Chapter 541: Chapter 68: Consuming the Yin Yang Fish, Life Soul Breakthrough! The Legend of Liu Tianning! (8K)_2

After carefully verifying, he discovered that indeed, among the members recorded under Liu Tianning’s command, there was one named Zhao Xing, and his appearance was exactly as described by the person speaking earlier.

"So you’re Mr. Liu’s esteemed disciple, very well then! We will make way immediately!"

The bearded military officer immediately ordered the Blood Shadow Flying Boat to move.

Zhao Xing wanted to ask about the relationship between him and Lao Liu, but unexpectedly, the other party not only stepped aside but also hurriedly ran away!

Zhoa Xing: "..."

He never expected such an outcome.

Lao Liu’s name worked so effectively during these times?

"Biography of Marquis" didn’t mention how powerful Liu Tianning was when he was young.

"Family" only mentioned that the Liu family of Taihe County had a unique proficiency in the Grassman Skill.

When Zhao Xing got to know Lao Liu, Liu Tianning was already a ruthless first-grade big shot.

How could he have such a great reputation now?

Zhao Xing found that his understanding of this ’big villain’ from his previous life was somewhat lacking.

First, Lao Liu was not only unfeeling but was also a bit romantic! Not to mention Princess You Ruo, Murong Qing, who was still a married woman...

Secondly, while Lao Liu’s actions were decisive and efficient, he wasn’t exactly cold-blooded.

At least Zhao Xing hadn’t heard of him killing many people or harshly dealing with major cases.

"It seems I still don’t know Lao Liu well enough," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

...

The bearded military officer ordered the Blood Shadow Flying Boat to proceed for another twenty or thirty miles before his friend and deputy general, somewhat puzzled, asked: "Brother, why are we running?"

"He is indeed Liu Tianning’s disciple," the bearded military officer said.

The young deputy general asked, "Even if he is Liu Tianning, do we need to fear him this much?"

"You are still young and inexperienced, it’s normal you don’t know," the bearded military officer shook his head.

"Brother, how formidable is he? You are also fifth-rank!"

The bearded military officer sneered: "My fifth-rank was entirely due to the court’s forced promotion; how could I compare to Liu Wanfa?"

The young deputy general became more curious: "Brother, tell me, what makes Liu Tianning so remarkable?"

The bearded military officer said: "In the Dingxin Calendar... Well, I can’t recall the exact year, I was serving in Guiyuan Cave Heaven under the Military Realm."

"At that time, I was probably in my fifties, still only at the eighth-grade Spirit Bridge Realm."

"But Liu Tianning, he was not even twenty yet and had already achieved Seventh Grade Earth Evil Realm Perfection!"

"You know that children from aristocratic families have titles or loose ranks, and their realms are not so restricted."

"Liu Tianning had no official position, his strength was entirely self-cultivated!"

"He traveled to Guiyuan Cave Heaven and happened to pass through the ’Liang City’ of Guiyuan Cave Heaven. The governance there, especially inside the cave, was not as clean as it is now."

"There was a notorious corrupt official in Liang City who colluded with the stationed Camp General, engaging in corruption and even nurturing a gang of bandits!"

"That gang somehow set their sights on Liu Tianning and his friends."

"As a result, nearly two thousand bandits were wiped out by Liu Tianning alone, including seven chiefs at the Heavenly Gang Realm and more than fifty at the Seventh Grade Earth Evil Realm, all of whom he killed cleanly!"

The young deputy general retorted: "How strong could bandits be? Even if there were seven at the sixth-grade and more than fifty at the seventh-grade, they were just a disorderly band, easily scared off."

"You think they were ordinary bandits? Many of them were retired military officers, and he didn’t just defeat them, he slaughtered them!"

The bearded military officer snorted: "If you look down upon the bandits, do you at least respect Guiyuan Cave Heaven’s regular army?"

The young deputy general earnestly replied: "Of course, the Guiyuan Army is among the top three hundred strong armies."

The bearded military officer said: "At that time, the corrupt official, fearing exposure, colluded with the Camp General to dispatch regular troops to seize Liu Tianning."

"The camp I was in was also mobilized to participate in the siege."

"In the end, Liu Tianning took the head of a fully sixth-grade Perfection military officer right before our three battalions of over three thousand men!"

"What?" The young deputy general was also taken aback. "Did this really happen?"

"Three battalions of strong troops!" The bearded military officer sighed, "I won’t lie to you, brother, I was almost scared to death... Fortunately, Liu Tianning only killed the Camp General and didn’t lay a hand on us lowly soldiers."

"After that, I never saw him again, until many years later, when I heard his name again; it was his battle at the head of the Xunyang River..."

The young deputy general was waiting for his brother to continue speaking, but saw instead his brother’s Earth Mirror tremble; it was a message from ’Xing Ming,’ issuing a new order.

"Let’s go, to the Dark Stone Coral Reef on the Ice and Fire Island, there’s something good coming out there!"

.....

The Flying Boat traveled for another fifteen minutes, and the Ice and Fire Island was already in sight.

Eight Flying Boats once again blocked Zhao Xing’s path.

This time, without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhao Xing proactively showed Lao Liu’s banner.

"This is the exploration team flag of Lord Liu Tianning! Who dares block the way?!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The eight Flying Boats instantly disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Long Xiao was stunned: "Your teacher’s name works wonders, doesn’t it?"

Chen Shijie was also surprised; it was unheard of that the Minister of Agriculture could be this capable.

Logically speaking, in terms of fighting, the Minister of Agriculture was not supposed to be invincible at the same level.

Like Xia Jing and him, both sixth-rank, the Minister of Agriculture could not defeat Xia Jing nor Long Xiao.

Liu Tianning’s effectiveness couldn’t be attributed to his background, because in this place, all top exploration teams had comparable backgrounds.

If it wasn’t due to his background, it had to be pure strength!

Only by having overwhelming power could one make others obedient in such a competitive environment.
