A mere two hundred thousand can’t compare to knowing a Martial Arts Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends?\" Fang Zheng squints. For someone of his status to do this is humbling himself, but Fang Zheng isn’t interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly asks:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Qi Yuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi Yuan...\" He Xuanping shakes his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know where he is.

Fang Zheng states:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just speaking frankly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph...\" He Xuanping sneers, his expression shifting, a complex array of emotions flooding his mind, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems over the years I have indeed become a bit complacent, the younger generation has forgotten how I climbed to this position step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a young kid dares to threaten me face to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do they really think I’m soft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury rises, the youthful ambition of the past wells up, He Xuanping roars:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words fall, the people in the room have already rushed at Fang Zheng from all directions, their expressions fierce, fists and bats raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No knives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this is a business place, frequently inspected by Public Security Bureau personnel, so naturally no weapons like knives are present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two closest, one throws a punch toward his head, another swings a bat at his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both tall and strong, they give it their all, if a common person faced them, they might be seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Zheng isn’t ordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stands motionless to the oncoming assault, letting the fists and bats land on him, at the same time he punches the head of the person next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a stomp, he evades the bat and returns it in kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punch and bat land on him, Fang Zheng’s face unchanged, while the two scream and fall, unable to get back up for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zheng moves, charging forward against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one step, he surges forward like a cannonball, an incredible display of power, the first person he hits is sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collapse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements Fist unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person roars, before the sound fades, he’s already flying, smashing through a screen, tumbling a few times before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them are experts, like the man in the white suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trained in Muay Thai, his strikes fierce, once breaking a leg-thick wooden post with his elbow, stronger than the black men on Phoenix Head Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But alas.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white suit’s fierce flying knee is halted mid-air by a large hand, before he regains his senses, his leg is grabbed and he’s flung five or six meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Xuanping’s face twitches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, as fast as his thugs charge, they’re retreating just as quickly, eight or nine people getting beaten down, ready to collapse in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crash...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abruptly opens a drawer, pulling out a pistol from a hidden compartment, raising it towards Fang Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thunk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of light streaks across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Xuanping screams in pain, his gun hand pierced by a dagger and pinned to the wall, the pistol slipping from his grip onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everybody stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Public Security Bureau, what are you all doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the chaos in the room, a group from the Public Security Bureau bursts in, led by the familiar face, Chief Zhou Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Zheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks at Fang Zheng, eye twitching:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I leave you alone for a moment, and you cause trouble again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gathering for a brawl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take them all away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" He Xuanping suddenly shouts, pulling the dagger from his right hand with his left, gritting his teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief Zhou, it’s a misunderstanding, we were just playing around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Playing around?\" Zhou Ping eyes his bleeding right hand coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This big?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Injury to my hand, does this need a Public Security Bureau intervention?\" He Xuanping’s expression is extremely ugly, he bites out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you, barging into private property, do you have a search warrant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t have one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss He.\" Zhou Ping squints:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think carefully, the Public Security Bureau will reason with you, but some people might not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-09T06:29:55.657Z",1,"novelbin.me","7fab9cce73837bf84a347061105a4086393aef021eedd0940d71df93d9259833","celestial-master-i-have-an-otherworld-chapter-291","celestial-master-i-have-an-otherworld-chapter-41",488,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcelestial-master-i-have-an-otherworld-cover.jpg"]
