Chapter 319: Lu Jing's Disappointment, One Slap Each!

Get lost!

Yang Zixin's angry voice came over.

Seeing that she not only failed to thank the teenager for his assistance, she instead directed her anger at him.

The next moment.

Smack—

A crisp sound.

Several teeth spun and flew into the air, landing on the concrete ground.

Along with the teeth, Yang Zixin's body also flew and danced.

She covered her face, performed a spin in midair, and fell into a puddle.

It kicked up a spray of dirty water, containing colorful oil stains and feces from some unknown animal.

You?...... You!

Yang Zixin sat slumped on the ground, about to shout angrily, but instead spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with several broken teeth.

She opened her mouth and stared blankly, touching her face swollen like a pig's head, and for a moment she just stared off.

Where did this brat come from, daring to be disrespectful to Commander Yang?!

He's too bold, seize him!

Shouts of anger rang out repeatedly, and several figures flew out from nearby shops and bars, appearing before Yang Zixin.

They appeared to be Yang Zixin's subordinates.

The leading burly man, without asking about the circumstances, directly started to attack.

Bang—

Bang—

However, these soldiers who had rushed over hadn't even touched the teenager before they followed in Yang Zixin's footsteps.

Five or six people simultaneously flew high into the air, spinning and falling to the ground beside Yang Zixin.

The dirty water on the ground was kicked up again, splashing into Yang Zixin's open mouth and smearing her face.

Originally sporting a buzz cut and with indistinct feminine features, she now looked like a mud-covered kid.

At the pavilion ruins, the few people who had just been drinking and chatting also froze, standing there and looking over.

Watching the teenager send Yang Zixin and her subordinates flying, they momentarily didn't know what had happened.

Only Lu Xin Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of something unusual as he walked up to the black-clad youth, staring intently at him.

He said solemnly: "I am a captain of the 289 Regiment in the Eastern Military Region. Who are you?"

The teenager grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He patted off the nonexistent dust on his combat uniform, smiling as he said: "Lu Jing, reporting for duty at the military region."

Lu Jing?

Lu Xin Yuan quickly searched his memory and suddenly recalled that the person recommended by Situjun seemed to be named Lu Jing.

He took a deep breath, his originally piercing gaze quickly turning cold: "Are you the one Situjun recommended to join the Eastern Military Region? Do you know who you just hit?"

"I always like to repay kindness with kindness and resentment with straightforwardness. For someone like this clueless fool, I hit him and that's that; as for who she is, I have no interest whatsoever."

Lu Jing tilted his head slightly, his gaze landing on Lu Xin Yuan's face: "What, you want to avenge your friend? If I recall correctly, she was the one you sent flying, right?"

Lu Xin Yuan nodded, then shook his head, his frail body simply blocking Lu Jing's path.

"You injured an officer of our Eastern Military Region. Although you came recommended, you're still an outsider; having injured her, you cannot just walk away unscathed."

Lu Xin Yuan's eyes narrowed, his triangular eyes sinister like a cobra's.

Helping Yang Zixin was a pretense; testing Lu Jing's strength was the real aim.

Regarding this parachuted teenager, Lu Xin Yuan harbored a hundred feelings of resentment.

Moreover, this was a rare opportunity; even if he acted against this teenager, it would be justified, as backing his own people is the righteous side.

Even if he crippled the opponent, the higher-ups likely wouldn't say much more.

At most, he'd get some confinement and a minor deduction of military points.

"Oh? Somewhat interesting..."

Lu Jing slowly stepped forward a few paces, standing before Lu Xin Yuan, and said: "Actually, I'm curious. I thought the front lines were strained, with every soldier fighting bloodily to defend the homeland, yet here you are indulging in feasting and merrymaking, even plotting internal strife..."

Lu Jing furrowed his brows, a flash of disappointment crossing his eyes.

It turned out not all soldiers regard defending Huaguo as their duty; nobility lies in the person, not the profession.

People like Lu Xin Yuan and Yang Zixin are probably many more.

Enjoying the best resources to the fullest here, they are outright parasites!

Lu Xin Yuan gazed at those eyes a few steps away, seemingly somewhat dazed, and inexplicably felt a lack of confidence deep down.

He couldn't see through the opponent's Blood Qi Realm, but it was surely the Warrior Realm; judging by his physique, he wasn't someone with abundant Blood Qi.

But being able to send those early-stage Martial Marquis Realm Yang Zixin flying into the water with a single slap, even if there's a hint of sneakiness, is not to be underestimated.

Lu Xin Yuan asked himself, even he could not easily achieve that.

But by now, Lu Jing's identity has been confirmed; not eliminating him will forever be a stone in his heart.

He had stayed in the Eastern Military Region for too long, just to wait for his qualifications to age, anticipating a vacancy for the rank of Major; who would have thought Lu Jing would suddenly appear?

Lu Xin Yuan's thoughts raced, and he slowly said: "You, a newcomer, how could you know we haven't fought bloodily on the battlefield? I didn't expect you to not only strike and injure military personnel, but also engage in slander and defamation; today I will properly deal with you on behalf of Situjun..."

Before Lu Xin Yuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by a light laugh.

"Hehe, slander?"

Lu Jing's face showed a hint of mockery: "The front lines are indeed strained, and there's indeed a shortage of personnel for defense. What about you? Look at yourselves—no injuries, no duties, and here you are drinking and chatting, isn't that avoiding responsibility?"

"How shameful that you still bear military ranks, watching your own region's warriors use flesh and blood to block the demon beasts inside the Cave, and yet you feel no shame?"

Lu Jing finished speaking, then reached out and slapped toward Lu Xinyuan's shoulder.

"You?!"

Lu Xinyuan, furious, let out a bitter laugh; his hands shot up like lightning as he struck at the arm Lu Jing had extended.

Bang——

A palm strike landed precisely on Lu Jing's elbow.

Lu Xinyuan's face first lit up with joy, then his heart suddenly jolted.

He felt his palm strike as if it had chopped onto a piece of iron heated to glowing red......

"Holy shit!"

Lu Xinyuan let out a muffled groan.

This palm strike not only failed to cut Lu Jing's arm, but the rebound force traveling up it made both his hands ache.

A red mark appeared on his fingers, and his knuckles felt as if they were splitting.

By contrast, Lu Jing's arm merely turned slightly pale, then instantly regained its healthy flush.

Lu Xinyuan's scalp went numb, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was startled by Lu Jing's defense and strength.

He hurriedly pushed off with his feet, violently kicking off the ground to retreat backward.

Whoosh——

In a flash, Lu Xinyuan withdrew nearly ten meters.

"You seem to hate me a lot......"

Lu Jing's flat voice sounded.

The next moment, he extended his right hand again, reaching for Lu Xinyuan's neck.

Lu Xinyuan's pupils constricted slightly as he watched Lu Jing's hand keep enlarging in his field of vision.
