Chinese Superman

Chapter 102 You beast!

Old Guo asked worriedly, "Little Xinghan, you're so greedy, leaving nothing for anyone. Aren't you afraid the Lu family will fight you to the death?"

He even suspected that if the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the Revival Relics weren't so closely bound together that they couldn't be transplanted, this kid would have uprooted the Nine-Bend Danxia Robe Immortal Branch and taken it away, soil and all.

"Who is the Lu family fighting to the death with?"

Xia Xinghan looked surprised and said seriously, "Elder Guo, we've never been here before."

"Wait, where am I? What am I talking about? I've been at the base all night, not leaving for a moment."

Mr. Guo gave a thumbs up again.

Who says he has my style?

This is truly a case of the student surpassing the master!

"Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!"

"The immortal tree is doomed; return quickly, return quickly."

"You little thief, you dare mess with the Lu family?!"

In the distance, the angry shouts of the four weapon wielders of the Lu family could be heard.

They raced back with all their might, the wind whistling through them.

""

"The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!"

Guo Lao grabbed Xia Xinghan, and the Bamboo Slip of the Military Sage flashed with a blue light. The mysterious "Running Away is the Best Policy" was activated, and the two figures blurred on the spot. The next moment, they appeared on another mountain several miles away. In another blink, they completely disappeared into the vast night.

Only furious roars and curses echoed from the depths of Wuyi Mountain among the Danxia peaks.

"You beast!"

"This is this year's new tea, all gone, all gone!"

"Where did this thief come from? So unethical! He didn't even leave a single leaf! Is he trying to offend us to death?"

"The Lu family is not finished with you!!"

On an unnamed mountain peak dozens of miles away from Wuyi Mountain, the night wind howled.

Guo Lao put away the bamboo slips of the military strategist and sighed: "The strategy of 'retreating is the best policy' is good, but it also consumes a lot of resources."

He took out a spirit stone and refined it to replenish his spiritual power.

For tasks like "visiting someone in person," which don't involve life or death, Guo Lao wasn't extravagant enough to eat spiritual fruits.

Xia Xinghan laughed from the side, "Grandpa Guo, you really don't need to use the 'retreat is the best policy'; it's too much of a waste of spiritual energy."

"Leave the running away to me next time. When it comes to speed, there are probably very few in the world that can catch up with me."

99

He wasn't bragging.

In the future, once all trillions of cells in the body are lit up and condensed into miniature stars, and then release a gravitational field, a "time bubble" can be formed around it.

At that time, let alone the speed of light, even exceeding the speed of light will be a piece of cake.

Simply put, Xia Xinghan is like a human-shaped curvature engine!

Now, Superman's own flight speed, combined with the Cloud Dragon Soaring Technique, is also extremely fast, and his speed when he unleashes his full power is simply terrifying.

Currently, only UF0 from the Star Kingdom and Guo Lao's "Speed ​​is of the essence" can catch up.

Guo Laogan chuckled twice: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it. As people get older, they become more cautious and always think about leaving themselves a way out."

cautious?

Xia Xinghan preferred to call him Gou.

One can only say that he truly deserves to be called a "successor" of the military strategist.

Seeing the undisguised envy in Xia Xinghan's eyes, Guo Lao explained, "Although the 'retreat is the best policy' is similar to teleportation, it has many limitations."

"First of all, it can only return to the city," meaning it can only travel to marked locations. The farther the distance, and the more people or items it carries, the more its energy consumption increases exponentially. If it's a journey of several hundred kilometers, my old bones would probably be drained dry on the spot."

Xia Xinghan nodded repeatedly, exclaiming, "Even so, the Bamboo Slips of the Military Sage are still incredibly practical. They encompass almost everything: offense, defense, concealment, mobility, and strategy."

"Other national treasures may be incredibly powerful in certain aspects, but in terms of comprehensiveness and adaptability, few can rival them."

Upon hearing this, Guo Lao stroked his beard and laughed heartily, a hint of self-satisfaction flashing in his eyes, but he humbly replied, "Each has its own merits, each has its own merits."

"Alright, enough chit-chat, where's next?"

The kind and honest old man was in high spirits, and seemed quite engrossed in trying to freeload.

"Huangshan, Zheng family." Xia Xinghan uttered four words.

Without further delay, Xia Xinghan activated the Cloud Dragon Soaring Technique and simultaneously enveloped Elder Guo with his bio-force field, transforming into an almost invisible stream of light as they sped off towards southern Anhui.

Huangshan.

Yesterday, a winter snow fell, covering the peaks in white and the trees with jade-like branches.

The cool moonlight, shining on the snow-covered peaks and strangely shaped rocks, made the scene even more ethereal and tranquil, like a beautiful traditional Chinese ink painting.

Unlike the Lu family, who spent a lot of manpower and resources to blockade Wuyi Mountain, there were no patrol personnel around Huangshan Mountain at this moment.

Only a vast sea of ​​clouds, churning endlessly, like a giant white curtain, tightly envelops the entire core area of ​​Huangshan.

Huangshan is known for its "Five Wonders": uniquely shaped pines, strangely shaped rocks, sea of ​​clouds, hot springs, and winter snow!

However, this sea of ​​clouds was not formed naturally. Within it, spiritual light flickered and Daoist energy flowed, clearly a protective wonder of Huangshan Mountain, activated by the "Mountain Master" after Huangshan "chose its master."

A labyrinthine maze of clouds!

Ordinary people who stray into the sea of ​​clouds feel only a vast expanse of mist, unable to distinguish east from west. No matter which way they go, they will eventually inexplicably return to their original place.

Xia Xinghan and Guo Lao stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at the churning "white barrier".

"Different sacred mountains, indeed different mysteries."

Xia Xinghan exclaimed, "Wudang is like a black tortoise carrying the mountain, a spirit snake coiling around the peak, and a spiritual aura converging at the summit. Huangshan, on the other hand, is shrouded in a sea of ​​clouds, with a mysterious mist protecting the mountain."

"The Lu family must be extremely envious. The Zheng family doesn't need to mobilize any troops; with this natural barrier, they are better off than a thousand troops."

"Unfortunately, with the powerful families controlling it, the true face of this 'most wondrous mountain under heaven' will never be seen by ordinary people again."

"What a load of rubbish, a family of noble birth, they're not even human!" Old Guo cursed.

Xia Xinghan nodded in deep agreement: "Therefore, our act of fleecing the powerful families is truly righteous, acting on behalf of Heaven, and robbing the rich to help the poor!"

"Rob the rich to help the poor?"

"That's right, we're poor!"

Old Guo was taken aback and admitted his inferiority: "It has to be you—I'll ask Lin Tingwan how she was taught in early childhood."

"Mr. Guo, I got a perfect score on my moral character test."

"With your brains, what test wouldn't you get a good score?"

"————"

Makes sense.

It's all because of my super brain that I became a top student.

"So, Grandpa Guo, are you confident you can get in? This mysterious sea of ​​clouds seems much more difficult to deal with than simply blocking it with manpower."

Xia Xinghan's super brain told him to ask Guo Lao.

The main principle is to avoid using your brain and your hands if possible.

Old Guo stroked his beard and smiled confidently: "If it were any other mystical art, perhaps some effort would be required. But for this kind of formation, one must consult 'The Art of War.' Watch my skills!"

He shouted in a low voice, "【Deceive the Heavens and Cross the Sea】!"

On the bamboo slips of the military strategist, ancient seal script representing "concealing the truth and showing falsehood to deceive and get through" suddenly lit up.

A mysterious wave spread out, enveloping Xia Xinghan and Elder Guo.

Their aura, their physical forms, and even their interaction with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly became "reasonable," as if they had become an inherent part of the mysterious "cognition" of this sea of ​​clouds.

It's like—

The two men, dressed in work clothes and carrying a maintenance ladder, seemed to have no trouble going anywhere.

"Walk!"

Mr. Guo took the lead and stepped into the churning sea of ​​clouds.

Xia Xinghan followed closely behind.

As expected, the sea of ​​clouds did not react, allowing them to pass through without hindrance.

The stunning snowscape of Huangshan Mountain is breathtaking.

The pine trees, laden with snow, display a myriad of shapes, while the craggy rocks are covered in silver.

Under the moonlight, the entire mountain was crystal clear, like a world of glass.

In the distance, the majestic Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak peek out from the sea of ​​clouds, like fairy islands at sea.

"Having seen the Five Sacred Mountains, one need not see other mountains; having seen Huangshan, one need not see the Five Sacred Mountains—this reputation is well-deserved."

Xia Xinghan took a deep breath of the cold, spiritually rich air and exclaimed in admiration.

"It's a pity that such a paradise has become a private garden."

"That's why we should take advantage of these powerful families even more!"

The two concealed their auras, donned plain silk robes, and headed straight for the Cloud Sea Welcoming Immortal Fir near Jade Screen Tower.

Before long, they saw the famous and unique pine tree.

It does not grow on a cliff, but is rooted on the edge of a flat viewing platform next to Yuping Tower, with the Green Lion Stone behind it. Its posture is elegant and graceful, with a long branch extending out on one side, like an arm making a "welcoming" gesture, echoing the sea of ​​clouds between the peaks.

It is truly a sea of ​​clouds welcoming the immortals!

At this moment, the pine branches are covered with glistening frost, shimmering under the moonlight, while the pine needles remain evergreen, with faint iridescent light flowing among them, making them appear extraordinary.

There was no powerful barrier around the pine tree, only a light mist swirling around it.

There is only one guardian.

An elderly man dressed in a brocade Tang suit, with a prosperous face, was sitting in a stone pavilion next to a pine tree, leisurely brewing tea and drinking it alone, enjoying himself immensely.

He held in his hand a gleaming, 80% gold filigree scepter, symbolizing eternal life.

The Ruyi scepter is extremely exquisite and intricate in its craftsmanship. The head of the Ruyi scepter is shaped like a lingzhi mushroom, with silk threads intertwined, radiating a precious light, making it extremely luxurious.

Xia Xinghan said, "Master Jia, the relic is an 80% gold filigree 'Ten Thousand Year Ruyi' scepter."

"Just one person?"

Mr. Guo was somewhat surprised.

"Even more relaxing than Wuyi Mountain?"

Xia Xinghan replied, "Huangshan has already chosen its master, and with the mysterious sea of ​​clouds protecting the mountain, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to sneak in. The Zheng family can rest assured."

"Moreover, all the seven-aperture mystical pine needles produced by the Yunhai Yingxian Pine have been harvested, leaving only the five-aperture mystical pine needles, so there is no need to guard them too closely."

After observing from afar, Xia Xinghan sighed deeply.

Another precious treasure is gone.

Only "defective products" remain.

"These aristocratic families are not behaving like human beings."

"?"

Mr. Guo: "You learn quite quickly."

"Haha, Grandpa Guo taught us well. Time is of the essence, so please get started."

"good!"

Holding the bamboo slips of the military strategist, Guo Lao used the same trick again.

First came the feint—a pebble flew towards the distant mountains and forests with unusual movement, startling a flock of night birds.

In the stone pavilion, the old man humming a little tune suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the source of the sound, and subconsciously clenched the golden ruyi in his hand.

But he did not leave immediately; instead, he looked around at the sea of ​​clouds with even greater vigilance.

"After all, it's A who's in charge; it's not as easy to 'fool' them as it is to B."

Unperturbed, Guo wrote the character "tiger" again, combining it with the phrase "luring the tiger away from the mountain".

This time, he created an even more realistic illusion—as if several powerful auras were sneaking into Huangshan, intruding into the mysterious sea of ​​clouds, and trying to steal the Zheng family's important treasury.

Of course, whether the warehouse is real or fake is not important; what matters is that the fish have taken the bait.

"You scoundrel, how dare you!"

The old man holding the ruyi scepter finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He snorted coldly, his figure transformed into a golden light, and he sped away with the Ruyi scepter, instantly disappearing into the snowy night.

"quick!"

Mr. Guo urged him on.

Xia Xinghan was already prepared, and in a flash he arrived in front of Yingxian Cong.

The first step was still to use the "plain silk robe" to isolate the fluctuations.

"The Five Apertures Connecting to the Mysterious Pine Needle?"

"It's better than nothing, I'll take it all!"

Looking at the pine needles that were lush and green, with iridescent light, Xia Xinghan showed no mercy and once again used the Yao Bian Tian Mu Seal.

The black bowl is upside down, and the "cosmic nebula" inside rotates, with flares of light sweeping down!

In an instant, as if an unseen hand gently brushed across the pine branches, thousands of emerald green pine needles detached from the branches and transformed into streaks of colorful light, which were then reflected in the bowl.

In the blink of an eye.

The once lush and verdant Yunhai Yingxian Fir is now reduced to bare branches covered in frost, trembling slightly in the cold wind, appearing somewhat desolate.

"All done, let's go!"

Xia Xinghan moved with fluid grace, put away his hand seals, and turned to reunite with Elder Guo.

The two were carried by Xia Xinghan and flew through the clouds. They passed silently through the mysterious sea of ​​clouds and disappeared into the boundless night outside Huangshan in the blink of an eye.

Less than a minute after they left, the golden light returned.

The old man with the Ruyi returned to the stone pavilion. He first scanned his surroundings warily, and only after confirming that there was nothing amiss did he turn his gaze to the Welcoming Immortal Fir.

Upon seeing this, he was struck dumb, frozen in place.

The ancient pine tree, now a thousand years old, was completely bare. Not only were there no new needles growing this year, but not even a single old or withered leaf remained!

It was truly spotless, not a single blade of grass was left!

The moonlight shone on the bare, snow-covered branches, reflecting the cool, clear light of the snow.

"Clang"

The old man's golden ruyi fell onto the stone table.

His eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he pointed at the Yunhai Yingxian Cong, his chest heaving violently.

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a furious roar through clenched teeth: "You beast!!!"

"They didn't even leave me a single needle!?"

(80% gold filigree, wishing you eternal happiness)
