Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 100 This is a high-class battle
Azhi thought they were going to Echo Lane, and Lan Shaoze thought so too.
Lan Shaoze is not that naive. Having suffered so many losses at the hands of Tang Zheng, it is impossible to think that Tang Zheng is simply running away.
The back street of Yangxian Tower goes straight over four walls and enters West Street.
After climbing over two more walls, you will reach the dead end of Echo Alley.
Two servants of Lan Shaoze, Lao Ding and Xiao Gui, died in Huiyin Lane, as did Lan Shaoze's confidant Lan Yanyi and Feng Le, one of the ten direct disciples of the leader of the Qintian Sect.
Lan Shaoze found it funny as he chased after him: "A one-star warrior wasted so much star power on the road..."
Regardless of whether Echo Alley was Tang Zheng's favorite place to kill people, just to climb over the walls from the purification room of Yangxian Tower to reach Echo Alley, one would need to perform a set of footwork and martial arts more than twenty times.
However, can the star power of a one-star warrior support what kind of footwork and martial arts to be performed non-stop twenty times?
When Tang Zheng jumped onto the fourth wall, the height was not enough and he fell down directly.
Lan Shaoze paused.
There was a distance of about ten people between the two people. Tang Zheng looked like he had just failed in his footwork and martial arts skills and failed to jump over and fell down. However, Lan Shaoze did not take another step forward.
Tang Zheng turned around and smiled at Lan Shaoze: "Once it comes to yourself, you are quite cautious."
Of course Lan Shaoze knew that Tang Zheng was mocking him for not being so cautious when he was in Fengmen Village, allowing two "fat flowers" to escape, one of which was even in Wulong Town, causing a series of troubles.
"I must admit that I have always underestimated you. You are indeed a rare talent. If you can successfully cultivate, your name will surely be recorded in the annals of history." Lan Shaoze stood there calmly, not moving at all. "But, after practicing martial arts for such a long time, what else can you use to fight me?"
As he spoke, he drew out his sword and swept it forward. Lines of sword energy extended out, pushing forward like gentle waves, passing through an entire alley and finally stopping in front of Tang Zheng.
When Tang Zheng saw the scattered extension of star power, he knew that Lan Shaoze was not attacking, so he stood there without moving.
Lan Shaoze was indeed not attacking, he was testing the trap.
He had already conducted a detailed investigation into how the assassin at Xinglai Inn died. He certainly would not ignore the fact that Tang Zheng was good at using traps. If Tang Zheng had really set a trap here, it would have been discovered by Lan Shaoze by now.
But there are no traps here.
Lan Shaoze smiled and said, "Are all the traps in Echo Alley?"
Tang Zheng also smiled, but did not answer.
Lan Shaoze shook his head: "Don't you know that one star's strength is not enough to support any footwork and martial arts to climb over a low wall and six high walls from the clean room of Yangxian Tower to reach Huiyin Lane? A wise man can make a thousand mistakes, but he will make some mistakes. You have done very well, except... your strength is not enough!"
Tang Zheng spat, "Oh my god, this guy speaks in such a high-class manner."
After Lan Shaoze confirmed that there was no trap here, he slowly walked a few steps closer to Tang Zheng, like a prey facing a trap: "Emotionally, I should kill you right now, but reason tells me that I can't do that."
"Oh?" Tang Zheng was surprised by this. "Why?"
"Because you are a talent, a talent that I may only meet once in my life. It would be a pity to kill you!" Lan Shaoze quietly stretched out his hand and said without any modesty: "This generation of Tangjiabao is full of mediocre people, and there is no one who can create an era... Your best choice should be me."
"..." Tang Zheng looked at Lan Shaoze more seriously.
"Wulong Town is too small. It can't accommodate me, Lan Shaoze, nor can it accommodate Yinlan Villa. Of course, it can't accommodate you either!" Lan Shaoze said.
"..." Tang Zheng felt that while he was stopping being funny, he should also cultivate his character!
Seeing others speaking these words like movie lines, he felt so cheap.
Lan Shaoze waited for Tang Zheng's answer in a condescending manner.
In his eyes, Tang Zheng was at the end of his rope. He had not yet reached the Echo Alley where the trap was buried, and he was too exhausted from continuously practicing his footwork and martial arts. He could hardly muster the strength to use his star power to fight in such a short period of time.
Under such circumstances, what right did Tang Zheng have to refuse the hand he extended ?
However, Tang Zheng lowered his head and laughed, his voice getting louder and louder: "Since Wulong Town can't accommodate you, why don't you just...disappear?"
Lan Shaoze's breathing suddenly stopped.
The daggers in Tang Zheng's hands danced rapidly, and the surging star power extended out from the sharp blades of his two daggers. He walked as fast as the wind and rushed straight towards Lan Shaoze!
"You still have the strength left?" Lan Shaoze raised his sword coldly, and the crescent-like star image behind him rose up in the wind.
"I don't know how you came up with this, but...you don't have something as precious as footwork and martial arts, so how can I have it?"
Lan Shaoze's heart skipped a beat again.
How did Tang Zheng know that he had no footwork or martial arts skills?
Moreover, without using any footwork or martial arts, how could Tang Zheng have made so many strange moves along the way?
Seeing Tang Zheng coming towards him, Lan Shaoze took a deep breath, and without retreating a single step, the Star Power gushed out of his body, extending to the tip of his sword, and he was ready to launch a killing move...
"Since you are determined to die, I respect you!" Lan Shaoze had many questions in his mind, but none of them mattered now.
He is a two-star warrior, so even if he faces a one-star warrior in perfect condition, he doesn't even need a complete set of martial arts. Two or three moves will be enough!
Although it is only separated from West Street by a wall, this is still East Street after all. Even Lan Shaoze does not want to fight for a long time. However, at the moment when the two men fought, Tang Zheng threw the sword in his left hand into the air, and he crouched down and threw out a bottle from his sleeve!
Bang!
As the porcelain bottle shattered on the ground, the semi-fluid purple-gold liquid inside flowed out and instantly seeped into a circular indentation on the ground!
Afterwards, Lan Shaoze suddenly saw a circular formation similar to the one in a martial arts training ground gradually light up along the recess under the feet of the two people. Soon, the formation pattern buried in the soil overturned a thin layer of soil and was completely revealed.
"Field formation?" Lan Shaoze frowned slightly.
The field array is something that assists in cultivation, so how come it appears here?
After the entire array pattern was lit up by the small bottle of purple gold liquid thrown by Tang Zheng, it immediately sank into the soil again, as if this place had never appeared...
Night talk is always silent.
But even in such a deep silence, silent and surging star power swept in without any silence. Lan Shaoze's star power was flowing to its climax. As soon as he used his martial arts, he felt his wrist shake violently. The surging star power on the tip of his sword made a horrible explosion. The sharpest blade was instantly destroyed into a cloud of thick black smoke.
Lan Shaoze’s star veins shook!
With just this one move, his star veins were actually damaged!
If it was just a wound to the hair or skin, it would be fine, but a warrior's star veins must not be damaged.
"Cough cough cough..." Lan Shaoze coughed violently a few times due to being choked by the smoke and dust. He quickly wanted to take two steps back, but immediately he felt a chill on his back!
Tang Zheng just caught the dagger and attacked him from behind.
Lan Shaoze's star power turned, and he immediately wanted to use the powerful two-star star power to repel it.
However, just as his two star forces left his body from the back, there was another sharp explosion. He was pushed forward three or four steps by the strong collision of star forces. There was no intact part on his back, it was all bloody and mangled.
"I didn't even detect this trap..." Lan Shaoze used his star power twice in a row, but each time he hurt himself. His breathing had become a little irregular.
"Because this is not a trap at all!" Tang Zheng brandished his two daggers and quickly reached behind Lan Shaoze again, "It's just a failed experiment of mine..."
He had stolen a smaller version of the formation from Mo Feng, and originally intended to put it under his bed to level up.
However, by accident, he turned it into a bomb.
It's a failure so let it be a failure!
After his repeated experiments and improvements, the scaled-down version of the formation became further and further away from his idea of leveling up by hanging up. In the end, it became the thing under his and Lan Shaoze's feet!
What was originally buried under the soil was just an unfinished failed product, but the bottle of specially preserved purple gold that Tang Zheng introduced into the dent just before the battle turned this unfinished failed product into a finished failed product.
If it is a successfully drawn field array, it will certainly be an excellent tool to condense star power in an orderly manner and assist in cultivation.
But a failed product can also be an excellent tool that can make the star power violent, restless, and chaotic!
Moreover, Tang Zheng added a lot of extra ingredients to today's failed product!
The more purple gold there is, the stronger the ability to gather star power will be, and the star power inside will become more violent and chaotic.
For Lan Shaoze to use star power in a place where the star power is so turbulent and chaotic is just like being covered in gasoline and standing in a gunpowder depot smoking!
In fact, he wasn't just smoking in the powder magazine.
The attack he made on Tang Zhengyi was a killing move, which was like launching a bazooka in a powder keg.
"Can't use star power." Lan Shaoze quickly saw the essence of the matter. A two-star warrior who can't use star power, isn't that equivalent to being brought to the same level as Tang Zheng?
He didn't have time to think about what the hell this thing Tang Zheng had set up was, so he had to first launch this "formation that is not a formation"!
However, just as he took half a step, Tang Zheng's sharp blade stabbed at him from below, and he had to lean back to avoid it. Immediately, his ankles went weak and he was knocked to the ground by Tang Zheng in one move!
