Chapter 1569 Zhao Hu is restless
"What did you say?! Mingchuan's brother?!"
In an instant, the faces of the many disciples of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect present turned extremely grim.
Especially Su Hongzhen.
Originally, he held a grand banquet not only to celebrate "Cang Zi'ang" stealing the spotlight in public, but also to celebrate "Ming Chuan" being trapped in the Demon Abyss, thus eliminating one of his formidable rivals.
Unexpectedly, Mingchuan brought his brother up first!
Aside from shock and anger, most of those present felt a sense of relief.
If Jizhou is Mingchuan's brother... then his prowess becomes understandable...
After all, Mingchuan is a terrorist... so the people around him must be just as bad.
Su Hongzhen felt a surge of blood rush to his throat, and he almost spat it out on the spot.
That damned Mingchuan man might not be completely dead yet, but his brother jumped out first and, in the very place he had carefully prepared, publicly beat the eldest disciple of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect to a pulp, leaving him utterly powerless and rubbing the face of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect into the ground!
This feeling is worse than swallowing a fly!
"You...you all..." Su Hongzhen pointed at Sect Leader Ye, his fingers trembling, so angry that he could barely speak.
Sect Leader Ye chuckled and said, "Old Su, don't be angry. We're just having a friendly spar. Competition comes second, friendship comes first!"
"I didn't expect Jizhou to be so honest, so reckless. But then again, this also proves that young friend Mingchuan has a discerning eye. Jizhou is indeed a promising talent. Keeping him in our Qingfeng Yumen is not a waste of his potential, is it?"
His words were like rubbing salt into Su Hongzhen's wounds, while also elevating his own sect in the process.
Su Hao, lying on the ground, was filled with shame and indignation upon hearing these words, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
Losing to an unknown newcomer is embarrassing enough, but the opponent is Mingchuan's brother, whom he hates the most!
This double blow made his vision go black, and he almost fainted.
Zhao Hu clicked his tongue in amazement: "My goodness... Mingchuan's brother? No wonder he's so fierce... What did this family eat to grow up like this?"
The cultivators from other sects below the stage were also discussing among themselves, and their gazes toward Qingfeng Yumen and Jizhou had completely changed.
Originally, it was thought that Qingfeng Yumen had stumbled upon a genius by sheer luck, but little did they know that Mingchuan, that nemesis, was standing behind this genius!
The status and influence of Qingfeng Yumen will likely need to be reassessed.
Ye Chuhan felt incredibly pleased to see Su Hongzhen looking like he was about to explode with anger but was also helpless. He put his hands on his hips, raised his chin high, and spoke exaggeratedly to Ji Zhou in a voice that everyone could hear.
"Brother, well done! Now let's see who dares to mock Qingfeng Yumen for having no one! Even if Brother Mingchuan isn't here, we still have you, Jizhou! Let's see who dares to look down on us from now on!"
Ji Zhou felt the focus of everyone's attention, and a surge of pride welled up within him.
He knew that after this battle, his name, Jizhou, along with his relationship with Mingchuan, would quickly spread throughout the Spirit Realm.
He stood firmly in the center of the field, enduring all sorts of complex gazes, neither humble nor arrogant. His composure made him someone not to be underestimated!
Mingchuan took in the reactions of the crowd below the stage and chuckled to himself.
The results were even better than he had expected.
Seeing that the situation was about right, and that Su Hongzhen was about to flip the table if things continued to escalate, he stood up at the opportune moment.
"All right."
He chuckled and smoothed things over, saying, "Su Hao, you've already done your best. It wasn't your fault today, so don't blame yourself."
"As for this brother from Jizhou, he is indeed formidable."
Mingchuan's eyes were filled with approval: "I look forward to your continued efforts. I've never had the chance to spar with you before, and I'm very curious what it would be like if we could."
Ye Chuhan clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.
Mingchuan is truly a good actor. If he continues to develop in the entertainment industry in the lower realm with Dong Chuyan, he would become a heartthrob for countless young men and win so many Best Actor awards.
With the help of several fellow disciples, Su Hao returned to his seat with a pale face, keeping his head down the whole time and not daring to look at anyone.
The tea tasting event continued in a subtle atmosphere. The sounds of string and wind instruments rose again, but everyone's mind was clearly no longer on the tea ceremony. Their eyes would occasionally glance at the trio from Qingfeng Yumen who were in the limelight, especially Jizhou, who had become famous in one battle.
However, there are always those who can't stand being alone.
Zhao Hu sat in the audience, scratching his head and looking at the dejected Su Hao, then at the nonchalant Ji Zhou, and then at the unfathomable "Cang Zi'ang". His fighting spirit rose again.
He slapped his thigh and jumped back onto the sparring platform, cupping his fists towards Jizhou, his face full of excitement and eagerness.
Zhao Hu excitedly jumped onto the stage, rubbing his hands together, his body surging with crimson spiritual energy, carrying the momentum of a wild bull.
"Brother Jizhou! You're amazing! I, Zhao Hu, am impressed! But... I'm itching to get my hands dirty. Seeing how much fun you had just fought, I'm really itching to try it out! Could you teach me a few moves? Let me see how big the gap is between you and me!"
His words were straightforward and had a touch of humor, which didn't make him annoying; on the contrary, they eased the tense atmosphere from before.
Jizhou was slightly taken aback, and his gaze subconsciously turned to Mingchuan in the main seat.
Mingchuan smiled and secretly transmitted his voice to Jizhou: "Play with him for a bit. This kid is a rough diamond, and he's not a bad person. Help him bring out some of his potential, but be careful not to hurt him or reveal too much of your secrets."
Having received Mingchuan's approval and instructions, Jizhou understood.
He looked at Zhao Hu, who was looking on expectantly, and smiled gently, nodding: "Brother Zhao, if you have such an interest, Ji Zhou will certainly keep you company. Please!"
"Haha! That's great!" Zhao Hu was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. Crimson flames rose around him once more, but this time his aura was less arrogant than Su Hao's, and more grounded and determined.
"Brother Jizhou! I'm sorry to offend you!"
Zhao Hu let out a low growl and stopped talking nonsense.
He stomped his feet on the ground and shot out like an arrow, his right fist striking Jizhou's face without any fancy moves. Flames burst from the fist, bringing with them a scorching shockwave.
It was his signature Fiery Punch that made him famous!
Seeing this, Ji Zhou remained calm and composed. Only when the fiery fist was about to hit him did he slightly turn his body and extend his right hand like a gentle breeze. He did not take the blow head-on, but instead spread his five fingers, and a soft and dense whirlwind instantly formed in front of his palm.
"laugh--"
Zhao Hu's fiery fist, powerful enough to shatter stone tablets, crashed into this whirlwind, but it was as if he had sunk into an invisible quagmire. The violent impact was dissipated and guided to one side by the layers of swirling winds!
The flames grazed the hem of Jizhou's clothes, only managing to lift a few strands of his hair without harming him in the slightest!
Zhao Hu stared at his hands in shock.
How can this be! ?
