Chapter 180: The Last Tactic
At this moment, Feihai City was quiet at night, and only a few dogs barking could be heard on the streets that had finally faded away.
In an inconspicuous inn, there were only two guests, the old man of the Lu family and Lu Xinghe.
At this time, after hearing the news of the failed assassination, the face of the old man of the Lu family was as gloomy as water. Lu Xinghe was waiting at the side and did not even dare to take a breath.
Although he didn't know what happened, every time his uncle looked like this, it meant something terrible had happened.
"This reckless man is really not simple..."
The reckless man mentioned by the old man was naturally referring to Ling Tao who was in the unknown town. The reason why he took action against him was naturally because he coveted his powerful body-protecting aura.
At the beginning, Ling Tao was still quite famous in Wanjie Jiuzhou, but because he was too straightforward, he spent a lot of time and energy on cultivating and polishing the body-protecting Qi. Although the effect was remarkable, he was defeated one after another. Only then did Qi Hantian and Ye Fei's men retreat into the unknown town in anger.
It's just that his method of cultivating Gang Qi has made many forces jealous.
Of course, this is except for the Cultivation Alliance, because the Cultivation Alliance with its big family and business simply looks down on Ling Tao Jian's deviant training methods.
It's just that the Lu family has coveted this Gang Qi for a long time, so they secretly sent dead soldiers to snatch it.
But now according to the result card, it seems that those dead soldiers are still no match for Ling Tao.
"You go down first and we'll worry about the assassination later."
The dark figure kneeling in front of the old man of the Lu family quietly retreated and disappeared into the house like a gust of cold wind.
The moment the black shadow disappeared, the sky in the east became filled with a long-lost fish belly white.
........
Just after the rooster crowed three times, Fuhai City and the cities on the Nine Provinces of the Ten Thousand Realms returned to the vitality of the day.
But today is destined to be an extremely extraordinary day, because the witch who has disappeared in the eyes of the people in the city for a long time has reappeared.
And this time there is even more explosive news that has made countless young talents crazy about it.
That is, Zhou Xiaodie, the witch of Fuhai City, is going to have a public competition to find a bride.
Although this sounds like an extremely old-fashioned gimmick, in the eyes of the world's young leaders, this is a step up to the gods that is easier to obtain than opportunities like those in the Star Reaching Tower.
When Zhou Fuhai first heard the news, he almost choked to death on a sip of tea. He originally thought that his sister had changed her temper, but he didn't expect that she would do such an earth-shattering thing again after being dormant for three years.
"Did she really say that??"
"Yes, Lord City Lord..."
The news of Zhou Xiaodie's martial arts competition to find a bride spread quickly, and of course the happiest among these people was Lu Xinghe.
Because whether it is the power behind him or his own power, he is sure to stand out in this competition to recruit relatives.
There are only three conditions for Zhou Xiaodie to compete in martial arts to recruit a bride.
"The age is similar to myself, the cultivation level is similar to myself, I have seen it before."
These three conditions have blocked a large number of old men who are eager to try. The number of people trapped in the Danjie realm is more than a handful in all nine states.
Naturally, there are some who are quite old among them and want to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
But Zhou Xiaodie's three conditions directly shattered their dreams, but they didn't know why Zhou Xiaodie made such a move.
It was all because of the person he cared about in his heart, that hateful idiot who had disappeared for three years.
"I don't believe you haven't shown up yet!!"
It was because of Lu Xinghe's proposal of marriage yesterday that Zhou Xiaodie came up with such a ridiculous idea.
At this moment, Xu Ming, one of the parties involved, had just filled his stomach with Ling Tao's banquet.
After having enough wine and food, the hunger in Xu Ming's belly disappeared.
"Brother Xu, your skills are impressive, and your appetite is even more amazing."
Indeed, Xu Ming, who had not had a good meal in thirty years, how could the temple of five internal organs in his belly be easily dismissed by a banquet?
For this reason, Ling Tao specially sent someone to kill a deer overnight, which finally satisfied Xu Ming.
Xu Ming, who no longer felt hungry in his belly, felt that the cells in his body were slowly absorbing nutrients, just like a dry sponge that was full of water in a short time.
This is the biggest difference between Xu Ming's physical body and that of other cultivators. Because of the tempering of the Burning Blood Bloodline, he has such a strong sense of hunger.
At this moment, Xu Ming even felt that he could break through Ling Tao's protective aura with one punch.
The fierce fighting spirit suddenly burst out in his eyes, constantly telling his thoughts.
"Brother Ling, how about we have a fight now?"
"oh?"
Ling Tao's heart was moved when he heard this. How could he refuse with such a cheerful temperament? Because he also saw the fighting spirit in Xu Ming's eyes, and the young man in front of him had a different aura after having a full meal.
The two of them didn't say much at all. The moment Ling Tao's body-protecting energy appeared, Xu Ming used his hand to make a knife and slashed at him in an instant.
The breaths collided in an instant, destroying the table in front of him and the empty dishes in an instant.
The remaining power continued unabated, and with a few puffs of puffs, the surrounding walls were cut with deep scars like tofu by the sharp energy.
However, a few breaths later, the house the two of them were in collapsed suddenly, and a large amount of smoke and dust rose into the sky, waking up many servants who were still sleeping.
After the noise, many people came to check in front of the ruined house.
"grown ups...."
"master..."
Screams came and went, and a shout came from the ruins, which dispelled people's worries.
"What are you fussing over? What are you making a fuss about?"
Ling Tao and Xu Ming were seen getting up from the ruins in disgrace, their bodies shaking only slightly to disperse the dust.
"Brother Xu, you do have some skills in swordsmanship."
"Brother Ling, your body-protecting Qi is not bad either."
After the two said this, they burst out laughing, which made the servants next to them confused.
Only the two of them knew the reason, and Xu Ming once again felt his true strength through Ling Tao.
At least he has the strength to fight against the monk who is in the realm of Perfection of the Pill Formation. Although he cannot win in a short time, it will take a lot of effort for the Master of the Formation of the Pill Formation to defeat him.
However, at this moment, a secret letter fell into Ling Tao's hands.
Most of what was recorded in it were major events that happened in the Nine Provinces of the Ten Thousand Realms during this period. There was one thing at the end that made Ling Tao marvel.
"This is indeed a troubled time for Fuhai City... It seems that the Lord of Fuhai City will have to be busy for a while."
"Fuhai City?"
Xu Ming spent an extremely boring thirty years in the formation, but the words Fuhai City are still fresh in his memory.
Memories belonging to Zhou Xiaodie came flooding back again, and that idiot sentence seemed to ring in his ears again.
"Brother Xu, are you also interested in martial arts competitions to recruit a bride?"
Ling Tao joked with a smirk on his face.
But at this moment, Xu Ming, who was feeling huge waves in his heart, had no time to say dirty words to Ling Tao in response.
