Lord of the Desert

Chapter 76
"The power of the spinning palm is hidden, the more it is used against hard armor and weapons, the better the effect."

Seeing Hong Fan's strange expression, Cui Yutang took the initiative to explain.

"Because of this, no weapons are trained under the Whirlpool Gate."

As he spoke, he looked at Hong She again.

"I heard that brother She Shi's cultivation has reached the peak of the penetrating realm, so he should go up and try."

Hong She wanted to decline, but just happened to catch a glimpse of a round-faced girl holding a red fox in the distance and looking this way, and the lazy face under the beard suddenly changed into a deep look.

"Since my younger brother invites me, I will go up and try."

He straightened his back, tightened his jawline, walked to the iron target and stood still.

The noisy crowd quieted down.

After taking a deep breath, Hong She summoned all his strength until the white air curled up in his palm, and then he blasted towards the belly of the iron.

The palm of his flesh collided with the metal, and the corner of his mouth twitched in pain.

After the move was withdrawn, the color of the place where Xuantie was hit did not change, it was only dented by half an inch.

Disappointed sighs erupted among the crowd who were held up in anticipation.

"Oh, sure enough, I just said that today's condition is not good..."

Hong She suppressed the dull pain, sighed like this, and slipped back to Hong Fan's side as if fleeing.

"Encouraged" by the "second master" of the Hong family's trip, seven or eight more people went up to try their moves.

When they all came down, the human target had already been painted into faces.

Seeing that the heat was about the same, Li Shenji gave his younger brother a wink, and the latter nodded and strode out.

The atmosphere exploded again.

"Li Xutuo is here."

"He was only a young man, and he has already cultivated the Nine Paths."

"In Jinhai City, only the Li Family's Invisible Qi Sword can compete with the Whirlpool Gate's Whirlpool Palm..."

There was a lot of discussion, but Li Xutuo remained unmoved, and stood still three meters away from the iron target.

After closing his eyes for three breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes and stabbed out the sword finger of his left hand.

The qi sword, which is difficult to distinguish with the human eye, pierced through the air in an instant, and cut off the four fingers of the target's right hand amidst the clanging of metal and iron.

There was a louder applause than when Gao Junxia broke his wrist.

A single finger is far less powerful than an iron wrist, but if four of them are cut off with one sword, the destructive power may be greater than that.

"Sure enough, the leader should be one of them."

Cui Yutang praised.

"It's not surprising."

Hong She nodded helplessly.

"Classic four-level martial arts, only the whirlpool door and the Li family's killing methods in Jinhai City have entered the second level."

"Especially the invisible qi sword, which can realize the release of true qi in the penetrating state, and has a reputation both inside and outside Liangzhou."

"Speaking of which, our Hong family hasn't won the meeting for several years, and it's also because Yanliu kungfu is too balanced."

Although his cousin admitted that he was not as good as him, Hong Ping, who participated in the hunting meeting for the first time, was obviously unwilling.

"Why doesn't my elder brother go up? If he makes a move, he must cut off more than a few fingers!"

Hong Ping frowned, looking at Hong Sheng in the distance.

"Young Master Sheng is not suitable to participate."

Cui Yutang explained.

"Although Wenbi didn't explicitly limit his cultivation, Hunranjing didn't count it by default."

"After all, the eldest son of the Li family who set up the competition is not as good as Mr. Sheng."

Hong Ping was speechless, but his eyes looked towards Hong Fan intentionally or unintentionally.

The latter looked at the snow field from a distance and the crowd up close, and was very comfortable in silence.

Finally, Hong Ping couldn't take it anymore after being forced to listen to too much praise about the Whirling Palm and the Invisible Qi Sword.

"Hong, Hong Fan..."

He habitually wanted to call his brother-in-law by his name, but felt that he was not respectful enough after saying it, so that he became anxious.

"Could it be that you are inferior to those two people as Xingjun, why don't you go up and try?"

Hong Fan just smiled lightly.

"A false name is useless, it only increases the burden."

"It's already enough for me to get Sand World for nothing, so why bother myself?"

Hearing what he said, several people around had their own reactions.

On the surface, Cui Yutang agreed, but in his heart he felt that Hong Fan retreated despite the difficulties.

Big Tang, who was brainwashed by Aunt Liu all day long, believed it very much, and felt that his young master was a gentleman.

Most of the competition passed quickly.

During the period, Cui Yutang went up to join in the fun, and broke the eyebrow arch of the target with a punch.

On the other hand, Hong She used the pretext of "introducing seniors to my cousin" and dragged Hong Ping to Chi Yiyue's side.

At this time, a neighing like a tiger and a horse came from outside the arena, suppressing the noise.

But the lottery promised by Li Shenji finally arrived.

The crowd parted, and a trembling camel ox was pulling an iron cage, in which a magnificent beast was imprisoned.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the grass field was hotter than ever.

This strange beast has a horse-shaped black tail and tiger-like black and yellow stripes. It obviously looks underage, but its shoulder height has reached 1.6 meters.

"Okay, it turns out that the lottery that Mr. Li was talking about was actually a scorched-tailed tiger?!"

Cui Yutang was surprised.

"This tiger-eating beast looks like it will grow in half a year. The market price is at least 500 taels of silver."

"It's no wonder he competes exclusively with iron targets. This is because he wants to keep the fat and water out of the field."

He shook his head with a rare look of regret.

In the distance, Gao Junxia and Li Xutuo, who are expected to win the first prize, are even more short of breath, obviously worrying about gains and losses.

"Four, 500 taels of silver, to buy such a horse?"

Hong Fan glanced over the formidable sharp teeth of the tiger-eating beast, and asked.

"Second Young Master, don't think it's worthless."

Cui Yutang replied.

"The tiger-eating beast has strong stamina. When it grows up, its speed is [-]% faster than that of ordinary horses. Its sharp teeth can even assist its master in fighting."

"With such a divine horse, how can it more than double its combat power when fighting on the battlefield?"

Hong Fan nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he let out a helpless sigh, took off the leather jacket that had covered him all over the place, and handed it to Mr. Tang who was accompanying him.

"Master, what is this?"

Big Tang saw the young master rolled up his sleeves, exposing his muscular forearm, scratching his hair and asking.

"Oh, I'm going to try the black iron target."

Hong Fan acted as if nothing had happened.

"Ah, young master, didn't you just say 'the name bears the burden'?"

Big Tang obviously didn't have the EQ of Young Master Cui, so he asked in a daze.

"Old Tang, a gentleman is not a weapon, and strategies change with the times."

Hong Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied solemnly.

"Fame is useless, but honor is different."

"But my cousin just said that my Hong family has not won the leader for many years; as a junior, how can I be stingy with my sword?"

"As for the horse, it's just a head."

A few words are plain but firm, like a sharp sword, cut into the heart of the illiterate Tang Daguo.

The latter embraced the leather jacket, opened his mouth and watched the young master walk out of the queue, only feeling that the other party's realm was far-reaching and unfathomable.

When Hong Fan walked towards the iron target in his single clothes, the noise made up of hundreds of people dimmed unconsciously—everyone knew the identity of this overly handsome man.

"Yo, is this a deliberate finale appearance?"

Zheng Fuqu raised her chin and said, but her voice was subconsciously lowered.

"It seems that someone is still not convinced."

"Maybe I just want to try my hand."

Hong Sheng speculated.

"Second brother's martial arts cultivation base is three or four ways away from Jun Xia and Xu Tuo. Yan Liu Gong is not good at dealing with dead objects, so it may be difficult."

"Perhaps it depends on Sand World?"

Gao Junxia glanced at the tiger eating beast in the iron cage, pretending to be calm and asking questions.

"Junxia doesn't know something. In the hands of Lord Jing Sha, Sha Shijie has always been famous for its grandeur and dominance, but it is only mediocre in terms of attacking and breaking through."

Li Shenji replied.

Everyone could hear what he meant, since the shocking Shagong who shocked Jinhai was not good enough, Hong Fan was even more so.
