Chapter 289: Threat in the Elevator (Update 2)

"You… you cannot kill us. Our Old Ancestor is also a Cultivator. If you kill us or cripple our Martial Arts, my Old Ancestor will come to kill you, and you will all be dead. If you can let us go this time, the feud between our Kuroda Family and you will be written off."

Kuroda Taro neither wanted to die nor wanted his Martial Arts crippled. This guy was still indulging in wishful thinking, threatening Xiao Xi.

"Is that so? Then I would like to see what kind of cultivation level your Old Ancestor has," Xiao Xi said. "I am the type of person who is least susceptible to threats. You threatening me is really threatening the right person."

After speaking, Xiao Xi's jade fingers flicked rapidly through the air, tapping Kuroda Taro, Kuroda Kimura, and Kuroda Tuoji several times.

"Ah! Ah!"

Kuroda Taro and the others screamed, because Xiao Xi had released her True Qi, and the True Qi on her fingers had forcibly penetrated their bodies, destroying their Meridians.

The process of having one's Meridians destroyed was extremely painful. This kind of pain was not something just anyone could endure. Although Kuroda Taro and the others were people with strong minds, they still screamed to the heavens in agony.

In just an instant, the Meridians of all three were completely severed. Like Kuroda Toshio, they became cripples. Previously, they had wanted to take revenge for Kuroda Toshio, but they hadn't expected that their own fate would be the same as his.

"Now you can get lost."

After doing all this, Xiao Xi said indifferently. From now on, Kuroda Taro and the other two were useless. The technique she used to cripple Kuroda Taro and the others was much more sophisticated than the technique Poison Venerable used to cripple Kuroda Toshio. Kuroda Toshio might still have a chance to recover under the treatment of "Kuroda Shinbu," but Kuroda Taro and the others likely had no hope of recovery.

Because to make them recover, one would need at least a master at the Golden Core Stage. Masters at the Golden Core Stage were rare in the world, and even in China, they were extremely scarce, let alone in that tiny island nation. In the island nation, having a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage was already Heaven-Defying. After all, the island nation's Martial Arts and cultivation were all just learning the basics from China, and they could not be mentioned in the same breath as Chinese masters.

"You all remember this. One day, we will make you pay back this debt a thousand, a hundred times over."

Kuroda Taro used a great deal of effort to stand up from the ground. The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Xi was full of venomous resentment. In reality, they didn't have much confidence in getting revenge. They couldn't be sure if their Old Ancestor "Kuroda Shinbu" would be a match for Xiao Xi, not to mention that there was still Zhou Lang behind Xiao Xi.

But if they just left like this, they felt they would lose too much Face, so they had to say a few harsh words. In reality, threatening others was usually the behavior of the weak.

"As long as you have the ability to do so, that's fine. I'll say it again: if you act recklessly again next time, I will kill without mercy."

Xiao Xi said coldly. In front of Zhou Lang, she was an obedient woman, but in front of Kuroda Taro and the others, she was undoubtedly a powerful female god of death. Moreover, she had heard Zhou Lang talk about the detestable nature of the island nation people, and her impression of them was already bad, so she would not be polite to the people of the Kuroda Family.

Kuroda Taro was intimidated by Xiao Xi's Aura and dared not say anything more. The three dragged their injured bodies and walked towards the outside of the Villa.

Although their Martial Arts had been crippled, the three of them could still barely walk. Furthermore, at this moment, they did not dare to stay at Zhou Lang's Villa at all, because Xiao Xi might change her mind at any time and kill them.

A few minutes later, Kuroda Taro and the other two finally disappeared from Xiao Xi's sight.

"It's safe now, everyone go back to sleep," Xiao Xi said with a smile. She knew that when she had easily defeated Kuroda Taro and the others earlier, she had frightened Li Mengxue and the others.

"Miss Zhou, thank you for saving my life. Previously, I didn't know you were so powerful. I hope you won't take offense."

Poison Venerable said quickly. If Xiao Xi hadn't intervened earlier, he most likely would have been seriously injured by Kuroda Kimura, or even killed. Therefore, saying that Xiao Xi saved his life was not an exaggeration.

"Poison Venerable, those who don't know are not to be blamed. Besides, we are our own people, there's no need to be so polite. If it weren't for tempering your skills and letting you gain experience fighting against a master at the Peak of the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, I would have taken action directly earlier. Although you were defeated tonight, I believe you must have gained a lot. As long as you carefully analyze the reasons for your failure and strive to catch up, it will take a few months at the fastest, or a few years at the longest, and you will definitely be able to surpass the cultivation level of Kuroda Taro and the others."

Xiao Xi smiled. She was still the same as she had always been in front of everyone, without the slightest change.

However, now that everyone knew her strength, the way they looked at her was different. Especially those who understood Martial Arts, such as Poison Venerable, Yamamoto Yuki, Muto Yukiko, Ivanova, and Zhao Xiaorou, they regarded Xiao Xi's words even more as guidance for their Martial Arts, and thus kept them firmly in their hearts.

Xiao Xi saying this made Poison Venerable feel even more moved. He nodded and secretly swore in his heart that he must improve his cultivation level as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass his master, Zhou Lang, in the future.

"Xiao Xi, you are truly too powerful. We never expected it. It's good that you don't take offense," Li Mengxue said with a hint of apology. Ivanova and the others also felt a little embarrassed.

"I have never taken action before, so it is normal that everyone didn't believe in my strength. I won't blame everyone. We still have to attend the auction tomorrow, so let's get some rest early."

Xiao Xi smiled slightly.

"Xiao Xi, compared to Brother Lang, whose cultivation level is actually higher?"

Ivanova asked curiously. She and Zhao Xiaorou were competing against each other, so of course, she hoped to win over Xiao Xi. If she improved her relationship with Xiao Xi, she could pester Xiao Xi to teach her Martial Arts, and her Martial Arts would improve faster.

"About the same, perhaps Brother Lang is a bit stronger."

Xiao Xi said. Although she was much stronger than Zhou Lang, she would not speak carelessly.

"Can you teach me Martial Arts in the future? I also want to be as powerful as you," Ivanova said.

"Of course you can. If everyone wants to learn, I can teach. My Cultivation Technique system and Martial Arts system are the same as Brother Lang's," Xiao Xi said.

She was very intelligent and had long since heard Ivanova's intention to win her over, but she appeared to treat Ivanova, Li Mengxue, and Zhao Xiaorou equally.

…

The next day, the vacant lot opposite the Lovers Bar was auctioned at the auction company as scheduled.

This piece of land was located in the city center and had high commercial value.

Originally, many people participated in the bidding, and the industry believed that the price of this land would be driven very high. But strangely, when it came time for the auction, only two companies were competing.

These two companies were Iga Real Estate Company and Dacheng Real Estate Company.

Iga Real Estate Company was a company under Yamamoto Yuki's name, and it actually represented Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue. As for the boss of Dacheng Real Estate Company, it was Wang Dacheng, who had been extorted by Zhou Lang several times.

In the past, Wang Dacheng felt heartbroken about being extorted out of tens of millions by Zhou Lang, but now he didn't think that way anymore. Because he was also a well-informed person, he knew very well how much power Jin Kelai, Jin Shengshui, and Deputy Director Wen Heping had. But precisely because Jin Kelai had a conflict with Zhou Lang, they were all sent to prison and sentenced to life imprisonment. From this point of view, Zhou Lang was a figure with a Heaven-Defying background who could cover the sky with one hand, and he dared not provoke Zhou Lang again.

For this auction, Wang Dacheng was full of confidence because he knew that other real estate companies had been forced to withdraw due to his influence. As for the Iga Real Estate Company from the provincial capital, he did not take it seriously. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon does not suppress a local snake. He believed that the people from Iga Real Estate Company would also be afraid after learning that more than a dozen real estate companies had been forced by him to withdraw, and they would not dare to compete with him during the auction.

At 9:00 AM, the auction began. At 8:30 AM, the people from Iga Real Estate Company and Dacheng Real Estate Company headed to the auction company.

Li Mengxue and the others did not show up; Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko attended the auction.

When the two of them entered the elevator, they happened to meet Wang Dacheng and his female assistant.

Like his son Wang Zheng, Wang Dacheng loved beautiful women, and his private life was very chaotic. He changed his assistants frequently, and they were all young, beautiful, and tall girls.

"The two beauties must be the representatives of Iga Real Estate Company who came to attend the auction. You are truly beautiful."

There were only the four of them in the elevator. Wang Dacheng said with a smile to Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko. He had done some research on Iga Real Estate Company and had long since obtained the information and photos of Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko. Therefore, as soon as Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko appeared, he recognized them.

He was specifically waiting by the elevator, and he took the same elevator as Yamamoto Yuki, of course, wanting to achieve his ulterior motives.

He thought that since Yamamoto Yuki was from the island nation, she certainly had no Foundation in China and would not be able to compete with him, the local snake.

"Thank you for the compliment," Yamamoto Yuki said with a sweet smile. "You look a bit unfamiliar, Your Excellency. How do you know me?"

"I am Wang Dacheng, the boss of Dacheng Real Estate Company," Wang Dacheng said with a smile.

"So it's Boss Wang. I've heard much about you." Yamamoto Yuki knew what Wang Dacheng wanted to do, but she pretended not to know.

"Miss Yamamoto Yuki, you may not be aware, but we are the only competitors today." Seeing that Yamamoto Yuki actually didn't know him, Wang Dacheng said with a fake smile.

"Aren't there many companies participating in the auction? It seems Boss Wang is determined to win and is very confident," Yamamoto Yuki said deliberately.

"I have quite a bad reputation in Feiyun City. Once there is something I want to obtain, I will use unscrupulous means to get it. Therefore, when the other dozen or so companies learned that I was also participating in the auction, they all withdrew one by one. Now there are only two of us left."

Wang Dacheng threatened.

While the two were talking, the elevator had already arrived at the eighth floor, where the auction was being held.

"Boss Wang, you are telling me to also withdraw from the auction, right?" Yamamoto Yuki was still smiling brightly.

"Miss Yamamoto is not only beautiful but also very smart," Wang Dacheng said arrogantly. "If you can withdraw from the bidding during the official auction and help me get this land, I, Wang, will certainly reward you heavily."

"What if I don't withdraw?"

Yamamoto Yuki's Face still carried a smile; one could not tell at all what she was thinking in her heart.

"If you don't withdraw, I can guarantee that you won't see tomorrow's sun," Wang Dacheng said with a sinister smile.

"Boss Wang, you really are addicted to threatening people. I am a weak woman, and my courage is very small. I will make a call to my master about this matter; you can tell my master directly."

Yamamoto Yuki said.

"Who is your master?" Wang Dacheng asked after a pause.

"His name is Zhou Lang, known as Brother Lang," Yamamoto Yuki said.

"What? It's Brother Lang?"

Wang Dacheng's Face changed drastically. He was afraid of avoiding a jinx like Zhou Lang, so how did he provoke him again this time? His heart turned cold, and he began to feel afraid.
