159: Battle of the Warriors
"Have you found the location of the murderer?"
Leaving Luofeng City, the Eagle-browed Old Man looked at a trembling Two-Star Martial Artist.
The Two-Star Martial Artist subconsciously shrank his neck, seemingly somewhat fearful of the Eagle-browed Old Man's gaze.
"It... it is in the Wilderness Plains."
The Eagle-browed Old Man took out his phone and used satellite positioning to locate the Wilderness Plains.
"Good. If things are truly as you say, there will be a heavy reward after the matter is done!"
The Eagle-browed Old Man grabbed the Two-Star Martial Artist and flew toward the Wilderness Plains.
"If I discover that you have deceived me, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Hearing this, the Two-Star Martial Artist shuddered violently.
He had heard that a big shot from Hanghai was investigating a powerful murderer.
In order to obtain enough Cultivate resources, he directly linked an unknown Martial Master who had been slaughtering wantonly in the wild to the murderer.
Given the hatred between the two, they would likely start fighting without a word.
By then, naturally no one would scrutinize his lies.
But when the moment arrived, he ultimately felt fearful that the matter would be exposed.
...
The Wilderness Plains.
Li Canglan was stepping on the corpse of an ape as large as a small hill.
In his hand, he held a thigh that had just finished roasting, sprinkled with cumin and various spices, and was feasting heartily.
"The energy contained in the corpses of these Demonic Beasts is still too little."
For the original Li Canglan, this energy was considered quite good.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
With the Dragon skull as a superior example, this Demonic Beast meat seemed like trash.
However, Li Canglan was not just doing this for the energy contained in the Demonic Beast meat.
It was also to have a full meal.
Just then, a series of sonic booms tearing through the air suddenly came from the forest in the distance.
A moment later, the Eagle-browed Old Man landed slowly, carrying a Martial Artist who was foaming at the mouth.
"Is it him?"
The Eagle-browed Old Man threw the retching Two-Star Martial Artist to the ground and pointed at Li Canglan, who was still eating.
He recognized at a glance that what Li Canglan was stepping on was a Five-Star Demonic Beast!
A Martial Master capable of killing such a powerful Demonic Beast certainly wouldn't be weak.
Coupled with the fact that Hanghai Martial Arts Academy students like Zhu Yufang and Zhou Xinyang had not a single one escape the clutches of death.
Ordinary Martial Masters all held important positions in the major urban districts.
Who would come to such a far place for no reason just to hunt Demonic Beasts?
The energy in this little bit of Demonic Beast meat was basically next to nothing for a Martial Master.
When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.
The Eagle-browed Old Man immediately made a preliminary judgment that the other party was highly likely connected to the murderer.
"It... it is him."
The Two-Star Martial Artist was already dizzy and hadn't even clearly seen Li Canglan's appearance, yet he hurriedly identified him as the murderer.
The speed at which the old man had flown just now was too fast; it was simply not something a Two-Star Martial Artist like him could withstand.
The Eagle-browed Old Man's gaze, like a hawk's, stared fixedly at Li Canglan, his aura erupting.
His full strength as a Six-Star Martial Master was revealed without a doubt.
"The students of my Hanghai Academy had no grievances with Your Excellency; why did Your Excellency slaughter the Juniors of my academy?"
Although Li Canglan's face after his disguise appeared young, the Eagle-browed Old Man would not mistake him for a young person.
If his age were truly similar to his appearance.
A twenty or thirty-year-old Five-Star Martial Master would inevitably stir up a storm in the Shenxia Country martial arts world.
Even the chairman of the Shenxia Country Martial Arts Association would likely meet with or even Cultivate the other party personally!
Such a young Five-Star Martial Master should not be unknown in this small city.
In all likelihood, the other party just happened to look young.
Hearing this, Li Canglan felt a slight shock in his heart.
He had clearly investigated the surroundings at the time, and no suspicious Martial Artist had passed by.
Even if he had left any clues behind, after so much time, they should have long been cleaned up completely by Demonic Beasts.
The most critical point was that Li Canglan, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He would change his appearance every time he left the city.
Plus, he had been unkempt while in the wild during this period.
Li Canglan's appearance now could be said to be completely different from a month ago.
Even if Uncle He were here, he might not be able to recognize Li Canglan.
However, although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face at all.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
After saying this, Li Canglan put away the ape corpse and prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait a moment!"
The moment the Eagle-browed Old Man shouted in a low voice, a fangtian halberd suddenly appeared in Li Canglan's hand.
The blade of the halberd was covered with a piercing, cold glint.
It stung the eyes of the nearby Two-Star Martial Artist, making it impossible for him to open them.
Li Canglan's body suddenly surged, turning into an afterimage, appearing instantly behind the Eagle-browed Old Man.
Giant Spirit Sky-Breaking Force combined with the miraculous Thunderbolt Slash, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, pierced toward the Eagle-browed Old Man's back.
Although the old man had anticipated this, he was still shocked by Li Canglan's terrifying speed.
He hadn't even reacted before he was approached by Li Canglan.
Just as the fangtian halberd was about to pierce the Eagle-browed Old Man's back.
The old man's body suddenly shone with brilliant light.
The terrifying impact sent Li Canglan flying backward.
The Eagle-browed Old Man's gaze was gloomy, and he was filled with lingering fear.
If not for his protective treasure, he would likely have been severely injured by that strike just now.
Li Canglan felt a sweetness in his throat and swallowed down the surging blood.
Immediately after, he tapped his toes and, not giving the Eagle-browed Old Man any chance to react, charged up again.
The Eagle-browed Old Man was still shocked in his heart that such a powerful expert could exist in this small place.
Hearing the sharp whistling sound in front of him, his expression changed slightly.
The old man took out a nine-section long whip, which cracked loudly in the air.
The halberd and whip collided continuously in the forest.
Almost instantly, they flattened the forest within a radius of a thousand meters.
The Two-Star Martial Artist lying on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying dozens of meters away by the shockwave.
He struggled to climb to his feet, watching the battle in the sky in the distance, amazed by the superhuman display!
The aftermath of the two's battle blocked the Two-Star Martial Artist's line of sight.
Making him unable to tell for a moment who had the upper hand.
The desire for survival from the depths of his Soul urged him to leave quickly.
But the longing for resources made him stay in place.
What if, what if the Eagle-browed Old Man won?
What awaited him would be a massive amount of resources!
At that time, he would also have hope of becoming a Three-Star Martial Artist.
In Luofeng City, even if he couldn't be a king or hegemon, he could at least be a superior person!
His status would be far incomparable to what it is now!
And all he had to do was wait here.
The battle in the air.
The Eagle-browed Old Man lashed out with his whip into the distance, but it struck only air.
Li Canglan's ghost-like figure weaved and appeared behind him, thrusting his halberd out.
The Eagle-browed Old Man parried in a rush, but was struck and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The look of horror on the old man's face hadn't stopped since the moment the battle began!
He could feel that the other party's aura was only around Five-star, a notch weaker than his own.
But whether it was strength or speed.
It was actually enough to crush him!
Where on earth did this Prodigy pop out from?
