Chapter 96: Life hangs by a thread
()
The square of the Chamber of Commerce was surrounded by a dense crowd of people in a huge circle, and among the people in this circle, there was an inner circle and an outer circle, which was divided into two groups of people with distinct paths.
Most of the people in the outermost circle were cultivators in the ink city, some of them were indignant and even took out weapons in their hands, while some of them only sighed lightly although they frowned secretly, and some people were still cheering.
Different from the periphery, standing in the inner perimeter are some gorgeously dressed young men and women in their early twenties, with a look of arrogance on their faces, and now they are looking at the middle of the square with a smile, and from time to time they will make a comment or two, but more often with some disdain and ridicule.
The people on the other side of them were the deacons and pharmacists in the Chamber of Commerce, all of whom had been wounded, and even many of the guards had fallen to the ground without life.
Now they are doing their best to treat themselves, and they have no ability to do anything other than show anxiety and anger on their faces, so they can only pray that Cui'er can rush back to Ye's house in time to inform Ye Xiong.
Chen Yan, who was beside Ye Wen, bit her lip even more, her body trembled slightly, and her originally beautiful little face was already full of tears.
Although their expressions were different, their eyes were all on the two people in the square, one big and one small.
"Little guy, I've already said it, just with your cultivation and three-legged cat's swordsmanship, it's hard to even touch the corners of my clothes, and you still want to take revenge?"
Zhu Chong looked at Chen Ping, who was still gritting his teeth and insisting on swinging his heavy sword at him, his face was full of banter, and his mouth kept hitting him.
It's just that the more he said and the more he hid, the more silent Chen Ping, who was performing basic swordsmanship, became more silent, and his spirit became extremely focused, although his little face was already full of sweat and tears were rolling in his eyes, he swung the sword in his hand more firmly.
"When do you want to play, hurry up and send him away, so that we can take everything here, don't delay our business"
"That's right, Zhu Chong, we still have something to do."
"That's right, Zhu Chong, hurry up and get rid of this little guy, it will disturb our mood."
"Yes, Brother Zhu Chong is so wise and powerful, he will be able to get rid of him soon"
Looking at Zhu Chong, who was still teasing Chen Ping, Zhu Tong showed impatience on his face, and after frowning, he began to smile and scold Zhu Chong, and then walked in the direction of Ye Wen and the others, with a smug expression on his face, and the others also echoed it, and there were even many women who were watching Zhu Chong launch a nymphomania.
Although Zhu Tong and the others came to Mocheng for only one night and half a day, this time was enough for them to learn a lot of things, which naturally included the family war between the Ye and Wu families and the Chamber of Commerce established by the Ye and Qi families.
Moreover, their arrival also made many small families who also came from Qianyang County see the benefits, so they found them with their own careful thoughts, and one of them was to keep the medicinal materials collected in the chambers of commerce established by the two families as their own.
In their minds, even if they did such a thing, the two families would not offend them for such a small thing, but should personally send it to them to honor them.
In addition, the Ye family has experienced a big war, I am afraid that the strength of the family is not one in ten, and it is more important to recuperate and recover their strength, rather than offending the family behind them because of these trivial things.
So in their assumptions, there was naturally what happened in front of them, and Zhu Chong and Zhu Tong saw the huge benefits, so they hid Cheng Runhong from doing this, and as the first leader, they were naturally even more proud.
Zhu Tong's words resounded naked in the square, without making any embellishments that he wanted to hide, although many people held their weapons after hearing them, but they let go after a period of thought struggle.
Zhu Tong looked at the performance of these people, and his face laughed even more, and the people who followed him mocked with great contempt.
"Little guy, do you think your swordsmanship is really good? I don't know who taught you, and I think his level is just a bad guy.
I was still thinking that I could play with you more, but it was rare to meet such a naïve little guy like you who thought he could do chivalry, but my eldest brother has already spoken, so I won't play with you."
Zhu Chong said triumphantly to Chen Ping, but soon showed a sneer, took out his weapon, that is, the huge pitch-black axe, and wanted to walk towards Chen Ping.
Chen Ping looked at Zhu Chong who took out the giant axe, his eyes flashed, and all he had done until now was to wait for Zhu Chong to have a flaw, and now he finally waited for this rare opportunity.
Thinking of the bits and pieces he had asked Lin Chen for advice in these days, and then thinking about the sword that Lin Chen swung, Chen Ping closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the spirit of the whole person reached the highest point in an instant.
So there was an unbelievable scene in everyone's eyes, only to see that the heavy sword clenched by Chen Ping's hands began to glow with a faint white light, and the moment the white light appeared, everyone felt a sharp feeling appear in their minds.
Then they saw that Zhu Chong, who was still laughing, suddenly stiffened, and his mind went blank for a moment, and when he reacted again, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he blocked the giant axe in his hand in front of him.
Only a loud sound of the bell was heard, and the heavy sword in Chen Ping's hand emitted a sword aura, hitting the giant axe in Zhu Chong's hand head-on.
After this, Chen Ping's weak body suddenly flew upside down, while Zhu Chong stood firmly in place.
But Zhu Chong had already fallen into a sluggish state, and the others were also dumbfounded, looking at Zhu Chong's big axe that had been cut out of a gap by the sword qi, they actually felt fear in their hearts.
"Brother"
The only one in the field who couldn't see the danger was Chen Yan, seeing Chen Ping lying on the ground with a hanging thread, he forcibly broke free of the hand that was grabbed by Ye Wen, ran to his side at a trot, hugged his blood-covered body and cried.
Everyone was awakened by Chen Yan's heartbroken cry, and many people had unbearable looks in their eyes, and pinched themselves fiercely.
Seeing this, Ye Wen's face changed even more, and he immediately gave up his treatment and walked to Chen Ping's side, and after carefully checking it, he took out an emerald green pill and put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
"Zhu Chong, are you okay?"
In the midst of the shouts of a group of people in Qianyang County, Zhu Chong was also a spirit, looking at the gap in the big axe in his hand.
What followed was a burst of shock, if it weren't for his subconscious defense, under Chen Ping's sudden outburst of sword, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured, this was a sword that could cut out the gaps in the weapons that were close to the hundred refining level.
Zhu Tong in the distance was even more suspicious, because from the white light in Chen Ping's sword, he saw a hint of familiarity, and soon thought of Lin Chen, who made the two brothers suffer, and his face gradually showed a cruel color.
"Do you think this sword is a little familiar, tsk, I didn't think we were really wronged?"
"That's right, big brother, that kid made us suffer a big loss yesterday, lost a big face, I'm still thinking about how to get it back, I didn't expect to meet someone related to him today, God is really good to us"
Zhu Tong and Zhu Chong glanced at each other, the cruelty on their faces became a little stronger, and they began to slowly walk towards Ye Wen and the others.
There was no sound in the huge square except for their laughter, and Ye Wen could feel that death was getting closer and closer to him.
However, when he felt desperate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, which also exuded the aura of the acquired realm, and stood in front of Zhu Tong and the others without fear, blocking them all.
