There was no light in the dark night, but under the effect of Dao Qi, I could see the situation in the room clearly.
On a large extravagant bed, a middle-aged man in a nightgown sat cross-legged. He wasn't sleeping, but was meditating instead. The Dao Qi fluctuations on his body were very obvious.
This surprised me. Zhang Bingcheng's talent was extremely poor. He was barely at the early stage of Glory of Knowledge. He couldn't even compare to his nephew, Zhang Kanwen. Up until now, he was only half-dead in his position as the president of the Meizhou branch. I thought that people like him would have no desires and just eat and wait for death. I didn't expect him to be so hardworking. He was sitting alone on the bed in the middle of the night and cultivating.
However, it made sense. If he really had no desires, he wouldn't have colluded with the Lu family and attacked his fellow sect members.
However, it was impossible for me to launch a sneak attack. When a Fengshui Master was meditating and cultivating, their spiritual senses were at their sharpest. Even if I had the dark green energy to hide my presence, I would have to break the window if I wanted to enter the room. It would inevitably cause a commotion, so it was impossible for me to not alert him.
However, it didn't matter. I had already sensed that there was no one else in the three-story villa besides Zhang Bingcheng.
He was merely at the early stage of one meridian Glory of Knowledge. It wouldn't be impossible for him to attack.
With that thought, I extended my hand and pressed on the window. With a slight force, the window shattered and a large hole appeared.
At the same time, Zhang Bingcheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed. He looked at the side of the bed warily.
I extended my hand to clear the glass shards by the side of the window before jumping in. I looked up at him and asked, "You are Zhang Bingcheng?"
Zhang Bingcheng looked at me with a malicious gaze. He didn't answer but asked in reply, "You are the person who killed Fifth Master Lu a few days ago and stole the inherited instrument of Wenshan's lineage?"
I smiled. "I don't know who Fifth Master Lu is, but I killed Lu Zifeng and saved Old Master Zhao."
Zhang Bingcheng's gaze darkened, but I didn't see any fear. Instead, he jumped off the bed and looked up at me. He asked with a faint smile, "So, you are Zhou Yi, right?"
His abrupt words startled me. I thought that they wouldn't be able to find out my identity so quickly. I didn't think that they would find out so quickly.
Seeing my silence, Zhang Bingcheng smirked evilly.
"It's really you. These days, I've investigated all the relationships between Zhao Dingwu and his two disciples. Zhang Kanwen and the other two were with you a few days ago, and you defeated several people in the Glory of Consciousness realm in the Metaphysics Exchange Competition between Guangdong and Nanyang. You have this kind of strength, and you seem to have a grudge against the Lu Family … It looks like you have all the conditions, but I'm still a little curious. You're just a junior in the Touch of Acupoints realm. Why are you interfering in this matter? Are you tired of living?"
I raised my eyebrows and looked at Zhang Bingcheng in shock. Since he knew that I had defeated several people in the Glory of Consciousness realm and killed Lu Zifeng, he should know that I had the ability to kill those in the early stages of the Glory of Consciousness realm. Why was he so confident in his words?
Uneasiness rose in my heart. I stood still and quickly used my Dao energy to sense the surrounding situation. After realizing that there was nothing abnormal, I heaved a sigh of relief. I looked up at Zhang Bingcheng again and sneered. "I should be the one asking you this. You were raised and supported by Old Master Zhao since you were young, and you're related to Zhang Kanwen and his brother. You colluded with outsiders to destroy your own sect and did so many evil things. Are you tired of living and purposely attracted the wrath of the heavens?"
Zhang Bingcheng smiled in disdain. "Wrath of the heavens?
Zhao Dingwu messed up the sect. He's just a cripple, but he didn't pass the sect's inheritance to me. Instead, he held it in his hands for dozens of years. He ignored the thousand-year-old tradition of Wenshan and casually dealt with the inheritance. If we're talking about wrath of the heavens, he's the one receiving wrath of the heavens! "
He was no longer calm. His voice was ferocious as he coldly said, "Of course, he has already received the wrath of the heavens."
I shook my head. Old Master Zhao was right. Jealousy and greed had completely twisted Zhang Bingcheng.
Without waiting for me to speak, Zhang Bingcheng grinned fiendishly and said, "You ignorant child. You're not a disciple of Wenshan, but you want to presume the internal affairs of Wenshan.
You only know that Zhao Dingwu has been supporting Wenshan all these years, but do you know that it was him who killed my brother in order to seize the inheritance of Wenshan? My father also died of depression because of this news.
Fortunately, the heavens have eyes. That shameless thief also destroyed his own cultivation. That's why he didn't succeed in the end.
As an outsider, you don't know the truth of the past, but you still fantasize about upholding justice for others. It's really ridiculous! "
His words made me shake my head again. Although he wasn't wrong and I didn't know the inside story of the past, I still had the basic ability to judge. Old Master Zhao wasn't a fool. If it was really as he said, to plot against Zhang Bingxian in order to obtain the inheritance of Wenshan, would he have destroyed his own cultivation and talent in the end?
Moreover, after experiencing so many things, would he have given the inheritance of Wenshan to Zhang Kanwen and his brother?
Zhang Bingcheng's words didn't hold water.
I shook my head and took out the Yin Yang Yama Brush. I coldly said to him, "What's right and wrong has its own proof. Today, I've come to kill you. Although you've committed countless crimes, you're still a disciple of Wenshan. Today, I'll use this inherited magic tool of Wenshan to take your life!"
As soon as I said that, Zhang Bingcheng didn't show weakness. He lifted his foot and took a step forward. He raised his hand and also took out a wintersweet branch magic tool. He replied disdainfully, "Ignorant child, do you really think I'm trash like Lu Zifeng?
Enough nonsense. Hand over your life! "
As he said that, he threw the magic tool in his hand into the air. In a flash, it turned into dozens of phantoms that attacked me. The dried branch magic tool had several blood-red plum blossoms. Under the continuous phantoms, they formed a blood-red shadow. It looked extremely horrifying.
In a flash, I recalled that Old Master Zhao had mentioned his master, Daoist Xuemei. It was likely that Zhang Bingcheng's magic tool had been inherited from his father.
Zhang Bingcheng's arrogant words and the dozens of phantoms had a majestic aura. I didn't dare to underestimate him. I called out Tong Tong while drawing in dao energy. The Yin Yang Yama Brush in my hand condensed a Yin Yang fish that blocked in front of me. I wanted to first block his attack and let Tong Tong find an opportunity to counterattack.
Unexpectedly, when the Yin Yang fish collided with the phantoms of Zhang Bingcheng's magic tool, the incomparably majestic phantoms collapsed at the first contact. It only caused a few ripples on the Yin Yang fish.
I was stunned. I hadn't expected such an outcome. On the other hand, Tong Tong didn't have any distractions. The two black threads in his hand had already been thrown out when we were fighting. At this moment, they were coiled around the dried branch magic tool in Zhang Bingcheng's hand. A thick black aura was released from the black threads. In the blink of an eye, it completely covered the magic tool in Zhang Bingcheng's hand.
Zhang Bingcheng was also a hoodlum. He directly threw the magic tool on the ground and reached for an ancient book on his body. He flipped open the book and threw it forward, using it as a shield. Then, he ran in the direction of the door.
I was even more dumbfounded. Just now, he had talked big. I thought that I would have to fight a bitter battle tonight. I hadn't expected that in less than a minute, Zhang Bingcheng would choose to escape!
By the time I reacted, this guy had already rushed to the door.
I hurriedly pulled the Yin Yang fish to the front of the ancient book magic tool to block it. Then, I shouted at Tong Tong to chase after him.
Tong Tong's speed was much faster than mine. With a flash of black light, she had already caught up to the door. The two black threads in her hands shot out once again, wrapping around Zhang Bingcheng's body and pulling him back.
However, Zhang Bingcheng was not a complete weakling. As his body was pulled back, he formed a seal with his hands and took a step forward. Then, a majestic force rose from the soles of his feet, directly breaking the two threads in his pupils and stabilizing his body.
However, I had already reached the door. The Pure Yang Ye Fire was already burning on my fingertips. Together with Tong Tong, they blocked Zhang Bingcheng's path of retreat.
The corner of my mouth raised. Just as I was about to speak, Zhang Chengcheng laughed first. He looked at me in disdain and said, "You really are an ignorant child. Lu Chengping will arrive in half a minute. If you want to kill this old man, you still have half a minute. You can try to kill me before Lu Chengping arrives."
What?
The smile on my face froze. I focused and sensed carefully. As expected, there was an extremely strong fluctuation of Dao energy that was rapidly approaching!
