"Anywhere Domain!"
As the dragon's breath struck, Ning Haocang's companions also stepped in to help him block the attack.
"Wow—"
Subsequently, Ning Haocang's figure was engulfed by the dragon flames, and the ice talisman was temporarily obscured by the steam from the burning talisman, making it impossible to see whether Ning Haocang was alive or dead.
"Oops, I hit too hard! I hope I'm not dead."
Wei Jiaxing covered his neck, put his hand on the table behind him, and hurriedly picked up some medicine and gulped it down.
His bloodline hadn't been fully activated yet, so it was still too much of a stretch for him to unleash dragon breath with a human voice.
------
To avoid you accusing me of cutting off the chapter, I'll just tell you directly that Ning Haocang didn't die. How could the protagonist act cool if he did?
Chapter 210 Where does the invincibility time come from when charging up and transforming?
"Cough cough, I almost choked to death, glug glug... Ha, damn it, so weak, Dad and Mom are probably going to hang me from a tree and beat me now, glug glug..."
Wei Jiaxing chugged the drink on the table while feeling depressed.
On his engagement day, he killed someone at his own wedding banquet. Although the person was a fool who came to steal the bride, it was still murder.
What bad luck!
"Ugh... I'm not dead yet, you bastard! You actually wanted to kill me? Well then, try to take this attack! If you can't, then die!"
"Xingyiquan - Human Form - Slaying Beasts!"
Xingyiquan was originally called Xinyi Liuhequan, which means the mind and intention are in harmony, intention and qi are in harmony, qi and strength are in harmony, shoulders and hips are in harmony, elbows and knees are in harmony, and hands and feet are in harmony. Among them, the practical combat techniques were created by imitating the movement characteristics of animals.
However, there is a creature called the terrifying upright ape.
They started out weak, then grew strong, and finally reached a terrifying level.
Their history of growth is built upon the countless corpses of various kinds of plants and animals. They eat everything from the sky to the ground, from those that walk on land to those that swim in the sea. Their brutality is even more savage than that of wild beasts, yet they possess unparalleled wisdom and intelligence, which allows them to stand firmly at the top of the food chain.
Countless animals and plants were wiped out by them, completely disappearing from this world.
Their scientific name is—
Humanity!
Although it's strange that Xingyiquan, a martial art that specifically imitates animals, has a human-shaped punch, it's undeniable that this move is extremely powerful. Moreover, because of the human form, it's particularly easy for humans to practice. However, once this move has been used, practicing other animal-shaped Xingyiquan styles becomes much less effective, so very few people use this move.
Many martial artists were curious about this phenomenon, and some even sought help from Taoist priests to analyze the reasons behind it. After a long discussion, they came to a conclusion.
The reason why other animal-shaped Xingyi Quan styles become more laborious is because they are driven by fear.
Fear of humans.
Over the long course of history, human ancestors hunted these animals relentlessly. Ancient cultivators skinned, boned, and had their tendons extracted to refine their souls, resulting in a deep-seated fear of humans being etched into their genes and passed down from generation to generation.
Oh my god, it's a terrifying upright ape! Brothers, run! ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(; ̄◇ ̄)┘!
These are the first reactions of animals when they saw humans in ancient times.
(This setting is for the novel; please do not take it seriously. Thank you.)
Oh, ancestors, weren't you all a bit too aggressive?
Okay, enough with the explanations for now, let's get back to the main topic—
Danger!
This move is extremely dangerous!
Wei Jiaxing's alarm bells rang immediately. The bloodline of the dragon clan was warning him that this fool who had come to steal the bride could really seriously injure him.
Damn it, it's just an engagement, is it really that big of a deal? If you like Chang Xueyue, why didn't you confess to her earlier and elope? You could have just gone abroad, why did you have to come now?
No matter how frustrated I am, I still have to block this attack. Otherwise, I, the Dragon Vein Warlock, would lose face if I were seriously injured in front of so many people!
Bloodline Spell - Half-Dragon Transformation
Bloodline Spell - Dragon Power
Boots of Leap - Powerful Jump
Wei Jiaxing's skin transformed into dragon scales like blazing flames, the flame-like patterns highlighting his owner's nobility and mystery. His golden vertical pupils constantly exuded an inexplicable majesty, relentlessly pressuring Ning Haocang and his companions in front of him, not seeking to suppress him, but only to distract him for a moment.
He immediately activated the magic on his boots, and with a loud bang, he darted toward Ning Haocang, who was in a fighting stance. His figure, which could only leave a blur on his retina, looked like a real dragon pouncing on a weak prey.
Dodge? Why should I dodge? He's charging up, shouldn't I pounce on him and interrupt his charge? This isn't a game or anime, there's no invincibility window during charging and transformation!
You want to eat shit?!
It must be said that Wei Jiaxing's combat talent is superb. As a dragon vein sorcerer, one generally does not go out to fight before the bloodline has matured. Once you expose yourself as a dragon vein sorcerer, unless your relatives are very powerful and willing to protect you, your fate will either be captured and dissected in various laboratories, or you will be brainwashed into a "sowing machine" and frantically "sow seeds".
Unfortunately, he lacked combat experience. In comparison, Ning Haocang, a martial arts expert, was a veteran of countless battles.
What a pity, my move doesn't require any charging up at all!
You've fallen for my trap! This is exactly the move I was planning, Wei Jiaxing! I've been waiting for you to rush in and get close to me!
A ferocious smile appeared on Ning Haocang's face, and his charging stance immediately transformed into a punching posture, unleashing a dangerous burst of energy!
"Beast Slayer!"
At this moment, Wei Jiaxing, who was rushing over, stared wide-eyed, as if saying, "You're not playing by the rules." He could only assume a defensive stance before taking the hit.
"Snapped--"
"boom--"
-
"Hmm, this coconut juice isn't sweet enough."
Chang Yan took a sip of the freshly poured coconut juice and frowned with some dissatisfaction.
Although not a huge fan of sweets, Chang Yan still prefers desserts and drinks to be a little sweeter.
"Oh dear, he fell for the trick and was taken away. No good, young man, you're still too green. Alright, let's see how my cousin responds to that wedding-crashing guy."
Glancing at Wei Jiaxing, who had been knocked away and was now unconscious and embedded in the wall, Chang Yan looked with some interest at Ning Haocang, who was still standing there panting heavily. Then he looked at Chang Xueyue, who was standing on the stage of the ceremony hall with a complicated expression, wearing a wedding dress, and looked forward to what would happen next.
"Haa, haa, haha, damn it... guy, you still got... knocked away by me... what a weakling, ha... Xueyue, I told you, no one can force you, no one! Also, back in high school, when I saw you sitting alone by the woods, I fell in love with you! That's right, nothing else, I just fell in love with you at first sight!"
"I love you, Chang Xueyue! Please—marry me!"
Ning Haocang swallowed a pill, walked straight to Chang Xueyue, squatted down, and held up a small box.
Inside was a diamond wedding ring.
Chapter 211 All of this was necessary
(My legs hurt so much. Why is losing weight so difficult and arduous... If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have eaten so much fried chicken/cola/pizza/steak/hamburger/barbecue/spicy hot pot chocolate/candy/milk tea. (╥╯^╰╥))
--------
So, will Chang Xueyue accept Ning Haocang's marriage proposal?
Looking at the engagement ring on Ning Haocang's hand, Chang Xueyue's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Old Master Chang stand up expressionlessly, his cane slamming heavily onto the ground with a "thump-thump" sound.
"Young man, and Xiaoyue, stop for a moment. I have a few questions for you, young man."
Seeing that her grandfather had spoken, Chang Xueyue retracted what she was about to say, and Ning Haocang also turned his attention to this old man who looked like he was no ordinary person.
"Young man, your name is Ning Haocang, right?"
"Yes, old man."
Faced with Chang Xueyue's grandfather, Ning Haocang did not dare to be presumptuous and obediently replied to him.
"Hmm. The boxing style you've learned is Xingyi Quan, right? I'm guessing your master is Old Man Xu, right?"
"Old man, do you know my master?"
Ning Haocang was somewhat surprised because his master's surname was Xu.
"Yeah, of course. I fought with him a few times back then and took some risks. You could say we were old rivals... Hmm? Don't worry, I don't have any major grudges against him. On the contrary, we get along quite well. By the way, I couldn't beat him at first, but later on I was the one who crushed him."
"...Ha, old man, you're really amazing."
After a long pause, Ning Haocang finally managed to utter a dry compliment.
He knew better than anyone how powerful his master was, because to master martial arts, one had to fight. So, in the beginning, he sparred with his master. As for the results... well, too embarrassing to mention.
Ning Haocang dared not be presumptuous with the old man who could hang his master up and beat him.
As for lying... there's no point in lying to a junior, and besides, Chang Wuming's magic previously proved that the family members have extraordinary powers.
"Yeah, of course, if I wasn't good, I would have kicked the bucket long ago."
Whether out of shamelessness or thick skin, Grandpa Chang accepted the compliment with a look that said, "Kid, you're pretty perceptive."
"Ahem, alright, let's continue. You came here to propose to my granddaughter, right?"
Seeing that Old Master Chang had asked the crucial question, Ning Haocang straightened his back and answered firmly:
"Yes, I am truly devoted to Xueyue. Please grant us your blessing, sir."
Grandpa Chang hummed in response, but didn't say anything, and continued to ask:
"I know you're truly in love with Xueyue, otherwise you wouldn't be going to such lengths. Let me ask you first, since you're here to steal the bride, haven't you already prepared your vehicle or plane ticket?"
"Yes, I'm afraid you'll stop me, so I plan to go directly abroad."
"So, you have to face a very real question: Do you have money? Can you give her the life she wants?"
“I have. I went to some boxing matches before, and then I placed bets on myself.”
"So that's how it is. No wonder I heard that the boxing match in the next city was completely canceled because of someone's sabotage. It turns out it was you who did it."
"Haha."
Ning Haocang could only give an awkward smile in response.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but the gang that hosted the boxing match deliberately withheld his money, making him come to them. Unexpectedly, the gang leader was a Gu master who wanted to use Gu to brainwash him and turn him into his henchman.
As a result, his friend saw through their scheme, and a fierce battle ensued. He punched the Gu Master's natal Gu worm to pieces. Then, they simply went all out and beat up the entire gang, robbed them of their money, and ran away. It was really exciting.
"So--"
"So you're the one who came to steal my son's wedding?"
Just as the old man was about to ask his next question, an angry male voice interrupted him loudly, drawing the attention of the onlookers back to him.
Wei Xiuwen, Wei Jiaxing's father, was also the man who single-handedly built up his family business and rapidly developed it into a giant.
“It’s me. Don’t you know what kind of person your son is? You still want to let him harm others?”
Ning Haocang had absolutely no liking for this man, and his tone was utterly impolite.
"Hmph, I know my son very well, but you should be careful. This engagement was initiated by the Chang family."
"What! This—"
Ning Haocang turned his head in shock to look at the old man, wanting to ask about the truth behind his words, but he only saw the old man calmly nod.
"That's right, I was the one who approached Xiao Wei."
"—Why, so why does the Chang family need a marriage alliance? Isn't the Chang family a local tycoon?"
Ning Haocang asked the question that the onlookers most wanted to ask but dared not.
The Chang family's businesses are doing well, nothing has happened at home, and no one is deliberately causing trouble. Why would they suddenly form a marriage alliance with the Wei family? The Chang family used to be very supportive of free love.
"Why? You, as an outsider, shouldn't ask. This is an internal matter for the Chang family. Besides, as childhood sweethearts who grew up together, we have a certain foundation of affection."
The old master of the Chang family said the above words very calmly, but the calmer he was, the angrier Ning Haocang became, his hands clenched into fists, and the fists tightened more and more.
"Are you just going to ignore Xueyue's feelings like this?!"
"Although I don't want to, all of this is necessary."
The old man spoke calmly as always, but this one sentence completely ignited Ning Haocang's anger.
