Chapter 2899 — I'll Break It For You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh? You won't do it?" Shen Yushu narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Qibing with a half-smile. "Don't you go regretting this. I spent days learning from Chewing Gum Bro specially so I could break your leg for you—I've already broken several big trees. If you don't want it done, fine, but when Chewing Gum Bro gets back, I'll tell him you changed your mind, and he'll never break your leg for you after that. Chewing Gum Bro always listens to little Shu!"
"Uh... this..." Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Qibing's forehead, and he silently cursed his own loose tongue—why on earth had he struck up a conversation with Shen Yushu? Now he was caught between a rock and a hard place. If he refused to let Shen Yushu break it, the girl would surely badmouth him to Wei Zhao, and if Wei Zhao took her word for it, his hopes of having his leg broken would be dashed for good.
But if he let her do it, Zhao Qibing was not exactly at ease either. What if she failed to break it?
"Hey, are you doing this or not? If not, Yaoyao and I are going home to play. Out of the way!" Seeing Zhao Qibing dithering, Shen Yushu grew impatient.
"Do it, do it! Right here?" Zhao Qibing gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Even if she failed to break it, it wouldn't kill him—giving it a try wouldn't be the death of him. And if by some chance she really did break it, then he'd have gotten himself a bargain!
"Go down to the open ground below. Find yourself an iron rod." Shen Yushu said.
"Fine... then you'd better do it properly. Try your best to break it!" Zhao Qibing reminded her.
"Oh, don't you worry. Why don't you trust me? Haven't you heard I go by the name Professional Leg-Breaker Shu?" Shen Yushu waved her hand impatiently. "Hurry up and go find that rod!"
"There's a rod right here, as it happens!" Once downstairs, Zhao Qibing beckoned. "Uncle Zhu, bring the rod over!"
Uncle Zhu had been waiting downstairs for Zhao Qibing all along. He carried an iron rod on his person at all times, kept specifically for the day he laid eyes on Wei Zhao, so he could break Wei Zhao's leg for him. True, Wei Zhao had no need of an iron rod most of the time, but better safe than sorry!
"Yes, Young Master Bing!" Uncle Zhu handed the iron rod to Zhao Qibing.
"All right, see if this rod will do?" Zhao Qibing passed the iron rod to Shen Yushu.
"Sure. Then get ready—I'm going to hit you now!" Shen Yushu raised the iron rod, eyed Zhao Qibing's leg, and considered how best to go about it.
"I say, Miss Chen, could you hurry it up a bit? I'm waiting here..." Zhao Qibing had waited a good while and Shen Yushu still hadn't swung, so he grew a little anxious. He had been holding his true qi gathered in protection of his body the whole time, but this was a state he could not control as he pleased; though he had made some progress lately, he still wasn't quite up to it—otherwise he could have found just about anyone to break his leg for him.
"Oh, here it comes!" Shen Yushu swung the iron rod up and brought it down on Zhao Qibing's right leg with a crisp "thwack."
"Ouch!" Zhao Qibing let out a miserable yelp and hopped about on the ground clutching his right leg. His leg was not broken at all—Shen Yushu had merely given it a rather painful blow. Without his true qi shielding him, taking a direct hit like that had left him black and blue, and even for a cultivator like Zhao Qibing, the pain was considerable. "My god, do you even know how to hit?"
