Chapter 41: Batian’s Arrogance
When Wu Batian saw that neither of his two subordinates was able to deal with Shake the Heaven, this foolish fighter, he naturally was surprised inwardly and made a calculation. Shi Hao’s level shouldn’t be much higher than Fan Chou. It must be Shi Hao’s items that far surpassed the items used by his Heavenly Dragon Village. Otherwise, how could there be such a terrifying gap? Even after using his skill, Fan Chou was unable to deal damage to Shi Hao.
Under helplessness, Wu Batian waved his hand, making Fan Chou and Stable as a Dog return behind him.
At this moment, he was still full of arrogance as he berated: “Shake the Heavens, don’t be complacent. We can’t hurt you, but don’t think that you can enter my village. You are a fighter, and even if your gears are pretty good, don’t think that you alone will be able to break through my Heavenly Dragon Village’s defense line!”
Wu Batian was right this time. Shi Hao’s attack power was truly not sufficient. His attack was 61.2 including the bonus. But the defense of Fan Chou and Stable as a Dog was 62 points. They had no power to defeat Shi Hao and Shi Hao also had no power to defeat them.
Shi Hao frowned. This situation was truly bad. Uncle Fa Zheng was waiting for him inside, but this Heroic Overlord Under Heaven was actually unyielding and didn’t let him enter. No matter, with his understanding of this Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, he still had a way, i.e., provoke Heroic Overlord Under Heaven.
Shi Hao coldly said: “Chicken-hearted, if you have guts, then come out and have a duel with me. Rubbish, trash.”
Although Wu Batian loved to pretend to have moral character, he was not someone who didn’t even understand this point. In a duel, there was a high probability that commanders couldn’t even defeat the same leveled strategists, not to mention Shi Hao, this abnormal fighter. Wu Batian refused to step forward.
Wu Batian raised his eyebrows and said: “People of my level never duel with other people. Only a nouveau riche like you will keep saying duel over and over again.”
Shi Hao was not surprised. Everything was within his expectation. He pulled out Water Cloud Sword, and it shone under the sunlight. The blue sword light around its blade looked very beautiful. This elegant blue light was truly the favorite of high-end figures. Wu Batian drooled upon seeing it. In the past, he might have accidentally seen Shi Hao’s Water Cloud Sword. But he had never seriously taken a close look, moreover, under the illumination of the sunlight. Beautiful! Truly beautiful. This Water Cloud Sword was a weapon with style!
Upon seeing the fish had taken a bait, Shi Hao said: “I also won’t force you. Let’s fight for ten rounds. If you don’t admit defeat within those rounds, then I’ll give this Water Cloud Sword to you. If you admit defeat, then I don’t anything from you. I just want to enter Heavenly Dragon Village and move feely for one day.”
“Okay! It’s settled then.” Wu Batian stood up with domineering air, pulled out his iron sword and his red cloak fluttered in the wind. Handsome! Truly handsome! He had already made the calculation. Shi Hao’s items were better than his. Normally, Shi Hao’s attack would deal the damage of at most 8 points. In ten rounds, the damage dealt would at most be 80 points. And he had 75 HP. As long as he successfully blocked or dodged one attack, heh heh, that Water Cloud Sword would be his. Moreover, even if admit defeat, he wouldn’t lose anything.
In fact, in Wu Batian’s view, Shi Hao wouldn’t be able to keep his sword. Where did he know that Shi Hao had also already made a calculation? Shi Hao estimated that his one move would be able to deal the damage of 12 points. Within 6 or 7 moves, Wu Batian would die. He still had plenty of leeways.
“Look at my sword!” Upon a closer look, Shi Hao’s swordsmanship was truly bad. Compared to Feng Tianhao, saying Shi Hao was a complete novice was not an injustice. Fortunately, the other party was also a complete novice. A complete novice against a complete novice, there was not much difference in their techniques. Heh heh, the techniques of both sides were similar, therefore, this time, it would be the test of on-site brainpower. Wu Batian obviously had shortcomings in this regard.
In the past, Shi Hao had noticed that Wu Batian was too fond of acting cool. Like him, Wu Batian obviously didn’t understand swordsmanship. But Wu Batian stubbornly wanted to use cool looking moves with his moronic brain. This, however, was purely a right act of giving someone his head.
Shi Hao used his nameless sword technique to stab Wu Batian. But Wu Batian was calm and composed. He still persisted in his own ways and used his cool looking sword technique. F***! Shi Hao had already seen through your swordsmanship, but you are still not changing it?
Wu Batian parried Shi Hao’s move just like this. And after this move, he didn’t panic. He focused on dancing with that cool looking sword technique without paying attention to how much HP he lost. Heroic Overlord Under Heaven received the second sword move of Shi Hao again. Then the third move, fourth move… Heroic Overlord Under Heaven took five sword moves of Shi Hao in total, and Shi Hao estimated the remaining HP of Wu Batian.
He then ‘kindly’ reminded: “Are you still not admitting defeat? I have just stabbed you five times, however, it seemed that you are about to go GG…”
Wu Batian fell into a daze and looked at his remaining HP. F***! He truly was about to go GG.
Wu Batian sweated profusely, but he still maintained his heroic spirit and said: “Stop, the weather is too hot, and it’s boring, truly boring. I’m telling you, I am not afraid of you. I just don’t want to take cheap advantage of you. I also don’t want your scrap sword.”
Wu Batian turned around and left. Stable as a Dog and Fan Chou also followed after him. As for Shi Hao, he shrugged his shoulders and entered Heavenly Dragon Village under the watchful eyes of the guards.
Soon, Shi Hao found Fa Zheng. Speaking about it, Heavenly Dragon Village was not too small, but why was Shi Hao’s action so fast? Simple! A mysterious person had set up a small stall at the center of Heavenly Dragon Village. that person was Fa Zheng. Upon a closer look, Fa Zhen was actually dressed up as a fortune-teller. However, the villagers of Heavenly Dragon Village seemed to treat him as a scam artist. No one patronized Fa Zhen’s business.
Shi Hao stepped forward and said: “Od Taoist, make divination for me.”
Fa Zheng took a closer look and recognized Shi Hao’s identity from his attire and temperament. He also naturally saw through his purpose. Therefore, Fa Zhen flatly said: “Village Chief Shi, you came here in vain. Considering you are an acquaintance of Brother Zhang Yang, I advise you to leave quickly. Wasting your time on me is not worth it!”
Shi Hao was surprised. Fa Zheng actually recognized him. He then thought carefully. As it turned out Fa Zheng and Zhang Yang were old acquaintances. Therefore, it was not surprising that Fa Zheng knew him from Zhang Yang. In fact, the good friend Zhang Yang met before was Fa Zheng! Only the words of a person like Fa Zheng would completely convince Zhang Yang.
Shi Hao smiled a bit, took out 100 copper coins from his inventory and said: “Xiaozhi, for the time being, look what this is! What do you think? Will you divine for me first or ask me a question?”
Fa Zheng’s eyes had a hint of rare doubts. His hidden recruitment mission had been activated. Only Fa Zheng knew this matter. Zhang Yang didn’t know, therefore, Shi Hao couldn’t learn this secret from Zhang Yang.
However, in any case, the hidden recruitment mission was triggered. He must continue.
