Chapter 26 Grace as Great as Rebirth
After waiting for about twenty minutes in the shop, Zhang Long brought his people over.
During this time, Yang Fei gave Zhou Cheng a checkup and found that he had only passed out due to a heavy blow, so he didn't wake him up in advance.
Zhou Cheng was a disciple of Li Xuantong, and Yang Fei had a good impression of him, not wanting him to be frightened by today's events.
After knocking on the door, Zhang Long entered the clinic with Ma Zhao and several trusted subordinates.
They immediately spotted the corpse lying in the corner of the wall, and their expressions changed.
So this was what Mr. Yang meant by cleaning up some trash.
"Mr. Yang, what happened?" Zhang Long couldn't help but ask.
Yang Fei pointed to the body and asked, "Can you handle it?"
Zhang Long nodded, and was about to instruct his men to deal with it, when his gaze suddenly sharpened.
His expression changed as he walked over to the corpse, lifting Tian Zhenhai's head.
"Ah, Tian Zhenhai?" Zhang Long exclaimed in shock.
Hearing this exclamation, Ma Zhao and the few trusted subordinates of Dragon and Tiger Hall brought by Zhang Long were also startled.
Many of them had witnessed Tian Zhenhai breaking into Dragon and Tiger Hall and injuring Qi Tai two days ago.
Since Qi Tai was injured, the atmosphere in Dragon and Tiger Hall had been tense, fearing that Tian Zhenhai would come back for revenge.
No one had expected to see Tian Zhenhai's corpse here.
Including Zhang Long, all members of Dragon and Tiger Hall turned their gaze to Yang Fei, their eyes filled with deep shock.
The incident at the Chen Family the previous night had already struck a chord in their hearts, and now seeing Tian Zhenhai dead here, one could only imagine their shock.
It seemed that those who appeared to be very powerful in their eyes could be casually eliminated by this young Mr. Yang.
Zhang Long felt both shocked and overjoyed inwardly.
With Tian Zhenhai dead, Dragon and Tiger Hall no longer had to live in fear.
He had been wondering whether to ask Yang Fei for help, but the incident at the Chen Family last night had been so sudden, and he had been busy swallowing up the Chen Family, so he hadn't had a chance to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Tian Zhenhai was now dead here.
He struggled to suppress the excitement in his heart and said to Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, what happened? How did he end up here, and by the way, is Zhou Cheng okay?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "Zhou Cheng is fine. As for Tian Zhenhai, he came to kill me. He said that since I had healed your master, I should not be allowed to live."
Zhang Long had no idea what to say for a moment. This chapter's true source is My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|LEMP-YR).
However, deep down, his awe of Yang Fei intensified.
He knew Tian Zhenhai's strength, even his own master was no match, yet Yang Fei was able to kill him.
This Mr. Yang was truly unfathomable, and who knew which master he followed or what realm he had reached.
"Clean this up," Zhang Long instructed.
Ma Zhao and the others finally came back to their senses, hurrying to move Tian Zhenhai's body and cleaning the blood off the floor with water, then wiping it dry with a cloth.
Seeing Yang Fei contemplating the two walls, Zhang Long said, "Mr. Yang, rest assured, I'll have the walls repainted tonight."
Yang Fei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thanks."
Zhang Long hurriedly responded, "Mr. Yang, you are too kind. By killing Tian Zhenhai, you've done us a great favor, and not to mention saving my master's life, Dragon and Tiger Hall owes you even more. From now on, if you have any orders, just say the word."
Yang Fei was about to say he didn't want to bother Dragon and Tiger Hall with anything, but then he thought about asking Zhang Long for 'clean-up' help two days in a row and the fact that the powerful individual from the Provincial City who had directed the Chen Family against him hadn't been dealt with, and they might still send someone to make a move.
Moreover, by killing Tian Zhenhai today, he seemed to have provoked more vendettas and troubles.
He might need to trouble Zhang Long with these matters in the future.
With that thought, Yang Fei looked at Zhang Long and said, "I'll give your master another acupuncture treatment tomorrow."
Zhang Long was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei glanced at him and suddenly asked, "You've been stuck at the peak of dark energy for a long time, haven't you?"
Zhang Long was taken aback, then replied with utmost respect, "Yes. Mr. Yang, your insight is unparalleled; nothing can be hidden from you."
"Do you want to advance?" Yang Fei asked.
Zhang Long's heart pounded wildly, his eyes burning with fervor as he looked at Yang Fei and asked, "Mr... Mr. Yang, could you please advise?"
Yang Fei asked, "You have the Luck Mantra, right?"
Zhang Long nodded.
Yang Fei said, "Go find a set of silver needles."
Zhang Long was overjoyed and hurried to look for the silver needles.
He didn't even know why he trusted Yang Fei so much to help him join the ranks of high-level Inner Strength experts.
Although Yang Fei was very strong in combat and had unparalleled medical skills, assisting others in improving their strength was a very rare feat, almost impossible to accomplish.
Soon, Zhang Long had found a set of silver needles.
Yang Fei instructed him to practice according to the Qi Cultivation Mantra, then swiftly inserted six silver needles into Zhang Long's body.
The Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle!
This acupuncture technique seemed to be specifically designed to assist martial practitioners in their cultivation.
Although Yang Fei had been taught a nameless but dominant cultivation technique by a master at the age of thirteen, the fact that he had reached such a level in just a decade, becoming the internationally renowned 'Madman King', was inseparable from this Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique.
Every time he practiced, he would use this technique to aid his cultivation, thus his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing ordinary people.
However, this acupuncture technique also had significant drawbacks.
Ordinary people simply couldn't use it for long.
But now, it was the most suitable method for Yang Fei to help Zhang Long break through his bottleneck.
As the effects of the Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique worked on him, Zhang Long, who was practicing and channeling Qi, felt his heart pounding wildly. He sensed that the effect of guiding the energy within his body today was more than tenfold compared to usual.
Having already cultivated to the peak of dark energy, and only one step shy from Inner Strength, he had already formed a rudimentary inner energy within his body.
Very quickly, Zhang Long broke through thirty-six acupoints and truly entered the Early Stage of Inner Strength, becoming an Inner Strength Martial Artist.
"Continue."
Seeing that Zhang Long had successfully broken through the thirty-six acupoints, Yang Fei's eyes slightly brightened as he reminded him.
Eagerly suppressing the wild joy in his heart, Zhang Long steadied his emotions and continued to attack the acupoints.
Ma Zhao didn't take action himself; the people he had arranged had already taken away Tian Zhenhai's body and the medical hall had been cleaned up.
At this moment, seeing Yang Fei assisting Zhang Long with his breakthrough, he and several of his men were also thrilled, hardly daring to even breathe as they watched intently from the side.
An hour later.
A pained expression appeared on Zhang Long's face.
Yang Fei watched for a while.
When Zhang Long was sweating profusely like pulp and the pain became somewhat uncontrollable, Yang Fei moved quickly like lightning and removed the six silver needles.
Zhang Long felt a huge relief and exhaled a deep breath of turbid air.
He quickly got up, knelt down gratefully before Yang Fei, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your assistance. For such a great kindness, I, Zhang Long, would not be able to repay you even if I were to shatter my body into pieces."
Yang Fei accepted his thanks with a smile and said, "You were able to breakthrough fifty-four acupoints in one go, your talent and potential are indeed excellent. Keep working hard in the future."
Zhang Long was shocked, not expecting Yang Fei to have even sensed that, and hurriedly said, "If it weren't for Mr. Yang's assistance, I wouldn't know how long it would've taken me to reach the Early Stage of Inner Strength. Now that I've broken through fifty-four acupoints, I am firmly in the Early Stage of Inner Strength. I just need to break through eighteen more acupoints to advance to the Mid Stage of Inner Strength."
Yang Fei nodded slightly and refrained from saying more.
He walked over to where Zhou Cheng was, pressed on his philtrum for a while, and Zhou Cheng woke up.
Seeing Yang Fei and so many people gathered there, Zhou Cheng was first stunned, then seemed to remember something, and asked in alarm, "Mr. Yang, what about that... that person? Did you guys drive him away?"
Yang Fei smiled and pointed at Zhang Long, "Yes, Zhang Long has driven the man away. You were just knocked out, nothing serious."
Zhou Cheng immediately relaxed.
Yang Fei warned Zhou Cheng, "Don't tell your master about what happened tonight, so as not to worry him."
Zhou Cheng looked at Yang Fei, puzzled.
Zhang Long said to Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, please go back and rest. I will take care of everything here."
Yang Fei nodded and turned to leave.
The reason he had helped Zhang Long break through was that he had found this man to be emotional, righteous, and grateful.
Now that he was staying in Binhai, having offended many people, having someone like Zhang Long to clean up the aftermath would spare him a lot of trouble.
