Chapter 86 - 68: Frenzied Tiger’s Ferocious Roar Echoes for Twenty Miles, Conical Hat Guest Shatters the Long Street
The Piaoxiang Tower, usually bustling with patrons, was now completely deserted. At the street corner, several hundred martial cultivators had gathered. Among these cultivators, a small portion were Yin Talisman Sect members, likely subordinates of Steward Hu Shuo; the larger portion consisted of hundreds of elite Black Tiger Gang members. Both sides had already drawn their swords and were facing off at the street corner.
At the center of the street corner, Sima Liuyun stood before five Black Tiger Gang stewards. A cold smile played at the corner of his lips. "Steward Hu Shuo, he’s just an old man selling pancakes. Do you think the Black Tiger Gang can’t capture him? Besides, with your Mid-grade Third Layer cultivation, do you really think you can stop me, Sima Liuyun?"
Hu Shuo’s face turned crimson, his eye twitching, clearly a mix of shame and anger. "We both have Third Layer cultivation, who’s afraid of whom? As for that old man selling leek pancakes, he’s obviously just a commoner, without a shred of Martial Arts Cultivation. You’re recklessly arresting people, stirring up widespread resentment in Great Marsh Prefecture! I can’t control what happens elsewhere, but Yin Talisman Sect territory is no place for you to run wild!"
With that, Hu Shuo helped Old Zhang to his feet. "Old Zhang, don’t worry," he said. "Since you’ve paid the street protection fee to the Yin Talisman Sect, you’re safe! Hurry and leave this place!"
Old Zhang, the leek pancake seller, already pale with fright, trembled as he scrambled off into the distance.
But from behind him came Sima Liuyun’s voice, "Safe and sound, you say? I’m curious to see if you have the ability to keep him safe!"
His words had barely faded when a loud shout echoed from the street corner.
"Sima Liuyun, you’ve got some nerve, causing trouble in Yin Talisman Sect territory! Do you still remember how I thrashed you until you were crying for your parents back then?!"
With the loud shout, a figure shot through the air, swiftly leaping to the street corner and landing beside Hu Shuo. It was Ma Jiang, who had already activated his Wandering Dragon Exorcism Hand.
Seeing Ma Jiang approach with a murderous glint in his eyes, having already activated his famously formidable Wandering Dragon Exorcism Hand, Sima Liuyun’s face gradually darkened.
"It’s been three years. Today is different from the past, Ma Jiang. This time, it will be you crying to your parents!"
He pressed down slightly with his feet, circulating his Qi Blood. The Dragon-Defying Boots on his feet transformed, completely encasing his legs and feet!
