Teng Qingshan walked to the bed and removed the cloth wrapping it.
Whew!
The cloth fell to the side, revealing a stone inscription that seemed to be carved out of green jade. Regardless of whether it was the axe carving on the left side or the word "Dao" on the right side, Teng Qingshan felt as if a huge axe was chopping down in front of him. He could clearly feel the threatening aura.
"It really is the eleventh move!" Teng Qingshan was secretly delighted.
Based on his understanding of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》, Teng Qingshan determined that among the thirty-six forms, the first twelve forms, the middle twelve forms, and the last twelve forms were increasingly profound. Teng Qingshan had obtained six stone inscriptions from the Mu Clan in the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City, and one of them was the twelfth move.
"This is the eleventh move and the twelfth move. It happens to be the last two moves of the first twelve moves. The 'Earth Elemental Dao' and 'Metal Elemental Dao' should be the most profound. "
"Once I study it thoroughly, I will be able to create the ninth move of the 《Earth Elemental Fist》 and step into the Emptiness Realm."
Teng Qingshan stared at the eleventh move as if he had obtained a treasure!
The more profound the stone inscription, the better it was. What was most suitable for oneself was the best.
"Fu Dao." Teng Qingshan turned his head and asked, "What's the situation like now?"
"The news has only been leaked for two days. The clans around the Ox-Head Mountain are now able to dispatch their armies to the Ox-Head Mountain as soon as possible." Fu Dao smiled and said, "The armies of many clans are still on their way. I estimate that the armies will only be able to gather the day after tomorrow. "
"Moreover, the great clans are currently in a stalemate. The Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit is too tempting. However, none of the clans in the Eastern Flower Region can take it by force. Once a clan takes over the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit, it will definitely be attacked by the other clans. "
"Therefore, the best way for the Fu Clan is to wait and see and fish in troubled waters." Fu Dao smiled and said, "Perhaps, the Fu Clan will be able to take advantage of the situation."
Fu Dao was also very confident.
Fu Dao himself was a Golden Dan Innate Martial Saint, so he knew Teng Qingshan's strength very well … Although Teng Qingshan was also a Golden Dan Innate Martial Saint, in Fu Dao's opinion, Teng Qingshan alone was equivalent to seven or eight Golden Dan Innate Martial Saints! Teng Qingshan was a very important trump card for the Fu Family.
"Since there's nothing else, Fu Dao … from tonight onwards, I'll be cultivating in seclusion. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me," Teng Qingshan said.
"Alright." Fu Dao agreed. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. As expected of a super expert, he didn't forget to cultivate even in the military camp.
*****
In the big tent of the Yan Clan's army camp.
Inside the tent, the six of them sat in two rows. The left row was occupied by House Yan Baishou's senior executives, while the right row was occupied by House Xiahou's senior executives, led by Xiahou An. At this moment, the upper echelons of the two great families were discussing.
"Brother Yan, isn't it just that Teng Qingshan was invited by the Fu Family? What's the big deal? You don't have to worry. At that time, I already said that he wasn't qualified to be invited with three stone inscriptions! " In the second row of the House Xiahou, the bearded man sneered and said, "Where did this Teng Qingshan come from? Ever since he started cultivating, rumor has it that he fought with Fu Dao. Then, he barged into the Dong Residence and captured Dong Zhezi. That's all he has. "
"Capturing Dong Zhezi is a proof of Teng Qingshan's strength. However, he only sent a True Dan Innate Realm Martial Saint flying with a kick. Most Golden Dan Innate Realm experts can do that. This only proves that he's a Golden Dan Innate Realm Martial Saint. "
"Everyone is afraid of Teng Qingshan. Isn't it because Fu Dao addressed Teng Qingshan as' Mister '? They all think that Teng Qingshan is a top figure among Golden Dan Innate Realm Martial Saints. "
"However, who saw his battle with Fu Dao? No one saw it! "The bearded man sneered." No one saw it. Who knows how strong Teng Qingshan is? Maybe … Teng Qingshan did Fu Dao a favor. That's why Fu Dao acted this way. Besides Fu Dao, who else among the Golden Dan Innate Realm Martial Saints did he defeat? "
"Martial Saintess? The Steel Sword Martial Saint of the Northern Frosty Region? The Blood Axe Martial Saint of the Southern Mountain Region? Or the Rising Sun Martial Saint of the West Tang Region? "
"Hmph, he didn't defeat any of them! Why do you all think so highly of him? "The bearded man from the House Xiahou said casually.
Not many people knew about the battle between Teng Qingshan and the Rising Sun Martial Saint, Mu Wang.
"Third Brother." The one-eyed man sitting at the head of the House Xiahou said solemnly, "Don't underestimate Teng Qingshan. No matter what, we've confirmed that the Most Powerful Martial Saint of the Hall of Assassins is most likely Teng Qingshan. How can we underestimate someone who is respected as the Most Powerful Martial Saint of the Hall of Assassins? "
"Big Brother, you're wrong." The bearded man glared and said, "First of all, it's only our guess whether or not the Most Powerful Martial Saint is Teng Qingshan. After all, the Hall of Assassins hasn't made his identity public. Second of all, strength isn't something you can boast about, it's something you can fight for! "
"Whether one is strong or weak depends on one's fists and achievements." The bearded man sneered and said, "What's the point of spreading false rumors?"
"We still don't know how strong Teng Qingshan is. There's no need to boost the morale of others and belittle our own." The silver-haired old man sitting at the third seat of the Yan Clan said with a smile, "Moreover, the Steel Sword Martial Saint is also with us. The Steel Sword Martial Saint is the number one Martial Saint of the North Frosty Region. With the Steel Sword Martial Saint, why would we be afraid of Teng Qingshan? "
"Yes."
"Yes, it's not difficult for the Steel Sword Martial Saint to defeat Fu Dao. If the Steel Sword Martial Saint and Teng Qingshan are compared, even if Teng Qingshan is powerful, there's not much difference. "
"After all, this Teng Qingshan has never defeated the Martial Saintess, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, and the other two. I reckon that Teng Qingshan is at most on par with the Steel Sword Martial Saint and the others to be called the Most Powerful Martial Saint. "
The six members of the Yan Clan and Xiahou Clan were discussing.
Among the four regions of Duanmu Continent, there were the Martial Saintess of the East Flower Region, the Rising Sun Martial Saint of the West Tang Region, the Blood Axe Martial Saint of the South Mountain Region, and the Steel Sword Martial Saint of the North Frosty Region. The four great Martial Saints were the number one Martial Saints of the four regions. However … … among the four, the Rising Sun Martial Saint was the strongest. Therefore, the Rising Sun Martial Saint was called the number one Martial Saint under the heavens.
"When will the Steel Sword Martial Saint arrive?" Yan Baishou asked.
"Logically speaking, within these two days, he might arrive earlier or later. This kind of expert will not listen to our orders obediently. "Patriarch Xiahou said indifferently. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the entrance of the tent with his single eye.
The six people in the tent quietened down.
"Reporting to Patriarch, the Steel Sword Martial Saint has arrived." A voice sounded from outside.
"Haha, he arrived just as I said." Yan Baishou laughed. "Everyone, let's go welcome the Steel Sword Martial Saint."
… …
Not long after, Yan Baishou and the other five escorted a stern-looking middle-aged man with silver hair at his temples back to the tent. This stern-looking middle-aged man wore a thick, silver leather robe and carried a huge, pitch-black iron sword on his back. His eyes were as sharp as swords.
This man was the most dazzling figure of the Tianfeng Clan.
The Tianfeng Martial Immortal valued the younger generation the most. Both the Mu Clan of the Rising Sun Trading Company and the Tianfeng Clan valued the talented experts within their clan. In the Mu Clan, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal valued the First Elder Mu Wang the most. He hoped that Mu Wang could break through to the Emptiness Realm and become a Martial Immortal. Once Mu Wang became a Martial Immortal …..
The Rising Sun Trading Company could prosper for another three to four hundred years without having to lower their heads and work like a turtle.
The Tianfeng Clan was the same. They placed their hopes on the Steel Sword Martial Saint and hoped that he could reach the Emptiness Realm. The Steel Sword Martial Saint was indeed very strong. Apart from losing to the Rising Sun Martial Saint, Mu Wang, more than ten years ago, he had never lost to anyone else. Moreover, after more than ten years of bitter cultivation, with his talent ….. he had already made great progress.
The Steel Sword Martial Saint had always wanted to compete with the Rising Sun Martial Saint to see who was stronger! However, the Rising Sun Martial Saint rarely left the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City.
"Everyone, please sit." The Steel Sword Martial Saint sat in the central seat of honor.
The Yan Clan and the Xiahou Clan sat in two rows just like before.
"I don't need to explain the importance of the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit. For so many years, the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit has always been in the hands of the Tianfeng Clan. This time, the Tianfeng Clan must obtain the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit. The Tianfeng Clan will fully support the two clans in obtaining the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit. As for the distribution of the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit ….. your two clans have spent a lot of effort. The Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit is very large. The Tianfeng Clan will take sixty percent, and the two of you will take twenty percent each. Twenty percent of the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit is enough to make your two clans stronger. Do you have any objections? "The Steel Sword Martial Saint's sharp gaze swept across the six people below.
If the other two clans fought over the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit, the Tianfeng Clan would take sixty percent.
"Of course we have no objections." Yan Baishou frowned and said, "The Yan Clan and the Xiahou Clan's armies have the right to obtain the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit. However, we are worried about … the Golden Dan Innate Expert Martial Saint. Especially that 'Teng Qingshan' invited by the Fu Clan. This Teng Qingshan is too mysterious, and no one knows his background. Moreover, the Martial Saint with the title 'Most Powerful Martial Saint' in the Hall of Assassins is most likely this Teng Qingshan. "
"This is simple."
The Steel Sword Martial Saint instructed, "Yan Baishou, order someone to send an invitation to the Fu Clan. Tell them that I, Helian Haoyan, wish to have a spar with Teng Qingshan. The time is set for tomorrow morning at the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Valley in the Ox-Head Mountain."
Challenge?
Everyone present was shocked.
"Mister Helian, this …" Patriarch Xiahou hastily said.
"I am going there for two reasons. Firstly, I wish to have a spar with an expert of his level. Secondly, I want to probe his strength. Once we know his strength, we can then decide on a strategy. If his strength is only average, then we won't have to worry about him when we fight for the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Deposit, "the Steel Sword Martial Saint said calmly.
… …
At the main entrance of the Fu Clan's barracks:
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sound of hooves thundered as dozens of Hunchbacked Beasts galloped over. The person in the lead was riding a One-Horned War Hou.
"Roar ~ ~" The War Hou and Hunchbacked Beasts stopped as they pulled the reins.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The guards of the Fu Clan all held long spears in their hands. The long spears stood upright, and the tips of the spears reflected a cold glint as they pointed at the horsemen.
"Who goes there?" The leader of the guards shouted.
The horseman riding on the War Hou replied in a loud voice, "Under the orders of the Steel Sword Martial Saint, I am here to send an invitation to challenge Mister Teng to a spar at the Fiery Gilt Steel Ore Valley in the Ox-Head Mountain tomorrow morning." His voice rumbled like thunder as it reverberated in the military camp.
"I won't be seeing you out." The horseman threw the invitation to the guards and led the horsemen under his command away.
… …
The entire military camp of the Fu Clan was filled with discussions. Fu Dao even personally came to Teng Qingshan's tent.
"Mister, Mister." Fu Dao lifted the flap of the tent.
Teng Qingshan was practicing his fist technique in the tent.
"What's the matter?" Teng Qingshan said calmly, "I told you not to disturb me unless it's something important."
"Mister, have you heard about the Steel Sword Martial Saint's invitation?" Fu Dao hastily asked. In Fu Dao's opinion, this was an extremely important matter.
Teng Qingshan frowned.
Teng Qingshan had defeated the Rising Sun Martial Saint with the strength of one million two hundred thousand Jin and the Five Elemental Spear Art before he had broken through to the late stage of the Supreme Force. After he reached the late stage of the Supreme Force, he could even defeat the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and Teng Qingshan!
A Steel Sword Martial Saint?
What was this?
"I heard it. Tomorrow morning, I will squeeze some time to go to the Ox-Head Mountain and defeat that Steel Sword Martial Saint." Teng Qingshan said indifferently, "Alright, you may leave."
