On the way back to their original route, an argument broke out in the front of the team, between Ji Fu and Tang Luo.
The cause was Ji Fu’s statement, “Fortunately this time we have along with the caravan a group of warriors from the Mortal Realm’s Slaughter Immortal Army, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to obtain the treasure.”
“Where does your confidence come from? Without your group of warriors, I can’t get the treasures?” Tang Luo was unconvinced, although he acknowledged that the martial artists of the sacred land all possess unique skills, but at the Mortal Realm level, he did not believe that Tang Clan’s warriors would lose to anyone.
Seeing Tang Luo’s defiance, Ji Fu coldly said, “It takes eight Mortal Realm warriors to defeat several hundred puppet mechanisms. Only the Slaughter Immortal Army could face puppet mechanisms ten times their number, the group of Mortal Realm Slaughter Immortal Army can withstand five ordinary teams, do you believe it?”
The reason why Ji Qing and his five men fell under Tang Clan’s palm of Tathagata was not because of issues with the Slaughter Immortal Army formation, but because Ji Qing and his two companions were warriors who had broken through the Fierce Realm less than a decade ago, amassing less than 35,000 points of spiritual power, while Tang Siyuan, Tang Hongtao, and Tang Zhen were all Fierce Realm warriors with over 60,000 points of spiritual power.
The power of Tang Clan’s palm of Tathagata even exceeded the total spiritual power of five Slaughter Immortal Army soldiers, yet even so, Ji Qing and his five men were only injured and not killed. While the effect of the Undying Battle Body certainly plays a role, it also highlights the superiority of the Slaughter Immortal Army formation.
Although Mortal Realm martial artists struggle to create the pattern of the Undying Battle Body, the visualization of the Battle Edge Tactics has already begun. The shield and the spear are two must-have weapons, one offensive and one defensive, they are the soul of the formation.
But the son of Tang did not buy into Ji Fu’s claims, directly retorting, “Believe in a hammer!”
Tang Luo looked at Ji Fu with disdain, “I believe my Tang Clan can just send out a Mortal realm team and smash your Slaughter Immortal Army formation, do you believe it?”
Not to mention Ji Fu, even Xu Laoying thought he was just speaking in anger and quickly advised, “Cousin, don’t talk nonsense. The Han Family’s Slaughter Immortal Army is ranked first in group combat, combining offense and defense, far superior to common martial artist teams.”
Ji Fu laughed coldly, “You are undoubtedly a natural prodigy, but this does not mean your clan is the same. Such arrogance really disappoints me.”
“Well,” Tang Luo responded with a sneer, “How do you know it’s my arrogance and not your lack of knowledge? Maybe in the past thousand years, the world of martial arts has already changed!”
Every time the subject of a thousand years was brought up, Ji Fu would get angry, as he could always subtly sense the malice behind Tang Luo’s words, as if reminding him – the Han Family is no longer the number one sacred land from a thousand years ago, but an antiquity that has fallen behind.
Xu Laoying was able to sense Tang Luo’s calmness when he spoke, but Ji Fu could not. “Since you’re so confident, what about trying?”
Reality is always the best at slapping faces, and Ji Fu had infinite confidence in the Slaughter Immortal Army.
“You’re all talk, who wants to try it with you!” Tang Luo disdainfully refused.
The argument suddenly went silent, Ji Fu looked at Tang Luo and said coldly, “So this is your goal!”
“Judging by what you say, eight Mortal Realm warriors are to brawl and risk their lives against several hundred puppet mechanisms, don’t they deserve more for such hard work?” Tang Luo suggested calmly. His goal was seen through, there was no need for him to put on a face of contempt to irritate Ji Fu because he knew Ji Fu would bite. After all, he was such a confident Saint Child of the Han Family!
As expected, Ji Fu confidently said, “What do you think would be suitable as a prize to ‘reward’ the hardworking soldiers?”
Since Ji Fu found out that the Boundary Breaking Stone belonged to the Longzhou treasury, he was extremely reluctant to let it go because he realized how many spiritual armors and divine drugs were stored in that treasury. And although he had promised to share it equally, that did not mean he was willing.
But unwilling did not necessarily mean he would renege. When he heard that Tang Luo wanted to gamble with the treasures, he was moved. Sometimes information differences work like this. Ji Fu believed that if Tang Luo knew how much supplies were in the Minor Spiritual Realm treasury, he would not dare to stake it because he couldn’t afford such a huge loss.
Xu Laoying at the side couldn’t help but smile bitterly as the argument between the two escalated.
Because he could feel both of their incredible confidence, as if they were certain to win the bet. But in a bet, there is always one who will lose terribly, which would destroy the balance he had worked hard to establish.
“Big brother, cousin! Don’t do this. The division of the treasury has been agreed upon and cannot be changed. If you really want to gamble, bring your own stakes!” Xu Laoying decided to be tough, because he knew the treasury might not be a minor matter. He trusted that Tang Luo must have also noticed it, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so respectful when getting the map.
Although he hasn’t been with this cousin for long, he knew that he was wise and never fought a battle without certainty. Even though he trusted the strength of the Slaughter Immortal Army, he was always afraid of a trap set by his cousin. He didn’t want his righteous brother to fall into Tang Luo’s trap again, which would make their relationship worse.
Tang Luo looked at Xu Laoying angrily. Just as the fish was about to bite, this kind of interruption by relatives was frustrating. But out of respect for Xu Laoying, he did not want to dwell on it.
Actually, he didn’t have to think about it. Since only eight Mortal Realm fighters could enter the Minor Spiritual Realm, this task was bound to fall on the Tang Clan children who had practiced Martial Luo’s finger technique. Because only the Martial Luo’s finger technique can exert a kill move equivalent to the Transcend Mortal Realm at close range. Even if only three fingers combine, it’s roughly equivalent to a Transcend Mortal Realm Spirit Technique.
As long as eight students from the First Cultivation Ground coordinate well, they should have no problem eliminating several hundred puppets incapable of long-range attacks.
Another reason is that he doesn’t trust the entrance to the Minor Spiritual Realm to be completely controlled by Ji Fu’s men. Although they had agreed to share the secrets and resources equally, who knew what he was thinking.
Tang Luo didn’t care about the amount of supplies, the most important thing to him was the secrets of the Han Family. If Ji Fu’s men were to all enter the Minor Spiritual Realm and quietly hide some scrolls, he would be left in the dark.
Call it thinking of others with a petty mind, this Spirit Treasury could only be opened by the warriors of the Tang Clan. Because he could only guarantee that he wouldn’t hide and deceive his own design, but he wouldn’t dare to bet the trust on whether the other party was fair or not.
But while Tang Luo no longer intended to gamble, that didn’t mean Ji Fu would give up. He believed Xu Laoying only wanted to protect his greedy cousin. The Han Family was in urgent need of spiritual armor and divine medicine because today, with the diminishing spiritual beasts, it is difficult to forge strong spiritual armor, and divine medicine that can regenerate life is hard to come by-
Out of respect for Xu Laoying, Ji Fu did not want to be ruthless either. He seriously said, “Second brother, don’t defend him. Since son of Tang is so confident in his own warriors, why not give it a try. Maybe the Tang Clan can achieve the effect of my Slaughter Immortal Army with just two Transcend Mortal Realm teams.”
“The idea of equal pay for labor coincides with my heart. If son of Tang can defeat my Slaughter Immortal Army with two Transcend Mortal Realm teams, then it shows that the task of killing puppet mechanisms can only be entrusted to the Tang Clan. With more work comes more rewards. I am willing to take out ten percent from my fifty-percent share to give to these soldiers as an award!”
“What do you think, son of Tang?”
