Everyone was sizing up the foreigner who broke in.

Among them, the two leaders, one tall and one short. The tall one was nine feet tall, with his shirt open and bulging muscles. His biceps were thicker than an average person's head. He also carried a strangely shaped broadsword on his back, which looked like a slightly larger version of Zhao Changhe.

Zhao Changhe stretched his neck to take a look. The person seemed to be a size bigger than himself, but the broadsword didn't seem as big as the one he had. It was obvious that the dragon and sparrow on his side were feeling a bit proud and eager to fight. The aura of the sword couldn't hide it anymore.

What are you proud of just because you're a little bigger...

The shorter one was only slightly shorter than the muscular man, but he was still over seven feet tall, which was considered tall compared to an average person. He had a bit of elegance and replied with a smile to Wan Dongliu's question, "I heard that the martial arts in the Central Plains are flourishing. Although we are here for business, we also admire the elegance. It is said that the young master of the Wan family has invited heroes from Yangzhou to gather at the Mingyue Tower. It must be a grand occasion. We are longing for it and came here specially. Could it be that the heroes of Yangzhou are afraid of us businessmen?"

Wan Dongliu sneered, "We are gathering as friends, not for a martial arts competition! You disturb my friend's gathering and still want to do business in Yangzhou!"

As he said that, he drew his sword abruptly, "Members of the Cao Gang, follow me..."

The person interrupted, "So, as we said, the hidden dragons of the Central Plains are just empty names. There are so many talented individuals on the Hidden Dragon List, yet they dare not have one-on-one fights and plan to attack us together. How can they boast about their character and elegance? It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Wan Dongliu was about to say something when he heard the voice of Qian Prefect, "Dongliu, what he said is not wrong. It's pointless to argue without any basis. Let's have a comparison and let them know the might of Great Xia. It will become a good story."

Wan Dongliu frowned, and Xuan Chongtang and Tang Buqi also frowned.

A good story my ass. Who knows what level the opponent is? What if there's someone from the Tian or Di List? We'll just be there to entertain them.

But then they heard the person laugh, "We grassland heroes don't play those tricks of yours. Hidden dragons against hidden dragons, no baseless words."

The tall man beside him shouted, "Batu is here, who dares to fight!"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

The Chaos Chronicles covers the whole world, so it's not just about the people from the Central Plains. This person is indeed the 99th on the Hidden Dragon List, Batu the Mad Lion.

"Tsk!" Tang Buqi couldn't help it anymore, "I'll fight you!"

He was ranked 120th on the Hidden Dragon List and wanted to find someone taller than him to sharpen his skills. He also had this intention when he came to Zhao Changhe. This Batu, ranked 99th, was even more suitable. He looked so much like Zhao Changhe that it made him angry just by looking at him. When else would he fight if not now!

"Swish, swish, swish!" Tang Buqi's first move was the famous move from the Spring Water Sword Technique, "Fading Sorrow Gradually Vanishes". One sword turned into three, and three turned into infinite. In an instant, Batu was surrounded by countless cold lights.

The onlookers nodded slightly, thinking that this would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. After all, the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List was not solely based on strength, but it could be used as a reference. The difference between 99th and 120th was actually quite small, and the Tang family's Spring Water Sword Technique was not to be underestimated...

Only Zhao Changhe shook his head slightly, not optimistic at all.

Tang Buqi's strength was actually quite good, but he lacked the experience of life and death battles. That day, he couldn't even bring a hint of pressure to himself. This muscular man in front of him...

Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard a roar, and Batu drew his sword and launched an angry slash.

Tang Buqi's sword flowers were already at his throat, but this guy didn't care about the odds and just attacked. You can't even tell which sword light is the real one. If you stab my throat, you'll lose your head!

Although Tang Buqi's swordsmanship was better and he had the upper hand, he was still forced to break out in a cold sweat by this one slash. He quickly withdrew his sword and dodged to the right.

However, Batu, who seemed to be difficult to stop, effortlessly changed his vertical slash into a horizontal slash, chasing after Tang Buqi's chest!

The unexpected turn of events made Tang Buqi the one who couldn't keep up. The only solution now was to use his sword to block this slash head-on. But can a long sword really block such a heavy sword?

With a loud clang, fortunately, Tang Buqi's sword was also a treasure of the Tang family. It bent but didn't break. He narrowly avoided being cut in half and quickly retreated.

Batu took a step forward and continued to pursue.

"Stop!" A cold light flew towards Batu's face, it was Xuan Chongtang desperately trying to prevent Tang Buqi from being cut in half.Moreover, he reached the top at the age of twenty and firmly held the position for two years, making him only twenty-two years old now!

It's true that he's the number one in the Hidden Dragon rankings, but what does that mean?

Amidst the shock, Chilie turned his head to glance at Tang Buqi on the other side.

Xuan Chong tried to rescue Tang Buqi, but he was stopped... However, the scene where Tang Buqi was cut in half by Batu's sword didn't happen. A scar-faced man was protecting Tang Buqi behind him, with a broadsword on his back that was slightly larger than Batu's, but he didn't draw his sword.

Batu seemed somewhat hesitant, and he didn't make a move either.

Was this scar-faced man Zhao Changhe? He had missed the scene just now and didn't know how this man had saved Tang Buqi from Batu's sword with his bare hands, making Batu actually hesitant...

As Chilie's thoughts flashed, Tang Buqi, both ashamed and angry, pointed at Batu: "With your strength and speed, you're already at Xuan Guan's fifth level, not the fourth level of the Hidden Dragon ninety-nine back then! It's not a fair victory!"

Batu looked at him inexplicably: "The fact that I was at the fourth level was said by the Chaos Chronicles eight months ago. If I haven't made progress in eight months, would I still be called a Hidden Dragon? I already think it's too slow, alright?"

Tang Buqi's strength was crushed, and even his intelligence was despised. He was extremely ashamed and angry, and he wanted to leave.

Chilie chuckled lightly, looking at Daoist Xuan Chong: "Daoist, it seems that the outcome of their battle with more than a hundred people has been decided. Shall we continue?"

Xuan Chong frowned.

He knew that he was not Chilie's opponent.

The title of number one Hidden Dragon alone was enough to suffocate his peers.

Chilie's gaze swept over Zhao Changhe, seemingly not wanting to compete with the eighty-plus people, and looked at Wan Dongliu: "Does Young Master Wan want to join the fun?"

Wan Dongliu indifferently said: "I'm not a match for the number one Hidden Dragon."

Chilie laughed loudly: "So it's said that the Hidden Dragons of the Central Plains are just empty names, and the romantic figures are nothing more than that! Today I know! Batu, let's go."

The field was silent, and everyone stared at him with fiery eyes as he laughed, clenching their fists tightly.

However, amidst the silence, it seemed as if the sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slabs was rapidly approaching. Chilie's laughter gradually ceased, and he wondered in surprise: "The sound of this person's horseshoes disrupted the effect of my laughter casting a shadow in people's hearts... Who is this Human Ranking master?"

The sound of horseshoes stopped, and a clear female voice sounded outside the door: "Who is saying that the Hidden Dragons of the Central Plains are just empty names?"

As the words fell, a woman in red stepped into the door. Although she was still at the threshold, her sword aura had already soared into the sky.

But her stunningly beautiful face made the bright moon lose its luster, and the flowers in the building felt ashamed.

Her beautiful eyes swept over Chilie, but the first person they landed on was Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe smiled slightly.

The newcomer then bowed to Wan Dongliu: "I came uninvited, looking for Young Master Wan to have a drink."

Wan Dongliu laughed loudly: "Drink as much as you want!"

Chilie looked at the newcomer with a somewhat solemn expression. He didn't expect that the person who gave him such pressure was actually a stunningly beautiful woman. But the guest list he knew didn't have this person.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

He slowly asked: "Who are you?"

The newcomer finally looked at him and answered indifferently: "Central Plains Divine Land, Yue Hongling!"
