Chapter 2543 — Cutting Off Both Legs Is No Easy Feat
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes, Grandfather, that's why I didn't rashly make the request to the Hidden Yu family directly, but wanted to discuss it with you first." Zhao Qibing's heart skipped a beat. This time he truly meant it. The princess of the Hidden Yu family was not only beautiful, like a woman out of a fairy tale—most importantly, if he married Yu Ning, his position as young family head of the Zhao family would be secure. Wasn't that exactly how it had been with his father, Zhao Guangyin?
"You may go back first. I've heard what you had to say." Old Master Zhao waved his hand, signaling that Zhao Qibing could leave.
"Yes!" Zhao Qibing did not dare say more, and hastily withdrew.
In fact, Old Master Zhao and Zhao Qibing were of the same mind. He too was thinking that if Zhao Qibing could marry Yu Ning, then pushing him into the position would meet far less resistance. So this matter really was worth maneuvering over...
After returning, Zhao Qibing took out the "Thousand Legs" martial art and began studying his own legs. Breaking them nine times—that was a bit too ruthless. Most people could not bring themselves to do it. But to master this martial art, Zhao Qibing had no choice but to break his own legs.
Zhao Qibing found a large hammer. Gritting his teeth, he shut his eyes and swung it at his legs...
"Bang!"
"Awooo—"
Zhao Qibing let out a miserable scream, but his leg did not break. Apart from a bruise, there was no injury at all. He was, after all, an early earth-tier expert now, with true qi protecting his body. When the blow landed, he had instinctively summoned his true qi as a shield. As a result, the hammer struck, the leg did not break, and he was left in agony, cold sweat pouring down.
"Damn it, the pain is killing me! Breaking a leg isn't something just anyone can do!" Zhao Qibing grimaced in pain. He had watched Wei Zhao break his legs so easily before, yet for himself it was no simple matter. So this was a skill in its own right!
Zhao Qibing waited a while, gritted his teeth, raised the hammer again, and brought it down. This time he tried his best to avoid using true qi to shield himself. Another loud "bang," and Zhong Yongliang let out an "awooo," flung the hammer away, clutched his leg, and hopped around on the ground: "It's killing me, killing me, killing your daddy dead! Is it broken this time?"
But after waiting a while, Zhao Qibing found that apart from a swollen lump on his leg, there was no sign of a break at all. His face fell into a worried frown! Why was breaking a leg so difficult? When he had watched Wei Zhao break his legs, it had snapped at once, but when it came to his own turn, it simply wouldn't work...
