Chapter 100 Everything Hanging By a Thread

“Who are you again?”

Ying Hou almost burst from anger . Long Tianxiao actually acted as if he didn’t recognize him?! That was the greatest possible insult and humiliation for him .

He had challenged Long Tianxiao several times back in the day, all of them which resulted in his loss . In the last one, Long Tianxiao severed one of his fingers, the greatest disgrace of his entire life .

At this time, Ying Hou had already obtained the Flesh Bone Restoration Pill and grown back that finger . That had returned his meridians to a perfect state, and he had advanced from the sixth Heavenstage to the seventh Heavenstage of Muscle Rebirth, stepping into the late stage .

Although it was just one Heavenstage’s difference, that was also the large step between mid and late stage . Now that he had advanced to the late stage, his combat ability had soared, and he was now completely confident and prepared to challenge Long Tianxiao again .

But before he had had the chance to challenge him, he had received the order to go kill Long Chen . The result of which was that he had been continuously thwarted by Long Chen, almost losing his life in the end . That had greatly shaken his confidence .

And now from just one sentence from Long Tianxiao, his anger completely burst and he was unable to endure it any longer . With an angry roar, he charged at Long Tianxiao .

The three of them had been separated by almost three hundred meters, but Ying Hou closed the cap in just three steps .

On his first step, veins popped up all over his body and terrifying energy exploded from him . On the second step, he raised his sword up high, his Qi pouring into the sword, wind whistling around it .

On his third step, he suddenly sped up . His mind, spirit, and qi all merged together as his sword fell, perfectly raising his power to its absolute pinnacle .

It could be said that although Ying Hou was infuriated, it went without saying that he was a true expert . That was something that even the Muscle Rebirth experts of the Grand Xia had to admit .

Seeing Ying Hou charge over, Long Tianxiao merely shook his head . “Even after ten years, you still haven’t grown the slightest bit . You want to defeat me with just yourself?”

A saber had appeared in Long Tianxiao’s hand at some unknown time . When he unsheathed it, cold light s.h.i.+ned everywhere .

But just when everyone thought Long Tianxiao would send a slash out to block, he instead took a single step back . That one step placed him three meters away .

Ying Hou almost spit out blood . His striking point was originally perfect . But now his full force blow had nowhere to release his power . It was as if he had used his full power in an attempt to cut apart a rock, only to have that rock become a soft piece of tofu . That kind of feeling of using the wrong amount of power was extremely uncomfortable .

Ying Hou’s sword landed on only air . Knowing the situation had taken a turn for the worse, he was about to switch moves when Long Tianxiao stepped in, slas.h.i.+ng with his saber . Saber images appeared throughout the air .

BOOM! But Ying Hou was still a Muscle Rebirth expert . In that extremely unfavorable position, he was still able to forcibly use his Qi to take on Long Tianxiao’s blade .

Ying Hou was like a skipping stone as he tumbled dozens of meters away before stopping .

As soon as he stabilized, he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood . That sudden blow and block had shaken his inner organs, causing him to be injured .

Everyone was astonished . Ying Hou who was also one of the three peak experts of Phoenix Cry was unable to completely block even a single slash of Long Tianxiao’s .

Xia Youyu and the others might also be surprised, but they weren’t too shocked . Long Tianxiao’s attack just now had been set up almost perfectly .

He had exquisitely found the perfect moment between the moment when Ying Hou had used up his force on nothing but had yet to gather his energy again . Attacking at that moment had caused Ying Hou to suffer a loss .

That didn’t mean that Ying Hou’s cultivation base was inferior to Long Tianxiao’s, but that Ying Hou’s combat ability was far too lacking in comparison .

Ying Hou had stayed in seclusion training for the last couple years . Whenever he met anyone, he would forcibly suppress them . He would first lock his enemies in place before sending out a powerful blow .

But today he had been enraged and forgotten that Long Tianxiao was also a late Muscle Rebirth expert . His realm was actually greater than his own, so how could it be possible for him to lock him in place? And so that was why he had suffered so greatly .

“Ying Zhao, you’re going to use only this level of strength to fight against me?” Long Tianxiao shook his head indifferently .

Ying Hou’s face turned ashen from rage . He had been careless and caught unprepared . Although the injury wasn’t anything, it definitely had impacted his confidence and spirit . For a moment, all he could do was grind his teeth in anger .

“The Border Suppression Marquis Long Tianxiao has rebelled . All troops are ordered to work together to capture this rebel!” coldly ordered the fourth prince .

Following the fourth prince’s cy, there were immediately dozens of squads that charged over . Those people were obviously his trusted agents who listened to his orders without the slightest hesitation .

As for the other officers who were still shook be the situation, when they saw that there were already people charging over, they also stopped hesitating . One by one, they all began to charge over at Long Tianxiao .

“Phoenix Cry brothers, we all grew up together on this land . I don’t want to see my brothers’ blood . Don’t force me!” Long Tianxiao’s shout rang out .

His shout was backed up with his spiritual qi and shook the entire sky . There were immediately several people who paused .

They were all army men, and Long Tianxiao was their idol . Just how many people wanted to be like him and be called a military G.o.d?

But now they were supposed to point there weapons at this idol . That caused many to people to be at a loss .

“Don’t listen to his misleading lies! As long as you kill a single traitor, no matter their status, you will immediately receive one million gold coins and be promoted three n.o.bility ranks!” coldly cried the fourth prince .

Hearing that, some of those hesitating soldiers immediately gave up their internal struggle and charged forward, brandis.h.i.+ng their weapons .

Ever since the day they had joined the army, they had been repeatedly taught that soldiers didn’t need to think . All they needed to do was follow orders .

And with such a huge enticement, those people all followed their instincts . But they didn’t have any intentions of attacking Long Tianxiao . After all, that was an impossible to complete mission .
