Chapter 592: 592

"Ah..."

The leader of the masked assassins in black screamed, desperately struggling to break free from Xiao Zheng’s grasp, but it was all in vain. He felt as if all his strength had disappeared into thin air, leaving him completely powerless against Xiao Zheng.

"Hmph."

Xiao Zheng let out a disdainful snort, his palm surged with Gang Qi, and a white stream of Gang Qi burst forth into the body of the masked man. Instantly, the assailant’s body trembled, and he became as weak as a mud puddle.

With a thud, Xiao Zheng threw the masked man to the ground, his gaze shifting elsewhere as his body burst forth again, arriving behind another masked assassin.

A gentle kick sent that person screaming instantly as his chest exploded open, splattering blood everywhere, and then he fell to the ground dead with a loud thud.

With one kick, Xiao Zheng’s power was as thunderous as a storm, piercing through the body of the masked man and exploding directly at his chest.

Even though this masked man was a Soldier King level master, a formidable figure who could dominate in an army full of masters, he couldn’t stand a single move from Xiao Zheng and died instantly.

The other masked assassins, seeing this, were terrified out of their wits, each of them frantically rushing outside, trying to escape.

However, Xiao Zheng’s speed was like a phantom; in a few breaths’ time, he easily dealt with them, letting none escape.

From the moment Xiao Zheng made his move to dealing with these masked assassins, it took no more than seven or eight breaths’ time, as swift as lightning.

Hua Muran, watching this, widened her eyes in shock. She had long known that Xiao Zheng was incredibly strong, but the scene before her still had a massive impact on her!

She herself was a Soldier King level master with exceptional knowledge in martial arts. She knew these masked men were each formidable masters, ones ordinary people might never encounter in their lives. Yet, in front of Xiao Zheng, they were as fragile as chicks. It was unimaginable how strong Xiao Zheng truly was!

After dealing with the masked men, Xiao Zheng approached Hua Muran and saw the wounds on her body, a touch of distress appearing in his eyes.

He quickly helped Hua Muran up, saying, "Are you all right?"

As he spoke, Xiao Zheng’s palm pressed against Hua Muran’s back, and a very gentle stream of Gang Qi surged from his palm into her body.

Suddenly, a miraculous scene occurred.

Hua Muran’s wounds stopped bleeding under the nourishment of the Gang Qi, and then the wounds, as if controlled by someone, tightly closed up.

Hua Muran, who had been quite weak, her complexion pale, also started to recover under this Gang Qi. Her complexion turned rosy and her eyes regained their sparkle.

"How miraculous... is this the legendary inner strength?" Hua Muran exclaimed in awe.

She felt the changes in her own body.

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and said, "What inner strength? That’s something from martial arts novels. What entered your body just now was Gang Qi. After stepping into the Innate Realm, each person will generate this miraculous energy within their body, which has many wondrous effects."

Hua Muran practiced martial arts mainly under the guidance of Xiao Zheng, and she herself had little contact with the martial arts world. Thanks to Xiao Zheng’s previous guidance, she had reached the Soldier King level, but she had no way to enhance her knowledge. Therefore, she was not very clear about matters concerning Innate Masters.

"Alright, let’s go and ask that assassin who exactly directed him to come here." After doing all this, Xiao Zheng smiled and walked towards the black-clothed, masked assassin leader.

Just now, he had killed the rest of the assassins with an extremely fierce attitude, but he left the black-clothed, masked leader alive specifically to interrogate him for information.

However, just as Xiao Zheng had taken a step, he found that his clothes were being grabbed. Somewhat surprised, he looked back and saw Hua Muran with a somewhat sad shake of her head and a tone almost pleading, "Let’s not ask anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng paused, then as if he understood something, he deeply looked at Hua Muran, smiled slightly, and said, "Alright, then I’ll listen to you."

Xiao Zheng was a very intelligent person and naturally could discern a lot from Hua Muran’s expression. It seemed Hua Muran already knew who had directed these assassins, and their identity made Hua Muran reluctant to investigate further.

Thus, there was only one possibility, it was an act by a relative of Hua Muran!

Xiao Zheng immediately thought of Hua Muran’s brother, Hua Youwei. Ever since Hua Haishan decided to fully pass the position of Family Head to Hua Muran, Hua Youwei had gone somewhat mad, and for the sake of power, had committed some crazy acts.

"Ah, this is a major family for you, where everyone loves to fight for power and benefits, but there is no longer any kinship. Muran, being in such a ruthless family, it’s really hard on her."

Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly.

Then, he looked towards the leader in the black mask who was powerless, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, he gently kicked a stone on the ground.

Suddenly, that stone shot out, tracing a chilling path in the air, and with a ’puchi’ sound, it pierced right into the forehead of the leader.

The leader’s eyes widened, filled entirely with the fear of death, yet he had no strength to struggle, and could only watch his death approaching, until finally his body twitched once and he was completely dead.

Xiao Zheng carried Hua Muran on his back, gently saying, "Alright, this matter is over now, let’s go back."

"Hmm."

Hua Muran obediently nodded her head, her arms tightly embracing Xiao Zheng as if afraid he would slip away. At this moment, smelling the strong masculine scent of Xiao Zheng, she felt a sweetness in her heart; this man had once again saved her from a dire situation!

But what Hua Muran could not see, was a cold look that flashed through Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to harm Muran, you will pay the price!" Xiao Zheng thought coldly to himself.

At this time, Luo Yusheng had already started an investigation, and it was expected that soon, the person who had bought Xue Zheng, would be exposed. Then, it would be time for that person to regret!
