Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 243: Softhearted
In the valley, the sound of fighting continued.

It was quiet outside the valley.

Zhou Leng took one medicine after another, drank up all the tiger-patterned bamboo water, glanced in the direction of the valley, then looked towards the place where the devil's roar came from, and fled away.

Not long after, a humanoid demon with a crow's head and a two-foot-long white beak came and walked in front of Tian Wenhu's remains.

It was three meters tall, with twelve bone spears on its back. The surface of each bone spear was covered with black feathers, just like its body.

The Crow Man Messenger, a congenital demon.

The Crow Man messenger looked in the direction of Zhou Leng and was about to chase after him, but suddenly he sensed an unusual breath, so he stopped and looked around carefully.

After a long while, he frowned and gave up the chase.

"Madam Xiyan's aura... hm?"

He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

Two innate warriors stepped forward.

"Where is Zhou Leng?"

One innate warrior attacked the Crow Man messenger, and the other rushed towards the valley.

After Zhou Leng ran away, he burned his clothes with potion, changed into new clothes, and re-sprayed deodorant and other potions, constantly changing directions to eliminate all possible hidden dangers.

After the sun rose, they headed towards the Xue family's mine.

My legs were numb and itchy, and my bones were recovering at an extremely fast speed, causing my gait to be slightly deformed.

Xuejia Mine.

Rao Mingxian walked towards Xue Chengsong with a smile on his face.

The sunlight shone on Rao Mingxian, and his skin turned a light jade color.

Xue Chengsong was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "You have reached the early stage of vitality?"

Rao Mingxian smiled slightly, and although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide his smugness.

"Awesome." Xue Chengsong praised.

"Where is Zhou Leng?" Rao Mingxian looked around.

"It hasn't arrived yet, but it will probably be here soon." Xue Chengsong said.

"How are the preparations going..."

The two of them started chatting slowly.

As they chatted, they talked about Zhou Leng.

Xue Chengsong said with emotion: "Zhou Leng has also been promoted to the Shengli Stage. You two have great opportunities."

Rao Mingxian shook his head and said, "I am probably much worse than him. We are at a similar level, but my basic skills and combat abilities are poor."

"He can't really beat the late stage of Shengli, right? That's almost equivalent to Shanheyuan, the real first tier in the world." Xue Chengsong said.

Rao Mingxian said: "If he says he can, he must be able to do it. If it is Zhang Xinglie, do you believe it?"

"letter."

"Now let's change to Zhou Leng. Same thing."

Xue Chengsong said: "When I first met Zhou Leng, he was just a little genius. I didn't expect that he would grow so fast in just over half a year. Before, he didn't have any elixirs, his body was not strong enough, and he had many shortcomings. But now, he has no shortcomings at all, and he should be promoted to the first echelon of freshmen soon."

Rao Mingxian sighed and said, "Indeed, he is good at everything, but have you noticed that he is too soft-hearted?"

Xue Chengsong thought about it, nodded, and said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. He should have some chivalrous spirit, for example, he tries not to use heavy hands when sparring, and when facing the challenge of the Dragon people, he usually only fights cleverly instead of fighting. By the way, he is an external dispatch, so he advocates internal unity and reduces internal fighting."

Rao Mingxian shook his head and said, "I don't agree with his view of internal unity. Some people only believe in fists. If you don't beat them into submission with fists, it will cause endless troubles. When I was a child, I was a living example."

Xue Chengsong said: "Maybe everyone has their own way of dealing with it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if all warriors are like Zhou Leng, there will be fewer disputes. This is good news for us weak warriors and ordinary people. If all warriors are so brave and aggressive, it will be a purgatory for ordinary people. You know what happened in those small countries."

"I don't agree with this statement. Zhou Leng is different from us. He has talent and ability, and is destined to become stronger. He must be decisive and ruthless. If he is always so soft-hearted, he will easily suffer."

Xue Chengsong said: "I support you from this perspective. Next time we drink, let's try to persuade him."

"it is good."

"Hmm? Zhou Leng is here."

They both looked outside the door and saw Zhou Leng slowly walking in, his right leg a little unsteady.

The two men's expressions changed slightly. They had both seen how strong Zhou Leng was.

No matter how big the wound was, it would not cause him to have difficulty in moving. It must have injured his meridians or bones.

The two of them hurried over.

"What's wrong? Do you need treatment?" Rao Mingxian asked loudly.

Zhou Leng said: "I encountered a few vitality demons and fought hard for a while, but it was nothing."

The two of them carefully observed Zhou Leng's exposed hands and other parts, and were secretly shocked.

With Zhou Leng's body, if it was just a minor injury, the blood clot would be dissolved in a few minutes.

But now my hands are slightly swollen. Even if I keep hitting them with rocks, the swelling won't last this long.

Since Zhou Leng didn't elaborate, the two didn't ask any more questions and just chatted briefly.

Zhou Leng hadn't eaten yet, so the three of them went directly to the mine cafeteria to have breakfast.

After dinner, the three of them rested for a while before walking out.

After walking out of the cafeteria, a group of people hurried back, some with gloomy faces, while others looked happy.

Many people nearby stopped what they were doing and looked over.

This team of people is a small team that goes out to gather information.

Xue Chengsong asked loudly: "What's wrong?"

One of them came over and the others walked towards Xue Tongming's office.

The man whispered, "Master Xue, something big has happened."

"What happened?" "We set out in the early morning and headed straight for Tian Wenhu's mine to gather intelligence, but halfway through, we encountered a human innate major fighting with an innate demon."

"How dare we take action? We hide in the dark."

"Finally, the demon ran away. The captain happened to have seen the innate master, who was the son of the boss's friend, so he ran out to ask what was going on."

"Then we follow that innate master into the valley inside."

"I won't go into the details. After we went in, we found out that the madman Tian Wenhu actually sacrificed his own people in order to ascend to the Devil Innate."

"Then, some expert from nowhere interrupted the demon raising ceremony, killed Tian Wenhu, and escaped with serious injuries."

"In the end, the two innates cleared the demons in the valley and saved dozens of people."

Zhou Leng listened expressionlessly.

Xue Chengsong asked: "Who is the mysterious master who killed Tian Wenhu?"

The man shook his head.

"Two innate masters don't know either?"

The man said, "The two people... seemed a little strange. They investigated the scene and asked about all the moves of the mysterious master. They learned that there were Bagua Step, Dielang Palm, Feiyun Leg and Chongshan Fist, etc. Then they issued a gag order, forbidding us to talk about the mysterious master."

Xue Chengsong asked: "What did the mysterious master say? Is there any other information?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "They didn't say... Oh, by the way, they asked us at the beginning if we had seen Zhou Leng, but we didn't recognize him."

Zhou Leng's mouth twitched. How could this guy speak so quickly?

Xue Chengsong and Rao Mingxian turned their heads together and stared at Zhou Leng blankly.

Then, he looked at Zhou Leng's injured leg and swollen fists.

Zhou said calmly, "It could be a coincidence. Two military masters were looking for me and were just passing by. Tian Wenhu was probably killed by other masters."

Xue Chengsong and Rao Mingxian were speechless for a long time. Finally, Xue Chengsong nodded helplessly, glanced at the man, and said, "Remember, from now on, just say that it was an unknown innate master who killed Tian Wenhu. Do you hear me?"

"Ah? Yes." The man looked at Xue Chengsong and Zhou Leng in confusion. He simply didn't believe that such a young person could have killed Tian Wenhu.

"You should return to the team."

"Yes." The man said and walked away quickly.

"We understand. This matter has nothing to do with you," Xue Chengsong said.

Zhou Leng said: "It has nothing to do with me."

Rao Mingxian stared at Zhou Leng with a dim gaze. His mouth moved slightly several times, but he was unable to speak for a long time.

Xue Chengsong said: "From now on, we won't dare to say that you are soft-hearted." As he said that, he glanced at Rao Mingxian.

Zhou Leng sighed and said, "It seems you have misunderstood. I have always been kind and lenient."

"Heh..." The two of them sneered.

At this time, Xue Tongming hurried out with a large group of people.

"Get in the car, go to Tian Wenhu's mine, and kill all of them!"

"Everyone gather!"

Everyone ran towards the car.

Xue Tongming glanced at everyone and saw Zhou Leng. A strange look flashed across his face and he ran over quickly. At the same time, he carefully observed Zhou Leng's body. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

He ran closer and said with a smile: "Zhou Leng, are you injured? You stay at the base to recover. Cheng Song, you also stay here to accompany Zhou Leng."

"Okay." Xue Chengsong nodded.

Xue Tongming looked at Zhou Leng again and said, "If you have any request, just tell Xue Chengsong. You won this mine. We are family, so don't be shy to ask."

"Okay." Zhou Leng said.

"Then I'll leave first. You stay here and wait for news."

Xue Tongming led a group of people in the vitality stage and body refining stage, as well as a large number of people in the blood transportation stage holding magic bows and crossbows, and they got on cars and sped away.

Xue Chengsong and Rao Mingxian looked at each other, and it was obvious that Xue Tongming had guessed it as well.

The two looked at Zhou Leng, who still had a calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Rao Mingxian suddenly laughed happily, like a child, and said, "This makes me feel relieved."

Xue Chengsong nodded gently, feeling mixed emotions.

The three of them found a room, chatted for a while, got a deck of cards, and started playing Landlord.

At noon, the convoy returned.

Xue Chengsong glanced at his phone, looked up at Zhou Leng, and put down the poker.

"My dad and the others are back. I'll take a look first and tell you what's going on when I come back."

"it is good."

The two stayed in the room and chatted.

Xue Chengsong walked quickly into his father's office, where a large number of warriors in the vitality stage were standing or sitting.

Seeing Xue Chengsong coming in, these usually unruly warriors actually smiled amiably.

Xue Tongming stood up, said goodbye to everyone, put his arm around his son's shoulders and walked to the empty room next door.

"Dad, is it really Zhou Leng?" Xue Chengsong asked impatiently.

Xue Tongming said: "When we went there, one of the Xiantians was still in the valley. I had seen him several times before. He was a child of a friend of mine. I told him about your relationship with Zhou Leng and my cooperation with Zhou Leng, but he didn't say anything. Later, when I heard that Zhou Leng was safe here, he only said, don't forget to invite Zhou Leng to the celebration banquet."

"This is a hint at you." Xue Chengsong said.

"Do you know what else they said? They said that it was Brigade Commander Chen Shouhu who asked them to come find Zhou Leng."

"Chen Fenghu? The one who was once among the top ten innate masters and just got promoted to the master?" Xue Chengsong asked.
