Chapter 1872 - 1863: Retreat
Looking at those bloodied claws, the Tiger Teeth Beast’s eyes glimmered with even more ferocity.
Ao Cangsheng originally thought that giving the beast a bit of a lesson would make it retreat.
But unexpectedly, seeing the beast’s blood only made it go even more berserk, launching a third attack on Ao Cangsheng.
However, before the Tiger Teeth Beast could charge forward, a white rainbow pierced through its body, and the enormous beast was sliced in two.
With the beast now toothless, Ao Cangsheng folded his longsword and continued his search forward.
Soon enough, in front of proud Ao Cangsheng, there appeared another ferocious beast of peculiar appearance.
Besides, the beast seemed unreal, just a shadow.
At first glance, proud Ao Cangsheng thought he had encountered one of the Dragon’s nine shadows.
After careful examination, he realized.
Her voice was like a silver bell. Besides her striking beauty, there was nothing proud about her appearance, so Ao Cangsheng’s feelings were quite good.
"I am from Tang!"
In hesitation, proud Ao Cangsheng spoke up.
"Tang Country? Where is that?"
The young lady named Qingqing looked puzzled, as if she had never heard of the place.
The girl was surprised, and naturally, Ao Cangsheng was even more surprised.
As the ruler of a nation, the Tang Dynasty could be considered a giant.
But such a creature, even a girl hadn’t heard of it; this situation surely would astonish Ao Cangsheng, wouldn’t it?
Proud Ao Cangsheng thought for a moment and explained, "Tang has thousands of miles of territory. It’s not a small country. It borders Zhao Country to the west, Zhu Country to the east, Changli Country to the north, and Yao Country to the south."
"I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of it. I’ve never heard of any of the countries you mention!"
The girl from the Xuanhe Sect said apologetically, struggling to smile.
The people standing next to him showed expressions of disdain, seemingly looking down on proud Ao Cangsheng.
Seeing Cai Qing mention she had never heard of it, the image instantly flashed in Ao Cangsheng’s mind.
"Does the girl know Luoyun Valley?"
Ruled over seven countries, Ao Cangsheng thought the girl should recognize Luoyun Valley.
Indeed, upon hearing "Qiuyun Valley," the girl finally nodded slowly.
But suddenly, she furrowed her brows and said, "As far as I know, the disciples of Luoyun Valley are not qualified to enter the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm. How did you enter?"
Hearing this, proud Ao Cangsheng didn’t respond immediately.
Luoyun Valley held authority over seven grand factions and was considered a giant.
But, hearing the implication in this girl’s voice, it seemed even such a powerful place didn’t have the qualification to enter the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm.
So, these people, which giant’s children were they?
After a moment, proud Ao Cangsheng said, "I’m not from Luoyun Valley, I’m from the Dragon Temple."
"The Dragon Temple? The academy founded by the Water Dragon King?"
The Qingqing girl seemed to have heard of an academy and asked, furrowing her brows.
Proud Ao Cangsheng nodded, "Yes, it is the martial arts academy established by the Water Dragon King."
The Qingqing girl suddenly seemed enlightened, "Oh, so you’re a successor of the Water Dragon King, no wonder you could enter the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm."
About the Water Dragon King, what the Qingqing girl knew had been passed down by older people.
But as with the death of the Water Dragon King, everything surrounding him gradually buried in dust.
Even the temple built by the Water Dragon King, now it was still a tiny martial arts venue compared to their power.
"From where is the girl?"
Ao Cangsheng was also curious about this girl’s background, so he asked.
"I’m from the Xuanhe Sect, and my name is Bai Shiyu. What is your name?"
Qingqing girl smiled faintly, revealing a pair of shallow dimples, looking exceedingly adorable.
Proud Ao also smiled slightly, "My name is proud Ao Cangsheng, it’s an honor to meet you!"
The others standing by initially despised proud Ao Cangsheng.
Seeing him chatting happily with Bai Shiyu now, their hearts filled with increased contempt and jealousy.
"Kid, since you can enter the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm, I won’t make it difficult for you."
"You may hunt, but do not move!"
The young man in red glanced coldly at proud Ao Cangsheng, delivering a warning.
"Why can’t I catch a shadow?"
Upon hearing this, the young man’s face flushed, and proud Ao Cangsheng’s eyes narrowed, his words sharp.
"Because I’m the boss here!"
The young man in red raised his head high, displaying an arrogant look.
"Chu Murong, what do you mean?"
Bai Shiyu couldn’t stand the arrogance of the red-clad young man and scolded.
"It’s not that interesting. I just want to remind the native that being able to enter the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm is a blessing, not to take it for granted!"
Chu Murong sneered, his words almost dripping with acrimony.
"What you are doing is too domineering. If he can enter the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm, he has the same rights as us to capture the beast’s shadow. On what grounds do you disrespect him?"
Bai Shiyu’s cheeks flushed slightly, revealing an expression of anger.
Seeing this, Chu Murong couldn’t help but sneer, "Bai Shiyu, are you interested in this kid? Otherwise, why do you keep speaking for him?"
"Chu Murong, don’t spout nonsense. My Bai Shiyu’s affairs do not require your two cents!"
Bai Shiyu pointed at Chu Murong what disgust, her tone icy.
Chu Murong smiled lightly, "I don’t care what you do, but if this person."
This strike not only astonished the audience and Chu Murong but also shocked proud Ao Cangsheng himself.
In this strike, Ao Cangsheng exerted seven strengths, resulting in a tie.
After this punch, proud Ao Cangsheng realized to his surprise that the strength of this red-clad young man was truly above water.
Such power, he thought, could easily earn a third place in the Hidden Dragon Banquet lineup.
It seemed that these children from large powers indeed had well-honed practice, contemplated proud Ao Cangsheng.
In the midst of proud Ao Cangsheng’s inner astonishment, Chu Murong’s gaze also clearly revealed a deep shock beyond color.
As he said before, in his eyes, proud Ao Cangsheng was like a country bumpkin, unworthy of being compared to this major nation.
But now, he felt it outrageous that a country bumpkin could punch him three steps away.
Chu Murong felt shocked, ashamed, and angry, suddenly sneering, "I must admit, you folks from small nations are indeed skilled at sneak attacks."
"Just now, you truly angered me. Now, let me see your real strength!"
Finishing his words, Chu Murong’s Qi surged like a tide, posing ready for a big fight.
Facing Chu Murong’s provocation, proud Ao Cangsheng only smiled coldly, also preparing to confront the enemy.
"Chu Murong, aren’t you afraid of ridicule for bullying the weak?"
As the battle was about to break out, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded; it was Bai Shiyu speaking.
Hearing this, Chu Murong’s expression changed.
According to Bai Shiyu’s words, since Chu Murong was older than Ao Cangsheng, even if he won against Ao Cangsheng, he gained no glory; losing would cause him disgrace.
That earlier punch clearly showcased some formidable difficulty in dealing with the youngster before him.
Thus, Chu Murong had to reconsider whether the battle was worth it.
After careful consideration, Chu Murong finally chose to retreat.
"Kid, today you’re lucky. I won’t reason with you!"
Chu Murong withdrew his Qi, no longer looking at proud Ao Cangsheng with disdain, and spoke with a high and mighty tone.
Ao Cangsheng responded with a cold gaze, showing no trace of fear.
"Hmph!"
Afraid to look further, Chu Murong exhaled a cold snort, passing by proud Ao Cangsheng.
With this wave of elimination, Bai Shiyu’s heart was instantly at ease.
