Chapter 229: The Commoners' Fortune, The Martial Artists' Grief!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
At this point, nobody dared to blink as the distance between the savage beast-like human and the bazooka rocket got shorter and shorter. Everyone's hearts stilled together.
"You have to win!"
Although most of the experts present did not take kindly to Bei Feng in their hearts since they were forced to listen to his orders, at this moment, none of them hoped to see him lose!
As a popular saying among the pugilistic world went, "Modern weapons are the fortune of the common people, but also the grief of martial artists!"
The appearance of modern weapons meant that even an ordinary person whom martial artists usually did not take seriously could easily kill even an Evolved Jing expert!
This Ursa Smash Bei Feng was using now was no longer a simple martial technique that he had created based on the wild bear's movements back then. Now, it had already incorporated the essence of the Bear Form Style from the Form and Will Fist!
In other words, this was his strongest offensive technique apart from the flying dagger!
Before the amazed gazes of the crowd, the domineering giant bear and the bazooka rocket finally collided together!
"Kaboom!"
A loud explosion like the sudden clap of thunder by one's ears rang out, sending large amounts of soil and dirt flying in all directions!
A powerful shock wave spread out from the area, sweeping through everything. Those Dark Jing experts who were closer were nearly sent flying. The Evolved Jing masters at the same distance remained standing firmly, as though their feet were rooted to the ground. Their bodies swayed slightly, but that was it. At this moment, everyone's eyes were centered on the large clearing before them.
The area was shrouded with a thick layer of smoke, masking the scene within it.
"Haha! My Lin Clan's grievance is redressed!"
The man on the balcony was laughing so hard his tears were coming out of his eyes. So what if you're a Xiantian Lord?! Weren't you still killed in one strike?!
But even as he lost himself in his glee, the dust cloud began to swirl at high speed before dissipating theatrically.
At the same time, the Cerberus turned into a shadow as it leaped towards the balcony.
A few seconds later, a human-shaped figure appeared from the middle of the square. The person appeared to be unhurt, although his clothes looked rather ruffled.
"Esteemed Lord is too powerful!"
When Bei Feng walked out from the explosion without a single scratch, all the numerous experts immediately bowed with respect.
"En."
Bei Feng nodded lightly as he examined his internal injuries.
Although he looked fine on the outside, there were some internal injuries caused by the explosion. Fortunately, it was nothing serious, and would be fine with some minor care.
'Normal rocket launchers and the like do not hold much threat against me anymore. Even if it's a bullet from an anti-material sniper rifle, I can still block it with the flying dagger!'
Bei Feng mused to himself. Unless it was an explosive force with a area of effect greater than he could escape from, he could still dodge it and break away with supersonic speed using his fleshly body!
The Cerberus had also returned at this time, and quickly followed behind Bei Feng silently.
Bei Feng knew that the person who fired the bazooka had already been taken care of by the Cerberus. Bringing Bai Song and the rest along, he left without a word.
The Lin Clan would definitely pay in blood for this act. Afterall, the other experts had all been thoroughly scared by the situation earlier. With a bazooka heading right for them, none of them could say that they had the confidence to retain their lives.
If Bei Feng had not managed to block it forcefully, the number of casualties among them would certainly not be low. As such, there was naturally no way those lofty experts would let the matter rest like that!
Bei Feng also understood this point, which was why he did not bother to dirty his hands. He could already foresee the ending of the Lin Clan.
Bei Feng did not return to the security company. Instead, Bai Song had arranged a few rooms at a five star hotel for them to spend the night. The hotel was owned by the Bai Family, and was located in the heart of the city. It was an elegant yet peaceful hotel which sought to retain the feeling of peacefulness amidst the bustling city.
Since it was already late, Bai Song decided that it was better to formally head over to Shennongjia the next day instead. Bei Feng was not in a rush, and settled down comfortably into the hotel.
As for dinner, he retrieved a slab of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat from his spatial ring and passed it to Bai Song for the hotel chef to handle. Bei Feng and the Mystics simply had to wait in a comfortable dining room.
"Greetings, Esteemed Lord!"
Bai Song returned quickly, with a young man following behind him. The young man looked rather ordinary, but his body radiated powerful blood and Qi energy.
"Esteemed Lord, this is my grandson. He just returned from the army."
Bai Song gestured at the young man beside him.
"En, not bad, he's already at half step Evolved Jing. Since you're here, sit down and join us for a meal."
Bei Feng raised his head and measured the young man before nodding lightly.
"The Esteemed Lord is too generous with your praises."
Although he said that, a toothy smile still surfaced from Bai Song's wrinkled face. Who would not enjoy listening to praises about their descendants? Furthermore, the person giving out the praise was an Esteemed Xiantian Lord!
Nobody spoke from then on, causing the atmosphere in the dining room to turn somewhat awkward. Bei Feng was a man of few words, and never liked to talk. As for Bai Song, seeing that Bei Feng had closed his eyes and was resting, he did not dare to bother him as well.
Among them, the most eye-catching fellow was the three-headed Cerberus sitting atop a chair, looking about curiously.
'This person seems to be rather young, but he's actually a Xiantian Lord!'
Bai Yang peeked at Bei Feng curiously. There didn't seem to be many years' difference between their ages, but the other party was already an overlord-level character.
Although he was a descendant of a martial clan, Bai Yang, due to a disagreement with Bai Song's ideas, had joined the government instead. But still, he knew what kind of existence a Xiantian Lord was!
Very quickly, an entire stream of waiters started flowing in, bringing dish after dish with them. Since the biggest boss had given the orders personally, the speed at which the food was served was naturally different. Numerous dishes perfect in looks, aroma, and taste were placed on the table, causing the entire dining room to be filled with the fragrance of food.
"Gulp!"
Those who smelt the fragrance could not help but swallow their saliva continuously as an intense sense of hunger emanated from their very cells.
Despite that, they had to restrain themselves forcefully. Since Bei Feng had not moved his chopsticks yet, the rest did not dare to pick theirs up.
When all the dishes were served, Bei Feng finally opened his eyes and grabbed his chopsticks. Then, as if he was acting in a slow motion scene, he picked up a piece of meat, brought it to his nose, and took a light sniff before putting it into his mouth. A light glimmered in his eyes as he nodded in praise. "Not bad! Although this still cannot be compared with the creation of that old man at the Mountain Delicacies Pavilion, it's also very good!"
Seeing Bei Feng digging in, everyone else also picked up their chopsticks, no longer hesitating.
At the same time, the Cerberus was looking dumbly at its paws. How the hell was it supposed to wield a pair of chopsticks with its claws?
If it dug its paws into the plate, Indigestion did not doubt that it would leave the hotel on a stretcher...
Insatiable and Black Hole were also drooling hungrily. Even the proud Indigestion could barely keep the saliva from rolling off its mouth.
'What is this meat?!'
The Bai grandfather and grandson each bit down on a piece of meat and their eyes immediately snapped open with amazement. This was really too bloody delicious!
With just a light bite, the scalding juice within the meat burst into Bai Song's mouth, drenching his tongue. The meat itself was puffy and incomparably tender. With just a bit of chewing, the entire piece of meat melted and slid down his throat easily, directly flowing into his stomach.
An icy sensation suddenly rose from his guts, causing Bai Song to shiver involuntarily. This icy sensation was not a simple chill. Instead, it felt just like how one would shiver from pleasure when they swallowed a mouthful of ice cream on a hot summer day!
Following that, a surge of energy flowed through all his limbs and organs, enveloping him in a cozy sensation.
'This meat contains such a huge amount of blood and Qi energy!'
Bai Yang also felt a wave of energy surging through his body. Without any hesitation, he put down his chopsticks and circulated his blood and Qi to absorb the energy.
As for Bai Song, he reached out to grab another piece of meat. Although the meat contained a great deal of energy, as a powerful Evolved Jing master, a single piece of meat was not enough to cause him to lay down his chopstick.
But just as Bai Song and Mystic Three picked up a piece of meat, they felt their bodies stiffen slightly. Turning around, they saw that the three heads of the Cerberus were all staring icily at them...
