C120 Drinking-fist Tinker
Zuo Feng opened the metal box in front of him and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out. Upon closer inspection, there was only one medicinal herb inside, about forty herbs that were neatly stacked together. When Zuo Feng saw this medicinal herb, he could not help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
Inside the metal box was a type of spiritual medicine called "Cloud Grass". Looking at it, its age also seemed to belong to more than five years. This "Cloud Grass" was one of the main ingredients to refine the "Body Tempering Powder". Previously, he had searched in Yan City for a long time, but he only bought seven. With this much "Cloud Grass" this time, it would be more than enough to refine it into a body strengthening furnace.
He reached out his hand to grab the metal box and put it into his pocket. Of course, after entering Zuo Feng Huai's body, these medicinal herbs were immediately collected into the Na Crystal. He quickly put away all the Cloud Grass, and then he walked into the tunnel with big steps.
As Zuo Feng neared the end of the passageway, a stone door slowly opened as well. A youth with long hair and a cape draped over his shoulders was lying down in the middle of the hall in satisfaction. The youth looked at Zuo Feng who had just walked into the hall with a smile that was not a smile.
Their gazes met in an instant, and the long-haired youth swallowed all the wine in his mouth with a "gulp". He raised his hand to wipe the wine stains on the corner of his mouth. Only then did he slowly open his mouth. His voice was deep and filled with a kind of magnetic charm.
"You're the young man hired by Yan City's Castellan, right? Ah, right, I think he's called Zuo Feng."
Zuo Feng saw the youth call out his name as soon as he opened his mouth. Obviously, he knew his situation. Although Zuo Feng was slightly surprised, since the other party did not intend to make a move immediately, he wanted to hear what he had to say.
Seeing that Zuo Feng was looking at him without any change in his expression, the long-haired youth smiled and nodded. He continued saying, "This trial is extremely important to your Swallow City Lord and even more so to the Eastern County Governor, Lin Lang. Therefore, the participants in your Swallow City competition are extremely valuable."
Zuo Feng came to a realization when he heard this. It looked like the Eastern County's county governor was secretly up to something. Since Teng Fang and the short-sleeved man had some understanding of the mechanism, it was most likely revealed by the county governor to Zhang Yu.
Thinking of this, Zuo Feng had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but now was not the time to think about it. He looked coldly at the longhaired man and said slowly, "It looks like you are also very interested in the county governor's bountiful remuneration?"
The long-haired teenager shook his head with a smile. He raised the wine pot in his hand once again and drank a mouthful before slowly saying, "Those rewards are indeed very attractive, but I am actually very interested in you. For you to be able to defeat that little girl on the first level, I think that your strength will definitely make me extremely satisfied. "
Zuo Feng knew that the girl he was talking about was the girl with yellow hair who had used the curved blade. Moreover, it could be seen that this long-haired youth was also one of those people that loved to fight. These people were usually the cultivation and battle maniacs. They were also the people that Zuo Feng felt the most headache from. There was no reason at all for them to wholeheartedly challenge the strong in order to hone their skills.
Ding Hao, who was known as the "Wine Fist" or "Wine Hero", was considered one of the most famous existences among the new generation in the Eastern Prefecture. His love, or perhaps obsession with fighting, had already reached an almost sickly level. This was a martial arts fanatic that Zuo Feng had met before. Of course, in this world where martial arts were respected, there was no lack of such people.
"My name is Ding Hao, you can call me wine lord. I have loved two things in my life, both wine and opponents. A good opponent is the best dish for me to enjoy the wine. If you can let me have a hearty match, I can let you leave this spiral tower alive. "
The long-haired man was still lying on the ground, one arm supporting his body while the other hand held the wine jug in his hand as he spoke. He sounded like he was going to eat Zuo Feng up.
Zuo Feng, on the other hand, could see that this was a strong confidence, and not the nonsense of the arrogant people like Teng Fang. However, the other party was only a few years older than him, and yet said that he was "living a lifetime"? This made Zuo Feng feel as if he was pretending to be mature.
Laughing softly, Zuo Feng also said, "My power is not too bad, I will have to test it out to see if I can make you feel satisfied."
Hearing Zuo Feng's words, the long-haired youth called Ding Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zuo Feng again. Afterwards, he leisurely stuffed the wine jug back into his hands, hung it casually around his waist, and then raised his arms to stretch.
He then lazily sat up, took off a string from his wrist and tied up his long hair. He then stood up and walked unsteadily towards Zuo Feng, as if he was a drunk person.
When the two were about ten meters apart, Zuo Feng could already feel the pungent smell of alcohol and couldn't help but frown. It seemed like this young man wasn't putting on an act, the jugs of wine by his waist were actually filled with strong alcohol.
Just when Zuo Feng was surprised, the youth called Ding Hao staggered a few steps forward, looking as if he was about to fall. Zuo Feng, on the other hand, was not stupid enough to believe that the other person drank too much, so he immediately assumed a fighting stance.
Just as Ding Hao's body was about to fall to the ground, his body suddenly charged forward diagonally. His speed was as fast as lightning and he had already arrived in front of Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng, who had been prepared for a while, was slightly surprised, but his opponent's fist was already swinging out like lightning.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
With four consecutive muffled sounds, the left wind was pushed back three steps, while Ding Hao also took half a step back to straighten his body. The laziness in his eyes had long since disappeared, and what replaced it was excitement and fanaticism.
In that instant, Ding Hao had actually punched out four times. Regardless of the speed, angle, or strength of the punch, it was beyond the expectations of the left wind. Just now, when Ding Hao was about to fall, he had suddenly rushed forward. His fist was swung without any warning, and the momentum from his charge had increased by quite a bit.
"I have a feeling that this battle will be very interesting."
Ding Hao could no longer see his previous laziness, but said with a face full of excitement. Zuo Feng, on the other hand, was not in a good mood. This Ding Hao was not just bragging. To have a cultivation at the second level of the Bone Refining stage at such an age was already an existence with amazing talent. In addition to his opponent's strange moves, he really wasn't an opponent that could be easily defeated.
Ding Hao could not help but lick his lips, and with a loud laugh, he rushed over once again. A seemingly ordinary punch struck him in the chest. Zuo Feng immediately raised his arm to block it, and at the same time, threw out another punch. However, just as Ding Hao's fist was about to hit Zuo Feng's arm, his body suddenly leaned back and his leg kicked upwards.
Zuo Feng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately retracted his fist. His five fingers slightly opened as he turned into a fist to grab at his opponent's knee. When Ding Hao saw that the other person's grasp was just right, his eyes couldn't help but flicker with a strange light. He exerted force in his waist and abdomen, and once again changed from leaning back to rushing forward. He punched again at his chest.
Zuo Feng raised his arm to block with a grave look on his face, and with a muffled sound, the two separated again. In the blink of an eye, Ding Hao had actually changed his technique twice. Not only was his body extremely flexible, his movements were also fluid and fluid.
This time, Zuo Feng did not hesitate. Instead, he rushed forward almost at the same time as his opponent. If he didn't think of a way to attack, then the initiative would be in the opponent's hands. No matter how fast he reacted, he would still lose the ability to attack. Facing such a sharp attack, attacking was the best strategy.
The young man called Ding Hao had a smile on his face, as if he was extremely excited about Zuo Feng's attack. The two of them collided in the blink of an eye. This time, although Zuo Feng launched an attack, it made people feel that his moves were extremely simple, but the power contained within each attack was extremely shocking.
In the span of a few breaths, the two exchanged more than ten moves. Under such a concentrated attack, Zuo Feng was hit twice by the opponent and then kicked. On the other hand, Ding Hao only got hit by one of Zuo Feng's punches.
However, when the two of them separated once again, the young man called Ding Hao already had a serious expression on his face. It was because the strength of Zuo Feng's punch was too strong. If it wasn't for the fact that his body was extremely flexible, others would have already fallen to the ground and lost.
"Brat, you're not simple. I didn't expect your body to be so thin, but you actually possess such astonishing strength. "
Although the two of them had been fighting for a while, Zuo Feng couldn't help but like this opponent. Although this youth called Ding Hao was ruthless in his moves, he didn't use any underhanded methods, which made Zuo Feng feel the same excitement as when he was in a fight.
"Looks like the following battle will be very interesting."
Zuo Feng replied with a smile, imitating the tone of the long-haired youth from before. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before both of them burst out laughing at the same time. At a certain moment, the two of them stopped laughing at the same time as they thought about each other and quickly rushed over.
Zuo Feng's mind could not help but flash the 'Lian Rou's Push Hand' from before. His moves had also changed. Ding Hao's face was originally serious, but when he saw that Zuo Feng's moves had changed, he immediately revealed an excited expression.
The two of them had not used any martial skills since their fight, and they had only used techniques to engage in close combat. Under such a quick attack, even if he wanted to use martial skills, there was no time to circulate spiritual energy.
At this moment, Ding Hao had just twisted his body and sent out a kick. The left wind seemed to be dodging backwards, but its body seemed to have entered a specific trajectory as it swayed. Then, his body slightly swayed as he used the momentum to push away with both of his arms. Ding Hao seemed to want to test the strength of Zuo Feng's push, so he gritted his teeth and raised his arms to meet Zuo Feng's palms.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the left wind was pushed back two steps. Ding Hao's body was sent flying. His body kept rolling along the ground until it crashed into the wall of the main hall. He groaned and then stopped.
Zuo Feng stared dumbly at Ding Hao, who had fallen to the ground. Even now, he still couldn't recall anything.
