People on the front yard of Peach Mountain listened to the simple conversation, but they could not understand it. Tang Xiaotang finally said, "If you want to fight, then let's fight. When did Leeb invite you to fight?"
This was because they had never lived in the Wilderness, so they did not know the habits of the people living there, nor were they used to the thousands of years of history of the Wilderness.
The Wilderness was called the Wilderness because the vast grassland in the north of the continent used to belong to the Desolate Man. A thousand years ago, the Desolate Man Empire was the most powerful empire in the world. The grassland barbarians who ruled the Wilderness today were all slaves of the Desolate Man, living a life worse than pigs and dogs.
After the Desolate Man was defeated by the Tang, they were forced to move to the north. The former barbarian slaves and the people who moved back from the far west joined hands to establish the three royal courts, and finally became the masters.
Because of the cruel memories of that bloody history, the barbarians' attitude towards the Desolate Man was predictable. The Desolate Man did not like the barbarian slaves who dared to inherit the territory of the empire. It could be said that they were enemies. However, after the Desolate Man moved to the Arctic Snow Region, the two sides had little contact, and the hatred was gradually forgotten.
As the Everlasting Night approached, the Desolate Man moved to the south, and a series of bloody battles broke out with the Left King's Palace in the East Wilderness. The hatred between the two tribes that had been separated for a thousand years finally woke up. The hatred between the two sides could no longer be resolved. The conversation between General Leeb and Tang Xiaotang about the name of the grassland and the Wilderness was, in fact, a declaration of their positions.
You are the Desolate Man, I am the barbarian, so this battle is inevitable.
"There are many powerful people around the altar, but no one attacked you. It is not because they do not want to bully you. Everyone knows that the Academy has a higher status. Even though you are a second generation disciple, you are not their junior. It is because they dare not attack you, because they are afraid of your identity in the Academy."
Leeb looked at Tang Xiaotang and said, "The hatred between the Golden Tribe Royal Court and the Tang Empire and the Academy is like the hatred between the Desolate Man and the Golden Tribe Royal Court. It is already irreconcilable. I do not care about your identity in the Academy. I admire your singing and your battle, so I will definitely kill you."
Tang Xiaotang now knew from Chen Pipi that this man was the most powerful martial artist in the Golden Tribe Royal Court. But there was no fear on her innocent face, only calmness.
Unlike Leeb, she did not say such a long speech before the battle. She rushed to Leeb with the iron rod in her hand. Her leather boots landed on the ground and crushed the peach blossoms.
The iron cudgel whizzed down and hit Leeb's face. It was simple and direct.
Leeb drew the scimitar from his waist and charged forward. His attack was also simple and direct.
Both of them lived in the Wilderness, so their fighting styles were very similar. There were no fancy tricks or conspiracies. It all depended on who was stronger and whose cultivation was more profound.
The saber and cudgel clashed, producing a thunderous boom!
The divine priests and deacons with lower cultivation bases near the altar paled at the sound of the explosion. The ordinary believers on the front plateau felt a sharp pain in their ears. They covered their ears and sat down.
Leeb's pupils constricted because the knife in his hand was broken! His scimitar, which was as sharp as snow, did not manage to cut through the crude iron rod in Tang Xiaotang's hand. Instead, it was shattered into pieces!
What kind of weapon was this ugly iron rod? It was able to pierce through the Clear Light Array of the Peach Mountain. How could it smash his Refined Saber into pieces so easily?
People on the front plateau of the Peach Mountain looked at the iron rod in Tang Xiaotang's hand differently. They did not know that this ugly iron rod was a sacred relic of the Devil's Doctrine. It was originally a huge blood-red scimitar. In the battle of Chang 'an, the Abbey Dean created seven Tianqi rainbows and tried to escape. Yu Lian jumped up to the sky and cut the rainbows with this blood-red huge scimitar.
The blood-red huge scimitar cut the rainbows and was eroded by the power of Haotian contained in the rainbows. However, its essence remained the same. Tang Xiaotang used it as a crowbar on the stone steps on the precipice. After all, it could even cut the rainbows. What kind of weapon in the world could stop it?
The moment the blade and rod clashed, the victor was decided. But the victor hadn't yet been decided when Leeb's expression changed abruptly. He let out a shrill cry as origin power from the grassland's sacrificial offerings gushed out of his body. He clenched his right hand into a fist and, like a small mountain, ruthlessly smashed it at the iron rod that had already reached his eyes!
The fist and the cudgel met and another loud sound was heard!
The Divine Priests and Deacons around the altar covered their ears in pain. Some of them even spat out blood. They had suffered internal injuries from the shock!
Leeb was the number one martial arts master in the Golden Tribe Royal Court. In terms of strength and cultivation, he was unrivaled in the world. He once fought with General Xu Chi of the Tang Empire in the Northern Borderline and was on par with him. Unless Xiahou came back to life and the Tang Empire came here, it would be hard to find someone to subdue him. Tang Xiaotang could not do it.
The mountain-like fist hit the iron rod. The sacred relic of the Devil's Doctrine was not easily destroyed. It did not deform at all. But the overwhelming power was transferred from the iron rod to Tang Xiaotang.
She was knocked back with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Her hand holding the iron rod was slightly trembling. But she pressed her lips tightly and did not make a sound.
The saber that had accompanied him for so many years was destroyed. Leeb's ferocity was aroused. He punched Tang Xiaotang and did not stop. He shouted and rushed forward with his fists clenched.
He was forced to stop after two steps.
Because Tang Xiaotang was here again. She did not adjust her Qi-circulation or even wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She held the iron rod in her hand and rushed forward again!
The scattered peach blossoms in front of the altar were all crushed into dust by her leather boots.
Tang Xiaotang and Leeb met again. Both of them used short weapons, cudgel and fists.
It was as if two hills had collided with each other. The front yard of Peach Mountain was once again filled with a deafening roar. The air was shaken violently and the wind whistled.
Tang Xiaotang was knocked back again, this time even further. Fresh blood dripped from her body and it was a tragic sight. However, she let out a clear shout and charged back into the arena once again. Her youthful face was filled with stubbornness and ruthlessness.
The iron rod fell again and the mountain-like fists hit again. The powerful forces met again and separated again. Tang Xiaotang did not know how many times she had rushed forward.
Although she did not manage to knock Leeb down, she did not stop and did not take a break. Leeb did not move forward again except at the beginning.
Terrifying crashing sounds could be heard all around the altar. Many priests and deacons could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. Dozens of ordinary believers who were closer to the altar directly fainted from the vibrations in the air. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
All the powerhouses watching the battle were greatly shocked. Tang Xiaotang was obviously not a match for Leeb, but she kept attacking. Her strong fighting will was too terrifying.
Ning Que stood in the crowd and thought of the scene he saw at the gate of Chang 'an several years ago. At that time, Tang Xiaotang was cheated of all her money and had to beg all the way to Chang' an. Thinking that she could not embarrass the Academy in Chang 'an, she decided to be a performer. She lay on the bench and smashed rocks on her chest.
Today, when he saw her constantly attacking Leeb, he seemed to see an iron hammer pounding on a thick bluestone. Under the bluestone lay a little girl. Her breasts were not big, so the bluestone could not be flatter. As the iron hammer kept pounding on it, the bluestone would eventually break.
Chen Pipi stood on the altar and watched the battle in silence. His thick black eyebrows were knitted together and his thick lips were slightly trembling, but he was forcing a smile.
He remembered what Tang Xiaotang had told him. It was when the Desolate Man moved to the south. In order to protect the old, weak, women and children in the tribe, she and her brother Tang drove away fierce beasts everywhere. Once, they encountered a pack of terrifying Snowfield Direwolves. She said that she was very scared at that time, but she did not think too much about it. She held the blood-red saber and kept charging at the wolves. She kept charging until she even forgot how many times she had charged at them. He said, "Aren't you afraid?" She said that as long as she started fighting, she would forget her fear.
…
…
In the front yard of Peach Mountain, the collision between the two cultivators continued. The peach blossoms had long been broken, and even the wind was broken. It seemed that it would never stop.
Just when everyone felt that their hearts were about to burst and shatter, the sound of impact suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at the battlefield in astonishment, only to find that the battle had ended at some point in time.
The battle had ended, not because Tang Xiaotang had stopped her charge.
It was because Lebu took a step back.
The proud top martial artist of the Golden Tribe Royal Court retreated into the crowd in silence.
Tang Xiaotang was covered in blood. Blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth and her hand that was holding the iron rod. She had broken many bones, but she still stood straight, as if she could charge again at any time.
Lebu was not injured, but his face was a little pale. His right hand was slightly trembling, and it seemed that he would not clench his fist again in a short time.
The battle ended because he chose to take a step back, which meant that the situation was under his control. Only in this way could he end the battle easily.
He still looked powerful.
Tang Xiaotang's braid was untied, and she looked very embarrassed.
She was no match for Lebu, and she was covered in wounds.
But it was Lebu who took a step back first.
The battle seemed to be inconclusive, but in fact, it was already over.
Lebu was definitely the winner in terms of strength, but he would rather admit defeat.
"I admit defeat."
Lebu looked at Tang Xiaotang and said, "I've seen people who are not afraid of death, but I've never seen anyone like you. I didn't understand why you were so crazy at first, but when I thought of your background, I understood. So I admit defeat. I want to kill you, but I don't want to risk my life to fight you. I'm not crazy."
Tang Xiaotang was a Desolate Man, a descendant of the Devil's Doctrine, and a disciple of the Academy. That was her background.
In many people's eyes, the Desolate Men on the battlefield were all crazy. The Devil's Doctrine also liked to produce crazy people, and the Academy had the most famous crazy person in the history of cultivation, Crazy Ke.
So she was naturally crazy when she fought.
Tang Xiaotang calmed down after the battle. She looked at the many powerful cultivators around the altar, and felt her hand holding the iron rod trembling slightly. She suddenly smiled.
Then she looked at Chen Pipi and said, "It seems that I can't take you with me."
