She giggled and ended the call.
Chapter 577 - What A Pretentious Guy
In a desolate mountain somewhere in Huaxia.
Two figures crawled out of a hole in the ground like rats. They were wearing tattered Taoist robes and had dirty faces. They looked like two savages.
“F*ck! Not even a hair left!”
The white-haired elderly Taoist master in front sat down on the ground while he cursed.
That person was Taoist Master Qing Xu, the dignified Elder of Mao Mountain.
The person behind him sat down and cursed too. That was Taoist Master Qian Ji.
After Taoist Master Qing Xu came out of seclusion, he did not return to it. Instead, he brought Taoist master Qian Ji and traveled around the country, especially to deep mountains and ancient forests.
Mao Mountain needed a new Elder, and Taoist Master Qian Ji’s cultivation base was the highest in his generation. After eating the meat of many rare and exotic beasts, his cultivation base had skyrocketed, and he was close to the peak of the State of Qi Channeling.
If he could have a fortuitous encounter, there was hope in breaking through to the next State.
“You! You’re such a disappointment!” Taoist Master Qing Xu glanced at Taoist Master Qian Ji disdainfully.
“Look at Fellow Cultivator Tang. How old is he again? He’s already better than you. Aren’t you ashamed? You should be!”
Taoist Master Qian Ji could not find a retort.
‘Fellow Cultivator Tang is a freak! There’s no way I can compare to him!’
“Forget it! I’m done talking. Come, let’s drink!”
Taoist Master Qing Xu untied the wine jug on his waist and drank from it.
As he drank, he became excited and wanted to sing a song.
Taoist Master Qian Ji’s entire body trembled, and his face turned pale when he noticed that. Whenever the Elder sang, anyone who heard it would lose years off their life.
Suddenly, the bag around his waist vibrated, and the satellite phone rang.
He quickly took out the phone and answered it, as though he was granted a royal pardon.
His expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Something happened to Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
“What?” Taoist Master Qing Xu jumped. “Who dares lay a finger on Fellow Cultivator Tang? I’ll chop him up into minced meat!”
“It’s those bastards from Dongying and Hindustan!”
“What? Those bastards are getting bolder now, aren’t they? ! I’m going to kill them right now! Chop them all up!” Taoist Master Qing Xu’s eyes widened in anger, and his hair and beard bristled.
Soon, a helicopter appeared in the night sky. It brought the two of them straight to the airport and then to Dongying.
…
Late at night, a fleet of cars arrived in front of Amaterasu Shrine.
When they arrived at the entrance, the car doors opened, and a group of Hindustanis alighted. They were all bone-thin and wore monk robes.
Soon, another car arrived, and an old woman with white hair stepped out. She wore a loose kimono with cloud patterns embroidered on the lapels.
The group of people gathered and waited in the shrine.
They waited until dawn, then until the following sunset, but there was no movement at all.
In that period, Tang Hao blew up two more military bases.
“What’s going on? Why hasn’t he taken the bait?”
In the command center, the people were getting anxious.
“Double the defense of Izumo Shrine. I don’t believe that the Dragon won’t take the bait,” the Minister of Defense yelled.
The people in the shrine were getting impatient too.
If the Dragon did not come, the plan would be ruined, and they would have wasted their trip. The elders were reaching their mortal limit soon, and that was a heavy price to pay.
They could not afford to pay that price.
The sky was getting darker.
Everyone was getting impatient.
At that moment, a car drove along the road toward the shrine. It first sneaked around the periphery before driving in.
“He’s taken the bait! He’s taken the bait!”
The people were so excited that they almost cheered out loud.
Through a hidden camera, they could see that the car was driving slowly as if it would turn and drive away in the other direction as soon as it realized that something was amiss.
“Hmph! That guy is quite cautious! I wonder how I’ll be killing him later!” A Hindustani ascetic said disdainfully.
He looked at the person on the screen with contempt.
“He’s just a teenager. Killing him is no different from killing an ant!” Another Hindustani sneered.
The people all seemed impassive and confident. They looked at the person on the screen as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
A few minutes later, the car finally arrived at the entrance to the shrine.
In an instant, numerous figures rushed out of the shrine.
In the car, Tang Hao pretended to look surprised.
Then, he calmly got out of the car.
“Prepare to meet your doom, Dongyingese!” Tang Hao changed his voice and shouted loudly.
As he said that, he straightened his clothes and lifted his chin, trying to look as arrogant as possible.
“Haha! You’re the one who’s going to meet his doom, stupid Huaxianese!”
Accompanied by a burst of laughter, several figures dropped from above and landed at the gate. Then, a group of Hindustanis swarmed out.
“Whoa! Who are you? Does your shrine happen to be a refugee camp too?” Tang Hao was shocked.
The Hindustanis were instantly enraged.
“F*ck! what did you say? Say it again if you have the guts!”
“Refugees!”
“You’re the refugee. Your whole family are refugees!” The Hindustanis were furious.
They did not think they looked like refugees, other than the fact that they were emaciated and were dressed in rags.
“Stupid Huaxianese, you’ve destroyed one of our holy mountains, and we will destroy you as revenge!”
“Stupid Huaxianese, suffer the wrath of Brahma!”
The Hindustanis roared.
“Oh, you’re Hindustanis!” Tang Hao pretended to be shocked and shouted, “What happened… to your cultivation level?”
“Hmph!” The ascetics sneered.
“You’ve only realized that now? Unfortunately, it’s too late for you!”
An old woman wearing a golden kimono walked out with the help of a cane.
“You’ve killed so many of my fellow Dongyingese. Today, I shall tear you into pieces.”
She knocked the cane on the ground, and a vicious look appeared on her withered old face.
“Hah! You talk big. If you didn’t call for help, would you have been able to detain me here?” Tang Hao sneered.
“Calling for help is an ability too!” The old woman retorted.
“What’s so great about that? You speak as though you’re the only person who knows how to call for help! None of the people you call impress me. Do you believe that I can call for help too, and those people can wipe out all of you?” Tang Hao said with a cold smirk.
“It won’t take long. Just five minutes, no, three minutes will be enough!”
Everyone was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.
They looked at each other and burst into unbridled laughter.
‘Three minutes to call someone over and kill us all? Haha! What a joke! Did a donkey kick his head?
‘I can count the people who can kill us in this world in one hand!
‘How could they possibly arrive in three minutes?
‘He must be bluffing!’
“Call him then! We’ll see what happens!” One of Hindustanis said disdainfully.
They were
not in a hurry anyway to kill him anyway. It was not like he could escape from their hands.
“You said it yourself, don’t regret it later!” Tang Hao flashed a mischievous grin.
“Oh no! I’ll regret it! Haha, what a joke!” The Hindustani sneered.
Tang Hao took out his phone and made a call.
“Someone is bullying me, Big Bro! Come here and save me!”
After saying that, Tang Hao ended the call and leaned against the front of the car. He seemed very relaxed.
A while later, he felt that his pose was not pretentious enough. He fumbled around in his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it up. Then, he brought it to his mouth.
He rarely smoked, only smoking one on rare occasions when he was with Liu Dajun and the others. He choked and coughed a few times.
He eventually got the hang of it, and casually puffed out a cloud of smoke.
He was thoroughly caught in the moment.
The people looking at him were all dumbfounded.
‘Dammit! Is this guy crazy? He’s almost at the end of his life, yet he’s still so leisurely and pretentious? Is he looking down on all of us?’
Chapter 578 - Dramatic Entrance
The atmosphere in front of the shrine was somewhat uncanny.
A person was leaning onto his car and smoking leisurely, while a crowd of people was surrounding him with hostile expressions on their faces.
One minute passed…
Two minutes passed…
No one moved. All the people held their breaths, eager to see if that person would stop pretending after three minutes.
On a mountain not far away, two figures were lying with their stomachs on the ground, holding binoculars and looking in the direction of the shrine.
Both of them looked excited.
Taoist Master Qing Xu grinned and said, “Haha! Fellow Cultivator Tang… no, I mean, Little Brother is such a great actor. Those whelps are clueless.”
“That’s amazing! He looks like me in the past!” Taoist Master Qing Xu slapped his thigh uproariously.
Taoist Master Qian Ji was also beaming with joy. “Fellow Cultivator Tang is a talented actor indeed!”
Soon, three minutes passed.
“Where’s your support? Where?” The people looked around, sneered, and turned to look at Tang Hao with hostile gazes.
“I knew it. He’s just bluffing. How could he call for help in three minutes? This is Dongying, not Huaxia!”
“Kill him!”
The Hindustanis roared and prepared to swarm over Tang Hao, while the Dongyingese lifted their hands and prepared to summon their shikigami.
Right at that moment, a loud shout rang out in the night sky, like an explosion.
“Who dares lay a finger on my little brother!”
The sound waves pierced through the air like muffled thunder.
Those with weaker cultivation bases groaned in pain. The shock damaged their eardrums, and they felt dizzy in their heads.
Those with stronger cultivation bases had a drastic change in their expressions.
Their eyes were wide open as they looked toward the direction of the shout. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
From that shout, they could determine just how powerful the newcomer was!
In the next moment, the night sky was divided into two by a beam of golden light.
That was a sword. It slashed down with the grandeur of a lightning storm. It seemed to be unstoppable.
When the three Hindustanis and two old women saw that, their bodies trembled in extreme fear.
“Oh… Oh my god! That’s… that’s… Mao Mountain’s Sword of Vanquishing…”
“Oh no! The old monster from Mao Mountain is here!”
The five people were scared out of their wits, and they almost fainted.
In the past, the two Perfected Persons of Mao Mountain were renowned for their power. The old people were of the same generation, and they had heard a lot about their deeds.
Back then, they were extremely fearful of crossing those two cultivation masters.
However, on the rare occasion that they came out of seclusion, they had bumped into one of them!
How much bad karma had they accumulated over their past eight lives to suffer such bad luck?
The faces of the five people twitched in panic as they cursed their luck to hell.
The three Hindustanis let out a strange cry. They did not care about maintaining their solemn demeanor and ran away faster than rabbits.
“Not so fast!” The voice resounded in mid-air.
The golden light abruptly turned its direction and slashed toward one of them.
That Hindustani was shocked. He crossed his arms, and his wizened skin shone with a bright golden light.
However, that was not enough to block that sword.
The tip of the sword instantly shattered the bones in the Hindustani’s arms and pierced through his chest.
One-hit kill!
The other two Hindustanis stumbled and fell to the ground out of fear. They quickly got to their feet and ran away.
The tip of the sword turned toward another one of them and killed him with one blow.
The last person was a Perfected Person and was the strongest among them. After blocking an attack, he managed to escape. The two people who were killed earlier were only half Perfected Persons, just like Tang Hao.
The two old women turned around and ran away while cursing under their breaths.
They thought they had anticipated every possibility, but they did not expect that the old Dragon would come along with the young Dragon.
‘Two Dragons? Are they planning to wipe out the entire Dongying cultivation world?’
At that moment, they also realized that Tang Hao was only putting on an act. He had toyed with them like monkeys!
“Don’t run, you filthy old crones!”
Taoist master Qing Xu roared. Then, his expression changed, and he muttered, “Oh right, Little Brother said that we should kill the old woman from Amaterasu Shrine and let the other one go.
“I don’t know why, but if Little Brother says so, then it can’t be wrong!”
He turned his gaze and rushed toward the old woman from Amaterasu Shrine.
The old woman trembled and ran away even more desperately.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao started to wipe out the others, and Taoist Master Qian Ji came over to help.
Very soon, the Dongyingese and Hindustani cultivators were completely wiped out.
“Let’s go and loot the treasure!”
Taoist Master Qian Ji rubbed his hands together. His eyes sparkled with a thievish delight as he led Tang Hao into the shrine. He put anything that seemed valuable into his sack and handed it to Tang Hao.
When the news reached the Ministry of Defense, everyone was stunned.
The command center fell into a deathly silence.
The Minister of Defense teetered, and he almost fell on the floor. His face was pale.
‘There’s more than one Dragon?
‘The Old Dragon from Mao Mountain also came?
‘How could that be!
‘First, it was Iga, then Koga. Now, even Amaterasu Shrine is destroyed, so only Izumo is left.’
“Double the defense of Izumo Shrine! Scramble all the fighter jets and bombard the hell out of
Amaterasu Shrine! Now!” He roared maniacally.
The orders were passed down at once. Fighter jets roared to life and took off from all the airbases.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Taoist Master Qian Ji were happily looting when they heard something flying through the air.
It was Taoist Master Qing Xu.
“We’ll have to leave! Fighter jets are coming! There are so many of them! I won’t be able to protect you when the bombs fall!”
The two of them quickly followed him out.
From a safe distance, they saw fighter jets flying over and bombing that area, turning the shrine into a sea of fire.
/>
The three looked at each other and laughed.
“Well done, Brother Tang! I heard that you wiped out Koga and Iga alone!” Taoist Master Qian Ji said happily.
Tang Hao laughed and said, “They were the ones who wanted to kill me first. They deserve it!”
“Those bastards deserve to be taught a lesson! Let’s go! Let’s go back quickly!” Taoist Master Qing Xu said angrily.
The two Taoist masters left in a hurry. They did not have passports, and they used a concealment spell to sneak into the airplane. They used the same method to fly back to Huaxia.
Tang Hao had a passport and bought a plane ticket. He had to take the plane back to prevent suspicion.
He boarded his flight at three o’clock in the morning.
The plane landed at Provincial City International Airport. It was just after sunrise.
A Hummer was parked on the runway, and a beautiful figure stood next to the car.
She was extremely beautiful, had an icy demeanor, and was in her late teens like Tang Hao. She was none other than Mu Xintong.
She wore sunglasses and leaned against the side of the car. When a gust of strong wind blew, it lifted her jet-black hair and scattered it, which made for an indescribably cool scene.
Her long legs were even more eye-catching.
The people who walked out of the airplane were stunned when they saw her.
A beautiful woman and a Hummer. That was simply too cool.
Chapter 579 - She’s An Ace Student
Tang Hao was stunned when he walked out of the cabin door.
“Why is she here?” Tang Hao muttered and scratched his head, feeling a little awkward.
“Get in the car!”
Mu Xintong’s expression was indifferent as usual. She spat out the words coldly, turned around, and got in the car.
After Tang Hao got in, she started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
As the car sped along the wide and open road, the strong wind scattered her silky black hair.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of misty, deep, and beautiful eyes.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was awkward.
After a long time, Tang Hao looked at her and said, “Your injury… didn’t leave any side effects, right?”
