Chapter 126 Can't Afford to Lose!
Chapter 126 Can't Afford to Lose!
"No! This round doesn't count!"
As soon as Zhao Shao came to a stop, he started yelling hysterically, "You cheated! You definitely used boosters! I'm going to check your skis!"
He can't afford to lose.
Let him jump off the platform naked?
It would be better to kill him.
"examine?"
Zhang Yan kicked off his skis and tossed them in front of Zhao Shao. "Look closely, these are the most basic skis the hotel rented."
"But it's you."
Zhang Yan took a step forward, and that suffocating sense of oppression descended once again.
"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."
He pointed to the diving platform next to him, "Take off your clothes and go up yourself, or should I help you?"
"You...you mustn't do anything reckless!"
Zhao Shao took two steps back and yelled at the foreigners behind him, "What are you standing there for! Get him! Break his legs! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"
The foreigners exchanged glances, and taking advantage of their numbers, threw down their ski poles and surrounded the group, waving their fists.
"court death."
Zhang Yan's eyes turned cold.
Perfect timing! I didn't get enough fun skating earlier, so I'll use these human sandbags to stretch my muscles.
The first foreigner to rush forward was struck in the neck with a whip kick before his fist could even touch Zhang Yan's clothes.
"Bang!"
The burly man, weighing 200 pounds, flew five meters away like a rag doll, crashing into a snowdrift and passing out without even uttering a sound.
Before the remaining people could react, Zhang Yan had already rushed into the crowd.
There were no fancy moves.
It was all simple and brutal knee strikes, elbow strikes, and side kicks.
Each strike precisely hits a joint or a vulnerable spot.
Less than ten seconds.
Foreigners lay groaning on the snow, some clutching their stomachs and vomiting bile, others rolling around with their legs in pain.
Zhao Shao was left all alone, standing there, his legs trembling like a leaf.
"You...you stay away..."
Young Master Zhao was so scared he wet himself.
He really peed; the yellow liquid dripped down his ski pants onto the pristine white snow, a stark contrast to his appearance.
Is this even human?
This is practically a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"I told you to take your clothes off, but you wouldn't."
Zhang Yan walked up to him, reached out and patted his swollen face. "Now, it's too late."
"What do you want? My dad is..."
"Bang!"
Zhang Yan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he kicked him in the stomach.
Zhao Shao curled up like a shrimp, kneeling on the ground and dry heaving.
"Uncle Qian."
Zhang Yan called out without turning his head.
Manager Qian, who had been waiting with security guards, immediately ran over, his face covered in cold sweat.
"Strip him naked."
Zhang Yan said calmly, "Hanging on the diving platform, we'll take you down when you've recovered from the cold."
"this……"
Manager Qian hesitated a bit, after all, Zhao Shao's family also had some connections.
"If anything goes wrong, the Nie family will take responsibility."
Nie Qingcheng slid down the slope on her snowboard.
She had seen everything clearly from up there, and now her eyes were filled with admiration. She wished she could rush up and kiss Zhang Yan right now.
"I'll listen to my son-in-law."
Nie Qingcheng coldly glanced at Zhao Shao on the ground, "Anyone who dares to put him down is going against Qingcheng Group."
"yes!"
Hearing the young lady's words, Manager Qian instantly straightened his back. With a wave of his hand, several security guards pounced on Zhao Shao like wolves and began to tear off his clothes.
Screams echoed throughout the ski resort.
"Boring."
Zhang Yan dusted off his hands, not even glancing over there.
He turned around and looked at Nie Qingcheng. The murderous aura he had just exuded vanished instantly, replaced by a lazy smile.
"Honey, this place is too noisy, it's full of flies."
"Where shall we go?"
Nie Qingcheng now listens to him completely; she would probably agree even if Zhang Yan said he wanted to go to Mars.
"Let's go somewhere where there's no one."
Zhang Yan pointed to the distant, undulating snow-capped mountains covered in primeval forests.
"Let me show you the 'Cheng Ying' off-road mode."
……
Half an hour later.
The all-black "Cheng Ying," resembling a futuristic warship, hovered at the back door of the Xueyun Hotel.
Zhang Yan got into the car and patted the back seat.
Nie Qingcheng had already changed into a windproof jacket and excitedly jumped up, hugging Zhang Yan tightly around the waist.
"Hold on tight."
Zhang Yan pressed the start button.
"Buzz—"
The pale blue tail flame created a ripple on the snow.
The next second, Cheng Ying transformed into a black lightning bolt and rushed directly into the restricted area surrounded by barbed wire.
That was the uninhabited area of Changbai Mountain.
There was no road, only waist-deep snow and towering ancient trees.
But for Chengying, which can levitate at a height of two meters, this is the best track.
Zhang Yan drove this steel beast through the forest.
The shadows of the trees receded rapidly.
Occasionally, startled wild deer and roe deer would run wildly across the snow, only to be instantly left behind by Cheng Ying.
"ah--!!!"
Nie Qingcheng took off her helmet, letting the cold wind tousle her long hair, and screamed wildly.
The adrenaline rush from this rapid pace excited her more than any business deal.
This is the taste of freedom.
This is the world Zhang Yan gave her.
I don't know how long it's been running.
The surrounding trees became sparser and the terrain became higher.
Suddenly, Zhang Yan jerked the front of the car.
Cheng Ying made a beautiful drift in the air and came to a steady stop at the edge of a cliff.
"arrive."
Zhang Yan turned off the engine.
By this time, it was completely dark.
A huge full moon hung overhead, illuminating the entire snowfield as if it were daytime.
But Nie Qingcheng's gaze was completely fixed on the scene before her.
"What...what is this?"
She covered her mouth in shock.
Below the cliff, in that huge basin surrounded by mountains.
It was not covered by snow.
On the contrary... it's lush and green!
It was a huge geothermal valley.
Countless plumes of hot air condensed into mist in the air, and deep within that mist, the outlines of some enormous man-made structures could be vaguely seen.
Those buildings don't look like modern creations.
It's more like... some kind of ancient, forgotten relic.
What made Nie Qingcheng's scalp tingle even more was...
In the center of those ruins stands a massive bronze pillar.
Something seemed to be coiled around the pillar.
Under the moonlight, it shimmered with the cold light characteristic of metal.
"Looks like we're in luck."
Zhang Yan squinted at the pillar, and the system in his mind suddenly started vibrating wildly.
[Ding! High-energy reaction detected!]
[Remains of Mohist Mechanical Arts Discovered – Tiangong Beiming!]
[Warning: Live mechanical beast reaction detected!]
A playful smile appeared on Zhang Yan's lips.
He turned his head, looked at the shocked Nie Qingcheng, and pointed down.
"Wife."
"It seems that there is more than just snow hidden in Changbai Mountain."
"Want to go down and see if it's a dragon or a worm?"
