Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 114 I am me, I am not Lan Shaoze
Stifling a person's dream can be said to be more painful than killing him.
Tang Zheng remembered that Lan Shaoze had said something similar to him before he died...
He said that Wulong Town was too small to accommodate him , Yinlan Villa, or Tang Zheng!
Thinking back on it, Lan Shaoze was also a good young man with ideals and ambitions, and he also had the main star in his life. If Tang Zheng hadn't shown up unexpectedly, he might have been able to establish a clan or even a noble family with the help of Xu Qingyan.
Only a family that has a nine-star expert every three generations is recognized as a noble family!
And the only ones that can produce nine-star strongmen from generation to generation are the seven top families standing on the continent.
The birth of a nine-star strongman will be written into the bloodline like DNA. At that time, the crescent moon, which is not even a waning moon, will become a family-level constellation that is naturally lit with one star and will be admired by people all over the world!
Tang Zheng touched his nose...
If you think about it this way, after he killed Lan Shaoze, the butterfly effect was really huge!
"Well, what do you want?" Tang Zheng spread his hands. "Anyway, I've killed him anyway. You can't ask me to give you another Lan Shaoze as compensation, right?"
"Yeah." Unexpectedly, Xu Qingyan nodded directly. Unlike Tang Zheng's joking tone, he replied: "Pay me one!"
"..." Tang Xiaotang was like a Spartan.
"You're already dead, how can you compensate me?" Tang Zixie snorted and laughed, "Don't talk about paying for one life with another. Even though you're three stars, we three two-star warriors here are not vegetarians!"
The wine is still warm and the meat is fragrant.
However, the atmosphere has become a little tense.
Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed Tang Zixie lightly: "If he wants to exchange his life for another, he has no right to call himself a talented person who can assist the king!"
Xu Qingyan smiled, a very cold smile, and clapped his hands.
"You're just here to ask for a team, why do you have to be so grandiose?" Tang Zheng didn't mince words and pointed out Xu Qingyan's intention in one sentence, "Lan Shaoze is dead, and you want me to compensate you... No way, it just happens to be me, right?"
"It's you." Xu Qingyan was not polite. After hearing what Tang Zheng had said, he nodded and said without any more nonsense, "I am twenty-seven years old this year. I have already entered the three-star level and have also been listed on the human star list of the Xingyao Powerful List. I will definitely enter the five-star level before I am forty, and I can expect to reach the seven-star level in my lifetime. There are probably less than ten people in the entire Wulong Town who can enter the seven-star level. I think you should have no reason to refuse me."
Tang Zheng smiled and poured out the wine in his glass.
Then, he quietly returned the cup to Xu Qingyan: "If you follow me, I have no reason to refuse, but I am me, I will only follow my own path step by step. As for whether it is possible to realize your dream in the process, I can't guarantee it."
Forming a team, of course no problem.
However, the prerequisite for teaming up to complete a mission is that two people accept the same mission. Although their goals cannot be said to be completely different, there are still certain differences.
"I can accept this condition." Xu Qingyan said calmly: "However, if you are like Lan Shaoze, not strong enough and die halfway, I will leave immediately. I can't guarantee whether I will avenge you or not."
After hearing this, Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie realized that Xu Qingyan was going to surrender!
Moreover, it was obvious that he had no loyalty at all.
After Tang Zheng died, he left. How can this be considered as surrender?
"No problem." Tang Zheng snapped his fingers. "Of course, I rejected your invitation to form a team, because if you can't let me form a team, I will form a team with you immediately. First of all, I want to try it, because I don't want to find out after forming a team that the three-star strongmen and the star list you mentioned are all special effects. If I say it again, they are very powerful. If this happens, the students of Tangjiabao will definitely scold me..."
"Stop." Xu Qingyan's eyes twitched, "How are you going to try?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Tang Zheng spread his hands.
"..." Xu Qingyan's eyes twitched again, and he suddenly smiled, "You and Lan Shaoze are really different..."
"What do you mean by different? I am me, he is him, we are two completely different people!" Tang Zheng stood up and patted Xu Qingyan on the shoulder, "Just get used to it slowly."
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie looked at each other.
Slowly adapt...
Why does it sound like such a hopeless thing?
…
The water in the cold pond is deep, like jasper.
The wait was long and the sky gradually darkened.
Tang Zheng and the other three sat by the cold pond, talking, waiting for deer, and enjoying the scenery.
Unconsciously, the temperature around me gradually dropped, and the night wind brought waves of coolness.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked into the depths of the darkness, and actually saw two bright flames!
"Demonic fire." Before Tang Zheng finished his words, he saw a giant python as tall as a tree rushing towards them. The speed of the python was completely disproportionate to its huge body.
Tang Zixie threw a string of flying knives directly over.
Tang Xiaotang's face turned pale: "Could this be the Swallowing Cloud Python that Zhao Shanhe mentioned before he left?"
The giant python is already in sight.
There was not much time left for them to think.
Tang Xiaotang gritted her teeth and swung her knife forward...
Tang Zheng frowned slightly when he saw the big and heavy head of the Swallowing Cloud Python crash into a big tree that two people could hug together with a "bang"!
Its head was unharmed, but it smashed the tree into two pieces.
Two bright demonic flames floated behind it.
The demon fire is like the stars in the astrology, representing the strength of the demon beast. Judging from the brightness of the Swallowing Cloud Python's demon fire, it is at least mid-two-star level!
However, the Swallowing Cloud Python seemed not to have even seen Tang Xiaotang. It spurted a stream of green blood into the sky from its mouth, and then swept its tail and cut down a large tree behind it.
Tang Xiaotang, who was closest to it, kept attacking with the Hongjing sword technique. The light of his martial arts fell on the giant python, cutting wounds on his thick skin. Green blood kept flowing out of the wounds, and the sticky and poisonous blood spread on the ground.
The leaves were falling everywhere.
Xu Qingyan frowned slightly, put down his wine glass, and prepared to take action.
Tang Zheng stopped him and shouted to Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie, "There's something wrong with this Cloud Swallowing Python. Spread out and stay away from it."
Xu Qingyan was led back dozens of steps by Tang Zheng.
Sure enough, the Cloud-Swallowing Python didn't chase anyone at all. Its eyes seemed to be unable to see people. Its huge body kept hitting the trees and rocks, and the impact movements became more and more crazy.
"Does this monster like to mutilate itself?" Tang Zheng, Xiao Tang and the others stood together, watching the Cloud-Swallowing Python twisting continuously, with green blood spilling out of its body bit by bit, its skin and flesh turned inside out, looking very scary.
However, at this moment...
I saw the middle section of the Cloud-Swallowing Python suddenly swell up!
Then, a silver light suddenly came out from inside.
The giant python let out a shrill roar and was actually cut in half from the middle.
Dark green blood gushed out from the body of the Cloud-Swallowing Python and quickly fell to the ground.
As a result, patches of weeds withered one after another.
Tang Zixie was shocked when he saw it: "Be careful, it's highly poisonous."
They came into the mountains to hunt deer, not to kill pythons. If they didn't find the six-eared white plum deer and someone got hurt, the whole plan would probably be disrupted.
Tang Xiaotang also hurriedly jumped a few steps away: "Don't get hurt!"
She knew that the inner elixir of the six-eared white deer was too important to Tang Zheng and must not be lost.
If his first life palace cannot be balanced again, all his hard work in killing Lan Shaoze will be wasted.
But once he solves this problem, his astrological talent as a star-favored one will mutate, and his strength will be able to far exceed that of warriors of the same star level!
Tang Xiaotang had already seen the effect - defeating Azhi was not a problem at all, and it also slowed down Azhi's recovery speed by at least ten times.
"Wait..." Tang Zheng retreated to a safe distance and suddenly stopped.
"Master?" Tang Xiaotang and the others obviously hadn't caught up with Tang Zheng's pace.
"Look..." Tang Zheng pointed at the giant python.
The Cloud-Swallowing Python, which had been cut open vertically with a huge wound, quickly lost the strength to rush around.
And just as it stood there with its body straight, a skinny figure half a head shorter than Tang Xiaotang actually jumped out from the Cloud-Swallowing Python's body that was cut open lengthwise!
His body was covered with some kind of black oil that was almost shiny enough to reflect light, and his eyes were wrapped with rags soaked in the same oil. As soon as he jumped out, he tore off the rags from his eyes and saw Tang Zheng and his companions.
Just behind him, the huge Cloud-Swallowing Python crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
Not moving.
There is no breath of life anymore!
Tang Zheng stared at the skinny figure who was as dark as a savage and had messy curly hair.
There were several spots on his shoulders and cheeks that were corroded by the giant python's poison, but he didn't care and casually grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and rubbed it on the wounds. Then, he raised his head and grinned at Tang Zheng and the others: "Good evening!"
The little savage's white teeth were particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.
Tang Xiaotang was completely confused.
How did a person jump out of the body of the Swallowing Cloud Python? And why does this person look like this? !
Before she could think clearly, the little savage turned around and pulled out a knife from his sleeve.
Just when Tang Xiaotang was getting nervous again, the little savage turned around and quickly pulled out the tendons, skinned the Cloud Swallowing Python, and collected its venom...
A giant python as thick as a tree was actually cleaned up by the little savage in less than half a minute!
Even if the giant python's relatives came, they would not be able to recognize that the neatly dismantled piles of things on the ground were actually the Cloud-Swallowing Python from before!
After the little savage collected the spoils, he turned around and grinned, pointing at a pile of tough python tendons: "Yours!"
