C222: Heavenly Horse
The clan elder stood up angrily and scolded loudly: "Ah Yuan, what are you doing? "Hurry up and leave."
Ye Yuan did not budge, he stared straight at Tang Zheng and said: "Everyone said that Master Envoy's godly skills are unparalleled, that's why they wanted to ask Master Envoy for some advice."
"Nonsense, how can you challenge the lord emissary?" The elder said.
Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear and continued to stare at Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng sighed secretly. Although he was now a witch's messenger in name, there were probably a lot of people like Ye Yuan who were unconvinced of his power. Since he was determined to subdue this power, he would of course have to show his power.
Tang Zheng stood up and said: "I accept your challenge!"
The elder said: "Sir Envoy, Ah Yuan is still too young, he doesn't understand … …"
Tang Zheng waved his hand, signalling him to stop, and said: "Since he wants to challenge me, of course I will fight. But you just experienced a huge battle, shouldn't you rest first?"
"No need, this little bit of battle is nothing at all." Ye Yuan promised sincerely.
Tang Zheng laughed, and then walked to the center of the plaza, facing Ye Yuan face to face.
"As long as you defeat me, I will willingly submit to you. I will be your warrior for all your life, charging into battle for you." Ye Yuan said resolutely.
"Alright, remember your words and make your move."
Ye Yuan's movements were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, his huge fist had already arrived in front of Tang Zheng, and the air was suddenly compressed by a few hundred kilograms of strength, causing a muffled sound to ring out.
Tang Zheng did not move an inch as he punched, his movement was not fast, but before Ye Yuan's fist could strike his face, he protected it.
Boom! *
The two fists clashed, and the two of them simultaneously took a few steps back. Then, they heard Ye Yuan loudly shout, and with a swoosh, they were once again in front of Tang Zheng.
His boxing techniques were very simple, they were all straight punches. Using the shortest path to attack an opponent would not waste any effort. This was the essence of boxing techniques.
Those gaudy fist techniques looked good, but their might could not be compared with that of the most direct fist techniques.
Ye Yuan's fist technique was formed from fighting against beasts again and again, and was filled with killing intent.
Tang Zheng also gained inspiration from his opponent's punches, and gave up on unnecessary movements, going head on against him.
Thus, at the center of the square, the two of them punched after another, fist to fist, flesh to flesh. The air spread out in all directions, and the muffled sounds were like war drums, causing everyone's blood to boil.
Tang Zheng was overflowing with joy, he had never tried fighting with pure strength before, every fist of his had over a hundred kilograms of strength, he had truly experienced the power of the Witch Clan's Innate Strength, to actually be on par with him, a ninth stage Qi Refining Stage.
If they could cultivate it, then their strength would be even more impressive.
Ah Yuan's face had already turned red, the repeated collisions caused his blood to boil, he did not expect the other party's strength to not lose to his, but he was not afraid, on the contrary his blood was boiling, and his fighting spirit was high.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to win in this way, so he took the chance and threw out another punch. Seeing that Tang Zheng's fist had also come up to him, he suddenly changed his move and bent down to grab onto Tang Zheng's waist.
Boom! *
Tang Zheng's fist directly landed on his back. His body trembled, but he forcefully withstood it, and used some strength to hug Tang Zheng's waist.
"Whiz!"
Tang Zheng was sent flying like an arrow leaving the bow. While he was in the air, he had nowhere to borrow strength from, and there was no way to stop. All he could hear was the sound of the wind in his ears.
"Whiz!"
Another figure rushed out at an extremely fast speed. With a tap of his feet, he soared into the sky, both fists striking out towards Tang Zheng.
While Tang Zheng was in the air, he could only punch out subconsciously. However, he did not have any strength borrowed from others, so his punch was obviously not as powerful as before.
Therefore, with two muffled sounds, Tang Zheng flew back even faster and ruthlessly smashed onto the stone statue at the side of the plaza.
Tang Zheng felt like his back was falling apart, the impact this time was not easy, Ye Yuan was not simple. Seeing that he was about to fall down, he grabbed the stone statue's protrusion, and with a flip of his body, he stood in the palm of the stone statue.
This stone statue was raised up horizontally with one hand, and Tang Zheng coincidentally fell into its hands, looking down at Ye Yuan from above.
Plop!
With the sound of knees touching the ground, the Shamans kneeled down towards Tang Zheng. The stone statue was their guardian god, and they had been taught since young not to be disrespectful to the guardian god. Therefore, no one had ever dared to climb onto the body of the Guardian God.
However, by chance, Tang Zheng coincidentally stood in the hands of the Guardian God. That condescending look made him seem even more mysterious, causing people to unconsciously feel a sense of respect towards him, as if he was their guardian.
Tang Zheng seemed to understand their thoughts, he jumped down and dove towards Ye Yuan.
This time, Tang Zheng did not fly out again. Instead, he punched Ye Yuan on the chest. Ye Yuan's face turned red, he almost could not catch his breath, and quickly threw a punch out.
However, this fist was grabbed by Tang Zheng's big hand and with over a hundred kilograms of strength, it reached Tang Zheng's arm.
Tang Zheng endured the pain. Without slowing down, he brought Ye Yuan and crashed onto the hard ground of the plaza.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tang Zheng's fists landed on Ye Yuan's body like a storm. Ye Yuan wanted to retaliate, but Tang Zheng was faster than him in every punch, making him unable to retaliate at all. In the end, the only thing left of him was the part where he was hit.
However, his physique was strong. Even though he had taken so many punches, he wasn't fatal.
Bang!
With another punch, Ye Yuan coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Tang Zheng got up and floated backwards. Seeing Ye Yuan stagger to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Tang Zheng with mixed feelings.
He had always been unconvinced with Tang Zheng, but this battle had made him realize that he was far from being Tang Zheng's match. The witches worshipped the strong, and Ye Yuan, the person who had lived in the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains since he was young, worshipped the strong.
Since Tang Zheng had displayed his powerful strength, and was also the envoy's, he no longer had any thoughts of resisting. He was convinced and said sonorously: "Sir envoy, from today onwards, I, Ye Yuan, will be your warrior, and will not change even if I die."
Tang Zheng patted his shoulder and said: "Alright, I believe that you will become one of my most powerful Warriors in the future."
"Definitely!" Ye Yuan clenched his teeth, feeling extremely confident.
The thunderous applause and cheers shook the mountains and overturned the seas. The elder refused to walk over and looked at Ye Yuan with gratitude: "Now you know how powerful the envoy is right? In the future, we cannot offend you again. "
"Yes, Ye Yuan will remember that."
Mu Hongyan was dumbstruck. In her mind, she was still recalling the intense battle just now.
Although the Long family was also a martial arts family, she had never had the opportunity to witness such an intense confrontation. She focused more of her energy on her business.
This time, she felt Tang Zheng's strength even more clearly.
After the night passed by with different thoughts from different people, Tang Zheng felt too embarrassed to sleep in the same bed as Mu Hongyan anymore. The Witch Clan had prepared the best room for him to live in.
After dawn, Tang Zheng had breakfast and welcomed the elders and Ye Yuan. Today, he was going to the Sacred Grounds to find a way to remove the restrictions.
"I'm ready. Let's go." Tang Zheng stood up and said while carrying the War Soul Sword.
The elder nodded his head: "There is still some distance between the Sacred Grounds, so Ah Yuan and I are the only ones accompanying the envoy today."
When the few of them went out, they found Mu Hongyan standing at the door next to them, staring straight at them.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Hongyan took a deep breath, feeling uneasy. Before, she would never feel this way about anyone, but now, facing Tang Zheng, she couldn't help but feel this way.
"Can I come with you?" She gradually became interested in this mysterious Witch clan. Actually, a strong woman like her had a spirit of adventure.
This kind of adventurous spirit used to manifest itself in the business world. Now that she was in this vast Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, her adventurous spirit was assimilated into this piece of land.
Moreover, she also didn't want to leave Tang Zheng. Even though no one here would harm her, she had a sort of subconscious attachment to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the elders, the elders meeting, nodded his head and said: "Yes, we can protect her."
Since the elder had said so, then Tang Zheng had no objections either: "Then come with us."
Mu Hongyan was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth curled up, his expression extremely flirtatious.
Four tall horses stood silently in the square. The tallest white horse was especially eye-catching. This horse had pure white fur and had a head full of arrogance.
The elder explained, "We will ride faster. We should be able to reach the Sacred Land by noon."
"I can't ride a horse." Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan spoke at the same time. Everyone in the city was used to travelling by car, how would they know how to ride horses?
The elder did not expect this, "Riding a horse is very simple, I believe the envoy will know when he sees it."
With that said, Ye Yuan mounted his horse and demonstrated his skills.
"This Heavenly Horse is Master's mount." The Elder pointed at the big white horse and said.
"Heavenly Horse?"
"That's right, the Heavenly Horse are one of the most precious mounts in the world. We, the Witch clan, have raised a few of them back then, but this is the only one that has been passed on. Only the Heavenly Horse is worthy of your honorable status. " The elder said, "This Heavenly Horse is still young and can only travel a thousand miles in a day. When it reaches adulthood, it will be able to fly freely and fight together with you, Sir."
Tang Zheng saw that his eyes were set on the Heavenly Horse, so he jumped up and sat on the back of the Heavenly Horse.
Hiss!
The Heaven Horse roared, its front hooves rising into the air, and its body almost standing straight up. Tang Zheng immediately grabbed onto the reins, both of his legs clamping onto the horse's abdomen, preventing himself from falling down.
The Heavenly Horse obviously did not like being ridden by others, they spread out their limbs and jumped around, wanting to throw Tang Zheng off. Tang Zheng was also stirred up to have a competitive heart, thinking that if he could not even tame one beast, then wouldn't he be a laughing stock?
The gigantic force caused the Heavenly Horse to feel pain, and it kept on hissing out, but the sound was getting weaker and weaker, until it finally quieted down. Only then did Tang Zheng let go of his hands and legs.
"Congratulations, master." The elder said.
Although she did not know how to ride a horse, she was, after all, a rich person. She had seen many people who raised horses, and those horses could not even be compared to the Heavenly Horse.
The elders also jumped onto their seats, and only Mu Hongyan herself did not dare to climb up. She did not have the same skill as Tang Zheng, so falling down would be bad for her.
Tang Zheng saw through her thoughts, extended a hand and said: "If you don't mind, then sit with me."
Mu Hongyan rejoiced and reached out to grab Tang Zheng's hand. He then felt himself flying then, steadily landing on the horse, she in front and Tang Zheng behind. Tang Zheng held onto the reins with both of his hands, protecting her in his arms.
