Chu County, in a restaurant in Scholar Tree City.
A man dressed in plain clothes was sitting at a table by the window, drinking wine and eating. A long saber was tied to his waist.
"Sir, your large plate of mutton!" The waiter ran over with a plate and placed the dishes on the table. "Please enjoy." He then turned around and left. However, as he walked away, he touched the man's left arm. Strangely … … the sleeve of the left arm was lifted up by the waiter.
One-armed!
His left arm was broken!
The man looked at his left arm and continued to drink and eat without a care. Losing his arm was something that happened a long time ago. In the past, he had been desperate and crazy. However, time had healed everything. After twenty years of hard work, he once again possessed great strength. He was much more stable and frightening than he was twenty years ago.
"Yesterday afternoon, Tie Yi Hall sent out a team of over a hundred elite experts from Chu County's Chu City to Xuyang County. The leader of the team was Tie Yi Hall's Elder 'Wei Canglong'. Ten years ago, he was an expert ranked in the 《Earthly Ranking》. "Not far behind the one-armed man, a few warriors at a table started to discuss.
The one-armed man laughed coldly.
Wei Canglong?
There were countless experts in this world. If one didn't improve, they would be replaced by those who improved. Wei Canglong was ranked in the 《Earthly Ranking》 ten years ago, but he was only ranked 71st. Now, he had been replaced by an even stronger expert. Of course, being able to stay on the 《Earthly Ranking》 for a short period of time also represented the strength of the Tie Yi Hall's Elder.
"Why did Tie Yi Hall send experts to Xuyang County? Could it be that Tie Yi Hall wants to control Xuyang County?"
"You're wrong. Did you know that yesterday, there was news from the Blazing Mountain of Xuyang County that an adolescent Red Scaled Beast was born! Moreover, it was eating people in a village called 'Jin Jia Village'. It was discovered by many warriors and killed its way into the Blazing Mountain. That was only a young beast that was nearly three meters tall! Do you know what the appearance of an adolescent Red Scaled Beast means? "The young warrior said proudly.
The one-armed man's body trembled slightly.
Adolescent Red Scaled Beast?
"The appearance of an adolescent Red Scaled Beast means that there is a Black Fire Spirit Fruit and a Black Fire Spirit Root! It is said that once an expert at the peak of the Postliminary Realm eats the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, he will become an Innate Ranker. " The young warrior said. His words immediately caused an uproar. "It's that Black Fire Spirit Root. If you eat it, you will directly become a First Rated Warrior!"
The one-armed man drank a cup of wine, and his gaze became even more profound.
Juvenile Red Scaled Beast? Black Fire Spirit Fruit?
"Little Fool! Bill! "The one-armed man said indifferently.
"Very well, Sir." The waiter hurriedly ran over. "That's a total of six straps and twenty coins."
He casually tossed down a piece of broken silver that weighed about seven qian, "Is this enough?" The waiter, who had been in contact with silver for many years, weighed it in his hand and said, "Enough, enough."
The one-armed man immediately walked out, led his horse, and rushed towards the Flaming Mountain.
"Black Fire Spirit Fruit! I must get it! "The one-armed man's gaze was cold and fierce.
…
The scene that happened in the restaurant was very normal. Scholar Tree City was very close to Flame Mountain, so the news reached them almost the very next day. This news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. It was getting faster and faster, crazily spreading in all directions.
Many warriors, either to fight for the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. Or to fight for the Black Fire Spirit Root.
Or even to watch the show.
Everyone knew that the Flame Mountain would be very lively in the next one or two months. The experts of the entire Yangzhou, and even the northern Qingzhou, would have time to rush to the Flame Mountain. With so many experts gathered, it would be a rare event. Perhaps there would be many powerful experts. For example, the experts of the 《Earth Ranking》, 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》, and 《Young Phoenix Ranking》.
…
A caravan slowly advanced on the official road.
A caravan with a large number of merchants would usually invite many guards. The strength of the guards was also divided into high and low levels. The stronger ones could sit comfortably in the carriages. Unless it was necessary, they would be too lazy to make a move.
Creak, creak.
The wheels of the carriage rolled. On one of the carriages, a barefooted young man dressed in plain clothes sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his left hand holding onto his Zhanmadao.
No one dared to disturb this young man.
Initially, the other guards looked down on this barefooted young man dressed in plain clothes. There were two guards who wanted to extort money from this young man, but … the other guards only saw a flash of blood, and the two guards fell to the ground with their throats slit. The group of guards was overwhelmed with shock.
The young man drew his blade, killed two people, and sheathed his blade.
They didn't even notice!
The speed at which he drew his blade and the ferocity of his blade were too terrifying. From then on, the guards didn't dare to provoke this barefooted young man.
"Did you guys hear it when we were resting at the inn just now? An adolescent Red Scaled Beast appeared in the Flame Mountain at the border of Xuyang County. Once the adolescent Red Scaled Beast grows up and eats the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, it will be at least three Zhang tall and five to six Zhang long … "The other guards discussed the news as they advanced.
The barefooted young man, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.
"Black Fire Spirit Fruit? Black Fire Spirit Root? "The barefooted young man squinted his eyes, like a cold Lone Wolf.
Following which, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. "These guards are right. This time, it will definitely attract thousands of warriors! I have been roaming the world, eating and sleeping in the wilderness for eight years. Those so-called warriors at the peak of the Postliminary Realm couldn't even withstand a single move from me! This time, with so many experts gathered, it's time for me, 'Yan Tie', to train hard for eight years and become famous! Master will definitely be happy if he finds out that I'm listed in both the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Earth Ranking! If I can obtain the Black Fire Spirit Fruit … "
Thinking of this, the barefooted young man no longer hesitated.
The barefooted young man carried the bag beside him and leaped.
Hu!
With a kick, he sent a guard who was riding a war horse flying. He sat on the war horse and whipped the horse, causing it to gallop at a high speed.
"My horse!" The guard hastily shouted.
"Bang!"
A hard object smashed into his head. The guard looked down and saw that it was a tael of gold.
"So stingy." The guard cursed in a low voice. "My war horse also cost nearly a hundred taels of silver. Why don't you give me a little more?" The guard ran and temporarily boarded the carriage.
"Brother, you should count yourself lucky that the God of Killing gave you gold. What can you do if he doesn't give it to you? "The other guards laughed.
"That Death God, where is he going?"
"Who knows. It's good that he left. Here, I always have goosebumps!"
The guards left halfway. The merchants didn't care and couldn't do anything about it. Furthermore, the merchants paid half of the money along the way and the other half when they reached the destination. They weren't afraid that the guards would escape. They wouldn't be at a disadvantage anyway.
*****
Whether it was those who wanted the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, Black Fire Spirit Root, or those who wanted to join in the fun. Or those who wanted to take advantage of the gathering of experts to make a name for themselves. All of them rushed to the Blazing Mountain after receiving the news!
There were some who roamed the world, eating and sleeping in the wilderness. They wanted to become famous in one fell swoop. This was a good opportunity!
There were also those who had achieved success and fame, and their hearts yearned to reach the Innate Realm!
There were also those who bore deep hatred and wanted to rapidly increase their strength to take revenge!
There were also those who wanted to join in the fun!
There were disciples of some reclusive peerless experts who wanted to become famous throughout the world!
… …
In short, all kinds of people were rushing to the Blazing Mountain.
*****
Xuyang County, in a luxurious mansion in Hua City.
This was one of the outposts of the Gui Yuan Sect in Hua City. Teng Qingshan and the rest were temporarily staying here.
"These two days. The Blazing Mountain is really lively. " Teng Qingshan stood by the window of the pavilion, drinking wine. His gaze occasionally swept across the streets in the distance. "So many warriors have arrived at the Blazing Mountain. It's only been two days and there are already hundreds of people gathered there! Three inns have been opened over there! "
There were too many people, and the powerful warriors didn't care about money.
The inns could take the opportunity to earn a large sum of money. Hence, three more inns were built in the Blazing Mountain area.
"But that adolescent Red Scaled Beast is indeed cunning! It hasn't appeared for the past two days. I've entered the Blazing Mountain three times to search, but I haven't found any traces of the adolescent Red Scaled Beast. " Teng Qingshan had also thought of ways to search, but he couldn't find the adolescent Red Scaled Beast. The adolescent Red Scaled Beast had obviously sensed danger.
However, Teng Qingshan was sure of one thing — — the adolescent Red Scaled Beast would not leave its nest until it had eaten the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.
"Cousin is really diligent." Teng Qingshan glanced at the courtyard in the distance. Cousin Teng Qinghu was practicing the spear art 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》.
"Hmm?" From the corner of his eyes, Teng Qingshan noticed that a large number of people wearing black heavy armor and riding black war horses had appeared on the streets in the distance. Among them, there were also many who weren't wearing heavy armor.
Teng Qingshan recognized the two people leading the group with a single glance!
The one with long silver hair and a cold gaze was the First Commander, 'Ji Hong'. As for the one with a cold expression and dressed in black, it was the Fourth Commander, 'Guan Lu'.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Teng Qingshan immediately went down the stairs and walked towards the front door. The person in charge of this station, 'Yang Ta', was already waiting at the front door.
"Lord Commanders." Yang Ta said respectfully, "Leave these war horses to my men. Lords, please come in and rest." He waved his hand and a group of servants immediately ran over to lead the horses.
A majestic group of people walked in under the lead of Ji Hong and Guan Lu.
"Lord Commanders." Teng Qingshan cupped his hands towards the two people in front of him.
"Haha, Qingshan!" Ji Hong smiled when he saw Teng Qingshan. He walked over and patted Teng Qingshan's shoulder, "You've brought glory to our Gui Yuan Sect this time. You actually defeated Meng Tian. Haha … That's right, let me ask you. That Meng Tian, did you really kill him?"
Meng Tian had died without a corpse. Furthermore, there was no one around at that time. No one knew if it was Teng Qingshan who killed him.
"Of course he was killed by me." Teng Qingshan said.
"Good, good." Ji Hong's smile deepened. He then turned around and said, "This is Commander Guan! This time, Commander Guan and I have been ordered by the Sect Leader to bring thirty Black Armoured Corps elites and thirty core disciples here. Although the appearance of the juvenile Red Scaled Beast has attracted a large number of experts, our Gui Yuan Sect is determined to obtain that treasure! Qingshan, when the time comes, don't hold back! "
Whether it was defeating Meng Tian or killing him.
Teng Qingshan at least had the strength of an Earth Ranking expert. An Earth Ranking expert would be of great use when fighting for the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.
"Yes, Lord Commander." Teng Qingshan replied. Suddenly, he glanced behind Ji Hong. Teng Qingshan was startled. His gaze locked onto the face of a stocky man wearing heavy armor. The Black Armoured Corps elite expert also looked at Teng Qingshan in confusion.
"Brother, you, are you called Li Jinfu?" Teng Qingshan could still clearly remember the genius from the Li Jia Village who had carried a mace of 120 Jin.
