"Senior Brother, I won't allow you to bully Second Senior Brother!" The little girl stood between the two.
Another skinny boy said, forcing himself to speak, "Xiao Juan! Move aside, this is a matter between men!"
Snap!
Xiao Juan slapped him across the face. "You call yourself a man? You're just a little kid! A little kid! I'll teach you to be a man..."
"Ouch, junior sister, don't hit me! I won't compete with senior brother anymore, okay? I won't compete anymore..." The skinny boy was beaten and ran away with his head in his hands.
"We can't not compete! You already agreed! Xiao Juan, get out of the way!" The tall kid said and rushed forward, trying to bypass Xiao Juan and his junior brother to compete.
"Get out of my way!" Xiao Juan turned around and slapped the senior brother.
Snap!
They draw really fast and accurately!
The girl named Xiao Juan was taller than her two senior brothers. All three of them had only basic martial arts skills, and their fights were no different from those of normal children. Whoever was taller had the advantage.
However, this senior brother was a bit older, and he wasn't afraid of Xiao Juan if they really fought. After being slapped, he immediately wanted to regain his senior brother's face, so he swung his hand and slapped her back.
Xiao Juan had already anticipated this move. "Damn it, Second Senior Brother, let's deal with him together!"
"Oh, good!" The second senior brother immediately rushed up and joined forces with Xiao Juan to attack the eldest senior brother.
The eldest brother quickly found himself at a disadvantage, crying out, "This isn't fair... If you're so capable, let's fight one-on-one... Ouch... It hurts, it hurts, stop hitting me..."
Xiang Yu's lips twitched violently. "Are all the children in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils so precocious?"
"That's because you haven't seen modern children. Well, children are just playing house. That person came out but didn't notice the system." Hao Jiu scanned the area, including the three children.
As for the identities of these three children, Hao Jiu had already made a rough guess. They should be Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun. They were also martial arts masters in the Central Plains in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, but their master was extremely mysterious. The name written on the list was Tan Wuming.
"Doesn't Xiaoyaozi recognize this person either?" Hao Jiu asked, looking at the somewhat lewd-looking old man in front of him.
"This person must be a recluse. He never founded a sect before, and there's no news about him in the martial arts world. It's as if he appeared out of thin air. How could I possibly know him?" Xiaoyaozi said with a wry smile. It seems that the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect as all-knowing should be relinquished.
"Overlord, why don't we let Canghai test this man's martial arts?" Li Canghai asked.
"Alright, be careful." Xiang Yu felt that his actions were a bit too much, but it was also part of his secretary's job.
"Hmm." Li Canghai responded, put on his veil, and flew out through the dimensional window opened by Xiang Yu.
"Who goes there?" Tan Wuming's expression changed drastically, completely unaware of where the masked woman in front of him had come from.
Without saying a word, Li Canghai raised his hand and unleashed a White Rainbow Palm strike.
Tan Wuming narrowly dodged the attack with a lazy roll, exclaiming, "A palm strike? What a formidable girl! Tan Da, Tan Er, quickly take Juanzi back to the cave to hide!"
"Yes! Godfather!" The three children were startled by Li Canghai's sudden appearance and quickly went around him.
Ignoring the children, Li Canghai repeatedly struck out, blocking Tan Wuming's escape route, leaving him with no way to avoid it.
However, the next moment, something incredible happened.
Tan Wuming's body suddenly shrank a size, and his speed increased dramatically. He actually managed to find a way out through the narrow gap!
This is what it means to be as swift as a rabbit.
Tan Wuming crouched low and rushed straight under Li Canghai's skirt. Judging from his height and size, he could easily hide under the skirt. However, Li Canghai was not about to let him have his way and quickly used her Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge to the side.
However, Tan Wuming instantly rolled over and got close to Li Canghai, but instead of hiding under her skirt, he struck out with one hand and even announced the name of his martial art, "Three Waves of the Yangtze River!"
Li Canghai mastered the Lingbo Weibu technique, instantly widening the distance between himself and his opponent. He then unleashed a palm strike, still using the White Rainbow Palm Force, a strike that cleaved through the air.
However, this time the two were too close, and Bai Hong's palm strikes could not exert their advantage, resulting in a palm strike exchange.
boom!
The White Rainbow Palm actually fought to a draw with the opponent's Three Waves of the Yangtze River, but Li Canghai used the opponent's residual force to instantly widen the distance.
"Not good!" Tan Wuming was horrified. Judging from the other party's figure and appearance, she should be a young woman, but her skill was simply terrifying. His own Yangtze River Three-Layer Waves could unleash three times the power, which meant that the other party's skill was three times that of him!
The key is that once the distance is increased, the opponent's palm strike can exert a greater advantage, and it will be difficult for him to get close again; he can only passively dodge.
"Young lady, hold your hand! We have no grudge against each other, why fight to the death? Even if you want to take my life, let me die knowing why!" Tan Wuming dodged left and right, rolling and crawling, but he actually managed to avoid all of Li Canghai's attacks.
"It's just a friendly spar, I didn't mean to kill you!" Li Canghai grew angrier as the fight progressed. His opponent's moves were chaotic and rather ugly, but he just couldn't hit him.
"Huh? Then why are you attacking relentlessly, each move aimed at killing the other?" Tan Wuming was speechless, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. If what the other party said was true, wouldn't that mean their martial arts were beyond measure?
"You keep dodging, so of course I have to keep hitting you. Besides, how are all my moves meant to kill? With your skill, you won't die from just one palm strike."
Li Canghai had gradually mastered her opponent's dodging techniques, but Bai Hong's palm strikes were infinitely varied, and she was confident that she could defeat her opponent in a short while.
"In that case, I'll let you have a slap in my face..." Tan Wuming said, and used his shoulder to meet a gust of wind from the palm, but the palm turned and hit him squarely in the face.
Snap!
"Ah..." Tan Wuming flew out spinning around, wailing inwardly, "That was too cruel!"
Chapter 403 is still missing.
Snap!
"ah……"
Tan Wuming flew out in a whirl...
Li Canghai quickly withdrew his hand. He thought the other party was just joking, but he really couldn't dodge the palm strike. The palm struck the head. Could it have really killed this person?
Thump!
Tan Wuming fell to the ground, seeing stars and bleeding from the corner of his mouth; half of his face swelled up instantly.
"Young lady, what superb skills! I admire you! I admire you!" Tan Wuming knew in his heart that if the other party really wanted to kill him or subdue him, she would never have let go of the good opportunity just now.
Being inexplicably confronted and brutally beaten by a girl would be unpleasant for anyone. Yet, no matter how upset you are, you have to keep it to yourself and put on a smiling face even after being beaten. The world is a dangerous place. As long as you can save your life, you can only endure no matter how outrageous the other person is.
Li Canghai also realized he had gone too far. "Are you alright? I have medicine..."
"It's alright! I have medicine too." As he spoke, Tan Wuming took out a small box from his pocket, dipped his hand in the ointment inside, and quickly applied it to his injured face. The injury healed instantly!
Xiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, "God of Wine, his medicine..."
"It's amazing, but it might not be from the system. This kind of medicine did appear in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, I think it was called Golden Spear Medicine. The reason he was alright was mainly due to the Bone Shrinking Technique, which shrunk his bones and increased their density, allowing him to withstand the White Rainbow Palm strike." Hao Jiu said this and transmitted his voice through the Shadow System, "Li Canghai, find a way to get the opponent's Bone Shrinking Technique and Golden Spear Medicine formula."
"Yes, sir." Li Canghai thought to himself, this is a task assigned by the God of Wine, I must complete it, but how? Should I steal it?
Tan Wuming dusted himself off, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your mercy, young lady. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died here."
"From what you're saying, it's as if I saved your life?" Li Canghai laughed.
Tan Wuming was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's right. Not only did you save my life, but you also saved the lives of those three children. Please tell me what brings you here, and I will do my best to help you."
"Then I'll be frank. I want the secret manual for the Bone Shrinking Technique and the formula for the Golden Gun Powder," Li Canghai said directly.
Tan Wuming gasped. "It seems you came prepared, young lady. Well, you possess unparalleled martial arts skills, so it's already a great honor for you to be interested in my mediocre skills. No problem, I can give you the Bone Shrinking Technique manual and the Golden Spear Elixir formula, as well as the Yangtze River Three-Layer Waves manual. Please wait a moment, I'll go get them right away."
"Wait, we don't need that 'Three Waves of the Yangtze River' thing." Li Canghai thought to herself that even she, with her not-so-skilled White Rainbow Palm, could barely handle that move, so it couldn't be some kind of peerless martial art. What use would it be?
Tan Wuming's lips twitched violently. "Alright."
"Also, I don't want to owe anyone anything. Here's a magic pill that can restore anyone to full health as long as they haven't died. In exchange, I'll give you the two items I want." Li Canghai casually tossed out a healing pill.
"An elixir? Then I'm the one taking advantage of you, young lady." Tan Wuming scoffed. Why would you need my Golden Spear Medicine if you have an elixir? Are you just being stingy? That's ridiculous.
However, the situation was perilous. If he were alone, there was still hope of escaping, but with three children in tow, there was no way to run away. He had no choice but to submit.
Li Canghai didn't refute it, because in her opinion, that guy was the one who benefited. Even if the God of Wine obtained the Bone Shrinking Technique and the Golden Gun Medicine, it was impossible for them to spread in this world, so it had no impact on him whatsoever.
After returning to the cave, Tan Wuming immediately took out paper and pen and began writing down the formulas for the Bone Shrinking Technique and the Golden Gun Medicine.
"Master."
"Godfather".
The three children all gathered around. They had secretly seen their master being spun around, so they knew he had lost, but thankfully he was alright.
"Go inside and practice your skills properly. I will be fine." Tan Wuming had no sons, so he took three disciples as his adopted sons and daughters.
"Godfather, what is this?" Tan Xiaojuan asked, pointing to a red pill next to the inkstone.
Tan Wuming chuckled, "This is a treasure, called the Immortal Pill."
"An elixir? Is it tasty?" Tan Xiaojuan asked again.
"You can't eat this, take it and play with it." Tan Wuming flicked his finger, and the elixir flew towards Xiao Juan. Unfortunately, she didn't catch it, and the elixir passed over Xiao Juan and fell to the ground, rolling into the depths of the cave.
The three children, having received their new toys, excitedly chased after the boy, shouting, "Let's play with the magic pills!"
Without the three little guys bothering him, Tan Wuming immediately started writing furiously, thinking it best to send that great deity outside away as soon as possible.
Li Canghai was not worried about the other party escaping. When it came to lightness skills, the Xiaoyao Sect could be said to be the best in the world, without any controversy.
Soon, Tan Wuming came out with a few pages of paper. "This is the secret manual of the Bone Shrinking Technique and the recipe for the Golden Gun Powder. Don't worry, I didn't cheat, and I wouldn't dare to hide anything."
"That would be for the best, otherwise I really will take your life next time we meet." Li Canghai took the manual and smiled slightly, then used the Free and Easy Wind Riding technique to fly into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"God, god, immortal!" Tan Wuming was filled with regret. If he had known the other party was truly an immortal, he wouldn't have let him go so easily, even if he had to beg for a magic pill.
"Oh no! My elixir! My little darlings, stop playing around! That really is an elixir!" Tan Wuming shouted as he ran, using all his strength to rush into the cave.
"Oh no! Master, the elixir has fallen into a mouse hole!"
Tan Wuming "..."
At this time, Xiang Yu and his men had already moved on to their next target.
"Why does the God of Wine treat the Bone Shrinking Technique and the Golden Gun Powder differently?" Xiaoyaozi asked in confusion.
"Indeed, many spells can achieve the same effect, but it is precisely because these two are not spells that they are so precious, especially the Golden Gun Powder, which is very suitable for promotion in the army. Xiaoyaozi, when you have time, study the Bone Shrinking Technique and the Golden Gun Powder, and find a way to improve them to make them even more perfect."
Hao Jiu's motivation wasn't solely to conserve energy; he was also considering the future. He knew that he and Xiang Yu might one day turn against the God of Systems, at which point Hao Jiu would find himself in the same predicament as his shadow systems, whose supplies could be cut off instantly.
The quality of medicines in the free market varies greatly. Ordinary medicines are very cheap, but better healing medicines are very expensive. Hao Jiu tried several kinds, but the results were not very satisfactory.
If things go wrong after he and Xiang Yu have ruled many cultivation worlds, using elixirs instead of medicine is certainly an option, but who can say for sure?
Stockpiling more healing medicine is one solution, but even if you stockpile a lot, you'll eventually run out of resources. Besides, there are too many things to buy, so it's not good to use all your energy to stockpile medicine.
"Don't worry, God of Wine, Xiaoyaozi will do his best!" Xiaoyaozi's pride was greatly satisfied. It turned out that God of Wine only wanted those two things as a reference, and what he really wanted was the improved version by Xiaoyaozi.
"Good." Hao Jiu increasingly felt that bringing Xiaoyaozi on board was an incredibly wise decision. What the Chu-Han plane lacked was creative technological talent like Xiaoyaozi.
