Chapter 62 With the knife in my hand!
"How dare you, Lu Ming!"
In the main hall, Feng Buping, filled with shock and anger, roared at Lu Ming.
He never expected that Lu Ming would actually help Feng Qingzhu release her acupoints with just one finger!
How is that possible?
Even if Lu Ming had some basic knowledge of acupoints, he would need to be extremely cautious and slowly probe before he could release the acupoints.
How could the acupoints be identified in such a short time?
Could it be that Lu Ming's talent for acupoint manipulation is so extraordinary, and that he has already mastered superior acupoint martial arts?
In the lobby, many eyes were watching with amusement. Feng Buping noticed the amused looks on everyone's faces and felt his face burning with embarrassment.
He slowly stood up, his blood and qi surging, revealing the aura of the Bone Forging Realm, like a giant ape ready to strike at any moment, holding a staff, his muscles bulging all over!
"Lu Ming, I was initially inclined to spare your life because I saw your youthful arrogance and was reminded of my own younger days."
Feng Buping said slowly, "I didn't expect you to dare ignore my words and act so arrogantly in front of my hall! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of my Feng family!"
Facing the subtle pressure of Feng Buping's aura, Lu Ming remained calm:
"My friend asked me to help her, are you deaf?"
"presumptuous!"
Feng Buping's eyes widened, and he roared, a hint of murderous intent appearing in his gaze as he looked at Lu Ming.
He didn't act immediately, his cold gaze fixed on Feng Qingzhu behind Lu Ming, and said:
"Qingzhu, is this how you treat your father? Allowing outsiders to insult him at will?"
Feng Qingzhu gave him a cold look, then suddenly took two steps back and drew the guard's sword with a clang.
"Sizzle!"
She tore off a piece of her dress and threw it to the ground. A gentle breeze tousled her hair and brushed against her resolute eyes.
"How could a father plot against his own daughter just to satisfy his own selfish desire for a marriage alliance!"
"From this day forward, we are sworn enemies. I am no longer your daughter, and you are no longer my father!"
Upon seeing this, Feng Buping's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
Feng Qingzhu actually severed ties with him in front of all the powerful figures in the city.
He originally intended to solidify the marriage between the two families in front of all the powerful figures, leaving Feng Qingzhu no chance to regret it.
However, Feng Qingzhu's actions have now made him lose face.
Moreover, with the marriage alliance falling through, Zhou Zhen may not be able to obtain the Lingyun Sect's cultivation elixir again.
Lu Ming!
Feng Buping stared intently at Lu Ming. If it weren't for this person, things should have gone smoothly today.
Seeing Lu Ming's calm and composed demeanor, he was furious.
That arrogant fool who doesn't know his place dares to underestimate him, the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang!
"Sect Leader Lei, is this the might of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion? I've certainly experienced it firsthand today!"
Feng Buping turned to look at Lei Wanchun in his seat and said coldly.
Lei Wanchun was already displeased when Lu Ming came in and did all these things.
Although Tianji Pavilion is a transcendent force in Chiyun County, it may not fare well if it gets involved in the city's turmoil.
Moreover, now that Qin Zhonghai has been lost, he can't stand alone and can't afford to cause any further trouble.
Upon hearing Feng Buping's words, he immediately stared at Lu Ming and said:
"Lu Ming, I vaguely heard you come in outside the door as a secret agent of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
"Do you really think that just because you've donned the name of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, you can do whatever you want?"
"Have you finished your tasks for today?"
Lu Ming frowned slightly, then greeted Lei Wanchun and said:
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, an unexpected incident occurred today. The mysterious person and the earth dragon beast disappeared in the area of the mission target. I am worried that they may be in danger, so I plan to investigate again after some time."
Lei Wanchun's expression immediately changed, and he shouted:
"How could you make this decision without consulting me?"
"Moreover, that human and that demon were seriously injured by Wei Sizheng and fled far away. They certainly wouldn't dare to make any rash moves. How could there be any danger?"
"You were afraid to participate in the Genius Bait Project before, and now you're afraid of everything."
"Since you have failed the introductory task, you will no longer be a secret agent of my Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's gaze sharpened.
The task he received did not require him to complete the investigation today.
The sooner you finish, the higher your rating and the better the reward you receive—that's all.
Lei Wanchun actually stripped him of his identity as a secret agent of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion just because he failed to complete the mission on the first day.
Clearly, Lei Wanchun disliked him before, and now he's using this as an excuse to kick him out.
Seeing this, the slight respect on Lu Ming's face vanished completely. He stared at Lei Wanchun and sneered:
"Since that human and demon were seriously injured and fled far away, Black Mountain is no longer in any danger. Pavilion Master Lei, why don't you dare to go to Pavilion Master Qin?"
"Master Qin was pursued by a mysterious person and escaped with serious injuries. He is hiding in some corner of the Black Mountain, waiting for Master Lei to come to his aid."
"When a colleague is in trouble, Pavilion Master Lei doesn't go to help, but instead has the mood to wait here for an engagement banquet. Today, I, Lu Ming, have truly broadened my horizons."
Lei Wanchun's expression changed drastically: "Insolence! You brat, what do you know? That mysterious man was a martial artist at the Tempering Realm. How could Pavilion Master Qin possibly contend with him? He's already dead!"
"Is that so? Heaven sees what man does; there will surely be a divine response to today's events. Pavilion Master Lei, just wait and see!"
Lu Ming sneered, but did not mention that Qin Zhonghai had already gone to the prefectural city, lest Lei Wanchun go all the way and secretly send someone to intercept and kill him.
Lei Wanchun vaguely sensed that Lu Ming's words had a hidden meaning, but he didn't know why. He could only assume that Lu Ming was arrogant and boastful, saying that he would take revenge on him when he grew up.
He snorted coldly and sat back down. As a martial artist in the Tempering Realm, how could he take Lu Ming's threat to heart?
In Chiyun County, even the powerful heads of the three major families are only Bone Forging Realm martial artists.
The vast majority of martial arts disciples can only reach the Bone Forging Realm in terms of cultivation, including so-called martial arts geniuses like Lu Ming.
On the main side, Feng Buping was slightly taken aback when he saw Lei Wanchun dismiss Lu Ming on the spot. Then, a sense of confidence and control, as well as the ability to turn the world upside down, welled up in his heart.
He was originally just testing Lei Wanchun's attitude, and at most he was hoping that Lei Wanchun would shut Lu Ming up on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Lei Wanchun directly took away Lu Ming's identity as a secret agent of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!
To achieve such a victory in front of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master was something he had never dared to imagine before.
Previously, he was a neutral force. Although the various forces in the city treated him with great courtesy, he was constrained when it came to actually doing anything, constantly weighing whether he would offend a certain force.
Now, although he has lost his neutral stance and sided with Zhou Zhen, he has also gained a tremendous amount of influence, and even Lei Wanchun has to be wary of him.
Having tasted success, Feng Buping felt a surge of pride and became even more convinced that he had made the right decision.
If he could use the Lingyun Sect's cultivation of the Great Elixir to break through to the Tempering Realm, wouldn't the entire Chiyun County be his for the taking?
Today's marriage must not end like this.
Feng Buping's eyes were cold as he looked at Lu Ming, revealing the aura of a peak Bone Forging Realm expert. He slowly approached Lu Ming and said:
"Now, you are no longer a secret agent of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."
"Without this identity, you wouldn't even be able to get through the gates of my Green Bamboo Gang."
"The marriage between Qingzhu and Shen Xianzhi will ensure a stable spot as a disciple of the third-rate Lingyun Sect, bringing numerous benefits."
"Lu Ming, I really don't know where you get the courage. What makes you think you can cause trouble for my Green Bamboo Gang, obstructing Green Bamboo and hindering the future of my Green Bamboo Gang!"
At this moment, the powerful figures in the hall watched the show, observing as Feng Buping walked towards Lu Ming by the door.
On one side was a powerful figure at the Bone Forging Realm, and on the other was a junior who had reached the Great Perfection of Flesh Refining. The outcome was a foregone conclusion.
Feng Buping's aura was tinged with a hint of savagery, as if he might transform into a giant ape at any moment, leaping up with his club and smashing Lu Ming's head in the sunlight streaming in.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yiyi imagined Lu Ming's weakness and helplessness and could hardly bear to watch. A trace of regret rose in her heart.
Just then, Lu Ming smiled slightly... He could actually smile?
Liu Yiyi was taken aback.
next moment.
Lu Ming gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, raised his head, and said:
"With the knife in my hand!"
With those words, Lu Ming drew his sword.
In an instant, everyone seemed to see a flash of light from Lu Ming's scabbard.
The fierce aura made all the powerful figures tense up, their skin crawled, and they were shocked. They stood up and stared in disbelief at the knife in Lu Ming's hand.
At this moment... Lu Mingyi's energy filled his Niwan Palace, shining brightly in all directions!
