Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 104 The Rhythm of Being Struck by Lightning

"AHH!!"

Accompanied by Luo Qingcheng’s shrill scream, a loud bang suddenly echoed from above. Dust cascaded down like rain, covering Chen Xiaobei entirely. He looked back and saw Liang Zheng standing atop a large rock, staring at him furiously. Farther away, Li Xinghe watched, flanked by a dozen bodyguards.

"Chen Xiaobei, you didn’t expect this old man to come looking for you, did you?" Li Xinghe slowly walked up. He had already bathed, but a nauseating stench still clung to him.

Chen Xiaobei pulled Luo Qingcheng behind him and said coldly, "Old bastard, if I were you, I’d piss off. I’m in a foul mood right now, so you’d better not fucking provoke me." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"How dare you worthless scum cause trouble at my place! Chen Xiaobei, kill them all for me!" Xi Yao, who was in the river, also went berserk, shouting with adorable ferocity.

Since Li Xinghe couldn’t see her, he simply said with utter contempt, "Chen Xiaobei, oh, Chen Xiaobei. I have always appreciated talent, which is why I’ve been so lenient with you. But you’re ungrateful, choosing to team up with this damned girl from the Luo Family! I think the feng shui here is quite good. It’ll make a fine grave for the two of you."

As he finished speaking, Liang Zheng leaped through the air and landed right in front of Chen Xiaobei. "You little bastard, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Today, I will twist your head off and feed it to the dogs!" Clenching his massive fist, Liang Zheng’s eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Chen Xiaobei—" Luo Qingcheng’s delicate body trembled, and she was filled with immense regret. If she hadn’t impulsively run out of the village, she wouldn’t have given Li Xinghe the opportunity to strike. Are Chen Xiaobei and I truly fated to die here today?

But Chen Xiaobei simply wrapped an arm around her waist and smiled. "Don’t be afraid. This old bastard can’t harm me. Go wait by the side; I’ll take care of them in a flash!"

"This—" Luo Qingcheng’s eyes were filled with worry, but she knew she couldn’t afford to distract him, so she walked over to the riverbank.

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei rolled up his sleeves and said coldly, "So you’re Liang Zheng? I hear you’re at the Mysterious Rank Fifth Grade. In that case, make your move. It’s a perfect chance for this young master to see just how formidable I really am!"

"What?" Liang Zheng thought he had misheard. He had seen plenty of braggarts, but never one on Chen Xiaobei’s level. This was practically begging to be struck by lightning!

Li Xinghe’s face flushed with anger. "A Zheng, just cripple him! Today, I’m going to flay this stinking brat alive!"

"Master, just watch me!"

WHOOSH!

As his words fell, Liang Zheng charged at Chen Xiaobei like a gust of wind.

"Chen Xiaobei, go get him! If you dare to shame me, I’ll never let you hear the end of it!" Xi Yao shouted, having climbed out of the river. It had been many years since she had witnessed such a lively scene. With a ham sausage in hand, she settled in to become part of the munching crowd.

Chen Xiaobei flashed an "OK" sign at Xi Yao. Just as Liang Zheng’s hand was about to grab his chest, Chen Xiaobei shifted his feet, his body moving with an incredibly uncanny motion to dodge the attack. This move was the Seven Star Tian Gang Step, a basic Light Body Technique from the second level of the Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique. Xi Yao herself had created it by referencing the movements of the Big Dipper and the Eight Trigrams. At the Mahayana Realm, one could traverse ten thousand miles in a single step, shattering the very void!

Of course, Chen Xiaobei was nowhere near that capable yet. Even so, he was far beyond what a Secular Martial Artist like Liang Zheng could ever hope to match.

Instantly, Liang Zheng was startled. His movements are so fast!

From a distance, Li Xinghe’s expression tightened. "A Zheng, can you take him down?"

"Master, although his movement technique is uncanny, his Inner Strength is weaker than mine. I guarantee I’ll take him down within ten exchanges!" Liang Zheng called back with a smile. Turning his attention back to Chen Xiaobei, he shouted, "Brat, being fast is useless! As they say, brute force breaks all fancy techniques. You’d better not let me hit you, or I’ll flatten you today!"

WHOOSH!

With that, Liang Zheng regrouped, clenched his fist, and charged at Chen Xiaobei once more. Previously, Chen Xiaobei had only faced Jiang Feng, a martial artist at the Mysterious Rank Third Grade. Although there was only a difference of two minor realms, Liang Zheng was on a completely different level in terms of both speed and power. Before he even arrived, Chen Xiaobei could feel the piercing astral wind emanating from Liang Zheng’s fist.

Damn, it’s a good thing I broke through to the second level. With my previous strength, even if I had won, it would have been a pyrrhic victory. But now? He’s nothing special. A cold smirk touched the corner of Chen Xiaobei’s mouth.

This time, he didn’t dodge. Instead, his hands formed into claws and shot toward Liang Zheng’s wrist. Liang Zheng never imagined that Chen Xiaobei would dare to clash with him head-on. As a practitioner of hard-body martial arts, he feared a direct confrontation least of all. "Hahaha, Chen Xiaobei, you’re really courting death!" Liang Zheng laughed heartily, his fist slamming toward Chen Xiaobei’s palm.

"Be careful!" Luo Qingcheng screamed from a distance, her face turning pale with fright. Xi Yao, however, merely yawned, having lost all interest in the outcome.

At that same moment, the smile on Liang Zheng’s face froze. He discovered that his fist felt as if it were glued to Chen Xiaobei’s palm. No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn’t break free! Liang Zheng’s face filled with horror. "You... you’re at the Mysterious Rank Eighth Grade?! Only someone at the Mysterious Rank Eighth Grade can convert suction into power! You little rascal, you tricked us?"

"Who tricked you?" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "This young master never said what realm I was at. You idiots were the ones who insisted on underestimating me. Since that’s the case, you’ll just have to suffer the consequences!"

"What... what are you going to do?" Liang Zheng was petrified.

Just then, Chen Xiaobei squeezed his hand.

CRACK!

With a sickening sound, Liang Zheng’s fist was crushed on the spot.

"AAAAAHHH!" Liang Zheng let out a dreadful howl. But before he could even fall to his knees, Chen Xiaobei hoisted him into the air.

SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!

Just as he had done with Jiang Feng, Chen Xiaobei began to smash Liang Zheng’s body left and right. With each impact, chunks of flesh and blood were torn away. In a matter of seconds, Liang Zheng had been battered to death!

"Oh my God!" Seeing this, Li Xinghe’s mind went blank. Faced with the reaper-like Chen Xiaobei, his legs turned to jelly. "Shoot him! Shoot him dead!" he shrieked. "Whoever kills him gets one hundred million!"

CLICK-CLACK!

In an instant, over a dozen gunmen pulled out their weapons.

"Chen Xiaobei, watch out!" Luo Qingcheng cried out, her pretty face once again filled with despair.

This time, even Xi Yao frowned. She knew Chen Xiaobei’s strength; even with the Seven Star Tian Gang Step, escaping from so many guns would be difficult. At the very least, he wouldn’t be able to guarantee Luo Qingcheng’s safety.

But just then...

MEOW—

Accompanied by a crisp meow, Xiao Hua appeared on the scene, her tail wagging.
