The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Guan Zhendong's gaze turned cold, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Looks like you have an issue with me, Tang Rao?" Guan Zhendong said to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao stepped forward two steps, stopping less than three meters away from Guan Zhendong.

"To be honest, until yesterday, I didn't even know someone like you existed. There were no grievances between us," Tang Rao said.

Guan Zhendong didn't speak; he just watched Tang Rao.

"I know there's some unpleasant history between you and our family's Ali. You want to deal with her, she wants to deal with you—it's all understandable. I'm not the kind to interfere, and indeed, I haven't interfered," Tang Rao continued.

When Bald and company arrived in Tiandu yesterday, it was Lei Li who laid the beat down, not him.

As for that idiot with the cannon, charging in wanting to beat me up, not hitting him would have been an insult to his 13 points of IQ.

"So what exactly are you trying to do bursting in here today?" Guan Zhendong asked.

"I came for compensation for my mental distress!" Tang Rao said, "Didn't that cannon tell you?"

Guan Zhendong looked somewhat puzzled.

You had beaten that guy, Cannon, so badly that he lost his cultivation and is now under observation.

"Originally, Ali and I were enjoying our time in the room when that Cannon suddenly barged in and started fighting without a word. Damn it, I was so freaked out that I think I might have a psychological trauma now. So, to make up for my losses, you'll have to compensate me with something," Tang Rao said to Guan Zhendong.

Guan Zhendong: "..."

He really didn't expect Tang Rao to come for extortion.

Such audacity, defying the heavens.

"Honestly, I've been in Tiandu for eight years, and no one has dared to ask me for compensation for mental distress," Guan Zhendong said, squinting his eyes with a dangerous look.

"You'll get used to it," Tang Rao said with the corner of his mouth turned up.

As for Ye Xiaobai, he probably understood as well.

"Get used to it? I'm afraid I won't be able to," Guan Zhendong snorted.

"No problem," Tang Rao waved his hand, "I'm the kind of person who loves helping others. If you think you can't get used to it, then I'll just have to help you out, I'll fight you till you do get used to it."

Tang Rao said he would act and he did, his figure flashed and he charged towards Guan Zhendong.

Guan Zhendong was quick to react too, tapping his toes and retreating at high speed.

From Cannon's injuries, it was clear that Tang Rao was no ordinary fellow.

From the beginning, Guan Zhendong was on guard against Tang Rao.

"Yo, pretty quick on your feet!" Tang Rao sneered, displaying his footwork, his Inner Spirit rotating rapidly within him.

Tang Rao wasn't holding back; it was almost an all-out effort.

Guan Zhendong was not a pushover like Ye Feihu; not only had he reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment, but his combat experience was also not something someone like Ye Feihu could compare with.

Tang Rao clashed up and down with Guan Zhendong, exchanging over a dozen moves at extreme speed.

Ye Xiaobai watched, dumbstruck. He knew Tang Rao was strong, but never knew he was this strong.

Guan Zhendong had reached the late stages of the Foundation Establishment eight years ago, and now he was probably at the peak.

But at this moment, Tang Rao seemed evenly matched with Guan Zhendong.

No… that's not right, Tang Rao seemed to be overpowering Guan Zhendong.

Of course, the shock was not limited to Ye Xiaobai. Guan Zhendong's astonishment was several times greater than that of Ye Xiaobai.

He had already had high regard for Tang Rao after seeing Cannon get thrashed, but now it seemed he had still underestimated him.

Tang Rao's power completely exceeded his expectations.

Even his footwork was more deceptive and his moves were more remarkable than his own.

The only shortcoming was that the youngster's Cultivation Realm seemed not so high, and in terms of Spiritual Energy output, he was a bit behind himself.

If Tang Rao knew what Guan Zhendong was thinking, he'd surely spit in his face.

Nonsense, I just didn't have the chance to improve my realm. If I were at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment, would I still be fighting you like this? One flying kick would have you calling me daddy without a retort.

As time ticked away second by second, Tang Rao and Guan Zhendong had exchanged more than fifty moves.

Tang Rao had to admit, fighting peak Foundation Establishment as an early-stage Foundation Establishment was tough.

Even though he had rich combat experience and possessed an incredibly powerful Inner Spirit, the disparity in realm was just too great.

There lies the mid-phase, latter-phase, and peak of the Gathering Energy stage between us.

"Tang Rao, I have to admit that you're a genius, a genius so remarkable that everyone is envious," Guan Zhendong said while nimbly dodging.

Tang Rao, only twenty years old, to possess such strength at this age was extremely rare, even within the Sects.

"It's just too bad, your foundation is still lacking! Spiritual Technique: Flying Sword!" Guan Zhendong roared, hastily retreated, grabbed a longsword from nearby weapon rack, and violently threw it towards Tang Rao.

The longsword whistled through the air, spinning and slicing as it went.

"Spiritual Technique!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed from the sideline.

He had heard from his father that one could only practice Spiritual Techniques after achieving the Foundation Establishment.

How could Guan Zhendong know Spiritual Techniques? Could he have already established his foundation?

Impossible! If Guan Zhendong had established his foundation, it would have sent shockwaves throughout all the Cultivation Families in Tiandu.

As for Tang Rao, his eyes remained calm.

Spiritual Technique?

You can deceive others, but using spiritual energy to control the flight of the longsword is considered a Spiritual Technique? How can someone be so naïve at this age?

"Spiritual Technique, huh? Fine, since that's the case, I'll play along," Tang Rao's face revealed an indescribable smirk.

Even in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, it's exceedingly rare to see a Spiritual Technique that can be used during the Gathering Energy stage.

Tang Rao was fortunate. He had mastered one such technique.

The Dragon King Technique.

Upon entering the Gathering Energy stage, Tang Rao's spiritual energy surged dramatically. His powerful spiritual embryo and fierce spiritual energy were enough to sustain his use of the first move of the Dragon King Technique: Dragon King Claw.

Yes, you read that right, it's the Dragon King Claw.

Although Tang Rao had been using Dragon King Claw all along, it was merely in form; bluntly speaking, just a move, an action, without even one percent of its true power expressed.

The Dragon King Technique is a treasure-level Spiritual Technique, its moves couldn't possibly be that simple.

The true Dragon King Claw is incredibly ferocious.

Before reaching the Gathering Energy stage, Tang Rao couldn't invoke it, but now, he could afford to have some fun with it.

"Crash!" Tang Rao took a fierce step forward, raising his right hand. Instantly, the aura around him underwent a dramatic change, becoming overwhelmingly intense.

His eyes brimmed with restlessness and ferocity.

This feeling was indescribable, only Ye Xiaobai and Guan Zhendong, who were experiencing it in person, could truly understand.

"Dragon King!" Tang Rao howled, as the spiritual embryo within his Dantian suddenly contracted and released.

In an instant of contraction and dispersion, seventy percent of Tang Rao's spiritual energy was mobilized, forming a terrifying vortex of spiritual energy around his right hand.

"Watch closely, this is what a Spiritual Technique is!" On Tang Rao's arm, black markings emerged like inscriptions, spreading across the entire arm.

Kill!

Tang Rao stepped forward, his pass-by right arm hissing as if the air itself was ignited.

Boom!

The longsword thrown by Guan Zhendong was struck by Tang Rao's fist and instantaneously shattered into fragments.

Guan Zhendong was completely dumbfounded, standing in place, eyes wide in shock.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge; he simply couldn't.

His body felt as if it was pinned under a colossal cauldron, unable to move an inch.

Suppression!

The suppression of the Dragon King Technique.

The Dragon King Technique came from the Giant Dragon Clan and was a supreme Spiritual Technique of the clan.

It wasn't that Tang Rao was belittling himself, but in the hierarchy of beings, the Giant Dragon Clan truly stood a notch above humans.

Therefore, upon using the Dragon King Technique, it naturally produced a suppression.

Guan Zhendong's face had turned utterly pale, feeling the Grim Reaper looming over him, an unbearable sensation.

Was he about to die?
