Ice-cold and unbridled killing intent shot forth. It stabbed into the people’s hearts like biting winds in the coldest winter.

“Damn, Tuoba Liufeng is usually calm. Why then, the sudden thirst for blood?” Dugu Feng grew nervous.

Long Xingyun grinned, “Why indeed. But even if they show their tough side again, brother Zhuo is sure to nail them dead. What’s there to worry about?”

“That’s exactly what I’m afraid of! Who here doesn’t know about Zhuo Fan’s temper? Irritated enough, those guys won’t see tomorrow. If anything happens to them, what will Tuoba Tieshan’s five million army at the border do?” Dugu Feng shook his head.

The rest stirred, [Makes sense.]

Zhuo Fan merely curled an eyebrow in glee, [Come on, make a move already…]

“Zha Lahan, Zhe Bie, falcon formation! We’ll do it in one move!” Tuoba Liufeng’s eyes trembled watching Zhuo Fan coldly.

The masked man nodded and Zha Lahan was exuberant. His flesh trembling in joy.

Imperial Tutor Han Tiemo wasn’t quite in agreement, “Liufeng, we don’t know what he can do or who’s behind him. Attacking him rashly is thoughtless…”

“Him being a threat is enough. He has got to go now or our beast armies will suffer.” Tuoba Liufeng set his jaw, “We are in an altercation with him now. This is the best excuse to ice him. When we see Tianyu’s emperor later, we’ll just say that the guy got too confident of his blue blood in stopping us and got killed by a stray attack!”

Han Tiemo nodded after a long pause, but his heart was still unsettled.

From the moment he had laid eyes on Zhuo Fan, the Imperial Tutor felt a thorn in his heart. This was his intuition he had built over the decades.

Thinking of the last time this feeling came, it was when he met Zhuge Changfeng…

[Sigh, Tianyu has so many talents.]

Han Tiemo noticed the sharp look in Zhuo Fan’s eyes and sighed.

“Attack!”

Zha Lahan laughed, going after Zhuo Fan with bloodshot eyes, his face twisted and savage. Zhe Bie took out a glittering golden longbow, pulling the string like second nature as he aimed for Zhuo Fan.

Snickering, Zhuo Fan flicked his right hand in contempt.

“Stop!”

An aged voice towered over the commotion and Zhuo Fan was found overshadowed by a figure pointing his long blade at the six, “Tuoba Liufeng, Han Tiemo, what do you think you’re doing?”

Rumble!

Zha Lahan paused at his arrival. Tuoba Liufeng sighed in the end, “Withdraw.”

Zhe Bie figured that was the case and put away his bow.

Tuoba Liufeng cupped his hands at the towering figure, expressing respect for once, “Marshal Dugu, it’s been ages.”

With the two nations tangled up in war for decades, the commanders had long since grown accustomed to one another, forming mutual respect. A hero valued another, regardless of which side they were on.

Quanrong’s entire leadership present here showed their respect to the man called Dugu Zhantian.

At the arrival of the marshal, everyone sighed, knowing the fight was a bust.

Zha Lahan snorted, unwilling to let Zhuo Fan just walk away. Zhuo Fan couldn’t care less. Oh, he did find it a darn shame as well, having lost the chance to probe them well.

Though not a complete waste of time as he did get a ballpark figure.

“Marshal Dugu, how can your people lack even common decency? We represent the Quanrong emperor in presenting your nation’s Majesty with a gift. Is this how a host acts? Scaring our mounts and harming our warriors?”

Touba Lian’er glared at Zhuo Fan while hurling her accusations. The way she figured was, with Dugu Zhantian’s position in Tianyu, if he didn’t give Zhuo Fan a heavy punishment, he’d at least give him something. Maybe a slap on the wrist?

That would settle her current and past hatred nicely.

A shame Dugu Zhantian saw Zhuo Fan lollygagging behind, sloppy, bored and uninterested; the perfect picture of an innocent bystander. Sighing, the old man went in the air towards the six.

The six were still very much respectful as Dugu Zhantian whispered, “Imperial Tutor, Tuoba Liufeng, seeing you far-away guests, I’ll give you a good-natured suggestion. Forget about your rancor and drop this issue here, for your sake. You can’t mess with that guy!”
