Long San was a martial artist expert who had achieved the Earth Boundary Rank. This palm strike used 80% of his total strength. In his opinion, it was sufficient to cause Cheng Yu to vomit blood and receive grave injuries.
When he saw that Cheng Yu did not escape or dodge, but punched out a fist to meet his palm strike, Long San scorned him. Long San’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he increased his palm strike by another 20% of his strength.
Just as Long San’s palm was around two inches away from Cheng Yu’s fist, Long San suddenly felt a strong force colliding into his palm as his body was attacked. Long San’s complexion changed. Bam! He was sent flying by Cheng Yu’s strike as he landed 10 meters away. Long San’s complexion turned ghastly pale as he vomited blood.
Heaven Rank?! The other two dragon generals standing at the side were overwhelmed with shock. If they did not misinterpret what they had just seen, was that not internal energy? Furthermore, it was already at the level of emitting out of the body? Wasn’t this the legendary Heaven Rank late stage expert?
Their legs started to shiver, and they no longer dared to step forward. Originally, they felt Cheng Yu was just a bit strong, and they were still able to cause him to surrender, but they now only felt fear and adoration.
From what they knew, martial artists were separated into different ranks. Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow. Heaven Rank was the highest and Yellow Rank was the lowest. Yellow Rank was usually classified as martial artists that just entered the martial arts world. Normally, they would be able to handle one or two commoners. For those Yellow Rank who were a bit more powerful, they would be able to handle up to five people at most.
The Black Rank was somewhat more powerful. They would be able to handle up to ten people without a problem. Even if their opponents were Yellow Rank experts, they would be able to handle five of them.
When it came to the Earth Rank, they could be called powerful because they possessed internal strength. It was sufficient for them to handle ten Black Rank experts. It was because of this that the trio were able to become Qinglong Hall’s generals. As for the other three halls, they also had a few Earth Rank experts. Only the Black Tortoise Hall had a half-step Heaven Rank expert.
The difference between Heaven Rank and Earth Rank was that Heaven Rank experts possessed internal energy. Their internal energy was a lot more ferocious compared to internal strength. Internal strength could only be used in two different ways, fist or palm strike. However, internal energy originates from the body’s Qi and could be used on any part of the body. It can be used to injure a person or guard their own body.
However, there were different stages in Heaven Rank. During the initial stage and middle stage, the internal energy could only be used within the body. But at the late stage of Heaven Rank, they would be able to release the internal energy outside of their body. It was said that even bullets would not be able to pierce them.
However, they had never met a Heaven Rank expert. Because, in the whole Azure Bamboo Gang, there were only five Heaven Rank experts, and they were mainly the four hall masters and their head, Zhu Wuming. Besides, the five Heaven Rank experts were only at the initial stage of Heaven Rank.
It was said that Yunhai’s biggest gang, the Dark Justice Gang, had a head and guest elder who were both in middle stage of Heaven Rank. Because of this, no matter how powerful the Azure Bamboo Gang was, they were unable to shake the position of Dark Justice Gang.
As for those Heaven Rank experts who were able to emit internal energy outside of their body, they had always been legends to them. They had never once mentioned or seen such a person before.
However, what the duo did not expect was that this nonchalant kid in front of them now was actually a legendary Heaven Rank late stage expert!
The difference between them was like heaven and earth, and not something that could be made up by having more people. Besides, the only people left that were able to fight were the duo.
Such a formidable person, Long Er and Long Si could only adore him. Where could they find the guts to even make a move on him? Both of their legs were already shivering to the point of them not knowing what to do anymore. Should they kneel down and worship him or should they retreat and escape? Both of the ideas did not seem feasible.
“What are you both doing? Are we still fighting? If we are not fighting, quickly bring them to see a doctor. Is not early anymore, good night everyone,” Cheng Yu saw they were stunned and not moving, so he asked them impatiently. He casually bid them goodbye and drove off.
“Aiya!” When they heard the miserable shriek from those lying on the floor, they finally sobered up. They wiped the cold sweat on their forehead. It was fortunate that the other party actually had a good temper and did not make a move on them. Otherwise, they would most likely become like Long San.
The duo moved everyone into the van and drove their cars back.

Yunhai Meng Family. Meng Zhiyuan was welcoming two old men in a majestic way. The two guests seemed to have an aura that had hints of grandeur and immortality.
The two old men were the secular Kunlun elders, Elder Yun and Elder Feng. The reason they were here was because they were finding a new family to foster and the Meng Family was the second largest medical herb supplier in Yunhai. Without a doubt, they were the ideal target.
“The two old misters are?” Meng Zhiyuan had no idea who these two people were, but from their aura, he could tell that they were not ordinary people. Meng Zhiyuan was puzzled, but he still welcomed them very politely.
“Mr. Meng, do you know who the Lan Family relied on to get to where they are today?” Elder Yun said nonchalantly as he drank a sip of his tea and placed the teacup back on the tea table gently.
“Lan family? Could it be you?” Meng Zhiyuan paused and said excitedly.
Previously, during Lan Jinsong’s birthday celebration, Meng Zhiyuan was also present. At that time, Meng Zhiyuan was able witness what happened during the celebrations distinctly. Although he had no idea who was the backing of the Lan Family, he still knew that they were definitely not some simple characters.
During the celebration, when the Lan family had gotten into a quarrel with their supporter, Meng Zhiyuan was extremely delighted. Meng Zhiyuan did not expect the supporter of Lan family would actually come over and find them so quickly. This caused him to be extremely enthusiastic.
“That’s right. The Lan Family’s accomplishments were due to us. All these years, you must have definitely suffered in their hands, right?” Elder Yun laughed.
“Haha! Indeed.”
“We are very displeased by how ungrateful the Lan family was. Now, we are giving you a opportunity. We can help you become the biggest medical ingredient supplier in Yunhai, are you willing to cooperate with us?”
“If we are able to trample the Lan Family and get back the position we held dozens of years ago, of course I am willing. I wonder how we are going collaborate?”
“We will help you to get back 80% of the medical ingredient market and also give you the best farming techniques. To that extent, we will help you to mess with the Lan family.”
“How much would I have to pay then?” Meng Zhiyuan was extremely delighted by the news. He endured the happiness in his heart and asked to sate his curiosity.
“Every year, you have to give us 30% of the medical herbs you grow and also 60% of the profits you earn from selling them,” Elder Yun said indifferently.
“This…” Meng Zhiyuan hesitated. After deducting 30% of the medical herb and also 60% of the profits, how much would be left for him? D*mn! It was not surprising that the Lan Family would actually fall out with you. This is such a scam!
“Does Mr. Meng have any opinions? There’s no harm voicing them out. We can always negotiate.”
“For the two misters to choose me, it’s my honor. But to put it bluntly, the terms you have put forth are too harsh. It’s impossible for me to accept it,” Although Meng Zhiyuan had no idea what the backing of the two old men was, he still felt that he should be frank with them.
“Oh? Then may I know Mr. Meng’s opinion? What terms will be appropriate in order for us to cooperate?” Elder Yun was not angry and said with a light smile.
“At most, I can give you is 10% medical herb and 30% of the profits,” Meng Zhiyuan clenched his teeth and said. Since they were discussing the terms, he must be ruthless. Presently, the only family who would be able to oppose the Lan family was them. It was impossible for them to find a family that had a weak capability.
The two elders wrinkled their eyebrows while Meng Zhiyuan tightened his heart.
“Impossible. The medical herb given to us can’t be too little. It have to be 30% and we can lower the profits given to us to 50%. You have to know that you will be getting the majority of the market, and we will also be giving you farming technology. The remaining 50% profits will definitely be more than what you are earning now,” Elder Yun said gloomily.
D*mn! $10,000 and you are getting $3,000. For the remaining $7,000, I still need to split half of it with you. After all this, the amount I will be left will only be $3,500. Furthermore, I still need to pay for all the expenses during the year. It would be as if I am giving you 65% of my earnings for free. Do you take me as an idiot?
“Sorry. I can only choose not to cooperate then,” Meng Zhiyuan no longer cared about how strong their backing was.
Bam! Elder Feng, who had been silent, slammed his hand on the tea table. CRACK! The tea table was split into pieces. Elder Feng looked gloomily at Meng Zhiyuan and said, ”Are you threatening us?”
F*ck your mother! Who was threatening who? Although Meng Zhiyuan was very frustrated, he did not dare to express it. When he saw the after effect of the slam, Meng Zhiyuan’s heart shuddered. These two old men were not simple.
