The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#462 - No fight, no acquaintance

Luo Hao, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader of China, the Leader of the Five Prison Sacred Sect, the Martial Arts King of Jiangnan, the one who reigns supreme at the pinnacle of martial arts.

She is a complete shut-in who rarely leaves her mountain. It is said that those who see her face will destroy their own eyes, and those who hear her voice will cripple their own ears.

In short, she is a ferocious demon.

Erica was quite worried, even suggesting they shouldn't go. However, Zun Zun had already decided to try. Unable to dissuade him, Erica could only helplessly send a visiting invitation.

But instead of a reply, they received a visit from an extremely handsome man to greet them.

It's just that this guy's face is currently bruised and swollen, making him look somewhat frightening.

"Ugh... uh...?"

Even his speech was slurred.

Zun Zun originally intended to ask the Shrine Maiden to heal him, but even this was rejected, as if doing so would subject him to immense punishment. He himself had to hold his jaw and adjust for a long time before he could speak clearly.

"I am Lu Yinghua, and I am here to welcome the King on the orders of my master."

He knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a fist.

Indeed, in ancient China, wealthy families had the custom of sending someone to receive guests after receiving a visiting card. However, I didn't expect to see it at this time, and is the person who came a bit...

"This was done by my master."

Zun Zun could clearly see the aggrieved and pitiful expression on Lu Yinghua's bruised and swollen face.

"You've suffered..."

He patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Yinghua is Luo Hao's disciple, a mouthpiece, and a punching bag.

This guy has been beaten by his master Luo Hao since he was a child, which has cultivated a dark and twisted personality with a strong aversion to women. He seems popular with girls, but he is very stubborn and twisted. He harbors particular hostility towards beautiful and capable women.

Specifically, it's Erica. He has an inexplicable and undisguised dislike for her, even in front of Zun Zun, the King.

If Zun Zun weren't male, he would probably have the same attitude.

In short, they quickly embarked on their journey to Mount Lu.

Along the way, Zun Zun was subtly trying to probe Luo Hao's thoughts through Lu Yinghua. However, it seemed that the terror of his master was deeply imprinted in his mind. As soon as the relevant matters were mentioned, he would break out in a cold sweat and tremble.

Look how scared the child is.

Zun Zun, sympathizing with him, ultimately did not ask too much. However, probably because Zun Zun seemed easier to talk to, Lu Yinghua finally broke through his psychological defenses and forcibly revealed that this request was very likely to succeed.

This is good news.

However, at the same time, Zun Zun was also very strange. That Martial Arts King didn't seem like someone who was easy to talk to.

In addition to this, Lu Yinghua also revealed a lot of things about martial arts.

"What you call magic, we call Qi. Does the King understand what this means?"

"Hmm... Martial arts = Kung Fu = Qi = Qigong?"

Due to Erica's fascination with kung fu movies, Zun Zun was also forced to absorb some unnecessary information.

"You're right." Lu Yinghua said with a smile, "Generally speaking, it is Qigong, but in martial arts, it is called internal energy. People with excellent internal energy will have powerful magic power wrapped around them. This is not only used in magic and sorcery, but can also be used in martial arts mysteries."

Just like Darkness consumes mana to use taunt skills?

"If you don't master internal energy of the same level as boxing and swordsmanship, you won't be able to learn profound martial arts mysteries. Similarly, the power of the martial arts you learn will also be greatly reduced."

"So, there are generally matching cultivation methods, right?"

"Huh?"

"I'm very clear about these things."

Lu Yinghua didn't seem to expect Zun Zun to understand these things, but he quickly nodded in realization. Seeing him like this, you know it's a misunderstanding. He must have thought that Zun Zun had understood it beforehand, but in fact, it was knowledge engraved on the soul.

It's like foreigners will never understand the jokes of Chinese people.

In short, Zun Zun also understood what Lu Yinghua secretly wanted to express, that is, never have a head-on conflict with his master.

Standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, the Martial Arts King, after becoming a Godslayer, possessing powerful martial arts and techniques, is a mobile tank with infinite attack power, infinite stamina, and infinite defense power. There are no opponents in head-on battles. Once approached... No, as long as a sufficient distance is not maintained, there is no chance of winning.

The three people who set off in the morning arrived at the foot of Mount Lu around noon.

There is a very spectacular building here.

It's a huge house... No, it should be called a city or palace, revealing a long history. Many people wearing Taoist robes are walking back and forth on the mountain.

Seeing such a scene again, I actually feel a little nostalgic and moved.

"King...?"

"It's nothing."

Lu Yinghua was a little strange about Zun Zun's nostalgic expression, only thinking that the other party had been here before, but on second thought, it seems that the time he became King is as new as his age?

The three bypassed the crowded main entrance.

I can't help but sigh, no matter which world, there are so many Chinese people. If you honestly line up to go up the mountain, I guess it will be dark before you reach Mount Lu.

Fortunately, there is a special passage.

"But I never expected that there would be a cable car."

Zun Zun looked at the modern things between the mountains and couldn't help but think, is this really not a scenic spot? By the way, does Leader Luo Hao allow such things to exist?

As if seeing his doubts, Lu Yinghua spread his hands and said, "Not everyone's lightness skill is very good. If it were me and the King, we definitely wouldn't need this, but someone is not necessarily."

"Oh, I seem to hear someone saying that my jumping ability is not good. In that case, do you want me to perform for you?"

"Actually demeaning lightness skill to jumping ability, Big Sister Erica, you have wasted your kung fu movies. I suggest you watch more martial arts dramas."

"In my opinion, there is no difference."

Erica retorted unwillingly.

Zun Zun also felt that it was a bit too much to regard lightness skill as jumping ability, but the essence of the two is the same when they reach a certain level.

In addition, the cable car is to provide convenience for other visitors, not deliberately targeting Erica.

Take the cable car and enjoy the scenery.

Then it's time to start climbing the mountain.

Probably because Luo Hao really hates modern things, the cable car only reaches halfway up the mountain, and the rest can only be climbed up with their legs.

Fortunately, the three of them have superhuman physical strength.

Arriving at the top of the mountain, there is nothing here... No, it's not quite right to say that. To be precise, except for a somewhat dilapidated but clean thatched cottage and a pavilion, there is nothing else.

It's like a place where reclusive experts live.

Considering Luo Hao's identity as a Godslayer, there is nothing wrong with saying that she is a reclusive expert.

Lu Yinghua came to the thatched cottage, immediately knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The name of the wise and brave Sacred Sect Leader will last as long as heaven and earth, and will never be destroyed. Your martial power is infinite, and your wisdom and compassion illuminate the world. Disciple Lu Yinghua wishes Master eternal life."

This flattery gave Zun Zun goosebumps all over his body, and he subconsciously dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his feet.

Then—

In just an instant, even Zun Zun didn't react, Lu Yinghua flew out more than ten meters away and fell down the mountain.

"...Eh?"

Zun Zun looked at Lu Yinghua, who was constantly falling, and probably understood why his lightness skill was so good. After all, if his lightness skill wasn't good, he would have been cold long ago.

Erica subconsciously stood in front of Zun Zun. She held a thin sword tightly in her hand, and her eyes sharply scanned the surroundings.

"Don't be nervous."

Zun Zun held her tense shoulders.

He is also a Godslayer, and belongs to the same race as Leader Luo Hao. She shouldn't start fighting as soon as they meet.

"How dare you draw your sword against me—Luo Cuilian, the Sacred Sect Leader, the one who reigns supreme at the pinnacle of martial arts. You must be prepared to die, right?"

Suddenly, a female voice came.

It is a charming and crisp beautiful voice, a voice that makes people's hearts beat.

But the key issue is not the voice. The one who was just speaking was not a person, but a lizard lying on the thatched cottage.

It is clearly a lizard, but it has a dignified body, full of majesty, and you can't help but exclaim in admiration just by looking at it. However, the other party is now exuding a powerful aura, pressing down on the precarious Erica.

"Nice to meet you, Martial Arts King, I am Zun Zun."

"...To be able to see what my essence is, your vision is really good."

She restrained her own pressure and looked directly at Zun Zun's slightly glowing red eyes, with sincere admiration.

Then, white smoke emerged from the lizard's body.

In the next instant, the small reptile transformed into a beautiful girl.

She is a beautiful girl who can be described as a peerless beauty, wearing ancient Chinese clothes—a white Hanfu, with a long top with long hems and sleeves, and a flowing bottom garment like a long skirt.

Her silk-like black hair is braided into three braids and stood up, with delicate and charming pink lotus flowers on both sides, and a pink ribbon like Aqua's between her arms.

Honestly, with such a look, people would believe it if you said she was a goddess.

Luo Hao looked at Erica, who was standing in front of Zun Zun, with disdain, as if to express that she was overestimating herself, but in the end, she didn't get angry.

"A mere shrine maiden should have committed suicide to apologize the moment she saw my appearance, but seeing that you are my junior—a knight of Zun Zun who also walks the path of hegemony, I will generously forgive you, so thank me."

"Th-thank you..."

Erica's body trembled slightly.

Probably due to the cold pressure born from the leader's beauty and majesty, she lost her usual composure.

In fact, although Erica is usually proud and confident, in reality, when facing stronger disobedient gods and demon kings, she will also become a weak girl who is unable to resist.

"If Erica has offended you, I apologize to you on her behalf, but can you not scare her?"

Zun Zun protected Erica in his arms, and the girl being held was a little shy.

"Isn't this obvious?"

"...What?"

"As your subordinate, she offended me, who is also a Overlord with you, and also your senior, so you should apologize."

Luo Hao said this in a matter-of-fact tone, as if the earth itself has gravity.

"That..."

"No need to say more. Come!"

The peerless beauty in front of him struck a fighting pose, and then, regardless of whether Zun Zun was willing or not, forcibly started the battle.
