Due to being busy with the battle against Huangfu Yan recently, Zhang Fusheng had not had the chance to pay attention to Jian Xiaoqing. At this moment, seeing Jian Xiaoqing suddenly appear before him in such a manner left Zhang Fusheng astonished. Huangfu Yan noticed Zhang Fusheng's reaction, chuckled, and said, "Damn it, I didn't expect that even the dragon couldn't handle you. Luckily, I have a backup plan!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Yan pointed to a nearby Ganzhou Soldier and commanded, "You, shoot him!"
The soldier trembled and hesitated to pull the trigger. Who was Zhang Fusheng? Even if he shot Zhang Fusheng in the head, it was uncertain whether it would kill him. Yet, Zhang Fusheng could easily take his life with just a finger. Zhang Fusheng remained silent and motionless, simply staring at the soldier. Under the weight of Zhang Fusheng's gaze, the soldier finally crumbled under the immense pressure, letting his gun fall to the ground.
"Damn useless trash." Huangfu Yan kicked the soldier and then grabbed a Submachine Gun from another person. He said, "Zhang Fusheng, I know you're fast, but can you be faster than him pulling the trigger? If you want to try, I won’t say much! If you think you're not faster than him, then you should cripple yourself. At that point, if you become a useless person who poses no threat to me, I'll naturally let you and Jian Xiaoqing go!"
Zhang Fusheng stood still, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought. Wang Chao lay nearby and listened intently. In fact, given Zhang Fusheng's speed, it was possible for him to save Jian Xiaoqing in that instant when the soldier fired. However, it was clear that Zhang Fusheng did not intend to do so. Wang Chao was unaware of how Zhang Fusheng and Jian Xiaoqing had met or how their relationship had developed, but he knew that if there was even a hint of danger to Jian Xiaoqing, Zhang Fusheng would never take that risk!
Zhang Fusheng valued emotions above all else; he had previously risked everything to save Wang Chao. Now it seemed likely that he might sacrifice all his power for Jian Xiaoqing and become a crippled man forever. As Zhang Fusheng pondered this dilemma, Wang Chao felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. He could not accept the idea of Zhang Fusheng becoming a cripple. Damn it! How did Huangfu Yan manage to capture Jian Xiaoqing?
The most critical question was how he knew that Jian Xiaoqing was Zhang Fusheng's girlfriend? When they heard Old Zhang's last words, how many people knew about Jian Xiaoqing's identity? Just himself, Wu Wan'er, Elder Wu, Zhang Fusheng, and Shen Zhiying—was it possible that someone outside had overheard? But that couldn’t be; if they lacked such basic precautions, Old Zhang would have died a hundred years ago.
If that were the case, then only one person could be suspected!
At this moment, Zhang Fusheng made his move! With one palm strike, all of his meridians would shatter, rendering him a person unable to care for himself in life!
"Wait!" Wang Chao dragged his body forward and shouted loudly. "That old fox Huangfu Yan may have become cunning as a human spirit, but he absolutely wouldn’t know something that no one has ever mentioned. Just like there must be a source for every rumor—only a few of us know about Jian Xiaoqing. If this information came from Elder Wu, Wan'er or Shen Zhiying, I wouldn’t believe it even if you killed me!"
"Then there’s only one person left: Jian Xiaoqing herself. She is the spy in the Imperial Capital; only she could hear your conversation during the battle without drawing anyone’s attention!"
Wang Chao spoke rapidly. If Jian Xiaoqing were indeed a spy, everything would make sense—the collapse of the Imperial Capital Safe Zone from within, Old Zhang's death news, Zhang Fusheng's movements, and even the location of the command center. If this were true from the beginning, then Jian Xiaoqing had come to deceive Zhang Fusheng; their acquaintance and romance were all part of her elaborate scheme!
Zhang Fusheng's movements clearly faltered, and the heavy stone in Wang Chao's heart finally fell to the ground. With this, no one in the Safe Zone could rival Zhang Fusheng. Even if there were thousands here, taking Huangfu Yan's life would be as easy as reaching into a bag. Zhang Fusheng's hand slowly descended as he glanced at Huangfu Yan and then at Jian Xiaoqing.
Jian Xiaoqing, tears streaming down her face, said, "It's not me! I'm not a spy! I know Wang Chao is saying this for your own good, and I hope you won't care about me. But before I die, I must tell you that I am definitely not a spy. You must kill Huangfu Yan for my revenge!" As she spoke, Jian Xiaoqing struggled to throw herself against a pillar of the platform but was held back by the soldiers. Even in her attempt to commit suicide, she found herself unable to do so.
At that moment, Jian Xiaoqing's face was drenched in tears, her hair disheveled, devoid of any beauty. Anyone who looked at her would feel a pang of pity.
Zhang Fusheng slowly addressed Huangfu Yan, his voice low yet audible to those around them. "Huangfu Yan, there are tens of thousands of people surrounding us. My words will be heard by countless ears. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, if you still consider yourself a man, then swear to heaven and to these thousands of people that if I self-destruct my own power, you will release Jian Xiaoqing and Wang Chao! Furthermore, I have no other demands!"
"Even if you kill me, I will not hesitate!" Zhang Fusheng stated each word deliberately.
"Haha!" Huangfu Yan nodded heavily and replied, "I, Huangfu Yan, am a soldier. When has a soldier ever gone back on his word? As the saying goes, a gentleman’s word is like a swift horse’s gallop. I swear to heaven that as long as you self-destruct your martial arts, I will let you go along with Jian Xiaoqing and Wang Chao. If I go back on this promise, may I die an untimely death!"
"Good!" Zhang Fusheng said. "Tens of thousands have heard your words! I hope you will keep your promise!"
As he spoke, Zhang Fusheng raised his hand once more.
At that moment, Wang Chao could no longer bear it. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Damn it! Zhang Fusheng! Are you out of your mind? At this point, can’t you see what's happening? That Jian Xiaoqing has been approaching you from the very beginning for today! Your first meeting, your first hand-holding, your first kiss—hell, even your first time in bed—were all for the purpose of killing you today!"
"No! I truly care for you!" Jian Xiaoqing shouted back.
Zhang Fusheng smiled at Wang Chao and said, "Sorry, Wang Chao. After I self-destruct my martial arts, Huangfu Yan won't make things difficult for us anymore. Tens of thousands have heard this; I believe he won't go back on his word. Otherwise, even if he kills me, he cannot erase the dignity and conscience of countless people here!"
