The Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace strikes aren’t swift; to unleash a powerful attack always takes time. Being defeated by this simpleton is quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s settled then!\" said Yuan Zongzi, landing swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan followed and landed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Sha, as always, maintained composure. Even when the other disciples were still looking at him with amused faces, Tie Sha hurriedly saluted and respectfully said, \"Senior Dian, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he did nothing extra and simply retreated amongst the disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the tavern, the other disciples took their seats, seemingly unimpressed by this rough and honest bald man. Even if he is Fifth Grade, it doesn’t make much of a difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi didn’t pay much attention, just watching the simpleton sitting alone. With a sidelong glance, he said, \"Tie Sha, you’re tactful, go and keep him company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Tie Sha responded respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he went over to Li Yuan’s side very considerately, pulling out a chair for him, cleaning the somewhat dirty table in front of him, ordering drinks, introducing wines, and also ordering food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the next table came laughter, faintly saying, \"Old Tie must be an oddball in the Earth Fire Travel Technique, with that temper, hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi commented, \"What do you know, that’s precisely what’s good about Old Tie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Li Yuan and Tie Sha were already more than a dozen empty jars stacked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan chuckled and said, \"You’re quite nice, when I return to Cloud Mountain Path, come and find me to play.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A statement others treated as a joke, Tie Sha, however, solemnly saluted and asked, \"How would I find you, Senior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan replied, \"I’m Dian Wei, from Jiubao County on Cloud Mountain Path. Just ask for directions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would notify the Tang Sect in advance that if anyone asked for Dian Wei in Jiubao County, they should inform him, whether it’s Old Tie he would naturally know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding Tie Sha wasn’t to recruit a subordinate, but just because it’s enjoyable to drink with an old friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Old Tie is quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yuan Zongzi’s voice came from the neighboring table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ready for a fight after eating and drinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mother said when I was a kid, you need to sleep after eating to be able to move, or you’ll hurt your stomach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re already Fifth Grade, such things wouldn’t happen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t lie to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not lying to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it won’t hurt my stomach, then let’s spar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, displaying the true nature of a Martial Fool. He grabbed the long blade beside him and soared into the sky, standing broadly amidst the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a streak of purple light shot skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any preamble, a fiery blaze suddenly surged towards Li Yuan like a venomous snake, rearing its head to bite...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic in the social world would be considered a sneak attack, a cowardly move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was precisely Yuan Zongzi’s battle technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long red gleam flashed past like a half-moon, but as it reached Li Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan appeared to dodge hastily and barely avoided it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi’s blade strike wasn’t finished; a few inches away from Li Yuan, it darted back suddenly like a swift flying swallow and slashed at Li Yuan’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth Grade is difficult to kill, even if cleaved in two it’s no matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan, like dancing the twist, twisted his waist and hips mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this twisting allowed him to evade Yuan Zongzi’s various extraordinarily agile slashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan wasn’t skilled in body skill, so... at this moment, he was merely struggling to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use one’s weaknesses against an enemy’s strengths; isn’t this also a form of sparring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi stopped his hand, breathlessly watching the bald brute still maintaining the dance’s momentum, his eyes flickering with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan excitedly shouted, \"Come on, I’m not done yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi said, \"Come to my Holy Fire Palace, there’s good food and drink every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan internally spat, feeling the person was not sincere enough, and ceased his dance, saying, \"The fight was just getting fun, why say such dull things? If you won’t fight, I will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he raised his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not feel anything, but Yuan Zongzi, as a fellow Fifth Grade elder who also wielded a blade, sensed something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an indescribably peculiar feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling made Yuan Zongzi feel a strange excitement and anticipation from his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unconsciously imagined this strike, anticipated this strike, which was different from his perception of the brute in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This blade is used to beat my house Ah Huang, be careful.\" Li Yuan kindly reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is Ah Huang?\" Yuan Zongzi curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan said mournfully, \"A dog, unfortunately, it was beaten to death by me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi, angered, drew his blade immediately, and with a flash of flame, dashed towards Li Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan’s blade also surged out; this blade was nothing much, it merely employed a bit of Bursting Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peculiar Fifth Grade elder was blown away like a ball hit by a \"home run,\" landing with a crash on the ground, creating a deep pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust dispersed, Black Rock splattered upwards, spreading everywhere...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the pit’s center, Yuan Zongzi’s hand was numbed, hot Shadow Blood flowing from his hand, emanating steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay on the cracked dirt, gazing blankly at the sky, recalling the recent scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd of disciples rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi was pulled from the pit and, looking up, saw the bald brute had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but mutter, \"Strange, too strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the matter, Elder?\" a disciple couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zongzi said, \"Inception like natural heaven and earth, conclusion like Linxiang Mammoth’s fierce power, one with finesse, one with brutality... like an Immortal with a weird head, like a peerless beauty wielding a heavy axe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linxiang, a legendary Great Demon Beast in the Sunset Rainforest of the South.\u003C\u002Fp>",1026,"2026-06-06T05:24:39.032Z",1,"novelbin.me","37ad680f015571af27458f1d00c9d958444268b681ebd41af73e4629a992ad3d","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-544","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-542",563,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-cover.jpg"]
