Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 292: Zhang Xiaogao shouted loudly: We were careless! We fell for that bastard Zhang Jie's trick!

Vigorous exercise after meals is bad for your health.
This sounds nice, but frankly, it's just an excuse that Zhang Jie, Cheng Xiao, and Gao Hongliang came up with out of wishful thinking because they didn't want to be beaten up by Zheng Zha under the guise of testing their cultivation results.

Zheng Zha looked around, seeing Zhang Jie's "sincere" concern, Cheng Xiao nodding in agreement with feigned seriousness, and Gao Hongliang's obviously lack of confidence and shifty eyes. He could no longer suppress the smile on his lips, which finally turned into a clear sneer.

"Heh." Zheng Zha cracked his wrists, the bones making a slight popping sound. "Strenuous exercise after a meal? That's a very creative excuse, but I think..."

With our enhanced physique, we can completely ignore this problem.

Zheng Zha grinned maliciously as he walked step by step toward Zhang Jie and the other two. The invisible pressure he exuded caused Zhang Jie, Cheng Xiao, and Gao Hongliang to instinctively take a half-step back, their eyes frantically searching for a non-existent escape route.

"Wait, Zheng Zha, let's talk this out!" Zhang Jie hurriedly waved his hand, trying to make a last-ditch effort. "Look, Luo Li just woke up today. Instead of wasting your time on the three of us men, you might as well spend it with Luo Li."

Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang's eyes lit up immediately, and they echoed, "Brother Jie is right! Luo Li has just woken up and needs someone to accompany her. Why don't you just ignore us and spend the rest of your time with Luo Li?"

Zheng Zha paused, his sinister smile turning into hesitation. Zhang Jie and the other two were secretly delighted, thinking they had succeeded, but then they saw a mischievous glint flash in Zheng Zha's eyes, and his sinister smile returned.

"You're right, Lori does need my company. But it won't take long to beat you all up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zha suddenly accelerated, his figure approaching the three like a ghost in the night. "You guys behave yourselves and don't resist. It'll save me time and you'll get beaten less!"

Seeing that Zheng Zha was determined to make a move, Zhang Jie immediately yelled, "Split up and run!"

Just as Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang were about to do as instructed, they felt an invisible force coming from behind, pushing them toward Zheng Zha.

The two immediately realized that Zhang Jie was using telekinesis to trick them.

"Damn it! Zhang Jie, you betrayed your teammates again!" The two cursed Zhang Jie for being a scoundrel, but their bodies, under the sneak attack of telekinesis, uncontrollably crashed into Zheng Zha.

Faced with the two men's angry outbursts, Zhang Jie waved his hand without turning his head and shouted, "Sorry, brothers, I'm going first!"

Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang desperately approached Zheng Zha. Under the control of telekinesis, the two danced wildly, trying to adjust their posture, but to no avail.

Seeing Zheng Zha's iron fist about to land on his face, Cheng Xiao quickly covered his face and shouted.

"Brother Zheng, please spare him!"

Zheng Zha laughed loudly and threw out both fists at once, interrupting Cheng Xiao's pleas for mercy. His strength was just right, neither seriously injuring him nor causing him unbearable pain.

Two muffled thuds were accompanied by screams. Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang, who had no intention of fighting Zheng Zha in a real gunfight, were sent flying like kites with broken strings, landing awkwardly on the grass.

Then the two of them lay on the grass groaning and pretending to be seriously injured and unable to get up.

This scene was witnessed by Zhang Jie, who turned around to look back. Frustrated, Zhang Jie yelled, "You two are spineless! You play dead after taking a couple of hits?! Can't you have any backbone?! Get up and hold him off!"

Amidst their grumbling, Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang exchanged a glance, then immediately rolled their eyes and stuck out their tongues, pretending to have been knocked unconscious by Zheng Zha's punch. Seeing their reaction, Zheng Zha, who had originally intended to give them two more punches and a matching panda eye, couldn't bring himself to do it.

Just then, Zhang Jie started cursing again, angrily calling Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang a pair of cowards.

Zhang Jie's curses were exceptionally clear in the night wind, and every word reached Zheng Zha's ears.

"Heh, I almost forgot there's one more." Zheng Zha abandoned Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang, who were pretending to be dead, and leaped after Zhang Jie.

After Zheng Zha left, Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang, who had been rolling their eyes and sticking out their tongues, immediately returned to normal. The two smiled at each other, carefully shifted their bodies, and lay down on the grass in a comfortable position with a good view, waiting for the scene of Zhang Jie being beaten up by Zheng Zha to unfold.

Hearing the whooshing sound behind him, Zhang Jie's cursing stopped abruptly. He didn't need to turn around to know that Zheng Zha had caught up. He instantly used his telekinesis to create several invisible barriers behind him, trying to slow down Zheng Zha's speed.

It's not that Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang aren't putting up with it anymore. Why don't you take it out on them? Why waste your time chasing me? You'd be better off spending that time with Luo Li.
Zhang Jie mentally cursed, but his feet didn't dare to slack off. With the help of telekinesis, he dashed left and right across the lawn with a maneuverability that even Zheng Zha couldn't achieve, trying to shake off the pursuers.

Although Zhang Jie's maneuverability temporarily prevented Zheng Zha from catching him, he knew that this was only a temporary measure. With Zheng Zha's short-range explosive power, he would definitely be able to catch him after a few more attempts.

Zhang Jie's prediction quickly came true. Just as he used his telekinesis to make another sharp turn and try to create distance, Zheng Zha's eyes flashed, and he suddenly exerted force with his feet. He used the explosive technique that he had mastered before, instantly creating a deep crater in the grass. He accelerated a second time like a cannonball, smashing through several telekinetic barriers in front of him!
"caught you!"

Zhang Jie felt a gust of wind coming from behind him and thought to himself that something was wrong. Just as he was about to use all his telekinetic power to push himself forward, a large, iron-like hand firmly pressed down on his shoulder. The immense force pressed down on him, rendering all his struggles futile.

Seeing Zheng Zha's iron fist about to land on his face, Zhang Jie shouted with his eyes closed, "Zheng Zha! Don't hit me! I have something to say! You'll regret it if you don't listen!"

Zheng Zha's fist stopped abruptly in front of Zhang Jie's nose, the force of which made Zhang Jie's hair fly backward.

"Say!"

Zhang Jie opened his eyes with lingering fear, carefully pushed Zheng Zha's fist away, and said with lingering fear, "Zheng Zha, I knew I couldn't avoid this beating."

But I don't want to take the blame. I was just an accomplice in instructing Lori to beat you up; the mastermind was someone else.

So, you know what I mean, right?

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "I know who you're talking about, and I understand what you mean. You just want me to go easy on you."

Zhang Jie nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, saying, "That's right, exactly. You see, I was forced to take the blame. So, like Cheng Xiao and Gao Hongliang, you can throw a punch or two as a token gesture, how about that?"

Zheng Zha chuckled and said, "No way!"

Then, to Zhang Jie's incredulous expression, Bangbang punched him twice, giving him the same panda eyes.
