Chapter 666: If You Dare, Bring It On
Seeing so many people behind him, Sun Kuangjiang displayed a proud smile on his face.
Especially since Rui Zong was also present, it made Sun Kuangjiang even more delighted. He is a genius who has comprehended four chapters of the Kao Shan Heart Method. It seems he will continue to hold the title of being the foremost among the branches.
"Fifty-eight people, not bad; in my Gold Sect, they will surely rise rapidly," Sun Kuangjiang shouted loudly.
"Brother Tang, aren't we joining the Gold Sect? Sun Kuangjiang is the strongest among the five branches; his Gold Sect has always been the leader of the five," Lu Jun said to Tang Rao.
"I hate it when people are full of themselves, and besides, that idiot from Rui Zong is there, I don't want to see his face all the time; I'm afraid stupidity is contagious..." Tang Rao responded.
Hearing Tang Rao's words, Lu Jun covered his mouth, laughing so hard he almost couldn't straighten his back.
Following the Gold Sect were the Fire Sect, Wood Sect, and Water Sect, which recruited approximately 15, 14, and 13 people respectively.
Yes, there are still two people left unselected: Tang Rao and Lu Jun.
And at this moment, only the Earth Sect was left.
"Tang Rao, it seems we are truly fated," stood out Niu Ben, yes, he is an elder of Kao Shan Sect, and also the Sect Leader of the Earth Sect.
Among the five branches, the Earth Sect is the worst, how bad is it? Well, the last time someone chose the Earth Sect was thirty years ago.
Kao Shan Sect recruits new members once every three years, which means that for ten consecutive times, no one has chosen Earth Sect.
The Earth Sect has always been dispensable among the five branches.
In fact, some people don't even know that the Earth Sect exists; its presence is really too insignificant.
Of course, it could also be because the name sounds too unappealing...
Earth Sect... truly sounds dull.
"Yes, Elder Niu Ben, we indeed seem to have a strong connection," Tang Rao said with a smile. He actually intended to join the Earth Sect purposely because he heard from Lu Jun that it has been thirty years since anyone chose Earth Sect.
In that case, there should be very few people in the Earth Sect, and it would be very quiet, which he prefers.
"Do you know that the Earth Sect has few people?" Niu Ben asked.
"I know," Tang Rao nodded.
"What about you?" Niu Ben looked at Lu Jun.
"Wherever Brother Tang goes, I'll follow," Lu Jun said earnestly.
Many cultivators around them laughed, obviously not in a kind way.
"Really two idiots."
"Exactly, joining the Earth Sect, truly brain-dead."
"I heard that this Tang Rao was even promoted from the lower realm."
"I've heard too, transparent energy circle, simply trash that makes people despair, haha!"
Many people laughed loudly.
Lu Jun glared at these people.
As for Tang Rao, he still had an indifferent expression.
"Brother Tang, these people are too hateful," Lu Jun said, looking quite furious.
"In the nine realms and seventy-two domains, there's a saying: it's endless fun to compete with heaven, with earth, with people, and with idiots: if you do, then you're also an idiot," Tang Rao said casually.
He didn't want to offend anyone, but if others bullied him to this extent and he didn't retaliate, then he wouldn't be Tang Rao.
Jokingly, if anyone dared to contradict me in the nine realms and seventy-two domains, I'd teach them a lesson in minutes.
Clearly, everyone was agitated by Tang Rao's statement, all looking very excited.
"What the hell are you saying?"
"A trash from the lower realm trying to court death!"
"Come out if you dare, I'll teach you some manners today!"
"Nobody fight me for this, I'm gonna finish him off!"
Many cultivators shouted aloud, pointing at Tang Rao with a look of wanting him dead.
"Okay, wanna fight, huh? Come on, I'm standing right here!" Tang Rao stepped forward, "My dad is at least a third-level Earth Immortal, and you lot are just trash. The strongest among you is just that Rui Zong, a mere fourth-level Earth Immortal.
I'll tell you, I, Tang Rao, was born to fight. You think being one level higher is something? I'll still beat you till you call me daddy.
"Damn, I can't not take this fight now. Sect Leader, Geng Li asks to fight!" A burly man jumped out and said to He Kaoshan.
He Kaoshan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Granted."
"Tang Rao, right? Today I..."
Boom!
Before Geng Li could finish his words, Tang Rao charged forward, swinging his fist and slammed it into Geng Li's face.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Geng Li screamed and flew backward, feeling like his entire face had been smashed in by a centimeter.
Everyone was shocked, nobody expected Tang Rao to be so violent.
"If we fight, we fight, I hate it when someone keeps blabbering." Tang Rao snorted coldly, a ninth-level human immortal thinking he can conquer the world, what a joke.
Geng Li's strength was known to many—he was indeed a ninth-level human immortal. Among the hundred-plus people who entered the sect, he was considered very strong, yet he was taken down by Tang Rao with just one punch.
Could it be that Tang Rao has already advanced to Earth Immortal? Wasn't he just promoted from the lower realm? How could he have advanced so quickly?
"Hmph, it looks like you had embedded yourself in the lower realm for quite a while before advancing, relying on the power of the Energy Circle to become an Earth Immortal, right?" Another person stood up, looking flamboyant with a Longsword in hand and his hair flowing.
Tang Rao did not answer; he never deigned to reply to such trivial questions.
"Are we fighting or not?" Tang Rao asked.
"Idiot!" The flamboyant youth sneered, "Sect Leader, Han Jianfeng asks for a fight."
"Granted!" He Kaoshan nodded.
Then, He Kaoshan developed some interest in Tang Rao, surprised that he had entered the Earth Immortal Realm. What puzzled him even more was that he couldn't discern Tang Rao's strength.
Nonsense, with Li Shengxuan's Divine Sense still inside Tang Rao, it would be strange if He Kaoshan, with his little power, could see through it.
"One sword strike, if you can handle my one strike, I'll consider it my loss!" Han Jianfeng said to Tang Rao.
Tang Rao: Hmph…
What's wrong with this Land of Immortals, why are there so many idiots?
Alright, let me straighten things out for you.
Just like before, Tang Rao didn't waste words, charged forward, swung his arms in a giant circle.
Then, he launched his attack.
Han Jianfeng tried to draw his sword, but soon he realized something was off. Every angle seemed to be blocked.
Moreover, Tang Rao's speed was so fast, all he could see were afterimages.
Tang Rao's strength was above his own!
How is this possible!
He is a second-level Earth Immortal, who came up from the lower realms by most accounts as a ninth-level human immortal. It was already rare enough that he could advance to Earth Immortal using the power of the Energy Circle, could it be that he jumped levels directly to second-level Earth Immortal?
But even if it was second-level Earth Immortal, there shouldn't be any suppression, third-level Earth Immortal then?
What the hell, wasn't he just an ordinary Energy Circle?
Boom!
In the end, Han Jianfeng couldn't draw his sword, and his fate was similar to Geng Li's, struck in the face by a powerful punch from Tang Rao and then flung out, drawing a beautiful arc through the air.
