I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 379: News

Translator: 549690339 |

Like a windfall from heaven, a portal to a Fierce Realm suddenly appeared next to Mi Family’s village. Strong warriors from both the Tang Clan and Mi Family rushed over to this tiny village, where even the formidable Fierce Realm warriors emerged sporadically, and began guarding the entrance to the Fierce Realm gate, wishing to share in its profits. The negotiations for sharing ended in impasse several times.

The greedy assumption of Mi Family triggered the fury of the two clans’ leading warriors. In just one night, they razed Mi Family’s village to the ground.

It was assumed that all the inhabitants of Mi Family’s village had been killed. Surprisingly, some survivors appeared in external regions. However, Mi Chu was somewhat puzzled. “Even if there are survivors, what kind of trouble can a painter cause?”

When Mi Family’s village was destroyed more than ten years ago, it was assumed that a martial genius who had taken refuge outside the village would struggle for revenge and at worst, be in the dangerous Fierce Realm. A Fierce Realm warrior from a small family couldn’t really provoke much trouble. Some members of Mi Clan’s sub-branches couldn’t even defeat Mi Family and let alone others.

“Brother Chu, listen to what I want to share,” said Mi Shen, his star eyes filled with smiles. His forward attitude softened now. He did not regret that he had specially taken out some messages from the Wind Media Department to serve as ice-breaking gifts between them. “This artist is in his twenties, he was only ten when Mi Family’s village was destroyed. But it is such a person that surprised me greatly!”

“Oh?” Mi Chu was interested. A young man of ten couldn’t possibly remember all the martial arts techniques. After the destruction of the village, he had one conceivable path. But this very man had gradually grown into a great master of Calligraphy, and this even surprised Mi Shen. He was eager to listen to the reasons.

“He abandoned martial arts for literature, adopted street-street beggars, and made elaborate plans to associate with aristocratic sons like Xiao Zheng, Tang Luo, and Xu Sheng. Brother Chu, what do you think this man wants to do?” Mi Shen asked with a smile, already making his own judgement.

Giving up martial arts for literature showed that he had no family resources to support martial arts practice. It was a wise choice; adopting street beggars was in preparations to revitalize the village. Whether nurturing his faithful followers or cultivating his clansmen, this was the crucial part. If he wanted to hide his identity and live a simple life, he would not have bothered to associate with aristocratic sons!

From the combination of the above, Mi Bai’s actions had a clear aim which surprised him.

“Did a naive boy who took to the streets at the age of ten have such a tactical mind and courage?” Mi Chu also admired and said, “If he was born into a large family, he would have been recognized as a founding son.”

“Brother Chu, you speak the truth.” Mi Shen nodded in agreement. “This is the second message I wanted to share. The group of children who live with him are the people he values the most at the moment!”

Without people, Mi Bai would not be able to rebuild Mi Family’s village. A clan is essentially a group that supports the main bloodline. According to the information mentioned by the Wind Media Department, even when threatened by the Righteous Gang, Mi Bai didn’t abandon those children, let alone now.

“So, your idea is…?” Mi Chu was a little unclear. The overwhelming information confused him, and he couldn’t understand what Mi Shen meant.

“Brother Chu only needs a painting. Now that you know the painter’s background, there’s no need to offend Xu Sheng and Tang Luo. Although Xu Sheng is far away, Tang Luo is like a ruthless beast that doesn’t follow the rules. Interaction with him should be minimized.” Because he was worried for his sake, this phrase was hidden in Mi Shen’s heart. Mi Shen said seriously. He had dealt twice with Tang Luo. Once his own retainer was killed, and another time Mi Hou’s retainer was killed. Of course, he held grudges, but he was also clear that both times Tang Luo’s response had been precise.

The first time, Zhang Xinghe had killed his follower first. Tang Luo posted a challenge according to the rules and received no reply. So, he directly posted a battle post and lured all the forces in the resident to go out of the city. He then attacked the resident and left no one alive except Zhang Xinghe and some of the guards involved in the Tianxiang Building incident. There were no women or storerooms violated.

The second time, they were exchanging hostages, trading Gong Zheng’s family for Mi Hou’s follower Li Shao Yuan. After the exchange, Tang Luo suddenly made a move and killed Li Shao Yuan publicly. Mi Shen held all the justifications this time, but Tang Luo just left Gong Zheng behind and left. It was clear that he killed Li Shao Yuan and he also left his own behind. If you have the ability, kill him.

Li Shao Yuan was at the pinnacle of Mortal Realm, and Gong Zheng was at the pinnacle of Metamorphic Realm, which was also a gang leader. Ten Metamorphic Realm teams couldn’t keep him there, and this matter had already been settled.

Even Mi Hou was unable to do anything more about this. Looking at Tang Luo, he seemed like a wild beast that never followed the rules, but every time he adhered strictly to the maximum limit allowed by the rule. Moreover, he was also a reckless man who could put his life at stake at any time.

Such an opponent was more difficult to deal with than Xu Sheng, who was far away. But it seemed that his clan brother hadn’t realized this, which was why he had come to remind him.

However, Mi Shen didn’t know what Tang Luo had done before he came. Now, Mi Chu was still smoldering with anger. How could he listen to this? He shouted angrily, “Tang Luo boy wrote such replies after my challenge letter. It’s a provocation at first! You said he was friends with this artist, right? Perfect’ I’m going to kidnap this artist and force him out. If he doesn’t come out, he is a coward who sits by and watches his friends fall into difficulty! If he dares to show up, I will teach him a harsh lesson and let him know how to face me!”

Looking at Mi Chu’s sudden rage, Mi Shen knew that persuasion would be futile. He shook his head helplessly, took out a secret note from the Wind Media Department from his bosom, and put it on the table. “This is the information about the artist. 1 have another piece of advice. Would Brother Chu wish to listen?”

Tang Luo, having had two encounters, had given him a deep understanding.

But Mi Chu hadn’t dealt with Tang Luo yet, and he was afraid that his clan brother would suffer a loss.

“Brother, please go ahead.” Mi Chu said seriously.

Mi Shen’s face was filled with smiles, he nodded and said, “If you want to lure out Tang Luo and defeat him, you need to do two things: first, act as fast as the wind, and give him no time to react. If the time is elongated, unpredictable variables will emerge. This is a cunning person who has the ability to mobilize all kinds of resources to achieve his goals, remember!”

The two encounters, that had put him in an invincible position, were due to the great trends he had borrowed, not because of how strong he was. Now there was still some time before the battle of Jiang Lin. If Mi Chu rushed to make a move, it would be equivalent to giving Tang Luo time to prepare. At that time, he didn’t know what strange changes would occur. He didn’t want his clan brother to fall into that unknown situation.

“The second point is,” Mi Shen’s eyes shone with cold light, “Once you meet Tang Luo, don’t talk to him. This is a sly person who has deep meanings and traps in each sentence. Once you fall into his verbal trap, the offense will turn into defense, reason will become unreasonable, and you may even fall into an awkward situation. Therefore, once you meet, make the first move. As long as it’s not deadly or maiming, it complies with the rules of the duel, and no one can make any comment.”
