Chapter 205 Conditions
Seeing Chang Wusheng blink and then collapse to the ground in defeat.
His three teammates were stunned, their confidence in Chang Wusheng had been immense.
They had not expected such an unexpected outcome.
"Cough cough cough…"
Chang Wusheng spat out the murky energy in his chest and slowly got up from the ground.
At this moment, he felt an unbearable pain and numbness in his chest.
His gaze toward Chongfan was filled with innumerable wariness.
Unlike him, Li Qianqian had strong reasons to believe that the kidnapping and murder case was executed by disciples of the Taiji Sect!
"Captain, keep going!"
"Keep beating him down!"
...
Chang Wusheng's three teammates continuously shouted.
They believed Chang Wusheng to be the strongest among them; if even he fell.
Then this trip would have been in vain.
And losing the optimal time to solve the case, it would become even harder to crack it later on.
"I've lost…" Chang Wusheng had no confidence he could win against Chongfan.
Besides, he suspected Chongming's strength to be much more terrifying.
One Chongfan was like a towering mountain, and adding Chongming to the mix, he guessed he would never win in this lifetime.
"Are we just going to give up like this?" Li Qianqian murmured, and then stepped forward.
"I'll go!"
"Yo-ho, look what we have here, a pretty girl," Chongming taunted, "Girl, go back home. The Taiji Sect does not fight women."
"If you're scared, then let us in! And tell us everything about Chongyin," Li Qianqian said.
"Little girl, don't push it when we've already given you a face. Just arriving here safely is your biggest stroke of luck," stated Chongming discontentedly.
"Both of you, hands up!" Li Qianqian could no longer listen, seeing the clues right before her, how could she leave?
Therefore, her pistol once again pointed at Chongming.
Facing a case of this level, if someone dared to conceal information about a suspect, Li Qianqian would not be polite.
Seeing this, Xia Liu couldn't help shaking his head; this girl was too impulsive.
Didn't she notice that Chongfan was too close?
And around the stone slab where Chongfan stood, the dust started to slightly rise.
This was a sign of Inner Qi being intensely circulated.
If Xia Liu's guess was correct, Chongfan was about to take Li Qianqian's pistol.
Indeed, before Xia Liu had even finished his thought, Chongfan had made his move.
He moved in front of Li Qianqian with a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye, and with a quick reach of his hand, directly snatched the pistol away.
The whole action took no more than a second!
"This!!!"
Chang Wusheng and his three teammates were dumbfounded; they couldn't help but rub their eyes, and once they confirmed that the firearm was taken by Chongfan, their hearts were shocked.
As for Li Qianqian, she was already astonished, having only felt a gust of wind and then her hand was empty.
"Little girl, you're not used to playing with this kind of gun. Go home to your boyfriend or husband," Chongming said, examining the gun continuously.
With Chongfan in front as protection, he wasn't worried about being attacked.
"You!" Li Qianqian bit her teeth tightly, her eyes gradually reddening.
Facing two powerful martial arts experts, she realized that her modest skills were seen as nothing more than a mild breeze in their eyes, let alone a storm.
She didn't know what to do; was the journey going to end like this?
Impossible! She couldn't accept it!
"Xia Liu, didn't you say you came to help me solve the case?" Li Qianqian stared at Xia Liu, teeth clenched. Wasn't this guy supposed to be very powerful?
Why was he so silent today, as a man, didn't he dare to step forward?
"Yes, but my appearance fee is very expensive."
"How much do you want?"
"Entering Taiji Sect is just the beginning. Once the suspect is truly locked down, tell me Fang Fei's news."
A glint of vital energy passed through Xia Liu's eyes. In the current situation, it was most appropriate to negotiate with Li Qianqian.
Li Qianqian fell silent. Solving the case was important, but the news about Fang Fei was equally heavy.
"Hey, hey, have you had enough? Get back quickly! If you don't leave now, don't blame the Taiji Sect for being ruthless!"
Seeing Xia Liu and Li Qianqian talking like that, Chongming got annoyed.
It was as if he and Chongfan weren't there.
Talking about appearance fees as if it was so real.
"Don't interrupt for now." Xia Liu glanced at Chongming, his face all smiles filled with goodwill.
Huh?
Although Xia Liu's expression was very amiable, Chongming felt a chill come over him.
Chang Wusheng and his teammates were dumbfounded.
Xia Liu actually dared to speak to Chongming like that—did he really have the capability?
They all remembered Chen Jin telling them they must protect Xia Liu and Li Qianqian.
So they thought Xia Liu was only doing administrative work, and if he really had the ability to handle the two disciples, Chongming and Chongfan, he would have taken action earlier.
"Junior Brother, throw them all into the woods, whether they live or die is not our concern!" Chongming, after breaking through the feeling Xia Liu brought, roared immediately.
"If you really can help me solve the case, I am willing to talk about Sister Fang's news."
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
With Li Qianqian's promise, the smile on Xia Liu's face became even more splendid.
He glanced at Chongfan, who was approaching rapidly, still with a smile hanging on his face and twisted his neck slightly, then ran over.
Seeing Xia Liu swiftly running towards Chongfan, Li Qianqian and Chang Wusheng were stunned.
They originally thought that guy might have brought a gun, and if they were careful enough, there would definitely be a chance to counterattack.
Now it looked like all hope was gone.
"Ha ha! Bring it on! Let you outsiders witness the might of Taiji Sect!"
Chongfan laughed, his palms changing as he spoke.
The palm turned into a claw, then back to a palm; in the feinting motions, the distance between him and Xia Liu had disappeared.
To deal with a Taiji Sect move, Xia Liu did not overpower with Spiritual Energy, but responded with the same moves to Chongfan.
However, as soon as Xia Liu's Taiji Palm was executed, Chongfan's pupils shrank violently.
In an instant, he felt his body become airborne.
Thump!
After striking against the huge gate pillar, Chongfan's figure finally came to a stop.
It was one strike takedown! The same Taiji Moves with slow yet quick, strong yet fluid actions!
"Puh!"
Chongfan spat out a mouthful of blood, never expecting to encounter Taiji Fist like this one day.
Fortunately, Xia Liu bore no malice; otherwise, that hit might have left Chongfan with unimaginable internal injuries.
"Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm! Absolutely no mistake! You must be an Elder from the Taiji Sect headquarters!" Chongming's shock took a long time to subside.
What had he just witnessed!
That was something only seen in the records, Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm!
Li Qianqian and Chang Wusheng stared blankly at Xia Liu, never imagining that Xia Liu would take down Chongfan in one move.
And, hearing what Chongming said, it seemed his identity was quite formidable.
"Taiji Sect headquarters? What's that?" Xia Liu looked at Chongming in confusion.
This palm technique, blending both fists and palms, was all taught to him by the old man.
Could it be that the Taiji Sect headquarters was related to the old man?
"Junior Xia Liu of the 38th generation disciples of Taiji Sect at Martial World Mountain, Chongming pays respects to the Elder!" After the shock, Chongming bowed with clasped fists, respectfully greeting Xia Liu.
