#166 - Chapter 166 Take Action

Cheng Feng's mood was slightly low and unhappy. He frowned and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Young Master Peng, are you planning to go back on your word?"

Cheng Feng had originally prepared to smooth things over, but now the other party didn't seem willing to let it go.

Peng Zhang laughed loudly, "Why don't you go out and ask around? When has Peng Zhang ever suffered a loss? Boy, I see your face is unfamiliar. You better not provoke those you shouldn't provoke, it'll be safer for you. As long as you give me one hundred taels of silver, I guarantee I'll never bother you again. What do you think?"

Cheng Feng was almost amused by Peng Zhang's shameless attitude. He suppressed his laughter and replied, "Are you really sure your guard can defeat my guard?"

Peng Zhang's face instantly turned ugly. He felt his dignity had been challenged, so he retorted forcefully, "What, you want to try again? This young master won't give you a chance to take advantage again! My guard only needs to hold him back for a moment, and you'll fall into my hands. Do you think you still have a chance to escape?"

Cheng Feng didn't want to waste any more words with him. He silently circulated the power of qi and blood within his body, and then, with astonishing speed, he shot towards the guard behind Peng Zhang like an arrow released from a bow. He stopped in front of him, stared at him with sharp eyes, and asked, "I heard you're quite something?"

The guard clearly hadn't expected Cheng Feng to suddenly get so close, and he was startled! Before he could react, Cheng Feng's palm was already covered in a layer of scarlet blood energy. Then, like lightning, it struck towards the guard's chest!

The guard only felt an overwhelming force crashing into his chest, instantly making him feel short of breath and his chest swell painfully. He couldn't even say a word.

The next moment, his body was like a light willow catkin, helplessly sent flying by Cheng Feng's slap to the corner of the wall.

With a "Wah!" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out of the guard's mouth, splattering on the ground to form a shocking blood flower.

At this moment, witnessing his most powerful guard being beaten so miserably, the arrogant flames in Peng Zhang's heart vanished without a trace, replaced by endless fear and trembling.

That was a guard with the perfection of the Leather Refining Realm specially equipped for him by his father! Only a thread away from a Blood Refining martial artist, as long as he successfully breaks through, he can become an elder-level figure, but he was beaten into a dead dog so quickly?

Peng Zhang's legs weakened, and he couldn't even stand steadily. He stuttered and spoke incoherently, "You... you're finished! He... he's... my dad's disciple! You've provoked our Green... Green Bamboo Gang... you're dead!"

Hearing Peng Zhang's boastful words, Cheng Feng was even more disdainful, "The Green Bamboo Gang leader is a hero for an era, how could he have a son like you?"

Although the Hongmen's own strength is relatively weak at the moment and not enough to directly confront the Green Bamboo Gang, if anyone dares to bully and act pretentiously in front of Cheng Feng, then his Bone Tempering Realm strength would have been cultivated in vain. It is still very necessary to appropriately display one's strength and give the other party a small shock.

These two guards at least have the strength of the Leather Refining Realm, but in Cheng Feng's eyes, they are nothing more than that. Cheng Feng didn't kill them, which can be considered giving the Green Bamboo Gang enough face.

Afterwards, he picked up the saber of the unconscious guard, gripped the hilt tightly, then pinched the back of the blade and pinched hard, deeply imprinting his fingerprints on it: "One hundred taels, and I'll let you off unscathed."

Peng Zhang felt that these words were somewhat familiar. At this moment, how could he not know that he had kicked a steel plate? The young man in front of him was not only a master, but also a difficult person to deal with.

Cheng Feng thought: "Now that I have chosen to expose my strength, I naturally can't do it for nothing. Which big shot doesn't need an appearance fee? Asking for too much would be suspected of extortion, one hundred taels is just right."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Peng Zhang immediately admitted defeat, dared not say another word of nonsense, and directly took out two fifty-tael silver pieces, respectfully handed them to Cheng Feng, and said with a smile, "This hero, this is one hundred taels of silver, please accept it. I was blind and offended you, please forgive me for my ignorance."

Cheng Feng didn't even glance at it, just waved his hand to signal Baibai to come over and collect the silver. Baibai understood and hurried forward, took the silver, and put it in his arms.

Cheng Feng looked at Peng Zhang and said coldly, "This time, I'll let it go. If there is a next time, it won't be so easy to talk about." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Peng Zhang and the two injured guards trembling in place.

Just then, the people from the brokerage slowly appeared. Cheng Feng stared at the person coming, and couldn't help but be shocked, this was actually a Blood Refining Realm martial artist?

The man was wearing a simple gray suit, with a scruffy beard and plain appearance, but Cheng Feng, with his Bone Tempering Realm eyesight, could see at a glance that the man's blood energy was restrained and his eyes flickered with amazing light. He was obviously a master of martial arts.

You know, in Qingxi County, anyone who can reach the Blood Refining Realm is in a high position, usually dressed exquisitely, and always has a group of people calling before and after him. But the person in front of him was plainly dressed and acted low-key. If Cheng Feng hadn't had discerning eyes, it would have been difficult to see that he was actually the town shop person of the brokerage.

However, what made Cheng Feng a little afraid was that he couldn't be sure whether there were other people hidden behind the gray-clothed man.

At this moment, only to see the gray-clothed man cupping his fists and saying: "Young Master Peng, Sect Master Cheng, my name is Mingfeng. It seems that the two of you have resolved the dispute between you. I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in our store in the future, so as not to destroy the rules here."

Cheng Feng responded with a cold face: "All the compensation for losses should be sought from him." After saying that, he pointed to Peng Zhang, who was standing aside in silence.

Afterwards, Cheng Feng took the two women he had chosen, as well as the five people he had carefully selected, and also selected two women with excellent cooking skills, and swaggered out of the backyard.

Sitting in the front hall, Cheng Feng calculated that the two women were fifty-five taels, the five young boys and girls with good roots were five taels, and the two cooks were four taels.

A total of sixty-four taels, Peng Zhang gave one hundred taels, with a remaining thirty-six taels.

Cheng Feng simply spent all the remaining thirty-six taels and bought thirty-six more men and women with martial arts roots.

In order to balance the genders, including the five seedlings, there were twenty male and twenty-one female martial arts seedlings. In this way, the guards and maids of the Cheng residence were finally strengthened.
