Chapter 1713 - 396: You Want to Reason with Master Zhang? (Part 4)

"This doesn’t count as bullying you, does it?"

Lei Ming said, "Many thanks, Master Kong Wen."

As soon as he finished, the Five Mountains Sword Alliance’s Zuo Buqun said, "But let’s get the ugly words out first: blades have no eyes. If anyone dies, don’t blame us for being heavy-handed!"

Lei Ming said, "Of course!"

Hearing this, a mocking look appeared on Zuo Buqun’s face. These people from the Divine Dragon Sect were just looking for death. Even their strongest, Lei Ming, was only at the Middle Melting Furnace Realm. On their side they had Master Jue Mie, Master Kong Wen, and Wudang Song Yuanqiao, all Half-step Melting God experts. Let alone them—just his own Molten Furnace Upper Realm Cultivation was something Lei Ming couldn’t deal with.

So in the eyes of the Five Great Sects, this so‑called duel was nothing but child’s play.

Thinking this, everyone agreed one after another, each of them acting as if victory was already in the bag.

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng looked at Lei Ming and said, "Uncle Lei, can we actually win this duel?"

Lei Ming’s face was bitter. "Other than this move, can you think of any other way?"

"But Uncle Lei, we simply can’t win, can we?"

Lei Ming said, "Just do your best. At the very least, we can face our own consciences."

Fang Susu glanced at the Six Great Sects eyeing them like tigers watching prey and said, "They probably can’t wait to cut us into a thousand pieces. If this fight really starts, I’m afraid we won’t be keeping our lives!"

Hearing this, Lei Ming let out a bitter laugh. "You two don’t get involved. I used to be an elder of the Zoroastrian Sect. When the Holy Sect is in trouble, I have a duty to repay what I owe. You haven’t drawn salary from the Holy Sect, so you don’t need to shed blood for it. In a while, after I’m defeated, don’t interfere. Just let them take away the Ming King."

As Lei Ming spoke, the Little Ming King to the side was left dumbfounded. Hey, talking about me like this right to my face—are you sure that’s appropriate?

Of course, none of them cared about that. With life and death on the line, who would bother with whatever the Ming King had to say?

Seeing that Lei Ming had already made up his mind to make a last stand, Fang Zheng’s face was full of worry. Fang Susu thought for a moment, then said, "Uncle Lei, I know you don’t want me to make a move. In that case, there’s only one thing left to do. Uncle Lei, let me help you take care of one Sect first."

Fang Susu looked at Lei Ming as she spoke. Lei Ming had just opened his mouth when, before he could say anything, Fang Susu had already stepped forward, cupped her fists, and said loudly, "Fang Susu of the Divine Dragon Sect challenges Fifth Hero Zhang of Wudang!"

"Please enlighten me!"

With that single line from Fang Susu, everyone was stunned, especially Zhang CuiShan. What the hell, challenge me?

The people of the other Sects were also one tael confused. Everyone knew the two of them were all lovey‑dovey, and now they were putting on a challenge? Do you take us all for idiots?

What kind of ’fight’ are you two going to put on?

Isn’t it just going to be mutual sandbagging?

Everyone looked at Fang Susu strangely. This young woman was indeed devious. But Fang Susu had no choice. What else could she do? The enemy was strong and they were weak. If she could help her own side even a little, she would.

So she fixed her gaze on Zhang CuiShan and said, "Fifth Hero Zhang, please enlighten me."

Zhang CuiShan was a bit at a loss. He was a traditional sort, and his mind wasn’t as quick as Fang Susu’s. Right now he looked troubled and turned to his Senior Brother Song Yuanqiao. "Senior Brother, maybe I should withdraw. She and I..."

Hearing this, Mo Shenggu said, "Yeah, Senior Brother, Fifth Brother can’t bring himself to strike at the woman he loves. Let me go!"

Song Yuanqiao glanced at Mo Shenggu. "Your Fifth Brother can’t bring himself to hit the woman he loves, but you can bring yourself to hit your Fifth Sister‑in‑law?"

"I..."

Mo Shenggu was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, Yin Liting stepped forward and said, "Fifth Brother, just treat it with a normal heart. Think of it as sparring Kung Fu with Fifth Sister‑in‑law. It’s no big deal. With Master Zhang’s prestige behind us, nothing will go wrong!"

Song Yuanqiao said, "That’s right, go. Whatever happens, everyone in Wudang will shoulder it with you. Go."

And so, pushed out by everyone, Zhang CuiShan muddle‑headedly walked up to Fang Susu. Fang Susu smiled faintly and said, "Please enlighten me!"

Zhang CuiShan cupped his fists, his face full of reluctance. "Please."
