Tang Luo! How dare you kill the steward of the young master Shen? Have you forgotten the Xiling Pact?

Before Mi Shen could react, the members of the Mi Clan in the southern formation launched their attack. They identified the head in Tang Luos hand as that of Zhang Xinghe.

Tang Luo opened his hand and the head fell to the ground.

A dozen days ago, I told Mi Shen to hand over the person. Since he didnt, I had to get them myself. As for the Xiling Pact, are there any members of the Mi Clan still in Jiang Lin, in the Young Masters Mansion? Tang Luo took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and began to wipe his palm.

Mi Shens eye glowed icy cold, barely containing the simmering anger within him.

He understood that he had fallen into Tang Luos trap. The grandly staged duel was merely a distraction for a surprise attack on the Young Masters Mansion, and to kill Zhang Xinghe.

-What a scheme, Mi Shen said coldly, leaping from his palanquin and landing

in front of Tang Luo.bender

A jade-green aura swirled around Mi Shens fists. This was the signature skill of the Mi Family the Thousand Jade True Power.

This Mystical Level technique involved cultivating the True Qi of Green Wood, which could be applied to the fist or palm.

If hit by the True Qi of Green Wood, it drills into your meridian channels like bone maggots, crystallizing your meridians along the way. Its an extremely venomous technique.

Its only flaw is that the direct damage of the True Qi of Green Wood is weak, and it doesnt hold the upper hand in the collision of spiritual power.

Since Mi Shen had activated the True Qi of Green Wood, it signaled the commencement of the combat.

Furious, Young Master Shen leapt high into the air, his right fist drawn back like a bow. The concentrated True Qi of Green Wood shone brightly like a firefly, floating in the air like a phantom flame.

Mi Shens gaze was severe, he locked onto Tang Luo, and delivered a powerful strike of the Thousand Jade Python Fist!

The solid True Qi of Greenwood materialized into a large python, lunging toward Tang Luo.

Tang Luo squinted his eyes, thrusting his fingers that had been prepared in advance while wiping his hands toward the python.

Upon the collision of the fingers, a giant tornado ripped through the earth, piercing the sky.

The Martial Luo Finger clashed fiercely with the Thousand Jade Python Fist.

The white tornado and the jade-green python clashed violently, the collision of their spiritual powers causing the surrounding leaves to rustle.

Following a series of spiritual power explosions, both the tornado and python dissipated. The first strike between Tang Luo and Mi Shen was evenly matched.

The spectating crowd couldnt believe their eyes. In their minds, losing would be equivalent to defeat for Mi Shen if he didnt end the fight in a single move. After all, talented as Tang Luo was, he was still eleven years younger than

Young Master Shen.

The members of the Mi Clan felt their faith shattered, but the Tang Clan camp

burst into cheers.

Tang Luos casual response and relaxed stance earned him the admiration of

the Tang clan members.

After all, he was the pride of the Tang Family casual and formidable.

On the other hand, Mi Shen who had just landed, his eyes grew even more cold and severe.

Against a martial artist who had just entered the realm of Transcendence like Tang Luo, he did not anticipate having to deliver a second attack.

The Thousand Jade Python Fist he just executed was one of his killer moves. It should have shattered Tang Luos technique and defensive skill with ease, he didnt expect such an outcome.

Even though the initially confident Mi Shen suddenly sensed a change in situation, his confidence as a peak Transcendent realm warrior led him to believe he would not lose. However, since he had made the first move, if he were to attack again now, it would be seen as an act of desperation. So, he needed an excuse: You attacked my mansion, killed my steward, you clearly dont regard me at all. Dont blame me for not being considerate and using my advantage.

Hearing Mi Shens words, Tang Luo suddenly burst into laughter, full of mockery.

What a hypocritical young master Shen, do you really not know why I killed

Zhang Xinghe?

He killed my envoy, stole my wealth. Really, am I the one disregarding the Xiling Pact, or are you the one not keeping to rules? Dont you have any sense of right or wrong?

If one must kill, then one must kill righteously. This is the way of the noble families.

With a kick, Tang Luo overturned the sack he had brought, and bars of gold spilled onto the ground.

The golden bars gleamed, and a small Tang on the side declared their ownership.

These gold bars were smelted from gold coins by Tang Luo not long ago, naturally bearing the imprint of Tang Clans smelting department. The gold bars in North City of Xiling were mostly made by the Tang Family, while those used in the south of the city were mostly made by the Mi Family. Such knowledge was common among the nobles present.

So when Tang Luo untied the bag, those bystanders from clans started to believe his words.

However, there are always stubborn people who deny the evidence right before their eyes, like the backup team of Mi Shen, for instance.

This gold was brought by you, Tang Luo. Just because you say Zhang Xinghe owns it doesnt mean that he does. I could also say you just took it out from the Tang Clans foundry!

The sudden voice from the Mi Clans formation undoubtedly won the support of the Mi Clan members and echoed continuously.

Yet Tang Luo only looked at them with a smile-cum-sneer, and gave them a round of applause.

Several warriors stepped forward, escorting two hooded captives.

The warriors placed the captives in the middle of the crowd and removed their hoods.

These two people were the stewards of the Masters mansion. As they opened their eyes, they immediately recognized Mi Shen standing defiantly before them and cried for help:

Master, there was a group of people who broke into the mansion. They killed Steward Zhang and several guards at the door.

Master, they not only murdered our people, but also ransacked the gold coins in Steward Zhangs room. You must get revenge for Steward Zhang.

The two captives couldnt comprehend why they were brought there, but when they saw Mi Shen, it was as if they had seen a savior. They immediately started their outcry. However, their words only confirmed what Tang Luo had already said.

Seeing Mi Shens gloomy face, the two stewards seemed to understand that they had misspoken. Their voices faded away, and they kept their heads down, silent.

With both human and material evidence present, Tang Luos killing of Zhang Xinghe was justified. Even the members of the Mi Clan felt they could no longer stand by Mi Shen.

Over the years, the Masters mansion had been domineering. Mi Shen was always partial to his own, causing many new and influential families to suffer. So, when someone stood up to resist, they all leaned towards the Tang Clan. With a bag of gold coins and two steward witnesses, the whole sentiment turned. Now it was the stirring tale of Mi Shen using his power to bully the weak, while Tang Luo courageously fought back.

Mi Shens face turned black as ink, his star-like eyes filled with murderous intent.

So, resorting to a fight is one thing, but pretending to be a hero and getting slapped in the process is something else. Tang Luo waved his hand, ordering the warriors to take the two stewards away, and sneered.

We are all warriors, using reasoning is meaningless from the beginning. Tang Luo looked straight into Mi Shens murderous eyes, took a step forward, and said, So, the way to solve the problem becomes very simple. Either I kill you, or you get killed by me. The victor is the righteous one; what do you think?

Tang Luos words echoed through the woods, causing gasps of astonishment from the standing onlookers.

What was initially intended as a mere duel was now a matter of life or death. For the clansmen of Xiling, who had enjoyed peace for so long, fights were common, but battles of life and death were traditionally left to the warriors, not the clansmen themselves.

Looking at Tang Luo with nothing but murderous intent, Mi Shen truly wanted to accept, if he were merely a warrior, he would have readily engaged in a death duel against him.

But he wasnt just a warrior, he was a man destined to be the head of the Mi Clan.

He had thought Tang Luo was a man worthy of being a king, but now it seemed, he was just a commoner.

The killing intent in his eyes turned into disdain. Mi Shen was disappointed in Tang Luo.

A commoner could disregard the consequences, spilling blood without a care, but a king wouldnt.

Gambling your life over a mere servant, isnt that like a joke?

Not to mention death, if either of them were severely injured, neither the Tang or Mi families would let it go.

Such a death match would turn into a war between the Tang and Mi Clans, and the result of that war would be the destruction of a centurys peace in Xiling. Bringing war to Xiling just for his pride was something Mi Shen could not do. He shot Tang Luo a cold look, stepped into his chariot, and thus made his stance clear.

He did not refuse out of fear, he just wouldnt lower himself to a madmans level. Suppressing his anger, Mi Shen chanted a spell and the chariot rose into the sky..
