Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Cloud Sword!

Tang Zhong left with Fang Susu.

As the two of them walked away, many eyes were upon them.

The people at the martial arts gathering did not recognize Tang Zhong’s identity, all looking down on him with disdain.

Outside, the Fang Family’s steward saw Tang Zhong and Fang Susu leave, and he was extremely respectful; after all, the other party was a martial arts master. Although he didn’t reveal his identity, he was certainly not ordinary. Have you ever seen a person of common status practice to become a martial arts master at such an age? And to easily become a grandmaster in the future, what is the difference between offending a grandmaster and seeking death?

When those who were still burning incense at the entrance of Fang Family saw Tang Zhong leave, they couldn’t help but show their respect.

At that moment, Tang Zhong’s entire attention was focused on the stone in his hand.

This stone clearly wasn’t an Origin Stone, so why was it exuding the aura of an Origin Stone?

Regardless of what it was, he had definitely acquired a good item this time.

Standing beside him, Fang Susu saw this scene and understood that the spiritual medicine was not what Mr. Tang needed; what he needed was that stone.

Clutching the stone tightly in his hand, Tang Zhong tried to crush the stone to powder by leveraging his strength, but when he exerted force, a blue light emanated from the stone, surging toward his palm.

Even though Tang Zhong used the power of a grandmaster and his palm glowed red, the stone remained motionless.

Strange?

Tang Zhong was surprised; he could crush an Origin Stone, but now he couldn’t crush this small stone, which was quite odd indeed.

Everyone knows about having a body as tough as iron, but now this stone turned out to be just as hard.

Unable to do anything with the stone, Tang Zhong could only put it away.

"Does this stone have something peculiar about it, Mr. Tang?" Fang Susu asked.

"It’s a bit peculiar," replied Tang Zhong.

"Oh!" Fang Susu glanced at the stone in Tang Zhong’s hand a few times, saying, "It just looks like a little stone!"

"It probably is!" Tang Zhong said.

No sooner had the sound of his voice faded, Tang Zhong shook all over in the very next moment.

Suddenly, a vast expanse of whiteness flashed before his eyes, and from the sky, a broad-bladed giant sword came out of nowhere, sweeping thousands of troops with its astonishing presence, as if condensed from the clouds—it was none other than a Cloud Sword, and it was slashing toward Tang Zhong.

Everything in front of Tang Zhong turned white in an instant, and his body shivered again; in a split second, the scene before him vanished, replaced by sweat all over his body.

Next to him, Fang Susu only blinked to see Tang Zhong drenched in sweat, as if he had just performed a strenuous exercise.

"Mr. Tang, what happened to you?"

"I... I’m fine," muttered Tang Zhong.

It all happened too fast, entirely beyond his expectations.

The sudden appearance of the giant sword, sweeping across the heavens and the earth!

Tang Zhong quickly looked down at the stone in his palm, which now seemed different in his eyes, and he was certain that the sword that appeared in his mind was somehow related to this stone.

Just at that moment, Tang Zhong felt an intense heat in his chest. It was the Dragon Jade Pendant. He quickly took out the two Jade Pendants, only to find the Dragon Jade shining brightly, as if it had made contact with something, while the Phoenix was still dim.

This scene was very familiar; it was exactly the same as it had been on the Beacon Tower in Brick City, with the Dragon Jade Pendant looking just like it did now.

Could it be that the stone in his palm, like the Instantaneous Movement Stone obtained from the Beacon Tower, possessed some kind of power?

The power of the Instantaneous Movement Stone was inexplicable, so what kind of power could this stone possess?

Tang Zhong could not see through it now; all he could do was put it away, knowing that this time, he had truly stumbled upon a treasure.

"Mr. Tang, are you really okay?" Fang Susu was still worried, seeing the sudden change in him.

"I’m fine," Tang Zhong declared, then suddenly his brow furrowed.

He turned quickly, scanning behind him.

The two of them had already walked far from the Fang Family.

The Fang Family was located in the suburbs, and this was a stretch of tall grassland.

At that moment, Tang Zhong looked at a patch of grass and said coldly, "Come out!"

Fang Susu was also stunned, looking at the grassland, "Mr. Tang, there’s no one there!"

But just then, a hearty laugh came from within the grass.

"I hadn’t expected you to be so alert, brother!" As they looked, the previously seen bald-headed Liu Xu walked out, no longer wearing the guise of a swindling vendor, but now exuding a fierce aura.

"It’s you!" Fang Susu exclaimed in surprise; she was not foolish, and the presence of these people here was surely premeditated: "What are you planning to do?"

"What do you think, beauty!" Liu Xu looked extremely lewd, "Of course, I’ve taken a fancy to you, and I also want to reclaim the spiritual medicine that belongs to us!"

"You are committing fraud!" Fang Susu raged.

"Fraud... No, you got that wrong. Bullying the strong, that’s fraud. Bullying the weak, this is crushing. Come over here, my beauty, or else I’ll kill you!" the bald Liu Xu sneered with a sinister smile.

"I won’t let you!" Fang Susu bit her teeth angrily.

"Really? In a while, bald brother here will make sure you enjoy yourself. Now, hand over your money and the spiritual medicine from earlier. Not blinking an eye while buying spiritual medicine for two hundred thousand--you must be wealthy..." Liu Xu bellowed.

At this moment, Tang Zhong looked at Liu Xu and smiled, saying, "Tell the rest of your people to come out."

"What?" Liu Xu was taken aback.

"I said, have your people come out now, did you not understand me?" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"Just me alone is enough to kill you, why would I need other people? Ridiculous!" Liu Xu laughed coldly.

"Oh, come out, the ones hiding in the bushes!" Tang Zhong called out to the grass beside him.

Walking here, he had felt something was off. Right now, there were three people in the vicinity.

Liu Xu was stunned, then burst out laughing and said, "It seems I’ve underestimated you..."

Suddenly, he turned and shouted towards the bushes, "Come on out, you guys too!"

From the bushes, two people emerged, one was a one-eyed man, and the other was a soft-looking man.

"To actually discern out the presence of the two of us!"

"Kid, hand over the money!" Liu Xu shouted directly.

"Just come at me all together!" Tang Zhong said coldly.

"What?" Liu Xu and the other two were stunned, not comprehending what Tang Zhong meant.

"Are you suggesting that we should come at you directly?" Liu Xu asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu burst into laughter, "In all these years, I’ve been robbing others at these martial arts gatherings, and I have never seen such a foolhardy greenhorn. Usually, people tremble in fear. Since you’re so eager to be robbed, I’ll make your wish come true right now!"

"Second, third, where’s the fourth?" Liu Xu called out to the one-eyed man and the effeminate man.

"The fourth is behind, he hasn’t arrived yet. He’s always been on the lookout at the Fang Family’s main entrance, we haven’t had time to notify him yet!" the one-eyed man replied.

"All right, the three of us are more than enough to handle such a ’mighty’ man. I’ll share this woman with you two, no need to tell the fourth!" Liu Xu declared.

"Okay!" A sharp light shone in the eyes of the other two men.

Then they all turned to look at Tang Zhong and Fang Susu in front of them.

"Step back!" Tang Zhong ordered.

"Ah!" Fang Susu nodded and then immediately stepped back.

"Someone is insulting you, and you are my benefactor, so I will make them die!" Tang Zhong said icily.

These were martial artists, not ordinary people, and they were scum among martial artists.

Hearing Tang Zhong’s words, Fang Susu stood stunned, gazing blankly at Tang Zhong.

When Liu Xu and his men heard Tang Zhong’s explosive words, their bodies shuddered before they burst into laughter. "Ignorant fool, do you really think you can kill us? Judging by your age, are you even a martial artist? Haha, I won’t hide it from you, I’m about to become a martial arts master; are you scared now?"

"Yes, I’m terrified!" Tang Zhong said, laughing.

But at that moment, from afar, a voice carried over.

"Big brother... big brother, whatever you do, do not provoke a pair, a man and a woman, please don’t provoke them!"

Liu Xu was startled. Wasn’t that the fourth’s voice? And what’s this about a pair, a man, and a woman not to provoke?

A pair, a man and a woman... Liu Xu turned to glance at Tang Zhong and Fang Susu. Weren’t they a pair?

"That man is a martial arts master!"

What? A martial arts master?

Liu Xu turned again to look at Tang Zhong, who was still smiling. He frowned for a moment, but then his expression relaxed. How could this person possibly be a martial arts master?

At that moment, a short and chubby man came running over in a rush, dripping with sweat. He was shouting as he ran.

That was when his gaze fell on Tang Zhong. In that instant, the chubby man’s pupils dilated dramatically. He had been running, but then he came to a full stop.

He had witnessed Tang Zhong destroying the stone lion with his own eyes and had seen Tang Zhong’s strength.

Seeing this, Liu Xu immediately called out, "Fourth, come here quickly, we can work together, kill for loot and lust!"

But at that moment, the chubby man thudded to his knees on the ground and started begging Tang Zhong for mercy. "Big brother, we were wrong, I was wrong, I have nothing to do with these guys!"
