Chapter 82 The Madman

"Commander Du, I understand that you are cowardly and afraid of trouble and do not want to enter the city, but I am not like that. I am going into the city to rescue people. Please order the removal of armor, Commander Du."

Zheng Gui's voice was earnest, but his words made Du Zhong laugh.

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

This Zheng Gui is full of chivalrous talk, regarding it as everything, and speaks with righteous indignation.

So stupid it's laughable.

The key point is that they are unaware of their own stupidity, and are full of self-satisfaction, thinking they are great and about to sacrifice themselves for righteousness.

"If Chief Du helps me this time, and I survive, I will owe Chief Du a huge favor."

Du Zhong looked at Zheng Gui for a long time, then said softly.

"Removing the armor is absolutely impossible, Brother Zheng, if you insist on doing so—"

"Then let's start the war."

Zheng Gui: ————

"I did this for righteousness, Brother Du, please give me face."

"How much is your pride worth?"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Everyone instinctively turned around and saw a young man standing on the trunk of a giant black tree.

call--

A gentle breeze blew along with the sound, surging out from behind him and dispersing, while wisps of invisible blood energy, carrying a sense of pressure, spread from his body.

Who are you?

A solemn expression appeared on Zheng Gui's face, followed by an unusual flush, as if—excitement.

"My name is Xu Guang."

Xu Guang remained calm as he looked around.

His body moved slowly, a gentle breeze stirred, and the surrounding trees rustled, but the tree where Xu Guang stood remained completely still.

An invisible sense of oppression instantly silenced the previously somewhat noisy forest.

Zheng Gui and his bandits swallowed hard and fell silent.

This way of making an entrance, this control over internal energy, allows one to control a complete tree in the wind.

This is enough to prove that the total amount of internal energy in the young man's body has reached an incredibly terrifying level.

Xu Guang's gaze gradually shifted downwards and landed on Zheng Gui.

"What were you saying just now?"

"Remove armor?"

Zheng Gui's face became increasingly flushed.

He did want to enter the city, but besides repaying the Li family's kindness, there was another, more important reason.

He wanted to break through, and he needed enough opponents to help him break through to the sixth realm of Gang Jin.

He had been stuck at the Dantian stage for nearly ten years, and he could feel the decline of his Qi and blood. He had a feeling that if he could not break through now, the future breakthroughs would become increasingly difficult as his Qi and blood declined.

Facing Xu Guang's radiant light, a sense of oppression arose, and his breathing became increasingly rapid as he felt the intense heat brought by the powerful blood and energy emanating from Xu Guang.

There was no fear on his face, not a single trace of it.

There is only fanaticism.

"That's it—fight me. It's you, it's only you. Only someone like you can excite me—"

""

"I'm so—excited! Hahahaha!"

In an instant, he roared, his blood and qi surging, unleashing his full power.

When the men he brought saw Zheng Gui's expression, they instinctively took a few steps back.

Zheng Gui's reputation among outlaws was well-deserved; it was not only due to his strength but also to his ruthlessness and disregard for his life.

In the martial arts world, Zheng Gui was known as "Crazy Zheng".

This is also why Du Zhong tried his best to remain restrained when he met Zheng Gui.

Nobody wants to offend a madman.

Xu Guang squinted at Zheng Gui, then gently gripped the hilt of the black sword.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a martial arts genius who wanted to use him as a stepping stone to break through in battle.

That's really interesting.

act recklessly.

Zheng Gui roared and slammed his toes into the ground. A terrifying force surged through his blood vessels, muscles, and bones like an explosion, and waves of internal energy, like gusts of air, were transmitted to his right fist.

"Take this! Overlord Fist!!!!"

His face was filled with fervor; this punch contained all his strength, all his energy, and all his fighting spirit.

Zheng Gui could already feel that his blood and qi were being elevated and his internal strength was undergoing a transformation.

Under the terrifying sense of oppression, he felt as if his entire body was undergoing some kind of qualitative change.

As he threw that punch, countless insights arose in his mind.

With that one punch, he seemed to have found it—the powerful force he had been dreaming of for many years.

Hahahahaha!

He was inwardly laughing with excitement.

He was finally, finally about to—

laugh!

Suddenly, Zheng Gui felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his somewhat frantic attention was quickly pulled back and focused on himself.

"This—this is—"

He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at what was in front of him.

His fist was only halfway out, still quite a distance from his opponent.

But a black sword, a very long black sword, grew out of his chest.

Following the blade of the black sword, he saw the hilt—

It was held in the young man's hand.

Xu Guang remained expressionless, his hand twitching slightly. With just a gentle turn, the black sword could completely sever Zheng Gui's life force.

"Spare his life!!"

A loud, urgent voice rang out.

It was Li Qian.

"Brother Xu, spare his life!"

Xu Guang squinted at Li Qian.

Li Qian spoke quickly, "This is a misunderstanding. Zheng Gui is a martial arts fanatic and did not intentionally oppose Brother Xu. Please spare his life, Brother Xu. The Li family will surely reward you handsomely."

Xu Guang looked at Li Qian, and hesitated for a moment.

boom!

The immense force exploded in Zheng Gui's chest, sending him flying far into the air.

His chest looked as if it had been scorched by fire, leaving a black scar, but no blood flowed out.

Xu Guang showed mercy and even treated Zheng Gui's wounds.

Zheng Gui lay on his back on the ground, his face filled with disbelief. He felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if he had been charged head-on by a raging elephant. The scorching heat in his blood and qi was undergoing a rapid transformation, dissipating and cooling in all directions as if a dam had been breached.

The opportunity for a breakthrough was interrupted.

Xu Guang looked quietly at Li Qian.

"Considering the life-saving grace I received in the city before, I hope the Li family can really offer something that satisfies me."

Li Qian stood still, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, "Brother Xu, rest assured, the Li family are not heartless or ungrateful people."

Xu Guang nodded and said no more.

The people behind Zheng Gui quickly stepped forward to check on him. After finding that he was alright, they went to Li Qian's side and told him what had happened.

After learning the situation, Li Qian was speechless. He sighed, clasped his hands in a salute to Xu Guang, Du Zhong, and the others once again, and then left with his men.

Du Zhong looked at Xu Guang with disbelief in his eyes.

Although he knew that Xu Guang's strength had reached an incredible level when he was being pursued by the Wang family.

But neither Wu Daoren nor the Wang family's pursuers were actually acquaintances.

But Zheng Gui was different. He was a well-known martial arts master and also had the nickname "Crazy Zheng." Such a person was easily suppressed by Xu Guang.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

"Xiao Guang, just how strong are you now?"

Du Zhong was not the first person to ask this question.
