"Because I have a date with my sweetheart tonight, I can't drink too much. But it seems that my date is destined to be canceled."
Shaking his head regretfully, Tian Boguang's gaze gradually turned cold, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.
"Oh? That's a real shame!"
Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he made it in time; if it had been any later, another woman would have been violated.
"Could I ask what kind of date it is? Of course, if you can't tell me, then never mind."
Wang Hao was genuinely curious about Tian Boguang's modus operandi, after all, this guy was the only womanizer in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer who had his face revealed!
It's fair to say he's infamous throughout the martial arts world; anyone in the martial arts community would know his notorious reputation. Calling him infamous is no exaggeration.
Countless righteous heroes wanted to take his life and make a name for themselves. If Tian Boguang hadn't been quite skilled and hadn't possessed exceptional lightness skills, he would have been killed long ago.
"..."
Hearing this familiar question, Tian Boguang was speechless, then laughed.
"You're such an interesting person!"
He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that there were hardly any people in the restaurant, Tian Boguang boldly said, "There's nothing I can't say. I've taken a fancy to the mistress of the Golden Sword Manor outside the city. My plan is to forcibly take her away and bring her to Ox Pen Mountain, ten miles away."
Tian was not a brute who would force himself on a beautiful woman. He would make an agreement with her, giving her seven chances to escape Ox Pen Mountain. If she Ox Pen Mountain within seven chances, Tian would keep his promise and let her go. If she could not escape, she would stay with Tian for the night.
Just as Marquis Wu Zhuge captured Meng Huo seven times in ancient times, I, Tian, have now captured a beauty seven times—quite a tale indeed! I've even planned out the steps for our journey together, starting with smelling fragrances and appreciating jade..."
Tian Boguang became more and more engrossed in his speech, even displaying a look of intoxication, or perhaps lewdness, on his face.
When Wang Hao mentioned the story of Marquis Wu Zhuge capturing Meng Huo seven times, his lips twitched repeatedly. If Zhuge Liang knew that you were comparing such trivial matters with his glorious achievements, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin.
Just as Tian Boguang was halfway through his sentence, Wang Hao suddenly interrupted, "Wait, Brother Tian, could you tell me if there's a water source near Ox Pen Mountain? How long would it take to make seven round trips?"
Tian Boguang was very unhappy that Wang Hao had interrupted his wonderful reverie, but considering that Wang Hao was the first person willing to listen to his criminal ideas, he still answered even though he didn't know why the other party would ask that strange question.
"No, Ox Pen Mountain is surrounded by barren mountains for miles around, with no streams or water sources. It would take about a day to make the round trip seven times."
"Is the mistress of the Golden Sword Manor also a Xiantian Grandmaster?" Wang Hao asked again.
"Of course he couldn't be Xiantian Grandmaster, otherwise, how could I, Tian, dare to provoke him?"
Tian Boguang became even more dissatisfied, feeling that this guy was insulting his intelligence.
Xiantian Grandmaster are almost extinct in the martial arts world today, so where would so many Xiantian Grandmaster from?
If it were a true Xiantian Grandmaster, he wouldn't dare to make a move even if he had a hundred lives.
"Hiss! You're not Xiantian Grandmaster, you've been hiking all day and haven't even had a bath yet, and you still want to indulge in a jade-scenting ritual? Brother Tian, you have some serious tastes!"
As if he had seen something terrifying, Wang Hao leaned back and looked at Tian Boguang in disbelief.
Don't assume that all beautiful women's feet smell good; after running on mountain roads all day in this sweltering heat, they can still be overwhelmingly smelly.
For example, when Wang Hao ran out of the mountains and found a pool to bathe, the smell of his shoes and socks made Little Wangcai collapse to the ground and convulse.
These days, only Xiantian Grandmaster have mastered the Innate Realm can refine their bodies and develop them to a certain degree, thus reversing the body's natural instinct to secrete sweat and even developing a natural body fragrance.
Therefore, Tian Boguang's so-called "smelling the fragrance and appreciating the jade" is complete nonsense, or rather, extremely extreme.
"..."
Tian Boguang's face twitched violently, even appearing somewhat distorted. It took him a long time to calm his agitated emotions. He downed a large glass of wine, glared fiercely at Wang Hao, and said hatefully, "Brother Wang, don't you know that telling the truth in this day and age will get you beaten up?"
He's in a really bad mood right now!
What was originally a romantic and beautiful thing immediately became incredibly vulgar, and even a little disgusting, after Wang Hao said it like that.
He was incredibly frustrated!
Wang Hao picked up the wine pot and refilled Tian Boguang's wine cup, saying apologetically, "It was just a joke, Brother Tian, please don't be angry. I have another question I'd like to ask you."
It is said that a notorious womanizer has emerged in the north in the past two years, committing at least thirty crimes in just three years. The women who have been violated have all met tragic ends, either being drowned in pig cages or hanging themselves. I wonder what Brother Tian thinks of this kind of behavior?
Wang Hao continued to chuckle, but his smile grew increasingly cold, and a murderous intent also arose within it.
"Smack!"
"Clang!"
"I knew you came here specifically for me, so make your move!"
Tian Boguang slammed his wine glass down on the table, stood up abruptly, drew his sword and pointed it directly at Wang Hao, his phoenix eyes flashing with cold light.
" Two Armies Facing Off!"
Wang Hao, who was also prepared, drew his spare longsword from the table and slashed out with a single move, like Two Armies Facing Off off.
"Clang!"
Tian Boguang swung his sword to meet the attack, but his expression suddenly changed, and his entire body was uncontrollably sent flying by the force of the long sword.
The powerful force carried Tian Boguang out of the restaurant through the window. Fortunately, Tian Boguang was most skilled in light-body techniques, so he regained his balance with just a spin and gracefully landed on the street.
Wang Hao followed suit, jumping out of the window and landing on the street. He unleashed his Lightning Straight-Line Step technique and charged towards Tian Boguang, and the two immediately engaged in battle.
It was late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the street, so it did not cause any disturbance.
This isn't Huaxia on Earth, where people would rush to watch no matter how dangerous something was.
In this setting with a slightly fantastical element of martial arts, the common people have their own ways of protecting themselves. Those who hear fighting sounds in the street have already closed their windows and doors, and some even tremble and hide under their beds, without daring to peek in.
After all, if someone were killed by those martial arts heroes these days, they would have died in vain, and no one would seek justice for them, so naturally no one dared to go and watch the spectacle.
Wang Hao, wielding the Mysterious Water Sword Transcendent Mastery the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle a level of divine mastery, engaging Tian Boguang in a rapid-fire battle. The flashing blades almost completely enveloped the two men's figures.
That's right, the spare longsword in Wang Hao's hand was the Mysterious Water Sword that Zhao Dachui had specially brought before he left. It was the divine sword that Zhao Fengxue had obtained from Fu Lin Mystic Water Hall.
However, after Wang Hao broke through the formation for the second time and obtained the even stronger divine sword, the Mysterious Water Sword was casually tossed to his son Zhao Dachui by Zhao Fengxue. In the end, Zhao Dachui gave the divine sword to Wang Hao.
After all, Zhao Dachui already had the two swords that his father had previously given away, so there was no point in adding another Mysterious Water Sword.
Furthermore, since Wang Hao was out to avoid the limelight and it was not advisable to reveal his identity, and the Shameless Greatsword was too unconventional and would easily be noticed, it was necessary to bring a spare divine sword.
Of course, this Mysterious Water Sword has also been modified.
According to Zhao Dachui, it was basically a complete overhaul. In reality, he just used a file to remove the characters "Xuan Shui" from the sword and polished the luxurious hilt as well.
Even if Fu Lin were to meet him in person, he probably wouldn't recognize this as his precious sword, so Wang Hao could use it with peace of mind.
Moreover, because the Mysterious Water Sword only weighs seven jin (approximately 3.5 kg), which is much lighter than the Shameless Greatsword, it actually increased his sword speed, allowing him to barely keep up with Tian Boguang's attacks.
Of course, it was only a barely acceptable result!
Tian Boguang, as expected of an important supporting character in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer, wielded the Wild Wind Fast Saber with extreme speed, seemingly capable of stirring up a whirlwind, with the blade flashing continuously.
Helpless, Wang Hao could only adopt a defensive posture and be ready to counterattack at any time.
Wang Hao was struggling to hold on, but little did he know that Tian Boguang on the other side was suffering even more.
He had already unleashed his ultimate move, but the guy in front of him was like a rock, impossible to break through.
Moreover, the sword in his hand was no ordinary weapon, no less powerful than his longsword, and could not be cut through, making him even more difficult to deal with.
"I'm not fighting you anymore, I'm leaving!"
Having exhausted nearly half of his internal energy and realizing that he had no chance of defeating Wang Hao, Tian Boguang stopped forcing the issue. He forced Wang Hao away with a single move, and then disappeared into the dark Nightfall in a flash.
"This thing is really inconvenient to use!"
Wang Hao watched Tian Boguang's figure disappear, then looked down at the Mysterious Water Sword in his hand and sighed helplessly.
The Ten Stances of Bloody Battle Styles are battlefield martial arts, best suited for use with heavy weapons, such as the Shameless Greatsword weighing over a hundred pounds.
If he had just wielded the Shameless Greatsword, even if he still couldn't defeat Tian Boguang, he wouldn't have been able to retreat so easily.
The problem is that Baoding Prefecture is too close to the capital. If we were to show our Shameless Greatsword here, we might be hunted down the next day. So we can only make do with it for now.
Of course, this is mainly because he only broke through to the highest level of Transcendent Mastery of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle yesterday. Although he can mobilize Sisi trace of the power of True Spirit Sword Intent, he is not very proficient and the probability of triggering it is too low.
I fought Tian Boguang for a while but couldn't trigger anything, otherwise I would have already killed him with my sword.
" Wangcai, lead the way!"
Wang Hao waved to Little Wangcai, who was squatting by the roadside watching the show with his tongue sticking out, signaling the little guy to come and do some work.
The little guy was also very clever. He happily ran over on his short legs, sniffed around, and after thoroughly memorizing Tian Boguang's scent, he ran off in one direction, and Wang Hao quickly followed.
This is also the source of Wang Hao's confidence in letting Tian Boguang leave!
If the scent is left within ten days and is not covered by rain, it will not escape Little Wangcai's sense of smell.
A husky that Awakening its Bloodline Divine Ability is just that awesome!
