Chapter 331: Chapter 0331: Facing Obstacles Everywhere
In less than a minute, a combination crossbow appeared in Shen Yan’s hands.
"To think you’d still dare to come and check, as soon as you enter my range, I’ll shoot you dead."
Shen Yan held the crossbow, aiming through the curtain at Tang Ming, like she was targeting a prey about to fall into a trap.
Tang Ming, hands in his pockets, walked out of the villa’s gate and towards the target villa. It was when Tang Ming was crossing the street that two middle-aged men, laughing and talking, approached from both ends of the road.
When Tang Ming arrived at Shen Yan’s doorstep, those four middle-aged men just happened to walk near him.
Tang Ming squinted his eyes and stopped walking, for he had long noticed that these four middle-aged men were coming for him.
"Why did you stop?"
Seeing Tang Ming stop at the doorstep, Shen Yan became anxious inside. Although Tang Ming had already entered her range, the distance wasn’t quite safe. The closer he was, the higher her chances of assassinating him would be.
Tang Ming stood there smiling, yet he was constantly cultivating secretly, vigilantly thinking:
"To deal with four Nine-star Martial Artists at the same time, if I want a quick battle, I’ll have to use poison."
"I can’t wait any longer, die!" Shen Yan gritted her teeth, opened a crack in the window, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Attack." Just at that moment, one of the middle-aged men who had approached Tang Ming first, suddenly leapt up, kicking towards Tang Ming’s head.
Tang Ming’s eyes sparkled, and then...
The man who had jumped up, aiming a perfect roundhouse kick at Tang Ming’s head, was still mid-air when a black arrow pierced through his calf.
"Ah!" The middle-aged man screamed in pain, crashing to the ground, clutching his leg in agony.
"Go." The other three men reacted, getting ready to make their move, only to collapse to the ground powerless, evidently poisoned.
"So it’s her!"
The moment Shen Yan made her move, Tang Ming recognized this unlucky assassin and felt no more worries.
"Damn it. I could have pierced Tang Ming’s throat with one arrow, but that bastard suddenly jumped out and used his leg to block the attack with his leg."
Shen Yan hid behind the wall, cursing in frustration.
Tang Ming couldn’t be bothered with Shen Yan. He brought his car over, threw the four high-rank poisoned martial artists inside, and then drove out of the neighborhood.
After nightfall, Old Master Zhou sat in his study with a grave expression, and asked:
"Why haven’t they returned yet?"
"Maybe Tang Ming hasn’t returned home yet?" Zhou Xianren said uncertainly:
"Father, don’t worry, all four of them are Nine-star Martial Artists. Even if they were facing a grandmaster, they could hold their ground, let alone against someone like Tang Ming."
"I hope so, but I have a bad feeling about this..."
Old Master Zhou uneasily rubbed his forehead.
"Dad, Grandpa, something’s wrong!"
Just then, Zhou Haotian rushed into the study, his face filled with terror.
"What happened, have they failed?" Old Master Zhou suddenly stood up and urgently asked.
"Not only did he fail, but..." Zhou Haotian hesitated.
"But what? Do you want to kill us with suspense?" Zhou Xianren urged anxiously.
"See for yourselves." Zhou Haotian quickly turned on the TV.
The TV was broadcasting a news report, stating that four middle-aged men were shamelessly tied up naked on the stage at the cultural square, and each man’s body was marked with a huge character. Together, these characters read: "Zhou Family Martial Artist."
"How could this happen?" Zhou Xianren’s eyes widened as he shouted in disbelief.
"This... this... Puh!" Seeing his own family’s four Nine-star Martial Artists stripped and bound in an open square, Old Master Zhou was so agitated that he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Having high-rank Martial Artists from a Martial Arts Family humiliated like this, the Zhou Family was destined to become the laughingstock of the entire Songlan City, an utter disgrace!
"Dad, you must take care of your health!" Zhou Xianren rushed over to support Old Master Zhou.
"Quick, send someone to bring them back."
Old Master Zhou said tremblingly.
"Grandfather, if we go to pick them up now, wouldn’t that be like admitting in front of everyone that they are from our Zhou Family?"
Zhou Haotian, struck by an idea, suggested, "Otherwise, let’s say that this was an intentional smear campaign to avoid..."
"Smear your grandpa!" Old Master Zhou grabbed a book from the table and threw it at Zhou Haotian, yelling angrily:
"These are our Zhou Family’s four Nine-star Martial Artists! Which is more important, face or the family’s strength?"
"Haotian, go and fetch them, don’t anger your grandfather."
Zhou Xianren also knew the importance of high-rank Martial Artists to the family. Even at the risk of embarrassment, they had to secure those four people.
Zhou Haotian hurried to retrieve the people, only to discover that all four Nine-star Martial Artists had been poisoned, and one even had a black arrow embedded in his calf. This situation completely exceeded Old Master Zhou’s expectations.
After some inquiries, the high-rank Martial Artists did not know what happened; they could only speculate that Tang Ming had poisoned them, which would cause poisoning upon proximity, and they also frantically warned the Zhou Family members that someone was covertly protecting Tang Ming, and the skilled archer was wounded by Tang Ming’s protector.
Having heard this intelligence, Old Master Zhou was completely devastated. He had initially thought Tang Ming was just a minor bodyguard but did not expect him to not only use poison but also have an expert covertly protecting him, making four Nine-star Martial Artists fail miserably. Even if he, a martial master, personally took action, he might not gain any advantage.
Besides, Old Master Zhou, a strong martial master, was currently unable to unleash the combat power of a martial master, making it even more impossible to confront Tang Ming.
This day was truly a disaster for the Zhou Family and Old Master Zhou. Encountering obstacles was one thing, but the public humiliation of the family’s four Nine-star Martial Artists on the news eroded the Zhou Family’s face completely, turning them into an object of mockery for everyone.
Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Old Master Zhou was so infuriated that he fell seriously ill, and no one else in the Zhou Family dared to hassle Tang Ming anymore, for all of the family’s disgrace stemmed from Tang Ming.
During dinner, Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, and Tang Ming were watching TV while eating.
"Oh my, I really didn’t expect it, the Zhou Family people are so perverted, a bunch of high-rank Martial Artists streaking together!"
Li Xiaoli pointed at the TV report and exclaimed disgustingly.
"It is indeed a bit perverted, but surely, they did not do this voluntarily? Otherwise, who would do such a thing?"
Liu Mengting analyzed calmly.
"Anyway, all the Zhou Family are bad guys, they deserved the embarrassment." Li Xiaoli chuckled gleefully.
"How can you even include Zhou Dafu in your curse, how has he wronged you?"
Liu Meng gently chided Li Xiaoli, joking and laughing.
