Chapter 560

No one knew that Zhang Xiaohua was so afraid of drinking. Wu Zhouxu said, "Of course, it's a martial arts competition!"

Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her nose and said, "Then please enlighten me."

Wu Zhouxu pointed at Zou Shuming and said, "Junior Brother Zou is best at qinggong. Moreover, Junior Brother Ren was too tired yesterday and is not suitable for a real fight. Therefore, I have discussed with Head Leader Chen. Why don't we use qinggong as the competition content? Junior Brother Ren, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiaohua had seen how good Zou Shuming's qinggong was yesterday, so he was very confident. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your consideration. This qinggong competition is really tailor-made for me. Then let's do as you say. How should we compete?"

Chen Feng smiled as he pointed at the peak of Tian Mu Peak in the distance. "We'll start from this small courtyard. You and Junior Brother Zou will start towards the peak of Tian Mu Peak. There's a giant stone screen at the peak. Elder Lei and the representatives of the Pill and Grass Divisions are already waiting there. Whoever reaches the stone screen first will be the winner!"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Looks like the two leaders have arranged everything. I have nothing else to say. Please begin."

Chen Fengxiao's face reddened. However, Zhang Xiaohua had offended all the disciples of Tian Mu Peak this time and could only suffer a little. Although Zou Shuming's martial arts was not as good as Chen Fengxiao's, he had been training in internal strength since young and was much stronger than Chen Fengxiao. In Chen Fengxiao's heart, Zhang Xiaohua might not be able to win against Zou Shuming. However, taking out twenty percent of the bet to appease the crowd was also very worthwhile.

Zou Shuming heard and smiled, "Junior Brother Ren was tired yesterday and I took advantage of him today. Now, please go first."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't, Senior Brother Zou. You bear the heavy responsibility of the Pill and Grass Divisions of our Tian Mu Peak. If you are so modest, you will be letting them down.

Let's start together. "

Zou Shuming's heart trembled, and he cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother is right. Then I'll ask Head Leader Chen to give the order, and we'll begin together!"

Chen Feng glanced at Wuzhou Ruins with a smile and said, "Then I'll count to three and we'll begin. The wind is strong on the mountain peak. Don't let Elder Lei wait for too long."

Then he said, "One … two … three!"

In an instant, Zou Shuming exerted force on his feet, and his figure shot out of the small courtyard like an arrow leaving the bow. Behind him, a green shadow followed closely behind, and was not the slightest bit slower. Wasn't that Zhang Xiaohua?

"Ah!!!"

Chen Fengxiao and Wu Zhouxu were shocked when they saw Zhang Xiaohua and Zou Shuming rush out at the same time, and the speed at which they rushed out was not inferior. Then, they hurriedly used their Lightness Skill to leap over the wall. Looking at the two shadows running one after another to the top of the mountain, they looked at each other again and said, "It's really tailor-made. Ren Xiaoyao's martial arts is so high that it's not weaker than Zou Shuming's. It seems that this competition is not what we thought before!"

Not to mention the two on the wall secretly sighing at their miscalculation, Zou Shuming and Zhang Xiaohua both used their qinggong to rush to the top of Tian Mu Peak. Although in everyone's eyes, and even in Zou Shuming's heart, the Ethereal Steps used by Zhang Xiaohua was not something that the Pill Expanding Hall disciples, who were not even outer disciples of the Incense Cult, could compare to?

Actually, at this point, Zhang Xiaohua had to be criticized. He had been playing the game of a pig to eat a tiger these two days, and was really bullying the Pill Expanding Hall disciples. Based on his true level, it was far beyond what Chen Feng and Wuzhou Ruins could imagine. However, firstly, he wanted to enter the Pill Expanding Hall in a low-key manner to find information about his second brother, so he could not expose his strength. Secondly, he was targeted by Wuzhou Ruins and had no choice but to participate in the gambling fight. Thirdly, he did not want to lose his Golden Leaf to others, and wanted to earn some pills and herbs from others.

Therefore, he had no choice but to repeatedly "tease" these Pill Expanding Hall disciples.

As for Zou Shuming, he did not know how many times he had run from the waist of Tian Mu Peak to the top of the mountain, so he had adjusted his internal energy to the best state. However, no matter how he circulated his internal energy, or how hard he pushed his feet, it seemed that he could not shake off Zhang Xiaohua's tracking. And Zhang Xiaohua seemed to know that this was the last round, so he did not care about his internal energy and followed Zou Shuming with all his might.

Seeing that they were halfway there, the two of them followed the rugged mountain path to an extremely steep area. Zou Shuming's eyes turned, and his figure flashed, leaving the mountain path, and ran straight to the bottom of a cliff. He turned back to look at Zhang Xiaohua who was also following him, and could not help but reveal a trace of fierceness in his eyes. He then used both his hands and feet to climb up the steep cliff.

"This …" Zhang Xiaohua, who had followed him to the bottom of the cliff, paused slightly. Looking at the almost vertical cliff, he could not help but hesitate. He was not afraid that he could not climb up, but he was afraid that something would happen to Zou Shuming.

After this round of Qing Gong competition, he already had a rough idea of Zou Shuming's level of Qing Gong and internal energy. This steep cliff was indeed somewhat difficult for Zou Shuming.

But seeing that Zou Shuming had already climbed up, Zhang Xiaohua did not delay any longer. His body leaned against the cliff wall, and his hands and feet also stuck to it, as if he was climbing. Then he used his internal energy to raise his hand, and used the levitation technique. Immediately he rose up a distance, and not long after, he caught up with Zou Shuming again.

Zhang Xiaohua's guess was not wrong. This cliff was where Zou Shuming used to practice his Qing Gong. He had always been able to climb up to a height of five hundred feet, and if he went any higher, his internal energy would not be able to support him. In his mind, if he could not climb up to five hundred feet, then Zhang Xiaohua would not even be able to climb up to three hundred feet. When Zhang Xiaohua slid down the cliff, hehe, wouldn't it be time for him to win?

Unfortunately, when he reached thirty meters, he looked down and saw Zhang Xiaohua slowly climbing up beneath his feet. When he reached sixty meters, Zhang Xiaohua was still doing the same. When he reached his limit of fifty meters, Zhang Xiaohua was still below him, slowly climbing up. It was almost as if … well, it was almost as if he didn't have the strength to do so.

Thinking of this, Zou Shuming raised his head to look at the peak that was still far away. He was a little hesitant. Five hundred feet was already his limit. If he slowly slid down now, he should not be hurt. If he went any higher, his internal energy would not be enough. If an accident happened, his life would be in danger. But … but he had already chosen this path, and he was shouldering the trust of the disciples. If he failed, wouldn't it be …

Perhaps this was an opportunity for him to make a breakthrough in his Qing Gong?

Zou Shuming's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he couldn't do it, Zhang Xiaohua under his feet couldn't do it either. Maybe he would admit defeat in half an hour!

At this point, Zou Shuming also couldn't hide his shame. He had no choice but to brace himself and climb up. Thus, he took a deep breath and continuously sent his internal energy into his meridians. He could only hope that Zhang Xiaohua would quickly give up and surrender.

However, after climbing up another two hundred feet, Zou Shuming's internal energy was not enough. When he sneaked a glance down, Zhang Xiaohua's thin and tall figure still did not fall half an inch. Zou Shuming could not help but be greatly surprised. At this moment, his mind was slightly agitated and became unstable. The flow of internal energy in his meridians stagnated. His body could not help but sink and fall. Zou Shuming was shocked and involuntarily cried out, "Ouch!" His internal energy was immediately deflated and he could not stabilize his body. He saw that he was about to fall onto Zhang Xiaohua.

Long before they came up the cliff, Zhang Xiaohua had been paying attention to Zou Shuming's movements. She was afraid that he would do something sneaky and she was also afraid that something would happen to him. And Zhang Xiaohua was right below Zou Shuming with the same intention. Seeing Zou Shuming fall, she was not surprised. Her body slightly moved to the side to make space for him to fall. Zou Shuming's body made a "shua" sound and was about to fall from Zhang Xiaohua's side. At this moment, Zou Shuming's eyes were full of fear. This was a cliff that was nearly a hundred feet high. In a moment, he would fall to the ground. His internal energy was not enough and he had nowhere to borrow strength in the air.

At this moment, he saw that Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her left hand and grabbed one of Zou Shuming's arms like lightning. Zou Shuming panicked. That arm was about to use force to stabilize his body and the other hand was about to grab Zhang Xiaohua. In his ears, he heard Zhang Xiaohua's clear voice: "Don't move. If you don't want to die, don't use force and don't pull me. If I feel that you want to move, I will let go of you!"

Zou Shuming was stunned and immediately stopped moving. He didn't even dare to move his fingers. Zhang Xiaohua had heard Li Jinfeng say before that if a drowning person wanted to go out, first, they had to be knocked out. Otherwise, if they were pulled by the hands and feet, they would drown. Just now, she felt that Zou Shuming also wanted to pull her. Although she wasn't afraid, after all, she would have to expose her strength. That was something that Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to do.

Zhang Xiaohua's left hand pulled Zou Shuming. As usual, she slowly climbed up. After a while, she finally reached the top of the cliff. When she jumped up, she put Zou Shuming down. This was a protruding platform. It was right in the middle of the clouds. In front of them, there was still a very tall mountain peak.

When Zou Shuming's feet touched the ground, his heart finally relaxed. With a face full of shame, he looked at Zhang Xiaohua and bowed: "Junior Brother Ren, thank you for saving my life. This match is over. I have already lost."

"Mm, okay."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't decline. She also didn't modestly ask Zou Shuming to compete with her again. Instead, she smiled and said: "It's best that Senior Brother Zou can admit defeat. Senior Brother shouldn't have agreed to such a dangerous cliff."

Hearing this, Zou Shuming was even more ashamed. He said: "Junior Brother Ren, don't blame me. I saw that I couldn't shake you off, so I added it at the last minute. In the entire Tian Mu Peak, I don't think anyone can climb up from this cliff."

Then, he pointed to the mountain path in the distance and said: "That's the real path up the mountain."

Zhang Xiaohua looked and said: "Senior Brother Zou is really too … mischievous ~"

Then, she flashed and rushed towards the mountain path, leaving behind a voice: "Senior Brother Zou, it's better if you follow me to the top of the mountain. Old Consecrator Lei and the rest are still waiting up there."

The word "behind" was emphasized. Zou Shuming must have heard it clearly.
