I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 663: Chapter 659: Final Battle (19)

The young Wind Media representative that specifically works by the book vehemently voiced his stance. While they had made concessions for some killings which resulted in unknown circumstances, they would certainly not back off from injuries that could definitely be cured. “Listen to me, Mr. Zhou Shun, the Mi Clan have plenty of medicinal herbs that could heal any wounds not immediately fatal by the next day. I simply can’t count this as your kill!”

“Bullshit!” Zhou Shun frowned and retorted discontentedly: “To heal a transcended mortal with top quality spirit herbs, do you think I’m ignorant? Count it, count it!”

The accomplishment of his team at Mount Fuling was quite decent, and they could take at least two million Jin of grain back. The reason he was so particular was because everyone else had at least twenty kills, while he only had sixteen, therefore he naturally wanted to debate about it further. Besides, he didn’t believe that the Mi Clan would use precious herbs worth tens to hundreds of millions simply to heal any transcended mortal.

The young Wind Media representative’s face turned crimson with frustration. He felt that the man before him may have powerful abilities, but his petty-mindedness was something not even the finest fur could cover. Just when he was about to argue back, he heard a familiar voice from the entrance, and turned his head. It was Clan Head Tang Zhi, entering the hall surrounded by Martial Ancestors.

“I think Master Zhou is right. Since the warrior has already lost his fighting ability due to severing his meridians and blood vessels, it should be counted. Write it down, write it down!” Tang Zhi jumped in, addressing the young Wind Media representative with a smile.

With the clan head giving the order, there was nothing the Wind Media representative could do but unwillingly change the number next to Zhou Shun’s name on the list of Mount Fuling’s accomplishments to twenty-eight.

Seeing the number being corrected, Zhou Shun grinned from ear to ear, and turned to Tang Zhi, saying, “Ah! That’s more like it. Finally, someone sensible. I don’t know which city or faction you are from, brother, but if you ever come to Mount Fuling again, I, Old Zhou, will host a gathering and make sure we have a good drink!”

Zhou Shun’s impression of Tang Zhi soared, not only because he managed to save face, but also gained more grain. He even forgot to question why Tang Zhi, a member of the Tang Clan, was able to make orders to the Wind Media. The other side reluctantly accepted, with a forced smile on his face.

At this point, Zhou Shun thought Tang Zhi was reasonable and very much on the same wavelength as him, a friend worth having!

Only when he saw Tang Zuo, who was seated in the second place, walk over to that man and bow, addressing him as Clan Head, did Zhou Shun’s face turn beet red.

“The man who came is actually the Clan Head of the Tang Clan!” Zhou Shun’s heart thudded. He felt utterly embarrassed.

Although he had heard about this person from Tang Zuo, in his mind the Clan Head of a powerful clan like the Tang Clan must be an venerable elder. Yet, to his surprise, he turned out to be a relatively young man.

Thinking back, he now realized his haggling with the young Wind Media had been fully seen by this man. Although the Zhou Clan of Fuling and the Tang Clan of Xiling were incomparable, as clan heads, their statuses were equivalent. However, because of his actions just now, he felt he had unnecessarily belittled himself, and he stood there, rigid, unable to move.

Meanwhile, having exchanged greetings with Tang Zuo, Tang Zhi timely turned and widely smiled, accepting Zhou Shun’s earlier invitation: “I’m Tang Zhi, the incompetent Tang Clan Head. Meeting Brother Zhou today is a fortunate event. I’ve long heard about the talented individuals and the unique land of Fuling City, especially the renowned Sanghua liquor, known across Longzhou. Once the matter here is settled, I will no doubt visit. Brother Zhou, don’t pretend not to know me then.”

If what Tang Zhi did earlier was taken as the charity of a powerful clan leader, then his performance now was starting to astonish everyone around.

Putting oneself in his shoes, if they were the leaders of the Tang Clan, accepting a petty clan leader’s invitation with a smile was considered being humble. Yet, Tang Zhi accepted the invitation so naturally that it caused people to mistake Zhou Shun as the Clan Head of Tang Clan.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Even Zhou Shun himself did not expect Tang Zhi to be so affable. It took a couple of nudges from Wu Guang, standing next to him, to get him to hurriedly respond: “How could I forget? When the time comes, I will definitely bring out the best Sanghua liquor from Fuling City. You and I, Brother Tang, will not stop until we’re drunk.”

“Then it’s a deal.” Tang Zhi nodded and walked to the main seat in the hall of the Martial Hall. He turned to the crowd and said: “I, Tang Zhi, on behalf of everyone in the Tang Clan, would like to express our deepest gratitude for your assistance during this crisis. I will remember this kindness and favor in my heart!”

With these words, Tang Zhi gave a profound bow. The group of top Martial Ancestors who had ascended the stage with the Tang Clan, seeing their Clan Head bow, had no choice but to follow suit.

Even though everyone was clear that the major reason for this separate attack was to earn more grain, they couldn’t help but feel somewhat triumphant being flattered by Tang Zhi like this.

Everyone gives face to one other. The crowd was naturally more cordial, having been shown such respect by the Clan Head of the Tang Clan. They all spoke out, advising Tang Zhi to get up quickly.

Fortunately, Tang Zhi didn’t overdo his act. As soon as he finished his ritual, he stood up and got straight to the point: “I’m aware that Captain Zuo has promised you all that profits will be calculated based on the number of warriors killed, with some teams already having achieved over ten million jin of grain. However, several teams did not achieve much due to the fast reinforcement of Mi Clan’s troops, which left them with limited time to fight.”

At Tang Zhi’s words, there was a cry of surprise across the hall. Even the group from Mount Fuling, who thought they had done well, looked at each other in disbelief. They had killed over two million jin and had originally thought this was already a decent accomplishment, but it turned out that some had already reached the standard of ten million jin.

This meant that that team killed over a thousand transcended mortals and may have even killed fierce warriors of the United Army.

The fierce warriors in the hall turned their heads and searched, finally identifying several clans with proud smiles – the Cui family of Lanshan City, the Ma family of Andong City, and the Yang family of Qutang City.

No wonder. Recognition dawned upon them. The major families were ones that owned a Xuan-level Joint Attack. This power was nearly overwhelming when faced with a cross-boundary opponent. If used correctly, a round of joint attack could take away the lives of hundreds of transcended mortals.

If it were these families, then it made sense. The other warriors in the hall understood.

To say they were not envious would be a lie, but who could help it if the other party possessed a Xuan-level Joint Attack? In the current era of martial arts, which was dominated by transcended mortals, this power was almost decisive.

“As far as I know, you all came to Xiling on your own to fight and didn’t bring any servants with you. I imagine it would be inconvenient for you to move so many resources. If you trust me, the Tang Clan can arrange ice boats to transport the grain to your clans’ territories. Would that be acceptable?”

It couldn’t be any better! The smiles on the fierce warriors in the hall were beaming. They had just been worrying about how to transport so many grains, and the problem was solved in a blink of an eye.

Truly, the Tang Clan was incomparable in its beneficence. If they just had a good impression of Tang Zhi before, then by now their feelings for him had reached their peak.

“The matter of transporting the grains will be taken over by Captain Zuo. Now, I would like to talk to you about why I invited you all to North Mountain.”
