Chapter 229 - Two Hundred and Twenty-Five: Unforgettable
On the 29th day of the second month in the year 1780 of the Longzhou calendar, this was a day that martial artists of Xiling will never forget.
After an absence of two days, the young master of the Xu clan has appeared again, but this time, he didn’t kill anyone.
The Promising Son who slain four hundred mortals within a month seemed to have changed his temperament, he respects each of the challengers who signed a challenge letter, and then allow them to perform their best.
At first, the audience thought he was scared, they excitedly cheered for the renowned warriors on the stage, hoping that these well-known warriors of Xiling could wash away the one-month continuous defeat humiliation in a fight.
However, when the strongest tricks of the warriors were easily dodged by Xu Lao, and they retaliated with a flurry of sword qi, everyone knew, how powerful this walking monk from the sacred land was.
Even though these warriors have used their life-saving secret methods, they are still inhumane under the sword rain and then fell, while Xu Lao’s spiritual power seems to be inexhaustible, fighting 133 rounds in a single afternoon, crushing all the opponents who had been under pressure for two days.
People suddenly realized that the highly-reputed Xiling Warriors were no different from the average Mortal Realm warriors.
At least not in front of the Xu clan’s son.
Still looking untouched by dirt, with peach blossom eyes, the young master of the Xu clan seems like the hundreds of battles brought him no trouble, “Any more challenges? If not, I will go back for dinner.”
In the midst of the muteness of the whole audience, Xu Lao ended the challenge of the day, and this time, the warriors of Xiling were really panicked.
They originally thought that these veterans would have a hard time upholding their reputation, at least could have fought back and forth, but the result was that they were beaten up like children.
If these veterans were defeated, who could resist the son of the Xu clan.
But for Tang Luo, who has watched the battles seriously all afternoon, these so-called Xiling veterans are truly not pleasing to the eye.
“Let me tell you, these people definitely do not represent the standard of Xiling warriors.”
On his way back, Tang Luo explained bitterly to Xu Lao, because he felt that it was really a disgrace.
But Xu Lao did not buy his words at all, he casually replied: “I feel that it completely represents it.”
As a person who has removed more than 500 challenges from the Xiling warriors, he feels that he has more sayings about the standard of Xiling martial arts than closed-door Tang Luo.
The fighters that appeared today are clearly stronger than those earlier challengers by a large margin.
A lot of challengers from earlier couldn’t even withstand his several thousand innate invisible body-breaking sword qi, but the challengers that appeared today could not only withstand but also have the power to counterattack. Even though they eventually lost under millions of sword intents, this strength was more than twice as much.
However, for a warrior with an attack of 10,000 points, whether you can withstand a 2,000-point attack or a 6,000-point, there isn’t much difference.
It’s also rather unlucky for these Xiling veterans, if they had met with the wanderers from other sacred lands today, it wouldn’t be a problem to fight a few rounds.
However, the ultimate sword scripture is the first killing technique in all the major sacred lands, and the Xu sword training is recognized by all the major sacred lands as the strongest sword technique, this gave Xu Lao a logical victory.
“Forget it, when the warriors of the Tang clan are on the ring, you’ll know.” Tang Luo didn’t bother to correct with Xu Lao, because the face of the Xiling warriors was completely disgraced by the named veterans who took the stage today.
“Huh?” Xu Lao was shocked: “Are you also going to send someone to the ring to fight me? Aren’t we relatives?”
He gave Xu Lao a disgusted look, Tang Luo felt that this man has IQ_problems. “You challenged and then left, but the Tang clan has to stay in Xiling. Everyone is on stage to challenge, only the Tang clan don’t. After you leave, wouldn’t our backbone be pierced by others?”
“Don’t forget that there’s the Mi Family in Xiling. If they send a warrior on stage and fight emotionally, if they die in the end, the Mi clan will become the hero of Xiling, and the Tang clan will become the lowly villain. At that time, everyone will stand on the side of the Mi clan, what should the Tang clan do.”
“So the Tang clan will definitely send someone to the stage.” Tang Luo was very sure this was a step the family needed to take. Xu Lao’s challenge meant to conquer Longzhou, once it started, it would not stop. But in this challenge, if ninety-nine of the hundred families in a city were defeated by signing a challenge letter, and only one was not, this kind of shrewdness is undoubtedly stupid.
Xu Lao thoughtfully stroked his chin: “Then I know.” Suddenly, his eyes brightened: “Hey! Should I give some water to your family’s warriors and let you lose gracefully?”
“Hehe.” Tang Luo smiled dryly, knowing that the performance of the Xiling gentleman today had completely lost Xu Lao’s expectations of the standard of Xiling martial arts, so he would say such words.
As for why these people could become Xiling veterans, in simple terms, it was due to peer contrast.
Xiling has been a city of peace for hundreds of years. This kind of peace has eaten away the fighting spirit of most family warriors. They no longer live on the edge of life and death, they don’t need to fight and fight with others. Because of the ban in Xiling, they don’t even have to worry about their family grounds being attacked.
This is indeed a good thing, but the loss of a sense of crisis also made these warriors lose their ambition. Why are there so many arenas in Xiling? It is because there are many idle warriors.
In other cities, they are fighting every day. Today a force appears, tomorrow bandits come, and whether they can eat or not is unclear, but there are battles to fight every day.
One battle-hardened, one only has some experience in the ring, the strong and weak combat power is clear at a glance.
So these so-called elders, most of them were born in the ring, the famous reputations they stormed were also the reputation of the ring. The common people can’t distinguish the strength of the Mortal Realm warriors. As long as some people say he is powerful, he is truly powerful.
Regarding the reputation, most of it is exaggerated after being passed on, and a one-point strength can also be bragged about eight points, like the fighters of the veterans on the stage today, perhaps even Ying Hongyuan can’t beat them. But who knows who Ying Hongyuan is.
Just as the two returned to their mansion, Chang Fu was already waiting at the mansion gate.
Tang Luo’s eyes lit up when he saw him, “Uncle Fu, long time no see!”
Chang Fu bowed with a smile: “The old servant sees the young master, sees the young nephew..”
