The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 168 First Learn to Count

"Hey, what kind of bird is that?" Zhu Bupang's exclamation made the four people, who were secretly annoyed, temporarily suppress their displeasure and subconsciously look in the direction he was pointing.

Where the eye falls, a blue and red water sprite is twirling and soaring merrily...

"Damn it! Are you kidding us?" Xu Peng and the others were furious. They immediately landed and surrounded the three people in the air mass from all sides.

Suddenly, the six people stopped and hovered silently in the air. The atmosphere gradually became oppressive, with a hint of impending conflict.

Forced to stop, the man in blue's eyes turned somewhat sinister as he transmitted his voice, "Since there's no way to avoid it, then you two go! I'll cover for you!"

"Don't worry, boss! We have a way to deal with them!"

After saying something to Feng Ling, Zhu Bupang and Gou Bushou turned around and gave Xu Peng and the other three a lewd and evil smile.

"You two, you pig and dog duo, who's going first?" At Xu Peng's signal, the two closest mid-stage seventh-level disciples arrogantly raised the tips of their longswords and shouted at the two people pointing directly at the ball of energy with disdain.

"Haha! Do you believe it or not, my brother and I can scare you all off the ground with just three words!"

Zhu Bupang remained calm and composed, beckoning to each of the four people with his fingers without even summoning his usual weapon.

"That's right! The reason I'm wasting so much time talking to you is to get you all... to come at me all at once! So we don't have to waste any more effort!"

The slender disciple replied with an arrogant air, his nonchalant expression suggesting he didn't take the four men, whose murderous intent was surging in their eyes, seriously at all.

Compared to Zhu Bupang's arrogance, which was subtle and tactful, Gou Bushou's provocation was more blatant and direct.

"Tsk tsk~!" Feng Ling clicked his tongue in amazement. Regardless of whether Zhu Bupang was faking it or not, his arrogance was almost on par with the former Xu Banxian!

"You two idiots, prepare to die!"

Several angry shouts rang out, and four fierce longswords attacked the air mass. Xu Peng and the others looked extremely ugly; the arrogant attitude of the two opponents had truly angered them.

"What exactly are these two planning to do?"

As the sharp sword, gleaming with a cold light, drew ever closer, the man in blue, chin in hand, turned his head and watched the two with interest.

"Fine! You forced me to do this..." Zhu Bupang and Gou Bushou's eyes were bloodshot. Xu Peng and the others' faces became even more ferocious upon hearing this. Their lips moved, but they hadn't yet uttered any harsh words...

"Ah—! Murder...!"

"Elder, help me...!"

Two terrified screams, like pigs being slaughtered, pierced the sky. The four men who had stepped forward with swords stopped in their tracks, startled, and felt a faint pain in their eardrums.

Outside the dueling arena...

"Hmm? Elder Luo, there seem to be other people over there!" As one of the elders suddenly stopped and spoke to the hook-nosed elder beside him, the other elders who were about to enter turned around and looked up at the sky.

It was only a minute before the third quarter of the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), and there were still people loitering outside. Thinking this, the elders felt a surge of suppressed anger.

"Xu Peng, so it's you little brats! Hmph~, get down here right now!"
"If you do, and you delay the competition, see how I deal with you…!"

Upon recognizing the group surrounding the energy cloud, Elder Luo Bin's brows furrowed with gloom, and he roared angrily at the sky.

"Hiss~! Elder Luo's temper is getting worse and worse!" The old man who spoke first twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention the inner disciples high in the air, even the elders who were nearby quickly turned their faces away after seeing the situation was not good.

"Damn it, it's all your fault, you two bastards!"

A powerful sonic wave surged upwards, carrying with it the familiar voice of the old man. Xu Peng and the others trembled, gritted their teeth, and wished they could tear the two still yelling at them to pieces. "Oh no, Elder Luo is furious!"

Then, before they could make a move, as if sensing something, their four faces instantly turned ashen, and they quickly bent down and plummeted to the ground.

"This isn't over!" After quickly scanning the calm-looking man in blue with extremely complicated eyes, Xu Peng and his companions, amidst their "busyness," didn't forget to throw out a harsh remark: "You two, just you wait and see!"

"Ah—, harming fellow disciples...!"

"You're bullying your junior brother!"

How terrifying...!

Unaware that the two had called out twice more, the four, their eyes red with anger, quickly turned away to shut out their hearing and focused on flying downwards on their swords.

"How shameful! The person's already gone, you two have really gone too far...!"

The man in blue, who had regained his composure, twitched at the corner of his mouth again. The shrill noises coming from the two of them were becoming unbearable for him.

"Hey, boss! Aren't we awesome?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bupang and his companion immediately abandoned their previous fear and turned to the man in blue beside them, beaming with pride and showing no awareness of the approaching danger.

"Ah—!" With a loud "bang," two screams followed closely behind, their piercing tones like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

Immediately, the man in blue who had stopped rolled his eyes and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I thought it was some kind of brilliant idea!"

If Feng Ling were to comment, aside from using the elders to avoid conflict, where the two showed some cleverness, their constant shouting, which was always used as a supplement...

It's a complete blunder!
In particular, its torturous and devastating power, comparable to the sound of a dolphin, could break the record for the strongest "terrifying noise"!
Of course, this doesn't refer to the beautiful, melodious, heavenly sounds of a single dolphin, but rather... the chaotic, roaring, and mind-blowing sounds of groups of dolphins...

"Boss~...!" Seeing the two looking at him with resentment, the man in blue, who had just left the cloud of energy, slapped his forehead and looked away, saying, "Stop—!"

Feng Ling helplessly explained via telepathy, "Please learn to count first, then come see me...!"

Then, without caring what the two thought, the man in blue slipped away and quickly descended to the ground. Perhaps only by not looking at Zhu Bupang and the other man could he maintain his good mood.

"Uh……!"

The two people in the cloud of energy were both stunned for a moment. They didn't understand the first part of the man in blue's sentence, but the second part...

"Senior Brother Zhu, you seemed to have said more than three words just now, didn't you?" A sly glint flashed in the thin disciple's eyes. He instantly stared at the person beside him with a strange expression.

"Cough cough~, whatever...!"
"Anyway, look at Xu Peng and the others, they were so scared of us that they fell down, weren't they?"

The slightly chubby disciple coughed lightly, waving his hand to brush off the important point, which earned him a disdainful look from the thin disciple, but he didn't have time to think about it further...

It seems someone...

P.S.: Sorry, starting next month (tomorrow), I'll be updating daily. (I'm starting to write for fun, focusing on quality, and I'll no longer care about grades.)
Because reality is cruel, the results of "Dead Dog" were heartbreakingly poor, and even a sage cannot afford to waste his studies any longer.

However, it won't be abandoned; it will definitely be completed!
This is not only a promise to the readers, but also a promise that Zongzi makes to itself.

After all, the magnificent world contained within the zongzi has only revealed the tip of the iceberg...

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
