Chapter 498 Mr. Lu's Journey of Atonement
The next day.
Lu Chengwen's heart was in turmoil.
As expected, Chen Sanjin and Chen Sandun, again with excellent results, defeated their respective opponents.
Everyone discussed animatedly.
All the famous, powerful seed contestants before the match, unexpectedly ended up as defeated opponents of the three Chen brothers.
Old Master Zhang was so happy, couldn't close his mouth.
Everyone gathered here. After several days of intense competition, today was the final day to unveil the mystery.
What everyone was most interested in was knowing who the Zhang family would finally choose as their son-in-law.
And to know what the Zhang family's eldest young miss actually looked like!
Lu Chengwen walked onto the ring, looking at Sun Ze.
Sun Ze looked somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head: "Brother Sanliang, didn't expect it, haha."
Lu Chengwen smiled slightly: "I expected it."
"Hmm?"
Lu Chengwen said: "From the first day, you were very active, gathering intelligence everywhere, selling intelligence. On the surface, you're an information dealer interspersing between various families and sects, but actually, you wanted to take the opportunity to do two things."
"First, you wanted to numb everyone, make them think you're an outsider, not interested in the final result."
"Second, you wanted to control the entire competition's progress with abundant intelligence. Selling my intelligence everywhere, you hoped I would be eliminated from the beginning, and even more hoped my two younger brothers would meet in the same match, so one could be internally consumed."
Sun Ze's lackadaisical appearance vanished.
He suddenly stood up straight, his expression calm: "I knew I couldn't fool you."
Lu Chengwen said: "You can't fool anyone. Old Master Zhang definitely knows your situation like the back of his hand. What you're doing, he sees very clearly."
"So, he should know how dedicated I am. I am qualified to be the Zhang family's outstanding son-in-law."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "No problem in all aspects."
"Many thanks."
"Only one shortcoming."
"What?"
"You're too ugly."
After Lu Chengwen finished speaking, he turned his head away and dry-heaved for a long time.
The people around all laughed.
Sun Ze's expression was already somewhat displeased.
"What? Is this your style? Attacking others based on their appearance?"
"But there's no one as untidy as you, big shot!"
Lu Chengwen said: "At least look somewhat human!"
"Chen Sanjin (error, should be Sanliang), less nonsense, the last spot, watch out."
After Sun Ze finished speaking, he rushed forward with an arrow step. Lu Chengwen quickly gathered his qi to respond.
In one breath, the two exchanged over a dozen moves, surprisingly evenly matched.
Everyone in the audience gasped!
Not surprised by how formidable they were, but these two... seemed to have only shown their true strength today!
Sun Ze, a guy usually grinning cheekily, slyly maneuvering, now his eyes were bright, expression grave.
His thin body, yet he executed a set of extremely fierce and powerful fist techniques!
Everyone felt that Sun Ze at this moment definitely didn't look like he was 1.72 meters; he seemed to have the aura of a full 1.85 meters!
Extremely domineering!
And Lu Chengwen,也就是 (ye jiu shi - that is/namely) everyone's serious Chen Sanliang...
Also completely exceeded everyone's expectations!
He was completely not on the same level as Chen Sanjin and Chen Sandun.
The scene completely exploded!
Chen Sanliang and Sun Ze fought exceptionally heatedly. The two had no nonsense, just attack, defense, defense and attack!
Old Master Zhang put on a straight face: "Indeed, Chen Sanliang only has the strength of intermediate Shangsimen. Everything before was just bluffing."
Zhang Jiucheng was puzzled: "Then... Li Chengze and Zhan Bo were completely fooled by him?"
The Old Master sneered coldly: "Not necessarily. Maybe there was some deal behind the scenes, or perhaps... someone was threatening them."
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation!
They felt they had been tricked by Chen Sanliang.
This guy, pretending to be mysterious and unfathomable, actually only had these few moves!
What the hell!?
Isn't this too different from Chen Sanjin and Chen Sandun?
A feeling of being fooled, being played with, made everyone unhappy.
"Go Sunzi (Grandson - also a pun on Sun Ze's name)! Beat Chen Sanliang to death!"
"Sunzi go! Kill this swindling guy"
"Good Sunzi! Vent our anger for us!"
Sun Ze turned his head and roared angrily: "My name is Sun Ze!"
Lu Chengwen saw him lose focus, a fist struck: "I must eliminate you!"
Unexpectedly, Sun Ze's speed and reaction were much faster than his. In an instant, he changed his moves, exerted force from his feet, his body twisted at an incredible angle, not only dodging Lu Chengwen's fist but also striking Lu Chengwen's pulse gate directly with a palm!
Pa!
Lu Chengwen felt his entire wrist instantly go numb, knocked away. Immediately after, Sun Ze closed in!
Pa pa pa pa pa...!
A final horizontal fist, bang!, smashed into Lu Chengwen's chest.
Lu Chengwen flew backward, crashed into the safety ropes, and stabilized his figure.
His mouth tasted somewhat salty; he knew he was injured.
Looked up at Sun Ze.
Sun Ze, with a headband , arms spread horizontally, fists clenched, head lowered.
Very cool pose.
Slowly raised his head: "You thought I only had these few moves?"
"You thought I would casually lose focus on the battlefield?"
Sun Ze slowly stood up straight: "Sorry, Brother Sanliang. The so-called full firepower at the beginning was just my probing. Your bottom line, I've already figured it out."
Lu Chengwen rubbed his chest, said smilingly: "Formidable fellow."
Sun Ze nodded: "Thank you for the praise. Brother Sanliang, actually I have a good impression of you, you are a figure. Kung fu is actually also okay. Given time, you will definitely gain some fame in the North Kingdom."
"The Zhang family's Tianmen Dan, I am determined to get it. You are not my opponent. I don't want to hurt you either. You withdraw."
Lu Chengwen rubbed his chest, looked up at the Zhang family's eldest young miss sitting at the highest point, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"If we had faced each other yesterday, I would definitely have listened to your advice. But today, no."
"Why?"
Sun Ze said: "Because you like her?"
Lu Chengwen looked at him: "You really are in intelligence, quite formidable."
Sun Ze smiled: "I knew from the beginning, that woman is the Zhang family's eldest young miss. Not to hide it from you, I originally came for the Tianmen Dan. But after seeing her... I will never love another woman in my life."
"These few days I haven't been able to sleep at night, my mind full of her. Now, even without the Tianmen Dan, I am determined to marry her."
Lu Chengwen looked back at the veiled Zhang family's eldest young miss: "I think he's quite good! Love at first sight for you! Let him advance?"
The entire audience was very surprised!
They discovered in surprise, Chen Sanjin and Sun Ze actually both knew the Zhang family's eldest young miss's background?!
And to make Sun Ze fall in love at first sight, she definitely wouldn't be ugly!
And must be a great beauty!
Everyone's anticipation for the Zhang family's eldest young miss was maxed out!
The Zhang family's eldest young miss also moved at this moment.
These few days, she hadn't moved, motionless. This was her only movement.
Didn't know why, wearing a red wedding dress, veiled, behind a curtain... even so,
as soon as she moved slightly, she gave people a charming feeling of myriad charms, gentle and virtuous, simply soul-stirring.
Perhaps, the more mysterious a woman, the more she can arouse a man's fantasies.
A maidservant brought the four treasures of the study (writing tools). The Zhang family's eldest young miss lightly wrote a few characters, handed them to a butler. The butler ran down, handed them to Lu Chengwen.
On it were just three characters: Begging .
Lu Chengwen helplessly let out a breath, crumpled the note, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Sorry, matters of affection, no one can force. She doesn't like you."
Sun Ze looked at the Zhang family's eldest young miss above, clenched his fists: "Then I can only eliminate you, Brother Sanliang."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "I also must eliminate you here. Ai, make your move."
Sun Ze attacked again, completely different from before.
At the beginning, everyone thought his style was fierce and powerful, but now, his style suddenly became soft, insidious, and bizarre.
Among martial artists, it's rare for someone to span multiple fighting styles and approaches.
But Sun Ze did it!
Not only that, initially everyone thought he, like Lu Chengwen, was at intermediate Shangsimen level, even if slightly higher than Lu Chengwen, not by much.
But, at this moment, Sun Ze displayed the level of advanced Shangsimen!
Lu Chengwen was already completely unable to cope!
Frequently hit, beaten unable to retaliate, also suffered many superficial injuries.
Lu Chengwen supported himself on the ground, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, panted, and looked up: "Sun Zei (Sun Thief - pun on his name), you're really formidable."
"It's Sun Ze." Sun Ze said calmly.
"All the same."
Sun Ze smiled: "This pun, afraid it won't pass."
Lu Chengwen stood up: "Continue."
Sun Ze looked at him: "Brother Sanliang, you know, you are not my opponent. The reason you can still stand here now is because I haven't struck hard."
"I know." Lu Chengwen closed his eyes: "I..."
Looked up, looked at Sun Ze, Lu Chengwen said:
"I once wronged a girl."
"Because I was young then, ignorant, family conditions good, liked to fool around. Felt the whole world was in my grasp, everyone in the world I could casually tease. Caused trouble, always someone to clean it up."
"I left a shadow in her childhood."
Lu Chengwen smiled bitterly: "Even after growing up, I still felt it was nothing. But thinking about it later... I was quite inhuman."
"I owe her a lot in this lifetime. Eliminating you here might be the only thing I can do for her."
"The debts I owe must be repaid."
"Eliminating you can at least make up for the regret in my heart."
Everyone understood, this was about the Zhang family's eldest young miss.
Old Master Zhang was very puzzled, asked Zhang Jiucheng: "Is the Chen family very close to our branch family? Did the Chen children have much contact with the branch family when young?"
Zhang Jiucheng said: "I'm not clear either, this needs to be asked of Shen'er later."
Sun Ze said gloomily: "You have your regrets and debts, I also have my reasons why I must win. Brother Sanliang, next, it won't be child's play."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Bring it on."
Sun Ze's eyes widened in anger, shouted loudly: "Watch out!"
Whoosh—!
Lu Chengwen was somewhat flustered in shock, because he and everyone else discovered in an instant, Sun Ze was a master at the peak Shangsimen level!
