Chapter 482: 482

A sword slashed across.

Tang Ran’s body was directly severed from his head.

His entire body collapsed to the ground with a thud, while his head dropped like a ball, rolling on the ground, and only came to a stop with the expression of terror he had just before death still etched on his visage, eyes wide open.

With his head severed, Tang Ran was truly dead.

Anyone who knew of the deeds Tang Ran had done felt a surge of relief at this scene, relieved that the man was finally dead.

Watching Tang Ran’s corpse, Tang Zhong felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction, as if he had fulfilled a great wish. Tang Ran had been like a huge stone weighing on his chest, but now, the stone had finally fallen.

All this time, Tang Zhong had been fighting with everything he had.

He had no other purpose but revenge, and now, Tang Ran was finally dead.

"Father, Mother, I have avenged your deaths!" Tang Zhong murmured in his heart.

His parents would surely be overjoyed to hear this news.

Once, all troubles began right in front of the Tang Family’s gates, and now everything had ended there as well!

Without a second glance at Tang Ran’s corpse, Tang Zhong could no longer bear the sight of this detestable person and promptly sheathed the Blood Sword.

Directly opposite, he encountered Li Linglong who was behind him.

Li Linglong stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am Li Linglong!"

"I have seen you in Zhu Island City," replied Tang Zhong.

"This... It’s best if we have met!" Li Linglong awkwardly laughed.

"Also, when did I become a General?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

He had never received any orders to become a General!

"This... ahem, if I say you are one, then that’s settled!" Li Linglong replied awkwardly.

Actually, the whole affair of the Major General title was nothing more than Li Linglong’s own statement!

His master had said they should assist Tang Zhong, and now that they were offering him the title of General, what of it? Now that he had preemptively granted it, upon his return, he would just need to inform his master, acting first and reporting afterward, his master would surely agree.

"Thank you very much!" Tang Zhong said.

He wouldn’t refuse the title of Major General; now that he had become a Grandmaster, he understood the power’s importance more than ever. If he hadn’t had this so-called major general status today, he wouldn’t have been able to get past Secretary Qin’s barrier. Even if he could have killed Tang Ran, the trouble it would have caused would have been immense. Moreover, with the name of General, those people were scared off into a panic.

This is the world, where the strong are revered!

"That’s good, I thought you might refuse!" Li Linglong said with a smile, "Hello, I am Li Linglong, known as the ’Young Overlord’!"

"My name is Tang Zhong. Thank you for today; because of you, I was able to personally slay my enemy. If there is anything in the future, I, Tang Zhong, will certainly lend you a helping hand!" Tang Zhong responded.

He could see everything clearly; this Li Linglong had a good heart. To make a friend of him would be quite excellent.

"Good, it’s a promise!" Li Linglong replied with a smile, "By the way, my master said he wants to meet you!"

"I will naturally visit when I have time!" said Tang Zhong.

Anyone who could so casually bestow the title of General was certainly no ordinary person.

"Then we will take our leave now!" Li Linglong said.

"Okay!"

Then Li Linglong departed with the enchanting woman and the burly man.

But before leaving, Li Linglong looked at Wu Shanhe and the old men from the Wei Family, warning, "You all are martial artists. The status of Tang as General is confidential. It must not be leaked, or else death is the only outcome!"

"Yes!" Wu Shanhe and the others from the Wei Family immediately nodded in agreement; they couldn’t possibly fail to recognize the Young Overlord, Li Linglong.

Soon after, Li Linglong and his party walked away into the distance.

At that point, Wu Shanhe and the Wei Family’s old men also came forward.

Wu Shanhe, a smooth operator, said, "Master Tang, I deserve to die for having offended you just now!"

Then he knelt on the ground and produced a Luminous Pearl that sparkled brightly.

On his person, he often carried treasures, prepared for unforeseen needs, ready to apologize should he provoke someone he shouldn’t.

"This is a Luminous Pearl from the deep sea, now presented to Grandmaster Tang!"

"I do not need the pearl, you may leave!" Tang Zhong said coldly.

Today, he only intended to kill Tang Ran, and had no interest in anyone else.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shanhe, whose heart had been tense, finally relaxed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Grandmaster Tang, for sparing my life. From now on, I, Wu Shanhe, will certainly follow Grandmaster Tang as my leader!"

After speaking, Wu Shanhe turned and left.

And there was Wei Lao, slowly stepping forward. As a fellow grandmaster, he didn’t even rank within the top hundred on the Master List, and considering the other was so young, he would surely become a dragon in the future.

"Grandmaster Tang, this old man was blind to the True Dragon, and acted rashly!" Wei Lao said.

"You may also leave!" Tang Zhong said indifferently.

Wei Lao was also here for Secretary Qin, so there was no chance of getting a pleasant response.

"This..." Wei Lao’s expression turned ugly.

However, the young woman next to him, upon hearing this, became furious. Her name was Wei Xiaoqing. She had a certain beauty and was a martial artist. Although shocked by Tang Zhong’s strength, she always regarded her grandfather as the strongest. She immediately retorted, "You... how can you speak to my grandfather like that? Not everyone is worthy of talking to my grandfather. Do you think just because you killed a worthless man on the ground, you’re really that powerful?"

Wei Xiaoqing also knew of the Martial World, but she didn’t know who Tang Ran was, let alone anything about the Master List. When she arrived, she saw Tang Ran lying on the ground, and naturally assumed Tang Ran was good for nothing.

"Xiaoqing, shut your mouth!" Wei Lao shouted.

"But, Grandfather, this person is too rude!" Wei Xiaoqing said.

"Quickly apologize to Grandmaster Tang, right now, this instant!" Wei Lao certainly didn’t want his granddaughter to provoke this True Dragon in front of them.

Wei Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, having never seen her grandfather this fierce.

"I won’t..."

"You must apologize!" Wei Lao said, growing more anxious.

A Grandmaster must not be insulted, and if his granddaughter angered Tang Zhong, her future would be undoubtedly doomed.

Wei Xiaoqing still wanted to be stubborn, but at that moment, Wei Lao knelt down and apologized to Tang Zhong, "Grandmaster Tang, my granddaughter is too arrogant and has offended Grandmaster Tang. I hope Grandmaster Tang won’t be angry!"

He knew well that a Grandmaster must not be insulted!

Therefore, he must apologize for his granddaughter!

"Grandmaster Wei, please get up. Women are ignorant; this is common," Tang Zhong said indifferently.

"I won’t take it to heart with her!"

After that, they saw Tang Zhong had already walked a great distance away.

Wei Lao then stood up from the ground.

Wei Xiaoqing was very unhappy. Her grandfather, who had always been invincible in her eyes, was now kneeling to a young man, "Grandfather, why did you kneel to him?"

"Foolish girl, do you realize that you almost caused a huge disaster? Our Wei Family could have been destroyed by you!" Wei Lao said as he stood up, looking at Wei Xiaoqing.

"Why?" Wei Xiaoqing looked upset.

"Grandfather is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and that fellow just killed a worthless man, why would Grandfather fear him? Grandfather is not weaker than him!"

"Weaker? Compared to him, grandfather, you are far behind. Do you know who that man who just died was?" Wei Lao said.

"I don’t know!" Wei Xiaoqing shook her head.

"Master List number twelve Tang Ran, but in that person’s hands, he couldn’t even withstand a single move. You must know Meng Wuxiang!" Wei Lao said.

"Meng Wuxiang... of course I know, that person is incredibly strong!" Wei Xiaoqing immediately responded.

Wei Xiaoqing didn’t know much about Grandmasters, but she did know about Meng Wuxiang. She once had the chance to go to the military and met that person. His name was Meng Wuxiang, who had visited the Wei Family, and at that time, they treated Meng Wuxiang as their most distinguished guest. It was said that Meng Wuxiang was the number one on the Master List, his strength immensely powerful.

"And that person just now, his strength could be compared to Meng Wuxiang’s, and he is even above Meng Wuxiang!" Wei Lao said.

"What?" At that moment, Wei Xiaoqing couldn’t remain calm anymore.
