Chapter 969: Chapter 979: The Number One Figure! (3 more)

The entire Xuan Country was on the verge of an uproar. You have to know, this was Yan Chihuo!

No one expected that Yan Chihuo would actually agree to a duel with Tang Zhong.

And both of them agreed to it.

The major martial arts sects were completely shaken. This time, no matter what, they had to witness the battle between these two people.

One was an old-school expert from Xuan Country, who had been famous since the battles against the Japanese invaders, and fifty years ago, had already reached the top of the Black List.

Fifty years later, no one knew what his exact strength was.

The other was the strongest among the younger generation in the current era. Having been in the scene for only three years, he had pressured the Lucao Kingdom to bow down, and the Federation to submit, fighting his way across the world, ranked at the Martial Arts Peak.

The two were destined to fight!

You have to know, this was a battle between two of Xuan Country’s strongest. Watching such a battle could greatly aid in one’s martial arts cultivation.

So people from all corners of Xuan Country prepared to head towards Xuanjing City.

Kunlun, Heavenly Mountain, and the major martial arts families all left their homes, heading toward Xuanjing City.

Of course, this battle was not only attracting attention from Xuan Country. The entire world was stirred.

The ability users almost went mad.

On various ability user forums, posts about Tang Zhong and Yan Chihuo’s battle attracted everyone’s attention.

"Holy crap, it’s Yan Chihuo, has he come out of seclusion?"

"Yan Chihuo, the number one in Xuan Country, if only I could witness this battle!"

Almost all the ability users knew who Yan Chihuo was. Fifty years ago he was on the Black List, and back then Ogur and Wuji didn’t even know where they stood. This proved how strong Yan Chihuo was. Even though his ranking hadn’t increased over the years, his strength must have.

Thus, people from all over the world were paying attention to this battle.

Strong individuals from Luo Country and Water Country, among others, were preparing to witness this fight.

One could say the battle between these two had become the talk of the town.

The battle was set for three days later!

Tang Zhong was in the Dragon Group every day. The other members were worried for him, afraid something might happen to him, but Tang Zhong didn’t seem concerned at all.

Instead, he insisted that the Dragon Group members investigate the news of the old general’s death no matter what!

Of course, some came to persuade Tang Zhong not to fight Yan Chihuo.

Weiwei was the first. She rushed into the Dragon Group like a madwoman to find Tang Zhong.

As soon as she entered the office, she slammed the table and shouted, "You absolutely cannot fight Yan Chihuo!"

Tang Zhong ignored her.

"Why aren’t you listening to me? Yan Chihuo is extremely strong. You’re not his opponent at all!" Weiwei said.

"Why do you think I’m not his opponent?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Because I’m from the Yan Family, so I know everything!" Weiwei said, looking extremely anxious, "I hope you won’t fight him. He was unspeakably powerful fifty years ago!"

"So what?" Tang Zhong smiled.

"What do you mean, so what... you’ll die!" Weiwei said.

"Don’t worry!" Tang Zhong waved his hand.

Weiwei stomped her foot in frustration, "I’m not bothering with you anymore!"

She turned to leave, but then suddenly turned back at the door, "Let me tell you something, the first figure wants to see you!"

"Let him come then!" Tang Zhong smiled.

The first figure!

Xuan Country’s first figure, the man who once commanded the storms, the founder of Xuan Country!

Tang Zhong had admired him for a long time!

Hearing this, Weiwei opened the door and slammed it shut with a bang. After she walked out, she clenched her fists, her angry expression quickly turned into concern.

"Silly boy, Yan Chihuo isn’t as simple as you think!"

But she realized that no matter what she said, she couldn’t stop Tang Zhong. She might as well let that person speak.

Half a day later, outside the Dragon Group, a grand entourage arrived, and the Dragon Group received word that a big personality was coming.

So Zhang Changgong and the others waited at the gate.

Finally, as a Hongqi car slowly drove in, an amiable old man stepped out, wearing a Zhongshan suit, surrounded by bodyguards, as he entered the Dragon Group.

Upon seeing the arrival, Zhang Changgong immediately stepped forward to shake hands and said, "You’re here!"

The first figure smiled, "Yes, it’s been a long time since I last came to the Dragon Group. I came to see if Tang Zhong is here."

"He is!" Zhang Changgong said.

"Where is he?" The first figure’s eyes scanned the room. He knew Tang Zhong. When Peng Yuan suggested appointing a Divine Dragon army, he’d already seen Tang Zhong’s portrait.

"He’s not here!" Zhang Changgong’s expression subtly changed. It had to be known that this was the first figure; Tang Zhong sure had guts to not be here.

The bodyguard beside him shouted upon hearing this, "The first figure is here, and he’s not coming to greet him!"

But before he could finish speaking, the first figure stopped him.

"Then I will go find him!" the first figure said with a smile, showing no airs.

"Alright!" Zhang Changgong smiled, but his expression was quite unpleasant.

The first figure was so benevolent, otherwise, not so many would have chosen to follow him.

"This way, please!" Zhang Changgong led him into the Dragon Group.

Soon, inside the room, they saw Tang Zhong.

The first figure let the bodyguards wait at the door and entered the room alone.

Inside, Tang Zhong was writing with a brush.

As the final stroke was completed, the first figure laughed heartily, "Not bad, for someone so young, your brushwork has such flair, I am truly impressed!"

Only then did Tang Zhong put down the brush and turn to face the first figure. This old man seemed kind, yet there was one thing about him that Tang Zhong greatly disliked.

He hadn’t appeared at General Peng Yuan’s funeral.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" the first figure asked with a smile.

Tang Zhong immediately bowed his head in respect, "Greetings, First Figure!"

"No need to be so formal!" the first figure said, "I’ve heard from Peng Yuan that you are talented, and seeing you today, it truly lives up to the name!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Tang Zhong said.

The first figure looked at Tang Zhong, as though he could see through what Tang Zhong was thinking, "Are you angry?"

Indeed, Tang Zhong was angry because at General Peng Yuan’s funeral, the first figure did not attend.

"I wouldn’t dare!" Tang Zhong shook his head.

"Ah, some things aren’t as you think!" Suddenly, the first figure sighed.

Tang Zhong sensed there might be more to the story.

"You are willing to offend me for Peng Yuan, which shows your loyalty to him. Since that is the case, I will tell you everything!" the first figure said, "Actually, it’s not that I didn’t want to come, it’s that I couldn’t come!"
