Chapter 72: The Battle Against Fang Heng
Chapter 72: The Battle Against Fang Heng
The moment this name was uttered by the other party, Zhang Tu Hu was stunned, his mind still foggy.
As he gradually regained his senses, his bearded face was quickly shrouded in fear.
Just like Lin Baiwei.
In the Jianghu, this was also a name that only existed in rumors.
A pair of palms capable of subduing mountains and rivers, the demonic beings slain by this person could pile up into a mountain of flesh. Favored by the Qingzhou Governor, he was taken as a closed-door disciple and learned the ultimate martial arts.
So...
Such a person came to visit, and he only brought a few oranges?
Zhang Tu Hu was confident, but he never thought the visitor was here for him. Embarrassed, he said, "Reporting to the young master, this humble one is just borrowing this place. The owner is out."
"Where did he go?" Fang Heng asked, suppressing his impatience.
"He..." Zhang Tu Hu smacked his lips and pointed towards the courtyard gate, "Look, he's back with food."
Fang Heng turned to look.
The handsome youth in the dark robe had a sword at his waist and carried two food boxes. He walked into the courtyard with steady steps.
Not only was his body free of injuries, but his gaze was clear and profound, and the cloud patterns on his sleeves had also turned into two distinct lines.
"Lord Shen, someone's here for you!"
Zhang Tu Hu suddenly shouted, regardless of whether the visitor was a relative or trouble, he wanted to give the other party a moment to react.
But, it probably wasn't trouble...
If it was, he would probably be lying here today.
Shen Yi was slightly startled.
He had sensed Fang Heng's presence earlier, but he didn't expect the other party to come with something in hand.
Without haste, Fang Heng walked into the room.
"Is there something you need?"
Shen Yi thought he had made it clear last time.
There was no relationship between them, nor could they talk about any grudges.
"..."
Zhang Tu Hu secretly worried. In Baiyun County, Shen Yi had always been indifferent, but after coming to Qingzhou, he still maintained this nonchalant demeanor.
If he had the chance to connect with Fang Heng, wouldn't the matter of the Qingfeng Mountain's Dragon Demon be resolved?
With the other party's abilities, a simple transfer order could turn the tide.
"Hmm."
Fang Heng took a deep breath, then handed the items he brought to Zhang Tu Hu.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully chose his words before bowing slightly, "I've inquired, and I heard that you were brought here by Li Xinhan from Baiyun County."
"Hmm?" Shen Yi didn't quite understand.
"You're not very familiar with Qingzhou, and it's not your fault if he's been whispering in your ear. I was too presumptuous."
As he spoke, Fang Heng slightly bowed, "I came today to clear up the misunderstanding and express my apologies."
Seeing this, Zhang Tu Hu couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Even his breathing seemed to freeze for a moment.
Apologize? Shen Yi glanced sideways, noticing the other party's body gradually tensing and trembling, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
As expected.
Fang Heng straightened up, his palms spread apart, and his fists clenched. He slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
The tasks given by Bai Senior Apprentice should be completed.
His eyes blazed with fervor, "Secondly, to make up for my mistake, I'll take you back. If you still refuse, then I'll have no choice but to use force. After returning, we can discuss my apologies again."
As he spoke, a surging aura quickly filled the air, making it hot and dry.
"Damn."
Zhang Tu Hu closed his mouth, his face contorted. So, he was here to cause trouble! His body stiffened, but he still tried to reach his hand behind his waist.
He glanced sideways, feeling speechless. Ever since he met Shen Yi, the other party's troubles never seemed to end, and each one was bigger than the last.
Previously, he could still help from the sidelines, but this time... it would probably take his life to stop the enemy even by a hair.
Finally, that familiar voice sounded in his ear.
There was no panic as he imagined, but rather a casual tone.
"No need, if you want to fight, just say so next time."
Shen Yi gently placed the food box on the table and stood with his hands at his sides.
His defenseless posture made Fang Heng's eyes flicker with surprise, and he chuckled, "A reputation is something that's hard to regain once lost."
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned into a shadow and disappeared from his original spot.
This time, he wouldn't hold back at all and was determined to reclaim what he had lost with his own hands.
The thick aura of the Middle Jade Dew Realm swept through the room, oppressing everyone to the point of breathlessness!
"I thought my negligence last time would have taught you a lesson.
"Fang Heng appeared behind Shen Yi, his eyes as calm as an ancient well, and his muscular frame exuded an incredibly terrifying force.
Severing Pulse, Capturing Dragon!
'Don't worry, Bai Shixiong's skills are excellent, it'll just be a little painful, and it'll teach you a good lesson.'
In his eyes, Shen Yi's body was covered in intricate meridians that instantly appeared.
With all his might, Fang Heng unleashed his palms, carrying an overwhelming force, and struck out!
Shen Yi slightly turned back, with the same movement, but far more natural than Fang Heng's.
His speed wasn't particularly swift, but it was just a hair faster than his opponent's.
In the blink of an eye, his fingertips landed on Fang Heng's arms, and he immediately turned his palms into fists, delivering a straightforward Cloud Parting Fist strike to his chest.
Bang!
Amidst the dull sound, Fang Heng flew backward and tumbled on the ground several times.
His hands hung limply by his sides, slightly trembling.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, leaving him no time to react.
Fang Heng lay quietly on the ground, swallowing the sweet and bloody taste in his mouth, his unfocused eyes staring at the sky as he sank into thought: "..."
Inside the house.
Shen Yi straightened his collar, then sat at the table, opened the food box, took out two pairs of chopsticks, and handed one pair to Zhang Tu Hu: "Let's eat."
The bearded man looked outside, then at Shen Yi, and finally his gaze fell on the chopsticks in his hand.
His facial features gradually contorted.
He tugged at his beard forcefully.
He widened his eyes, trying hard to think of a reasonable explanation for what he was witnessing.
Either Fang Heng wasn't Fang Heng, or Shen Yi wasn't Shen Yi.
"Get me an orange."
"Oh."
Zhang Tu Hu's train of thought was interrupted, and he silently handed over the item.
Suddenly, he remembered what Chen Ji had once said.
For someone like him, nothing would be surprising.
"..."
Shen Yi peeled an orange, glancing at Fang Heng in the yard with his peripheral vision.
Since the other party mentioned someone who could treat him, he went a little harder this time, at least he wouldn't be able to move for two months.
If he didn't beat this Martial Arts Madman into submission, who knew how much trouble he'd cause in the future.
After being nurtured by Jade Dew, it wasn't just an increase in his foundation, but an all-around improvement, coupled with the power of the Dragon Demon.
In Shen Yi's eyes right now, Fang Heng was slow, weak, and even his most familiar moves were no match for him. It would be difficult for him to have any chance of winning against Shen Yi.
He came to the Demon Suppressing Bureau to kill demons.
Why did they always want to lock him up in that yard?
If the Dragon Demon really came for revenge, he wouldn't even know how to cry.
A moment later.
Fang Heng struggled to his feet, expressionless, spat out the blood in his mouth, and walked into the house with his hands hanging by his sides.
He sat down directly at the table: "I can't understand it."
"I can't understand it either," Zhang Tu Hu said with deep empathy, picking up a chicken leg: "What's wrong with your hand? Do you want to eat?"
Fang Heng opened his mouth and bit into the chicken leg that Zhang Tu Hu handed him, chewing vigorously.
Shen Yi picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks, along with some rice, and said as he chewed slowly: "Aren't you going to treat your injuries?"
"I can't go today."
Fang Heng remembered Bai Shixiong's instructions before leaving and got up to go to the neighboring house: "I'll sleep for the night and leave tomorrow."
His back looked a little lonely.
As he reached the door, he suddenly turned slightly, his face turning red: "Do you think what I said earlier was funny?"
Shen Yi put down his chopsticks: "No, you're a genius, and geniuses are naturally arrogant. It's normal."
"Are you not a genius, then? Why don't you have any arrogance?" Fang Heng's face was filled with confusion.
"Of course I'm not." Shen Yi stretched lazily. In this world, who would need thirty years to learn the Demon Subduing Blade Technique?
"..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng fell silent for a long time, and his expression gradually became more respectful.
So, in the eyes of truly talented individuals, they were just arrogant and ridiculed by all because of their talent. How laughable it was that they didn't know humility.
"If I hadn't been born a decade earlier and already had a sect, Fang would have honored you as my teacher."
Leaving these words, he went to the neighboring house with his hands behind his back.
He left only Shen Yi, who was slightly confused, pursing his lips in deep thought for a moment before realizing... the other party seemed to have misunderstood his intention.
