Chapter 82: A Single Word Sends Them Retreating

  Time is forever the greatest nemesis of warriors, no matter how formidable you are, you can't stop the passage of time. Time is also a law, but it's the most supreme law, said to be a forbidden taboo that only gods can control.

  Three days passed in a flash, and Xu Hua, who had been recuperating for three whole days at a certain place in the Taihang Mountains, finally recovered.

  Hoo-hoo!

  He opened his eyes, let out a long white breath, and slowly got up. He stretched his lower body slightly, feeling stiff all over after three days of not moving.

  "Hooray!"

  A series of creaking sounds between the bones rang out, and Xu Hua felt much more comfortable.

  "Master, your injury has healed?" Luo Cheng asked with a smile beside Xu Hua.

  The trees around the two were completely devoid of any greenery, clearly having had their life force extracted by Xu Hua. There was also a fair amount of white powder scattered about, which was the ashes of the demonic beasts. Over the past three days, many fearless demonic beasts had come to provoke the duo, but none had escaped being killed by Luo Cheng, who then extracted their blood. Afterwards, Xu Hua used the "Life-Draining Technique" to absorb the remaining life force, resulting in a thick pile of white powder accumulating here.

  "If it gets any worse, I'm afraid my bones will rust." Xu Hua said jokingly, then looked around at the dead silence and said, "Let's get out of here!"

  "Where to go?" Luo Cheng really didn't know where to go. The original plan was to return to Qing Shan Town, but the two of them only knew one road. On that road, they were ambushed, and they weren't sure if there would still be people waiting for their appearance.

  Xu Hua thought for a moment and said, "We're already lost, so let's just wander around the Taihang Mountains. Let's consider it a training session! We definitely won't be able to return in a short period of time."

  "It was those six people!" Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and said, then immediately added: "This vendetta must be avenged!"

  "They are just a bunch of lackeys, even if we kill them, there will be another batch. Either don't kill, or kill cleanly!"

  Although it was said lightly, Luo Cheng could feel the chilling killing intent in Gongzi's words, and he understood that Gongzi was now serious. After all, anyone who had been hunted down so miserably would also be furious.

  "My current strength is still far from enough, it seems I need to seize the time to cultivate." Luo Cheng and the other person walked forward slowly, "In the past few days, although I was also cultivating, most of the time was spent perfecting my Blood God Body, and very little was actually used for cultivation!"

  "I think the Blood God Body isn't that perfect either, otherwise the Blood Saint wouldn't be stuck at the Small Completion Peak. The top priority now is to improve my strength, otherwise if I get killed, all the accumulated power will go to waste."

  As they spoke, the two had already walked a long way into the forest. Ahead of them in the woods, a tall black bear was devouring its food with big mouthfuls. The eyes of the two instantly converged on this black bear, and a hint of an evil smile flashed across Luo Cheng's face. The hunt had officially begun.

  Ahh~ Ahh~!

  The five-zhang tall black bear also discovered the two, and suddenly let out a roar, warning them to leave. However, Xu Hua and Luo Cheng had already rushed forward, with "Sheng Sheng Gong" and "Blood God Classic" operating at full capacity.

  This black bear is a powerful third-order demon beast known for its strength, and may have already approached the critical point of crossing the Thunder Tribulation. Its body's power is extremely terrifying. In terms of strength, it should exceed that of an ordinary early-stage Martial Emperor human martial artist, yet the two of them treated it as their target.

  The more powerful the demon beast is, the stronger the energy of its blood and the more abundant its vital energy are, which are all what they need.

  Although the power of this black bear has surpassed Xu Hua, it has not yet crossed the Thunder Tribulation to become a fourth-order demon beast. Luo Cheng's ability to control blood still has a great effect on it.

  Just as Xuhua was about to use the "Thunder Fist" against the black bear, they exchanged a palm strike and both retreated one step. Xuhua felt his arm go numb from the shock, almost breaking, so he stopped entangling with the black bear. He dodged the black bear's attacks and secretly absorbed the life energy within its body.

  After fighting for half a day, the black bear found that it couldn't hit those two little bugs at all, and immediately turned around and ran away!

  Astonished...

  Xu Hua and Luo Cheng were both stunned on the spot, was this still a bear?

  Didn't the book say that bears are all stupid? They only have brute strength?

  Get out of here, you idiot! You and your whole family are idiots! This bear is smarter than most monsters. It ran away as soon as it couldn't hit anyone, and even abandoned its own food.

  "This bear has become a spirit!" Xu Hua finally managed to squeeze out this one sentence.

  Watching the black bear flee quickly, both of them gave up chasing it. The bear's running speed was not slow either.

  "Are there no ferocious beasts in the Taihang Mountains?"

  The two quickly left here, looking for new prey.

  Qingshan Town! A very ordinary small town in Luocheng, but recently there have been several big things happening.

  The first thing was that Miss Zhou left home alone. The second thing is that a large number of external strong men came to Qing Shan Town today, and they fell from the sky one by one, bringing great shock to the local people.

  "Being able to fly, this is at least during the late Wu Wang period!"

  "Why are there so many strong people coming to our small Qing Shan Town?!"

  "The strongest masters of the Xu, Zhou and Qian families in Qing Shan Town are only at the early stage of Wu Wang, this time so many powerful warriors have come, it's unknown whether it's good or bad luck!"

  Many people in Qing Shan Town are discussing it, but they are too weak and don't even have the qualifications to get close to these people.

  Above Xu's mansion, several figures appeared in the sky, and in an instant, all members of the Xu family looked at these people.

  There were three people in this row, one of whom was a handsome young man wearing white clothes. The two old men stood behind him. At this time, one of the old men said to the lower side: "Where is the master of the lower side? My son has come and hasn't come out to greet him. Is it that he looks down on my son?"

  "This is bad! These people are here looking for trouble, what should we do? They seem even more fierce than the master of the house!"

  "What should we do now?!"

  Inside the Xu Mansion, many maidservants, guards and family members looked up at the three figures in the sky, discussing them cautiously.

  Just then, a loud shout came from Xu's mansion: "Get out!"

  The sound echoed throughout Qing Shan Town, and whoever it was heard this voice clearly. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

  "This voice is coming from the direction of the Xu mansion, it seems that the Xu family is going to get involved with these people!"

  "I don't know where Xu Fu got the confidence and so many strong people to resist! Isn't he afraid of being destroyed?"

  "This sound seems to have shaken the entire Qing Shan Town, it appears that Xu Manor also has a powerful expert!"

  Many people in the Xu mansion had already heard it, this was the master's voice.

  Although everyone in Qing Shan Town heard this voice, only the group of people who had just arrived at Qing Shan Town truly understood how terrifying this voice was.

  Above the Xu Mansion, the three master and servant's faces looked extremely unsightly, but they didn't get angry, instead they were somewhat flustered and hastily said to those below: "Sorry to disturb you seniors, we'll leave immediately!"

  It wasn't until they had left the Xu manor's grounds and turned a corner that the three of them finally stopped.

  "Jiang Lao, He Lao, why is this?" The young noble's face turned iron-green, and he felt extremely resentful about fleeing in such a sorry state.

  "Your Highness, the person who just spoke is absolutely a super strong expert, at least a strong expert in the late stage of Martial Emperor. If it were the master of the house, we wouldn't be afraid, but the three of us are not enough to look at him!"

  "I really didn't expect that a small town like Qing Shan would have such a powerful person? Such a powerful person is even rare in my Lin Guan City!"

  The two old servants beside the young master said with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

  The young master's face turned pale and he said, "What should we do now?"

  "Let's just find an inn to stay in for now! This Qing Shan Town is not simple, it's best not to provoke the local officials, our goal isn't this Qing Shan Town!" said the old servant with the surname Jiang.

  "Alright!" The young master, although pale as earth, did not lose his composure. Such a strong person was obviously not someone to be offended.

  The three of them immediately settled down in an inn at Qing Shan Town.

  At the same time, the foreign strongmen who went to the Zhou and Qian families also heard that voice just now, and they were thinking in their hearts whether the Zhou and Qian families would have such a strong person, and whether their attitude should be better.

  However, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Qian warmly welcomed the two groups of people and arranged guest rooms for them.

  In the Zhou family, a young master of about twenty-five years old politely asked the host: "Master Zhou, do you know who was the owner of that voice just now?"

  Zhou Jia knew it was Xu Lin's voice, but he wouldn't say anything. He just smiled and said: "Young Master Lu looks down on me too much, how could someone as strong as him possibly be someone I can come into contact with?"

  "I'm not afraid of Mr. Lu's ridicule, although in Qing Shan Town, my Zhou family and the Qian family and Xu family are listed together as rulers, but the real overlord is actually the Xu family, my Zhou family and that Qian family are completely just helping the Xu family do chores!" The master of the Zhou family's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

  A middle-aged Han beside Lu Gongzi said, "With that person's strength, even in the entire Luocheng, they are a top-notch strongman. Why do they hide in this small Qingshan Town?"

  "Uncle Knife, some strong men have strange temperaments, but it's nothing to us. As long as we don't provoke them, there won't be any trouble!" Lu Gongzi said, and then turned to the master of the Zhou family: "Sorry to trouble you, Master Zhou. We two will stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."

  "No big deal, being able to entertain Lu Gongzi is a blessing for our Zhou family!" The smile on the face of the master of the Zhou household never stopped.

  Finally after the two left, the master of the Zhou family muttered to himself: "Xu Lin, just how strong are you? What is the Xu family hiding?"

  "It seems that I was right to agree to let Ying'er and Xu Hua be together in the first place. If they end up together, the Xu family won't mistreat my Zhou family, will they?"
