Urban Immortal Lord
Chapter 44 Chen Zijing's Past
This was only because Xia Tian held back; he had only used less than 10% of his spiritual power. If Xia Tian had unleashed his full power and attacked Li Fu with his peak Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivation, Li Fu would probably be reduced to ashes.
"How could you be so powerful!" Li Fu was forced to his knees by the spiritual power emanating from Xia Tian's palm. He stared at Xia Tian in horror, uttering an incredulous voice: "This is impossible! I clearly can't sense any energy from you, which means your strength is only between Ming Jin and An Jin. How could you suppress me!"
"Nothing is impossible. This world is far more complex than you imagine. What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg." Xia Tian shook his head, withdrew the spiritual power from his palm, and said, "In my eyes, so-called Grandmasters of Internal Energy are nothing but ants. Even martial arts legends are just slightly larger ants."
Li Fu struggled to his feet, completely devoid of any fighting spirit. Xia Tian's casual palm strike had severely injured him, and from then on, his martial arts cultivation would never make any further progress.
"Uncle Fu, are you alright?" Ye Tianlong quickly called to his two men to help Li Fu up. At the same time, his gaze towards Xia Tian was filled with apprehension and murderous intent.
"He's alright." Li Fu paced back and whispered to Ye Tianlong, "Mr. Ye, this person is probably already a Grandmaster-level expert. If it's not necessary, it's best not to make an enemy of him!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianlong was deeply shocked. Such a young master must be put to use, otherwise he would have to be eliminated. Otherwise, once Xia Tian grows up, he might not have a place to stand in M City anymore!
"Mr. Xia is indeed formidable, defeating this old servant of mine in a single move. I am utterly convinced." Ye Tianlong paused, then said, "How about I host a gathering at my humble abode, Mr. Xia?"
"No need!" Xia Tian shook his head, thinking to himself, Ye Tianlong is indeed a cunning old fox. Even though things are about to break down, he still doesn't show his emotions. This shows that Ye Tianlong is extremely shrewd.
Xia Tian really wanted to deal with this kind of person to avoid future trouble, but since Chen Zijing was present, he planned to take swift and decisive action to destroy Ye Tianlong on another day!
"Since everything is alright, I'll take my leave!"
After Xia Tian finished speaking, she turned around, grabbed Chen Zijing's wrist, and got into the car without looking back.
Chen Zijing quickly started the Rolls-Royce, stepped on the gas, and disappeared from Ye Tianlong's sight in a moment.
"Immediately gather all the men, grab your guns, this man must not be allowed to live!" Watching the vehicle disappear into the distance, Ye Tianlong turned to Li Fu and said, "Immediately order the snipers to shoot him dead!"
……
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?" Chen Zijing drove through the night streets, glancing at Xia Tian in the passenger seat, only to see Xia Tian's eyes slightly closed. He had a calm and composed expression, as if what had just happened didn't matter to him at all.
"Everyone has their own secrets. Although I am curious, I will not pry into other people's privacy." Xia Tian shook his head and said calmly. He knew that the woman in front of him had a distinguished background and was a member of the Chen family in Kyoto.
Xia Tian grew up in Baiyun Village, and the capital of China was extremely unfamiliar to him. However, from Ye Tianlong's wary gaze, Xia Tian could easily deduce that this so-called Chen family of Kyoto seemed to have considerable power.
"Can I share this secret with you?" Chen Zijing looked sad as she looked at the boy who was about ten years younger than her. She was suddenly a little lost. This seemingly ordinary boy always had an extraordinary temperament that deeply attracted her.
If you want to put your heart on Yaoqin, but there are few bosom friends, who will listen to the broken strings?
Perhaps Chen Zijing felt that Xia Tian was someone who could listen to her innermost thoughts...
Xia Tian nodded. He was also eager to know why this woman had left her large family in Kyoto and come to the remote city of M to open a small bar to make a living.
"In the bustling city of Kyoto, there are four super families. These four families are all martial arts families that have stood strong in Kyoto for hundreds of years. Their members are spread throughout the military, political and business circles, and can be said to control the lifeline of China."
Chen Zijing paused for a moment and said, "My Chen family is one of the four great martial arts families. There are many martial arts experts in the family, and the current head of the family is a martial arts grandmaster."
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian nodded noncommittally and chuckled, "It's not because of some so-called family political marriage that you ran away from home and opened a small bar in this remote M City again, is it?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Zijing looked at Xia Tian with an incredulous expression and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?" Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh. "Did I guess right?"
Chen Zijing retorted, "Among the four great families in Kyoto, the Chu family is the most powerful, while my Chen family is declining and gradually showing signs of being swallowed up by the other three families. My father had no choice but to propose a marriage alliance with the Chu family, hoping to leverage the Chu family's strength to ensure the continued prosperity of my Chen family!"
"Isn't this a good thing? Although you were sacrificed as a victim of a family marriage, sacrificing your own happiness to save the family's fate is not without its merits," Xia Tian comforted her.
"That's true, but I don't want to be a sacrifice for my family. My happiness should be in my own hands. Besides, that man from the Chu family is just a spoiled brat; women are nothing but playthings in his eyes!"
"You mean your fiancé?" Xia Tian couldn't help but chuckle. "You're not running away from your wedding, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zijing gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, at the engagement banquet a year ago, I took advantage of the chaos to escape. At the time, I only thought about escaping as far away as possible, but I never expected to end up in M City."
"Haha..." Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's got personality, I like it. But with the Chu family's power, finding someone nationwide shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Chen Zijing shook her head, a hint of sorrow in her eyes, and sighed, "I don't know either, but I feel very happy to have been able to break free from the constraints of my family this past year. Perhaps soon, both the Chen family and the Chu family will come to M City..."
Chen Zijing knew that since Ye Tianlong had already secretly investigated her identity, the Chen family and the Chu family would surely find out that she was in M City soon.
At that time, she would have no choice but to leave this place and complete her marriage to the eldest son of the Chu family.
After learning about Chen Zijing's situation, Xia Tian pondered for a moment before saying, "If you really don't like being controlled by fate, perhaps I can help you!"
Xia Tian admitted that he had a good impression of Chen Zijing. Although this stunningly beautiful woman was more than ten years older than him, he greatly admired her character of not giving in to the whims of fate.
"Let's forget about it. Kyoto is not like M City. I don't want you to get involved because of me. Unless you're a martial arts master..." Chen Zijing was touched when she saw Xia Tian's serious expression. "But thank you anyway. I know you're serious and genuinely want to help me."
"Are grandmasters that powerful? If I said that a mere martial arts grandmaster is nothing but an ant in my eyes, would you take back what you said before?" Xia Tian said indifferently, his eyes full of disdain for the so-called martial arts grandmaster.
"I know you're very good at fighting, but martial arts families not only have grandmaster-level experts, but also involve the military forces of China. The network of relationships behind this is intricate and complicated..." Chen Zijing couldn't help but shake her head. Perhaps Xia Tian has the strength to fight a grandmaster, but if the military is mobilized, she doesn't think Xia Tian can withstand the army's suppression on his own!
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian also showed deep thought. He knew that while a martial arts grandmaster might not be afraid of bullets, a so-called martial arts grandmaster would definitely have difficulty withstanding heavy weapons.
He is currently at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining. He estimates that he can instantly kill a martial arts master, but he is not sure if he can withstand heavy weapons unless he activates the immortal sword given to him by the Hermit of Wangchuan - Ruthless!
"call out!"
Just as Xia Tian was lost in thought, suddenly, a silenced bullet pierced the night sky, flew straight through the passenger side window, and shot towards his head.
