Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?-Chapter 372 - 374: Wild Lion, Yin Snake

Chapter 372: Chapter 374: Wild Lion, Yin Snake

Wu Dao’s expression was puzzled, “How could the true transmission of the Wild Lion Sect from the north appear on my turf? The first time could be understood as passing by, but the second time…”

“Could it have fallen into his hands?” Wu Dao’s expression then turned unpredictable.

For this object, he was willing to become a mere patrol, mingling with petty gangs every day, which infuriated him when he thought about it.

If it really was snatched by someone else first, wouldn’t all his years of effort have been wasted, ultimately benefiting others?

“Go and test it. If it really ended up in Li Xiang’s hands…” A ruthless glint flashed in Wu Dao’s eyes, naturally meaning he would eliminate the other party.

Although the Wild Lion Sect was powerful, this place was not the north, and the Wild Lion Sect’s secret martial techniques had no reach here.

The only worry was whether he could defeat this Li Xiang.

“Need to prepare a bit. Even the old turtles of the Pan Turtle Sect couldn’t withstand Li Xiang, he definitely has skills, I’ll have to resort to some more underhanded tactics.” After thinking it over, Wu Dao felt increasingly that the object might have ended up in Li Xiang’s hands.

Otherwise, why would Li Xiang travel all the way from the north to this minor place? Just to challenge the Pan Turtle Sect?

One would go to the big cities to challenge opponents, this local branch of the Pan Turtle Sect was just a small, unremarkable offshoot, it was not possible for them to bring a prodigy like Li Xiang here.

All these doubtful points added up, becoming the final straw that burdened Wu Dao.

The preparations were quickly completed; he had no intention of making a mortal enemy, just wanting the other party to hand over the object so he could let him leave, saving face for the Wild Lion Sect. But if the other party was unwilling, he would have no choice but to kill him and search himself.

With his face hidden, he quietly caught up to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang, who was walking, suddenly stopped and said, “Come out, your murderous intent has betrayed you.”

Hidden and ready to ambush, Wu Dao was startled internally, thinking, ‘He truly is a prodigy born from a major power, his Perception is really strong.’

However, he didn’t plan to show himself, instead silently adjusting his position.

He wasn’t sure if the other party had really detected him, so it was impossible to come out just because of a feint.

“Won’t come out? Only showing your tail and not your head!” Li Xiang snorted coldly, his whole body tensed up, his vital energy surging like a tide in an instant.

“Fierce Lion·Roar!!!”

His coat flared, and a fierce storm of energy burst forth, as Li Xiang roared like a lion in battle.

Wu Dao’s expression changed, he sensed the fierce energy from the incoming wild move and quickly crossed his arms in defense.

Their movements collided, causing a violent impact, and all sorts of objects used for cover around them were blown away by the clash of their techniques.

“Such a crafty Snake Hand, I wonder which Snake Sect you are from?” Li Xiang finished his move, retreating several steps with a slight tremor in his hands. The other party’s move was much more potent than he had expected, piercing from skin to bone, definitely a true transmission.

Even if both individuals might be of the same realm, the other’s seasoned experience was enough to overwhelm him.

Wu Dao too cursed internally, his hands weren’t having an easy time either. Under the cover of his long robe, his arms were bruised with a claw imprint, disrupting his energy flow. No wonder the old turtle from the Pan Turtle Sect fell to this, this Claw Strength penetrated the body, specializing in Armor Breaking. Had it not been for his Snake Sect skills, as soft as boneless, his bones might have been torn apart by the opponent’s claw power.

“Hand over the object, and we each go our own way,” Wu Dao said in a raspy and aged voice.

“???” Li Xiang was utterly baffled, as he hadn’t taken anything and thus could only respond, “What object?”

This had to be clarified; what if it caused a problem.

“The thing you took from the convenience store!” Although Wu Dao felt Li Xiang was playing dumb, he still decided to give Li Xiang a chance. As for what it was, he didn’t specify; in such circumstances, it was better not to be too explicit. As long as it was handed over, it’s clear enough to everyone involved.

Li Xiang’s expression was one of disbelief, just for two bags of bread, this madman would go so far as to kill? This person must be mad with no clear cause or conflict.

Though he enjoyed combat, it did not mean he liked senselessly fighting to the death. He had come to this Pan Turtle martial arts school solely to avenge his junior brother.

His junior brother had been beaten to death while visiting home, and when sent back, his body wasn’t even intact. The marks on his body were left by the Pan Turtle Sect. After thorough investigation, they finally located the enemy, who was now teaching martial arts in the countryside.

Indeed, it was the head of the Pan Turtle Martial Arts Gym in Qingwu City. Several years had passed since then. His presence here had been registered with the Martial Artist Alliance. His seeking revenge was also legitimate, as he had notified the other party in advance. The other party was aware and had not hidden; instead, they confronted him head-on.

He had shown restraint in his attack, sparing the other party’s life and thus preserving face for all involved.

As for clashing with the convenience store owner, that was due to a surge of impulsivity at the moment; he couldn’t understand why he couldn’t hold back, and now that he was calm, he realized how ridiculous and mindless he had been to act so impulsively.

Now, he was genuinely baffled. Why would such a formidable figure go for a deadly assault over two bags of bread? More importantly, he had already finished the bread.

If he hadn’t eaten it, giving it to the other party wouldn’t have been a problem; it was only 1 yuan. Although that might be a lot at the lower levels, for a martial artist whose daily expenses easily amounted to thousands or even tens of thousands, how could he be missing this bit?

“Are you talking about the bread? But I’ve already eaten it,” Li Xiang said honestly.

However, to Wu Dao’s ears, it sounded like a thunderclap: “You… ate it?”

His tone contained suppressed annoyance as he asked again.

Li Xiang sensed trouble because he could feel the killing intent from the other side growing increasingly intense, like an erupting volcano.

“Yes, I ate the bread. I only ate the bread, nothing else,” Li Xiang quickly said, explaining several times over. Lions might fight with tigers, but they certainly don’t wish to bite and snap at a mad dog.

In Li Xiang’s eyes, this Wu Dao was an undeniable mad dog. There was clearly no conflict of interests or values between them, and he had absolutely no intention of fighting to the death.

However, although he said that, he had already readied all the muscles in his body; he knew that today’s issues might not end peacefully.

“Since you’ve eaten it, it’s probably not fully digested yet. Just cut open your stomach and take it out,” Wu Dao didn’t think Li Xiang was explaining; instead, he took it as a provocation, or else why would he emphasize the word ‘bread’?

And that item couldn’t possibly have been digested so quickly, so there was no choice but to resort to violence.

Even if slow on the uptake, Li Xiang now realized that the other person definitely wasn’t talking about bread but rather something metaphorical.

But it was already too late to react. The opponent launched an attack like a venomous snake lying in wait in the shadows, and he could only hurriedly counterattack.

Explanations? To hell with explanations, fight to the death first and talk later.

Such a sneaky individual, definitely lurking around in the dark; killing him was justifiable.

“Soft Snake Sect? No, wrong, it’s Yin Snake Sect. The Soft Skill of the Soft Snake Sect is much more straightforward than yours,” Li Xiang coldly said after fending off the attack with a move.

Wu Dao did not retaliate verbally, but pounced to counterattack with such speed that Li Xiang felt as if he were facing a lightning-fast snake.

“Got you!” Li Xiang endured a blow from the Snake Hand, which tore a large chunk of flesh from his hand; however, for him, this was merely a minor issue.

His hands swung like lion claws, vibrating the air with his vigorous energy, directly aiming for the opponent’s neck.

If this grasp secured, he could tear the entire neck with his Claw Strength.

The Fierce Lion·King Claw was fierce and tyrannical, and the entire sect was characterized by such methods; otherwise, how could it bear the name ‘Fierce’?

Wu Dao understood as well, but he had no means to stop it. His hands were restrained, and it was already too late to withdraw them. His body was being pulled by the expelled force; clearly, this was the other’s finishing move.

“Fierce Lion·King Claw!”

A roar echoed in Wu Tao’s ears. At that moment, Li Xiang, who attacked, appeared like a massive blood-red lion swinging its claws at him.

‘Such a pure essence of martial arts, I lost fairly.’ Wu Dao finally understood why the head of the Pan Turtle Martial Arts Gym had been defeated so neatly and thoroughly; he was no match either.

In terms of both vigor and the true essence of martial arts, it was the same.

Crash~

The lion claw tore through most of his neck, blood instantly splattering out, staining Li Xiang’s overcoat red.

And Wu Dao’s body also fell stiffly to the ground, shattering more than just his physical form; his spirit, too, was torn apart by Li Xiang’s fierce martial earnestness.
