C17 Pickup

Looking at Brother Liang's miserable condition, Zhang Qiang's heart sank. Without saying anything, he rushed out of the yard, but there was no one around.

Sun Youcai also rushed out with a flashlight in his hand. Zhang Qiang didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Master Qiang, where is he?" Sun Youcai asked as he shone his flashlight everywhere.

"He's long gone!" Just as he was about to go back to the yard, a shadow flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Who is it?" Zhang Jing shouted loudly and ran to the side yard with Sun Youcai following closely behind.

But at that moment, in the little courtyard that they were staying in, Qiao Ke's panicked screams suddenly rang out.

"This is bad!" Zhang Qiang's facial expression changed drastically. He ran back to the yard like a madman. He saw an old man and a young man walking out from the house.

And the Gioko was in the young man's hands.

"Release him!" Zhang Jing shouted in anger.

Qiao Ke was his way of repaying Qiao Yong for saving his life and was also his way of alleviating his guilt. Only by protecting her and taking care of her would he be able to face his brothers who had died for him.

Now that old man Qiao was dead, there was only this single child left in the Qiao family. He absolutely could not let anything happen to them.

"Sure, as long as you hand over Master Li's keepsake, I guarantee that I won't harm this girl." With gray hair, a short stature, and an old man as fat as a top, the man said to Zhang Ye with a faint smile.

Zhang Qiang's eyes were bloodshot. He took a step forward and shouted, "I told you to let him go first!"

"Hur hur, youngsters sure are gracious." The old man smiled and said, "It won't be a problem to release him, but you have to hand the item over first."

"I don't believe you!" Zhang Jing said with a cold look in his eyes.

At this time, the young man standing behind and controlling Qiao Ke clicked his tongue twice. He used his hand to pick up the long hair that fell into Qiao Ke's ears, and then lightly blew on it. He said, "Surnamed Zhang, what are you f * cking arrogant for? Don't forget that you're no longer a shadow guard. Killing you is no different from killing an ant. "

"I will cripple your dog paws!" Zhang Jing glared at the young man and said.

"Alright, come. I would like to see what abilities you have. " As the young man spoke, he actually reached out a hand to the plump, protruding buttocks of Choco.

How could he let Qiao Ke suffer such humiliation? He ripped open his own clothes, revealing the fan he had tied on his body. He shouted, "F * ck! If you dare touch her, I will destroy the keepsake! "

"Flawless, wait!" The old man frowned and stopped the young man behind him.

The young man clenched his teeth and said with an evil expression: "Grandfather, he wouldn't dare. This girl is very important to him. "

"Shut up!" The old man glared at him for a moment before he turned around and dragged Qiao Ke to his side.

Then he said to Zhang Qiang, "Young man, I don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you hand over the keepsake of Master Li, I will pass the girl to you in one piece. In addition, I will also give you a Qi Nourishing Pill. "You are already at the peak of the Houtian realm. If you take this Qi Nurturing Pill, you will be able to break through to the Xiantian realm very soon."

"I don't need it! I only want that girl! If you release her, I can give you the keepsake. " Zhang Qiang clenched his fist and said.

"Grandfather, we can't let him go. This Zhang fella is lying to you. " Flawless hurriedly reminded.

The old man turned his head to look at his grandson and shook his head in disappointment. "Flawless, you've committed another mistake."

"Grandfather, I'm not. I just don't want to see you being controlled by this bastard surnamed Zhang …" Wuque shouted loudly.

The old man gave him a deep look, then pushed him out.

However, at this moment, a few people suddenly jumped in. One of them ran towards Qiao Ke.

"Scram!" Zhang Jing shouted and rushed out.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang had pushed his speed to the limit. A shadow flashed, and then two shadows crashed into each other with a loud bang.

When the shadow of his body separated, Zhang Qing was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He staggered a few steps back. However, he held Qiao Ke tightly in his arms.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Jing asked worriedly, afraid that she would be hurt by the previous exchange.

Qiao Ke shook his head and extended his small, white hand to wipe away the blood on the corner of Zhang Li's mouth. "You're bleeding …"

"I'm fine …" Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Qiao Ke immediately cried out in alarm.

At this time, Sun Youcai had found a rolling pin from who knows where. He waved it and rushed over to protect Zhang Jing behind him. "I'll f * cking see who dares to move!"

"Kill him!" Kill him! " In the corner of the yard, a shadow of Zhang Qiang was standing, staring at him and drinking with hatred in his eyes. In front of him was a pool of fresh blood, mixed with pieces of broken blood.

Sou sou sou …

Several people instantly surrounded Zhang Jing and the other two. Suddenly, the old man started to speak, "Zhang Jing and his friend, as long as you give me the items, I can guarantee your safety."

"Old Monster Ye, you want to become enemies with our Huo family?" The person in the corner of the yard held onto the wall with much difficulty and looked at the old man gloomily.

"I'm only interested in Master Li's keepsake." Old Man Ye smiled and said without a care.

"Right now, he belongs to our Huo Family. Whoever dares to interfere will become enemies with our Huo Family!"

"With my Nangong Clan, I want to see who dares to mess around!" A deep sound came from far away, and the scene immediately became silent.

After a short while, a few people appeared in the yard again. Among them was the pair of senior and junior brother and sister whom Zhang Li had seen in Zhao Xueqing's office.

"Senior Nangong, what do you mean by that?" Seeing that the Nangong Clan's elder had appeared, the Huo Clan member's face immediately turned ugly.

"Zhang Qiang is a friend of my Nan Gong Family, whoever dares to offend him will become the enemy of my Nan Gong Family. Huo Ying, you'd better leave with your Huo family. I can take it as if it hadn't happened. " The middle-aged man who had just appeared was called Nangong Wudi. He was one of the four great elders of the Nangong family.

Huo Ying clenched his teeth. In the end, he did not dare to provoke the Nan Gong Family's prestige and left the small courtyard in a huff. However, he did not go far. Instead, he waited nearby.

At this time, there were already more than ten people hiding in this small courtyard. However, their cultivations were only on par with Zhang Qiang, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

Furthermore, now that the Nangong Family's elders had stepped in, they did not dare to participate.

It had to be known that the Nangong Family was one of the top ten ancient martial arts families in China. It was an old family that had existed for hundreds of years.

"Elder Ye, seeing that we have some connections, I advise you to give up." "I know that you have been running around looking for elixirs to treat your hidden injuries. I have a Energy Recovery Pill with me. How about giving it to you as compensation for your loss?" Nangong Wudi cupped his hands towards Old Man Ye. Although it was a discussion, no one could refuse.

Old man Ye looked at the restoration pill and shook his head with a bitter smile. He left the small yard with a lonely expression.

Although Ye Wuque was unwilling, when facing the Nangong Family, he could only withdraw his tail and follow behind his grandfather.

Finally, only the three of them, the Nangong family, and Brother Liang's body were left in the small yard.

Nangong Wudi stretched out his hand towards Zhang Qiang and said lightly, without any emotion, "Hand it over."

Under the pressure from Nangong Wudi, Zhang Qiang subconsciously wanted to give the fan back to him. But at this moment, the wood elemental energy in his dantian suddenly rushed to his head, waking him up.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you the things." Zhang Qiang shook his head and said.

Nangong Wudi's expression did not change, his tone remained as indifferent as before, "I saved you before, you owe me."

"I didn't ask you to save me, so I won't accept your kindness!" Zhang Jing harrumphed coldly.

It seemed like the Nangong Family was used to taking advantage of others. From top to bottom, they had played this trick perfectly.

"If I save you, you have to give me the thing. This is the reward!" Before he finished his sentence, Nangong Wudi had already approached him. He extended his hand and grabbed the fan that Zhang Qiang tied to his chest.

Zhang Jing didn't even have the chance to dodge the attack. He felt a big hand grab onto the fan, and quickly grabbed the other half of the fan as well.

"Let go!" Nangong Wudi gave a loud shout and the strong Zhen Qi suddenly vibrated, making Zhang Qiang's whole body hurt.

However, Zhang Qing refused to let go even if he died. This was the only hope for Qiao Ke to cure his leg. He had promised to not go back on his word.

"Bastard!" Nan Gong Wudi was worried that his fan would be damaged, so he didn't dare to use too much strength. However, he held on tightly to his fan, and the two of them actually reached a stalemate.

However, for someone as proud as Nangong Wudi, he naturally wouldn't return empty-handed. He humiliated himself and threw a palm at Zhang Qiang's shoulder.

Zhang Jing felt an excruciating pain, and his shoulder felt like it was about to fall off.

However, he continued to hold onto the fan tightly, making Nangong Wudi's teeth itch in anger, "Kid, do you want to die?"

"Even if you beat me to death, I can't give you the thing." Zhang Qiang said while enduring the pain.

"Then don't blame this old man for bullying the weak!" Nangong Wudi's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand and struck towards the top of his head.

If this palm attack landed, Zhang Qiang would die without a doubt.

However, at this moment, Qiao Ke suddenly rushed over and blocked Zhang Qiang from the front. "Don't hurt my brother!"

"But you better get out of the way!" Zhang Jing shouted anxiously.

Qiao Ke shook his head as tears welled up in his eyes. "Bro, we can't heal the legs. Give them the items. It's not worth it to put your life on the line for a leg!"

"NO!" I promised Grandfather that I will cure your leg. I can't go back on my words, even if it means my death! " Zhang Qiang roared and pushed away Qiao Ke. However, he only heard a "chi la" sound.

Zhang Qiang was not only shocked, even Nangong Wudi was stunned for a moment. Qiao Ke who was pushed down was holding a piece of fan. His face was covered with tears as he smiled proudly, "Brother, we don't need to look at the legs anymore."
