sects, led by Shaolin and Wudang, had a combined membership of tens of thousands. If these people were united and worked together as a cohesive force, their power would not be to be underestimated!
Therefore, in his heart, Gao Jianfei had indeed fully agreed to form an alliance with the 33 ancient martial arts sects!
Just as Gao Jianfei was about to agree, his ears twitched slightly! Then, a loud barking erupted from the elite kennel! Instantly, the whimpers of several giant dogs could be heard!
"Waaah..." "Bang! Bang!"
The bodies of two German Shepherds and one Dogo Argentino had been thrown directly into the backyard! A faint white frost mist clung to the corpses of the three dogs!
He died from... the Frosty Palm!
At the same time, Gao Jianfei's soul trembled slightly three times, emitting three cracking sounds similar to shattering glass. The three large dogs that had just died were fighting dogs that Gao Jianfei had created after possessing with a level 1 ghost!
"Don't fight the enemy head-on! Retreat to the garden! Don't bark! Don't disturb the residents in the community!" Gao Jianfei quickly used his mind to command the other fighting dogs in the dog shop.
In an instant, a pack of fighting dogs, led by the Tibetan Mastiff, fled in panic into the garden, hiding behind Gao Jianfei, their eyes coldly fixed on the garden entrance.
"Senior! There's an enemy!" Chen Kong and the others reacted immediately and realized that a master with refined aura had entered the garden!
Gao Jianfei was furious... Damn it, it must be those four disciples from the Holy Land who are skilled in the Frost Palm technique! They actually broke into a private residence and killed several of my Level 1 Ghosts! Fine, very well! Today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!
Anyone who dares to force their way into this community is considered a target for death by Gao Jianfei! After all, this is Gao Jianfei's family's paradise, and he will not allow any expert in internal martial arts to forcibly break in!
However, Gao Jianfei was now wearing a human skin mask, his facial muscles resembling dead fish skin. His anger was not expressed through facial expressions; he simply stared at the garden entrance with a sinister gaze.
Chen Kong and the others were somewhat frightened, and their bodies involuntarily shrank towards Gao Jianfei. This was a subconscious instinct to seek protection!
Suddenly, four figures appeared in the garden, lined up in a row under the moonlight and lamplight!
These are Junyi, Shao Cong, and other disciples of the Holy Land!
This was also the first time that Chen Kong and the others had come into face-to-face contact with the disciples of the Holy Land, and they all carefully examined each other.
"Wow! So young! And so arrogant! His face exudes an air of haughtiness and arrogance, a domineering presence that looks down on the world and holds the power of life and death! What a domineering person!"
These masters of internal martial arts have gained a direct understanding.
"Woo woo... woo woo..." The Tibetan Mastiffs and other large dogs behind Gao Jianfei let out angry low growls.
"Huh?" Senior Brother Junyi was stunned. He saw Gao Jianfei sitting calmly in the chair, his face ashen, which startled Junyi and the other three disciples of the Holy Land! When they were observing outside the community, they did not see such a person enter the boutique dog shop!
"Who are you? You're just playing tricks!" Of course, although Gao Jianfei's appearance was frightening, it didn't scare the daring and skilled disciples of the Holy Land.
Gao Jianfei snorted coldly, ignoring the four disciples of the Holy Land, but the killing intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger!
"Hmph! This time, the Holy Land has dispatched a large number of disciples to hunt down and intercept those disciples of internal martial arts schools throughout the country. These four are just four inexperienced disciples among them! Today, I will kill these four disciples, and the Holy Land will not easily find out that they are dead!"
That's right. These four disciples have just finished their training at the Holy Land and are out here to gain experience. If they die somewhere, as long as the bodies are destroyed and the evidence is covered up, the higher-ups at the Holy Land won't find out in a short time!
To put it bluntly, these four disciples are merely figures at the bottom of the pyramid in the Holy Land, and are not worth paying attention to!
Seeing Gao Jianfei's disdainful attitude, the four disciples of the Holy Land also turned completely indifferent. Junyi sighed and said, "Fine, you strange man, you're going to die anyway, I'll ignore you for now." After saying that, he didn't look at Gao Jianfei again, but turned his gaze to Chen Kong and the others. Junyi's voice was extremely stern. "What are you guys from ancient martial arts sects doing here again? Looking for Gao Jianfei? Even now, you still covet Gao Jianfei's beast-taming secrets? You're truly ungrateful! Insolent! Utterly foolish! What are you? What ability do you have to share such ancient secret techniques? I'm telling you, you're all doomed now. Blame it on your greed! Going against our Holy Land, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Shao Cong also chimed in from the side, "Senior Brother Junyi, why don't we just return to the Holy Land, inform the Venerable One, and have him issue an order to wipe out all these trashy ancient martial arts sects! They're just too annoying! Wipe them out, wipe them out, wipe them all out!"
Four disciples of the Holy Land pronounced the death sentence on Chen Kong and the others right before their eyes!
Moreover, they were discussing returning to the sacred land to propose the annihilation of the current ancient martial arts sects!
mad!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Gao Jianfei didn't rush to speak; he wanted to see how Chen Kong and the others would react.
Although Chen Kong and the others were also afraid of the Holy Land, being scolded and reprimanded to their faces by these young disciples, who were shouting threats of violence as if they were being treated like animals, enraged them! They were completely furious!
What they couldn't tolerate was that these guys still harbored the idea of destroying all the current internal martial arts schools!
"Fellow benefactors, your murderous aura is far too heavy!" Chen Kong roared angrily. "It's as if you are the masters of this world, killing people with a mere word! You treat human life like dirt! We've seen the Holy Land mentioned in the notes of our ancestors. We used to think it was a mysterious and great place, transcending the mundane world, ethereal like immortals. We used to admire and yearn for it. But now, seeing it, it's truly... chilling! Hmph! What's the difference between the people of the Holy Land and demons?"
"Enough with the nonsense! In this world, the strong rule. If your martial arts are weak, you're nothing but pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep!" Junyi said coldly. "There's no need for further words. Now, let us deal with you ants!"
Suddenly, the four disciples of the Holy Land were enveloped in icy true energy, and it seemed that cold air was beginning to radiate from their bodies!
The Frosty Palm technique was about to strike!
To be honest, although Junyi and the other three were very skilled in martial arts, they weren't entirely confident they could kill Chen Kong and Chu Chenzi, the older generation who led a sect. Therefore, they dared not be careless.
Here, Chen Kong, Chu Chenzi, Hong Shanfeng, and Master Shanshui, filled with righteous indignation, went out to meet them, gathering all their strength, ready for a fierce battle!
Gao Jianfei coldly said in his mind, "Very well, let this old man see the martial arts of you masters of internal martial arts schools! Hmm, you can fight boldly without holding back or being afraid. With this old man covering for you, what are you worried about?"
These bold words were indeed like four injections of tranquilizers, instantly injecting into the blood of Chen Kong and the others, giving them a boost of spirits.
