Tang Luo looked into the distance at the calligraphy hanging at the stall, squinting his eyes, “Such excellent handwriting shouldindeed be seen by more people.”
The two men walked up to the stall. Mi Bai had just finished writing a scroll of calligraphy. He lifted his head. His face, as gentleas jade, was full of joy.
“Brother Xu, Brother Tang.” Mi Bai put down his brush, sincerely greeted the two men, his voice extremely gentle.
“Eh...eh!” Xu Lao Ying changed his solemn expression immediately, he would always be happy whenever he saw Mi Bai’scalligraphy. However, he felt slightly uncomfortable with the title, “Old Bai, we are of the same generation. How can you call methe same as this little kid?”
Agiant “Well” mark appeared on the back of Tang Luo’s head. If spiritual power wasn’t so precious, he would want to have agood fight with this dolt who couldn’t converse well, to show him the progress he had made over the past ten days!
“Brother Xu is joking.” Mi Bai said with a smile. “Brother Tang has saved my life and he’s also a renowned genius in Xiling. It’salready a stretch for me to consider him a peer, let alone to overstep.”
Listen, there’s a huge difference between someone who can speak well and someone who can’t. Tang Luo nodded insatisfaction and replied, “You're too kind, Brother Bai.”
With a smile, Mi Bai replied to Tang Luo then turned his head to ask Xu Lao Ying, “Brother Xu, you're early today. Do you haveany matters to discuss?”
“Yes yes yes!” Xu Lao Ying stopped brooding over the issue of how Tang Luo was addressed, and excitedly told Mi Bai, “I plan tohold a contest on a stage, and write a pair of couplets on a pillar. | would like Brother Mi to help me write.”
With an agreeing smile, Mi Bai said, “That’s easy. Do you have a draft for the couplets?” He might not be able to help with thefight, but anything related to calligraphy, he was never reluctant to assist.
Xu Lao Ying nodded and said modestly, “I’ve already prepared it. It’s just a simple introduction about myself.”Mi Bai took out a piece of white paper and asked, “Write down the couplets first. I'll write a few styles for you to choose from.”
“Yes yes yes, | will write the couplets for you now!” Xu Lao Ying was ecstatic. He picked up a brush and wrote on the white paperthe introductory couplets he had thought of.novelbin
The first line reads: Who in the five hundred counties of Longzhou can withstand?The second line reads: Xu Lao Ying is unrivaled in the Fierce RealmThe horizontal batch reads: All are Weak.
“The hell, this is your self-introduction?!” Tang Luo’s eyelid started twitching. If this couplet is hung up, wouldn’t every martialartist with a bit of a fighting spirit, who is still in the Mortal Realm, want to take a shot at him?
He could already envision the mournful scene in Xiling a month later. The cruel reality was the most capable of bringing despairand coldness. When they realize that one person from the Saint Clan can fight off hundreds of their own kind, would thesemartial artists still have the determination to become stronger? How many undefeated martial artists from Xiling would have theirconfidence brutally crushed?
This couplet by Xu Lao Ying is not just a simple self-introduction but also a provocation for the martial artists of Xiling to fight.Mi Bai saw the couplet and couldn't help but smile bitterly, “Brother Xu... this couplet, isn’t it... too arrogant?”“Eh...eh!” Xu Lao Ying waved his hand, seriously saying, “It’s already very modest!”
If it weren’t for seeing the way Tang Sen acted in plain sight, he would want to change it to “Unrivalled under the King Realm” toproperly meet the martial artists of the Fierce Realm in Xiling.
At noon
Li Shao Yuan, leading a group of warriors clad in armor, rushed towards the abandoned farm on the western outskirts. The non-evolved him, rode ahead of the group on a black cloud beast.
The reason for his urgency was of course not because he liked to show off, but because he was eager, having already seen thescene where his spiritual armor was taken off and then presented to Mi Hou.
As Mi Hou’s first vassal, he felt that his purpose was to turn the Houfu into a truly influential force in Xiling. It was just his luckthat he had a master who had lost his ambition, making it difficult for him to reach his goal.
Secretly supporting the Righteous Gang was not his ideal, it was merely a means to gather wealth for the Houfu. As for howmany households it would ruin and lives destroyed, he was not too concerned.
Gaining more wealth, turning the wealth into real martial power for the Houfu, and then using this power to snatch more wealth,was his idea of an ideal cycle.
Gong Zheng stood in the middle of the deserted fields of the abandoned farm. He watched the cloud beast come closer andcloser, and how more than ten martial artists had encircled him.
On each side of Li Shao Yuan stood a peak martial artist from the Mortal Realm, staring at him menacingly.
“Gang Leader Gong, you really have hidden yourself well. | admire it.” Li Shao Yuan dismounted the cloud beast and stopped ata place not far from Gong Zheng and said.
Gong Zheng smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Li, you really came.”
Yesterday, Tang Luo told him that as long as he showed his spiritual armor, the next time they met, this first vassal of the Houfuwould come in person. Honestly speaking, he did not believe it.
Even when the Righteous Gang was at its peak, this Mr. Li had appeared twice before, not only resolving the huge crisis at thetime but also causing a rise in the strength of the Righteous Gang.
So, he believed that Tang Luo, although famous in Xiling and had extraordinary points, in terms of strategy and management, henaturally still admired Li Shao Yuan more. He found it hard to believe that such a wise man would be predicted every step of theway.
But seeing him really appear here, Gong Zheng had profound respect for Tang Luo in his heart. Because with their arrival, itmeant that his wife and daughter were half saved.
Go back in time a little, two figures, one tall and one short, stood high in the sky above the deserted farm.
The tall one stood on a sword of air, while the shorter one stood in the air. They both looked down at the ground where severalsmall dots were slowly approaching the farm.
“Little brother, we can go down now, right?” Xu Lao Ying looked eager and asked Tang Luo.“No hurry, wait until they get closer before you go.” Tang Luo scratched his chin and replied.
Of course, the task of initiating theattack should be left to Xu Lao Ying,who could crush thefig@ han@rdd'cqunticSo? Bngz ou. After all,should he, whose spiritual powerdecreases with every use, take thelead? The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
So, his job was to wait for the right time, release Old Ying, and then sit back and wait for the rewards.For the first time, he realized how delightful it was to have a powerful martial artist by his side.
When he saw Li Shao Yuan and his men surround Gong Zheng, a cold light flashed in Tang Luo’s eyes and he shouted, “Gonow!”
And just as he was speaking, Li ShaoYuan on the ground heard GonZheng's seemingly Vatelated”résponse. He suddenly felt a surge ofpanic and shouted, “There’s anambush, retreat quickly!” The contentis on NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
His reaction was not slow, but ultimately, it was still too late. This defeat was inevitable from the moment they left the city.
Air was filled with swords and wails, several thousand “Innate Body Destroyer” invisible swords fell like rain onto the group ofmartial artists.
Hearing Li Shao Yuan's shout, thegroup of martial artists instinctivelyraised their body protectiontechniques, using qe for dAysiealbpdyarta Gaing force for spiritualbody. In this group of martial artists’understanding, such defense wasabsolutely safe, unless theyencountered a combined attacktechnique, otherwise, they would notbe instantly killed.

But could such simple and common logic apply to Xu Lao Ying?
Seeing that those on the ground actually wanted to withstand it hard with body-protecting true energy instead of blocking it withspiritual power, Xu Lao Ying looked disdainful.
“Ignorant..”
