Chapter 787 - Beat down
Ghost gave a little sigh, then stepped forward and executed a perfect shoulder throw.
“Arghh…”
Zheng Feihan let out a painful scream. His large body, which weighed about a hundred and seventy to a hundred and eighty pounds, fell crashing down onto the ground. He hit the ground violently, and it felt like all the bones in his body had shattered. Blood rose to his throat, and there was a fishy smell in his mouth. He knew it was blood. As he was about to swallow it down, he felt a blow to his chest.
Ghost slammed her foot down with brutal force, causing the bones in Zheng Feihan’s ribcage to crack. It was audible to everyone as it made a similar cracking sound to a beam snapping when it could not withstand too heavy a weight.
“Urghh!”
Zheng Feihan could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of thick, fresh blood.
That…
That scene surprised many of the people who were there. They were staring in awe at the ordinary-looking girl who had slammed Zheng Feihan onto the ground in one swoop. He was a student from the Mu City Academy and was at the cultivation level of a Senior Martial Master. How could that be possible?
Silence.
The entire second floor of Zuixian was so quiet that one could only hear the clock ticking and one’s own breathing.
Luo Jinshi and Hu Qingsong were just as surprised. They had thought the two strangers would give in to Zheng Feihan and never imagined that the opposite would occur—as it turned out, Zheng Feihan had kicked a chopping board.
“Are you still planning to occupy our table?”
Ghost glared at Zheng Feihan with her hands on her waist. She was angry, and her pretty face expressed how she felt as she gritted her white teeth tightly. How dare he annoy her while she was waiting to enjoy the world’s most delicious delicacies! There was no way she was going to forgive him.
Zheng Feihan, with a foot stepping on his chest, could no longer say anything and even found it extremely tough to breathe right then. He looked into Ghost’s eyes with shock. He could never have imagined the situation he found himself in—allowing a girl to step on him and not being able to do anything to stop it.
“Let Senior Zheng go!”
The male student came back to his senses, pulled out his long sword, and was about to slash Ghost with it.
Ghost stared at him with a mischievous smile. She reached out with her slender hand and grabbed the long sword, trapping it easily between her fingers. The sharp and long sword would not budge, and the student could no longer slash anything with it.
Stopped the sword with her bare hand?
Everyone watching gasped. At that moment, no one regarded Ghost as a harmless young girl anymore. That she could stop a sword wielded by a senior Martial Master with her bare hand was more than enough to show how terrifyingly powerful she was.
“Stopping the sword with her bare hand… how is that possible?”
Luo Jinshi widened his eyes, and his jaws dropped. Everything he had just witnessed confounded him.
Supervisor Hu Qingsong’s hand holding a pair of chopsticks trembled uncontrollably. He might have been a supervisor, but he was only at the level of a Martial Spirit. Even with his powers, there was absolutely no way he could have stopped that sword in the way she did. The young girl did not grab the sword, but she used her fingers to trap the sword. She did not have any True Inner Force at all, yet she possessed a terrifying amount of power. Where exactly did the girl come from?
CLANG!
Suddenly, Ghost turned her wrist, and the sword in the student’s hand split into two.
“There are so many hateful jerks here. Get lost!”
Ghost shouted breathlessly. Then, she slammed her palm on the chest of the student.
Her slender hand looked weak and delicate, but when she slammed it into the student’s chest, the look on his face instantly changed. The student could feel an overpowering force surging through and he was thrown back, losing all control of his body.
BAM!
He slammed into the opposite table and smashed everything on it. Dishes were sent flying and wine spilled all over the place, and the student laid on the floor groaning in pain.
The customers at the table reacted quickly and got out of the way just in time to avoid a disaster.
Fear… An indescribable fear filled the hearts of everyone there. The furious look on Ghost’s face caused that fear. She broke a sword into two with her bare hand and sent a Senior Martial Master flying with a thrust of her palm. It was not something anyone could have imagined. Suddenly, Ghost became a terrifying creature to everyone.
The remaining two female students broke into a cold sweat. They never thought something like that could happen. When Ghost glared at them with her apricot eyes, they could not help but shiver and sensed impending danger. They instinctively looked at Xiao Luo, whom they assumed was a mere Martial Master. If they could forcibly subdue him and use him as a hostage, then they would not end up like Zheng Feihan.
As soon as the thought occurred to them, their swords rang when drawn from the scabbards, and the two girls charged toward Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo was drinking his tea, and he was quite amused when he saw them charging toward him. Xiao Luo waved his hand slightly, and a powerful surge of energy blasted the swords and sent them flying out of their hands. Xiao Luo then stretched out his hands in front of him in a grabbing gesture, and the two female students were suddenly drawn toward him. He caught them both by their throats.
The move startled the two girls, and they tried to break free from Xiao Luo’s grasp. But there was a powerful force of energy going through his hands, and the girls made gurgling sounds as they tried to escape from his strangulation. Their faces immediately turned red, and they felt close to losing consciousness.
Despair, helplessness, and fear overwhelmed the girls!
The onlookers got another surprise when they witnessed Xiao Luo subduing the two female students from the Mu City Academy. They were at the cultivation level of a Senior Martial Master, while Xiao Luo was merely a Martial Master. And it made little sense that a Martial Master could subdue two Senior Martial Masters.
“How is this possible? How can a mere Martial Master subdue a Senior Martial Master? And he even overcame two of them at once!” said Luo Jinshi. His view of the world as he knew it seemed topsy-turvy. The incidents not only surprised Luo Jinshi but also horrified him a little.
Hu Qingsong did not say a word. His mouth opened slightly, and he was in shock.
“Senior Luoluo, throw them out. Just looking at them annoys me to bits!” Ghost said as she furrowed her brows.
“True,” answered Xiao Luo, nodding his head in agreement.
Without hesitation, he threw both the female students out of the window.
“Scr*w this Grandpa Duck. How can you be this cruel to those two pretty girls?” Duck Emperor quacked softly.
Ghost threw Zheng Feihan and the other male student out as well. Then, she sat back down on her seat nonchalantly, acting as if nothing had occurred.
All at once, the entire second floor went quiet again.
After witnessing the series of shocking and mind-blowing events, everyone there felt they were dreaming and had not fully awoken, even though it was already midday.
“Are our dishes on their way?” Xiao Luo asked the boss of Zuixian, giving the man an enquiring look.
The boss of Zuixian smiled worriedly and wondered to himself how Xiao Luo could still be in the mood to eat. He had severely beaten up those students from the Mu City Academy, and the boss marveled at how daring Xiao Luo was, but he felt Xiao Luo should hurry to leave instead.
He smiled anxiously. “Dear customers, you better hurry and run. They are students from the Mu City Academy, and they will not accept what just happened and let you off so easily.”
“If they dare come back again, this girl here will smack them up so badly that their teeth will be strewn all over the floor,” Ghost said.
When they heard that, the boss and his waiter felt like fainting. The Mu City Academy was the most formidable force in these parts. These two strangers could beat one or two of them up, but how could they beat up every skillful fighter from the Mu City Academy?
