SEC Chapter 80 Opportunity
Chapter 80 Opportunity
Huang Hong handed over the poured wine and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Senior Brother."
Xing Yu took the wine, his expression somewhat complicated, and said, "Junior Brother, you really are..."
After a pause, Xing Yu didn't continue, but changed the subject, saying, "My second junior brother originally wanted to come along too, but I stopped him."
Huang Hong laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xing Yu got down to business.
Xing Yu shook his head and asked, "Tell me, what are you really thinking? If you really can't take it anymore, then come back to Flowing Cloud Fist with me. As long as you hand over the items, no one will make things difficult for you."
"This is also what our master meant."
"Thank you for your concern, Master," Huang Hong replied first, then said, "However, I have my own plans for this matter. For me, this is not a danger, but rather an opportunity."
As he spoke, Huang Hong took the package out of his arms and placed it on the table.
Upon seeing the bright yellow package, even Xing Yu, who had no particular interest in such matters, couldn't help but catch his breath.
Huang Hong smiled and said, "Senior brother, would you like to see it for yourself?"
Xing Yu suppressed his desire and shook his head, saying, "This... isn't a good idea."
Ignoring Xing Yu's refusal, Huang Hong opened the bright yellow package, revealing the Imperial Seal of the State inside.
Upon seeing this treasure, Xing Yu's breathing quickened, and he no longer held back, carefully picking up the Imperial Seal of the State.
At the same time, Huang Hong could clearly feel the strange looks coming from those around him.
Huang Hong was no stranger to this kind of gaze. In fact, during the time he was being hunted, he often took out the Imperial Seal of the State to play with it, sometimes in the deserted mountains and sometimes in the bustling city.
It was precisely because of this frequent exposure that the news spread so quickly and attracted so many people to covet and hunt it down.
A moment later, Xing Yu exhaled and put the Imperial Seal back. He sighed and said, "Junior Brother, do you intend to use this method to fight against all the martial arts masters in the world?"
"It's too dangerous. You have to know that there are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Moreover, the meaning this thing represents is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. With it, you will have to face far more than just martial arts masters."
"All sorts of demons and monsters will gather here, using all sorts of methods, both overt and covert."
Hearing Xing Yu's words of concern, Huang Hong maintained a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."
"Please also convey this message to Master, so that he won't have to worry about me."
Xing Yu gave a wry smile and said, "How could Master possibly be at ease!"
"Never mind, actually my master reminded me before I came that this is your own choice, and there's a high chance I can't persuade you otherwise."
"Be careful. If you really have to resort to desperate measures, throw the things away and reveal your identity as Nanto Seifen. That might be of some use."
Xing Yu downed his drink in one gulp, stood up and walked out of the tavern, saying in a low voice, "The Nan Dou Sacred Fist will not get involved in this matter, and will also suppress the sects and lords that are on friendly terms with the Nan Dou Sacred Fist. As for the others, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"It is said that a master from the Fist of the North Star has taken notice of this matter, and his whereabouts have been unknown for several days."
Watching Xing Yu leave, Huang Hong naturally understood what his senior brother wanted to express.
He muttered to himself, "A grandmaster? Well, I hope he won't disappoint me."
As time went by, Huang Hong faced more and more attacks, and the intensity of those attacks increased.
At first, they were just independent cultivators like the Six Eccentrics of Peach Grove. Later, rising stars from various schools, scions of aristocratic families, and powerful figures from the military emerged one after another as formidable opponents appeared.
Huang Hong even encountered a large army that surrounded and attacked him due to a carelessness, and this army was the elite force of the top three lords in the world.
Although there were only 1,200 men, these fierce soldiers were all veterans who had shed blood on the battlefield and possessed considerable martial arts skills. Combined with the military formation, they could easily defeat even enemy forces ten or twenty times their size.
This battle was also the most difficult one Huang Hong fought.
Among this harmonious and well-coordinated army, Huang Hong's proud courage in breaking through enemy lines was greatly limited. All the soldiers were fearless and the general was also very strong. Under the cover of the soldiers, he kept sniping at Huang Hong, making it impossible for him to escape.
Realizing he couldn't charge into the enemy lines, Huang Hong decided to unleash his fury and began a killing spree.
Thanks to his monstrous physique, the battle lasted for three hours, and the entire battle area was filled with blood and corpses.
It must be said that this is a world-renowned strong army. With a strength of 1,200 people, it only collapsed when only 300 or 400 people remained.
It should be understood that in ancient warfare, if new recruits lacked cohesion, a defeat would occur if more than half of them were killed or wounded. Those who could achieve a defeat after two or three percent of their recruits were considered truly brave and valiant.
Truly powerful armies, with a cohesion strong enough to be fearless of death, are extremely rare throughout thousands of years of history.
Watching the fleeing army and seeing the fearful and bewildered eyes of the soldiers, Huang Hong did not pursue them. He knew that even if many seeds remained in this army, its reputation had already been destroyed by him.
After the battle, Huang Hong disappeared for three days, not to recuperate from his injuries, but to process what he had learned in the battle.
The more intense the battle, the more one is pushed to the brink, the more one's potential is unleashed.
Although this is a very risky cultivation method, after all, no one can be lucky forever, and no one can win all the time.
However, it must be said that this method does indeed have an unimaginable driving force for improving the strength of martial artists.
Over the past three days, all the martial arts knowledge he had learned and comprehended had been swirling and dancing in Huang Hong's mind, decomposing and recombining into a deeper martial arts wisdom and richer foundation.
Huang Hong's extraordinary panel has more than fifty martial arts skills in the skill bar, covering all aspects.
Only a small portion of these skills are of common quality; the majority are of rare quality. This is not because rare quality skills are common, but because Huang Hong, through continuous thinking and enlightenment, has upgraded many common quality skills to rare quality!
Huang Hong could clearly sense that a unique power was brewing within his heart, and it was nearing its end, but it still lacked a catalyst before it could truly take shape.
And this opportunity is not far off!
The Yangtze River is one of the two mother rivers that nurtured Chinese civilization.
With a small boat and a pot of wine, Huang Hong drifted down the river, content whether the current was swift or calm.
Looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, I couldn't help but copy down a poem: "I left Baidi City amidst colorful clouds at dawn, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in a single day. The cries of monkeys on both banks never ceased, and my light boat had already passed countless mountains."
Huang Hongzheng struck a pose, seemingly admiring his own beauty, as if he were sharing the same state of mind as the poet.
Just then, a burst of applause and laughter came from afar: "What a wonderful poem! What a wonderful poem! I never imagined that Young Master Huang not only possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, but also has such unparalleled mastery of poetry!"
"Truly a man of both literary and martial talents!!"
