Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 104 - 103 Iron Arms Zhou Tong [Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites]

Chapter 104: Chapter 103 Iron Arms Zhou Tong [Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites]

Two speedboats raced towards them, cutting through the calm, mirror-like surface of the river, leaving behind parallel streaks of white wake.

Zhang Mingyuan, hearing the sound of the speedboats, instinctively went to the window to look out.

"Master Zheng, they have arrived!"

Zheng Qian remained seated calmly at his fishing spot, waved his hand and said, "Boss Zhang, stay calm and don’t be anxious. If they know what’s good for them, I will spare them. Otherwise, my Shaolin Bone Splitting Hand and Arhat Fist will ensure they come in upright and leave horizontally!"

"Ha ha, Zheng Qian, such arrogance in your tone!"

Before his words had even settled, a deep, masculine tenor voice drifted in with the wind.

As the final note hung in the air, the sound of "tap tap tap" footsteps came from the staircase entrance.

The leader was a man in his forties, short in stature, probably only about 150 centimeters tall. However, his eyes sparkled with a sharp and ruthless gleam.

Following closely was a burly man with a crab-like walk, exuding an imposing presence as he moved.

Li Chen also noticed that the man’s arms were thicker than those of average persons, no doubt due to years of training in external Kung Fu.

Seeing the visitors, Zhang Mingyuan immediately stood up.

"Boss Wang, it has been a while!"

The man referred to as Boss Wang was named Wang Tianxiong. Despite his short stature, his methods were not to be underestimated.

Wang Tianxiong, with a cold expression that seemed to be smiling but not really smiling, said, "Boss Zhang, I didn’t expect you to really have the guts to come to this meeting. I must say, I admire you, truly admire you!"

Zhang Mingyuan disliked Wang Tianxiong’s attitude while speaking, and not wanting to beat around the bush, got directly to the point, "Boss Wang, let’s not beat around the bush, just say it: what will it take for you to leave us alone?"

Wang Tianxiong smirked and said, "I like the straight talk. As long as you transfer the rights to Jiangxin Island over to me, we can still be friends!"

As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at his bodyguard.

The bodyguard, understanding the cue, took out a contract from a black briefcase and handed it over.

Zhang Mingyuan quickly glanced at the contract and saw the transfer rights for the entire block of land amounted to merely thirty-million yuan, causing him to erupt in fury.

"Wang, you’re going too far. Just the auction to win this land cost me three-hundred and fifty-million, and now you expect to swallow up this land for only thirty-million. Aren’t you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

Wang Tianxiong raised his eyebrows and grinned hideously, "There’s no need for you to worry about me, brother. My teeth are perfectly fine. Just give me a straight answer: do you agree or not?"

Zhang Mingyuan clenched his teeth and shouted, "Wang Tianxiong, don’t push people too far!"

Wang Tianxiong stood his ground with fierce eyes.

"It’s you who is going too far. You know that Jiangxin Island is within Tongzhou, not your Donghua. You were the ones who reached out so far in the first place, and now you blame me?"

Zhang Mingyuan said, "What if I don’t agree?"

A cold murderous intent flashed in Wang Tianxiong’s narrowed eyes.

"If you don’t agree, you will die!"

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense like drawn bows, Zheng Qian suddenly struck the table and shouted angrily, "What a big talker! Today I want to see who dares to kill someone in front of me, Zheng Qian!"

At this moment, Zhou Tong flexed his steely arms with ferocity, saying, "There are two kids indeed, but they’re not even worth my attention."

Two hot-tempered disciples from Zheng Qian’s school, seeing Zhou Tong behaving too arrogantly, wanted to step forward and teach him a lesson.

Zhou Tong swung his iron arms, creating a fierce wind, and directly met the challenge with a Sweeping Thousands of Army stance.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bones breaking suddenly echoed, sending chills down the spine.

The two disciples, like kites with broken strings, flew stiffly backwards. Their chests were sunken in, ribs broken at least in six places; judging from the injuries, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would likely be left with lifelong disabilities.

Seeing Zhou Tong KO two of Zheng Qian’s top disciples with a single punch, everyone’s hearts shook with fright.

Wang Tianxiong clapped his hands, looking pleased, and said, "What a good fist technique, Master Zhou!"

Zhou Tong cracked his knuckles disdainfully, "Just a bunch of trash, like slaughtering dogs!"

Wang Tianxiong, elated, gave Zhang Mingyuan a provocative look.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think of Master Zhou’s fist technique? Isn’t it miles above Donghua’s?"

Zhang Mingyuan glared furiously and shouted, "Wang Tianxiong, don’t be so smug. Don’t think you’re the only one with an Inner Strength Master!"

Having said that, he turned to Zheng Qian and bowed, "Master Zheng, it’s time for you to take action!"

Zheng Qian, seeing Zhou Tong taking down his prized disciples with a single punch, was also terrified.

It seemed he had underestimated Zhou Tong. In a one-on-one fight, he really didn’t have complete confidence in his victory.

But now, with the arrow on the bowstring, he had no choice but to shoot, so he braced himself and took a stand.

"Donghua’s Zheng Family Martial Arts Hall’s Zheng Qian, here to learn from your distinguished techniques!"

Zhou Tong eyed Zheng Qian with a mocking smile, "Not bad, finally a decent opponent. Just in time to stretch my muscles!"

"Hmph, arrogant, today I’ll show you the true Shaolin Fist Method!"

Filled with indignation, Zheng Qian channeled his Inner Strength, leaped into the air, and executed the Arhat Fist’s Fifth Form: Jumping Step Splitting Heart Fist.

Facing Zheng Qian’s powerful assault, Zhou Tong without dodging, raised his arms to meet the attack head-on.

"Clang!"

"Crash and bang!"

The impact of fist on elbow rang out with a crisp metallic clang.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a dozen strikes. The spectators could only see two shadows interweaving, each punch and kick laden with a whistling fierceness.

Tables and vases in front of them were already being torn apart into pieces, turning the scene into complete disarray.

Even the entire Immortal Crane Building began to totter as if it could collapse any moment, with yellow clay tiles from the roof falling like rain.

The more Zhang Mingyuan watched, the more terrified he became, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

He knew Wang Tianxiong’s nature well - he was ruthlessly cruel and would not leave anyone intact after devouring them. If Zheng Qian lost, there would be no escape for him.

Even Zheng Rong, who was always arrogant, couldn’t help but feel a cold sweat for her old dad at this moment.

"Bang!"

Another fierce collision, and the figures in the arena suddenly parted.

One person remained motionless on the spot, while the other staggered back over a dozen steps, and before he could steady himself, he "pfft" spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock as they focused on the retreating figure, and when they realized it was Zheng Qian, a chill went through their hearts.

Zheng Rong and her two senior brothers hurried forward, crying out with tears in their voices.

"Dad!"

"Master!"

Zheng Qian tried to say something, but before he could speak, everything went dark, and he fainted.

Seeing their biggest support, Zheng Qian, had fainted, Zhang Mingyuan felt his heart sinking into an abyss.

He slumped into the chair and said, "Forget it, I admit my defeat this time. You wanted Jiangxin Island, I’ll sell it to you at a low price!"

Wang Tianxiong grinned viciously, laughing, "Brother Zhang, if you had signed the contract obediently earlier, we all would’ve been happy. Sadly, it’s too late now."

When he said this, a murderous intent flashed in his gloomy eyes.

"I, Wang Tianxiong, not only want that piece of land, but I also want your lives!"

Seeing Wang Tianxiong’s murderous intent, Zhang Mingyuan felt ashen, and subconsciously reached towards his waist.

He had a gun hidden there, his last resort for saving his own life.

However, before he could draw the gun, a chopstick, with a whistling sound, shot through the air.

"Ah!"

Zhang Mingyuan screamed like a slaughtered pig as the chopstick pierced through his wrist, sending him and the chair flying.

Zhang Yuanhao was so frightened that he turned pale, his legs trembling, and stammered out, "Y-you, what do you want to do? Murder is illegal."

Hearing Zhang Yuanhao’s question, Wang Tianxiong laughed as if hearing a funny joke.

"Heh, if I dare to kill you, I’m not afraid of breaking the law!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands forcefully.

Then, several bodyguards in black walked in, carrying empty oil drums, wielding shovels, and holding some unidentified liquids.

Pointing to the oil drums, Wang Tianxiong sneered like the Grim Reaper, "This is a special gift I’ve prepared for you!"

"Shove each of you into an oil drum, pour in sulfuric acid to corrode you, then fill with cement, and cast into concrete blocks. Dump it into the river in the dead of night, without anyone knowing. Who would find out I did it?"

"Ah!" Upon hearing Wang Tianxiong’s horrifying description, Zheng Rong couldn’t help but let out a high-pitched scream.

Wang Tianxiong glanced at her, and a sharp gleam flashed in his ominous eyes.

"Aiyo, I didn’t expect my luck with beauties; such a little beauty here!"

Following that, he licked his lips, his face full of lascivious smiles.

"Don’t worry, little beauty, I am a man who cherishes a woman’s grace. Just be obedient and become my bitch slave, and I’ll spare your life!"

Zhang Mingyuan could no longer withstand the pressure of the Grim Reaper, his legs gave way, and he "plop" fell to his knees.

Seeing Boss Zhang Mingyuan kneel, the rest, including Zhang Yuanhao, quickly dropped to their knees.

No matter your status, whether poor or wealthy, in the face of the Grim Reaper, everyone is equal.

Especially someone like Zhang Mingyuan, who had tasted the sweetness of power and money; he was even more desperate to live.

"Brother Wang, oh no, Elder Brother, as long as you spare my son and me, whatever you want, I will agree!"

Watching the once high and mighty capitalist tycoon, now begging like a beaten dog, Wang Tianxiong felt extremely pleased with himself.

He laughed loudly towards the sky, "Haha, Zhang Mingyuan, you never expected to have such a day!"

"But I want nothing else, just the lives of you and your son!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Just as Zhang Mingyuan was falling into an abyss of despair, the sound of light coughing suddenly reached their ears.

"Ahem, sorry, may I say a few words?"

"Who?"

Wang Tianxiong stopped his ferocious laughter instinctively and looked toward the source of the voice.

Li Chen was casually leaning against the window, arms crossed, watching them indifferently.

"Who are you?" Wang Tianxiong frowned and demanded.

Li Chen replied leisurely, "Li Chen, Li as in the character for ’wood’ and Chen as in ’morning’!"

Wang Tianxiong repeated the name "Li Chen" to himself twice, found it unfamiliar, and angrily questioned, "What do you want to say?"

Li Chen didn’t pay any more attention to him but instead turned to look at Zhang Mingyuan.

"Boss Zhang, your son paid me one million to come here; I am obliged to save his life. If you also want to live, we can talk about the price."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Mingyuan was taken aback.

Kneeling on the ground, he didn’t know how to reply.

Reason told him, even a master like Zheng Qian fell to Zhou Tong’s hands; Li Chen might be skilled, but he couldn’t match them.

But now, with his life hanging by a thread, Li Chen was his last straw.

No matter what, he had to place his bet.

He tried to calm his mind, his voice trembling, "What do you want?"

Li Chen pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said indifferently, "Your life in exchange for Jiangxin Island. How about that?"
