Actually, Duan Hu, Wu San Liang, and Lei Zongkang were all vaguely aware of this.
"Old Lei!" Duan Hu and Wu San Liang urged.
Lei Zongkang was a little hesitant.
Black Peony even fished out five gold notes from her body. "Fifty thousand gold coins. This is what Grandpa Taoist gave me!"
They stared at the gold coins in surprise!
Niu You said, "Let those who conspired against me continue to stay by my side. You can ask him if he will feel comfortable in the future and feel disgusted!"
His meaning was obvious! Black Peony hurriedly pleaded, "Daoye, can you give him another chance?"
Niu Youdao said, "Opportunities are given by people. I don't understand him, and I don't know his character, so there's no need. Black Peony, I'll say it again. I believed what you said back then, but now that something has happened, you must give me an explanation. If you don't, I'll take care of it myself! "
As soon as these words came out, the few of them felt a great threat.
"No need to beg him!" Lei Zongkang roared, staring at Black Peony and the others. "We've been together for so many years. Do you believe him or me? Whose side are you on?"
He, too, felt the danger and wanted to pull everyone together.
Niu Youdao said calmly, "If they're on your side, you can't run either!"
Swoosh! Lei Zongkang drew his sword. Duan Hu and Wu San Liang, who were frowning, looked at each other and walked to Lei Zongkang's side.
Black Peony turned her head to take a look. Her face was filled with embarrassment. In the end, she bent down and placed the gold notes in her hand on the ground. She slowly retreated to the other side. "Taoist Grandpa, I'm sorry. We've been brothers for many years, and we've supported each other to survive until now. We can't abandon our brothers. Daoye, a great man like you shouldn't hold a grudge against a lowly man like me. How about we part on good terms? "
They were quite afraid of Niu Youdao's strong confidence. They said this because they didn't want to take the risk of fighting.
Niu Youdao's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible admiration. He said coldly, "Plotting against me in secret, how is this part on good terms?"
Duan Hu unsheathed his sword, Wu San Liang unsheathed his sword, and Hei Peony slowly unsheathed her sword as well. The four of them joined forces and stayed vigilant as they slowly retreated, guarding against any sneak attacks.
Niu Youdao pointed at Yuan Fang. "Lao Xiong also has a group of brothers. Lao Xiong has tried to kill me before, but I won't take it seriously. I can still be with him."
He raised his chin at Lei Zongkang. "Do you know the difference between Old Bear and this brother of yours? Do you know why I refuse to accept him? As a team, your abilities are limited. Even if something happens and you can't shoulder the responsibility, you still insist that you're in the right and feel that there's no need to discuss it with others … Now that something has happened, you don't dare to shoulder the responsibility and even want to drag your brothers to bear the risk with you. What a despicable person! "
Lei Zongkang's expression twitched.
Niu Youdao had a look of disdain on his face. "Lei Zongkang, don't say that I'm looking down on you. I'll give you a chance. If it's really as you say, that you're doing this for the good of everyone, then step forward. Three moves! As long as you can take three moves from me without collapsing, I'll let you go! If you don't dare to take my moves, I'll still let you go because I'm afraid of dirtying my hands by killing a despicable person like you. However, someone has to exchange their life for yours. Make your choice! "
Yuan Fang, who was standing at the side, was amused. At first, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to deal with a few Foundation Building Realm cultivators. Now that he heard Daoye's words, he felt that he was too powerful. He couldn't help but be confident!
Black Peony turned around and said, "Ignore him. He's trying to sow discord. Let's go!"
However, Lei Zongkang didn't intend to leave. He stood there with a taut face and stared at Niu Youdao. He was stunned by Niu Youdao's words.
Black Peony pulled his sleeve. "Let's go!"
Niu Youdao stared at Lei Zongkang's eyes and said with a mocking expression, "I'll take another step back. One palm strike! As long as you can take one palm strike from me without collapsing, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'll kill Black Peony! "
Yuan Fang immediately chimed in from the side. "Lei Zongkang, if I were you, I'd save my own life. I'd let Black Peony die for you. There's no need to be so conflicted!"
Yuan Fang had trained with Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang. He'd endured Niu Youdao's Heaven and Earth Palm before, so he knew what it felt like. It was absolutely exhilarating. Yuan Fang was looking forward to Lei Zongkang getting a taste of it.
Lei Zongkang said angrily, "Are you going to keep your word?"
Niu Youdao said, "Is there any point in asking this? If you can't even take one palm strike from me, do you think you can escape? Isn't it worth a gamble? "
"Let's go!" Black Peony was anxious and tugged at Lei Zongkang.
Lei Zongkang suddenly turned around. "Boss, I heard that when he joined Shang Chaozong, he was only in the Aura Refining stage. Right now, he's at most in the Foundation Building stage. His cultivation is about the same as ours. I don't believe that we can't even take one palm strike from him in a head-on clash!"
With a swoosh, he tore his sleeve and resolutely dashed out, facing off against Niu Youdao.
The other side also knew that there was no point in trying to persuade him. Lei Zongkang had already been put on the spot by Black Peony's words. If he ran like this, he wouldn't have the face to face them in the future. Black Peony stomped her feet anxiously and threw away the sleeve she'd torn. She could only watch anxiously with Duan Hu and Wu San 'er.
Lei Zongkang clenched his teeth. "Just one palm strike?"
Niu Youdao nodded. "One palm strike!"
Lei Zongkang shouted, "Watch my palm!" Without another word, he charged out and struck out with his palm.
Niu Youdao's clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. One of his hands, which was resting on the hilt of his sword, abruptly moved and struck out with his palm.
Bang! The two palms collided, and a loud sound rang out.
Lei Zongkang's eyes suddenly widened. He sensed that something was wrong. There were two different kinds of power spinning rapidly on Miao Yi's arm, which disintegrated and dispersed the power of his palm strike. Lei Zongkang's palm strike was unable to focus on breaking through the power.
He was shocked. 'What the hell?'
What made him even more alarmed and panicked was that there was an extremely tyrannical spiral power in Miao Yi's palm strike that had brazenly entered his body.
Lei Zongkang staggered backwards, his eyes wide open. The spiral power that had entered his body had already split into two, invading his internal organs.
As he retreated, half of his face quickly turned bright red, the other half deathly pale, and even frosted over. "Pu!"
Unable to resist the strange power in his body, Lei Zongkang spat out a mouthful of blood. His body tilted and he fell to the ground.
Niu Youdao's raised palm slowly rested on the other palm in front of him. His clothes fluttered in the wind as they fell to the ground.
Their cultivations were actually not that far apart. Miao Yi was able to receive a palm strike without moving, and the difference between the two of them was so obvious. It wasn't just because his Universe Palm was tyrannical. There was naturally a reason why he dared to make this bet. He had already gotten a glimpse of the Universe Technique's "Universe Nullification Force."
Of course, as his cultivation increased, the power of his Universe Palm had also improved. His next step was to study the "Universe Shift" movement technique when he had the time.
Seeing half of Lei Zongkang's face turn red as if it had been scalded and the other half covered in frost, Yuan Fang was elated. Finally, there was someone to share this feeling with him.
Black Peony and the others were shocked. They hadn't expected that the difference in strength between Lei Zongkang and Niu Youdao would be so great. Lei Zongkang couldn't even receive a single palm strike from Niu Youdao. What was even more terrifying was that Niu Youdao didn't even move from his original spot.
Fear filled their hearts and minds. They finally understood why Niu Youdao had such confidence.
The three of them flashed over to support Lei Zongkang. At this moment, Lei Zongkang was vomiting blood nonstop. He was desperately executing his arts to suppress the strange energy in his body. The hot and cold energy were attacking his five viscera and six bowels at the same time, making it hard for him to adapt. Half of his body was boiling hot, and the frost on the other half was getting thicker.
The three of them didn't have time to think and quickly joined hands to execute their arts to neutralize the energy. Otherwise, Lei Zongkang's life would be in danger.
As the clattering sound got closer, the three of them looked up and saw Niu Youdao holding his sword as a crutch. He slowly walked over and stood in front of the three of them.
Niu Youdao looked down and said, "I said that if he can receive a palm strike from me, I will let him go. If he can't … is there a need to save him? I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you don't want to stay, you can leave. He will stay. "
The three of them looked at each other anxiously. If the four of them had escaped earlier, they might still have a chance. Now, if they were to bring along a severely injured Lei Zongkang, none of them would be able to escape.
Black Peony suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Niu Youdao. She pleaded, "Daoye, you are someone who has seen the world. There is no need for you to make life difficult for insignificant people like us. Can you please be kind and let him go?"
Lei Zongkang looked to the side helplessly. When he saw Black Peony kneeling down for him, he became agitated and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Niu Youdao asked, "Old Bear, what do you think?"
Yuan Fangzheng picked up the gold notes on the ground and stuffed them into his clothes. When he heard what was said, he walked over with his saber and said, "Reckless fool. How dare you plot against Daoye! Daoye, this grudge has already been formed. It is not good to leave any future troubles! "
"Your killing intent is too heavy. I don't like to fight and kill." Niu Youdao said disdainfully. He turned around to look at the others and said, "But what he said isn't without reason. It is indeed not good to leave any future troubles by our side. Two choices. He stays and you go. You stay and he goes! "
At this point, the choice was no longer up to Black Peony and the others, but it was hard for them to speak.
Lei Zongkang said vaguely, "I'll go!"
Black Peony and the others were silent, their expressions complicated.
Niu Youdao said, "If you agree, I will heal his wounds and let him go. From now on, your lives will be mine. You will serve me. If you don't agree, I will take his life. Three lives for one life isn't worth it. Think about it yourselves. "
In the end, Lei Zongkang shook his head again.
But these words caused Black Peony to grit her teeth and nod. "I agree!"
Duan Hu nodded with difficulty. "I agree!"
Wu Sanliang nodded. "Have Daoye heal his wounds."
Niu Youdao said, "Since the decision has been made, then write it in blood and sign the indentured servitude!"
Lei Zongkang shook his head again, tears streaming down his red face.
Black Peony and the others looked downcast. They took out paper from their bags, bit their fingers, and wrote it in blood. One by one, they handed over the indentured servitude.
Niu Youdao tilted his head and gestured. Yuan Fang cautiously stepped forward and collected the indentured servitude. After inspecting them, he nodded at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way!"
Black Peony and the others retreated to the side.
Niu Youdao passed the sword to Yuan Fang and pulled Lei Zongkang up, pressing his palm on Lei Zongkang's back.
After a while, the redness and frost on Lei Zongkang's face faded. Lei Zongkang's mind was clearly recovering.
