Chapter 320 Head-to-Head
"Shut up—" Fang Ping glared at Li Changsheng. Although he knew what Chen Yunxi was thinking, he had no opinion on it. He was afraid of dying in the underground cave, so he was also in a bit of trouble with this situation.
"Hehe, what's there to be shy about? Men should marry when they're of age, and women should marry when they're of age—"
"Li Changsheng, you fake eighth-rank official, what are you saying? Don't think I can't hear you. My granddaughter is still a child."
Chen Yaoting, who was standing next to him, said,
What does it mean to be discussing marriage?
"What fake eighth rank? I'm a half-step eighth rank, I'm on the eighth rank list. Even if you're at the seventh rank, you're still being suppressed by someone."
Li Changsheng jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on and said.
"Hmph, if you're so capable, why don't you have a contest? Even if I'm only the second-ranked seventh grader, I'm still better than you."
"Let's have a contest then. Come on, let me show you the power of the Golden Body."
The two became more and more agitated as they talked, and in the end, Lu Hao and Commander Bai had to separate them, otherwise they would have definitely started a fight right there.
It must be said that Li Changsheng was a troublemaker in his youth, always ready to poke at people's sore spots.
Before long, just as everyone was waiting for the results of the arrest, several auras suddenly rushed towards them.
Everyone looked up to see who had arrived this time.
"Fang Ping, you dare to make baseless accusations? Do you really think no one can deal with you?"
A loud shout came from the sky, accompanied by a powerful pressure.
Li Changsheng, who was standing nearby, was not about to suffer such an injustice, and immediately took out a divine weapon from the Sanjiao Gate to make a move.
"Zheng Minghong, you dare to move again?"
Lu Hao naturally wouldn't do nothing; he immediately used the power of heaven and earth to break through Zheng Minghong's oppressive aura.
"What, Grandmaster Zheng, are you planning to make a move? Mr. Zheng, you should think this through. I'm currently at the peak of the seventh rank, and I've never even fought an eighth-rank opponent."
"It's a good opportunity to test our strength at the eighth rank. But once we really fight, it won't be an easy situation to resolve," Lu Hao said with a smile, weighing the God-Slaying Blade in his hand.
"What, is the pill company trying to silence us?" Fang Ping shouted.
"Stop it, all of you!"
The next moment, another eighth-rank aura rose, and it was Zhou Dingguo from the military. At the same time, several other high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Education and the Criminal Investigation Department also arrived.
"Aren't you too idle? If you're so idle, you should all go down into the underground caves. What are you doing showing off your heroism on the surface?"
"Stop! Now that this has happened, find out what's going on first. What are you trying to do by attacking right away?"
"Commander Zhou, esteemed masters, this is not our fault. General Zheng arrived with the overwhelming pressure of an eighth-rank official. I am merely a fifth-rank official, and currently severely injured. Did he intend to kill me, Fang Ping, to silence me, or did he deem me too weak to be killed at will?"
Fang Ping spoke up.
"Fang Ping, you are slandering me, Commander Zhou. It is not that I, Zheng Minghong, am being arrogant. It is just that Fang Ping has defamed my pharmaceutical company. All the achievements of my pharmaceutical company over the years have been wiped out by him in one sentence."
Are we people who have made no contribution to martial arts? Are we all cult martial artists?
"Hmph, merit? Does my Magic Martial Arts School have no merit? I, Fang Ping, have no merit in the underground cave? If everything is calculated by merit..."
"I need to think this through carefully. They didn't say a word, just attacked right away. Are they taking advantage of my weakness, or because I haven't accomplished anything?"
Fang Ping looked up and said.
"Hmph, whether or not I laid a hand on you, everyone here knows. If I really did lay a hand on you, do you think Li Changsheng and the others could protect you?"
Zheng Minghong said with a dark face.
Fang Ping didn't speak, and the next moment, the little flesh and blood on his body began to disintegrate.
"Fang Ping!" Zhou Dingguo shouted.
"I was already seriously injured in the previous battle, and I am now being kept alive by Wu Zhenshou's indestructible matter. Doesn't President Zheng know that?"
"Pressure pressure? What's wrong with pressure pressure? I'm on the verge of death. Can an eighth-rank pressure pressure really kill me? Or does President Zheng think that only a direct, physical attack counts as killing?"
Fang Ping said weakly.
"Alright, Mr. Zheng was just a little agitated. Mr. Zheng, his injuries are serious. Please step in and help him for a moment so everyone can calm down," said Vice Minister Wang of the Ministry of Education.
While it appears to be a reconciliation, it actually leans towards Fang Ping, since Wuhan University is under the Ministry of Education.
Zhou Dingguo looked at Fang Ping and said, "Let's stabilize his injuries first."
The other grandmasters also asked Zheng Minghong to help, as he was the only one among those present who possessed indestructible matter. Zhou Dingguo had not yet fully recovered from his injuries sustained in the recent battle in Nanjiang.
Zheng Minghong's face darkened upon seeing this. He hadn't actually intended to kill Fang Ping; his purpose was simply to intimidate him and gain the power of an eighth-rank official to suppress a fifth-rank one—that was perfectly normal. However, he shouldn't have set his sights on Fang Ping.
Who is Fang Ping? He's the kind of person who harms others without benefiting himself, and now he's been tricked. If he hadn't used the immortal matter, Fang Ping might have gotten increasingly heavy and died here. But while Zheng Minghong was still struggling with this decision,
The next moment, Fang Ping's golden light suddenly dimmed, and he collapsed to the ground, his internal organs beginning to rupture.
The expressions of the grandmasters changed drastically.
This is truly a critical injury, he might die at any moment.
"Save him quickly! I don't have any indestructible matter. If Fang Ping dies here today, I'll risk my life to kill you!" Li Changsheng roared at Zheng Minghong.
"Why does Master Zheng have to push people to the brink? Although my foundation is a bit unstable, I can still take one or two eighth-rank cultivators with me after I break through to the eighth rank," Lu Hao said calmly.
Although he did not name names, everyone present could tell who he was referring to.
Zheng Minghong glanced at Li Changsheng, then at Lu Hao, his face contorted with struggle. He had truly forgotten to check the almanac this time.
If they don't intervene now, Fang Ping will die. If Fang Ping dies, all ten Grandmasters present will be witnesses. Lu Hao doesn't know the situation, but Li Changsheng was saved by Fang Ping. If Fang Ping really dies, there's a high chance he'll trade one life for Li Changsheng.
The next moment, Zheng Minghong, with a dark face, walked silently to Fang Ping's side, his hand radiating golden light as it surged towards Fang Ping.
Upon sensing Zheng Minghong's immortal substance, Fang Ping quickly used it to heal his injuries.
Just as Fang Ping's condition improved and Zheng Minghong was about to withdraw, Fang Ping's internal organs ruptured again. Zheng Minghong instantly understood what was happening; he had been schemed against by a fifth-rank official for so many years.
"Okay, okay, okay"
Zheng Minghong said in a deep voice.
Fang Ping's injuries did indeed heal quickly at first with the input of the immortal substance, but the next moment he stopped healing and stored all the absorbed immortal substance in his bones. To others, it appeared that Fang Ping's injuries had not healed and were even worsening.
Even if Zheng Minghong wanted to withdraw now, it would be difficult.
Li Changsheng was keeping a close eye on him, ready to strike down with the Changsheng Sword if anything happened to him.
