Chapter 199 - 199: 195: With a Pleasant Countenance

Over a hundred years ago, the Cao Family moved to Xiling not to take over a graveyard, but their leader at that time went straight to the Tang and Mi clans, intending to seize the position of the overlord of Xiling!

What the Cao Family relied on were the three great power bodies–the Drought Demon’s Body, the Late Minister’s Resentful Body, and the General’s Slayer Body!

These three bodies, honed with the energy of death, were not just impervious to blades and spears, they also possessed various mysterious abilities. The Cao Family, equipped with these three power bodies, considered themselves invincible and directly confronted the Tang Clan, demanding that they give up North City.

And then came the duel between the two clans. In that battle, Drought Demon Cao Kuang was annihilated, Late Minister Cao Lu was crippled, and only General Cao Yanbin managed to hold up, resulting in a terrible defeat for the Cao Family.

Afterward, Cao Yanbin negotiated for peace, paying a tremendous amount of money to allow the Cao Family to settle down in Xiling.

Although the Cao Family started their journey in Xiling with such a failure, no clan dared to underestimate them because the three great bodies of the Cao Family were truly stunning. The fire from the Drought Demon could burn heaven and earth, the Late Minister could transform the earth into a swamp, and, most importantly, the General, whose defense was unparalleled. He could transform the energy of death into essence blood, with extremely strong recovery capabilities, almost immortal.

Even the First Head of the Martial Hall of the Tang Clan acknowledged that Cao Yanbin was one of the top five warriors in Xiling.

And then the Cao Family thrived in Xiling. Everyone thought that after steady development, there would be a group of General’s Slayer Bodies emerging from the Cao family. But after a full hundred years, the descendants of the Cao Family who possessed the General’s slayer body could not even be counted on one’s fingers. To see it today in a young Cao Family member who had just metamorphosed from the Mortal Realm, how could people not be surprised?

All they saw was the standing corpse, which suddenly moved, shaking off the ashes all over it, opening its eyes, and light bursting out. Then it bellowed in a booming voice, “You’re burning me to death!”

The recovery ability of the General’s Slayer Body is indeed strong, but that does not mean it won’t hurt. Just now, the temperature of the spiritual flame could melt iron and stone. Cao Yi only felt like millions of small knives stabbing his body at the same time. Despite his fierce toughness, he couldn’t help but shout out loud.

But once the fire was extinguished, he felt a chill at the top of his head and underneath him, so he covered his lower body with his left hand, and touched his head with his right hand. He paused for a moment, then shouted angrily, “You bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

The spiritual flame had not only burned off his clothes, but also all his hairs. No wonder his left hand felt so strange!

Looking at Cao Yi’s vitality as if nothing had happened, Yuan Zhun definitely knew that the other party had cultivated a strong body. He calmly said, “You’ve already taken an arrow. Do you want to challenge the current Conduct of the Xu Clan?”

Cao Yi, covering his crotch with his left hand and his butt with his right hand, shouted angrily, “Screw the fight!”

He had never been so embarrassed in his life, being exposed naked in the martial arts arena in front of tens of thousands of people. He wished he was dead, regretting that he had not listened to his uncle’s advice and brought his spiritual armor with him. Now he finally understood why martial artists who travel outside always wear their armor. These gorgeous long robes are just too fragile. They break as soon as they move and tear when they fight. The only consequence of not wearing armor in a battle is to become a naked man.

Fortunately, Cao Yi didn’t come alone to the Martial Hall. There were many warriors from his clan. Several people flew down from the grandstand and quickly came to the stage, clumsily wrapping the clothes in their hands around CaoYi.

Yuan Zhun looked at the embarrassed Cao Yi and asked again, “Do you want to challenge the Conduct of the Xu Clan!?”

After dressing, Cao Yi pushed away several clansmen, pointed at Yuan Zhun, and shouted, “Is this your Xu Clan’s way of challenging Xiling by using these despicable tricks!?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhun’s expression darkened, and he pulled out a bow from his back quiver, drew it to its full length, and aimed the arrow directly at Cao Yi’s throat.

Anyone who insulted the Xu Clan should die! This was the simplest rule in his heart.

“Uncle Zhun, wait!” Xu Lao Ying spoke lightly. This was the first sentence he had spoken in two days. The young swordsman in white clothes took to the arena for the first time. Yuan Zhun respectfully put away his bow and stepped aside.

Looking at Cao Yi’s unruly appearance, Xu Lao Ying calmly said, “Speak your reason, and you may live. Insult the Xu Clan, and your whole family will die.”

The king would act like a king, the tyrant would act like a tyrant, and the son of the saintly family would follow the way of the saint.

What is the way of the king? Kill those who do not obey.

What is the way of the tyrant? Kill even those who obey.

What is the way of the saint? If you’re arrogant and can’t make a point, I’ll kill your whole family!

As a Wanderer of the Xu Clan, Xu Lao Ying was responsible for spreading the fame of the Xu Clan. When faced with such a challenge from a challenger, he must respond because only he can represent the Xu Clan.

But Cao Yi didn’t buy it, spat, and shouted, “First get a Metamorphosing Archer of unity of spirit and intent. Accepting his arrow then allows you to challenge you. He also uses a sort of archery technique that can burn out your spiritual power. You Xu Clan are good calculators. First, drain the spiritual power of your opponent and then duel with you, achieving your dominance over the five hundred counties of Longzhou. If you play like this, I don’t doubt you’re invincible under Fierce Realm!”

The spiritual fire just before did not burn him to death, but it did explode most of his spiritual power. To fight a well-prepared warrior in this state, even if he loses, he won’t accept it. He thinks he has seen through the tricks of the Xu Clan, so he wants to expose the Xu Clan’s despicable tricks.

As soon as Xu Lao Ying heard Cao Yi’s words, he understood his logic.

He turned his head to look at the warriors on the viewing platform. Seeing the thoughtful faces on the viewing platform, he knew that this crowd had accepted Cao Yi’s point of view, thinking that arranging Yuan Zhun on stage was to consume the challenger’s spiritual power.

This is just… too laughable. Xu Lao Ying turned his head and couldn’t help but chuckle at seeing Yuan Zhun’s bewildered face.

When facing inexplicable slander, the son of the Xu Clan would be angry. But when faced with ignorance and idiocy, the Xu Clan’s upbringing taught him to be tolerant.

So Xu Lao Ying looked at Cao Yi and explained, “You might, not quite understand the meaning of the Arrow Challenge.”

“If you have to exhaust most of your spiritual power to take an arrow, then you shouldn’t have come up to this stage.”

“But now that I think about it, you do have a point. After all, how could anyone who has never seen the sea understand its boundlessness?”

“Let’s do this! All the warriors who have taken an arrow, go home and recover. When you’re fully recovered, come back and challenge together.”

Xu Lao Ying’s kindly face, however, was hateful in Cao Yi’s eyes. Despite his calm face, who couldn’t hear the contempt in his tone?

Cao Yi shouted angrily, “No need to recover, just let me restore my spiritual power, and I can fight you!”

He had cultivated the most difficult General’s Slayer Body of the Cao Family, keeping a low profile just to gain a reputation at the first Martial Arts Tournament in Xiling. But before that, it wouldn’t hurt to lay a foundation for his fame by defeating the young prodigy of the Xu Clan either.

Because whether the opponent was the son of the Xu Clan or a disciple from the Martial Saint Mountain, he didn’t believe they would be stronger than him, let alone the fact that the son before him seemed to be more than a decade younger than him.

Facing Xu Lao Ying’s scornful words, he was already impatient to start this duel!
