Chapter 674: Two Men of Unparalleled Brilliance
Time flew by and the day of the life-or-death duel had arrived in the blink of an eye. Only an hour remained before the match. Li Xiaofei finally emerged from his secluded training chamber, his expression radiant with confidence. After days of rigorous practice, he had finally mastered the Three Spears of Storm and Cloud.
Although he had yet to fully comprehend the final technique, Demon Suppression, he had grasped its basic form. It could now be seamlessly combined with the first two moves, Star Shatter and Void Annihilation.
“Greetings, Hall Master.”
Vice Hall Masters Huang Dinggou and Wang Shaowei, along with thirty Incense Masters under their command, stood outside the chamber and bowed respectfully.
The scene was quite imposing. Li Xiaofei nodded in acknowledgment.
Huang Dinggou stepped forward and spoke in a respectful tone, “The Gang Leader has already gone ahead to Jiuyang Tower. He ordered us to escort you there immediately upon your emergence.”
Li Xiaofei’s gaze swept over Huang Dinggou, and suddenly, he frowned.
“Today is the day I make my name known. Why are you dressed in rags?”
His tone carried a hint of displeasure. Huang Dinggou was wearing a patched-up outfit. Though it was clean, it was clearly old and worn.
Had this idiot lost his mind? Was he trying to make some kind of statement by dressing humbly on such an important day? Could he have been embezzling Red Shield Hall’s funds all this time?
He had heard that many top-tier corrupt officials liked to present themselves as humble and frugal, dressing in tattered clothes to cultivate the illusion of integrity while secretly hoarding wealth.
