Chapter 1351 - 1350: Issuing a Challenge Letter
"Enough, enough, I thought it was just fifty."Two hundred had greatly exceeded Tang Rao's expected range.
"When are we planning to go to the Zhang Family?"
Fang Jinxiu wasn't worried about Tang Rao's safety; he wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident about, right?
Knowing a man too well isn't without its advantages.
"If it were up to me, I'd want to go now. Since the conditions aren't ripe, let's go in three days."
The condition Tang Rao referred to was his divination.
Tang Rao wouldn't cast divinations for trivial matters. With too many people involved and the loss too great, he couldn't afford such a loss.
"This time, I'm going with you."
Fang Jinxiu's words weren't a discussion or a collaboration with Tang Rao. She learned from Tang Rao, merely notifying him, letting him know this was going to happen.
"Go ahead, I know I can't refuse you."
Fang Jinxiu's martial strength wasn't as strong as Tang Rao's, not even close to Tu Hongxiu's. The only reason Tang Rao impulsively agreed was simple: because of Fang Jinxiu's marksmanship.
"I knew you'd agree with me, Tang Rao. I'm crazy about you."
Fang Jinxiu gave Tang Rao a casual peck, even someone as thick-skinned as Tang Rao was embarrassed to the point of almost not daring to face anyone.
"Loving me is useless. If you get hurt, don't even think about going with me in the future."
To any potentially dangerous battlefield.
Tang Rao wasn't joking; if he said it, he'd make sure to follow through.
Fang Jinxiu didn't know if she would get hurt; all she could think about was Tang Rao facing off against masters. If a master were too powerful and took Tang Rao's life, what then?
Being by Tang Rao's side and facing life and death together gave Fang Jinxiu peace of mind. If she couldn't see him and had to wait anxiously at home, she'd rather be knocked out with a punch than torment herself with thoughts until she got a headache.
"It's settled then, I'll start researching my weapons and make a self-defense tool for you. The Purple Crystal you gave me last time is almost spent, when will you supplement my provisions, dear husband?"
Tang Rao remembered that when he asked Fang Jinxiu to research guns and other firearms, he gave her a substantial amount of Purple Crystal, equivalent to two-thirds of the Purple Crystal in Tang Rao's Little World. And it's all gone so quickly?
This self-proclaimed wealthiest man in the All Divine Realm became the most extravagant because he built an arms factory. In such a short time, the Little World's Purple Crystals hadn't regrown, and Tang Rao was left with Ancient Divine Artifacts and Elixir Pills that he'd scavenged.
These things couldn't serve as Purple Crystals. Even if given to Fang Jinxiu, they would be of no use. It seems Tang Rao needs to brainstorm ways to get some Purple Crystals elsewhere, besides the Little World, as emergency stock.
He's already that miserable; surely heaven can show Tang Rao some compassion, right?
Three days later, all is ready except the east wind.
Tang Rao hadn't slept the previous night. When he closed his eyes, his hands unconsciously practiced his Quenching Fire Palm and Wind Martial Technique, Feng Qingyang.
The combination of his Fire Martial Technique and Wind Martial Technique dispersed and recombined repeatedly. Through numerous experiments, Tang Rao now skillfully controls the melding and separation of wind and fire from his hands to the enemy.
"Brother Tang Rao, I want to go with you. Although my father wronged my mother, he is still my father, my uncle shouldn't have killed him. As his son, I want to avenge my father myself."
Just as Tang Rao was ready to depart with his men, Zhang Yishan had seamlessly joined the group, unnoticed by Tang Rao.
Judging by Zhang Yishan's demeanor, he obviously didn't want Tang Rao to notice him.
"No, your strength is too weak to be your uncle's match. Besides, your uncle is actively searching for you everywhere. Knowing you're offering yourself, it's him who'd be pleased, finally fulfilling one of your uncle's wishes."
Zhang Yishan's expression turned sour. Although his skill was lacking, unable to match his uncle or immediately take his uncle's life.
Nevertheless, truth be told, he couldn't beat his uncle; his uncle could crush Zhang Yishan with one hand. What does Zhang Yishan have to face his uncle?
"I... but I really want to see my uncle die with my own eyes; as long as he exists, my heart will suffer every day."
If anyone killed Tang Rao's parents, he couldn't accept it. Empathizing on this, Tang Rao understood the feeling.
"Now isn't the time for impulsiveness, kid. I promise to bring your uncle's head back to you. Then you can take your time cutting it up, isn't that right?"
Is this even possible?
Tang Rao had never offered such a service for anyone before; Zhang Yishan was so touched he nearly vomited from emotion.
"No need, you'd better go instead."
Tang Rao intended to kill Zhang Wei and bring the head back for Zhang Yishan to play with. Heaven knows the disgust in Zhang Yishan's heart.
"Go back. The others, follow me."
Tang Rao waved his flag, and the people behind him followed his lead toward the Zhang Family.
"I heard the Kao Shan Sect went to take revenge on the Tingzhou Zhang Family?"
"Who wouldn't? It's baffling how they'd consider that; knowing the Zhang Family is vastly superior, yet daring to face the challenge, like eggs against rocks. Besides, I checked—their people are quite amusing, all are lower gods, not a single middle god, not even one middle god."
Hahahahaha.
The crowd erupted into laughter again.
Indeed, among the people Fang Jinxiu allocated to Tang Rao, all are lower gods; not even someone like Liu Da, a middle god, was given to Tang Rao.
Fang Jinxiu must have her reasons; as long as Tang Rao found them handy, he didn't question her motives.
Those who want to mock Tang Rao can laugh. Tang Rao's thick skin can withstand this level of ridicule.
"Brothers, later on, as long as they're not the Zhang Family's top dogs, strike all the small fry for me. Any middle gods, wipe them out—this is your chance to train, a practical exercise. Whoever fails, even small fry can hurt them; I really won't care."
Again, Kao Shan Sect doesn't tolerate incompetence. They'd rather spend more to nurture strong warriors than waste Purple Crystals on someone who contributes nothing.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The grand procession headed toward the Zhang Family.
They're not in a rush; they wanted to walk slowly, wanting others to see that even with weak strength, they could be flashy and impressive.
"Zhang Wei, I'm personally delivering a war challenge as Tang Rao. Having dared to kill your own brother, you should be daring enough to battle me again, shouldn't you?"
No need for transmission across miles, Tang Rao took a small transmitter from his Space Ring, strapped it on his back, placed the speaker by his mouth, connected the power, and started shouting.
The Zhang Family counted as a prestigious family within all of Tingzhou; compared to the Li Family, they were at least ten times stronger.
Their advantageous location allowed for easy access on all fronts, densely surrounded by people eager to watch the spectacle unfold.
