Tang Luo could almost hear a series of names, all of which were about his father, Tang Sen.
Fortunately, as a martial artist with double bloodlines, his body was as robust as a demon beast, especially after being protected by the Fierce Qilin Heavy Earth Armor, which reduced his spiritual injuries by more than ninety percent. The remaining ten percent of damage was at most a minor injury for Tang Sen.
Apart from having to submerge underground to avoid the combined attack technique, Tang Sen was virtually the Tang Clan’s strongest tank in this battle. Among the sixty-four Fierce Realm powerhouses, he was hit nearly two tenths of the time.
It was as if attacks intended for ten people were all aimed at him, which was enough to explain a few things.
Even many attacks that clearly weren’t aimed at him, he would casually block. Tang Luo somewhat understood why martial experts revered his father so much.
After all, who wouldn’t want to fight side by side with a comrade who could block spiritual art attacks for him? Life is fleeting, and countless outstanding martial artists have been robbed of their lives by inexplicable combined attacks. The awkwardness of being at the end of one’s strength and unable to react quickly can only truly be understood when faced directly with such situations.
Because of Tang Sen’s existence, not only did the Tang Clan’s casualties greatly decrease, but the martial artists of the Mi Clan were as skittish as startled birds. They had to pay attention not only to their opponents but also to the position and movement of Tang Sen. He was a ferocious beast in close combat, capable of breaking an opponent’s armor with one blow, and killing a person with the second strike.
Every Fierce Realm powerhouse from the Mi Family was on edge. Thanks to the implementation of the Secret Arts Pavilion’s imprinting method, the Fierce Realm warriors of the Tang Clan, in addition to the extremity of the Tongtian Domination Scroll and the Sky-picking Hand, now had a third method of attack, which tipped the scales of the battle in favor of the Tang Clan.
Thirty-two versus thirty-two… Thirty-one versus thirty… Twenty-nine versus twenty-seven.
In a battle that lasted half a day, except for Mi Hai, Mi Yang, Tang Siyuan, and Tang Sen, who had not activated the Xuanji Jade, there were continuous activations by Fierce Realm powerhouses of the Xuanji Jade, and lightly injured Fierce Realm powerhouses constantly re-joined the battle.
However, the two clans, in agreement, did not send more fighters into Jianglin. Among the sixty-four Fierce Realm martial artists, there were still some who could not continue to fight due to serious injuries, which gradually led to the cessation of battle in Jianglin.
Tang Luo, who had been standing in the corner for a while, heaved a sigh of relief, having inferred from the vast amount of information that the battle was soon going to end.
More than twenty Fierce Realm powerhouses have been unable to return to the battle due to severe injuries. Both clans could not allow such meaningless consumption to continue. Just in half a day, each family had consumed over a hundred Xuanji Jades, over a hundred Life Creation Pills, and shattered over fifty pieces of Spiritual Armor.
In other words, just in half a day, the direct economic loss of both families amounted to over one billion, not including the huge expenses incurred for the subsequent treatment of Fierce Realm powerhouses.
Tang Luo, hearing the news of minor injuries time after time, put down the heart he had held aloft, full of gratitude for Master Ouyang.
Without this piece of Qilin Fierce Armor, how could Tang Sen act as a tank in such a high-level battle? Even though the protective capability of the armor was bound to be less than Xu Lao Ying’s Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor after absorbing the Qilin grudge, this, for the Tang Clan at this point, was a remarkable treasure. Without this armor, even if Tang Sen had a physique comparable to King Realm, he still wouldn’t be able to withstand so many attacks and absorb so much damage.
Since he had obtained the news that he most wanted to know, Tang Luo did not want to waste any more time. His father was battling in Jianglin for their family, so he could not just stand and watch. He had to do his share of work as much as possible for the family.
“Cough, cough, cough!” he coughed loudly a few times to attract the attention of a young Wind Media staff member nearby. Tang Luo was ready to start his own work.
The impatient young Wind Media staff turned his head and looked at Tang Luo, who seemed all crumpled: “Boss, can’t you see that we’re busy as hell right now? I don’t have time to chat about gossip today!”
“Erm…” “Don’t ruin my image in front of the readers,” said Tang Luo with a frown, his face serious and somber. “Please pull all the intel on Red Cloud Village for me, now, it’s urgent.”
“Alright!” The young Wind Media staff member stood up and rushed to the archives room. He soon came out with a stack of files and handed them to Tang Luo. “These are all the records about Red Cloud Village since it settled down in Longzhou in 1102 according to the Longzhou Calendar.” He pointed out a few of them and said: “These are the records of the past hundred years, detailing the current martial power levels, affiliations, secrets, and other remarks about Red Cloud Village.”
“Thank you.” Tang Luo nodded, then sat down and went through all the files concerning Red Cloud Village in detail.
The last time he visited Red Cloud Mountain, he had impulsively decided to conquer this power because it perfectly matched the resources he had at the time. But after returning from Red Cloud Mountain, one thing after another happened, especially after the event of the Minor Spiritual Realm. His entire martial arts plan underwent tremendous changes. As a result, Red Cloud Village, initially an important part of the plan, was put to the side. Du Sha, who now held the power in Red Cloud Village, did not take the initiative to demonstrate his sincerity to Tang Luo either, and there were two reasons for that.
The first reason was that Du Sha didn’t think he could conquer Red Cloud Village. Pointing out the flaws in martial techniques was not a big deal. There were at least five prominent figures in Xiling who knew the specifics about Red Cloud Village, yet the village continued to prosper independently in Xiling for hundreds of years. This alone could frighten a child like Du Ziteng, but it didn’t pose a threat to a Fierce Realm powerhouse like Du Sha.
The second reason was that Du Sha doubted Tang Luo’s ability to solve the problems of Red Cloud Village’s martial technique. In simpler terms, Red Cloud Mountain was irreplaceable. Only a power equal to or greater than the Heaven Sect could afford to create such a vicious technique as the Bridal Clothes Technique without fearing backlash. Although Tang family was a prominent clan in Xiling, it couldn’t compare to a Sect, and in most cases, the depth of martial research was directly proportional to the size of the power.
Therefore, it was natural for him to doubt whether the martial arts researchers of the Tang Clan could decipher the mystery of the Red Cloud Skill, even if it was just a few hundred years old technique.
Originally, Tang Luo had a fifty percent confidence in this matter. However, after the Tang Clan obtained a large amount of secret art techniques from the Minor Spiritual Realm, his confidence increased to more than ninety percent. Because there is no strong martial technique in the world that springs out of nowhere. From any martial technique, you can trace its origins based on clues of its practice, just as all cultivation in the world starts with inhalation and exhalation.
The extremely powerful Han Clan amassed countless formidable techniques in Zhongzhou a thousand years ago. According to the history of Red Cloud Village, the first guard appeared to have come from Zhongzhou to Xiling. In light of this, Tang Luo would surely find the solution to the Red Cloud Skill as long as he found that superior technique.
He was not confident in himself, but in the Han Clan of a thousand years ago!
