“F*ck! He’s so handsome! There’s no justice in this world!”
“He’s probably the main character of some fantasy novel!”
Ma Chongyang and the others discussed jealously.
The people from Hua Mountain were envious, but those from Mao Mountain, Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the cultivation families had amused expressions on their faces.
‘A twenty-six-year-old Perfected Person is considered a top-notch prodigy?
‘What about a nineteen-year-old Perfected Person then?’
Thinking of that, they all looked at Tang Hao.
After that, they turned to look at the so-called top-notch prodigy with disdain.
“Trash!”
“That’s right! What’s there to show off if you took fourteen years? How shameless!”
They shook their heads and started to laugh mockingly.
In an instant, the smiles of the people from Shu Mountain froze on their faces. Even the people from Hua Mountain were stunned.
‘What are they talking about?
‘Fourteen years is considered long? What kind of joke is that?’
“Hmph! They’re indeed a bunch of ignorant natives. Fourteen years is already very fast. Have you all seen anyone faster than that?” The Shu Mountain sect leader said angrily.
“Of course! I can tell you that fourteen years is nothing!” Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted.
“Where have you seen such a cultivator then? Don’t tell me that you saw it in ancient history books. That’s meaningless!” The sect leader said.
“Are you blind? He is standing right in front of you!” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
“You?”
The sect leader was stunned. Then, he laughed.
The people behind him burst out laughing too.
“Who said that it’s me? It’s our clan leader. Can’t you guys see that he’s still young and handsome?” Taoist Master Qian Ji pointed at Tang Hao and said.
“Him?”
The sect leader looked at Tang Hao and was shocked.
The people of Shu Mountain and Hua Mountain were also stunned.
In the next moment, a burst of earth-shattering laughter erupted.
“Hahaha! That is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!”
“Oh my! Those natives are so funny! Do they think we’re blind? He’s an old freak who has regressed in age, but they think that he’s still young!”
“That’s right! It’s too funny! Oh, I can’t hold it in anymore. I’m dying of laughter!”
The Shu Mountain cultivators were laughing so hard that their stomachs were hurting.
How could such a prodigy exist among the natives? How shameless was that old freak to pretend that he was still young?
Even the Hua Mountain cultivators felt embarrassed.
They also felt that the claim was too exaggerated. If the clan leader was so powerful and knew how to make pills, crafts talismans, and even set up Artifact formations, he must be a lot older than twenty.
That was too ridiculous!
The Taoist masters rolled their eyes and muttered, “All of you are ignorant bumpkins!”
“That’s right. Uncivilized, too!”
The heavenly masters could not help but shake their heads and sigh. They looked at the people of Shu Mountain with pity.
“Ignorant bumpkins? Who are you talking about?”
The people of Shu Mountain stopped laughing and started cursing.
“Whoever answers!” The Taoist masters retorted.
“F*ck your mother!”
“F*ck your ancestors!”
The Taoist masters rolled up their sleeves and started hurling curses. They were quite skilled at that, which made the Shu Mountain cultivators exasperated and red-faced.
“Damn! They’re experts at cursing!”
The people from Hua Mountain were shocked.
“Hmph! Enough talk. We’ll see who’s the real deal! You, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one and don’t use any Artifact formations. Do you dare?”
Duan Shaolong roared angrily. His gaze was like a sword that stabbed at Tang Hao.
“Sure!” Tang Hao grinned. “Right, can we use Artifacts as weapons?”
“You don’t say! What’s the point of a fight if we don’t use weapons?” Duan Shaolong said coldly.
“You said that yourself!” Tang Hao grinned even more happily.
Seeing that, the sect leader of Shu Mountain had an ominous premonition.
‘Haha! I shouldn’t be too worried!
‘What tricks could that guy pull off with us around?’
Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved. He said, “Don’t hold back, Shaolong. You have to show your strength and spread the might of our Shu Mountain!”
Duan Shaolong cupped his hands and said, “Don’t worry, Sect Leader.”
“Kill him, Elder Duan!”
The people of Shu Mountain cheered with enthusiasm.
Under the expectant and admiring gazes, Duan Shaolong turned around and walked forward slowly. After he stood still, he flicked his sleeves and looked at Tang Hao indifferently. He had the demeanor of a master.
“Shaolong is young, but he is already so imposing. How rare!”
“In a few more years, Shaolong will be able to lead Shu Mountain!”
The elders nodded one after another, revealing expressions of approval.
When Duan Shaolong heard that, he felt smug in his heart, although his expression was very calm.
“Bring it!”
He stood there like a martial arts master and waved at Tang Hao.
“Wow! Elder Duan is so handsome!”
There were cheers behind him.
‘F*ck! How pretentious!’
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. He took out a brick and hurled it instantly.
Chapter 790 - Stunned
Whoosh!
The brick tore through the air like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, it arrived before Duan Shaolong.
He had one hand behind his back like a martial arts expert. Before he could react, the thing was already before him.
‘What’s that?’
Shocked, he raised his eyes and saw that it was a black object. It looked vaguely like a brick.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a brick.
He heaved a sigh of relief. It was just a brick and posed no threat.
He even wanted to laugh.
What kind of idiot would attack with a brick?
He reflexively tried to dodge. It was not a threat, but it would be embarrassing if a prodigy like him got hit by a brick!
However, just as he took a step back, the brick also changed directions and continued to fly toward his head.
Before he could react, there was a thud.
He felt dizzy, his body spun, and he collapsed.
“How… f*cking strange!”
He mumbled and lost consciousness.
The cheering stopped all of a sudden.
The plaza fell into a terrifying silence.
The people of Shu Mountain all froze with blank expressions on their faces.
They thought that they were dreaming. If it was not a dream, then how could such a ridiculous thing happen?
The prodigy of Shu Mountain, a Perfected Person, was knocked out in one hit before he could even make a move!
How uncanny was that?
They stood there in a daze for a long time.
Many people’s faces gradually turned red. After all, the situation was too embarrassing!
Just a moment ago, they were still cheering for Elder Duan to beat up that native, but who would have thought that they would be beaten in one move instead.
“What’s that?”
They were confused and turned to look at the object. Upon seeing it clearly, they were stunned again, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
‘Dammit! It’s a brick!
‘The prodigy of Shu Mountain has been knock
ed out by a brick!’
The facial muscles of the old Perfected Persons kept twitching, and they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
That was a great humiliation!
In the thousands of years of Shu Mountain’s history, such an embarrassing thing had never happened before!
The sect leader clenched his fists tightly and was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His face alternated between several colors, and his expression was extremely interesting.
Tang Hao took the opportunity to slip away and pick up the brick.
As he did so, he gave Duan Shaolong’s handsome face a vicious kick before running back.
“This is outrageous!”
The sect leader’s eyes were spitting fire as he gritted his teeth and said, “You shameless scoundrel, you only know how to sneak attack. If you have the guts, don’t use any underhanded tricks!”
Tang Hao sneered and said, “How did I trick him? He was too engrossed in acting cool, and you’re blaming me?”
“You…” The sect leader was speechless.
“Just you wait. I’ll skin you alive today and grind your bones to dust!” He gritted his teeth and said hatefully. His gaze towards Tang Hao was filled with deep hatred.
Shu Mountain had never been humiliated like that before!
In a fit of rage, he brandished his qi aura. The sword on his back hummed as it flew out of its sheath. It transformed into a graceful arc of energy and slashed at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao did not panic. With a mental command, he activated the formations around him, and a light barrier spread out.
Boom!
The sword collided with the light barrier and exploded with a shocking brilliance.
The light barrier trembled slightly but was otherwise unscathed.
The sect leader’s expression changed slightly, and he grunted angrily. “Let’s see how long you can hide under that!” As he said that, he controlled the sword and kept attacking the formation.
“Break the turtle shell and kill that bastard!”
The people of Shu Mountain were furious.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Countless swords flew out from their sheaths, soared into the sky, and rained down on the light barrier.
In an instant, the light barrier shook violently and dimmed a little.
It continued to grow dim as the swords struck it.
“It’s about to break! Come on!”
Everyone from Shu Mountain shouted.
They gritted their teeth and channeled all the qi in their bodies toward the light barrier.
They were already thinking about how to torture the bastard inside after breaking the turtle shell.
However, at that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from nearby.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It sounded like a storm brewing.
Flames shot up into the air, slicing through the night sky before falling toward the plaza.
The scene was spectacular, like a meteor shower.
“What’s that?”
Everyone from Shu Mountain raised their heads and looked towards the sky, their faces filled with shock.
“It’s probably some Artifact formation! Block it!”
After they came to their senses, they mounted their swords and charged forward.
The almost nine hundred swords gathered into a torrent. It was a magnificent sight.
In the next moment, the artillery shells and swords clashed and exploded, filling the sky with flames.
The first wave of shells was completely destroyed.
However, the second wave came soon after.
Swarms of eagle-like drones flew over, unloading their missiles as they got near.
The loud rumble of engines could be heard high in the sky. Those were bomber planes.
Countless shells and missiles all converged and blasted towards the Shu Mountain side.
“Oh my god!”
Seeing that, everyone from Shu Mountain was flabbergasted.
They were stunned by the overwhelming presence.
“Quick! Stop those things!”
The sect leader’s expression changed drastically as he roared.
They did their best to control their flying swords to intercept the projectiles.
However, there were too many of them. Every time a projectile exploded, it would cause a huge shockwave to explode and cause them to temporarily lose control of their swords.
In fact, many of the flying swords were shattered.
They gradually lost their strength. Occasionally, one or two missiles would slip through the cracks and bombard the crowd.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!”
Screams were heard nonstop.
From time to time, Shu Mountain disciples would be blown away. If they were lucky, they would be injured, and the unlucky ones would be blown to bits.
When the sect leader saw the scene, he became incomparably furious.
“Ahhhh!”
He threw his head back and roared. His hair and beard fluttered, and a shocking qi aura exploded from his body.
He mentally commanded his sword to destroy the shells and missiles.
However, there were too many of them. The projectiles came wave after wave, as though they were endless.
In addition, many missiles were aimed at him. They flew beyond the speed of sound, and he was getting exhausted.
Needless to say, the other people were also in a miserable state.
Blergh!
One of the Shu Mountain elders was hit by a missile, which heavily injured him. He spat out blood and flew backward.
With a few more screams of agony, another few disciples were bombarded to death by missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bombardment continued.
“Kill! Kill those old geezers!”
General Bai was screaming in a temporary command center near Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Outside, artillery cannons and missile launchers were lined up. Countless soldiers were busy moving around, reloading the machines, and firing the projectiles.
Wave after wave, they surged towards the enemy.
In the sky, drones and bombers could be seen.
Half of the plaza was already reduced to ruins and smoke after the multiple rounds of bombardment.
Corpses and broken swords littered the ground.
Shu Mountain had lost about two hundred people to the bombardment, and many more were injured.
“How could this be?”
The Shu Mountain sect leader stood there. His clothes were in tatters, and his hair was charred black. He looked extremely pathetic.
He looked around with a dazed expression.
He was completely baffled. What were those things that fell from the sky? How could there be so many of them, and they were so powerful!
Could it be some ancient Artifact formation?
With that in mind, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Then, he was filled with regret.
It was all his fault for being so arrogant. He knew that his opponent had set up a trap, but fell for it anyway and caused the death of so many disciples.
“Wow! That thing is pretty vicious!”
The Hua Mountain cultivators were all stunned.
“Tsk! That’s nothing! We haven’t used the most powerful missile yet. You should’ve seen what happened to Yin Mountain!”
The Taoist masters acted as though that was nothing impressive.
The Hua Mountain cultivators were dumbfounded when they heard that.
“Go!”
At that moment, Tang Hao shouted and removed the light barrier.
“Kill them!”
The Taoist masters roared and charged forward. They dug into their cloth bags and threw out jade talismans.
“Follow the Clan Leader’s command! Charge!”
&
nbsp; The old Perfected Persons of Hua Mountain shouted excitedly as well.
They were fighting against Shu Mountain!
How could they miss out on the opportunity to beat up the former number one sect?
“This is for mocking my Hua Mountain! I’ll kill you!”
The old Perfected persons of Hua Mountain brandished their qi auras.
The people of Shu Mountain had already sustained heavy casualties from the impact. The combined attack from the cultivators broke their ranks.
“Retreat!”
Without any other choice, the sect leader gave the order to retreat.
Under the cover of the Perfected Persons, the disciples fled in panic.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!”
From time to time, Shu Mountain disciples who straggled behind would be mobbed.
“Aren’t you all very smug? And you think that we’d submit to you? Submit my *ss!”
The Taoist masters cursed angrily while throwing talismans.
As the Shu Mountain cultivators retreated, many corpses were left behind.
“That’s enough!” Tang Hao stopped the Taoist masters from giving pursuit.
Although many Shu Mountain disciples had died, the main force was still alive, and the Taoist masters could not stop them. If both sides were to fight to the death, the Taoist masters would suffer heavy casualties as well.
“Are we letting them go just like that?”
The Taoist masters were unwilling.
“This’ll be a mortal grudge! They won’t rest until either side is completely dead!” The Hua Mountain cultivators had grim expressions on their faces.
Tang Hao replied, “Strengthen your defenses! In a few days, I’ll set up a Yellow Flame formation on your sect grounds. That should be enough to protect you. At the same time, I’ll get the Agency to monitor Shu Mountain closely.
“If they do anything, we will know immediately.”
“That’s the only way!” Taoist Master Qian Ji nodded and said.
Then, he laughed loudly and said, “Awesome! I love kicking people while they’re down! The number one sect? They’re nothing special!”
When he turned around and saw the wreckage, he was even happier. “Perfectly bombed! Why can’t they bomb the place a little more?”
Meanwhile, the heavenly masters looked like they were about to cry.
Other than the area covered by the defensive formation, the rest of Dragon Tiger Mountain was blown to smithereens by artillery fire.
