Chapter 299 Very Smart
In the bustling city, Zhang Yang just landed and found a few strands of bright red hair falling in front of him. He accidentally cut them off. This was not because he felt sorry for the hair, but because he realized that this was an infringement on his integrity.
Zhang Yang realized that Zhang Liang posed a threat to him, so he stopped thinking about strategy and decided to suppress him directly with force. Zhang Liang saw that Hundun had no wisdom, so he calmly watched and waited for Hundun's action.
Hun Dun did not notice Zhang Liang's plan, and just rushed towards Zhang Yang fiercely again. Zhang Yang was as steady as a mountain, silently concentrating his internal strength on the tip of the sword, quietly waiting for Hun Dun's next move.
Chaos was ready to launch another attack. Zhang Yang held the hilt tightly and watched Chaos's movements quietly. Chaos suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang waited patiently for Chaos to approach.
Seeing that Hun Dun was about to hit him, Zhang Yang flashed and stabbed Hun Dun with his sword. It was too late for Hun Dun to dodge, and the tip of the sword almost touched his chest.
Hun Dun's strong will to survive made him barely dodge to the side, but Zhang Yang immediately turned around and pointed the sword directly at Hun Dun's ankle. Zhang Yang left him a glimmer of hope, hoping to make him realize that he had the ability to be stabbed.
However, Hun Dun misunderstood Zhang Liang's intention and thought that he had dodged the attack, and did not notice the change in Zhang Yang's attack target. Hun Dun quickly landed on the ground, stepped back, and prepared to charge at Zhang Yang again. Zhang Yang did not expect him to be so stubborn.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang remembered Taotie's warning that Hun Dun was a man who didn't know when to advance or retreat. In this case, Zhang Yang decided not to show mercy. Hun Dun rushed towards Zhang Yang again. Zhang Yang poured his inner strength into the sword. When Hun Dun approached, the sword blade scratched his ankle again, deeper than last time.
Zhang Yang knew what was going on, and cut off Hun Dun's right foot with one sword. If it weren't for the new power he had acquired, this sword might not have been able to hurt Hun Dun. Zhang Yang, who had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, also improved his swordsmanship a lot.
Hun Dun was furious, angry at Zhang Yang's ruthlessness. He dragged his injured leg and roared towards Zhang Yang again. Zhang Yang took advantage of the situation and cut off Hun Dun's left front foot. Hun Dun fell to the ground and hit his head hard, but he still did not give up.
Hun Dun struggled to get up. Seeing his persistence, Zhang Yang decided to make a quick decision and not to fight him for a long time. When Hun Dun rushed over again, Zhang Yang had already prepared the sword with his inner strength, ready to strike a fatal blow.
Hun Dun approached with difficulty, and Zhang Yang pointed the tip of his sword directly at his heart, but there was still a glimmer of hope. Hun Dun fell in front of Zhang Yang with his last breath, and Zhang Yang showed no mercy.
Hun Dun looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Yes, you have passed this level of mine. I underestimated you. Your strength is extraordinary." "Thank you for the compliment." Zhang Yang responded.
"You can move on and challenge the next guardian." Chaos said. "Okay." Zhang Yang turned and left.
"Good luck." Hun Dun said hurriedly. "Thank you." Zhang Yang smiled and thanked him.
The other beasts had already heard the news of Hun Dun's defeat, but Tao Wu had not yet fought Zhang Yang. Tao Wu was waiting impatiently in the south, full of curiosity about Zhang Yang.
The other two beasts were not surprised by the news. They had expected Zhang Yang to defeat Hun Dun. After Hun Dun left, he returned to the cave alone to heal his wounds. Zhang Yang continued to move westward, hoping to meet Tao Wu as soon as possible.
On the way, Zhang Yang encountered some small monsters. He quickly dealt with them and continued to move forward. Soon, he felt that there were many eyes around him watching him. Zhang Yang slowed down and waited patiently for those eager eyes to appear.
However, those eyes just stared at him but did not attack. The two sides were in a stalemate. Zhang Yang had no choice but to find a way to lure out these monsters. He squatted down, exposed his back, and faced those hidden eyes.
The monsters saw Zhang Yang's back and were ready to move. They rushed towards Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang kept his head down and didn't look at them. When the monsters approached, he swung his sword and easily cut off their heads. These monsters just wasted Zhang Yang's time and posed no threat to him.
Soon, Zhang Yang dealt with the group of monsters and continued to move westward. On the way, he stepped into a barren land, and there seemed to be no place to hide.
As Zhang Yang walked forward, there was a loud noise, and a monster shaped like a tiger came from the source of the sound. It had the body of a tiger, the hair of a dog, a human face, tiger feet and pig teeth, and its tail was 18 feet long. Taowu's huge body did not scare Zhang Yang.
"Are you the challenger who defeated Qiongqi, Taotie and Hun Dun?" Taowu looked down at the short Zhang Yang. "Yes, it's me." Zhang Yang replied.
"Okay, I'm Taowu, the last guardian." Taowu said. When Zhang Yang heard this name, he thought of the four evil beasts mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. This time, the beasts he encountered were all ferocious beasts in ancient legends.
"Very good, as long as you defeat me, the four of us will merge into a key to help you get to the next level." Taowu said to Zhang Yang. "Then let's get started." Zhang Yang couldn't wait.
Taowu threw himself into the battle, and Zhang Yang also picked up his sword, injected his inner strength, and waited for the decisive battle to come...
"Zhang Liang, there are very few city elites who can make Qiongqi, Taotie and Hun Dun bow down to you. The Xuanyuan family was one last time, and you are another one now." Taowu was not impatient and actually started a conversation with Zhang Liang.
"Xuanyuan?" Zhang Liang had heard this from Taotie before, and now that Taowu mentioned it again, he couldn't help but repeat it.
"That's right, Xuanyuan, the one who was honored as Huangdi by later generations." Taowu spoke with a slightly vicissitudes of life voice.
"Has Huangdi been to this 'King's Heritage'?" Zhang Liang was deeply shocked. He had only seen Huangdi Xuanyuan in history books.
The ancestor who created the first civilization actually set foot on this prosperous land under our feet. I don’t know whether I should be proud or feel pressured.
"He collected mysterious divine stones and rare minerals here and forged the Xuanyuan Sword."
"The raging fire lasted for a full forty-nine days. During that time, he didn't provoke us, and we naturally didn't make trouble. What big noise could a sword-making master make? Until the sword was completed, he took up the sword to challenge us, and finally defeated us one by one." Taowu narrated the story to himself, ignoring Zhang Liang's reaction.
Zhang Liang was also wondering why Taowu mentioned all this, but he did not interrupt him despite his doubts.
"Do you know where the Xuanyuan Sword is now?" Taowu stared at Zhang Liang and continued.
Zhang Liang was unable to react in time and asked why Taowu asked this.
"It is said that the Xuanyuan Sword was passed on to Xia Yu after the death of Huangdi, and its whereabouts afterwards are unknown." Zhang Liang replied, feeling fortunate that his 21st century historical knowledge came in handy.
"That's right, the Xuanyuan Sword was indeed passed on to Yu. But Yu was not the one who inherited the will of the Xuanyuan family. The sword was able to understand his mind and soon left Yu's side. After many twists and turns, it returned to this path of inheritance." Taowu looked at Zhang Liang expectantly.
"You mean, the Xuan-Yuan Sword is in this fifth level?" Zhang Liang took over Taowu's last words, unable to hide his excitement.
"Yes, the Xuanyuan Sword is in the fifth level." Taowu responded and looked at Zhang Liang as if waiting for something.
"Senior, could you tell me where the Xuan-Yuan Sword is?" Zhang Liang looked at Taowu, his eyes flashing with ambition and domineering.
The sword in Zhang Liang's hand is very ordinary, and he can hold on until now only because of his true energy. If he gets the Xuanyuan Sword, his strength will be even greater, and no one can defeat him.
"There are many people who want to obtain the Xuan-Yuan Sword. Why should I tell you?" Taowu said with a smile.
Taowu would not reveal the location of the Xuanyuan Sword to an ordinary challenger, but he told Zhang Liang, obviously intending to promote him.
However, Taowu wanted to see if Zhang Liang was worthy of Xuanyuan clan's will.
"Since the senior has told me the location of the Xuanyuan Sword, don't you want me to go find it?" Zhang Liang asked back.
Zhang Liang was not stupid. After all, Taowu was one of the four great ferocious beasts in ancient times. How could he, who was so arrogant, easily reveal so much to a stranger?
"Boy, you are also very smart." Taowu looked at Zhang Liang and was speechless for a moment.
"Thank you for your praise, senior." Zhang Liang said quickly and waited for Taowu's next words.
Zhang Liang had already determined that Taowu would tell him the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Sword, but he might still have some concerns. All he had to do was to wait patiently for Taowu to put forward his conditions.
"Okay, if you want the Xuanyuan Sword, you have to defeat me first." Taowu roared to the sky and rushed towards Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang did not expect Taowu to suddenly attack, but Zhang Liang responded calmly and immediately concentrated after a brief loss of consciousness.
Facing Taowu who was about to crush him, Zhang Liang cleverly dodged by turning sideways.
Taowu's attack missed, so he turned to Zhang Liang, launched another attack and pounced on Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang was ready, holding his sword and staring at Taowu.
Then, Zhang Liang leaped into the air, spinning his body to face Taowu. The long sword swung out a dazzling curtain of light, like a falling star, gorgeous and dazzling.
Then, the sword light flashed, and the true energy had already filled the sword body, pointing directly at Taowu.
The dazzling sword light rushed up like a giant silver dragon. Taowu could not avoid it and had to use his front paws to block it.
Taowu was a burly beast, and although he lacked flexibility, he was very strong. Zhang Liang felt the force just by blocking with his claws.
The two men were in a stalemate for a while, with no clear winner. Almost at the same time, both sides withdrew their offensive and took a step back.
"Zhang Liang, you're quite capable." Taowu is proud of his strength. He is born with supernatural powers. His strength is amazing among the four ferocious beasts.
Zhang Liang was able to match Taowu in strength with just the sword in his hand, which made Taowu a little annoyed, but more of an admiration.
Zhang Liang did not respond to Taowu. After landing, he made some adjustments, then charged towards Taowu again with his sword in hand.
Zhang Liang was extremely fast and he had already arrived in front of Taowu before Taowu could react.
Taowu saw Zhang Liang's movements clearly and saw that he was holding a sword in his right hand and grabbing one of Taowu's front paws with his left hand.
Taowu was huge, and Zhang Liang's body was only half the size of Taowu's leg. He barely grabbed the long hair on Taowu's claws, then raised his legs, flew into the air, and kicked Taowu's chest with both legs.
Taowu was attacked in the chest and pain spread throughout his body, as if he was hit by a huge rock.
Taowu didn't know that this attack came from Zhang Liang concentrating all his energy on the soles of his feet, which gave him such magical power.
Taowu roared and twisted his body. Zhang Liang felt the hair in his hand gradually lose control. He suddenly exerted force with his legs and kicked Taowu hard, sending him flying several meters.
With the last kick, Zhang Liang did not forget to raise his sword and stab Taowu who had not yet landed on the ground.
A sword pierced Taowu's shoulder, and Taowu fell to the ground with a wail. After Zhang Liang did all this, he did a backflip to distance himself from Taowu.
He was not sure whether this huge monster would fall down. It was always better to keep a distance. Even if Taowu attacked suddenly, he was prepared.
Taowu struggled to stand up, and the severe pain in his shoulder made him howl...
