#227 - Chapter 227 Show

In the Hongmen martial arts arena, Wei Zhuang, dressed in black, stood facing Sun Gui.

Cheng Feng covered his face and said, "Sun Gui, is it really necessary for you, a Bone Refinement martial artist, to fight Wei Zhuang, who's at the peak of Bone Tempering?"

In the center of the Hongmen martial arts arena, the atmosphere was so tense that you could almost hear heartbeats. Cheng Feng's words, though light, landed like a heavy hammer on everyone's heart.

Wang Hu widened his eyes in disbelief, reconfirming his judgment—yes, Sun Gui, the martial artist who should still be in the Skin Refining stage, was actually standing in confrontation with Wei Zhuang, who was at the peak of Bone Tempering.

Wei Zhuang's brow furrowed slightly, as if he had noticed Cheng Feng's questioning, but he quickly regained his composure. His deep gaze pierced through Sun Gui's eyes, as if he could directly see into his heart. It was a kind of scrutiny that transcended the difference in realm, an acknowledgment of Sun Gui's courage and determination.

"Sect Leader, realm is important, but it is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat." Wei Zhuang's voice was low and magnetic as he slowly said, "For Hall Master Sun to challenge me in the Skin Refining realm, this courage and confidence are worthy of my serious treatment. Moreover, the path of cultivation is a process of constantly challenging oneself and crossing one's limits."

Upon hearing this, a trace of gratitude flashed across Sun Gui's face. He knew that his decision might seem reckless to outsiders, but Wei Zhuang's understanding and respect made him feel warm. He straightened his back, his gaze becoming more determined: "Brother Wei, I know that my strength is still shallow, but I have a reason why I must fight. Please, Senior Brother, enlighten me!"

As Sun Gui's words fell, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena became tense again. The disciples watching the battle around them discussed among themselves, some cheering for Sun Gui's courage, while others worried that he was being too impulsive.

In Wei Zhuang's eyes, none of this mattered anymore. He slowly raised his right hand, clenching his palm into a fist, and a faint wave emanated from his body, a symbol of the power unique to a Bone Tempering peak martial artist.

"Good! Hall Master Sun, since you are determined, I will accompany you on this journey." Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, and then his figure moved, like a ghost, towards Sun Gui. His movements were both fast and accurate, each move containing deep blood energy and exquisite martial arts skills, obviously giving Sun Gui enough respect and attention.

Seeing this, Sun Gui was not afraid either. He took a deep breath, his blood surging within his body, and a faint light flickered beneath his skin, which was caused by his full operation of the Mountain Shattering Fist technique. He clenched his fists and met Wei Zhuang's offensive.

The wind of the fists whistled, and the shadows of the palms fluttered. In the eyes of everyone, the figures of the two turned into a blur, the speed was so fast that people couldn't keep up.

In just one move, the figures of the two passed by each other. Sun Gui stood still, and Wei Zhuang turned around and said, "Hall Master Sun, thank you."

Sun Gui looked at the palm strike in his chest, completely unharmed. Looking at Wei Zhuang's eyes that could see through him, how could he not know that Wei Zhuang had already seen through his plan to be a stepping stone?

He solemnly clasped his fist and said, "Where, where, thank you, Brother Wei, for your mercy. Old Sun is convinced."

Cheng Feng also understood what was going on when he saw Sun Gui's sudden move.

Sun Gui is worthy of being an old man! He took the initiative to give the name to Wei Zhuang in order to get the Hongmen affairs done!

Why didn't Cheng Feng see that Sun Gui was such a clever person before?

Cheng Feng was still preparing to reason with him, and if he couldn't, he would force him to do it!

As a result, his subordinates were so transparent in their work, and Cheng Feng was also very comfortable.

Zhou Hai and Li Yang wisely chose not to say anything after knowing Wei Zhuang's strength.

Returning to the hall again, Cheng Feng explained it to Wu Feng before letting Wang Hu continue the conversation.

Wang Hu bluntly said: "The current development situation of Hongmen is that the potential is endless, and there are countless constraints.

You may not have noticed that the previous frictions between the Hongmen area and the surrounding two gangs were just small fights that could not be put on the table.

It was only after the Sect Leader went to Black Wind Fortress that the invisible probing disappeared.

But no problem is the biggest problem. A dog that bites doesn't bark.

We have to be on guard. If the other three families join forces, we will definitely suffer, without a doubt.

The Sect Leader also considered the relationship with the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School.

Recently, the private salt side has also begun to probe.

Temporarily give up the position of Sect Leader and let the powerful Brother Wei Zhuang take the stage.

By the way, package yourself up, the Hongmen really has someone behind it.

All of this requires a strong and fresh executor.

Can you, Sun Gui, or Zhou Hai, do it?

Wu Feng can do it, but his face is too familiar, so it won't work either.

Only Brother Wei Zhuang can do it here. This is also the reason why the Sect Leader invited Brother Wei Zhuang to be the Sect Leader."

Zhou Hai dawdled and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, and Sun Gui was beaten up for nothing."

Sun Gui jumped out anxiously: "I'm cooperating with the Sect Leader's plan, what do you know?"

Li Yang was confused: "So I'm too simple? ? ?"

Seeing that the three hall masters were okay, Cheng Feng dragged out a part of his plan.

Cheng Feng waved his hand and said: "Okay, noisy, what's the point? Now that you know where the crisis of our Hongmen is, you should prepare corresponding countermeasures.

In the next period of time, let the brothers practice hard, and it will start soon.

Hongmen's small goal is to turn Qingxi County into our territory first."

With Wei Zhuang, who is at the peak of Bone Tempering and even capable of fighting martial artists in the early stage of Viscera Refining,

Hongmen no longer needs to hide.

If the Green Bamboo Gang relied entirely on external objects such as mechanical dogs to conquer the world,

Then this time, it was conquered by Wei Zhuang's strength.

The only change in the middle is that Hongmen has become much stronger. Wang Hu has now become a Skin Refining late-stage martial artist under the support of Hongmen.

Sun Gui, Zhou Hai, and Li Yang are also Skin Refining early-stage martial artists.

Li Yang has good aptitude and works hard in cultivation, and even has a feeling of surpassing the strength of the other two.

Not to mention that all the remaining hundred disciples of Black Wind Fortress were incorporated into the Renmen.

Now the disciples of Renmen have officially broken six hundred, and there are more than two thousand outer hall disciples.

Plus the thirty-five people in the Henglian Hall,

The strength has increased greatly.

But it is a great increase, which makes the other three gangs jealous, and even prepares to join hands to get rid of Hongmen.

Hei Er got the news that a few days ago, the three gang leaders met at the Hongyun Building of the Li family.

What can the three gang bosses do when they gather together?

Do you really think they are drinking and chatting, taking time out of their busy schedule?

The bosses are busy making money! How can they be so idle?

Hei Er bribed the waiter who served the dishes, and the main high-frequency vocabulary he heard was Hongmen.

If this can say good things about Hongmen, Cheng Feng himself would twist his head off!

This month, Sui Ran's private salt has also had some problems, but fortunately, Hongmen has a large family and a large business, and it is no longer the same as before, with only one leg to walk on.

It doesn't matter whether there is silver for private salt or not.

The current Hongmen is like a carriage that has already started running. If you want to stop, someone has to pull the reins hard.

Cheng Feng can pull it, but for what reason?

With the appearance of Wei Zhuang, Cheng Feng directly waved his whip and walked.

With this strength, he is still low-key, wouldn't that be a turtle with a shrunken head?
