Chapter 453: The Deer and the Cauldron – Ao Bai
Chapter 453: The Deer and the Cauldron – Ao Bai
Yuwen Chengdu had obviously learned the Inner Power Heart Method, his eyes were extraordinarily sharp.
Ding Ling saw him.
He also saw Ding Ling, and his face couldn’t help but change dramatically. Instinctively, he pulled up his warhorse, ready to turn around and leave.
But the cavalry behind him, surging like waves, forced him to temporarily go with the flow.
However, his face grew increasingly grave.
The brawny man beside him noticed, and laughed aloud:
"Yuwen Chengdu! It’s ridiculous for you to claim to be the number one mighty general of the Sui and Tang World! Look at you cowering! Must you be so exaggerated?! It’s just Guo Jing, let me show you Ao Bai’s strength later! Open your eyes and see what the world’s number one mighty general truly is!"
Yuwen Chengdu glanced sideways, disdainful:
"Ao Bai, you know nothing! I’m not afraid of Guo Jing!"
"Then why are you acting so timid?!"
Ao Bai sneered and mocked:
"I wasn’t the only one who saw you acting like a coward just now! In front of everyone, you pulled up your horse as if you wanted to escape! What are you trying to do?! Planning to desert on the battlefield?!
Intending to become a renegade general?!"
He spat a wad of phlegm on the ground: "I think you, Yuwen Chengdu, are not fit to be a general at all!"
A flash of anger crossed Yuwen Chengdu’s handsome face, and he couldn’t help but grip his Phoenix Wing Golden Mace tightly, lifting it slightly.
Ao Bai noticed this and showed no fear, confronting him head-on:
"What, you want to hit me? Hahaha... I, Ao Bai, fear neither heaven nor earth, and certainly not you, Yuwen Chengdu. If you have the skill, come and fight me for 300 rounds, and if you can win, I’ll call you grandpa without question! But it’s a pity, coward, you don’t have what it takes!"
"Hmph!"
Originally wanting to remind Ao Bai of a few things, Yuwen Chengdu immediately gave up the idea, only snorted, and thought to himself:
"Ao Bai, you fool! Since you’re in such a hurry to die, go ahead, I won’t accompany you!"
Yuwen Chengdu was ready to run off at any moment!
He truly hadn’t expected to encounter Ding Ling in such a place.
If he had known, he would have detoured three feet away to stay far from Ding Ling!
"I joined Kublai’s camp to obtain first-class Inner Power Heart Method, and now that purpose is fulfilled, there’s no need to continue fighting and working for Kublai.
I must take this opportunity to distance myself from the Mongolian Army and avoid getting stuck."
In order to gain Kublai’s favor,
and also to obtain the top-tier Divine Skill Secret Manual.
After ascending, Yuwen Chengdu, through a series of coincidences and opportunities, joined Kublai’s army, fought several battles, won Kublai’s approval, and became the Commander-in-Chief of a ten-thousand-man iron cavalry like Ao Bai.
He had been practicing first-class Inner Power for a short period, and though the explosive power of his fusion qi was strong, it couldn’t compare to Ao Bai’s.
Ao Bai, it was unknown what opportunity he got earlier, but he had long learned a top-tier Breathing Technique and achieved the Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross-Training Golden Bell Shield.
Invulnerable and water and fire invincibility!
His defense was extremely formidable, extremely hard to kill!
Yuwen Chengdu had once sparred with him and was repelled, but he knew it was because he had practiced Inner Power for too short a time.
As long as he worked hard in his practice, given time, he would surely surpass Ao Bai.
"Let this old thief go fight Ding Ling. I’m definitely not getting involved in this mess again!"
Feeling resolved, Yuwen Chengdu grew calm and peaceful, looking at Ding Ling with friendliness and kindness, and even gave him a slight smile.
Ding Ling was astonished, unable to decipher what Yuwen Chengdu meant.
But since a great battle was imminent.
Any opponent in the future.
Ding Ling would not be polite.
Rumble!
The cavalry surged like a flood.
Stopping neatly at the city gate.
Ao Bai, riding at the forefront, reached below the city, waved his spear, and arrogantly challenged the martial arts heroes:
"I am Ao Bai, Commander of the ten-thousand-man cavalry under the Mongolian Army. Who here dares to come out and duel with me?!"
Ao Bai?
Ding Ling’s eyebrows twitched.
Quite puzzled.
How did this guy also join Kublai’s army?
Hai Dafu’s and others’ deaths led Ding Ling to believe that those who ascended from The Deer and the Cauldron World would stop here.
But the result was apparent, the ascendees were beyond his imagination.
"Let me test your level."
A young hero couldn’t stand Ao Bai’s provocation, jumped down the city gate tower, opened the gate, and charged out, brandishing a Guan Saber aimed heavily at Ao Bai’s head.
"Hahaha... Weak, too weak!"
Ao Bai did not evade, allowing the attack to strike his head, and it seemed to produce the sound of metal striking metal instantly. Then, as the attacker stood stunned, Ao Bai pulled back and thrust his spear, knocking the person off their horse:
"I heard that many heroes and martial arts masters have arrived in Xiangyang City recently. Is this the weakling you are? Hahaha..."
He laughed:
"From my perspective. You are all so weak, there is no point in continuing the fight, just surrender directly."
"Cease your arrogance!"
Another hero couldn’t stand it, descended from the city gate tower, galloped out, holding a spear, and thrust vigorously at Ao Bai. Bang!
Hit right on Ao Bai’s chest.
But Ao Bai remained unharmed, instead laughed and again shot the opponent dead:
"Weak, weak, weak, not a single one could be called a match!"
He looked up at the gate tower:
"I don’t know who Guo Jing is, but whoever it is, come down and fight me! If you win, I’ll leave immediately without hesitation, but if you lose, don’t blame me for taking your life!"
Guo Jing’s face flashed anger, but after thinking about it, he suppressed it.
He held back, but someone else couldn’t, going down to fight:
"Who do you think you are, daring to meet Hero Guo..."
The sentence hadn’t finished.
Ao Bai, enraged, swung his spear, and killed him from a distance.
Hit the person’s chest, killing instantly.
Easily killing three people.
Without any effort.
Besides, he was invulnerable.
Many martial arts heroes immediately felt disappointed and remained silent but couldn’t help a feeling of sadness, thinking to themselves: Just one Ao Bai coming from the Mongolian great army is this strong! How can we fight against this?!
"Damn it!"
Guo Jing could no longer contain himself and was about to descend.
Stopped by the hurriedly-arrived Huang Rong.
Huang Rong looked at Ding Ling, saying:
"Brother Ding, I know your goal. If you want a Martial Arts Secret Manual, you can lead everyone to repel this attack from the Mongolian Army. If you can repel it,
I will immediately offer all the Supreme Skills of Peach Blossom Island. No empty promises!"
"Alright."
Ding Ling came here to progress on Task 3.
And to deal with Kublai.
Kublai had issued a death order against him, how could Ding Ling ignore it?
Now hearing Huang Rong’s words, he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "I’ll go meet this Ao Bai right now!"
