Chapter 254

"You were in a hurry just now, didn't expose any flaws, did you?"

Tianpeng casually asked, then lightly coughed, speaking in a composed manner: "I, the Commander, dislike trouble—do you understand?"

He's really starting to like learning Chen the shopkeeper's usual calm demeanor; just one look and he seems quite impressive.

It's just this trick of his that has Xiong Dao Ren fooled one after another.

But he's just putting on an act, while Chen the shopkeeper is genuinely impressive.

"No way!

I have full confidence in my concealment formation; that person couldn't possibly know who I am."

Xiong Dao Ren pondered and said.

"Before going to the treasure hunt cave entrance, I deliberately wiped away the footprints I and Peng Ge left on the wall dust—nothing will happen!

Xiao Tian squinted his eyes, mocking: "Exactly, exactly—if the formation has no problem, what could be exposed? We didn't even stay there long."

While Xiao Tian spoke, he lifted his right front paw, shook it, and somehow a few grains of sand got into his claw gaps, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Tianpeng, you wouldn't be scared now, would you?"

Xiao Tian snorted.

"Hmph, would I, the Commander, be afraid?"

Tianpeng gave a dismissive smile—he's scared to death, okay!

Without mercy in his words: "I don't know which dog it was, barking arrogantly about beating someone, then hearing they were at least a Great Luo, and ran off faster than anyone."

Xiong Dao Ren, standing nearby, directly chimed in, nodding seriously: "Exactly!

Good thing I set up the formation in advance, otherwise the restriction would have directly transmitted outward."

This round, Xiao Tian is entirely to blame!

"You!

You all"

Xiao Tian, incredulous, stepped back a few paces—really, is it necessary to target him this much? "Crack!

I, the Great Ye, am just speaking the truth."

Xiao Tian stiffened his neck, trying to hold his ground, but ultimately still lost under the gaze of Tianpeng and Xiong Dao Ren.

"Yes!

I, the Great Ye, am timid!

I, the Great Ye, admit"

Xiao Tian spat while nodding, then immediately flared with righteous indignation: "But Tianpeng, dare you say you fled because you disliked trouble? Your cultivation level might fool Xiong Dao Ren, but you can't fool me, the Great Ye."

Facing Xiao Tian's questioning, Tianpeng remained utterly composed.

"My strength?"

Tianpeng lowered his head, glanced at his battle armor, and gave a light smile: "How strong I am, you don't know—but as the Heavenly Court War God, am I just calling myself that for nothing?"

Speaking, Tianpeng wore an expression of indifference, his somewhat round face showing such composure, appearing even more solemn, and quite convincing.

Xiong Dao Ren deeply believed this.

"Peng Ge is awesome."

Xiong Dao Ren wore a proud expression, as if the War God Tianpeng spoke of were himself.

"Stop bragging about being awesome—go inquire, inquire."

Xiao Tian said with utter disdain: "When mentioning the Heavenly Court War God, whose first thought isn't my master, the illustrious True Lord Erlang Yang Jian? Where do you, Tianpeng, even come in?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiong Dao Ren directly countered.

"That's exactly what I thought!

Peng Ge is just strong."

Xiong Dao Ren said with utmost sincerity.

In his heart, Tianpeng's status as Heavenly Court War God is unshakable—don't look at Peng Ge losing to whatever Erlang God; this is clearly Peng Ge's magnanimity, yielding as a result.

Otherwise, just based on Peng Ge's earlier feat of bare-handedly resisting Erlang God's divine weapons, how could Peng Ge lose? It's merely out of consideration for Erlang God, this so-called Heavenly Court War God, not losing face before outsiders.

Self-sacrifice for others.

No wonder it's Peng Ge!

Xiong Dao Ren felt reverent in his heart.

It's precisely because of Peng Ge's formidable strength, his composed handling of affairs, his carefree nature in conduct, and his attitude toward others, that he feels such admiration.

Not only does he not disdain Peng Ge's humble demon race origins, openly taking him in, but he even brought him to that miraculous place, Chaos Residence, to awaken such powerful divine abilities.

The Mystic Heaven Battle Armor is now his greatest reliance.

Chen the shopkeeper's deeds, Peng Ge also told him—truly, he never expected that in the Three Realms there would actually exist such a heaven-shaking, earth-stirring great hermit hiding in the mountains, mysterious and unfathomable.

It truly broadened his horizons!

As for divine abilities, he was initially shocked, but didn't quite grasp the severity of the issue, after all, his prior cultivation relied solely on fragmented bloodline inheritance and his own groping—he understood nothing.

Only after Peng Ge later explained the meaning of postnatal divine abilities did he realize how outrageously strong Chen the shopkeeper's move was.

He feels grateful to Chen the shopkeeper, but even more thankful to Peng Ge for bringing him to Chaos Residence—to be able to become Peng Ge's follower and junior brother is the honor of his lifetime, Xiong Dao Ren!

Xiao Tian glanced at Xiong Dao Ren,

and snorted from his dog nose.

"You're not even a person, know nothing—just stop butting in."

He glared provocatively at Tianpeng: "Tianpeng, dare you speak the truth?"

He really couldn't stand Tianpeng's bragging anymore!

"What's there not to dare? Just because of Erlang God, you also want to try to beat me, the Commander?"

Tianpeng wore an air of arrogance, asking a symbolic question.

Yet in his heart he was speechless and choked—San Yanwa struck him, and that was no casual blow.

After all, the gap between Taibai Perfection and the early Great Luo stage is not simply a matter of one easy advancement.

Moreover, he is still far from Taibai Perfection, and what's more, San Yanwa is still using a sharp weapon.

This is vastly different from Guanyin's casual palm technique.

Originally, San Yanwa's martial arts could thrash him soundly, and now he has even obtained some nauseating divine communication from Chen the shopkeeper, actually able to bind him directly.

Flower Falling Drifting Sway was directly rendered useless, and the other two defensive divine communications on him could not withstand even a slight movement, constantly being chopped!

But although he cannot win in combat, he must still put on a show with his words.

Moreover, this is happening in front of his most loyal little brother Xiong Dao Ren, so he cannot casually lose his prestige.

The corner of his mouth twitched, Tianpeng's face flushed with red air, not panting: "You couldn't have forgotten the sight of me standing still while Yang Jian struck me, leaving him helpless? If I, the commander, wanted to win, it would take only one move."

Tianpeng waved his hand grandly, spirited and energized.

Xiao Tian's dog mouth twitched—this Tianpeng really is full of himself, having only been beaten a few days ago, now acting so arrogantly, with not a shred of memory.

Though spoken exaggeratedly, there is still a non-human who believed it.

"Peng brother is awesome!

I knew Yang Jian was nothing at all."

Xiao Tian dog looked at the fervently enthusiastic Xiong Dao Ren, somewhat speechless and choked, wondering how to continue speaking afterward; moreover, seeing this fervor, even if he spoke, it would be pointless—this foolish bear won't believe a single word!

But Xiao Tian dog is not willing to just let Tianpeng go like this, and hurriedly snorted angrily: "Tianpeng, if you have the guts, stand there and don't move—I'll go summon Yang Jian, and we'll settle this with our hands."

This is Guanjiangkou; he went in to look, and it would hardly take much time at all.

Compared to Tianpeng, Yang Jian would surely also be very willing to give Tianpeng a good beating.

Today, if I don't beat Tianpeng until he cries for his father and mother, I won't call myself Xiao Tian dog.

Before Tianpeng himself could set an example, Xiong Dao Ren standing nearby could no longer hold back, shouting with righteous indignation: "Go find him—if you have the ability, summon Yang Jian over and let me clash with my Peng brother, see whether my Peng brother beats him or not—then it's settled."

Due to his disrespect toward Tianpeng, Xiong Dao Ren finds Xiao Tian dog increasingly displeasing to the eye the more he looks at him.

This dog is truly overstepping, emboldened by Peng brother's disdain for petty grudges to act recklessly.

What's so special about Yang Jian? Needing Peng brother's tolerance to even appear openly as a Heavenly Court War God? That's nothing to fear at all.

Tianpeng's calm expression flashed with a hint of embarrassment; he had originally intended to make another lighthearted remark to guide Xiao Tian dog away from this thought.

After all, this is Guanjiangkou—summoning Yang Jian out here is truly a matter of minutes, yet I didn't expect Xiong Dao Ren to again glare provocatively at Yang Jian.
