Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 145 Xu Mao Visits
Demon Slayer City Mansion Hall

Xu Qinglian looked at the scroll with fiery eyes but also a little frightened.

"This……"

She was shocked by Wu Lingman's move. Even though she knew it was all for the young master's favor, she didn't dare to accept it for a moment.

Influenced by their family since childhood, the preciousness of the inheritance is engraved in the souls of these people!

"Take it!"

Fang Chen spoke and nodded calmly. He also had the inheritance of the Code of Desire, but it was difficult to explain where it came from. Even though he knew Xu Qinglian would not ask any questions, he was not going to give it out. It was better to be cautious!
Human nature cannot stand the test. Anyway, he is not planning to ask Xu Qinglian to help him do anything big, so it is better to avoid those messy things!

They have a good relationship now.

Now Haoran Palace treats him well, but he cannot go gambling, lest he ruin a good hand.

So this time, he would rather owe a small favor to the Wu family and ask for a share of the inheritance.

He considered himself a man of his word. Even though Xu Qinglian had never mentioned the inheritance in front of him again, he was not going to pretend to be confused about what he had promised.

It's just a fourth-level inheritance, which is extremely precious to Xu Qinglian, but it's nothing to him. As long as the Wu family is a little smart, they will not take this as a favor.

Wu Lingman naturally thought so too. She was qualified to dispose of this thing, so she might as well take it out and sell it to Fang Chen. As for more delusions, she was not stupid and would not bring shame upon herself.

"This... Thank you, Sister Wu!" Xu Qinglian calmed herself down, reached out to take the scroll, put it in her sleeve and held it tightly.

"Well, there's no need for us to be polite to each other. If you don't understand something, you can come and ask grandma."

Wu Lingman said with a smile, and Granny Yinhua nodded.

They haven't established a stable relationship with Fang Chen yet, so they naturally won't leave so easily. Fang Chen doesn't care, so let them go!

Anyway, he is just a cultivator of the fifth level of self-examination. Considering his spiritual realm, the cultivator of self-examination is the least threatening.

After the two Wu family members left, Xu Qinglian suddenly threw herself into Fang Chen's arms, her eyes misty as she whispered, "Thank you, young master!"

"Well, cough!"

Fang Chen noticed that the girl was twisting and turning on him and coughed awkwardly.

Then, looking at her rippling eyes, his heart quietly became hot, and he picked her up and walked towards the inner room.

The thunder in the sky ignites the fire on the earth, and a war is about to break out!
……

Evening
Fang Chen sat at the table, looking down at a letter in his hand. Next to him were Shangguan Hong and Li Muzai.

"Well, let's take a look!"

After a while, Fang Chen threw the letter to the two of them. Shangguan Hong and the other man looked more and more solemn as they read the letter. In the end, their faces were overcast and as gloomy as water.

"Well, tell us all!" Fang Chen said calmly after they finished reading.

"This...what does Xu Mao mean?"

Shangguan Hong frowned, this neighbor is definitely not a good person!
"What do you mean? I think it's probably not a good intention!" Fang Chen sneered.

"Mr. Li, I heard that you have been in Xuzhou for quite some time. Tell me what you think of Xu Mao!"

Li Muzai pondered for a moment and then said, "I did wander around Liuzhou and Xuzhou before, but since Xu Mao swept through Xuzhou, I have rarely been there."

"Ah, the most impressive thing about this person is naturally his number one ranking on the Zongheng Ranking!"

"Of course, I am definitely not as good as the city lord!" He bowed and complimented.

"Besides that, this person seems to hate aristocratic sects!"

"Oh? What do you say?"

Fang Chen's eyes flashed with a strange look and he asked curiously.

Shangguan Hong was also surprised and asked, "No way? Didn't he subdue many people from aristocratic families and sects?"

Li Muzai smiled disdainfully: "It's just to gain a good reputation. Think about it, which family that defected to the Yellow Turban Army did not decline rapidly?"

"He is just trying to cut the meat with a blunt knife without bloodshed!"

"He also used the people from these aristocratic families to fight for him. In just thirty years, he was able to occupy half of Xuzhou. He couldn't have done it without drinking their blood!"

Fang Chen thought thoughtfully, if this was true, then Xu Mao was truly terrifying. He was trying to squeeze out every last bit of value from the aristocratic sect!
"Of course, these are just my family's opinions. Lord City Lord, just listen to them. I can't guarantee whether there is any false information in them." Li Muzai bowed and apologized.

"It's okay. I just wanted to ask for your opinion." Fang Chen waved his hand and said seriously.

"Well, Xu Mao seems to be quite protective of his reputation. Anyway, all the dirty work is done by Wu You." Li Mucha continued.

"Wu You?"

"The city lord doesn't know that Wu You is Xu Mao's childhood friend from the same village and is deeply trusted by him! This man is insidious and cunning. Unlike Xu Mao, he targets the aristocratic families openly." Li Muzai explained.

He smiled on his dry old face: "The people from the aristocratic families in the Yellow Turban Army hate Wu You like crazy, but they can't do anything about it. Xu Mao is quite protective of his fellow countrymen!"

"If Xu Mao were to leave him, Wu You would probably be chopped into pieces!"

Fang Chen understood in his mind and had a general impression of Xu Mao. He would know tomorrow whether it was really as Li Muzai said.

"How should we respond to Xu Mao's letter of obeisance to the city lord? What if he really comes with malicious intent?"

Li Muzai said with some worry that the several fifth-order formations of the Demon-Slaying City could not stop Xu Mao!

He and Fang Chen are now in the same boat, and he is also hoping to gain something with Fang Chen in the Xiaoyan ruins. Naturally, he does not want this ship to capsize now.

"Oh, don't worry. If an enemy comes, I will fight him. If a flood comes, I will block it with earth. I have my own plan!"

Seeing Fang Chen's indifferent look, although Li Muzai didn't know where his confidence came from, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Such a genius would surely not speak nonsense, right?

Shangguan Hong looked at him in surprise. Could it be that the old man had left a trump card for this kid?
But that's not right. What kind of person is Xu Mao? Even if Li Guiyuan comes in person, he won't be able to defeat him in one round, right?

Fang Chen smiled without any intention of explaining. A faint light flashed above the roof.

……

next day
The sky is clear, the sun is high in the sky, and there are white clouds, which looks like a powerful force!

Suddenly, a loud roar as loud as thunder rang out in the sky above the Demon-Slaying City.

"Hahaha! Xu Maote from the Yellow Turban Army is here to visit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vigorous and powerful figure appeared in front of everyone, with flying hair and beard, a broad face and a thick back, showing his heroic demeanor.

"Xu Mao?"

"..."

Everyone in the Demon-Slaying City was startled and looked at the figure hanging in the air with shock.

"Oh no! Why is he here suddenly?"

Wu Lingman said anxiously, if this person has bad intentions, Fang Chen can't stop him now!
"Oh! Relax first, he may not mean any harm!" sighed Grandma Yinhua.

Wu Lingman sighed helplessly. She could only deceive herself. Haoran Palace knew very well what kind of person Xu Mao was.

overbearing!

Unquestionable dominance!
This person is somewhat similar to King Dingtian when he was young, but the latter has become much more restrained since he broke through Juntian and has become more low-key in recent years.

Unlike King Ding Tian, ​​Xu Mao was a bit hypocritical, but that was nothing. As long as his character was not so bad that people hated him, no one would care too much. In the martial arts world, strength was respected. As long as he could keep moving forward, he would still deserve the title of a peerless hero.

Fang Chen was obviously a very arrogant person. She didn't believe that there would be no conflict between the two of them!

However, they were really powerless to do anything about this matter, and Fang Chen had to get through this hurdle on his own.

"Hahaha! Fang Chen is here to welcome Senior Xu!"

A clear laugh came from the City Lord's Mansion, followed by a huge illusory image of the Yuanshen that flew out through the wall. It expanded to a size of a thousand feet and stared at Xu Mao from a distance.

"Touching the soul of reality?"

Xu Mao was surprised, and he also felt the heart of rock from it, which made him even more unbelievable.

It is difficult to cultivate one’s mind!

This level treats all warriors equally. No matter how talented you are, you still have to stay at this level!
Xu Mao was still too young, and he could never safely get through the stage of refining his mind. Otherwise, with his accumulation, he would have broken through to the Soul Condensation Realm long ago.

But now he actually saw the heart he had always dreamed of in the eighteen-year-old boy. Quietly, he paid more attention to Fang Chen, and there was even a trace of jealousy in his heart that he was unwilling to admit.

"Good! You are worthy of being the number one genius of the time!" Xu Mao laughed loudly, with no sign of abnormality on his face.

"Senior Xu, you are too kind. I am also very distressed by what Master Xuanji said! I am just a little bit better than the seniors. How can I deserve such a title?"

When the spiritual Dharmakāya spoke, there was no sound between heaven and earth, but the words were transmitted directly to everyone's hearts.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Mao's smile suddenly froze.

"not good!"

Wu Lingman exclaimed in her heart, thinking to herself that this was not good. Xu Mao was very concerned about his reputation, and what he said just now was just a courtesy. Why did Fang Chen really accept it?
Fang Chen in the City Lord's Mansion had a stern expression. He knew of course that Xu Mao was just being polite, but what would happen if he accepted it?
Xu Mao said he was visiting, but he did not enter through the city gate. Instead, he stood directly above their heads. It was obvious that he was an unwelcome guest and wanted to give them a warning!
If that’s the case, why should Fang Chen continue to indulge him?
"Great! Great! He is truly a young hero! We are indeed old!"

A voice was heard, and Xu Mao had regained his composure, but he could no longer smile, and his face became calm.

"Why did Senior Xu come to my Demon-Slaying City?" Fang Chen slowly rose from the mansion, his white robe fluttering, and asked with his hands behind his back.

Xu Mao's face twitched. This kid is more arrogant than me. It seems like we are not prepared to welcome him into the city!

Although he did have bad intentions in this trip.

"hehe!"

Xu Mao laughed dryly: "Nephew Fang is afraid that he can't make the decision, where is the master?"

"My master has been away for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see him for a while. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I can still say a few words about all the matters in the Demon-Slaying City." Fang Chen said lightly.

Xu Mao looked down and said, "My dear nephew, this place may not be very convenient!"

"Oh? Senior, is there anything else you want to say that is shameful? If that's the case, then there's no need to say anything more. There is nothing I can't tell anyone about the Demon Slaying City!"

Fang Chen waved his hand and refused sternly.

He had no intention of bringing Xu Mao into the city. Naturally, he already knew that he was a bad guest. What if the negotiations failed and Xu Mao went crazy in the city?
The fifth-level formation cannot withstand the fighting power of the soul. By then, all the Taoist formations in the city will be destroyed. This is all money!

Fang Chen was too embarrassed to ask Yan Yuexin for a share anyway, so as for Old Man Li to come forward? He still had some face!

It’s better to eat less soft rice!
He was afraid that one day this old man would go out and be killed by an unknown mistress who turned love into hate!

Xu Mao froze for a moment, as if he had not expected Fang Chen to speak like that. A cold light rose in his eyes. This kid didn't take him seriously at all!

Who gave him the confidence to use this shabby formation in this city?
When Wu Lingman and others saw the two of them confronting each other right from the start, they were even more worried for Fang Chen.

"Haha! Okay! Since my dear nephew is so straightforward, I will be more direct!"

After taking a deep breath, Xu Mao suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile.

The more he acted like this, the more alert Fang Chen became. This proved that Xu Mao had big plans for this trip!

Fang Chen stretched out his palm, signaling him to speak frankly.

"I came here to form an alliance with the Demon-Slaying City so that we can help each other in attack and defense in the future!" Xu Mao said with a smile.

"presumably……"

"No need!"

Fang Chen's straightforward words suddenly interrupted him. Xu Mao widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that he would refuse so easily.

"Wha...what?"

How powerful are my Yellow Turban Army and my Xu Mao? It is a great gift for me to take the initiative to come to you and form an alliance. How dare you refuse?

"Say it again?" Xu Mao frowned and said in a deep voice.

Fang Chen took a deep breath and said loudly: "I said there is no need to form an alliance. If this is the case, you should go back quickly!"

"you!"

Xu Mao's face suddenly darkened, and dark clouds suddenly gathered behind him, with rumbling thunder resounding through the sky.

"Do you know what you are saying?"

Fang Chen curled his lips. Do you think I'm stupid? What kind of alliance is this? I think you just want to find a thug. In the end, you will definitely treat Demon Slaying City the same as those aristocratic sects.

And if you think more deeply, Xu Mao might want to use this incident to legitimately interfere in the affairs of the Demon-Slaying City, especially the tickets!

He actually dared to have a hand on his vitals, this guy has a black heart!

Fang Chen naturally wouldn't give him a good look.

Xu Mao's heart was even more gloomy at this time. What Fang Chen had predicted was actually very similar to what he had in mind. However, he thought that since he had condescended to come and meet a junior like him in person, this guy would definitely give him some face.

He had appeared directly above the Demon-Slaying City just to demonstrate, and then he took out the gift prepared by Wu You and gave Fang Chen some benefits. With the combination of kindness and force, he thought this matter would succeed!
How dare the little Fang Chen Li Guiyuan refuse him?

He is not like others. He does not have much respect for the Xuanyang Sect. Besides, it is still unclear whether they will help them!
But I didn't expect...

Xu Mao's eyes were dark and unclear, with a hint of doubt. Does this kid really think he is so important?
"Good, good, good! The number one genius of the past and present is indeed extraordinary!" Xu Mao said gritting his teeth.

Fang Chen rolled his eyes, feeling extremely disappointed. He found that this so-called peerless hero was quite hesitant.

"Well, thank you for the compliment, senior. Can you please go back if you are okay?"

After Fang Chen finished speaking, he was ready to turn around and leave, completely ignoring Xu Mao's murderous look.

"This……"

Wu Lingman and the "Five Friends of Meishan" were even more worried. The city lord was so unwise. He should at least give Xu Mao some face and deal with him perfunctorily!

The "Five Friends of Meishan" felt bitter in their hearts and slowly stood up and prepared to move. This situation was exactly the clause stated in the Juntian Oath: "If foreign enemies invade, fight to the death."

They thought that with Fang Chen's authority, no one would dare to attack the Demon-Slaying City for the time being, but they didn't expect to meet Xu Mao!
"Good boy!"

Xu Mao laughed in anger, his eyes dark as he said, "If that's the case, then let's settle the matter of Wang Wen, shall we?"

"My brother died in your territory for no apparent reason. Even the Xuanyang Sect must give me an explanation!"

Fang Chen was speechless. Do you really have to find an excuse?
Xu Mao must have risen from obscurity and had been in the business world for too long, so he might be overly sensitive or even have low self-esteem.

He looks fearless, but in fact he sticks to the rules and has many concerns. From Fang Chen's perspective, he is afraid of everything!
No wonder I haven’t been able to break through the barrier of mind refining for so many years!
