Chapter 1455 - 1450: Avenging Fengzi
Lu Yuanfeng trusts Mu Shuangshuang.
However, he doesn’t let down his guard, after all Zhao Ping, is a despicable scoundrel.
"Da... Niu, be careful, don’t take this lightly!"
Lu Yuanfeng reminded Mu Shuangshuang, who was already preparing for the contest.
"Hmm! Don’t worry!" Mu Shuangshuang flashed a reassuring smile at Lu Yuanfeng.
As she turned around, she clenched her fists and faced Zhao Ping straight on.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s peculiar stance, Zhao Ping couldn’t help but laugh: "A fool who knows nothing dares to challenge me; today I’ll make you admit defeat!"
Zhao Ping rushed forward, his fist aimed straight at Mu Shuangshuang’s face.
Almost everyone thought that with this punch, Mu Shuangshuang was finished.
But just as the fist was about to land on her face, she dodged it and quickly jumped to Zhao Ping’s back.
"I’m here!" Mu Shuangshuang called out to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping spun around fiercely, swinging another punch.
Mu Shuangshuang dodged again, arriving behind Zhao Ping, and taunted him, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re really slow; I seriously doubt how you got into the Vanguard Camp!"
"I’ll kill you!"
Failing to hit Mu Shuangshuang twice and further enraged by her deliberate words, Zhao Ping lost his composure completely.
In his mind, there was only one thought: to kill Mu Shuangshuang and win the match.
As a result, his punches became entirely disorganized.
He swung randomly, aiming wherever Mu Shuangshuang dodged, regardless of whether he could actually hit her.
Those who were convinced Zhao Ping would win were almost dumbfounded.
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Zhao Ping’s punches were chaotic, yet the person being attacked was orderly or easily dodged every strike from Zhao Ping.
This person is not simple!
"Looks like we’ve underestimated this kid!"
"Indeed, since when did the kitchen have someone so skilled?"
"At this rate, Zhao Ping is sure to lose! Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kid staying in the kitchen is such a waste!"
The surrounding soldiers began discussing the battle.
These comments reached Zhao Ping’s ears, greatly enraging him.
"Shut up, all of you! I haven’t lost yet, I’ll show you how I teach this brat a lesson!" Zhao Ping roared.
It was this roar that made instructor Lin Ze extremely disappointed in him!
Lin Ze watched the fight from start to finish.
Initially, he didn’t know the details about Mu Shuangshuang, hence couldn’t analyze her.
But he understood Zhao Ping, and today he wasn’t performing at his level at all.
Driven by emotion, he couldn’t see the situation before him.
Such a person, should they go to battle, might not survive!
Contrarily, Lin Ze grew increasingly interested in Mu Shuangshuang.
From the first punch by Zhao Ping, Mu Shuangshuang’s response, dodge speed, and even her mentality were unmatched by ordinary individuals.
Lin Ze even felt that if this kid remained in camp, he would accomplish great things in the future.
Beside him, Lu Yuanfeng clearly sensed that Mu Shuangshuang’s speed and strength were much improved since he left the village.
Could it be from the month spent with the escort agency when coming to the Northwest?
Lu Yuanfeng guessed correctly, Mu Shuangshuang was not idle during that month joining the escort agency.
Encountering several small bandit groups along the way, though it didn’t take much effort to resolve.
However, that time spent braving the elements and traveling for days was a tremendous help to Mu Shuangshuang.
Her improvement in speed and strength was entirely normal.
Unable to succeed for a long time, Zhao Ping had long lost his composure. Mu Shuangshuang seized the opportunity and kicked Zhao Ping heavily in the right chest.
Zhao Ping was kicked to the ground.
Almost at the same moment, Lu Yuanfeng instinctively glanced at his own injury.
The spot where Shuangshuang kicked Zhao Ping was precisely where he was injured.
Was Shuangshuang standing up for him?
"Stand up! Is this all you’ve got? Hmph, with your level, you dare to challenge Lu Yuanfeng? You can’t even beat me! But you sure talk big!"
Mu Shuangshuang returned the insults Zhao Ping previously hurled at her and Lu Yuanfeng.
Additionally, she gave a little praise to Lu Yuanfeng.
Lu Yuanfeng had been in the camp for quite some time, but spending too much time in the kitchen.
As a result, hardly anyone knew his true abilities, even instructor Lin Ze was unaware.
However, these words made Lin Ze can’t help but take a closer look at Lu Yuanfeng.
He increasingly felt that it was a great thing for the commander to have him train both Lin Ze and Lu Yuanfeng well.
"Just now doesn’t count, I was careless! Let’s go again!"
Zhao Ping got up from the ground, but found a reason for himself.
Only, everyone present knew.
With Zhao Ping like this, he was destined to lose.
"Alright then, let’s go! I need to finish this and go back to cook!" Mu Shuangshuang snorted coldly, her expression reminiscent of Zhao Ping’s when he humiliated Lu Yuanfeng earlier.
"I’ll have your life!"
Zhao Ping clenched his fist and rushed forward again, but this time Mu Shuangshuang didn’t dodge, as Zhao Ping left too many openings.
She kicked Zhao Ping’s right chest again.
This time, she used eighty percent of her strength.
Zhao Ping was kicked and fell onto a pile of weapons.
This time, Zhao Ping coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He gritted his teeth, pulled up a large knife from the ground, and swung it at Mu Shuangshuang.
Lu Yuanfeng initially wanted to intervene but feared Shuangshuang would be displeased. Luckily, he found a hemp rope on the ground, and without thinking, tossed it to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Da Niu, catch!"
Lu Yuanfeng knew Mu Shuangshuang liked to use hemp rope as a weapon.
Lu Yuanfeng once considered making her a whip, since whips were similar to hemp rope, but Mu Shuangshuang refused, claiming whips were not as useful as hemp rope.
Lu Yuanfeng then abandoned the idea.
"Got it!" Mu Shuangshuang caught the hemp rope tossed by Lu Yuanfeng, and a smile appeared on her face.
She adjusted the hemp rope to her desired length and when Zhao Ping charged forward, swung the hemp rope which just happened to slice off the unwanted part with Zhao Ping’s knife.
But just a hemp rope in Mu Shuangshuang’s hands was agile like a dragon.
Missing his strike, Zhao Ping was whipped again by the hemp rope on his right chest.
A look of pain appeared on his face, after two hits, he couldn’t last much longer.
But his pride wouldn’t let him concede defeat.
"Ahhh, I’ll fight you!"
Zhao Ping swung at Mu Shuangshuang again, but this time, Mu Shuangshuang’s hemp rope wrapped around his neck.
With a fierce tug, Zhao Ping was flung away, dropping the long knife from his hand.
It nearly smashed into some nearby soldiers spectating!
"Alright, the result is decided!"
Instructor Lin Ze finally stood up, addressing all gathered soldiers, Zhao Ping included.
