Chapter 204: Puzzled
One palace, one sect.
Tang Zheng, who had never heard of such things, could not help but be curious, “What are these?”
Li Xiaotian smiled and said, “You have good strength, but you don’t know the about the situation of the world. It seems that you don’t belong to any big power.”
Xiao Xiaoleng also looked at him coldly and seemed to be guessing Tang Zheng's background.
“There are three major martial artist organization in the world, namely, the Li Palace, the Martial Organization and Azure Dragon Sect.” Li Xiaotian said.
“Martial Organization.” Tang Zheng was shocked to hear the name of the organization again. It turned out that the forces in this world were more complicated than he had imagined. If these three forces regarded the cultivators as eyesores, that might be troublesome.
"What is the Martial Organization”? Tang Zheng asked subconsciously.
Li Xiaotian's eyes lit up, she said, “Well, you actually knew the Martial Organization. That's really strange.” Speaking till here, a pair of eyes carefully examine Tang Zheng once again.
Tang Zheng's heart secretly startled. Martial Organization was a special organization that terminates cultivators. Before allowing Li Xiaotian to guess his identity, he quickly explained, “I once heard that Martial Organization had many experts, so I wanted to go study under a master.”
“Apprenticeship?” Li Xiaotian giggled. “It seems that man definitely deceived you. Martial Organization never accepted an outsider as a disciple. You don’t have a chance to learn martials art from a master.”
“If you don’t try, you won't know, there might be a chance. You just need to tell me where Martial Organization is.” Tang Zheng argued.
Tian Chanzi had always wanted to go to Martial Organization to investigate. If he found out from Li Xiaotian's mouth about the organization, things would be simpler.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaotian shook her head, she said, “I don’t know where Martial Organization is. Only Grandma knows this. If you follow me back to leave the palace, you will know.”
Tang Zheng was a little bit moved.
“Are you trying to send him to death? If any man enters the palace, he will not come out alive." Xiao Xiaoleng interjected.
Li Xiaotian stared at him, “If you don’t talk, nobody will treat you as dumb. Besides, weren’t you going to kill him? Let me take him to the palace to play, doesn't this fit your criteria?”
Tang Zheng’s heart turned ice-cold, this Li Xiaotian was so vicious that she wanted to take him to the palace and kill him. This woman really had the most poisonous heart.
Xiao Xiaoleng said in disdain, “I don’t need anybody to meddle in my own business.”
Li Xiaotian hugged her hands and shrugged, she said, “When did I said you to stop? Go on, I’ll just watch the show.”
Xiao Xiaoleng took a deep look at Li Xiaotian, and then no longer paid attention to her. Instead, he said to Tang Zheng, “If you kill yourself, I will let her go, otherwise I will kill her first, and then kill you.”
“If you dare to hurt her, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will crush you to pieces.” Tang Zheng said firmly.
“I have never been afraid of threats. Are you sure?” Xiao Xiaoleng asked coldly.
Tang Zheng looked at the Fang Shishi. She had no fear on her face. Instead, she smiled at him and said, “Tang Zheng, don’t worry about me.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’ll save you.”
“Hehe, Tang handsome boy, quick start, I want to see how you will save her, I am very curious.” Li Xiaotian urged.
Xiao Xiaoleng was on high alert, Tang Zheng gave him too many surprises, so he was very afraid. But he had a hostage in hand, and he firmly believed that Tang Zheng would not play any tricks.
Tang Zheng, of course, would play with tricks. He could use Body Locking Technique to prevent Xiao Xiaoleng from moving for an instant.
But the key was that there was also the holy maiden of Li palace. Since the Li Palace and Martial Organization are equally famous, then Li Xiaotian might know the existence of cultivators? He didn't know whether they regarded cultivators as deadly enemies.
If he displayed the Body Locking Technique and exposed his cultivator identity. He might draw the attention of Li Palace. He was not sure, so he hesitated.
Seeing the flexible sword on Fang Shishi's neck already cutting her skin, he knew he was finally going to do it. Even if Li Xiaotian noticed his identity, it was impossible to eliminate her together with the assassin.
Tang Zheng did not have the idea of showing tender affection. Li Xiaotian was just like a beautiful poisonous snake, so he must avoid her.
But the movements of Fang Shishi were quicker than him. she also learned the Body Locking Technique, but she was not as proficient as Tang Zheng. Therefore, her hand quietly aimed at Xiao Xiaoleng’s acupuncture point, so that she could conceal the method of setting herself, and it could be summed up as Pressure Point Technique.
The girl’s thoughts were very meticulous.
Xiao Xiaoleng’s attention had been on Tang Zheng, and he had not noticed the movements of the Fang Shishi. But Li Xiaotian had always been paying attention to her movements.
Initially after Fang Shishi made the first move before Li Xiaotian could take away the iron box, made her feel bitter all this time. Although the Fang Shishi were no different from an ordinary woman, Li Xiaotian, with delicate mind, still devoted part of her energy to her.
Seeing the action of Fang Shishi, her eyes lit up, she shouted, “Be careful of her pointing.”
Xiao Xiaoleng’s attention was immediately aroused by her shout. His reaction was so quick that he immediately grasped Fang Shishi's fingers.
Tang Zheng and Fang Shishi were furious. This Li Xiaotian was so bad that they broke their preparation. But before she could accuse Li Xiaotian of her sinister intentions, Tang Zheng quickly took out the War Spirit sword from his iron box and stabbed.
This sword utilized the Heaven Flying Immortal Sword Technique and in a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Xiao Xiaoleng. Heading straight to his face.
If he did not resist, his head would be directly pierced by the sword. Xiao Xiaoleng was forced to be helpless, as he could only loosen the Fang Shishi and defend against the sword.
Clang!
When the two swords struck each other, it quickly bounced back, and Tang Zheng quickly grabbed Fang Shishi's waist, hugged her in his arms and quickly retreated.
Thrusting the sword, saving her, and retread. These series of actions were as fast as lightning. It seemed like floating clouds and flowing stream, revealing Tang Zheng's great strength.
T/N: 'Floating clouds and flowing stream' means free and unrestrained.
Xiao Xiaoleng's and Li Xiaotian's eyes unanimously widened as they stared at Tang Zheng. Li Xiaotian suddenly applauded and laughed, “Beautiful, beautiful, you even unexpectedly successfully snatched a person from the Grim Assassin.”
Xiao Xiaoleng's face turned colder. He had the upper hand, but this blow brought him down, making him both shocked and angry.
Tang Zheng looked at the two people, he coldly said, “It’s not that easy to kill us.”
Li Xiaotian chuckled and said with a smile, “I can’t admit that you’re right. You know, Grim Assassin is an Eight Grade Pre-Natal master, now I'm actually very curious about what your martial arts level.”
Tang Zheng stared intensely at Xiao Xiaoleng. No wonder he couldn’t see clearly through his martial arts level. Unexpectedly, he was an Eight Grade Pre-Natal master. He looked like he was only in his thirties, but he had such a high martial arts level. There was no doubt that he was a talented person.
It was not a good thing to be remembered by such an expert.
If it hadn’t been for Li Xiaotian, it was impossible for him to have provoked Xiao Xiaoleng, so Tang Zheng hated the playful culprit even more.
“You are holy maiden of Li Palace. What martial arts level are you?” Tang Zheng asked back.
“Clearly, I asked you first. If you answer first, then I will say.” Li Xiaotian playfully said.
Tang Zheng snorted and ignored her. He certainly could not tell other his own personal details.
“Damn, stingy. You don't need to say it. Grim Assassin, you can go on now, don’t let me wait too long. Quickly decide who wins and losses. I’m a little hungry, got up early in the morning, and didn't have time to have breakfast.” Li Xiaotian urged.
Xiao Xiaoleng looked at Tang Zheng and said, “I don’t care who you are. Since I said I would kill you, I would do it. Otherwise I would break my rules.”
Tang Zheng said in disdain, "You're just bullying the weak and fears the strong. How can you yield under her?"
Xiao Xiaoleng was embarrassed, he said, “This world follows the law of the jungle. If you have such a strong background, then I don’t mind letting you go.”
“Is it? Then why are you not willing to let me go?" Tang Zheng was now a Ninth Grade Refining Qi cultivator, plus Fang Shishi was of the Third Grade Refining Qi realm certainly not Xiao Xiaoleng's opponent. Therefore, this battle was going to be very difficult, almost no hope of victory.
“If you are superior to me, I will naturally let you go.” Xiao Xiaoleng said.
“Well, I hope you don't regret it later.” Tang Zheng could only go all in, raised his sword and rushed in.
Xiao Xiaoleng snorted and greeted him.
In the blink of an eye, the two men clashed, already 10 moves were used. The flexible sword was like a viper in Xiao Xiaoleng's hand, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Forcing the defending opponent to be careless while guarding against the sword.
Tang Zheng loudly roared, displaying the Heaven Flying Immortal Sword Technique; Wind Gathering Clouds. Instantaneously, debris flew, the power between the Heaven and Earth shifting like the clouds. As the sword struck, it carried the force of the wind and thunder.
Xiao Xiaoleng expression slightly changed, he shouted, “Good sword technique!”
The flexible sword zigzagged along, carving out snake-like swords in the air, layers stacked upon layers, completely blocking the Wing Gathering Clouds move from touching him.
Bang!
The sword broke, Xiao Xiaoleng stepped back and said in shock, “It's really a good sword technique, it can even force me back, but don't necessarily think that it is easy to defeat me using this technique.”
Shoosh!
The flexible sword shook, a sword light sparkled as it violently attacked Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng did not retreat, but moved forward. Using the Wind Gathering Cloud, a sword hit the center of this sparkled sword light.
Cling! The sword light was shook off, and Tang Zheng quickly forced himself forward, at the same time, secretly used the Body Locking Technique silently.
The aura between heaven and earth changed in an instant. Xiao Xiaoleng felt a force rushing into his meridians, and his body unexpectedly could not move for a moment.
Tang Zheng did not give Xiao Xiaoleng a chance to react as he seized the once in a thousand years' opportunity. The War Spirit sword arrived on the latter's throat, but did not move further.
Because he knew that his opponent could only truly be controlled for a short time by the Body Locking Technique. However, as long as his opponent feels that the situation is bad, he will immediately force out this power, just like when he faced Huang Si. The Body Locking Technique could only be used to make his opponent caught off guard and could not be a fatal move.
Sure enough, Xiao Xiaoleng sensed that his body could not move. He quickly circulated his Inner Energy to forcefully push back the power. Right at this moment, the War Spirit sword had reached his throat.
Although he recovered his movements, he was undoubtedly defeated. His eyes flickered with grief.
“You lost!” Tang Zheng said quietly, pulling the sword back.
Xiao Xiaoleng expression fluctuated indefinitely. He could never have imagined that he would be defeated. The key was that he very much feared that mysterious power.
He did not know what Tang Zheng did it, but there was no doubt that Tang Zheng was as not as simple as he imagined.
Li Xiaotian suspiciously looked at the two men, she asked in surprise, "How can you lose?"
Tang Zheng obviously lost ground in the previous two attacks, but in a flash, the battle had turned the world upside down, which left her puzzled.
