Chapter 1567: Chapter 1567

Zhuge Qing exclaimed with suspicion, "I don’t know the person you’re talking about, but my surname is Zhuge, and my given name is Qing."

Tang Ming frowned, casting a doubtful gaze at Zhuge Qing, "If I’m not mistaken, the move you just used is the Goulou Hand, right?"

"Indeed! It’s impressive that you recognize the Goulou Hand."

Yang Jin and the others were baffled, having no idea what Tang Ming was talking about or who Zhuge Wushen was, nor what the Goulou Hand was.

"A member of the Zhuge Family?"

Meng Xianjun’s expression slightly changed; if this Zhuge Qing truly belonged to that family, it would indeed be troublesome.

"Heh, theoretically, you have ties to Zhuge Wushen, and I should give you face, but the two of them have despicable morals. They once plotted against my girlfriend, and I showed mercy. Now they come to provoke again; if I don’t teach them a lesson, won’t that be a loss of face for me?"

Tang Ming sneered coldly, feeling quite frustrated inside, wondering why this dialogue made him feel like the villain.

"So, you’re not planning to give me face then?"

Zhuge Qing stared at Tang Ming with an indifferent expression.

"It’s not that I won’t give face, it’s that I can’t. If I let you easily rescue them today, they will only become more emboldened by their reliance on you in the future, so even if you step in, those two must pay the price today."

Tang Ming firmly stated his stance.

"Then let’s fight; I don’t want to waste words."

Zhuge Qing’s expression turned cold.

"I’ve said I’ll give face to Zhuge Wushen, but I won’t let these two go, so I don’t want to engage with you."

Tang Ming slowly raised his hand, pointing at Brother Hao and Liu Fengchang.

"With me here, no one can harm them."

Zhuge Qing insisted, "Although their conduct is questionable, since we’ve shared the same space, I must look after them."

"Unfortunately, the ones I aim to deal with cannot be shielded by anyone."

Tang Ming clenched his fist suddenly.

Brother Hao and Liu Fengchang simultaneously screamed in agony, their bodies beginning to decay, eventually turning into a pool of blood.

Chen Cang hurriedly covered Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s eyes; the scene was too brutal.

Yang Jin and the others were utterly stunned, unable to comprehend how those protected by a master like Zhuge Qing could be so easily killed by Tang Ming.

Han Shan was even sweating profusely on his back; he’d already anticipated Tang Ming’s strength, but didn’t foresee it being this overwhelming to the point of snatching lives effortlessly. If they’d fought to the death with him back then, wouldn’t they be the ones dying?

Yang Jin and the others shared the same thoughts, secretly relieved they’d made peace with Tang Ming; otherwise, this person was too terrifying.

"How audacious, you poisoned and killed them."

Zhuge Qing stared at Tang Ming angrily, "What’s your name?"

"I never change my name wherever I go; my name is Tang Ming."

Tang Ming gazed at Zhuge Qing with even more pride, "Originally, their sins weren’t deserving of death, and at most, they’d be crippled. But since you stepped in to protect them, I had to make sure they died to prevent them from acting recklessly under your protection in the future."

"Alright then, if you’re prepared to tear down my efforts, don’t blame me for being rude."

Zhuge Qing glared at Tang Ming with a look of displeasure; he’d just said no one could harm Brother Hao and Liu Fengchang, yet they were killed in an instant, without even leaving a body.

"Brothers for life, share the good times and endure the hard times together."

Meng Xianjun cheerfully stepped up to Tang Ming’s side.

Chen Cang also stepped forward without hesitation.

Shao Wuyou and Hua Yingjie looked at each other and quickly stepped up as well.

Yang Jin and the others exchanged glances and then the four Vice Alliance Hierarchs also strode forward, assuming a united front.

"Heh, Tang Ming, you have some skills, managing to rally the Martial Arts folks by your side as a newcomer."

Zhuge Qing laughed, a sharp gleam in his eyes, "But unfortunately, even if Sun Taiji personally intervenes today, you all must be taught a lesson?"

Shao Wuyou asked uncertainly.

"This era’s Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Arts."

Yang Jin grew serious, looking with doubt at Zhuge Qing, "Do you know our Alliance Hierarch?"

"A mere nobody, not worth knowing."

Zhuge Qing derisively curled his lip and slowly raised his hand, "All of you, come at me together, don’t waste time."

"Too arrogant, even more so than Brother Ming."

Enraged by Zhuge Qing’s arrogance, Chen Cang couldn’t stand it.

"Step back, I’ll handle it."

Tang Ming stretched his muscles, unsure of Zhuge Qing’s cultivation level, but confident in facing him.

"Tang bro, today we owe you a favor, let us repay you now!"

Yang Jin held Tang Ming back, smiling, "He dare underestimate our Alliance Hierarch, the Martial Arts must take a stand."

"Right! You only have Seven Stars strength in cultivation now, let us fight for you."

The Dragon Lady resolutely nodded.

Tang Ming hesitated, if the opponent was truly related to Zhuge Wushen, it could be difficult to handle.

"These fellows want to help gauge Zhuge Qing’s power, accept their goodwill."

Meng Xianjun nudged Tang Ming, quietly reminding him.

"Alright then, just be careful."

Thereupon, Yang Jin, Dragon Lady, Yang Chen, and Tie Longzhan formed a circle around Zhuge Qing.

"Only four of you? All of you, come at me together, don’t waste time."

Zhuge Qing scanned them disdainfully.

"You punk, you’re way too cocky."

Incensed by Zhuge Qing’s words, Yang Jin roared in fury, summoning a fierce Vigorous Air Shield, aggressively charging at Zhuge Qing.

Dragon Lady simultaneously summoned Gang Qi, coordinating with Yang Jin to charge forth.

Tie Longzhan and Yang Chen also promptly launched their attacks.

"Hahaha, I’ve kept a low profile for so long, today I surmount over the Martial Arts folks."

Facing four attackers, Zhuge Qing laughed heartily and stamped his foot, creating a silver circular pattern formed by Gang Qi beneath him.

"He’s indeed from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."

Meng Xianjun’s face slightly altered, shouting incredulously.

"Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes."

Tang Ming exclaimed in amazement, now fully certain of this person’s connection with Zhuge Wushen.

At this moment, Yang Jin and the other three had reached Zhuge Qing and simultaneously entered within the pattern at his feet.

Zhuge Qing bent down, swiftly spinning his body, conjuring a whirlwind out of thin air, sweeping Yang Jin and the others away.

Shao Wuyou glared, cursing, sending all four Eight-star Martial Masters flying with a single move—is this even possible?

"How can his Gang Qi appear in this form?"

Hua Yingjie stammered in utter terror.

"Bang bang bang bang."

Yang Jin and the others crashed to the ground almost simultaneously, their Gang Qi dissipating upon impact, leaving them staring at Zhuge Qing in shock.
