Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Titan vs. The Second in the Sky Ranking

The young man’s sly smile faded, "I am the second-ranked on the Sky List—Mo Qingyun, your strength isn’t bad; you’re qualified to challenge me."

What the fuck, Mo Qingyun?

The audience was stunned; this was a legendary figure, someone that normal people couldn’t even catch the eye of. Thus, it was always him challenging others, and no one dared to challenge him.

It must’ve been the formidable strength of this huge fella that ignited his desire to fight.

But Titan was taken aback, "Mo Qingyun? Never heard of him, sounds like a girl’s name."

"You’re fucking asking for it!"

"Scared? Not even," Titan’s face finally lit up with excitement, battling a worthy opponent was one of life’s great pleasures after all.

"Both of you come at me, it makes no difference. You’re all ducks to me; whether it’s one or a flock, I’ll drive them all."

"What the fuck is Wu Xueyang anyway? I’ll only have a showdown with you!" Mo Qingyun’s tone was extremely arrogant, probably a cold and merciless person.

"Fight, fight! We’ve got a good show coming!"

The audience erupted into applause and whistles, eager to witness a clash of titans—second-ranked on the Sky List, and that big guy, both top-notch masters; there would surely be excitement to see.

"Hold on!"

Xiao Zheng stood up, lit a cigarette and looked nonchalantly at Mo Qingyun, "Titan, come down."

Titan was confused; such a good opportunity to fight, and the boss was stopping him, such a letdown. He let go of Wu Xueyang’s neck and prepared to descend from the ring.

But he was stopped by Mo Qingyun who angrily said, "You say fight, we fight, you say stop, we stop—where does that leave my face?"

"I listen to the boss, I won’t fight with you!" Titan’s trust in Xiao Zheng was beyond doubt. There must be a reason to be called off the ring; one just had to obey.

Mo Qingyun glanced at Zhu Chanji standing beside Xiao Zheng, frowning slightly, but it was fleeting. He coldly said, "You must be the big guy’s boss, right? Why won’t you let him fight?"

"This has all been a misunderstanding; there was never an intention to challenge you. Let’s just drop it," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, quite courteously.

This was all a plot by Zhu Chanji to stir up hatred towards Xiao Zheng. And now, having already dealt with Wu Xueyang, to offend Mo Qingyun would be to truly fall into the trap.

Xiao Zheng wasn’t that naïve; he knew when to stop while he was ahead, one must keep a low profile.

Mo Qingyun was relentless, "If you don’t want the big guy to fight, then why don’t you fight? If you beat me, I’ll let you all off the hook."

The members of Futu were stunned; this was not just an affront to the Evil God but a disregard for their leader.

Zhu Chanji furrowed his brow, slightly troubled. These Sky List folks were powerful and had backing—it was truly hard to handle them.

That was also why he had invited Xiao Zheng over—to curb their spirit, to make them more restrained and less arrogant.

Xiao Zheng exhaled a ring of smoke and shook his head.

"Titan, Long Qie, let’s go!"

"Stop right there!" Mo Qingyun stepped forward, blocking Titan’s path, and then turned to Xiao Zheng, "They say you’re the Evil God, huh? Is that all the courage you’ve got?"

"Shut up!" Zhu Chanji finally lost his patience and shouted at Mo Qingyun, his beard trembling with his bellow.

"Huh..."

Mo Qingyun was puzzled, as it was the first time Zhu Chanji had yelled at him like that, especially in front of so many people, making it hard for him to save face.

However, faced with the grandmaster of Futu, he still felt pressure and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Zheng left with his two generals.

Zhu Chanji watched Xiao Zheng’s retreating figure with a face that alternated between light and shadow. He waved his hand to the platform, and the contests continued.

Yet the commotion there was no longer Xiao Zheng’s concern.

They had already left the base, preparing to depart.

However, Titan seemed somewhat lackluster, "Brother Xiao, why didn’t you let me fight that little twerp?"

Xiao Zheng didn’t even turn his head, and said leisurely, "Being used as a pawn without knowing it, if we keep fighting, we’ll only sink deeper. Offending the core members of Futu won’t do us any good."

"Brother Xiao, is this why Zhu Chanji asked you to come?" Long Qie’s face also turned cold.

As one of Sky Net’s top generals, he could be driven by the Evil God, but that didn’t mean he could be driven by just anyone, such as Futu, they hadn’t earned that kind of status yet.

Xiao Zheng pinched out his cigarette, and said indifferently, "This old guy, killing two birds with one stone, is really tricky to deal with!"

Suddenly, Long Qie’s ears twitched, and an odd smile appeared on his face, "Brother Xiao, we’ve got a little tail behind us, want to get rid of it?"

"No need! Such trash, we can kill in a second," Xiao Zheng said without looking back, and continued straight ahead.

...

As night fell, the three men finally returned to Zhonghai City.

Long Qie leaned close to Xiao Zheng and whispered, "Brother Xiao, the tail is still there."

"There’s an alley over there, wait for him there," Xiao Zheng said with an expressionless face, leading Long Qie and Titan into a secluded alley.

It wasn’t long before the person following them all this time showed up, it was Mo Qingyun.

"Eh? Where are they?"

Mo Qingyun was bewildered, having chased from the sea base to Zhonghai City, yet he had lost them now.

This damn Evil God, such a coward, the Steersman valued him so much, I thought he was some formidable character, but it turns out he’s just this kind of shrinking turtle.

No, I must find them, to utterly crush them and relieve the hatred in my heart.

With that thought, Mo Qingyun took out three sections of fine steel from his backpack, assembled them into a battle halberd, slung it over his shoulder, and entered the secluded alley.

The alley wasn’t long, and at the end, he found it was a dead end, and there was a man standing at the end of the alley smoking a cigarette.

Mo Qingyun looked over in the moonlight, and to his surprise, it was Xiao Zheng; was he waiting for me?

"Evil God?"

"Precisely! I didn’t expect to be followed by the second-ranked person on the heavenly list. I’m not sure if I should consider it an honor, or if you should consider it a tragedy?" Xiao Zheng looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, his face mockingly amused.

"Phweee..."

A whistle came from the mouth of the alley, Mo Qingyun turned his head to look, and there were Long Qie and Titan, watching him with interest, clearly up to no good.

Damn, I’ve been tricked!

In such a secluded dead end, with the entrance blocked, it really was a dilemma with no way to heaven and no doors to hell.

Long Qie let out a cold laugh, "Little twerp, you’ve sure got some nerve following us to Zhonghai City, are you itching for a beating?"

"Hm?"

It was indeed premeditated, Mo Qingyun thought hatingly, his eyes narrowing with disdain.

"You three spineless rats, daring to plot against me, you’re seeking death!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Xiao Zheng threw back his head and laughed, "Brave or not, let’s talk after the fight, you’re not afraid, are you?"

Mo Qingyun felt a bit of panic, having had a close encounter with Titan, he knew he was a master; and the strength of the Evil God and Long Qie was estimated to be on par. The three of them against him was definitely a beating he couldn’t handle, a real headache.

Suddenly, a flash of thought crossed his mind, "Evil God, what kind of skill is it to gang up on someone? How about we duel one-on-one?"

"One-on-one my ass, any one of the three of us brothers could trash you," Xiao Zheng likewise was in a playful mood, picking up a brick from the corner and throwing it over.
