Chapter 174: Made Him Cry!

Zhong Xiang was very angry! Extremely angry!

To think that he was an absolute prodigy of the younger generation, a being with the potential to step into the Twelfth Order Supreme God realm in the future. Although he was currently only a Fourth Order cultivator, he would never cower even when facing those Seventh or Eighth Order cultivators.

He had overpowered countless prodigies, defeated countless older generation powerhouses, and his prestige shook the world. He was praised by the Great Teacher as the Southern Kirin, adorned with countless honors. When had he ever suffered such a loss? He didn't even have a chance to make a move before he was directly overturned!

Especially when he saw his own guards scurrying around like headless flies, allowing that damned brat to carry him away in broad daylight under everyone's eyes, the frustration in his heart was indescribable.

"Trash! They're all trash!"

Zhong Xiang cursed in his heart with rage.

Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to the group of guards who were like headless flies. He carried Zhong Xiang to the place where he and Chen Xu were hiding. At this time, Chen Xu was still unconscious and had not woken up.

Like throwing garbage, Zhang Chen casually threw Zhong Xiang on the ground, splashing up dust.

Zhang Chen took the Body Immobilization Talisman and Invisibility Talisman from Zhong Xiang's body, but the Suppression Talisman still suppressed the power within him. After all, they still had to travel in the mountains, and he couldn't carry Zhong Xiang all the time, could he?

At this time, Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang with a smile: "Young Master, we meet again."

"You lowly commoner, how dare you attack me? Do you know my identity? If I escape, I will definitely have your entire family executed and leave no trace."

Zhong Xiang glared at Zhang Chen. Noticing that he had regained his mobility, he quickly got up from the ground, wanting to mobilize his abilities to fight Zhang Chen desperately, but unfortunately, he couldn't gather any supernatural power at all.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiang also practiced martial arts, and his martial arts cultivation was not bad. He directly took a step forward and punched Zhang Chen.

Facing Zhong Xiang's punch, Zhang Chen smiled. The next moment, he took out a knife from his waist: "To be honest, if I were you, I would honestly be a prisoner."

No matter how high your martial arts are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. When Zhong Xiang saw the large knife that Zhang Chen took out, he immediately cowered, retracted his fist, and stood in place, glaring at Zhang Chen: "Boy, do you know my identity?"

"I don't need to know your identity. I only need to know that you are just a prisoner now."

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "I advise you to cooperate obediently, and don't do anything you shouldn't do."

Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen's large knife, and then felt the power in his body being suppressed. His entire face twisted, and he angrily rebuked: "If you have the ability, then kill me. If you can't kill me, sooner or later I will make your entire family die!"

"Oh ho, you actually dare to threaten me? I think you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Zhang Chen smiled, and the blade in his hand directly slashed towards Zhong Xiang's face, startling Zhong Xiang to retreat repeatedly.

Although he had an immortal body, he definitely didn't want to be cut with a knife. The feeling of pain was really uncomfortable.

Zhang Chen looked at the flustered Zhong Xiang, too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, he removed Chen Xu's Invisibility Talisman and splashed Chen Xu awake with cold water.

"Young Master, where are we?"

As soon as Chen Xu opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Chen's smiling face and immediately sat up with a start.

"I still need you to find the dragon and determine the pulse, and find the entrance to the main tomb chamber within three days. Now that the Feng Shui power of the great tomb is leaking, the strong from all walks of life may have already begun to move towards this place. You still need to find the entrance to the main tomb chamber as soon as possible."

Zhang Chen said to Chen Xu.

"The entrance to the main tomb chamber, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find in ten days or half a month."

Chen Xu didn't dare to lie at this time, let alone boast. The experience of being buried alive before was still vivid in his mind, and it had scared him.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Sir, please try your best."

Chen Xu stroked his rumbling stomach. Suddenly, his eyes saw Zhong Xiang standing aside with a gloomy face, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes: "Young Master, Zhong Xiang has caught up, run quickly!"

When Chen Xu saw Zhong Xiang, he thought that Zhong Xiang had caught up. A look of horror appeared in his eyes, like a frightened bird, and he got up and ran.

"Don't run, this Young Master Zhong Xiang is fascinated by my looks and charm, and wants to follow me for a while. We are now a group, and we will have to cooperate next."

Zhang Chen said with a smile.

While saying that, Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang: "Young Master Zhong, don't you think so?"

Zhong Xiang's face was gloomy and his voice was cold, and murderous intent was brewing in his eyes: "There will be a time when you regret it! When the strong members of my Zhong family come to your door, it will be your death."

Chen Xu stopped, turned his head to look at the tense Zhong Xiang, and Zhang Chen who was smiling triumphantly. With his intelligence, how could he not know what had happened?

Immediately, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, and then said to Zhang Chen: "Young Master, you captured the Southern Kirin? How did you do it?"

He thought that he had overestimated Zhang Chen by several levels, but he never thought that in the end he still underestimated Zhang Chen.

That was the Southern Kirin who shook the world!

He was a person in the Jianghu, and mixing with Feng Shui was also equivalent to half a person in the world of different people. Where had he not heard of the great name of the Southern Kirin?

"Despicable villain! Shameless sneak attack!"

Hearing Chen Xu's words 'captured', it seemed to have hurt Zhong Xiang's sensitive nerve. At this time, he scolded with an ugly face.

"Hehe, what is despicable? Being despicable is not shameful. It is shameful that you have been reduced to a prisoner and are at the mercy of others."

Zhang Chen retorted with confidence.

"You..."

Zhong Xiang glared at Zhang Chen, his chest heaving with anger and unable to speak. He simply turned around and looked at the distant mountains and forests, too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Chen. At this time, he secretly hoped that his guards and reinforcements would come to him quickly and help him escape, so that he could tear this despicable villain into pieces.

Looking at Zhong Xiang's back, Chen Xu's legs were trembling, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's over! Zhong Xiang is the most domineering person. Seeing me and Zhang Chen together, he will definitely regard me as an accomplice. After he is rescued, he will never spare me."

Chen Xu quickly came to Zhang Chen, grabbed Zhang Chen's clothes and came to the side, trembling his voice and said: "Young Master, how did you capture the Southern Kirin? You have caused a catastrophe, or quickly release him, let's find a way to turn hostility into friendship."

"I know your ability, but it's useless if your ability is high? You can suppress Zhong Xiang, but the Zhong family is a bloodline family, with mysterious power flowing in their bodies. There are also some old guys in the Zhong family. If they come to our door, we will all die."

Chen Xu was so frightened that his hands were shaking:

"At that time, not only the two of us, but also our family members will be found by the Chen family, and then their bones will be scattered without leaving any traces. We can't cause such a terrible disaster!"

"Do you think he'll spare us if we let him go? Do you think he'll just let it slide?" Zhang Chen said.

"At worst, you and I can go together to beg for forgiveness, kneeling down and letting him punish us. You must know that his elders hold official positions in the court, and his disciples and former subordinates are all over the world. Once his family finds out about our identities, Dasheng will have no place for us." Chen Xu's hand, gripping Zhang Chen's, was trembling, showing how scared he was.

The prestige of the nobility was etched into the very bones of this world, to the point where even the thought of resistance was unthinkable.

At this moment, Zhong Xiang, who was standing to the side, revealed a hint of triumph in his eyes after hearing Chen Xu's words: "Boy, you're sensible, but it's too late to be afraid now. Even if you admit defeat, I will make you pay the price. As long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, and sever your own arms, I can spare the lives of your family members."

"Young Master Zhong, we didn't mean to offend you. Why must you push things to such an extreme?" Chen Xu, upon hearing about severing his own arms, was shocked and quickly pleaded:

"Please, sir, be magnanimous and just let us both go."

"Heh heh, since you dared to offend a noble, how can you not pay the price?" Zhong Xiang smiled coldly, as if he had them cornered. At this moment, his eyes turned to Zhang Chen, his voice full of triumph:

"Boy, if you cut off one of your arms now, and then kneel before me, becoming my slave, I can spare your life."

Upon hearing Zhong Xiang's words, a strange light flickered in Zhang Chen's eyes, as if he were looking at a fool. Then, Zhang Chen slowly rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Zhong Xiang unhurriedly: "You grandson, you're already a prisoner and you still dare to be so arrogant? You probably haven't recognized the situation you're in."

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Zhang Chen approaching with ill intentions, Zhong Xiang was immediately startled and quickly braced himself, looking at Zhang Chen warily. After all, he was an elite member of his family, and his martial arts cultivation was naturally not bad.

"I want to teach you what rules are, and what it means to lower your head under the eaves."

Zhang Chen slapped Zhong Xiang's face. Seeing the slap coming, a hint of joy appeared in Zhong Xiang's eyes. He could tell that Zhang Chen was just an ordinary person who didn't understand martial arts. If he could lock Zhang Chen's arm, he could instantly crush his throat and kill him on the spot, then have a chance to escape.

Zhong Xiang stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Chen's arm with lightning speed. At this moment, looking into Zhang Chen's eyes, a cruel look appeared in his gaze:

"Boy, although you have some skills, your combat experience is still too green. Your biggest mistake was allowing a dark energy expert to touch your body."

After saying that, Zhong Xiang was about to exert force to shatter Zhang Chen's tendons and bones, but who knew that his movements would be frozen in place, like a statue, unable to move at all. Only his eyes looked at Zhang Chen in horror, cursing inwardly: "What kind of weird ability is this? Damn it! Where did this kid get all these strange tricks?"

Zhang Chen leisurely withdrew his arm from Zhong Xiang's hand, then slapped Zhong Xiang's face with all his might: "Little Zhong, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Would you like to repeat it?"

The left side of Zhong Xiang's cheek swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly swelling like a small bun.

Chen Xu was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. He quickly stepped forward to pull Zhang Chen back: "Young Master, do you not want to live? This is Zhong Xiang! The eldest son of the Zhong family, Zhong Xiang! You dare to slap him?"

"What if I slapped him?" Zhang Chen shook off Chen Xu's hand. "Look at him, he's just got a nose and a pair of ears, does he have three heads and six arms? If he can slap me, why can't I slap him."

"My ancestor! My great-grandfather! Can you compare to him?" Chen Xu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this moment, and didn't know what to do for a while. The whole person was at a loss.

"I can't compare to him?" Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Xu. This guy was too cowardly and looked down on people too much.

"You stand here properly." Zhang Chen told Chen Xu to stand still, facing Zhong Xiang directly. Then, Zhang Chen came behind Zhong Xiang, held his shoulders, and kicked his knees, and Zhong Xiang immediately fell to the ground.

"Look, he even knelt down to you. This guy is just an ordinary person, what's the big deal?" Zhang Chen's voice was full of nonchalance.

"My ancestor! My Heavenly Lord!" Chen Xu looked at Zhong Xiang kneeling on the ground. Although Zhong Xiang's body couldn't move, the blood in his eyes was like a ball of fire, his veins bulging all over his body. The angry expression frightened Chen Xu so much that his legs went weak and he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing to Zhong Xiang: "Young Master Chen, all of this has nothing to do with me, please don't hold a grudge against me."

Chen Xu kowtowed like a pestle, constantly kowtowing to Zhong Xiang and begging for mercy.

Zhang Chen laid Zhong Xiang's body flat, presenting a kneeling and prostrate posture, then sat on Zhong Xiang's back and knocked on the back of Zhong Xiang's head: "Little Zhong, I didn't expect you to have such power. Look at how scared you've made this coward."

"My ancestor, I beg you, can you please stop causing trouble? I'm kowtowing to you, please let Young Master Zhong go." Seeing Zhang Chen sitting on Zhong Xiang's back, Chen Xu was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body and he kept kowtowing.

"Look at your useless appearance, this guy just has some power and some skills, what else is there besides that? Isn't he still a human being?" Zhang Chen scolded Chen Xu: "Besides, do you think that after we've done so much, and he's even knelt down to you, you'll still be able to survive if he runs away?"

Chen Xu's face fell upon hearing this. His eyes turned to Zhong Xiang's eyes, and he saw that Zhong Xiang's eye sockets were crimson red, and drops of tears flowed from his eyes like falling beans, constantly flowing and falling on the mud, forming mud balls.

"Yo, you're actually crying? A grown man is actually crying?" Zhang Chen was most sensitive to water vapor, and he immediately noticed it as soon as Zhong Xiang's tears escaped.

What he never expected was that Zhong Xiang, a grown man, would actually cry.

Zhang Chen got off Zhong Xiang's back, then released Zhong Xiang's body-immobilizing charm. The next moment, a burst of wailing came: "You brat! You lowly commoner, you're simply too bullying! You might as well just kill me with one knife."

He was a peerless genius, a role model and example for the younger generation in the world. He had always had smooth sailing, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

He was about to die of grievance!
