Chapter 776: 624 Brutally Torturing Xie Nian, Feng Shui Grand Formation! [1 more]
Cheng Yuan didn’t intend to come out at first.
But the area around the Martial Arts Alliance was indeed chaotic, with many fierce and evil ancient martial artists roaming nearby.
Robberies were common, and deaths and injuries in conflicts were the usual.
The Martial Arts Alliance simply provided a place for ancient martial artists without clan support to live, unlike the Judicial Hall that truly sacrificed and dedicated itself for the Ancient Martial World.
This kind of ordinary strife was very common within the Ancient Martial World, and the Martial Arts Alliance would not intervene.
But Ying Zijin was different.
Cheng Yuan had not easily gained an apprentice sister, naturally, he had to protect her.
So, he let Cheng Jin go out on the surface while he followed secretly.
He hadn’t expected that by following, he would actually encounter someone looking for trouble.
Xie Nian had a brash style and had forcefully robbed men in the streets more than once.
She had also fought several life and death battles in the Martial Arts Alliance.
Cheng Yuan recognized her at a glance.
He had disliked Xie Nian for a long time.
But because Xie Huanran stood behind her, there really was not much he could do.
However, troubling Ying Zijin was not going to be so easy to let go.
Cheng Yuan’s Ancient Martial Cultivation was at the level of three hundred and fifty years, far beyond what Xie Nian, a Half-Step Ancient Martial Grandmaster, could compare to.
Her face swelled up from Cheng Yuan’s slap, and a taste of iron surged in her throat.
“I am Xie Nian!” Xie Nian was both shocked and furious, “You dare to hit me? Do you no longer want to live?”
She struggled a bit, but couldn’t break free, her feet kicking wildly as she let out an angry scream, “I’ll have my ancestor kill you!”
Xie Nian had never suffered such great humiliation before.
It had always been her pinching others .
Especially since there were quite a few people watching, and the two male guards she wanted to toy with were also there.
Where was she supposed to put her face?!
“Fine, let him come,” Cheng Yuan still held Xie Nian, glancing at her indifferently, “When Xie Huanran exterminated the Liu family, it was because no one in the Liu family could threaten him; aside from the Judicial Hall, no one else was willing to throw away their life to help the Liu family.”
“But ten years have passed, and my cultivation has greatly improved; it won’t be so easy for him to kill me now.”
Xie Nian outright laughed, “What do you think you are? My ancestor killing you, why wouldn’t it be easy?”
Just as her words fell, several voices rang out at the same time.
The Martial Arts Alliance Guard Squad followed out, all kneeling down to Cheng Yuan in unison.
Seeing Xie Nian being held in Cheng Yuan’s hand as he ran back, Cheng Jin was inevitably stunned as well.
Xie Nian’s gaze instantly became dull, and she blurted out, “You… you are the Martial Arts Alliance Leader?”
The Martial Arts Alliance Leader, why would he be involved with Ying Zijin?
And it was just a few words she said.
She bad-mouthed Lin Qingjia even more, so why didn’t Cheng Yuan come out then?
“Yes, it’s me,” Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes, a sense of oppression in full force, “Or didn’t your ancestor tell you not to get on my bad side?”
Xie Nian’s expression finally changed.
Just before Xie Huanran went into Closed-door Cultivation, he personally told her not to touch Lin Qingjia, since Cheng Yuan considered Lin Qingjia to be his daughter-in-law.
But what was Ying Zijin’s relationship with the Martial Arts Alliance?
Don’t tell me that Cheng Yuan also wanted Cheng Jin to have two geniuses at the same time?
Xie Nian did not lower her head, laughing mockingly, “Alliance Leader Cheng really thinks highly of himself, eh? I wonder if the Young Alliance Leader can handle such blessings.”
“Or perhaps you should ask Lin Qingjia if she’s willing to serve one husband with Ying Zijin?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuan’s eyes instantly turned sinister.
He raised his hand and slapped her again, “You’re looking for death!”
This slap carried his Inner Strength and was more ruthless than the previous one.
Xie Nian was directly struck and vomited blood; her internal organs were injured.
Cheng Yuan didn’t even give Xie Nian a chance to struggle.
He released his hand, sealed her acupoints, and used his Inner Strength to suspend her in mid-air.
Then another slap twisted Xie Nian’s face.
The people around just watched as Cheng Yuan slapped Xie Nian, dumbstruck.
Cheng Jin was also startled.
He and Lin Qingjia did appreciate each other, but would he dare have any designs on Ying Zijin?
Wasn’t that like trying to climb on his foster father’s head?
Cheng Jin just watched the drama from the side.
After slapping her more than a dozen times, Cheng Yuan stopped, then gripped Xie Nian’s throat, “Apologize to my apprentice… Miss Ying!”
Xie Nian opened her mouth, and with that, she spat out another mouthful of blood.
She was almost exploding with rage, “I won’t—”
Before she could finish, Cheng Yuan slapped her again, “Did you hear me, apologize!”
