Chapter 72: Act Tough Before Taking Action
Little Bell smiled and said, "Kid, are you scared?"
"Hey, why should I be afraid of them? Worst case, we fight to the death!" Xiao Yun wrinkled his nose and pouted, laughing innocently.
Little Bell said, "That's the spirit! I support you!"
Crash!
A loud thunderclap erupted, and suddenly the wind howled while heavy rain poured down.
Xiao Yun took out a cigarette, lit it, and squinted his eyes as he slowly blew out a smoke ring.
Before danger approached, Xiao Yun had already learned how to act tough in front of his opponents. No matter how strong they were, he had to first overwhelm them with his presence.
As the smoke cleared, he saw four people standing under the Pavilion—wait, why were there four ugly figures: a Cyclops, Fishing Rod, Fat Ball, and a Unicorn!
All four were staring at Xiao Yun.
Pfft!
Xiao Yun laughed.
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Yun simply threw his head back and laughed even harder, looking as if the world was collapsing around him.
"Orchid Daoist, what does his laughter mean?" Zheng San leaned closer to Orchid Daoist and asked curiously.
Orchid Daoist shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know."
Zheng Er remarked, "I guess this kid was scared silly when he saw us!"
Zheng Da coldly spat out two words: "Pretending."
"Master!" Although Zheng Da spoke softly, Xiao Yun still heard him and secretly praised him. This guy could tell at a glance that I was pretending; he really has some insight.
Xiao Yun threw away his cigarette, slowly stood up, and walked out of the pavilion with an air of confidence. He stood against the wind, striking a pose like a handsome tree in the breeze. He tossed his head back stylishly, ran his hand through his hair, squinted at the four people under the pavilion, and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you look ugly, but could you not scare people at night? I'm naturally timid and have no idea where you four little clowns came from."
Four little clowns?
Zheng Da's expression changed several times, feeling as if he might vomit blood.
What he hated most was being insulted about his looks in front of others. Damn it, being ugly is something given by one's parents; did I want to look like this?
This kid's words were really infuriating.
What bad luck! It seemed that this trip had brought some misfortune. After rushing from Beijing to the galaxy and being scolded by the security guard for looking ugly at the hotel, now this kid was calling him a clown.
Zheng San noticed the change in his boss's expression and shouted, "Brothers, let's act quickly! Once we take care of this kid and get the money, even the most beautiful women in the world will kneel under us calling us handsome!"
"Exactly," Zheng Er rubbed his fists together and rolled forward like a ball, eager to try. "Old Three is right; we've been suffocating in this empty valley for years! Our mouths are so dry we could spit out a bird! If we don't act now, then when?"
"Calm down!"
Zheng Da's eyes darted around as he said, "This kid is using provocation. We need to stay calm and observe his every move. Knowing both ourselves and our enemy ensures victory in every battle!"
"Uh—hahaha..."
Hearing Zheng Da's words, Xiao Yun burst into laughter and said, "You are quite clever with that Fishing Rod of yours. Feel free to use any tricks you have!"
The Orchid Daoist shouted angrily, "Who exactly are you? The Spiritual Energy from those Ethereal Stones beneath Phoenix City has been harvested by you, hasn't it?"
Indeed, they had come for the empty recording stones.
Xiao Yun chuckled and replied, "In response to One-Eyed Dragon Daoist, my surname is Xiao, and my given name is Yun. The Spiritual Energy from those Ethereal Stones was indeed taken by me. What can you do about it?"
"So it's Mr. Xiao! In that case," the Orchid Daoist said with a smirk instead of anger, "we won't do anything to you as long as you obediently come with us to Beijing. I guarantee you'll enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory!"
"Ha! One-Eyed Dragon, I'm not falling for your Mud Horse trick. You want to trick me into going to Beijing to drain my blood? Haha, old buddy, your scheme is too unoriginal!" Xiao Yun scoffed.
The Orchid Daoist shouted in frustration, "You little brat, don't be so arrogant! Do you know the power of the three people behind me? With just a word from me, they could easily kill you in an instant!"
Xiao Yun laughed, "Old fossil, no wonder you have a flower stuck in your hair; you love showing off so much?"
"Uh..."
The Orchid Daoist yelled in anger, "Sky Valley Trio, get up here now!"
Zheng Er and Zheng San moved to leap onto the Pavilion, but Zheng Da waved his hand and said, "Wait, Brothers. Don't move for now; let me talk to him first!"
The summer storm came quickly and left just as fast. At this moment, the clouds parted and the moon emerged. Under the silvery moonlight, Zheng Da shook his body; his slender figure creaked like a skeleton. Around him sparkled tiny points of Green Light, resembling flickering phosphorescence.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, a wave of black and powerful malevolence erupted from him!
Xiao Yun felt his breath catch; although that Fishing Rod had yet to strike, it felt as if he was being pushed back two steps by an invisible force.
Bang, bang, bang!
Zheng Da threw three fireballs at Xiao Yun in quick succession.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun dodged quickly, but when the three fireballs hit the ground, the surrounding weeds were burned to a charred black.
"I didn't expect this guy could use fireballs too," Little Bell said to Xiao Yun. "Kid, his fireballs are nowhere near as powerful as my fireballs. I’ve already made some for you while I had some free time. Use mine to fight back!"
Zheng Da kept throwing fireballs at Xiao Yun. While dodging, he secretly asked, "Little Bell, how do I use them?"
Little Bell replied, "When you use it, just shout 'Huo' and point your finger at the target!"
"Got it!"
Xiao Yun responded and shouted, "Huo!"
Whoosh!
With a flick of his hand, a fireball shot out from the ring and flew toward Zheng Da.
At that moment, several of Zheng Da's fireballs were also flying toward Xiao Yun.
In mid-air, Xiao Yun's fireball collided with Zheng Da's fireballs, creating a series of beeping sounds. Zheng Da's fireballs were extinguished in an instant, while Xiao Yun's fireball charged straight at him.
"Ah!"
With a sharp scream, Zheng Da was engulfed in a raging inferno.
"Ah, boss—"
"Boss, are you okay?"
Zheng Er and Zheng San hurriedly rushed to Zheng Da's side.
Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, Zheng Da was already lifeless.
The Orchid Daoist trembled in fear, his face turning pale. He never expected that Xiao Yun could also use fireballs, and their power was many times stronger than Zheng Da's.
In the blink of an eye, this kid had actually killed Zheng Da in an instant.
Mud Horse, is this guy even human?
Among practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts, those who can conjure fireballs out of thin air to kill are extremely rare!
Who exactly is this kid?
"We're going to kill you to avenge our boss!"
Zheng Er and Zheng San attacked simultaneously.
Zheng Er struck with both palms, unleashing a fierce whirlwind towards Xiao Yun; at the same time, Zheng San's cane suddenly flew out from his sleeve, transforming in mid-air into a striking dragon aimed directly at Xiao Yun...
