Chapter 373: Chapter 0373: Another Martial Master?

"Junior Brother, that old fellow looks pretty hale and hearty, not at all like someone on his deathbed, right?"

Liang Xuwang, draping his arms around two scantily clad, handsome models, looked at Qin Aotian with confusion.

Both Liang Cheng and Liang Shi had beautiful ladies by their sides; previously, at their sect, they were strictly forbidden from engaging in romantic affairs, but now that they had come to the city, they could finally indulge themselves. So much so that they had been womanizing and reveling almost every day.

"Senior Brother, don’t be fooled by the appearance of this old thing." Qin Aotian stared at elder Zhou, his teeth gritting as he spoke:

"This old fox invited me to take care of Tang Ming last time looking the picture of health, without any semblance of issues from the outside. However, in reality, he was already at the end of his strength, seemingly using stimulants just so he could feign this condition."

"I see, then you should go test whether he’s really taken stimulants or if he’s indeed unharmed." Liang Xuwang frowned slightly, cautioning:

"Today is a good opportunity to trample the Zhou Family underfoot in front of everyone, but we must defeat them with the might of thunder. If the opponent is not injured, a head-on fight won’t create that kind of effect."

"Uncle Master, don’t worry, I’ve already investigated; the eldest, the second, and the third of the Zhou Family have already absconded with the money. If this old ghost wasn’t on his last legs, his sons wouldn’t have done such a thing," Qin Haitian quickly interjected to explain.

"That’s right. Now that elder Zhou has appointed a member of a side branch as the Family Head and established that waste of a bastard son as the Young Master. It’s nothing but smoke and mirrors to cover up the truth of his impending demise!"

Qin Aotian nodded repeatedly, sneering," I’ll take action in a moment and reveal his true state in front of all these people."

"Haha, my Zhou Family has gone through some incidents and has emerged stronger for it. Today, I announce to everyone that from now on, my son, Zhou Xianyi, will be the Family Head of the Zhou Family, and my grandson, Zhou Dafu, will officially become the sole heir, that is, the Young Master of the Zhou Family."

After the speech, elder Zhou laughed and announced his final decision.

"Hold on a moment."

Just then, Qin Aotian suddenly stood up.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the show is about to start."

Most guests were stirred up, even if they couldn’t tell whether elder Zhou was feigning strength or not, but with the Qin Family making a move, they would surely be able to gauge elder Zhou’s true depth.

"Young Qin, what’s the matter?" elder Zhou looked towards Qin Aotian with a beaming smile.

"Actually, it’s nothing serious. The Zhou and Qin families are both Martial Arts Families, and today is the Zhou Family’s big day of power transition. Why not have a little competition? It will also demonstrate the excellent traditions of Martial Arts Families to everyone present."

Qin Aotian flicked his clothes and walked confidently to the front stage, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit as he faced elder Zhou.

"To compete with me, I’m afraid that’s not quite appropriate?" elder Zhou frowned slightly, saying with a troubled expression.

"As I thought!" Upon hearing those words, many believed that elder Zhou was indeed ill and dared not respond to the challenge.

"Old fox, afraid to fight, I wonder how long you can keep up the act?"

Qin Aotian sneered inwardly, expressing emotionlessly," There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Sparring is a common affair in Jianghu. Besides, there are all kinds of rumors going around outside, and elder Zhou can just take this opportunity to quash those rumors. Wouldn’t that be beneficial?"

"Indeed, it would be good for my Zhou Family, but I worry about your health, Young Qin." elder Zhou said with a slight smile, asking with concern:

"I heard you were severely injured by a young police officer and that you were kicked quite a few times down there, resulting in... an inability to continue the family line. You surely haven’t recovered yet, have you? If I were to compete with you at this time, others might accuse me of taking advantage of someone’s misfortune."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was in uproar. Outsiders had no idea about Qin Aotian being violently beaten by Lin Xue, kicked into becoming a eunuch; now suddenly learning of this information, everyone was shocked.

The reason why the Zhou patriarch knew this secret, of course, was because he had received the news from Tang Ming himself, the purpose being to strike at Qin Aotian.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Aotian’s expression fluctuated wildly. He had not expected Zhou Zhen to bring up the matter of his being beaten by Lin Xue at this time, a martial master publicly humiliated by a mere police officer, transformed into a eunuch, a humiliation not just anyone could bear.

"Cut the crap, I see you as a dying man, now completely sustained by medicine. Even with my injuries, I can still trample you underfoot."

Enraged and humiliated, Qin Aotian roared, leaping onto the stage, he got into position and shouted spitefully, "Today, I will expose your true form and see how your Zhou Family can still stand in Songlan City."

"Hey, since that’s the case, then I might as well accompany you for a bit, Brother Qin." The Zhou patriarch sighed, and walked towards Qin Aotian reluctantly.

"Watch out."

Qin Aotian let out a furious roar, summoning his Gang Qi, and charged like lightning.

The corner of the Zhou patriarch’s mouth curled slightly upwards as, just as Qin Aotian came close to him, a powerful layer of Gang Qi surged forth from his body. He caught Qin Aotian’s fist in his hand and kicked towards Qin Aotian’s groin.

The Zhou patriarch had heard from Tang Ming how satisfying it had been when Lin Xue targeted Qin Aotian’s groin, which is why he too aimed there as he made his move.

"You..."

Qin Aotian’s face went pale, he hadn’t expected the Zhou patriarch’s cultivation to not only be undiminished but actually improved considerably. He hastily tried to retreat, but it was still a bit too late. Although he avoided a direct kick to the groin, his lower abdomen still took a hit and he was sent flying off the stage.

The Zhou patriarch’s cultivation was inherently stronger than Qin Aotian’s, a testament to the advantage of years accumulated. Furthermore, Qin Aotian was not yet recovered from his injuries, so at the first exchange, he suffered a significant loss.

Just as Qin Aotian was about to fall, Liang Xuwang flashed behind Qin Aotian and reached out to steady him.

"You’re actually unharmed?"

After stabilizing himself, Qin Aotian looked unbelievingly at the patriarch standing on the stage.

Seeing this scene, most of the guests were dumbfounded.

Wasn’t it said that the Zhou patriarch was on his deathbed?

This kick sent Qin Aotian, who was at the Martial Master Realm, flying. Where was any sign of being on the verge of death?

After witnessing the Zhou patriarch display his strength, many people quickly took out their phones to call the heads of their own family forces, spreading the news as quickly as they could.

By now, many felt regret. Previously thinking the Zhou patriarch was critically ill, these families had not taken the Zhou Family seriously, and their treatment of Zhou Xianyi and Zhou Dahai had been indifferent. But now... it was too late for regrets.

"Sorry to disappoint you, I am not critically ill," the Zhou patriarch flicked the hem of his trousers and looked at Qin Aotian with a playful expression:

"It seems your injuries haven’t healed yet. A martial master turned into a eunuch, that is truly pitiful indeed!"

"Bastard, you..." Hearing these words, Qin Aotian’s face flushed with shame. Such embarrassing matters being made public was more than he could bear.

Liang Xuwang stopped Qin Aotian from speaking further, gradually releasing his own aura as he said coldly:

"Old man, even if you are a martial master, you are still just a One-star Martial Master. By humiliating my junior in public, you deserve to die."

"Another martial master?" The crowd was in uproar.
