Chapter 192 - Poking a Hornets Nest (2/2)
Having given a beating to all ten suitors present here, Qin Fen had long thrown caution to the wind. He simply didn’t care whether Song Wendong would come looking for trouble. In fact, it would be impossible for a man of his stature to directly make a move on a junior!
Butler Hou took out his mobile and made a call. Right then, a swish was suddenly heard coming from Song Jia’s room on the second floor as the sound of something tearing through the air entered everyone’s ears.
Immediately, goosebumps exploded all over Qin Fen’s body as he turned around and fired a Soaring Cannon, smashing the peanut flying at him into pieces.
As Qin Fen had fired the punch in a hurry, the physical strength applied on it was in a very weakened state. As such, Qin Fen’s fist felt sore, as if he wasn’t blasting a small and fragile peanut but rather a ball of steel.
BOOM!
The peanut fragmented into pieces before they were smashed into nothing. In that very instant, two swishing sounds came from above as two peanuts tore through the air.
Qin Fen raised his head as he sighed in his heart, again and again. The man who was firing the peanuts was indeed his father-in-law, Song Zhenting.
The two peanuts arrived before him almost at the same time. At this instant, with Qin Fen’s fist still in pain, he recovered his grip completely. In a hurry, Qin Fen lunged his left leg before making a horizontal sweep with his right elbow, knocking down the two peanuts immediately.
As a matter of fact, Qin Fen couldn’t avoid them. Even if Qin Fen and Song Zhenting were separated by a certain distance, Qin Fen had noticed Song Zhenting’s intentions from his eyes; he could smash the peanuts into pieces, but he absolutely could not avoid them!
If he dodged them, he could forget ever mentioning Song Jia’s matter.
Just after two peanuts, another four peanuts came tearing through the air.
Qin Fen was suddenly having a headache. He could not understand what this father-in-law was thinking. Why was he testing him again and again?
Turning the Tri-Lotus Palm into Quad-Lotus Palm, Qin Fen smashed the four peanuts fired by Song Zhenting into pieces.
Six…eight…twelve…
Holding the plate of peanuts, Song Zhenting’s face turned gloomy. Also, as time went by, the peanuts fired became faster and stronger.
As Song Zhenting wasn’t able to figure out Qin Fen’s protective divine art from his recent fight with Ge Bing, he had to take action personally now.
In the beginning, Qin Fen was still able to receive the peanuts with his punches alone. But as the peanuts fired by Song Zhenting became more and more rapid, he had no choice but to use his fists and elbows, only then was he able to deal with those peanuts that were even faster than shots from an assault rifle.
Watching the peanuts shot by him getting blocked by Qin Fen completely, Song Zhenting’s face grew uglier and uglier.
In the beginning, he only wanted to figure out what protective divine art Qin Fen was actually using. But until now, he didn’t get to see what his protective divine art was. And now, all the peanuts shot by him had been blocked.
Furious, Song Zhenting added a bit more power to the peanuts. Now, instead of using his fingers to flick the peanuts, he directly grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plates and rained them down on Qin Fen.
For a moment, swishing sounds could be heard to no end. At the sight of this, Song Jia was also terrified. She immediately turned around and hugged Song Zhenting’s arm. “Daaaadddddd…”
She dragged her shout for a bit longer, calming down Song Zhenting a bit. As such, a handful of peanuts were finally not thrown for the second time.
Even though Song Zhenting had stopped throwing the peanuts, Qin Fen was still in a miserable state. After the fierce battle, he had long exhausted seventy to eighty percent of his physical strength. In fact, even if he was in his heyday, it begged the question of whether he could still defend against those endless peanuts raining down on him, let alone now, when he had already exhausted most of his strength.
No matter how Qin Fen wanted to defend, he couldn’t block them completely; all he could do was use his body to take them head-on. Twenty-some peanuts struck various parts of his body, making him feel that he was shot in some battlefield.
Just twenty-some peanuts made him retreat, again and again. Had he not have a breath of air still remaining in his lungs, he would not have been able to stand until now. He felt like the protective true energy in his body was being smashed apart.
The doubtful look in Song Zhenting’s eyes grew even more. The last endless rain of peanuts indeed has smashed Qin Fen’s protective divine art apart. That should be the Golden Bell Shield.
Yet, it seemed that his protective divine art wasn’t broken. Because after the Golden Bell Shield’s True Energy had been broken, there was still another protective divine art present which received all the peanuts.
Double-layer protective divine art? Song Zhenting was very suspicious. How could this possibly appear on a five-star martial artist who had just entered the meteor level?
Qin Fen’s entire body was sore to the point that he was shaking. On the other hand, the suitors who were violently beaten by Qin Fen felt super-refreshed as well as surprised.
They felt refreshed because this overbearing, invincible young man finally got to know the pain of a beating.
What they were surprised about was that those peanuts were thrown by the son of Earth Martial God, Song Wendong. Even though he had suppressed his strength when he made his move, it was still incomparably shocking. Had they struck a boulder, it would presumably be split apart, let alone a human body.
Nonetheless, a young man, who had exhausted seventy to eighty percent of his strength, actually withstood those strikes and yet didn’t fall down.
The suitors could not help but wonder what kind of strict training Qin Fen bears.
With all his strength, Lin Liqiang gave an applaud before he strode towards Qin Fen and shouted in a loud voice, “Old Qin, you rocked! Completely rocked! The money we earned from today’s fight must be divided!”
Earned money? Qin Fen was taken aback for a moment. The fight just now was for snatching his wife, what did it have to do with earning money…?
As Qin Fen’s gaze fell upon the suitors lying on the ground, his eyes immediately lit up brightly.
All these people used to be in Lin Liqiang’s circle. If they were defeated, they would not only lose their reputation, their status in their respective families might also suffer some changes.
Lin Liqiang, brushing past by Qin Fen, squatted down before the suitors.
Looking incomparably sad, he said, “Everyone, you all know me, what’s good, what’s bad. My big mouth…can not be changed!”
Shaking his head while dragging his words, an evil smile appeared on Lin Liqiang’s face, giving chills to the young suitors.
“Young Master Lin, we know you are short on money.” Oliver heaved a sigh. “Speak your price.”
Lin Liqiang clapped with all his strength once more before he raised his thumb and simply spoke one word, “Tactful!”
The suitors could only smile bitterly. Is this the right time to be tactful?
“Young man.”
Butler Hou, hanging up the call, gave a smile that gave chills even to Qin Fen.
“My Lord is already aware of your conduct. He very much appreciates your way of doing things.”
From Butler Hou’s voice, Qin Fen could not feel the slightest trace of appreciative feelings. On the contrary, it felt like he had touched the tail of a tiger, and the tiger was about to get angry.
“Therefore…” Butler Hou heaved a long sigh. “My Lord said that all the trials of suitor would be altered a bit. Anyone who can beat you will be considered to have passed the first round. Therefore, I am afraid you will be very busy in the future.”
