Chapter 654: Chapter 141: Dreams of the Ancient Past (33)

After a full half month, the Turtle Clan finally got the money from the Leopard Clan and ransomed Gui He.

During this half-month, Gui He had not seen Shi Chong’an again.

"Gui He! Your Turtle Clan has already paid the compensation amount, you can leave now." The Judgment Officer opened the door to Shi Chong’an’s study and led him out of the great doors of the judgment hall.

"Second Uncle!" The one to receive Gui He was still Turtle Second Uncle, and accompanying him was another elder of the Turtle Clan, ranked fifth among the clan elders, known as Turtle Lao Wu.

Turtle Lao Wu was quite unfamiliar to Gui He; aside from the annual year-end sacrifice ceremony, Turtle Lao Wu had never seen him.

"Fifth Master."

After receiving a response from Turtle Second Uncle, Gui He respectfully bowed to Turtle Lao Wu.

"No need for formalities, you’re now a hero of our Turtle Clan, this old man cannot withstand such a bow."

"Haha, you jest, Fifth Master. You’re a Clan Elder of our Turtle Clan; even the Clan Leader, upon seeing you, must respectfully address you as Fifth Master," Turtle Second Uncle appropriately delivered a bit of flattery.

Turtle Lao Wu clearly enjoyed this, and with a slight smile, he said, "All right, all right, stop buttering me up, let’s go. We shouldn’t linger in front of the Judgment Hall; it’s best to visit this place as little as possible."

Just as they were about to leave, an imposing figure blocked the three of them.

Gui He stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the two elders, lifted his head, and looked at the other person, "What do you want?"

"Gui He, right?" The newcomer was Terry. When the Turtle Clan went to the judgment hall to pay the ransom, he had been wildly summoned by Lin Lang, who had dragged him up from women’s bellies.

Since he had promised Lin Lang, Terry could not go back on his word, so he had to save up his anger and vent it on Gui He.

"It’s me, may I know who you are?"

Before Terry could speak, Turtle Lao Wu sternly rebuked, "Terry! You dare to block my path? Believe it or not, I’ll have a word with your grandfather about this?"

Terry curled his lips and sneered, "Old man, you’re free to go. I’m not stopping you. I’m here for a little business with Gui He, to ask him to come with me. As for you? Go wherever you want, don’t act so self-important."

"You!" Turtle Lao Wu was infuriated by Terry’s words, but regrettably, the Turtle Clan’s combat power was far too weak. He wanted to teach Terry a lesson, but he lacked the strength to do so.

"An old fool clinging to his age, pah!" Terry spat contemptuously past Turtle Lao Wu and looked at Gui He again, "Well? Will you grace me with your presence?"

"Sure." Gui He did not refuse, immediately agreeing.

Terry grinned, "Then come with me."

With that, he turned and left, not caring whether Gui He might run away.

Just as Gui He was about to follow, Turtle Second Uncle grabbed Gui He, "You can’t go; he’s clearly here to deal with you."

"Second Uncle, one can escape temporarily, but can one escape for a lifetime? This time he’s invited me in good faith; next time, he might resort to some underhanded tactics. Am I to be on guard all the time?"

"This..."

Gui He was right, his appearance this time not only affected the Leopard Clan, but the greatest impact was on the Tianxiang Fox Clan and Lin Lang. As for Terry, whom he’d been sent by... Gui He didn’t care.

Seeing Gui He’s words were reasonable, Turtle Lao Wu gritted his teeth and said, "If you can, give that kid a good beating for me. Even if he is from the Bloodline Tiger Clan, if you cripple him, I’ll back you up!"

"Alright." Gui He nodded and followed after Terry, who was about to disappear from sight.

The two left the capital and arrived at Hong Tian Peak, three miles outside the city.

This peak didn’t stand here in earlier years; the beastmen’s capital was built on flat plains, where high mountains wouldn’t appear.

Tianhong Peak was brought from the Far North Land by the Lionheart God with great effort.

Its purpose was to create a watchtower for the capital.

However, with the increasing power of the beastmen, this watchtower lost its original function of vigilance and has now completely become a venue for the beastmen nobility’s private challenges.

Today, Tianhong Peak was crowded with noble sons and daughters of the capital.

Gui He scanned the crowd and saw nearly all the beastmen who had once mocked and bullied him were present.

Today’s event seemed to be a setup specially designed for Gui He, but Gui He himself was exactly looking to jump into such a setup.

Terry said to Gui He with a cheesy smile, "How about it? Are you satisfied with the stage I’ve set up for you today?"

"Very satisfied." Gui He nodded, "When do we start?"

Hearing Gui He’s reply, Terry was somewhat stunned; damn, he knew it was a trap he set up for himself and still fearless?

"We’re not in the capital; even if I kill you here, it won’t matter!" Terry threatened.

"Oh," Gui He replied and then couldn’t wait to step into the dueling arena that Lin Lang had set up for him.

From the center of the stands, Gui He spotted Lin Lang and Tian Xianghong.

Seeing Gui He’s gaze turn here, Lin Lang intentionally embraced Tian Xianghong into his arms, asserting his territory.

In Gui He’s eyes, this behavior was no different from a child’s, laughably childish.

If he hadn’t awakened and come to his senses before, he might have been heartbroken now, but the enlightened Gui He’s heart was calm as water, displaying the steady temperament of an old dog to its fullest.

"Lin Lang, are you the one fighting me today?"

In response to Gui He’s question, Lin Lang chuckled, "You want to fight me? Are you worthy?"

"Then is he worthy?" Gui He pointed to Terry.

Damn it!

Terry’s expression immediately turned dark. What did that mean?

Lin Lang was also choked by Gui He’s words and was speechless for a while.

The other clan descendants burst into hearty laughter, their esteem for Gui He rising unconsciously.

"Terry, I’ve already set the stage for you. Didn’t you say you wanted to give this arrogant kid a good beating? What are you waiting for?" An annoyed Lin Lang now just wanted to see Gui He get thrashed.

"Don’t fucking blabber to me," Terry, holding equal status to Lin Lang, was quite dissatisfied with Lin Lang’s commanding tone.

Lin Lang also realized his tone, softening his words, "Everyone here has been waiting too long, we have other activities to attend to, we can’t delay any longer because of this."

"Hmph!" Terry accepted Lin Lang’s reasoning and leaped onto the arena.

Gui He, looking up at Terry who was two heads taller than himself, smiled and said, "Come on, let me see what’s so special about the legendary Tiger Clan."

"Then I’ll let you have a good look!"

No sooner had the words fallen than Terry’s body burst forth with a powerful reddish-brown aura, blood-red patterns slowly climbing over his whole body.

Power, explosive power surged from within Terry, almost visible to the naked eye.

This guy, he definitely possessed the strength of the Late Second Transition, the strongest opponent he had faced so far.

Taking a deep breath, Gui He took down his Heavy Sword from his back, and his Bloodline Power also activated in sync, ready to embrace the coming battle at full power.

Terry grinned, "Are you ready?"

"Bring it on!"

Following Gui He’s reply, Terry’s figure exploded, turning into a blood-colored streak as he fiercely slammed towards Gui He.

Terry’s speed was fast, so fast that it somewhat alarmed Gui He.

But fortunately, he could still just catch Terry’s movements, and raised his sword to block.

In the next second, Terry’s fist smashed onto the blade, the brute strength igniting waves of sound.

The wild breath swept across the entire arena, and if it weren’t for the guards activating protective shields, the noble spectators would probably be covered in dust and ash.

Seeing Terry’s might, many beastman young masters showed grave expressions, wondering why someone who lazed around with women all day was improving faster than them?

After blocking Terry’s punch, Gui He was forced to retreat again and again.

But Terry had no intention of letting his opponent go so easily, swinging a round kick to Gui He’s side.

Knowing Terry’s terrifying brute strength, Gui He resolved that he could not take a hit; as Terry’s kick came in, Gui He channeled his Qi and blood, thrusting his sword towards Terry’s chest.

Trade injury for life?

Of course, Terry was unwilling. He quickly retracted his kick, swatted aside the Heavy Sword, and neutralized the danger.

Gui He, taking advantage of the swat, swung his Heavy Sword around in a circle, slashing again towards Terry’s neck.

Terry reached out to grasp the Heavy Sword, feeling that without the huge sword in hand, he would surely chase and beat Gui He, so he aimed to disarm Gui He, take away his Heavy Sword and leave him weaponless.

Protected by his Bloodline Power, Terry wasn’t afraid of the sharp blade at all, gripping it firmly.

Realizing Terry’s intention, Gui He decisively used a Skill, his body crossing the void behind him, and a Blood River roared into existence.

Terry had not anticipated this move at all and got hit squarely by the Blood River.

To Terry, the collision was like a million fists pounding on him; although the damage was not great, the oppressive force was immense.
