Chapter 68 Slap
"It's not that we refuse to contribute to humanity and the Covenant, we just stick together to keep warm..."
"I'm old and have seen too much. Some things make me feel chilly."
Xue Taoren's voice was low, but full of some kind of infectious power. He glanced at the expressionless Zhong Shenxiu and said, "For example, Niu Dingtian... alas... the calf died unjustly!"
"You're investigating me?!" Zhong Shenxiu frowned.
In just a moment, Xue Taoren felt as if his heart had stopped for a moment, and some cold sweat could not help but break out on his forehead. He knew that such a martial artist, once angry, would really kill people!
He quickly said: "The rise of a young martial artist will definitely lead to various investigations. Not only us, but also the martial arts association and many chaebol groups. There must be your information on the desk. It's nothing. The secret was discovered as soon as I checked... This is why I am talking openly to you. Because of Niu Dingtian, you will never be sincerely accepted by Tang Long's group... If you dare to submit, they may not dare to accept!"
"This is also one of the reasons why I came to you. Since you said that circle of friends is so powerful, then tell me...how did Niu Dingtian die?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked, although Uncle Niu had no friendship with him, for Hua Wu's sake, it would be great if he could help.
"this matter……"
Xue Taoren pulled up a rosewood chair and sat down, taking a sip of tea: "Niu Dingtian was also a first-class martial arts star back then. He was upright and enthusiastic...seeing him was like seeing myself back then. His talent He is extremely talented and has a good father who taught him from an early age. At the age of twenty, he won an excellent ranking in a national martial arts competition. He registered with the martial arts association and passed the examination in the same year to become an official martial arts master. After that, he continued to fight against demons and his martial arts also improved by leaps and bounds. It was simply incredible. , which suppressed the geniuses of the same period to the point where they almost lost their brilliance, and among them was Tang Long!"
"Do you want to say that Tang Long killed Niu Dingtian?" Zhong Shenxiu smiled playfully.
"It's a bit exaggerated to say that it caused death, but there must be responsibility... You have to know that the martial arts association has been a behemoth for so long, and there is naturally some... corruption inside. Tang Long himself is the blood of a big boss, and the Tang family is in the association. He is very powerful. Rumor has it that someone wanted to get the secret of Niu Dingtian's rapid progress in martial arts after breaking through the martial arts school, so he underwent multiple physical and mental examinations..."
"Is this...allowed?" Zhong Shenxiu's heart trembled, knowing how terrible this kind of persecution was.
Not to mention the physical body, even just huge mental pressure can drive people crazy.
"Because of the great righteousness, there are parasitic types among the demons. You also saw it this time... There was speculation back then that there would be more profound demons hidden in human society, so they were strictly scrutinized. Niu Dingtian was also caught in a flaw at the beginning. He was too excited and did some things, which were included in the scope of strict review... Hehe, the rules are the rules. Those people spoke very righteously back then, even if they were wrong anyway, In the end, we strictly followed the rules. The law does not punish everyone. The penalty of three drinks will be over. As for the people who died and collapsed because of this, their death was really in vain..." Xue Taoren sighed: "The same goes for Mavericks. A man did not give in, but voluntarily applied to go to the battlefield to prove his innocence... Perhaps considering the impact, the association let him go. After the wormhole opened that time, the demons that poured out were particularly crazy, but Niu Dingtian refused to retreat... …”
Zhong Shenxiu understands this very well.
Even if they are careful, a martial artist may die in battle at any time, let alone if they have the will to die.
Niu Dingtian died heroically as a result.
"Back then, in our circle of friends, some people saw this and were so heartbroken that they had to form a circle to fight against the people of Tang Long's faction. Otherwise, anyone might become the next Niu Dingtian... and we also exist. They don’t dare to go too far, and coupled with the good cycle, the Martial Arts Association seems to be relatively peaceful now.”
"Good cycle?" Zhong Shenxiu heard another secret.
"Some people have concluded the law of wormhole occurrence over the years. It takes about twenty to thirty years as a cycle, and the frequency of occurrence ranges from high to low... The last 20th anniversary was a period of low wormhole occurrence. , the Star Alliance only encounters them occasionally once a year, and there are not many demons that appear, so you can deal with them if you are careful."
Xue Taoren looked worried: "The emergence of wormholes this time is a sign of danger. I suspect that in the next cycle, wormholes will occur more frequently. In the next few decades, martial arts practitioners will suffer heavy casualties. The martial arts association will definitely let a large number of people die." Registered martial arts masters are directly promoted, and Tang Long’s faction, in order to survive, will definitely suppress us with all their strength and send martial arts masters who do not belong to their faction to the battlefield as much as possible to die in their place!”
"This fight is really bloody..."
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and sighed.
Of course, he was not one to believe. He only believed half of Xue Taoren's words, and he had to investigate the other half himself.
However, Niu Dingtian's death was probably closely related to Tang Long's faction, otherwise Xue Tao people would not be so sure.
"Haha, Lao Xue, I heard that you want to introduce a new person?"
At this moment, the door of the living room opened with a bang, and a big man like an iron tower walked in: "You still practice kung fu horizontally? Such martial arts masters who can endure hardships are rare these days."
Xue Taoren immediately stood up with a hint of respect in his smile: "Tie Lao, this is Hua Wu!"
He turned to Zhong Shenxiu and introduced: "This Tiezhongtian Tielao is one of the three leaders in our circle of friends. He is a great master of Henglian. A series of hard skills such as Iron Shoulder Kung Fu, Iron Finger Zen, and Iron Leg Kung Fu have all been practiced to the level of perfection and integrated into one, creating the self-created "Vajra Indestructible Hard Qigong". It is known as the best martial arts practice among martial arts. He received thirteen punches from Tang Long, but unfortunately his speed was slightly slower..."
"Tie Lao."
Zhong Shenxiu slightly cupped his fists.
"Well...Young man has a good sense. If you join our circle, you won't be treated badly."
Tie Zhongtian played with two iron galls in his hand and said as if unintentionally: "Xue Tao is your senior. You will not be wrong if you listen to him more in the future."
This is a bit like relying on one's seniority to show off one's seniority, but in any circle, it is common to rank seniority based on seniority.
Xue Taoren also saw that Tie Zhongtian didn't have much ill intentions, he just wanted to give the newcomers a show of strength, so he smoothed things over with a smile: "Our circle of friends are all friends, we communicate on an equal footing, it's just communication."
‘Why has this Xue Tao become a softie? ’ Tie Zhongtian glanced at Xue Taoren, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"Yes, the way of martial arts is to lie down horizontally and win vertically. With your circle of friends developing so tepidly, how many years will it take before you can officially make your mark?"
Zhong Shenxiu is not used to this: "Martial arts practitioners need a little bit of blood. Without this bit of blood, you are no longer a martial artist. I would like to ask Tie Lao for advice."
"snort!"
When Tie Zhongtian heard this, how could he still sit still? With a flash of his palm, two iron cores flew out of the air. He was confident that at close range, this hidden weapon would be as powerful as a firearm and would be enough to teach newcomers a lesson.
Dang Dang!
The two iron gallbladders hit Zhong Shenxiu, making a muffled sound like the knocking of a bell.
Zhong Shenxiu did not dodge or even retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, came to Tie Zhongtian, and slapped him away.
Snapped!
Amidst the crisp sound, Tie Zhongtian flew out upside down, crashed through the wall, and flew to no one knows where.
"Sorry... I broke the wall of your house."
In the dusty sky, Zhong Shenxiu retracted his palm and said calmly.
Xue Taoren looked at the big hole in the wall and completely lost the ability to speak for a while.
