Black Tiger City

"Thank you, my lord, for sparing our lives."

Although Yao Feng was only a youth, Wang Dahu did not dare act rashly at all. The old man on the carriage was watching them, and he had no doubt that if he showed even the slightest ill intent, the old man would take his life in an instant. After all, the old man had pinned both brothers to the ground with nothing but his aura.

"My lord, that martial arts school is called Tianwu Martial Arts School. They've done quite a few shady things in secret. I was greedy for a bargain and sent my little brother there, but I never expected the school to be so filthy. Its master, Li Jiang, is a Nine Star Dou Ling, one of the few in all of Black Tiger City. That's why no one dares provoke Tianwu Martial Arts School."

"His surname is Li? What does he have to do with the Heavenly Eagle Clan?"

Yao Feng remembered that Li Xie, whom he had met last time, was from the Heavenly Eagle Clan and seemed to hold quite a high position. The surname Li was not common. Could this martial arts school master, Li Jiang, also be a member of the Heavenly Eagle Clan?

"The Heavenly Eagle Clan? My lord, I've never heard of any Heavenly Eagle Clan!"

Wang Dahu scratched his head and spoke in confusion.

"Forget it. Lead the way. I happen to want to see what Li Jiang is capable of."

Yao Feng waved a hand behind him and spoke with an air of profundity, though he inwardly sighed. It seems I'll have to meet this Li Jiang if I want to complete the system's mission.

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Seemingly understanding Yao Feng's meaning, Wang Dahu was overjoyed. He pressed down Wang Erhu's head and bowed deeply in thanks.

"Alright, lead the way."

Yao Feng waved his hand and climbed back into the carriage.

A strange look flashed through Zhou Tong's eyes. Young Master was kind-hearted, but in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, that would make him suffer easily. It seemed he would need to have a talk with Young Master when the chance arose.

If Yao Feng had known Zhou Tong was thinking this, he would have been utterly embarrassed. If not for the system mission, he could not be bothered to seek out Li Jiang. At most, he would have given Wang Dahu and the others some gold coins. The problem was that he was practically penniless now. Not only that, he still owed Yao Ling that girl twenty thousand gold coins, and Zhou Tong had even paid for this carriage. Thinking of this, Yao Feng leaned against the carriage window in frustration and stared blankly at the scenery outside.

Another hour passed before a somewhat dilapidated city appeared ahead. Through the carriage window, Yao Feng could clearly see the three large words "Black Tiger City" hanging above the city gate. The gate itself was imposing, but compared to Yaotian City, it was far inferior.

"My lord, we're about to enter Black Tiger City."

Wang Dahu's voice came from outside the carriage. Yao Feng gave a soft acknowledgment and lowered the curtain. The familiar mechanical voice had sounded in his mind again.

"Ding. Detected that the host is in Black Tiger City. Would you like to sign in?"

"Sign in!"

"Ding. Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Proficient Grade Advanced Dou Technique, Black Fiend Tiger Formation."

After roughly skimming through the Black Fiend Tiger Formation, Yao Feng's heart sank considerably. This Dou Technique could be considered a joint combat technique. Only people whose minds were in sync could cultivate and unleash its true power together. But to Yao Feng, it was neither here nor there. He was not about to seek out someone who shared his thoughts just to cultivate a mere Proficient Grade Advanced technique.

"My lord, shall I take you to my home to rest for a while first, then head to Tianwu Martial Arts School?"

"Right, doesn't Wang Dahu have two brothers? Could it be fate? I need to plan this out carefully!"

Hearing Wang Dahu's voice, an idea suddenly lit up in Yao Feng's mind. However, he would still have to see how they performed next.

"Move! Move! Tianwu Martial Arts School is passing through! All irrelevant people, get out of the way!"

The moment they entered the city gates, a group of riders came galloping recklessly down the street, charging through the crowd. Pedestrians could not dodge in time and were knocked sprawling in all directions.

"Damn Tianwu Martial Arts School, they're far too arrogant! Why doesn't the City Lord do something about them?"

"Exactly! What if they hurt someone, galloping through the main road like that?"

"Sigh, everyone, say less. Tianwu Martial Arts School is not something we can stand against. Don't bring trouble upon yourselves!"

"Move aside up ahead!"

The shouts drew closer and closer. Suddenly, a horsewhip whistled through the air and lashed fiercely at Yao Feng's carriage.

Zhou Tong's expression turned cold, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted. A young rider in red armor was flung directly from his horse and crashed to the ground face-first.

"Surround them!"

The young man on the ground roared, and more than a dozen mounted youths immediately encircled the carriage tightly. Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu were among them.

"Well, well, I thought it was someone important. Aren't these Wang Xiaohu's two useless older brothers? What, have you scraped together the money?"

The young man pushed through the crowd. Upon seeing the Wang brothers, a thick sneer appeared on his face.

"Li He, don't be so arrogant. We came back this time to demand an explanation from you."

"Oh? So you've found someone powerful to rely on, and that's where all this confidence comes from? Don't tell me it's the person inside the carriage?"

Li He and the surrounding youths burst into laughter, all looking at Wang Dahu with mocking expressions.

"Why are there always these brain-dead villain types wherever I go?"

Yao Feng shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to step out of the carriage, Wang Dahu suddenly lunged at Li He. Faint black light glimmered over his clenched fist, clearly showing that he had used a Dou Technique.

Caught off guard, Li He took Wang Dahu's punch squarely in the face. A bloodstained tooth flew out.

Li He stared at Wang Dahu with bloodshot eyes and shouted through his missing tooth, "You dare hit me? Get him! Beat the hell out of him!"

Wang Dahu glared at the people around him, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. Though Wang Erhu was not particularly clever, he immediately stood back-to-back with Wang Dahu and glared viciously at the crowd.

Though Wang Dahu looked big and burly, he was not stupid. He had never seen the old man on the carriage make a move, but merely his aura had completely suppressed him. That old man's strength was certainly far beyond that of a Da Dou Shi, perhaps even stronger than a Dou Ling.

Everyone present was a student of Tianwu Martial Arts School, and the strongest among them had only just broken through to Dou Shi. Naturally, Wang Dahu was not afraid of them. The reason he chose to strike now was to bind Yao Feng to his side. As long as Yao Feng and the others intervened, Tianwu Martial Arts School would definitely be unable to win. Then he could rescue his little brother as well.

Although doing this might provoke Yao Feng's displeasure, Wang Dahu clearly did not want to miss such a perfect opportunity. Thus, he chose to act directly.

Zhou Tong naturally saw through Wang Dahu's scheme, but in his eyes, this sort of fight was no different from children playing house. He only needed to follow Yao Feng's arrangements; there was nothing else for him to worry about.

Yao Feng was naturally no fool. Wang Dahu's intentions were so obvious that if he still could not see through them, he might as well smash his head into a block of tofu instead of roaming the continent.

Though he was somewhat displeased by Wang Dahu's actions, Yao Feng could understand them. Still, he needed to teach him a lesson.
