My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 664 - 654: The King Returns

Just as Li Tianming was about to finish Song Tianbao with a knife, since keeping him alive held no value anymore, a stone suddenly flew from somewhere and hit Li Tianming’s wrist, causing him so much pain that the knife dropped to the ground with a clang.

"Who’s hiding in the shadows? If you’ve got the guts, come out and face me in a fair fight! What kind of honorable person skulks in the dark?"

Li Tianming yelled all around him.

He yelled for a long time, but no one responded. He had lost face when he acted earlier, and now he picked up the knife from the ground and stabbed at Song Tianbao once again.

Bang!

Another stone came flying, and this time it was thrown with even greater force, quickly causing Li Tianming’s wrist to swell and redden.

"Damn it, who the hell is it? Do you dare to come out and face me one-on-one?"

Li Tianming grimaced in pain, knowing that someone was deliberately making things difficult for him, yet he had no idea who it was.

"Who wants to duel me?"

Crack!

The front door of the Song Family was pushed open from the outside, and Su Xuan strolled in, followed by Qiuyue and Song Shuangshuang.

Li Tianming looked at Su Xuan as if he was seeing a ghost and said to Jing Gangzhi, "I told you, that night, it was him who rescued Qiuyue. Look, he’s here again now."

Jing Gangzhi stayed silent as he looked at Su Xuan, trying to gauge how much Su Xuan had recovered.

Seeing his precious daughter return, Song Tianbao was overwhelmed with emotion to the point of tears. Seeing Su Xuan leading her back, it was clear that this time Su Xuan must have been the one to rescue his daughter. Su Xuan was truly a good person; he had wronged him in the past. It was Li Tianming who was no good; he had been blinded by Li Tianming’s ’kindness.’

"Shuangshuang, you’ve finally come back!"

Song Tianbao exclaimed excitedly.

"Dad, I missed you too."

Shuangshuang also cried, probably because it was the first time she had been away from home for so long, and Song Tianbao’s dramatic speech just made it harder for Shuangshuang to hold back her tears.

"Stop crying your eyes out, no one’s dead," Li Tianming said discontentedly to the Song Family father and daughter. However, when he saw the radiant look of Song Shuangshuang, dark thoughts emerged in his mind again, and he wanted to strip Song Shuangshuang naked and ravage her.

Li Tianming also noticed Qiuyue following behind Su Xuan. If Su Xuan had arrived a bit later that night, he might have already had a taste of Qiuyue’s wildness. What a pity.

But now, the opportunity had finally come again, as Su Xuan had walked right into his trap. He couldn’t blame himself for what would happen next.

"Jing Gangzhi, take care of Su Xuan for me, and I will handle the two women behind him," Li Tianming said to Jing Gangzhi, grinning.

"But you only have one Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus."

Jing Gangzhi reminded him, clearly implying that doing this was a bit much for just one Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

"I have a pair of Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses, and they are as crucial to the Li Family as our own lives. But if you’re willing to eliminate Su Xuan for me, I will give them both to you!"

Actually, Li Tianmian was telling the truth; the Li Family did have a pair of Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses. Jing Gangzhi was well aware of this, as he already knew that in addition to Mount Everest, there were several other places in Huaxia Country where Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses could be found; the Li Family indeed had a pair. Jing Gangzhi wouldn’t have readily agreed to his terms back at the treasure site if he hadn’t known about them.

"Fine, I want two Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses, and I’ll finish off Su Xuan for you."

"It’s a deal,"

Li Tianming agreed. He’d already seen the Song Family’s treasure, and its value couldn’t be measured in money. Now, offering the two Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses from his family would not be a loss.

"Su Xuan, you’re one hardy man. Even disrupting your cultivation didn’t kill you. Seems like you weren’t fated to die last time, but you won’t be able to escape today," Jing Gangzhi shouted at Su Xuan, now convinced that Su Xuan had not fully recovered. He had suffered such severe injuries, how could he possibly have recovered in just a day or two? Just having Su Xuan standing there was shocking enough to Jing Gangzhi; his cultivation was ruined, and Jing Gangzhi could beat him with just one finger.

"Su Xuan, you are a cultivation genius; I can feel that you are very strong. However, today you’ve met me, and it’s like you’re courting death. Heaven had a path for you, but you wouldn’t take it. Hell doesn’t have a gate, yet you insist on breaking in. Today, if you die, you can blame no one but yourself!"

"Fine, fine, fine, it’s my choice to come here; it has nothing to do with you,"

replied Su Xuan.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Jing Gangzhi leaped down and landed just a few meters from Su Xuan.

Extending a finger, Jing Gangzhi said to Su Xuan, "I can kill you with just one finger."

"Is that so? And what if you can’t?"

Su Xuan looked at him coldly, thinking about all the difficulties he had faced when dealing with him before, Su Xuan felt that he had been too weak before, utterly feeble.

Shwoop!

Jing Gangzhi truly attacked with just one finger, his speed was incredibly fast, but to Su Xuan, it seemed unbearably slow.

Crack!

Su Xuan showed no mercy to Jing Gangzhi, and with a fierce move, he grabbed Jing Gangzhi’s finger and twisted it, breaking it with a snap.

Jing Gangzhi looked at Su Xuan like he was seeing an alien, and he even forgot the pain in his finger. He couldn’t believe that Su Xuan could move so fast, and he didn’t even see it clearly.

Ah!

Jing Gangzhi’s finger was broken, and his hand trembled, shocked beyond belief!

Li Tianming saw that Jing Gangzhi had not yet taken out Su Xuan and urged him, "Master Gangzhi, don’t spare any face for me. Just kill him; you don’t need to intentionally leave the body intact."

Hearing this, Su Xuan couldn’t help but want to laugh at the irony. Such a small fry was really puffing himself up at others’ expense; Su Xuan would deal with him later.

Jing Gangzhi, having heard Li Tianming’s words, explained, "I’m fine, it was just a tiny mistake. Killing Su Xuan is as simple as crushing an ant."

Just now, Jing Gangzhi had not used his cultivated power because to deal with a cripple like Su Xuan, it was simply not necessary! Using a cannon to kill a mosquito was an overkill.

This time, for the sake of his own face, Jing Gangzhi prepared to use the power of the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, which was the weakest force in the cultivation system. Jing Gangzhi felt that even this was somewhat bullying as Su Xuan’s cultivation had been disabled, and it indeed seemed a bit unfair.

Jing Gangzhi didn’t want to waste too much time on Su Xuan, so he sent a punch over. The speed of this punch wasn’t fast, it was just the speed of the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, but Jing Gangzhi still felt it was too fast for Su Xuan.

Crack!

Suddenly, Su Xuan made a swift move. This speed was once again beyond Jing Gangzhi’s comprehension. Su Xuan grabbed Jing Gangzhi’s fist and gave a fierce pull; luckily, Jing Gangzhi reacted swiftly, or else his arm could have been ripped off.

Ah!

Even though Jing Gangzhi quickly retracted his arm, it still became dislocated.

Crack!

Jing Gangzhi set his arm back in place himself. Now, he was somewhat puzzled about Su Xuan. He was using the power of the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, and Su Xuan’s cultivation had already been disabled—how could he still have the ability to fight back? It was unscientific.

"Master Gangzhi, hurry up and kill him so we can get ready to fetch the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus at my home," Li Tianming said deliberately, hoping to make Jing Gangzhi speed things up and not waste too much time.

Stimulated by Li Tianming’s words, Jing Gangzhi could no longer afford to delay!

This time he was going to use his full Power Transformation Fourth Layer!

This was Jing Gangzhi’s strongest capability. Just the day before yesterday, Su Xuan was knocked off the Ice Cliff by this very force, and now history was about to repeat itself.

Boom!

Jing Gangzhi struck towards Su Xuan’s head with what he believed to be his fastest speed, truly a vicious strike. Jing Gangzhi was ready to blow Su Xuan’s head apart.

Boom!

This time, Su Xuan didn’t dodge but also threw a punch. The scene from the day before yesterday replayed, strikingly similar in history, only the outcome changed.

Su Xuan sent his fist hurling forward. Before the wind from his punch even touched Jing Gangzhi’s, Jing Gangzhi’s body flew out and crashed heavily onto the ground.

For Su Xuan, this was the first time he experienced the power of the First Layer of Ancestor Returning. There was still a gap of Divine Entry between Ancestor Returning and Power Transformation—the disparity in strength was too great.

Jing Gangzhi lay on the ground, apparently severely injured, struggling to get up and fight again, but his body was leaden with unbearable pain, his chest bone that he used for cultivation also throbbing with agony.

Jing Gangzhi looked at Su Xuan incredulously, as if he were looking at a monster.

"How did you become so strong that you could resist my Power Transformation Fourth Layer! This is impossible."

Jing Gangzhi said weakly while lying on the ground.

"There are too many ’impossibilities’ in this world. You think you know all that is impossible, but I can tell you, even if ten Jing Gangzhis were to stand before me now, I could easily defeat them, just as easily. That’s the simple truth."

"What exactly have you been through? How did you become so powerful?"

"Can’t be bothered to say," Su Xuan replied indifferently, clearly unwilling to waste words on such a person.

Whoosh!

With a thought, Su Xuan was already beside Jing Gangzhi. Crack!

With a stomp, Su Xuan intended to return the favor from the day his cultivation was disabled. Tit for tat is fair play; this is what it means to be reasonable.

Ah!

Jing Gangzhi’s wail was like that of a slaughtered pig. Su Xuan sneered, looking down as if watching children fight.

Jing Gangzhi’s eyes showed unwillingness. He knew Su Xuan was a cultivation genius. Now, seeing that Su Xuan’s cultivation had recovered and become even stronger was perplexing. How did he do it? Jing Gangzhi harbored this mystery in his heart, but Su Xuan wouldn’t tell him.

Easily defeated by Su Xuan, Li Tianming was utterly panicked, clueless about what to do next as it seemed he had no more protector to rely on.

"Li Tianming, isn’t it about time we settled our account?"

Su Xuan said with a chuckle, advancing towards Li Tianming, who kept retreating in fear.

Suddenly, Li Tianming picked up a knife again and put it against Song Tianbao’s throat, threatening Su Xuan, "If you dare to come any closer, I’ll kill him!"

Su Xuan continued to move forward without stopping, his face still wearing a smile.

Song Tianbao was terrified. He didn’t expect that Su Xuan would place so little value on his life, perhaps because he had treated Su Xuan badly in the past.

Bang!

Li Tianming was on his knees, knocking his head on the ground repeatedly to the point that it bled, but he did not cease.

"Master Xuan, I didn’t recognize your great worth before; I admit my fault. These masters, although they were all hired by me, I only intended to capture you, not kill you. It was Jing Gangzhi who threw you off the Ice Cliff. You have grievances; go find him. There’s a specific culprit for every injustice. I am truly innocent," Li Tianming pleaded pitifully, presenting himself as the epitome of youth righteousness.

After kowtowing for a while, Li Tianming tried to approach to hug Su Xuan’s legs and beg for mercy, only to be kicked away by Su Xuan.
