‘What the f*ck!
‘Did they think that we’re all stupid? You might as well say that you’re aliens!’
The faces of the Nanyang generals twitched.
“I’ll leave your people here. Please come and pick them up yourself! Oh, right, these warships are too shabby!”
After saying that, Tang Hao ended the communication.
In the command center, the faces of the Nanyang people alternated between several shades of embarrassment and anger.
Chapter 716 - Your Opponent Is Me
On an island in Nanyang.
A man in his sixties with graying hair put down his phone with a grim expression on his face.
The fighter jets could not take off, and the warships were all crippled. However, the Huaxianese side did not seem to have suffered any losses.
This situation had exceeded his expectations.
He had expected that the military forces would be able to inflict heavy damage to the Huaxianese even if they might not be able to defeat them.
However, the result had been out of his expectations!
“Useless!” He cursed in a low voice.
Then, he gritted his teeth, and a vicious look appeared on his face.
“Damn Huaxianese, it won’t be that easy to destroy me!”
He took a deep breath and walked out.
Outside was a vast plaza, and many figures in black clothes and felt hats were sitting there cross-legged. In front of each of them was a black suitcase.
With a glance, there were at least four to five hundred people.
However, no one made a sound.
All of them had solemn expressions.
Everyone knew that there would be a tough battle later, where one side would be wiped out. Even if they could win, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and many of them would not live to see the sunrise.
That figure walked out, and everyone turned to look at him.
Grandmaster Mulla took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “The Huaxianese… are coming! Everyone, get ready for a bloody battle!”
The people started whispering to each other.
Suddenly, someone stood up and shouted excitedly, “The Huaxianese have gone overboard! We’ll fight them to the death!”
“Right! Let’s fight them to the death!”
Another person stood up and shouted.
Then, one by one, they stood up and shouted until everyone in the plaza was on their feet.
Mulla nodded in satisfaction. If everyone’s morale was high, they still had a chance in this battle.
He turned around and looked to the side.
Three figures were sitting there. One of them was dressed in a monk’s robe. He had an aged face and a skinny body. His exposed skin was like gold, shining with a metallic luster.
His appearance was extremely similar to a Hindustani ascetic monk.
The other two were equally as old. One of them gave off a sinister aura.
“Seniors, I’ll leave this battle to you!”
Mulla bowed and said respectfully.
The old monk opened his eyes and grunted, “Don’t worry, we’ll do our best.”
The sinister old man said, “The Huaxianese are getting very brazen now. In the time of the old Dragons, they dared not start a battle with us. Now, this new Dragon thinks that he can wipe us out.
“Hmph! You think you can destroy Nanyang? Dream on!”
Mulla smiled, feeling a lot more at ease.
Of the three, two were full Perfected Persons, and one was a half-step Perfected Person. That was equivalent to three Dragons.
Huaxia would have three Dragons at most!
The two Taoist masters from the previous generation and the new one were all Perfected Persons. In a one-on-one battle, the Huaxianese side was indeed stronger.
However, the Nanyangese had a home turf advantage.
On the plaza, the cheers grew louder and louder.
Soon, they started to move into action. They checked the equipment in their suitcases and prepared for battle.
Following that, they filed out and rushed to the shore.
Over there, fortresses had been built with machine gun turrets set up. The land was also laid with many mines, and many mercenaries were stationed there.
It would be worth it if those mundane weapons would kill at least several Huaxianese cultivators.
They gathered behind the defensive lines.
Under Mulla’s command, coffins and pitch-black vats were moved in and placed at the back.
When everything was ready, the surroundings suddenly became terrifyingly quiet.
Everyone held their breaths. Their eyes were bright as they looked at the sea in front of them.
Ten minutes later, they could hear something beyond the horizon. Following that, they saw fishing vessels speeding over.
“They’re here!”
Everyone cried out in alarm.
“Open fire!”
The order was given, and bullets and rockets were fired from the fortresses.
However, the firearms were useless. When the bullets and rockets got near the fishing vessels, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
The fishing vessels remained unscathed after the attack.
The shamans were shocked. The situation was completely out of their expectations.
“Oh my god! What are they doing?”
Seeing that the fishing vessels had no intention of slowing down when they reached the shore, everyone was dumbfounded.
The fishing vessels rushed up the shore like tanks.
The mines exploded, but they could not cause any damage.
The fishing vessels were protected by a barrier.
Rockets were fired from the fishing vessels and easily obliterated the defensive lines.
The mercenaries were either dead or crippled.
Finally, the fishing boats stopped, and the explosions ceased.
When the smoke dispersed, many figures appeared on the fishing boats. They were at the height of their morale.
The person standing in the middle had a terrifying aura.
However, his face was blurry.
It was the Dragon of Huaxia!
The Nanyangese cultivators were all shocked.
The Dragon was a notorious figure around the world. They had heard of him before.
However, when the shamans looked at them carefully, they exclaimed in surprise and revealed puzzled expressions.
They realized that the Huaxianese side only had two Perfected Persons. The more powerful one was the Dragon, a full Perfected Person, while the other was a Taoist who was only a half-step.
That was it!
“It can’t be!”
They were all stunned.
They thought that Huaxia would go all out and invite all the powerful figures to destroy the Nanyang cultivation world. However, from the looks of it, that did not seem to be the case.
Even Mulla and the other old men were stunned.
Then, their expressions became strange.
‘If these are the only people they brought, they’re only heading to their graves!
‘How could the Huaxianese be so arrogant? Do they think that they could destroy the Nanyang cultivation world with these scant forces?’
‘Don’t tell me that there are more hiding in the boats?’ They thought to themselves.
“So, you’re Mulla?”
On the ship, Tang Hao’s gaze swept over and landed on Mulla. “You’re the one who ordered the attack on our Huaxianese forces?”
“So what if I am? This is Nanyang. I can’t allow you Huaxianese to run rampant over us!” Murat shouted coldly.
Tang Hao smirked and said, “How presumptuous!”
As he said that, he jumped and landed on the ground.
“Hmph! You’re the ones who are presumptuous. You think you can destroy Nanyang? Dream on!” Mulla shouted angrily.
The old monk also started speaking. “Stop talking nonsense. If you
want to fight, hurry up and bring out your strongest!”
Tang Hao smiled casually and said, “Everyone is here! Your opponent today is me!”
As he said, he raised his hand and pointed at the old monk and the sinister old man next to him.
Chapter 717 - The Outcome Is Set
The old monk was stunned.
The other Nanyang shamans were also stunned.
‘This guy isn’t joking, right? Does he intend to take on two of them by himself?
‘Hahaha!’
They almost burst out laughing, and their mood lightened up.
They thought that they were destined to meet their maker today, but they did not expect that the fool would want to take on two of them by himself. Did he have a death wish?
The two old men were from the previous generation and had incredible cultivation bases. On the other hand, that guy had only broken through recently. Even an idiot would know which side was stronger.
On the Huaxia side, the heavenly masters were frowning.
‘Spiritual Master Tang is too impulsive. We’ve told him to bring the two old guys from Mao Mountain along, but he refused to listen. What if he lost? What would he do then?’
“What should we do?”
“Run away when you see that the situation is going downhill! I’m a good swimmer, so I can escape. No, I’m not being a coward; I’m carrying on Huaxia’s legacy!”
The heavenly masters began to discuss among themselves.
“You talk big, kid!” The old monk sneered. “You can’t even take down just me, let alone two!”
The other sinister old man also sneered. “You overestimate yourself!”
“Then let’s fight!”
Tang Hao shouted coldly and waved his hand. Thirty-three jade talismans shot out, turning into a monstrous web of lightning.
“Prepare to die!”
The old monk roared and stomped his foot, charging toward Tang Hao with a burst of speed and pushed away the web of lightning.
The sinister old man cackled and cracked his neck. He lifted his hand in front of him and said, “I don’t want to bully him, but he’s bringing this upon himself!”
Behind him, the large vats began to tremble, and from within came terrible wails.
The lids broke, and black smoke gushed into the sky, turning into malicious ghosts.
“Go!”
He roared, and the countless ghosts pounced forward.
“Kill!”
“All the disciples of Mao Mountain, follow my lead and face the enemy!” Taoist Master Qian Ji roared.
He charged forward, and the Sword of Vanquishing flew out of its sheath.
“Kill!”
The Taoist masters roared and charged forward one by one, following behind Taoist Master Qian Ji.
Following that, the people from the various cultivation families and the Agency also jumped down from the fishing vessels.
On the Nanyang side, the shamans opened their suitcases, and countless wisps of black smoke soared into the sky. The coffins opened one after another, and zombies jumped out, each carrying a shocking aura of negative qi.
The great battle broke out in an instant!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jade talismans fell like raindrops. In a single exchange, many shamans were killed, and the zombies were also reduced to ashes.
Tang Hao had made those jade talismans, and they were extremely powerful.
However, the jade talismans were all expended in that attack. The Taoist masters took out yellow paper talismans and activated their spells, engaging in a fierce battle with the Nanyang shamans.
The cultivation families followed behind the Taoist masters.
The heavenly masters were still huddled on the ship, occasionally throwing a paper talisman.
Taoist Master Qian Ji charged first into the enemy’s formation. However, he was intercepted by the half-step Nanyang shaman, and a fierce battle broke out.
As for Tang Hao, he was fighting with the two full Perfected Persons.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Tang Hao used the two mirrors to fight against the old monk. From time to time, he would throw out jade talismans to kill the incoming malicious ghosts.
However, there were too many ghosts. After one wave was killed, another wave would come, as if there was no end to them.
After fighting for a while, the two Nanyang shamans frowned.
They thought that with their combined strength, killing that guy would be a piece of cake. If they could free up their hands to deal with the others, then the battle would end quickly.
However, they did not expect the guy to be so powerful.
“Go to hell!”
The old monk roared, brandished his qi aura, and threw a punch at Tang Hao.
Meanwhile, the sinister old man directed his malicious ghosts at Tang Hao.
The two of them coordinated their attacks to kill Tang Hao.
Tang Hao grunted, stomped his foot, and leaped backward.
The two mirrors came together and fused into one. It vibrated, and the surface of the mirror shone with a bright light. At the same time, a brilliant aura burst outward.
“What… What treasure is that?”
The two Nanyang shamans’ faces were contorted in shock.
Before they could react, the mirror shook and shot out a dazzling light that engulfed the old monk.
“Ah!”
With a scream, the old monk’s body trembled violently, and he spat out blood as he flew backward. When he landed on the ground, his entire body was drenched in blood and gore, and he looked extremely pathetic.
In an instant, the entire battlefield fell silent.
The people engaged in battle stopped fighting.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the center of the battlefield.
“How did that happen?”
The Nanyang shamans were stunned when they saw the old monk lying on the ground.
The person was from the previous generation, and they were fighting two against one. How could he lose so miserably?
The Huaxia side burst into cheers.
“All hail Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
“All hail Senior Tang!”
Their morale soared.
On the fishing vessel, the heavenly masters were also stunned.
“F*ck! So Awesome!”
“There’s hope! Let’s get down and kill those Nanyang bastards!” They cheered.
The heavenly masters became bolder. They jumped off the fishing vessel and charged toward their opponents, seemingly more eager than the Taoist masters.
“Now… It’s your turn!”
Tang Hao willed the mirror to face the malicious old man. Another beam of bright light shot out.
The old man’s expression changed drastically. Countless evil spirits gathered in front of him, trying to block the attack.
Whoosh!
The light tore apart the black smoke.
The old man wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He was hit by the light and flew backward, spewing out blood.
Tang Hao waved his hand, and dozens of jade talismans shot out, killing that guy.
A Perfected Person died just like that.
“Oh my god!”
The surrounding Nanyang shamans began to tremble. Their faces were filled with fear.
Mulla’s body trembled, and all color drained from his face.
“How can this be! How can this be…”
He muttered to himself with a dazed expression.
He had never expected that the guy was so powerful that even two seniors from the previous generation were not a match for him.
“It’s over!”
He muttered to himself, and his expression turned even more ghastly.
“Charge!”
The Taoist masters roared and launched another attack. Their momentum was unstoppable, and Nanyang shamans were forced to retreat.
From time to time, miserable cries tore through the night sky.
<
br /> One by one, the Nanyang shamans fell.
After killing the old monk, Tang Hao strolled towards Mulla.
“You shouldn’t have looked for trouble with us!”
Tang Hao looked at him coldly. He flicked his wrist and threw out several jade talismans, killing him.
The other half-step shaman was killed by Taoist Master Qian Ji.
The outcome of this battle was set!
Chapter 718 - Triumphant Return
Not long after, the last of the Nanyang shamans was killed.
Cheers erupted on the battlefield.
“All hail Senior Tang!”
“You’re too amazing, Senior Tang! My admiration for you is unending.”
The people from the cultivation families surrounded him and continuously flattered him.
The Taoist masters and heavenly masters looked awkward when they heard them call Tang Hao their senior.
They thought about it but eventually decided not to correct them.
Mu Xintong stood at the side and looked at that scene. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
However, when she saw those from the Mu family go up and address Tang Hao as Senior Tang, her face stiffened, and she could not smile anymore.
“Let’s go and see if there’s any loot for us!” Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted.
“Loot?”
The eyes of the Taoist masters lit up. They left no stone unturned in the entire island, and they almost excavated the place.
“Wow! So much gold!”
“Ooh! These are all Merrican dollars!”
They found many treasure vaults full of gold and jewelry, as well as Merrican dollars and Britannic pounds.
“We’re rich!”
The celestial masters who followed behind exclaimed.
“Get out of here! There’s no share for you, you cowards! These are ill-gotten gains that should be put into the charity foundation. I’ll beat you up if you dare to take a single cent.” Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted.
The celestial masters were unhappy, but they dared not say anything.
That guy was a half-step Perfected Person and was more powerful than all of them. They would not be able to defeat him in a fight.
They moved the loot onto the fishing vessels and set fire to the island.
