Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Despicable Ma Cheng_1

The Yan King, Jiang Zhengyi, and the Hall Master of Martial King Palace all turned pale.

Seeing Qin Feiyang about to charge down, Jiang Zhengyi quickly pulled him back and said in a low voice, "Don’t be impulsive. Although Ma Cheng is somewhat petty, he won’t do anything that would ruin the overall situation."

The Yan King nodded. "That’s right. He might have a better plan. Let’s step back quickly so Zuo An doesn’t notice us."

The three of them and Shi Zheng retreated, holding their breath and preparing for the fight to come.

Qin Feiyang and Fatty, however, were hiding in the bushes, their gazes fixed on Ma Cheng.

"Boss, do you believe him?" Fatty asked softly.

Qin Feiyang didn’t answer, his eagle-like eyes radiating an intimidating aura.

Below, the Bear King was the first to stand up, looking at Ma Cheng in terror. This is a powerful expert! No weaker than the man in the cave!

As soon as Ma Cheng landed, a dark figure shot out from the cave. He was a hideous old man in a black robe, his deeply sunken eyes emanating an eerie green light.

It was him! Zuo An!

Seeing Ma Cheng, Zuo An’s pupils shrank. He questioned angrily, "How did you find this place?"

Ma Cheng sneered. "That’s all thanks to Jian Haotian."

Crouched at the top of the hill, Qin Feiyang’s body shuddered violently. He turned his head abruptly to look at the Yan King and the others, his voice cold. "Is this his plan? Can’t you see? He never intended to save Feng Cheng and the Bear King!"

The three of them also frowned.

At the same moment, upon hearing Jian Haotian’s name, a harsh glint flashed in Zuo An’s predatory eyes. "It’s that little bastard again! Where is he?"

"Right up there," Ma Cheng said, pointing to the mountaintop.

"Ma Cheng, you’ve gone too far!" the Hall Master of Martial King Palace roared, transforming into a streak of light and charging toward Zuo An.

The Yan King and Jiang Zhengyi exchanged glances, their expressions grim, and also shot toward Zuo An. They planned to capture the leader first to subdue his followers! As long as they could capture Zuo An, Feng Cheng and the Bear King would be safe.

Meanwhile, the Bear King also dashed toward Ma Cheng. The moment it heard the name ’Jian Haotian,’ it understood everything.

But Zuo An was faster! Seeing the Yan King and the others arrive, he realized things were going badly. In a single step, he caught up to the Bear King. His aged, talon-like hand shot out, grabbing the Bear King’s leg. His five fingers, like steel needles, instantly sank into its flesh!

Then, he yanked with all his might!

The Bear King roared as its massive body crashed to the ground, gouging out a deep pit!

Watching this, Qin Feiyang’s teeth clenched, his eyes blazed with fury, and his body trembled violently.

The Bear King and Ma Cheng hadn’t been far apart. Ma Cheng could have easily saved the Bear King before Zuo An got to him. Yet, throughout the entire ordeal, he merely watched with cold indifference, not lifting a finger to help. Hatred seethed in Qin Feiyang’s heart!

"Take one more step, and I’ll crush its skull!" At this moment, Zuo An planted his foot on the Bear King’s head, looked at the Yan King and the others, and chuckled ominously.

"Lin Chen, drag that old bastard out here!" he shouted coldly without turning his head.

Almost instantly, Lin Chen dragged an old man with disheveled hair out of the cave. It was Feng Cheng, now covered in injuries and unconscious.

Seeing the four powerhouses, Lin Chen was quite nervous. He hid behind Zuo An, not daring to look up.

Witnessing this, the Yan King and the others frowned and turned to land beside Ma Cheng.

Jiang Zhengyi sighed. "Ma Cheng, you shouldn’t have done this!"

"Shouldn’t I have?" Ma Cheng laughed, enraged. "Then I’d like to ask you: I am a Hall Master, a figure of high status and power. Why should I listen to the arrangements of some brat?"

The Hall Master of Martial King Palace retorted angrily, "Don’t you know to prioritize the overall situation?"

Ma Cheng said disdainfully, "The overall situation? Ridiculous. With the four of us here, can he possibly escape?"

"Alright, what’s done is done. Say no more," the Yan King cut in, his voice low. He looked coldly at Lin Chen. "As a member of the Lin family and a Core Disciple of the Elixir King Palace, you collude with a fiend like Zuo An. Do you feel no shame for the resources invested in your upbringing?"

Lin Chen’s face paled.

Zuo An cackled. "With me, your master, here, don’t be afraid of them. Puff out your chest. Sooner or later, you’ll trample them all underfoot!"

Lin Chen trembled slightly, but his nervousness vanished instantly. He held his head high, looking directly at the Yan King and the other three, his face filled with a cold smirk.

Jiang Zhengyi shouted, "Zuo An, I advise you to repent and turn back from your erroneous ways! Stop being so obstinate!"

Zuo An cackled. "You said the same things back in Yan City all those years ago. But after so many years, haven’t I been living perfectly well? I’m not interested in any of you right now."

With a sinister laugh, Zuo An looked up at the mountaintop. "Jian Haotian, if you don’t want them to die, get your ass down here immediately!"

Fatty’s gaze wavered. "Boss, what do we do?"

Without hesitation, Qin Feiyang stood up and faced Zuo An.

"Little bastard, you’re quite capable!" Zuo An’s brows furrowed. "Last time on Eagle Claw Peak, I fell for your trick. Now I was hiding here, and you found me again. I can’t help but wonder if I owed you something in a past life." This kid is simply my bane!

With a few leaps, Qin Feiyang landed in the valley. Fatty followed closely behind him. A fierce battle was imminent, and he would only be safe if he stayed near Qin Feiyang. Elder Shi also followed, staying close to Qin Feiyang.

Wordlessly, Qin Feiyang walked step by step toward Zuo An.

A sneer played on Ma Cheng’s lips.

You foolish boy! Didn’t I tell you never to come back? Why are you so disobedient? The Bear King’s furious voice resounded in Qin Feiyang’s mind.

Qin Feiyang met its eyes and smiled. "You’ve saved my life several times. How could I just stand by and do nothing?"

"Sigh, truly foolish!" the Bear King lamented.

"Fools often have good fortune," Qin Feiyang said with a smile, then looked down at Zuo An. "I don’t want to waste words. Release them, and I’ll go with you."

"No!" the Hall Master of Martial King Palace immediately interjected.

Qin Feiyang said, "This is my personal affair. I implore you, Seniors, not to interfere."

Zuo An looked at Qin Feiyang, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"There’s nothing to consider," Qin Feiyang stated expressionlessly. "My value is far greater than theirs. I can help you refine Top Grade Bloodfiend Pills. I believe it won’t be long before you can reach the Nine-Star War Emperor realm, or perhaps even higher!"

The Yan King and the others frowned.

Zuo An glanced at the four powerhouses, a playful smirk appearing on his old face. "Your idea isn’t bad. But aren’t you afraid they’ll hunt you down?"

"Hunted down?" Qin Feiyang said coldly. "Let me tell you the truth. I had a plan. If it had been followed step by step, you would undoubtedly be dead today. But a certain old bastard let personal grudges interfere and tried to harm me. Do you think I still have anything to fear? Right now, I hate them even more than you do! I can follow you. If you’re not averse, we can even join forces. You have the power, I have the strategy. Together, we can turn Yan Province completely upside down!"

The Hall Master of Martial King Palace’s heart sank. The situation had become serious.

Ma Cheng wasn’t angry. Instead, the cold smirk on his lips deepened. Once Qin Feiyang truly reaches an agreement with Zuo An, I’ll have every reason to kill him, even in front of the Hall Master of Martial King Palace.

Zuo An glanced thoughtfully at Ma Cheng, then turned to Qin Feiyang. "You’re that confident?"

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "At the very least, I’m much stronger than that piece of trash Lin Chen."

Lin Chen clenched his fists, his gaze as dark and cold as deep water.

Zuo An chuckled. "Compared to Lin Chen, you are indeed much stronger."

"HAHAHA..." Suddenly, Zuo An burst into loud laughter.

"You little bastard! Did you think I wouldn’t know what you’re scheming?" Zuo An looked at him mockingly. "The moment I release them, you’ll definitely hide. Then, those four old dogs can attack me without any reservations."

Qin Feiyang’s heart tightened. This old fox truly isn’t easy to fool.

"Little bastard, do you know?" Zuo An sneered. "I hate you so much, I wish I could drink your blood and eat your flesh. But then I reconsidered. Killing you directly would be too lenient. I’m going to torture you, make you wish you were dead, and completely crush your spirit!"

"You want them so badly? Fine, I’ll give them to you. They’re useless to me now anyway."

Zuo An kicked the Bear King’s head. Its enormous body hurtled toward Qin Feiyang with a thunderous roar of wind!

Simultaneously, the Bear King let out a painful howl!

The Hall Master of Martial King Palace waved his hand, caught the Bear King, and gently placed it on the ground.

Qin Feiyang hurriedly looked over, only to see that the Bear King’s head had actually cracked open, with blood gushing out!

"Elder Bear King!" he roared, crouching before the Bear King and stuffing a large handful of healing pills into its mouth.

Zuo An sneered continuously as he roughly grabbed Feng Cheng! Streams of Battle Intent surged madly toward Feng Cheng’s heart.

"AHHH—" The excruciating pain jolted Feng Cheng awake!

Qin Feiyang snapped his head up, his eyes wide with fury, and charged recklessly toward Zuo An!

"Jian Haotian, calm down!" Shi Zheng quickly grabbed him, urging anxiously.

"Pain? Sadness?" Zuo An cackled. "KEKEKE... this is just the beginning. Far more suffering awaits you. One day, you will regret ever provoking me! You will kneel before me like a dog, begging me to spare your life! HAHAHA..." Zuo An laughed maniacally.

Laughing hysterically, Zuo An casually tossed Feng Cheng before Qin Feiyang like a piece of trash.

Then, he grabbed Lin Chen and soared into the sky without a backward glance!

"Where do you think you’re going?!" the Yan King and Jiang Zhengyi roared in unison, pursuing them with overwhelming momentum.

"Watch him," the Hall Master of Martial King Palace instructed Shi Zheng. Then, casting a dark glance at Ma Cheng, he also swiftly gave chase.

"HMPH!" Ma Cheng shot Qin Feiyang a look, his face thick with undisguised sarcasm. He snorted, then transformed into a streak of light and vanished over the other side of the mountain.
