Chapter 282: Overwhelming Dominance
Chapter 282: Overwhelming Dominance
"Thump, thump, thump."
From the staircase below, hurried footsteps echoed.
The woman at the reception desk, accompanied by several people, appeared on the second floor.
"Senior Brother Zhao..."
Just as she opened her mouth, she noticed Jiang Cheng standing beside her.
"I understand. Leave this to me; you all go handle your own matters."
Zhao Xiangyu spoke to the woman, his gaze fixed on Jiang Cheng.
"Oh, okay."
The woman glanced at Jiang Cheng with a hint of fear, then led the group downstairs. Soon, her voice could be heard from below.
It seemed that the regular members on the first floor were also curious about what was happening, and they had gathered around the staircase.
If not for the rule prohibiting ordinary members from accessing the second floor, they would have rushed up already.
Zhao Xiangyu took a deep breath and said, "Friend, are you serious about what you said earlier? I don't know what wrong Senior Brother Xiao has done to offend you, making you want to kill him. But right now, you're in our Falcon Martial Academy. As a member of this academy, for the sake of friendship and reason, I won't allow you to take another step forward."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"You think you can stop me just like that? That's unrealistic."
He thought to himself.
Senior Brother Zhao was indeed an honest person.
If the latter tried to stop him later, he wouldn't resort to killing, just knocking him out would suffice.
"If he's not enough, what about us?"
A woman's voice rang out.
Bai Wei appeared at the third-floor staircase, her eyebrows furrowed in anger.
"Friend, if you're here for a friendly exchange, you're welcome. But if you're here to cause trouble, I advise you to leave now while you still can."
Zeng Zhiteng also stepped forward, taking the lead.
However, his face didn't show much anger; instead, he was more cautious.
His gaze occasionally shifted to the blade on Jiang Cheng's back.
"Who is this guy, daring to cause trouble at our Falcon Martial Academy? Is he tired of living?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice sounded.
The speaker was none other than Xiao Yuanqing, Jiang Cheng's target for this trip.
However, Xiao Yuanqing seemed oblivious to the conversation downstairs, standing above with a condescending gaze, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"Senior Brother Zeng, Senior Sister Bai, Xiao... Senior Brother Xiao..."
Upon seeing the three people on the staircase, Zhao Xiangyu instantly felt the pressure ease, but when he called out to Xiao Yuanqing, his expression became unnatural.
Jiang Cheng's gaze swept over the three of them, and his eyebrows furrowed in surprise, feeling something unexpected.
Because that Tang Guanzhu, with his Fifth Level Primordial Energy Warrior strength, couldn't have missed the commotion on the second floor, not to mention the numerous surveillance cameras here.
Did he think that sending three disciples would be enough to deal with him?
Or was he secretly planning something else?
"Senior Brother Zhao, what's going on here?" As Jiang Cheng was pondering, Zeng Zhiteng also asked.
He had suddenly received instructions from his master, saying that there was trouble on the second floor and telling him to hurry over, trying to delay as much as possible, and also reminding him not to resort to violence if possible.
As for the others, he had notified them.
"Senior Brother Zeng, it's like this..."
Zhao Xiangyu glanced at Jiang Cheng with apprehension and explained the entire situation.
"What?"
After hearing the explanation, including Xiao Yuanqing himself, everyone wore shocked expressions.
Someone wanted to kill him?
And they dared to come to the martial arts academy in broad daylight to assassinate him? Their audacity was truly astonishing.
"Senior Brother Xiao, what's going on here?" Zeng Zhiteng turned around, "What grudge do you have with this person?"
"Senior Brother, I don't know either," Xiao Yuanqing replied, bewildered.
The middle-aged man in front of him was a complete stranger.
As for grudges, he couldn't recall having any with anyone. After all, besides going out for a meal, he spent most of his time in the martial arts hall, so there was hardly any chance for him to offend anyone.
"Senior Zeng, now is not the time for this," Bai Wei reminded him.
Regardless of any hidden circumstances, they wouldn't allow Xiao Yuanqing to be killed by the other party.
Zeng Zhiteng nodded.
He turned his gaze back to Jiang Cheng.
"Friend, what is the reason you want to harm our Junior Xiao? Speak up, I think there might be some misunderstanding here," he said.
"There is no misunderstanding," Jiang Cheng replied with a cold laugh.
"I intend to kill him."
After saying this, he directly headed upstairs.
If Tang Guanzhu didn't step in, he would naturally leave after capturing the person.
If the other party was preparing something, he wasn't afraid.
"What are you doing!"
"Stop!"
Several stern shouts rang out.
Zhao Xiangyu subconsciously took a quick step forward and reached out to grab Jiang Cheng's shoulder.
However, Jiang Cheng took a few steps forward and dodged, then continued upstairs along the staircase.
"Huh?"
Zhao Xiangyu was stunned.
He hadn't even seen clearly how the other party had moved several meters in an instant.
"Stop!"
Bai Wei shouted, taking advantage of the terrain, her long and powerful right leg kicked towards Jiang Cheng's chest, seemingly intending to kick him away.
Jiang Cheng's figure swayed to the side, dodging again.
Bai Wei was dumbfounded.
She also hadn't seen clearly how Jiang Cheng had dodged.
She only felt a blur before her eyes.
"Such incredible speed!"
Zeng Zhiteng, standing in front, widened his eyes.
After all, he was a Third Rank Force Warrior.
In the martial arts hall, he was second only to the master and Senior Tang.
So, the person before them was very likely a Fourth or even Fifth Rank Force Warrior!
Even so, seeing Jiang Cheng heading towards Xiao Yuanqing on the right, he quickly took a few steps and grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm.
This scene was something Zeng Zhiteng hadn't even imagined.
But since he had grabbed him, he naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity."
He exerted force with his arm, trying to pull Jiang Cheng away, but no matter how hard he pulled, and even with his face turning red, the latter remained unmoved, as if rooted to the ground.
The three, Bai Wei, Zhao Xiangyu, and Xiao Yuanqing, were stunned by this situation.
Combining this with the previous events, they couldn't help but realize that this uninvited guest's strength far surpassed theirs.
Bai Wei and Zhao Xiangyu were a little better off, feeling only shock in their hearts.
But Xiao Yuanqing was different.
His face was filled with terror.
Because the person before him was targeting him, and even wanted to take his life!
Initially, he didn't think much of it.
After all, weren't the four of them, the master and his three disciples, not a match for one person?
But what happened?
Zhao Xiangyu and Bai Wei's attacks all missed, and even with Senior Zeng using all his strength, he couldn't budge the other party in the slightest.
He, a Second Rank Force Warrior, was even inferior to Zeng Zhiteng. How could he possibly be a match?
After a brief hesitation, he shouted and took advantage of the opportunity while Jiang Cheng was grabbed to turn around and run away, shouting as he ran, "Master, save me! Save me! Master!"
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to knock out Zeng Zhiteng with a palm strike and chase after Xiao Yuanqing, a voice came from the depths of the third floor.
"To break into my Falcon Martial Academy and attempt to kill my disciple, do you really think I, Tang Nian, am a piece of dough that can be kneaded and flattened at will?"
As his words fell, a person dressed in a blue combat uniform, holding a pale blue long sword, slowly emerged from the shadows.
