Chapter 66

Lu Chengwen stopped Long Aotian: "Senior Brother, calm down!"

Long Aotian pushed Lu Chengwen away and instantly grabbed his neck with one hand: "You trash, don't call me Senior Brother! You don't deserve it!"

Lu Chengwen struggled to say: "You and I bowed to the master and became sworn brothers... Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know... If you kill me, you will be punished by heaven..."

Lu Chengwen felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, almost unable to speak. He saw Hu Xuening standing nearby, looking confused, and painfully managed to say: "Xuening... knows..."

Long Aotian glanced back and slowly released his grip.

Lu Chengwen gasped for air desperately.

Long Aotian fumed: "The old man is toying with me, he's toying with me."

"Is that so?" Lu Chengwen straightened up, panting: "He at least taught you three moves, and he didn't teach me anything."

Long Aotian clenched his fists, his hatred overwhelming, yet he was helpless.

He considered himself a righteous person and had made a solemn vow to heaven and earth. Breaking that vow and killing Lu Chengwen outright would leave him with a guilty conscience.

Moreover, the "Master" was in the cave. Executing a junior brother here would certainly lead to the master cleaning house.

Hun Tiangang's strength was unfathomable. Long Aotian couldn't even determine his exact level, but anyone who could keep him guessing must be at least a top-tier expert from one of the four major sects.

And not just an entry-level expert, but at least a mid-level or higher.

Such a master was rare even in all of China.

Long Aotian had been greedy, thinking that the old man would teach him some extraordinary martial arts. But in the end... it turned out to be just some basic techniques like "Oil Root," "Ahdu Root," and "Lai Gen Bu Lai Gen"!

Now, he hadn't learned anything and had sworn brotherhood with Lu Chengwen, making it even harder to kill him.

Lu Chengwen, on the other hand, had gained something.

Regardless of whether he learned anything, at least he had sworn brotherhood with Long Aotian. As a self-proclaimed righteous person, Long Aotian couldn't kill his sworn brother, right?

At the very least, it provided some protection, making Long Aotian think twice before killing him.

At that moment, the three of them heard a loud noise.

Then the sound of a fight broke out.

They exchanged glances and rushed toward the cave.

Just as they arrived, Lu Chengwen grabbed Long Aotian: "Senior Brother, wait."

They saw that the four subordinates of Iron Lump Wang had been knocked out, all unconscious.

Iron Lump Wang stood there, preparing to attack.

Hun Tiangang laughed: "A few low-tier brats dare to show off in front of me?"

Iron Lump Wang gritted his teeth: "Without the young master, I'm dead anyway. Today, I'll fight you to the death! Ah—!"

Hun Tiangang clasped his hands together, took a step back, and then pushed forward, shouting: "Wind and Thunder Surge!"

Iron Lump Wang almost wet his pants in fear.

He felt an overwhelming, visible energy wave rushing toward him!

He considered himself talented in martial arts, even among ancient martial artists. But so far, he could only convert his energy into physical force, not use it to attack from a distance!

Moreover, this old man, who looked like a beggar, was actually able to release visible energy waves!

How strong must he be!?

Iron Lump Wang had seen many things, but he had never seen anyone who could use such a move!

Iron Lump Wang's steps were disordered, and he relied entirely on instinct and his martial arts foundation to dodge. As he fell to the side, a huge rock behind him exploded!

Iron Lump Wang looked back, feeling his blood run cold.

Long Aotian, Lu Chengwen, and Hu Xuening all stood there with their mouths open, shocked, with the same expression.

Iron Lump Wang looked back at the old man, who seemed to be gathering his energy.

He gritted his teeth: "I'll fight! Dying at the hands of such a master is my fate!"

Iron Lump Wang leaped up and attacked from above.

Hun Tiangang opened his eyes, leaped up, and delivered a rising dragon punch, shouting: "Great Annihilation!"

Whoosh!

Lu Chengwen and the others felt a strong wind blow past their faces and covered themselves.

Hun Tiangang's punch didn't hit Iron Lump Wang, but the powerful energy shockwave alone sent him flying, unable to stand, and he fell to the ground.

Iron Lump Wang realized that the old man wasn't missing; he was deliberately not hitting him.

Iron Lump Wang's mind went blank.

Could such a master really exist in the world!?

Hun Tiangang smiled: "Boy, do you still want to fight?"

Iron Lump Wang's speech was slurred: "Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight..."

He wanted to say, "Fight my ass, I surrender," but he was so nervous that he could only say "fight."

"Good! You're a real man!"

Hun Tiangang shouted: "Destroy Heaven and Earth!"

Lu Chengwen realized this was "Lai Gen Bu Lai Gen"!

He rushed out: "Master, please show mercy!"

Hun Tiangang, hearing Lu Chengwen's shout, immediately redirected his spinning kick, sweeping it up the cliff.

With a loud boom, everyone felt the entire mountain shake slightly.

Iron Lump Wang sat on the ground, unable to speak.

Hun Tiangang had a problem; his spinning kick was stuck in the rock.

He tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge.

How embarrassing.

Lu Chengwen walked over and knelt: "Master, this Iron Lump Wang is one of my subordinates. Please spare his life."

Long Aotian was furious.

That's your subordinate? He's my subordinate!

Iron Lump Wang was moved to tears: "Thank you, young master, for saving my life!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Hun Tiangang: "Master, what are you..."

"Oh." Hun Tiangang pretended to do some stretching: "I... I'm stretching my legs."

Everyone squinted their eyes: If it's stuck, just say it's stuck. Pretending to stretch your legs is too childish.

Lu Chengwen coughed: "Then... we'll turn around, and you can stretch your legs. We'll turn back when you're done."

"Alright."

Lu Chengwen gestured, and Iron Lump Wang turned around, whispering: "Young master, this person is so strong! Is he your master?"

Lu Chengwen said: "Why did you fight him?"

"I asked if he had seen you, and he was all over the place. It made me angry."

Lu Chengwen was about to scold him when they heard Hun Tiangang struggling to pull his leg out.

He grunted and strained, but it wouldn't budge.

Lu Chengwen whispered: "If I hadn't come out in time, Master's 'Lai Gen Bu Lai Gen' kick would have killed you!"

"I know, I can see that your master is incredibly powerful. He's the highest level of martial arts I've ever seen."

"Stop flattering him. Don't leave, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, I'll do as you say, young master."

Hun Tiangang struggled for a while and finally said: "Uh... Chengwen, come here. Black giant, don't turn around, or I'll kill you with one palm!"

Iron Lump Wang quickly said: "No problem, old master, take your time stretching. I'll just stand here."

Lu Chengwen went over and hugged Hun Tiangang's leg. They pulled for a while, and Hun Tiangang, getting angry, struck the rock with his palm, creating a large hole.

Finally, it loosened, and they pulled hard, rolling out. The old man and Lu Chengwen rolled behind Iron Lump Wang.

Lu Chengwen helped Hun Tiangang stand up: "Master, those three moves you just showed were really amazing!"

"Amazing, right? I have many more skills!"

"Sure, sure."

Hun Tiangang asked: "Is this boy your subordinate?"

"Yes, yes..."

Iron Lump Wang immediately knelt: "Young master! You can't joke like that! I am yours in life and in death! I will follow your orders, and I swear to heaven that if I ever betray you, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

Lu Chengwen nodded: "He is now."

"Let him wait outside. You and Long Aotian come in with me."

Iron Lump Wang was surprised: "Long Aotian?"

Lu Chengwen said: "Be quiet."

Long Aotian walked in with a dark face, glaring at Iron Lump Wang, and followed Lu Chengwen into the cave.

Hun Tiangang sat down and sighed: "I just wanted to find a quiet place to be alone, but so many people came in one day. It's so annoying."

Long Aotian and Lu Chengwen quickly said: "It's our fault, please forgive us, Master."

"Forget it!" Hun Tiangang waved his hand: "We can't stay here. I'm moving to a new place. You two, who just joined my sect today, must be kind to each other and help each other. You must act righteously, save lives, and help the weak. You must stand up for justice. In short, you must do good and not evil. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

"Sure, sure!"

Long Aotian, who had seen the power of those three moves, was no longer不服 (unconvinced).

He smiled: "Master, I'll help you find a new place. It will be quiet and clean, and no one will disturb you."

Lu Chengwen thought:

[You just want to learn those moves in detail, don't you? Sneaky!]

Lu Chengwen quickly said: "Master, I have some wealth. I can provide you with a suburban villa, which will be quiet and clean, and no one will disturb you. If you need it, I can send people to serve you, prepare your meals, and clean for you."

Lu Chengwen felt proud.

[That's right, I'm rich!]

"No need!" Hun Tiangang said: "Now that you've joined my sect... Oh, I haven't even named it. How can I let you walk the world without a name? What will people ask when they ask which sect you belong to?"

Lu Chengwen and Long Aotian said together: "Please, Master, give us a name."

"Alright." Hun Tiangang thought for a long time: "The name of the sect must be powerful and awe-inspiring, with a sense of pride and strength, making people tremble at the mention of it, and making you proud to say it!"

"Sure, sure."

"I've got it!" Hun Tiangang slapped his thigh: "Look outside!"

"Today, we are founding a new sect, the first day of my establishment! The sun is shining brightly outside. How about we call our sect—Sunshine Gate! What do you think?"

Lu Chengwen's face turned green.

This... powerful and awe-inspiring!?

Pride and strength!?

Making people tremble!?

And making them proud!?

What a joke!
