Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities.

Chapter 287 Preparation
The stone man leader looked horrified, but did not panic. He suddenly took out a strange spear from somewhere and stabbed it towards Xu Guang.

A cold light exploded in the air.

Amidst circles of terrifying miasma, the man retreated rapidly at the speed of light. At this moment, those stone men that looked like wandering souls also attacked Xu Guang frantically.

It was as if Xu Guang was regarded as some kind of ladder, spreading layer by layer and surrounding him.

Xu Guang had a blank expression on his face, and the strength in his body that had not yet completely subsided was slowly vibrating in the air.

"Little tricks!"

A golden light suddenly shot out from the seal holding the talisman. The golden light gathered in the air to form a golden palace, which smashed towards the stone man leader like a mountain pressing down on his head.

The stone man leader raised his arm, and the stone man shadows flew towards his arm. The layers of stacked black scales on his arm looked like the nest of these shadows at this moment.

Then, waves of fierce and surging power surged out from his arms. The huge impact force was like a wave, madly hammering the phantom of the golden palace in the air.

The terrifying alien force turned into black lines, entangled with the golden palace in the air, twisting and entangled.

Xu Guang didn't show any expression on his face, but he was shocked in his heart. The power contained in each of these silk threads exceeded one million kilograms. What shocked Xu Guang even more was the strange power in these silk threads, which seemed to be able to penetrate everything, merge everything, and assimilate everything.

Above the golden palace in the sky, clearly visible were lines of moving black silk threads.

These silk threads flow on the walls of the Golden Palace like living things.

The next moment, Xu Guang rushed forward.

In just a moment, his figure appeared in front of the stone man leader and he punched out with all his strength.

There was a loud bang.

The ground instantly collapsed to form a huge deep pit. As the not-so-condensed power on the mountain continued to maintain, the pit collapsed again and expanded outwards, instantly becoming more than twice as large.

The entire ground was shaking violently, from the jungle to the mines, and from the mines to the Iron Mountain City farther away!
Everyone can feel this terrifying vibration.

"What a powerful force!"

Deep in Tieshan City, in an ancient castle, a woman suddenly opened her eyes and felt the ground shaking in shock.

This was not an ordinary earthquake. In places where iron bans existed, natural disasters such as earthquakes rarely occurred. Such an earthquake could only be caused by a peerless master fighting with others!

"Is it Wanquan who is fighting with others? No, that direction is the man-eating monster outside the city."

Shock appeared on the woman's face.

I couldn’t imagine what kind of existence could fight a monster like that.

But in the Iron Forbidden Area, in this Yaolantian, such masters are mostly half-demons.

The woman sighed.

The two warring parties were so powerful and so far away from each other that she could feel the aftermath of their fight.

"Such power..."

Xu Guang looked at his arms wrapped in black silk. "These deformed monsters are indeed... all monsters."

He felt the strong invasive nature of these threads, as if they were about to penetrate through his arms into his body and merge with him.

Thinking of the legend of the stone man, it was not difficult for Xu Guang to imagine what would happen to him once these black threads entered his body.

Therefore, he did not bother to pay attention to the stone man leader who was only breathing his last breath, and directly released all the strength that had not yet subsided in his body, frantically expelling the black silk threads on his arms that looked like living things.

After a moment, Xu Guang slowly stood up and looked at the stone man leader who was still gasping for breath and the big hole on his chest.

He was seriously injured. His chest was completely gone from the left ribs to the waist and abdomen. His head also seemed to have been hit by something, with half of it inserted into his chest.

But even so, it is still gasping for breath.

Xu Guang even discovered that when he dispersed those silk threads, he actually moved a little.

The stone man's vitality is so strong.

Xu Guang's eyes were filled with shock as he slowly squatted down. The seal holding the talisman was suspended in front of him and was pressed down hard by him!
"But everything is over."

The crazy power rushed into Xu Guang's body like a raging wave in an instant.

This is not the strange black threads before, but more like a power that originates from the power of creation.

This is also the power that Xu Guang felt, which can heal his injuries.

He did not reject it. The calamity energy in his body penetrated through his body and formed an energy net on the surface of his body, filtering out those huge waves.

……

An hour later.

Xu Guang walked out slowly from a dense forest, with a strange flush and satisfaction on his face.

After killing the stone man leader.

His injuries had not fully recovered, but his strength had been able to be concentrated. The only injuries left were in his will, and his combat power had recovered to at least 70% of its peak level.

The recovery of his strength finally made him feel comfortable and gave him a sense of security.

About to leave.

Suddenly he stopped and looked towards the dense forest in the distance.

Just a glance.

At this moment, Liu Huarong, who was carefully observing from a distance, felt as if she was being stared at by some ancient giant beast. She was quiet, mysterious, but full of dangers!
After noticing the great battle outside the city, Liu Huarong walked out of the tower. As one of the few powerful humans in Tieshan City, she worked hard for the survival of mankind all day long, even though she knew that in this Yaolantian, most of the powerful people were half-demons.

But what if it's a human?

Although humans are not necessarily human at heart, Liu Huarong still has some hope.

The first time she saw Xu Guang, her eyes froze.

What a...human being!
next moment.

Xu Guang appeared in front of her, only about ten meters away from her.

There was also curiosity on the other person's face, as if he was looking at some rare animal.

That look...

Liu Huarong's hair stood on end and she felt cold all over.

"Senior... please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions!"

In just a moment, Liu Huarong made a judgment on the situation. Xu Guang was most likely a human hermit who practiced in the deep mountains and forests. Because there was no place for him to stand out in this Yaolan world, he came out after he achieved success in martial arts.

Yao Lantian has many people like this.

Xu Guang had no intention of killing the woman in front of him. After realizing that the woman was a human, he had actually restrained his murderous intent.

But Liu Huarong was just at the Tongxuan realm, and at most she had just condensed the Tongxuan bridge.

Such a realm is in front of him.

It was like a young mouse looking at an adult lion. Even though the lion did not take any action, the young mouse was still terrified. It was the same great fear that humans naturally feel when faced with fear.

It's instinct, it's unavoidable.

Especially since Xu Guang is now injured, and his willpower has not recovered well, his aura cannot be completely hidden.

Even just a wisp of breath was enough to shock Liu Huarong.

"Are you from Tieshan City?"

Xu Guang asked softly.

When facing a strong man, especially a strong man she had never seen before, Liu Huarong believed in being honest.

She didn't dare to displease the other party in the slightest, so she nodded immediately after Xu Guang finished speaking.

"I used to be from Tieshan City. I practiced in Jinshan City before and returned to Tieshan City ten years ago..."

The woman explained her origins quickly like pouring out a bamboo tube, but she did not mention her master.

Xu Guang was not interested in this either, he was just a little curious about women.

Now that I understood her origins, I said nothing more.

He just looked the woman up and down for a long time.

From what the woman said before, he knew that this person had been protecting the civilians in Tieshan City. At least from her behavior, the woman in front of him was a good person and a...

Holy Mother!

Xu Guang had no ill feelings towards the Virgin Mary. When others used their love to do good things, even if they made sacrifices, they were also making sacrifices themselves. Such people are actually worthy of admiration.

At least, she's not a saintly bitch.

After all, when she talked about what she had done, she did not ask Xu Guang to help her.

The Virgin Mary is admirable, but the Virgin Mary bitch is disgusting.

Xu Guang actually had a better impression of the woman in front of him.

This is a very good person, at least he knows what he is doing.

"Are you interested in becoming the lord of Tieshan City?"

Liu Huarong's expression froze, and then she looked at Xu Guang in disbelief.

Xu Guang chuckled, "Before, there was a man named Wan Quan, who was killed by me."

Liu Huarong instantly understood the meaning of Xu Guang's words. Faced with such temptation, she hesitated.

After a moment of silence, he said softly.

"The people of Tieshan City have suffered enough, please, sir..."

Xu Guang waved his hand, "I'm not interested in that kind of thing, but I need a stable place right now."

He thought about it carefully and decided not to act rashly because he didn't know who was looking for him.

After all, the methods used by people in the mysterious world are hard to guard against.

The most urgent thing he needs is to adjust his condition to the peak.

Xu Guang planned to stay in Tieshan City for a while to fully recover from his injuries, and then think of a way to completely hide his aura, and then find a way to cross the sea and go to Diyutian.

Not acting rashly is the most cautious and reliable approach.

Liu Huarong's eyes lit up when she heard Xu Guang's words.

But it was her first time meeting Xu Guang and she didn't trust him.

Xu Guang didn't care about her thoughts, nor did he care who the owner of Tieshan City was, as long as he didn't disturb her.

……

The world is big enough.

But the Xuan world is even larger. Just the Yaolantian and the slightly narrower North and South Poles span at least tens of millions of miles, not to mention the east and west.

The vast territory has more crises and more diverse races.

It also means that the distance between cities is farther.

Nine hundred miles outside Tieshan City is Yushan City, which is also the closest city to Tieshan City.

The owner of this city is not the city lord, but the marshal.

In other words, Yushan City is a place ruled by real warlords, and Marshal Chen Youhui is the real local tyrant of Yushan City.

Unlike Tieshan City, Chen Youhui is not a half-demon, but a...human!
There is no doubt that Chen Youhui is a hero who was able to fight his way out of the bottom of Yushan City with his bare hands, become the marshal of Yushan City, and put all the half-demons under militarized management.

You can imagine how tough the methods used by such a person are.

Even Liu Huarong was willing to return to Tieshan City to secretly help humans and teach them some martial arts, which was also inspired by Chen Youhui.

But at this moment, Chen Youhui looked troubled.

He recently fell in love with a woman, but that woman is very difficult to deal with.

This is difficult not because women have some noble status that they cannot deal with.

But she...

There is something weird about me.

"Marshal, why don't we go to Tieshan City and ask Miss Liu for help!?"

Someone beside me whispered.

Upon hearing this, Chen Youhui looked thoughtful.

"That's fine, besides..."

He thought of another thing.

Yushan City is naturally also a member of the Iron Forbidden Alliance. He also knows that the masters from the Central Demon Realm came to look for a man named Xu Guang.

"There's news from the Alliance that they want to capture a human named Xu Guang. I want Miss Liu to help out and provide some assistance. The more powerful humans in the Iron Forbidden Territory, the better..."

Humans are very strange creatures.

When surrounded by external enemies, humans will show unprecedented unity, but once they become the true overlord, humans will fall into extreme terror, as if there will be no end to the internal strife.

It is not difficult to understand Chen Youhui’s mentality at this moment.

In Yaolantian, which is ruled by half-demons, strong humans are extremely rare.

Everyone seemed friendly and united.

But once this situation reaches Emperor Yutian, who is ruled by humans, unity will collapse in an instant.

The theme is never-ending infighting.

……

……

Three days later.

In Wanquan’s original castle.

Xu Guang sat quietly in front of the huge field of meat.

As the city lord, Wanquan has a different meat field in his castle.

It was completely different from the outside of the meat field he had observed before. It was not in the shape of a mountain, but rather a swamp-like area that covered hundreds of miles. It was all pitch black, with some strange pieces of meat constantly turning up in it. The meat field seemed to be able to breathe, with bursts of strange gurgling sounds constantly coming out.

There were hundreds of half-demons just searching for pieces of meat in the meat field.

"who!"

Suddenly, a half-demon holding a whip, dressed as an overseer, with a pair of huge green horns on his head saw Xu Guang's figure. His expression suddenly changed, and he rushed towards Xu Guang quickly on the swamp-like flesh field.

Xu Guang looked at the other person with an expressionless face.

When the opponent was about to rush in front of him, his figure moved at an extremely terrifying speed.

next moment.

Xu Guang's palm grasped the other person's throat.

Accompanied by a click.

All the half-demons who saw this scene were shocked.

The half-demon, who had been ready to make a move like the supervisor or was just watching the show, felt like he was struck by lightning.

Xu Guang glanced at everyone lightly, then stood at the edge of the meat field again to observe carefully.

How exactly was this meat field formed?

Xu Guang still doesn't understand it.

He was curious about it and even had the urge to taste it.

The meat produced in the Wanquan Meat Farm looked much better than those he had seen before; at least it was not in the shape of a part of the human body.

All the supervisors and half-demons looked at Xu Guang carefully, fearing that they would provoke him and be killed by him in one blow.

Xu Guang ignored the gazes of these people and just watched quietly.

Until suddenly a streak of light flashed across the distance.

A long-haired woman fell to the ground.

It’s Liu Huarong.

"Senior, be ready."
