Chapter 899: Zhang Cheng

Jiangnan, Qixia Town, Tongfu Inn.

The boisterous crowd gathered together and immediately began to chat.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, who had been away for a long time, Bai Zhantang leaned forward and said, "Little Zhang, this outfit of yours is not bad? Did the private school issue it?"

"Old Bai, what are you saying? What private school could issue clothes like this? Look at this silk, it's embroidery from Shu..."

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Tong Xiangyu's eyes became sharp.

Hearing Tong Xiangyu's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Manager Tong still has a good eye!"

"Look, I said so! Little Zhang, where did you make your fortune? Can you take your sister along?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, that's simple. You find a temple with many people, slaughter everyone, and isn't that money yours?"

Looking at Tong Xiangyu with a face full of mockery, Zhang Cheng naturally wouldn't say that he was the one who did exactly that!

"Are you joking? How could a delicate person like me do such a thing!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but complain.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Bai Zhantang on the side said, "Little Zhang, you can't talk nonsense like that. Something big happened in Hangzhou recently! Have you heard of the Blood-Slaughtering Heavenly Demon?"

"What kind of thing is that?"

Looking at Bai Zhantang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be confused, because he had just returned from Hangzhou, so why hadn't he heard of this person?

"A few days ago, wasn't Hangzhou breached by Japanese pirates? An evil demon actually took advantage of Luoshan Temple defending against foreign enemies to slaughter all two hundred people in the entire temple, and even smashed the golden Buddha statue. You say, isn't that terrifying!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng and the others, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but lower his voice.

Hearing Bai Zhantang say this, Tong Xiangyu shivered: "More than two hundred people, all killed?"

"Yeah, more than two hundred people! The entire temple, even the warrior monks who ran out to report the news, were killed by that person in front of dozens of Jiangnan heroes!"

Explaining to everyone, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but become serious.

Looking at Bai Zhantang, everyone finally realized how serious the matter was.

"Oh my ants, then won't this person appear in our Qixia Town? If that's the case, then it's all over!"

Thinking of such a terrifying Jianghu villain, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but become nervous.

Watching everyone with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but rub his head, because the person they were talking about seemed to be himself!

No wonder Ke Zhen'e, that blind man, kept saying he wasn't a good person; it turned out he really wasn't!

Ke Zhen'e: Don't you have a clue in your heart whether you are or not?

Zhang Cheng: I always thought I was a good person with choices!

Jiang Yuyan:...

"Are you telling ghost stories in broad daylight? Your voices are so low, are you afraid someone will hear you?"

Looking at Bai Zhantang and the others with annoyance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.

"Hey hey, keep your voice down. What if that villain hears you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but become serious.

"If he hears, let him hear. Do you think he can still kill me?"

Speaking to Bai Zhantang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but pat his chest: "Master, I'm not afraid!"

"Just keep showing off. One day when he finds you, you'll be crying!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with annoyance, Bai Zhantang complained.

Hearing Bai Zhantang say this, Zhang Cheng said, "Old Bai, I heard your lightness skill is not bad. Teach me!"

"Why are you practicing lightness skill? You don't even have internal energy!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but roll his eyes, as if he had heard some joke.

"Does practicing lightness skill definitely require internal energy?"

Looking at Bai Zhantang with suspicion, Zhang Cheng was surprised.

Because he had no internal energy, yet he could still activate the Dragon Claw Hand!

"Some martial arts indeed don't require internal energy, but those belong to external hard training, which only a very small number of people practice. It's extremely difficult, but once you succeed, you are bound to be invincible! Just like the Seventy-Two Stunts of Shaolin Temple..."

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Bai Zhantang then said: "Also, you have already passed the best time to practice martial arts. Don't waste your effort!"

"Guo Furong can practice, why can't I? Do you look down on me?"

Looking at Bai Zhantang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but question him.

"Hey hey hey, Zhang Cheng, what do you mean? What do you mean even I can do it!"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Guo Furong said angrily.

"Calm down, Little Guo, calm down!"

Hugging Guo Furong, Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang hurriedly pulled her away.

Looking at Guo Furong, Zhang Cheng threw out a piece of silver with a backhand: "Little Guo, go out and buy some food for me. Keep the rest as a running-errand fee!"

"Got it, Master Zhang!"

Catching the silver with a backhand, Guo Furong's originally angry appearance immediately became all smiles.

But looking at the silver, Tong Xiangyu hurriedly snatched it away: "Oh my, why go outside to buy anything? Just eat in the shop. Whatever you want to eat, I'll have Dazui make it for you right now!"

After seeing the silver, Tong Xiangyu's eyes also shone.

"Hey, Manager, that's my silver, mine!"

Watching Tong Xiangyu turn and leave with the silver, Guo Furong couldn't help but chase after her and shout.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but be stunned: "Where did you get the silver?"

"Robbed it!"

Showing a brilliant smile, Zhang Cheng explained.

"You? Robbed? Hahahaha! Are you trying to laugh me to death?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but complain.

But halfway through his laughter, he immediately leaned forward and said, "If I go now, can I still rob some?"

"Probably not!"

Looking at Bai Zhantang seriously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel awkward.

Because just as Bai Zhantang said, everyone in the entire temple had been slaughtered by him, so where could he rob?

"You should go find an internal energy manual to practice first! Mine isn't suitable for you!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Bai Zhantang felt awkward.

Because he was a disciple of the Sunflower Sect, and his internal energy was inclined toward the feminine and required coordination with the acupoint-striking hand, so it wasn't suitable for Zhang Cheng!

"Fine, I'll go back and take a look!"

Hearing Bai Zhantang say this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

Although he had slaughtered Luoshan Temple, he had packed up and taken all the secret manuals inside.

So regarding internal energy, Zhang Cheng wasn't worried, but the main thing was, he was "illiterate" and couldn't understand the content written inside...

Don't think that just because you came to ancient times, you can practice once you get a secret manual.

Please refer to the Xuanming Elders, pfft, the Black Wind Twin Fiends Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng.

Once they got the Nine Yin Manual, they could practice it into an evil art. You tell me how ridiculous that is; it's just like that Lu person from next door who meets Li Mu when he goes out!

Lu Yan: You...

You have to know, when Huang Shang compiled the Nine Yin Manual, he read three thousand Daoist scriptures!

Such upright and peaceful Daoist martial arts were practiced by those two into something like the Nine Yin Bone Claw. If Huang Shang knew, he would have to kick his coffin lid away, jump out himself, and press their heads to relearn how to read!

So, it's not wrong to say Zhang Cheng is "illiterate"; after all, he couldn't read the professional terminology in martial arts!

"You take a look? Can you understand the secret manual?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Bai Zhantang asked.

"I'm illiterate, but I can read!"

Looking at Bai Zhantang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

"Illiterate? Can read?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Bai Zhantang stared at him in astonishment, not knowing what to say!

Jiangnan, somewhere.

Looking at the Krieg soldiers following him, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but turn around: "Hey, who exactly are you people? Why do you keep following me? Can you speak? I beg you, speak! Who are you!"

But facing Jiang Yuyan's questioning, the Krieg soldiers remained cold.

Looking at the two Krieg soldiers speechlessly, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but roar: "Ah, I'm going crazy!"
