Chapter 164: Chapter 0164: Kill Towards Iron Sword Sect_1
"I alone am enough," Zhang Bin said confidently. Worried that his portrayal of Zhang Kai might overshadow the glorious image he had in Xiao Fang’s mind, he added, "I started my cultivation ten years before my junior brother Zhang Bin, so I’m a bit stronger than him. However, my talent isn’t as good as his. He’ll surpass me soon."
"I knew my son was a once-in-a-lifetime cultivation genius." Mother Zhang immediately swelled with pride, her spirits soaring.
"Can’t you be a little more modest?" Father Zhang complained from the side.
"Modest? Why should I be modest? My son is just that amazing, isn’t that right, everyone?" Mother Zhang said proudly.
"Right, right, right!" The many villagers who had gathered to watch the excitement all chimed in loudly.
In their minds, Zhang Bin was the most talented youth, the pride of Sanchahe Village, and their idol.
Zhang Bin broke into a sweat, his face flushing with embarrassment. His mother’s habit of showing off was getting worse.
After about another half an hour, the sound of a helicopter finally cut through the air. Then, a helicopter slowly descended and landed outside the gate.
Zhang Bin had, of course, been waiting outside the whole time. His parents and a few other villagers were gathered around him, asking about his time in the deep mountains.
Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie jumped out, along with another middle-aged man. He wasn’t particularly tall; in fact, he was rather thin and small. But as his eyes opened and closed, a sharp light flashed like electricity, giving him a very powerful appearance.
He was Luo Chengliang, a top expert from the Special Action Team, nicknamed Luo Zong because he had been the general manager of a company for many years.
"You must be Zhao Dawei. I’m Zhang Bin’s senior brother, Zhang Kai. Thanks for coming," Zhang Bin said gratefully as he stepped forward.
Zhao Dawei, however, was stunned. "You’re Zhang Kai? You’re going to the Iron Sword Sect to confront Han Tie, a man who has one foot in the Golden Core Realm?"
He had assumed that even if Zhang Kai wasn’t an old man, he would at least be middle-aged. After all, the cultivation of Inner Family Kung Fu required a long time; it wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight. But the Zhang Kai before him looked to be about the same age as Zhang Bin. How could he possibly be a match for Han Tie?
"Yes, I’m Zhang Kai. We are in the right, so he wouldn’t dare to act tyrannically, would he?" Zhang Bin said, putting on a simple-minded look.
"If he doesn’t act tyrannically, is he supposed to reason with you?" Zhao Dawei replied, a look of frustration on his face. "If I had known this was the situation, I would have asked Master Tianlong to intervene."
The expert he had brought, Luo Chengliang, was indeed very strong, but there was no absolute guarantee he could defeat Han Tie. Besides, the Iron Sword Sect had many other powerful experts aside from Han Tie. If they went just like this, they had no chance of success. They might even tip them off.
"It’s no problem. Just take me there, and I can handle it," Zhang Bin said with a nonchalant, carefree air.
This is completely unreliable, Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie all muttered in their hearts.
"Don’t underestimate him. He has cultivated to the Mid Stage of the Qi Sea Realm," Luo Chengliang said to Zhao Dawei via voice transmission. "His sect seems quite extraordinary. He might have an ace up his sleeve."
Zhao Dawei’s eyes widened in disbelief. He stared at Zhang Bin as if looking at a monster, screaming internally, How on earth did this guy cultivate to the Mid Stage of the Qi Sea Realm? He’s so young! How is this possible? How is this possible?! Could he be a peerless genius on par with Master Tianlong? If so, then in a few decades, China will have another Golden Core Stage expert!
They immediately boarded the helicopter. Zhang Bin even stuck his head out to wave. "Don’t worry, I’ll kill the murderer soon! Our Taiqing Sect is not one to be bullied!"
He was building up the prestige of the sect he had fabricated. Only if the villagers knew of his sect’s strength would the news spread, deterring the hungry wolves coveting his wealth.
Amidst the cheers of the villagers, the helicopter rose into the air and flew straight toward the Iron Sword Sect.
The four members of the Special Action Team, however, wore strange expressions. Zhang Kai said he was going to kill Han Tie? Did he really have that kind of strength? He was a genius, to be sure, but he had only cultivated to the Mid Stage of the Qi Sea Realm. How could he dare claim he could kill Han Tie, who had reached the Late Stage of the Liquidization Realm?
"Zhang Kai, how old are you? Do you really not have an ID card?" Zhao Dawei asked curiously.
"I’m twenty. I’ve never left the mountain; I’ve only ever cultivated at my sect. I’m an orphan. My master found me and brought me back, so I really don’t have an ID card," Zhang Bin lied.
"I see. So, how many people are in your sect? What realm has your master cultivated to?" Zhao Dawei asked again.
"Our sect has just over fifty people..." he began, then quickly clamped a hand over his mouth. "My sect forbids me from speaking about it."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Dawei and the others burst into laughter, now even more convinced of the might of Zhang Bin’s sect. After all, for a hidden sect to have over fifty members was already a considerable size. And judging from two genius disciples like Zhang Bin and Zhang Kai, one could only imagine how formidable the Taiqing Sect truly was.
"Zhang Kai, are you interested in working for our Special Action Team?" Luo Chengliang asked expectantly, looking at Zhang Bin with admiration.
"Our Special Action Team has beautiful women, top-tier ones at that," Zhao Dawei added, taking out his phone. He pulled up a picture of a beautiful woman and showed it to Zhang Bin. It was, of course, a photo of Hanbing Yun.
Zhang Bin, having already seen it as Hacker Rabbit King, chuckled to himself. He now finally understood just how shameless Zhao Dawei was, always using this photo as bait. He had used it to tempt the Rabbit King, and now he was using it to tempt his other identity.
He deliberately feigned a look of infatuation. "This woman is truly beautiful. My master said I can only leave the mountain after I reach the Golden Core Realm. So, can you give me this woman as my wife first?"
Zhao Dawei was so angry he nearly vomited blood. Is this guy really that naive, or is he just pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
Qian Bing and Sun Tie, however, had peculiar smiles on their faces. Their captain had used Hanbing Yun’s photo to tempt countless people, and now, for the first time, he’d finally been rebuffed.
Luo Chengliang also mused to himself, If Doctor Han knew Zhao Dawei was using her photo to recruit people like this, I wonder how she’d deal with him.
"Brother Zhao, just send this beauty to Sanchahe Village, and I’ll go there to pick her up," Zhang Bin pressed eagerly.
Damn it, trying to get something for nothing! In his dreams! Zhao Dawei fumed internally, but he said aloud, "She’s no ordinary woman; her status is quite noble. You’ll only have a chance to pursue her if you join our Special Action Team."
"Alright then. I’ll pursue her once I reach the Golden Core Realm. Make sure she waits for me," Zhang Bin said with a simple-minded look.
"Pfft..." Zhao Dawei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. By the time you reach the Golden Core Realm, Hanbing Yun will be an old woman! And she’s supposed to wait for you? As if!
