Chapter 65: Entering the Taihang Mountains

  Luo Cheng looked at the edge of the pond, those robust figures revealed evil smiles!

  "Alright, although the foundation is still relatively weak, it's barely passable. I'll give you the qualifications to be under me."

  "How dare you, what qualifications do you have to make us listen to you."

  "Don't think that just because you're a strong warrior we'll be afraid of you. There are so many of us, are we still supposed to be afraid of just one person?"

  "We're all just underlings of the young master, nothing more than underlings of the young master!"

  Many people were boiling with rage, and everyone glared at Luo Cheng. If an ordinary martial king was stared down by so many powerful warriors close to the martial king, he would definitely not be able to remain calm. Unfortunately, Luo Cheng was no ordinary martial king.

  Xu Hua and Hei Pao stood on one side, smiling as they watched the scene unfold. Immediately, someone thought that this might be the young master's intention, but since the young master didn't come forward to stop it, he must have had his own thoughts.

  Many people thought in their hearts: "Even if you were appointed by the prince, you must let us see what qualifications you have to lead us!"

  "It's useless to talk, let me see your strength!" Luo Cheng shouted, descending onto the ground!

  "Brothers, go and get him!"

  Step! Step! Step!

  They swarmed up like savages, and Luo Cheng lightly rolled up his sleeves, everything was so calm and gentle, as if washing hands before eating!

  Just as a group of barbarians were about to close in, Luo Cheng finally made his move. As soon as he did, Hei Pao and Xu Hua discovered that several Luo Chengs had suddenly appeared, but they quickly faded away one by one!

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Watching those burly men fall one by one, watching Luo Cheng darting through the crowd like a ghost, Hei Pao couldn't help but exclaim: "What incredible speed!"

  Xu Hua smiled and said, "Since Luo Cheng said he has the strength to kill Wu Huang in his early days, then he must have such strength. I think he hasn't used even 50% of his strength yet. If that's the case, I can do it too!"

  Hei Pao fell silent, but in his heart he muttered: "This is indeed a monster, my current strength has already reached the peak of the late Wu Wang period, but compared to Gongzi, it's still so far apart..."

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Those sturdy men fell down and got up again, Luo Cheng's hands had a measure of their own, naturally they wouldn't be seriously injured, at most making them feel intense pain! These men gritted their teeth, endured the agony, and once again charged towards that strange young man who emerged from the crowd as if he was invincible!

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

  Those who got up, no matter how many times they were knocked down to the ground by Luo Cheng's single move. At this moment, Luo Cheng was also hit by these guys, but their thousand-pound strength had no effect on him!

  Perhaps he was tired of fighting, or perhaps he didn't want to play anymore. Suddenly, several strands of crimson light appeared around Luo Cheng and began to spread out in all directions!

  "What's going on? I feel like all the blood in my body is about to burst out!"

  "I feel like I'm paralyzed, I can't control my own body!"

  Everyone was shocked and frightened by this sudden scene! What kind of means is this? Is it all the doing of that young man with an unusual appearance in front of us? Is he still human?

  "Are you convinced now? If I want to, all of you will die with your blood drained out!" Luo Cheng suddenly burst forth with a powerful aura of intimidation. Those robust men, like savages, fell to the ground one by one. The heavy atmosphere made these already exhausted savages unable to get up again!

  Everyone looked at the young man in front of them, who was like a god or a demon, and no one could muster up the desire to fight again!

  "We surrender! However, we are all under the command of Young Master, even if you want to be our leader, it requires Young Master's approval!" Everyone looked at Xu Hua.

  Xu Hua smiled faintly and said: "What's wrong, are you dissatisfied with the leader I found for you?"

  "We're satisfied!"

  At this time, Luo Cheng said: "I am also under the young master's command, but you people are not qualified to be under the young master's command, so you have become my subordinates! Of course, you don't count as my subordinates yet, you just have the qualifications to become my subordinates. Wanting to become my subordinates, this bit of strength is not enough!"

  Among these people, most of them used to be beggars. However, the life they have lived for several months has made them feel very fulfilled. They like this feeling and also deeply respect the young master who brought them a different life. In their hearts, they have long regarded themselves as under the young master's command. At this time, someone actually said that they didn't have this qualification! They really can't bear it, but thinking of the other party's strength and identity, they find it hard to argue back!

  "We will definitely be under the young master's command! Definitely!" Many people roared.

  "Alright, very good, I'm waiting for that day!" Luo Cheng looked at these people with a satisfied smile! Immediately he said: "Tomorrow I will take you to a paradise of the strong, all those whose physical strength reaches 800 jin or more can go, as for those who have not yet reached it, just wait for the next opportunity! Remember that is a paradise for the strong, but also a graveyard for the weak! Your only task is to find a way to become stronger and survive! I hope to see you again in the future!"

  "I can go! I will definitely survive, I will definitely become a strong one!"

  "Hey, I've only been here for a month and my physical strength is only 400 jin, I'm not even qualified to go, I really envy you guys!"

  "Today I'm giving you a holiday, get ready for the cruel life that starts tomorrow!" After saying that, Luo Cheng went back to Xu Hua's side.

  "Luò Chéng, you're doing great! Looks like they're all fired up now!" Xú Huá chuckled and said. Then he added: "Let's go, we'll grab a drink!"

  The three of them left the restricted area, and He Tao and Lu Zhen immediately made arrangements for the three of them.

  At the wine table, Xu Hua and Luo Cheng seemed extremely happy, without any restraint, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. This made Hei Pao a little envious, but Xu Hua and Luo Cheng were almost the same age anyway, which was something he couldn't compare to!

  "The young master actually gave up on the imperial examination?"

  "As long as the young master understands, this world is after all a world where the strong are respected, and everything still needs to be proven with strength!"

  Drinking wine, the two chatted freely and also heard about some new characters. Niu Daqi, Zhui Changfeng, Hei Lian, Xuan Yuan, Xuan Ziying, Niu Wushu, Feng Wuxie, Wu Ding Haoran...

  "Damn it! That Long Feng actually dared to kill the young master, next time I meet him, I'll make him pay! And that Luo Shan Pai, once I become a powerful martial artist, I'll wipe them all out!"

  "You're not bad, Black Robe. You've become one of the four major powers in Mount Lao Tie. I remember when we first met, you were just a general from Qing Feng Village, and at that time, you even wanted to kill me and Young Master..."

  The three of them drank a lot and didn't know when they each went back to their rooms to sleep.

  The next day, Hei Pao informed He Tao and Lu Zhen that they would be leaving. Afterwards, the three of them led over 300 people through the Shui Tan into the underwater cave, leaving Jiuzhaigou behind.

  Nowadays, Jiuzhaigou has recovered the territories of Qingfengzhai, Sanhuanzhai and Liuyunzhai. As for Heitaozhai, Wujizhai and Dongqingzhai, He Tao and Lu Zhen led a large number of Jiuzhaigou members to collect wealth from these three strongholds, but Jiuzhaigou did not take over the three territories!

  These days, Jiuzhaigou has gained a lot of cultivation resources. Almost all members of Jiuzhaigou have been allocated some, and the overall strength of Jiuzhaigou's members is slowly increasing.

  As for the Twelve Unions, they are all busy integrating the power of the original twelve villages and are too busy to take care of Jiuzhaigou!

  ……

  On the edge of the Taihang Mountains! A large pool of water suddenly floated out a figure, it was Xu Hua and his party!

  "Is this the Taihang Mountains? I didn't expect that we would actually come here!" The entire Tianxuan Continent almost knows about the Taihang Mountains!

  "So we've finally arrived here! But that's right, the Taihang Mountains are indeed infested with ferocious beasts, but isn't this exactly what we wanted? It's because of these beast meats that we can gain such power in a short amount of time! I think the beasts here are our real target!"

  Xu Huadao said: "You're thinking correctly, as long as you have enough demon beast meat, each and every one of you can become a strong expert comparable to Wu Huang. However, demon beasts are not easy to kill, even if it's just a first-stage demon beast, its power is no weaker than yours. As for the second-stage demon beast meat you ate before, don't think about it for now, second-stage demon beasts are existences that can instantly kill you, they're not something you can defeat!"

  "Indeed, Hei Pao, Luo Cheng and I can kill second-grade demonic beasts, or even third-grade ones. However, we won't help you! You can only rely on yourselves. You can form a team to go kill the demonic beasts together, then bring them back for cultivation!"

  "This is our base camp, and over there is a cave where you can stay. You can also rest nearby! There are no monsters here, so don't worry!"

  "Now you go and take a look around here!"

  Those over 300 people cheered and climbed ashore one by one, starting to explore and get familiar with their future base!

  Xu Hua asked Luo Cheng: "Is your method of controlling blood effective against third-tier demon beasts?"

  "Don't worry, even a fourth-order demon beast will have some effect, but a fourth-order demon beast is not something we can kill at present. The three of us going to hunt third-order demon beasts will be enough. With the three of us taking action, a third-order demon beast will definitely have no chance of survival! Moreover, this is just the outer periphery of the Taixing Mountains, I'm afraid third-order demon beasts are not common here either, we must go deeper!"

  "Then let's dive in! However, if the three of us leave, these people won't be able to get help even if something unexpected happens, so I'll stay behind for now!" The man in black said calmly.
