Zhang Tianxing heard Kong Er Lengzi's words and immediately laughed, "What's wrong, you're not scared, are you? Did you grow up drinking Yellow River water?"
He directly brandished his cleaver, making a swishing motion, and with a "clang," he chopped the cleaver onto the chopping block.
The trembling cleaver conveyed a chilling aura. Kong Er Lengzi was now in a difficult situation. This kid was a prospective college student, and he was rich.
Why would porcelain associate with broken tiles? Don't be ridiculous; everyone is precious.
To argue with him would be beneath him. Kong Er Lengzi always relied on this tactic and had repeatedly succeeded.
It had also fostered his arrogant demeanor. He never expected to be thwarted by Zhang Tianxing.
Zhang Tianxing couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, Kong Er Lengzi, what's the use of boasting? If you have the guts, take a couple of steps forward."
Kong Er Lengzi was furious. Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly felt his pants loosen and hurriedly grabbed them.
"You..."
Zhang Tianxing smiled, "If you take one step forward, I'll turn you into a braised egg. Do you believe it?"
Kong Er Lengzi was enraged upon hearing this. He wanted to step forward but feared he would indeed become a braised egg.
He could only issue a threat, "Good for you, Zhang Tianxing, I, Kong Er Lengzi, remember you."
"Think carefully and don't act rashly. One of your legs isn't worth much," Zhang Tianxing's casual remark made Kong Er Lengzi's face change drastically. He didn't dare to utter more threats and slunk away dejectedly.
As the saying goes, they came fiercely but left in a hurry.
The assembled guests all cheered for Zhang Tianxing.
This Kong Er Lengzi truly did no good deeds, his reputation was already in the mud.
Gao Tianming walked over, "Tianxing, I'm afraid this Kong Er Lengzi will return. Should I have my dad go scare him?"
Zhang Tianxing shook his head, "There's no need. Once tonight's events get out, if Kong Er Lengzi hasn't done anything bad before, then he'll be in trouble directly!"
Gao Tianming was a bit confused, "Why?"
"Kong Er Lengzi's reputation is built on the foundation of never suffering a loss. Once he's defeated, his past victims won't let him off the hook. We don't need to worry about his affairs."
Just as Zhang Tianxing predicted, Kong Er Lengzi returned and thought about it more and more, becoming increasingly fearful. The current Zhang Tianxing was rich and had martial prowess; he was completely helpless against him.
However, Zhang Tianxing could easily find someone to deal with him. Although Kong Er Lengzi was famous, with a generous reward, there would surely be brave men. He was no match for capital.
What should he do? Kong Er Lengzi was somewhat troubled; the times were not auspicious.
Kong Er Lengzi wanted to beat up Zhang Tianxing at this moment, but no, beating people cost money. Kong Er Lengzi had made his fortune by getting beaten.
However, he had never suffered such great humiliation. Unfortunately, his pants weren't strong enough, and he had to hold them up with his hands, thus completely losing his combat effectiveness.
Kong Er Lengzi was not convinced by this defeat.
...
The night was so dark that not a finger could be seen. Zhang Tianxing, dragging his tired body, prepared to go home. As he passed an intersection,
Zhang Tianxing sensed someone's presence. Zhang Tianxing straightened up, holding his fist with one hand.
"Kong Er Lengzi, come out. If you're a man, don't hide."
Kong Er Lengzi emerged from the shadows of the trees, grinning menacingly, "Kid, no one has ever made Second Master suffer such humiliation. How do you want me to thank you? I will fulfill your request."
Zhang Tianxing frowned. This Er Lengzi was resorting to ambushing him.
"Alright, I know you're good with a cleaver. I don't believe you'd still be carrying one at this hour."
With a "swish" of a whip sound, Kong Er Lengzi smiled, "Second Master has prepared a steel whip for you. How powerful can your cleaver be?"
Zhang Tianxing looked around and immediately relaxed. There were only Kong Er Lengzi and his two subordinates, just three people.
This was manageable. If there were more people, it would be thirty-six strategies to run. But with only three people, Zhang Tianxing decided to fight.
If he ran, this troublemaker might go after his parents. That would not be good.
Therefore, this time, he had to defeat Kong Er Lengzi, to the point where he would hide upon seeing him.
There was nothing to say to a stubborn rogue. Zhang Tianxing started running quickly.
Kong Er Lengzi was about to taunt him, "Little brat, don't run," when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Zhang Tianxing was running directly towards him.
Before he could swing the steel whip in his hand, Zhang Tianxing landed a punch on his face.
Kong Er Lengzi immediately felt dizzy. His vision went black, and he was about to collapse to his knees.
At this moment, he heard his subordinate's startled shout, "You dirty trickster, no martial ethics!"
Zhang Tianxing smiled, "Do you guys deserve martial ethics?"
As he spoke, Zhang Tianxing lunged at the other two thugs.
The thugs were about to fight back when Zhang Tianxing kicked them in the stomach, making them collapse to the ground, unable to get up.
Another subordinate saw this situation and thought, "He's so fierce." He felt he couldn't win, but if he ran, his reputation would be ruined.
Zhang Tianxing saw this subordinate wasn't running either and flew up with a kick, knocking him down.
"Kong Er Lengzi, I advise you to be sensible. If you want to set your sights on my house, you need to see if you have the ability."
Kong Er Lengzi quickly nodded. Although he called himself Er Lengzi, he was afraid of pain and getting beaten.
If he had known Zhang Tianxing had such skills, he would never have brought only three people to block him.
Wasn't this like a mouse bothering a cat for no reason? He was courting death. This was not fun at all.
Seeing Zhang Tianxing's demeanor, he remembered Zhang Tianxing's terrifying cleaver.
Kong Er Lengzi believed that Zhang Tianxing would turn him into a braised egg.
"Little Brother Zhang, I was wrong. Regarding the house, both parties must agree. If only one party agrees, it's not a sale." Kong Er Lengzi was quite shrewd. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Zhang Tianxing smiled, "I hope you remember your words. However, I hope you won't bother me again. I'm actually very fragile. A brick can take me down. The saying 'kung fu aside, one brick takes you down' is correct, isn't it, Second Master?"
Upon hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Kong Er Lengzi repeatedly shook his head. He was genuinely scared. He wasn't afraid of thugs, but he was afraid of educated thugs. Zhang Tianxing was clearly a violent brute. Who would bother Zhang Tianxing for no reason?
He could only avoid him, not fight him, and the other party was educated, appearing on TV and in newspapers several times. He had clearly been blinded by greed, thinking he could get rich from this man, but he never expected this scholar to be so formidable in a fight.
"Kong Er Lengzi, we are all people from Yangcheng. The old and young here see each other every day. It's understandable that you want to get rich. We are all straightforward people. Let's speak plainly. Making money is fine, but harming the interests of the old and young is unacceptable! Do you understand!!"
Kong Er Lengzi repeatedly nodded. The next time he saw Zhang Tianxing, he would stay as far away as possible. He couldn't afford to offend him!
