"The Cheng Family is that impressive?"
Jiang Xinghai let out a cold laugh. "As far as I'm concerned, I can co and go from the Cheng Family residence as I please. Who's going to stop ?"
"Such arrogance!"
Cheng Zhipeng now had a asure of Jiang Xinghai's pride. Instead of anger, he chuckled. "In that case, allow to test your strength myself. I'd like to see just how you plan to co and go as you please from my Cheng Family…"
BAM!
But before Cheng Zhipeng could even finish his sentence, an iron fist smashed into his cheek.
CRUNCH!
Instantly, Cheng Zhipeng's left cheek caved in.
But strangely, his entire body remained rooted to the spot, not sent flying by Jiang Xinghai's punch.
"Such terrifying speed!"
Cheng Zhipeng stared at Jiang Xinghai, dumbfounded. "To wield such terrifying power with perfect control... You!"
Normally, when his cheek was struck, the force and montum of the punch should have sent his body flying!
But!
None of that happened!
It was enough to leave Cheng Zhipeng utterly speechless.
"Submit, or die."
Jiang Xinghai didn't want to waste his breath. He would only ask once.
The corners of Cheng Zhipeng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
'Submit, or die?'
'This Jiang Xinghai is so tyrannical!'
'And yet, he didn't dare question a thing.'
'The power of Jiang Xinghai's punch had made him acutely aware of his own shortcomings.'
'Even he couldn't wield his power with such perfect control.'
"Dad! Kill this arrogant bastard!"
"Patriarch, tear him to shreds!"
"Big Brother, be careful!"
Instantly, several mbers of the Cheng Family in the hall sward forward.
"All of you, shut up!"
However, a thousand thoughts raced through Cheng Zhipeng's mind in that instant. He weighed the pros and cons and finally made a decision that left his family mbers aghast.
"Mr. Jiang, I, Cheng Zhipeng, am willing to submit."
The mont he spoke, the expressions of his family mbers changed completely.
"Mr. Jiang, I am willing to submit. Please, be rciful and spare my Cheng Family," Cheng Zhipeng said again, dropping to one knee.
He hadn't made this stunning move on a whim, of course.
Nor was it re flattery.
It was a painful compromise for the sake of survival!
It was all because of the speed and power of Jiang Xinghai's punch.
He clearly recognized that the other man had to be a Grandmaster as well!
'Heavens!'
'A Grandmaster in his twenties... practically unheard of!'
'He could have ended my life with that one punch, but he held back.'
'If I still can't see what's at stake and foolishly seek revenge, the Cheng Family will be annihilated!'
"Then I shall take you as my slave."
With a flick of his finger, Jiang Xinghai sent a special seal shooting into the center of Cheng Zhipeng's forehead.
Instantly, Cheng Zhipeng froze in place like a wooden puppet.
He felt a sharp blade pierce the center of his forehead. If he were to have even a single thought of defiance against Jiang Xinghai, that blade would churn his mind to pulp.
This was the technique of Soul Control!
It was one of the Heaven-Defying Techniques Jiang Xinghai had learned during his years on Kunlun Mountain.
"Master."
The light returned to Cheng Zhipeng's eyes, and he assud a posture of humble subservience.
This scene, which seed to stretch on, had in fact transpired in the blink of an eye.
"Follow ."
Jiang Xinghai gave the mbers of the Cheng Family an indifferent glance, then turned and walked away.
Without a word, Cheng Zhipeng scrambled to his feet and followed.
The mbers of the Cheng Family were all completely baffled.
'What was going on?'
'What in the world just happened?'
'The dignified Patriarch of the Cheng Family, Cheng Zhipeng, a newly promoted Grandmaster, had actually bowed and submitted to Jiang Xinghai?'
'And he was even calling him "Master"?'
The mbers of the Cheng Family were utterly speechless.
Jiang Xinghai and Cheng Zhipeng had reached the artificial lake in the center of the courtyard.
"Master, what are your orders? This old slave will work like a dog or horse for you," Cheng Zhipeng said, bowing beside Jiang Xinghai.
"From now on, the Cheng Family is to give its full support to the Shen Family."
Jiang Xinghai cut to the chase. "Shen Zhengye's destroyed Dantian has been restored. The rise of the Shen Family is now inevitable."
"Understood." Cheng Zhipeng didn't dare ask any more questions.
"If you run into any trouble, contact . Depending on your performance, I may see fit to reward you with a complete Ancient Martial Arts manual." Having said his piece, Jiang Xinghai strode toward the main gate.
"'A complete Ancient Martial Arts manual?'" Cheng Zhipeng remained rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Jiang Xinghai's departing figure, speechless for a long ti.
After all, his Cheng Family had relied on just a fragnt of an Ancient Martial Secret Manual to achieve its current, unstoppable rise to power.
'If they were to obtain a complete manual!'
A grin spread across his face as he muttered to himself, "eting Master is truly a stroke of imnse good fortune for the Cheng Family. This is a rare, heaven-sent opportunity. I must cherish it."
"Father, what in the world just happened?"
Just then, the mbers of the Cheng Family sward over, with Cheng Jiahao being the first to ask nervously.
SMACK!
However, Cheng Zhipeng raised his hand and slapped Cheng Jiahao across the face. "You damn bastard! Of all the people you could have provoked, you just had to provoke Mr. Jiang?!"
"Uh…" Cheng Jiahao was instantly stunned.
But then, a sudden smile broke out across Cheng Zhipeng's face. "Although, it's a good thing you provoked him. Otherwise, how would I have gotten the chance to et him and receive such a monuntal blessing? Hahaha, wonderful!"
