CHAPTER 1113: CHAPTER 1113: LENG RUOBING’S TRANSFORMATION

Xiao Zheng sat in his seat at this moment, his brows slightly furrowed, looking at Zheng Shenyou lying on the ground like a dead dog, contemplating whether to kill him.

Killing Zheng Shenyou was naturally a very simple matter, but Zheng Shenyou obviously had a master, who must also be a Martial Saint.

If Zheng Shenyou were killed, the opponent might come to trouble him. A Martial Saint is extremely difficult to deal with, which can be very troublesome.

Disabling his meridians could be explained as a way to deal with Zheng Shenyou offending his dignity. But if he kills him, the nature of the situation would entirely change.

Even if the Martial Saint didn’t want to be involved with worldly disputes, he would have to take action.

"Forget it, I don’t want to make more enemies," Xiao Zheng looked down at Zheng Shenyou, "As long as you promise not to trouble the Hong Family from now on, I can spare your life."

Zheng Shenyou, with all his meridians broken and his Dantian destroyed, was already a cripple. He originally thought he was bound to die, but hearing this sentence left him stunned.

Upon hearing that there was a chance to live, Zheng Shenyou nodded without hesitation and said, "Rest assured, as long as you spare me, I won’t trouble the Hong Family again."

Xiao Zheng replied with a faint smile, "I hope you can keep your word. But even if you bring your master over, I am not afraid. At worst, we can fight again."

Zheng Shenyou, however, showed a bitter smile.

Would his master, a Martial Saint, really take action?

Even if the Martial Saint was his master, it was impossible!

Martial Saints are like Divine Dragons in the nine heavens, standing at the Martial Arts Peak. They have long transcended worldly love and hate; their only goal is to reach a higher realm!

Just like in those sacred martial arts places, each has a few Martial Saints, but they would only show up in situations of life and death, or impending annihilation.

Unless he gets killed by Xiao Zheng, his master would never strike against another Martial Saint over such trivial matters.

This is almost an unspoken rule in the Martial Arts World, and Xiao Zheng naturally understood this, so he wasn’t worried at all.

Of course, Xiao Zheng also wasn’t afraid.

Even if the Martial Saint really did come looking for him, Xiao Zheng wasn’t necessarily unable to defeat him. Having fused twelve pieces of Golden Bone, Xiao Zheng had already walked far beyond the realm of Martial Saints.

"Since you can spare my life, how dare I hold a grudge against you?" Zheng Shenyou said, "I will take my leave now!"

Zheng Shenyou struggled to stand up and began to walk outside.

Although he had been completely crippled by Xiao Zheng, he was still a Great Grandmaster, with a remarkable physical constitution.

Walking wasn’t a problem, and at this moment, Zheng Shenyou’s state was even stronger than that of an average person.

Hong Wuxing saw this scene, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Zheng Shenyou not being dead remained a great threat, and this was a good chance to get rid of him.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. Even a master like Xiao Zheng only crippled his body and didn’t kill him, suggesting Zheng Shenyou might have someone supporting him!

If he were killed, the consequences would be endless, possibly bringing a more terrifying disaster to the Hong Family.

Seeing Zheng Shenyou leaving, Hong Wuxing didn’t stand up but directly crawled over to Xiao Zheng, bowing his head and saying:

"Little old me didn’t know Taishan when you arrived, thinking you were just a young lad, and ignored you. It was truly shameful! For you to help us against Zheng Shenyou in such circumstances shows how generous you are, making me feel abashed. Please forgive my earlier disrespect, sir."

Hong Sanquan, seeing this, also mimicked his father’s actions, kowtowing to Xiao Zheng in admiration and awe, saying, "Please forgive my disrespect, sir."

Xiao Zheng wasn’t a petty person, so seeing their sincere apology, he smiled and said, "Alright, get up. It’s just a small matter; I don’t mind."

...

By this time, the crisis of the Hong Family was resolved, with Hong Sanquan and Hong Wuxing treating Xiao Zheng with reverence and gratitude, pleading for him to stay in order to thank him. However, Xiao Zheng departed gracefully.

...

After leaving the Hong Family, Zheng Shenyou left Zhonghai City and went overseas.

His eyes showed a vicious intent, thinking, "Although I’m not sure if my master will take action, I must still try. Humph, the Hong Family and that Xiao Zheng, I will certainly kill you."

While at the Hong Family, Zheng Shenyou had overheard a conversation between Hong Sanquan and Hong Wuxing, thus learning Xiao Zheng’s real name.

...

After leaving the Hong Family, Xiao Zheng returned to Yunlan Villa. It was already nighttime, the sky full of stars, with a layer of eerie blue mist shrouding the surroundings of Yunlan Villa.

Xiao Zheng was about to go to sleep, but as he passed by a small grove near the villa, he suddenly stopped, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Leng Ruobing was sitting cross-legged in the grove, her breathing steady, her body seemingly enveloped in a soft glow.

That was starlight falling upon her.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed different from the faint starlight; the hazy glow appeared to emanate from within Leng Ruobing.

At this moment, Leng Ruobing appeared like a radiant fairy descending from the nine heavens, filled with ethereal fairy-like charm, utterly captivating.

If such breathtaking beauty were captured in a photograph, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation; those celebrities couldn’t compare.

However, what surprised Xiao Zheng wasn’t this.

"It seems Leng Ruobing has already glimpsed the path!" Xiao Zheng’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

As a Martial Saint with keen intuition, he could sense a faint airflow within Leng Ruobing, emanating from her Dantian, then beginning to circulate along her meridians.

"She truly is a genius; she’s only been practicing the Muscle Strengthening Scripture for a few days! Yet she can already sense aura and produce a trace of True Qi."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but marvel.

True Qi.

This is an energy one level lower than Gang Qi.

Only those who have entered the Innate Realm can produce Gang Qi, while those who haven’t entered it have True Qi flowing within them.

Even so, it’s quite astounding, as not even some Peak Soldier King level individuals can produce True Qi.

In the Martial Arts World, True Qi is something that one rarely encounters, possessed only by true geniuses. It’s also known by another name.

The token to the Innate Realm!

With True Qi, the future possibility of stepping into the Innate Realm is almost ninety percent certain.
