“So, you refuse to let him go, Master Ding?” Bo Shan’s face was cast in shadow, the words seemed to squeeze through his
teeth.
Before Ding Gaolang could answer, Qiu Jinglong, sitting at his right hand, shouted at Bo Shan, “Didn’t my master say that? You
of the Tang Family should send someone to claim him! Are you deaf from all the beatings?”
Having a good disciple was really relieving. Ding Gaolang looked somewhat smug, shooting a contemptuous glance at Bo Shan.
Negotiations broke down.
Bo Shan’s heart raced, not because of the offensive words, but because of his hatred for Pang Van’s incompetence.
Having made such a big mistake, it was clear that the person truly in charge now was not Ding Gaolang, but the head of the Mi
Family behind him. Pang Yan’s status as a student of the Tang Martial Arts Hall would make the Tang Family lose a great deal of
face.
The only option now, Bo Shan thought, casting a deep look at Pang Yan who was kneeling on the ground.
“Old man, do you understand? You ought to go back and get someone from your Tang Family to claim him,” feeling Ding
Gaolang’s smugness, Qiu Jinglong continued to speak.
Without even looking at Qiu Jinglong, Bo Shan shouted at Ding Gaolang, “I want to speak with Pang Yan.”
Outraged that Bo Shan dared to ignore him, Qiu Jinglong snapped, “You’re really arrogant, aren’t you? I’ll take out your eyes!”
And he wanted to attack him immediately.
Bo Shan seemed to hear none of Qiu Jinglong’s words, his eyes still focused on Ding Gaolang, his stance unrelenting.
Qiu Jinglong was about to pounce on him.
“A-Long, come back.”
Ding Gaolang dared not let Qiu Jinglong really attack the instructor of the Tang Martial Arts Hall. Because if the Lunjiang Martial
Arts Hall dared to take the initiative to attack the instructor of Tang Martial Arts Hall, no matter how much backup they had, it
would be crushed by the Tang Family.
“Lucky for you, you cripple.” Hearing his master’s words, Qiu Jinglong stopped in his tracks, releasing the power from his fists
and retreating back to his seat. But his fierce gaze was still pinned on Bo Shan.
“I advise you not to have any foolish ideas. With your current strength, you have no ability to rescue anyone from me,
understand?” Ding Gaolang said indifferently, and signaled his other disciple.
Seeing Ding Gaolang’s gesture, Huai Chenghua, who had been sitting in front of Pang Yan, moved his chair away, leaving a
passageway for someone to walk through.
The young boy’s battered face and ragged clothes were revealed.
“Instructor Bo, save me! Please save me, Instructor Bo!” Pang Yan didn’t dare to make a sound until Ding Gaolang agreed to let
Bo Shan come and speak with him. He pleaded with Bo, who was walking from afar.
With a blank expression, Bo Shan came to Pang Yan, pulled his shoulder, and started to pull him up.
“What are you doing!” Seeing Bo Shan trying to touch Pang Yan, Huai Chenghua immediately stood up and swung a palm at
him.
Bo Shan’s face was stern as he turned around and landed a punch in Huai Chenghua’s palm. After three consecutive power
bursts, Huai Chenghua was blasted backwards and hit the wall behind him.
Ding Gaolang, who had been sitting at the high platform, saw Bo Shan daring to take action. His figure blurred and he appeared
next to Bo Shan in an instant. As he punched Huai Chenghua, Ding Gaolang swung a leg towards Bo Shan’s waist.
The whip-like kick, sharp as a battle-axe, came with a lethal force, aiming to split Bo Shan in half.
A sting appeared on Bo Shan’s waist, letting him understand that he couldn’t withstand this kick. He immediately shrunk his body
into a ball, turned around in the air, and used his knees and right elbow to counter Ding Gaolang’s kick. “Bang!” A loud explosion
sounded between Bo Shan and Ding Gaolang.
Seeing how Bo Shan could still block his attack in such a rushed situation, Ding Gaolang was somewhat impressed. But it was
far from enough.
“Rhino Horn Burst!”
Ding Gaolang retracted his right leg, the overflowing aggressive force was concentrated in one spot. At his knee, a protruding
sharp horn-like shape made a second attack at Bo Shan. Like the prow of a warship, it aimed to pierce through Bo Shan’s belly.
“Hundred Waves Palm!”
Bo Shan barely blocked the initial strike and already felt numb in his hands and feet. He knew he couldn’t withstand this attack
by any means. He channeled his spiritual energy into his palm, creating a hundred streams of power that continuously exploded.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!” The continuous bursting sound kept getting louder. Ding Gaolang’s knee hit the empty air as his
opponent was blown away by the recoil of the palm and arrived at a distance.
The brief exchange between the two was rich in martial arts insights, shocking Qiu Jinglong, who was about to rush forward.
“Instructor Bo Shan, you are good.” Ding Gaolang dispersed the power in his right leg and slowly put it down. He truly admired
this instructor from the Tang Family. Although his spiritual power was much weaker than his own, the way he responded in the
two exchanges was quite breathtaking. If it were not for the fact that his arm was missing, beating him wouldn’t be an easy task,
even with his peak mortal realm strength.
“You flatter me.” Bo Shan frowned, thinking to himself that this man’s leg attacks were powerful. Although he managed to keep a
distance with his Hundred Streams Palm, he still couldn’t completely miss the knee strike. It hit his lower abdomen, the force
penetrated his body, causing him considerable internal injuries.
“Didn’t you, Instructor Bo, want to have a chat with this lad? Go ahead.” Ding Gaolang sat back in his original seat and spoke
nonchalantly. A strong man deserved respect, even if he had his arm severed.
Bo Shan didn’t look at Ding Gaolang again. He walked straight over to Pang Yan and pulled him up.
Pang Yan, who had just stood up, hadn’t had a chance to speak when he was slapped across the face, leaving him stunned on
the spot.
“As a warrior of the Tang Clan, how dare you kneel before outsiders!” Bo Shan’s eyes were filled with anger. He despised Pang
Yan’s lack of spine.
Despite the pain, Pang Yan wept bitterly, “Master, I was wrong. Please save me, save me!”
He was, after all, only seventeen years old, and had grown up in the martial arts hall. How could he have anticipated the outside
world being so cruel?
Pang Yan was filled with regret. He was supposed to have a stable future. The competition in the training field was about to
begin, he would be selected by the branch families, becoming a guard or even a close attendant. But now, he was about to die,
and he did not want to die.
He had realized that if Bo Shan couldn’t rescue him, he was done for.
Who wants to die?
“You are a Tang Clan’ warrior, you can’t cry.” Bo Shan sighed, patting Pang Yan’s shoulder.
Entered the training arena at eleven, it’s been six years now, he watched this kid grow into a teenager.
But, do you know, Pang Yan, you’ve really gotten yourself into big trouble this time. Bo Shan’s eyes were filled with compassion
and regret. The future that Pang Yan should have, shouldn’t be this.
“Master Bo, I won’t cry, just save me, save me,” Pang Yan’s eyes were full of pleading.
“As a Tang Clan’s warrior, you must bring glory to the clan. Do you understand?” Bo Shan adjusted the clothes on Pang Yan’s
body with a somewhat regretful tone.
Pang Yan suddenly paused, his eyes full of fear swiftly blurred because tears had filled his eyes, falling uncontrollably.
He was gasping for breath, but still managed to respond difficultly: “Under… Understand…”
“That’s the spirit of my Tang warriors. Don’t be afraid.” Bo Shan lifted up the hair that was stuck to Pang Yan’s face with blood.
Pang Yan tried to open his eyes wide but saw nothing, and fear made his whole body tremble.
“Do you still remember the doctrine of my clan’s warriors?” Bo Shan asked, looking at Pang Yan, who stood straight but couldn’t
stop crying.
“Remem… Remember…” Pang Yan closed his eyes painfully, tears sliding down. “What is it?” Bo Shan’s right hand subtly
gathered strength.
Pang Yan took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and shouted, “Absolute! Loyalty!”
“Good!” Bo Shan’s heart ached with pain while he golfed at the same time, slammed his palm towards Pang Yan’s top of the
skull.
Although you made a mistake, at the last moment, you didn’t lose the dignity of our clan’s warriors. Good job, lad.
Bo Shan’s palm fell towards Pang Yan’s top of the skull. Just as he was about to kill him, someone else moved faster than him.
“Cloud Wave Kick!”
A pure white force smashed into Bo Shan’s body, the vast such that it tossed him mid-air, and finallycrashed into a pillar.
“Puff!” Bo Shan, who slid down, spat out a big mouthful of blood. The earlier internal injury plus this kick turned his complexion
pale.
Ding Gaolang retracted his fully extended right leg, and casually said, “Instructor Bo Shan, I told you to talk, not to kill. You really
do not take me seriously.”
Master Ding is mighty!
“Yes! You crippled man, continue your madness, go ahead, go crazy!” Qiu Jinglong looked at Bo Shan who was paralyzed
weakly on the ground, immediately felt revived.
He was really frightened previously. Huai Chenghua was his fellow clan member, and their martial arts skills were on par. Who
would have thought that this crippled guy could knock Huai Chenghua far away with one punch? Luckily, the hall master
persuaded him just now, otherwise, it would have been him flying away hastily.
He was deeply relieved, but seeing Bo Shan severely injured again, he couldn’t help but jump out again.
Pang Yan was already prepared to die, but he didn’t expect Bo Shan to be sent flying, his legs went soft and he sat on the
ground.
Ding Gaolang glanced at the young man who was paralyzed on the ground, and then at Bo Shan who was seriously injured in
the distance, then said to Qiu Jinglong: “Huai Chenghua, Ah Long, send Instructor Bo Shan back to the Tang Martial Arts Hall
and tell them ”
Suddenly, there was a violent shake of the ground.
“Rumble!”
“Rumble!”
“Rumble!”
The tremendous rumbling sound came from far and near, stuffing Ding Gaolang’s remaining words back into his mouth. In just a
flicker, the thunderous sound exploded in their ears.
“Bang!” The northern wall of the main hall suddenly burst open, and a golden-red figure collided with Ding Gaolang.
“Four-horse Gilded Chariot!” Ding Gaolang had already turned and retreated as the wall burst, facing the north, but he was still
shocked when he saw the culprit of the thunderous sound.
And the four spirit beasts, exuding spiritual flames, had already rushed in front of him.
The ferocious lion-tiger beast opened its gaping mouth. The red spiritual power was like a fire that enveloped its whole body, and
its thicker than a person’s front paw was raised high.
“Roar ” The lion-tiger beast’s huge paw stretched out its five blade-like
sharp claws and swept at Ding Gaolang, faster than a shooting star.
Ding Gaolang made all his efforts to retreat, but his clothes were torn by the beast’s claws, leaving four bloodstains on his chest.
But the chariot’s attack was far from over, and the three Suanni beasts were brewing red light in their mouths. The central Suanni
spat out the red light at Ding Gaolang, following the claws of the lion-tiger beast.
The red light exploded on Ding Gaolang’s chest, the tremendous heat burned his upper body, leaving his chest scorched and
bloody.
The massive impact blasted him to the wall, severely injured.
The other two Suanni beasts also spewed out a red light each, blasting Qiu Jinglong and Huai Chenghua away. In just a
moment, three Mortal Realm beings lost their ability to fight.
Fierce flames!
There were still three warriors in black armor standing on the front of the gilded war chariot, their ruthless eyes looked over the
entire hall, their hands brewing a powerful force, ready to unleash their combined attack skills.
Ding Gaolang spat out a mouthful of blood, the fierceness in his eyes completely disappearing, replaced by fear.
Every old person in Xiling knew this four-horse gilded chariot.
Becasue this is the First Head of the Tang Martial Arts Hall, Tang Sen’s vehicle.
The lavish war chariot stood quietly in the center of the main hall, through the large hole behind it, a passage destroyed by
burning could be seen. The chariot had pierced through the entire Lunjiang Martial Arts Arena and rushed straight into the hall!
The four ferocious spirit beasts exuded astonishing spiritual power, blowing up and crushing everything around them.
Ding Gaolang knelt on the ground, trembling all over, silent, knowing that his life and death now depended on the person inside
the chariot.
Even Bo Shan and Pang Yan were horrified and speechless at the sight of the power of these two chariots.
No one made a sound, only the sound of blazing fire and the snorting of the lion-tiger beast..
