Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 163 Cai Fu: Young man, your path has broadened! [1st Update]

In fact, Qiu Qiongying only knew one side of the story and not the other.

Zhang Qing challenged Lu Junyi primarily for her sake.

Lu Junyi is Qiu Qiongying's sworn brother. If he defeats Lu Junyi, wouldn't he be able to prove himself in front of Qiu Qiongying?
"Featherless Arrow" was ultimately too young; he chose the most capable fighter...

At this moment, Zhang Qing lay on the ground with Lu Junyi holding a gun to his throat, his face burning hot.

Not to mention the many heroes watching, Qiu Qiongying's disdainful gaze deeply stung him.

In addition, whenever Qiu Qiongying saw Cai Fu, she would chatter around him like a canary...

Zhang Qingyi gritted his teeth and glared:
"Dissatisfied!"

Everyone burst into laughter: You've got a gun to your throat, and you still won't admit it?
If they hadn't stopped because they saw you as one of their own, you would have been stabbed to death by now!

Cai Fu also looked at Zhang Qing in surprise:

Seriously? Why are you trying to compete with the ultimate martial arts master in Water Margin?

Losing to Lu Junyi is nothing to be ashamed of!
Zhang Qing got even more excited after everyone laughed like that:
"As everyone knows, my nickname is 'Featherless Arrow,' and all my skills lie in throwing stones!"

"I'll only accept defeat if you allow me to use the flying stones!"

Zhang Qing's statement is reasonable and well-founded.

After all, he had previously defeated fourteen leaders of Liangshan Marsh with his flying stones!
This also includes powerful generals such as Huyan Zhuo, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, and Qin Ming!

Therefore, Zhang Qing believed that as long as he was allowed to use flying stones, he could beat even Lu Junyi black and blue!
Everyone stopped laughing. Although Zhang Qing's marksmanship was mediocre, his flying stone technique was indeed exceptional.

Moreover, since Zhang Qing had defeated fourteen leaders of Liangshan Marsh, the others were not convinced.

The main reason is that everyone here is Cai Fu's men; Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Guan Sheng, and Wu Song have never fought against Zhang Qing.

They were also curious to know what the outcome would be if they were the ones fighting Zhang Qing.

"it is good!"

Lu Junyi chuckled and sheathed his spear.
"I'll give you one chance; you're allowed to use flying stones!"

Cai Fu did not stop it.

Since Zhang Qing is not convinced, then let's make him submit.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Qing wasn't resentful of him; she simply still harbored feelings for Qiu Qiongying...

If the obsession doesn't dissipate, it will always remain a knot in one's heart.

This time, everyone stood far away to avoid being caught in the crossfire of Zhang Qing's flying stones.

Zhang Qing and Lu Junyi stood facing each other, ten steps apart.

Zhang Qing held a gun in his left hand and took out a pebble from a brocade pouch at his waist with his right.

In fact, Zhang Qing, Hua Rong, "Iron Rod" Luan Tingyu, and Shi Bao, one of the four marshals of the Southern Kingdom, all follow the same pattern.

They'll exchange a couple of blows with you first, then feign defeat and run away. If you chase after them, you'll fall into their trap.

This tactic may be old, but it works well for tough guys who are all brawn and no brains.

However, this tactic didn't work on Lu Junyi.

It's not that Lu Junyi was physically strong but not intelligent; rather, it's that Lu Junyi was able to "overpower ten techniques with sheer strength"!
You might not even have a chance to feign defeat and escape; Lu Junyi would kill you with a single shot in one encounter.

Zhang Qing was just shot dead by Lu Junyi, so he's hesitating whether to go straight for the kill.

It's not impossible to start by throwing stones, but the success rate is lower compared to following a set strategy...

"Come!"

Lu Junyi was getting impatient:
What are you standing there for? You've polished the pebbles so much you've developed a patina!

"Come on, come on!"

Zhang Qing sprinted a few steps with his gun in both hands, then suddenly crouched down and spun around like Wu Dalang!
He swung his spear in a wide arc with his left hand, aiming for Lu Junyi's lower body!

At the same time, Zhang Qing's right hand was poised to launch a flying stone, waiting for Lu Junyi to reveal an opening once his vision returned!

As Zhang Qing expected, Lu Junyi should have leaped up to dodge his sweeping spear.

He could then throw the flying stone at Lu Junyi's groin, a blow that would be more damaging than a slap to the face.

However, to his surprise, Lu Junyi did not jump up at all, but instead thrust his spear at him!
That's right!

Lu Junyi neither dodged nor evaded the spear sweeping across his lower body; the twelve-foot steel spear, like a monstrous python, aimed straight for the back of his head! This was not a matter of mutual destruction, because Lu Junyi could "overpower ten techniques with sheer force"!
"when!"

Before Zhang Qing's shot could even reach Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi had already stabbed him in the back of the head with a spear!

Zhang Qing's vision went black, he groaned, and involuntarily fell forward, lying on the ground unable to get up for a long time...

I'm dead!
At this moment, Zhang Qing felt extremely regretful:
Am I crazy? Is it worth it for a woman from my dreams...?

He also deeply realized how vast the gap was between him and Lu Junyi; it was no exaggeration to say that they were worlds apart.

At that moment, his mind was filled with a cacophony of thoughts, countless ideas flashing through his head, when suddenly he heard someone beside him say earnestly:

"If it were a gun, he'd be dead already. That's not how you fight!"

Wait?

Did Lu Junyi not stab me in the back of the head with the tip of a gun?

Am I not dead yet?

Zhang Qing was dazed and confused when someone helped him up. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who helped him up was Cai Fu.

Zhang Qing shook his head, feeling the urge had passed, and facing Cai Fu, he said, his face flushed:

"Brother, I..."

"It's okay."

Cai Fu smiled and rubbed the back of his head:
There are always people better than you, and mountains beyond mountains.

"Besides, they're just sparring among brothers..."

"Do not!

"I don't want to be brothers with him!"

Zhang Qing didn't know if Lu Junyi had finally enlightened him by stabbing him in the back of the head with a gun.

Suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration, he turned around and knelt down before Lu Junyi:

"I wish to become your disciple, brother. Please give me another chance!"

After saying that, Zhang Qing kowtowed to the ground and wouldn't get up.

My head is buzzing, so I'll take this opportunity to calm down.

Cai Fu nodded with a smile: Young man, your path has broadened!
"Actually, you have good talent, but you haven't met a famous teacher and lack guidance."

Lu Junyi has high standards; in his opinion, Zhang Qing is alright.

Although not as talented as Qiu Qiongying, she is still a talented person.

Unfortunately, the talented Qiu Qiongying refused to become his apprentice, so he had to settle for taking on a talented person instead.

Lu Junyi then helped Zhang Qing up with both hands:

"Very well, I'll take you as my disciple."

"Thank you Master!"

Zhang Qing recovered and kowtowed three times to Lu Junyi:

"Disciple Zhang Qing greets Master!"

"Okay, let me introduce it to you."

Lu Junyi pulled Zhang Qing up and introduced them one by one:

"These are your eldest uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and sixth uncle..."

Finally, Qiu Qiongying was introduced: "You should call this aunt!"

Oh my god——

Zhang Qingru was struck by lightning!

He was so focused on becoming an apprentice that he completely forgot about the relationship between Qiu Qiongying and Lu Junyi.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered that Qiu Qiongying was Lu Junyi's sworn sister!
After he became Lu Junyi's apprentice, there was no longer any possibility between him and Qiu Qiongying!
But since Qiu Qiongying doesn't care about him anyway, having an invincible master isn't a bad deal...

Zhang Qing finally mustered his courage, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Qiu Qiongying:
"Greetings, Aunt!"
