Chapter 110: Realm of Mortals (13)

Warden Xiao Tongs transaction was definitely not something ordinary people could easily fulfil. No matter what the reward was, the price must be huge.

Tang Cuo didnt know what happened between Jin Cheng and Xiao Tong, but combined with what Xiao Tong said to Jin Cheng when they met just now and the changes that happened to the bald girl after she went to jail, Tang Cuo suspected that this transaction Xiao Tong mentioned had something to do with Jin Cheng and the little girl.

Are you interested in staying in Zone G and becoming The Warden? Xiao Tong asked.

As expected.

Although Tang Cuo didnt think that Xiao Tong was looking for a successor, this wasnt too out of his prediction either. He asked back: It shouldnt be that Yong Ye City needs you to find your own replacement?

Its not compulsory, but since its a position that used to belong to me, I want to make the decision myself. Yong Ye City Xiao Tong suddenly smiled: Do you want to listen to Yong Ye City for everything? To leave your life and death in its hands?

Tang Cuo: Its not the same thing.

The way I see it, its the same thing. Xiao Tong shook the stick slightly, stretched it out and let it touch the ground, at which moment it turned into a walking cane. Leaning on the cane, he looked over the entire cemetery and said: I can see that Jin Cheng and you are the same kind of man. Dont you both want to know the secret of Yong Ye City? As long as you become The Warden, you can get close to that secret, and you could even become its master.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Master. These two syllables made Tang Cuos heart tremble a little. It seemed that there was really something hidden in Yong Ye City, but so what?

Since the great Warden knows that we are the same kind of man, you shouldve guessed it. If he rejects you, I will too. Tang Cuo said.

Xiao Tong: Dont you want to hear about the bargaining chips I have to offer?

Tang Cuo: The [Twelve Movements]?

Hearing this, Xiao Tong finally raised his eyebrows. From this moment to the next, Tang Cuo always seemed to know beforehand what he was going to say, coupled with that face full of righteousness. If Tang Cuo were his opponent, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood.

The [Twelve Movements] cant move you, can they? Xiao Tongs tone was relaxed. He didnt use his aura to suppress Tang Cuo, and he didnt look angry either.

Blame Jin Cheng, Tang Cuo said.

This overly concise sentence made Xiao Tong raise his eyebrows again. He vaguely understood the overtones of these words but didnt want to continue. Tang Cuo politely explained to him: Ive seen them a tad too often, couldnt be wowed anymore.

Xiao Tong smiled angrily.

Now he could quite understand why Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo were together. Looking at this manner of speech that really annoyed people to the core, the student had actually gotten better than the teacher. What a perfect match.

It seems that Ive made a fool of myself. Xiao Tong wasnt angry; he was really not angry at all. He actually knew that Tang Cuo would definitely not agree, but he wanted to give it a try nevertheless. Wouldnt teasing a little friend bring a bit of fun to his boring life?

Moreover, this little friend was rather rebellious, the type that always tried to avoid meeting his elders. This little friend wasnt happy to play games with him at all. Xiao Tong went through so much trouble to catch Tang Cuo, so how could he be contented without letting this little friend shed a few tears first?

The calmer Xiao Tong seemed to be, the more vigilant Tang Cuo became. Especially when the corners of Xiao Tongs mouth tugged up again, Tang Cuos alertness reached its peak.

He couldnt help but squeeze the hilt of the sword, and at this point, Xiao Tong finally let out these words: Three minutes. As long as you could stand against me for three minutes, the game is cleared.

As his voice fell, Xiao Tong made a please gesture at Tang Cuo. The stick hadnt moved, but the string of tiny golden bells on his wrist clinked as he raised his hand.

Somehow, Tang Cuo was reminded of Aesop The Rebel. These two felt very similar, but there was no doubt that Xiao Tong was much more terrifying than Aesop.

Ting ting.

Amidst the ringing, the stick was raised, then it heavily clanged against the ground.

Ting ting.

As a massive pressure spread out, Tang Cuos expression changed at once. He wanted to mobilise his spiritual power to fight, but the bells ringing permeated his mind with ease, sending his spirits into chaos.

Tang Cuo couldnt use all his strength to resist the coercion, and his whole body seemed to be crushed by a heavy load, feeling much weightier than usual.

Ting ting.

But Tang Cuo didnt hesitate. He swung his sword and forcibly broke out.

Xiao Tong directly faced Tang Cuos sword tip, not trying to hide at all. When the tip of the sword was about to pierce his chest, he dodged to the side. His whole movement looked as though he was walking leisurely through a garden, but during the whole time, Tang Cuos sword couldnt touch him at all.

Ah ah ah ah ah The Horror Doll let out a scream, temporarily blocking the sounds of the bells. But Tang Cuo also didnt hope that he could deal damage to Xiao Tong with a single strike, instead, taking advantage of the second Xiao Tong was ducking, he jumped away to keep a distance from the man.

He turned around and pulled out a card, and a gusty Meteor Rain fell down.

This was one of the cards in the [Immortal Poet Li Bai] series, and there was only one last use left on it.

Meteors rained down from the sky, dragging with them dazzling tails that shrouded everything within five meters from Xiao Tong. But Xiao Tong raised the swinging stick, and before anyone could even catch what fancy moves he was using, the black stick neatly smashed a meteor.

One after another, those meteors couldnt get close at all. In the next second, he shot a meteor towards Tang Cuo, which moved almost twice as fast as when it was descending from the sky.

Tang Cuo leapt up from the tombstone with full force as he held the sword in both hands, then he slashed down and busted the meteor into pieces. In a blink, Xiao Tongs figure broke through the area that the meteors were covering, and the sight of that black stick continuously magnified in Tang Cuos eyes.

Clang The moment the stick and the sword smacked against each other, the sudden impact lifted all the smoke and dust around them.

Puff! An arrow thrust into the monsters shoulder, almost piercing through its body.

The five players who retreated to the intersection saw the two big bosses easily take the First BloodA game term that refers to the first shedding of blood in a match., Even though they had been following these two closely this whole time, their faces couldnt help but reveal such awed expressions.

On the other side, Tang Cuos HP had fallen to 21.

At this time, only 30 seconds had passed since the start of the battle.

In just 30 seconds, Tang Cuos brain had seemingly turned into clockwork, his every move the result of countless plans.

This was also attributed to the increased Intelligence given to him by the dozens of soul light balls. Although it couldnt improve his actual IQ, in that short second, the flow of Tang Cuos spirits seemed to slow down, allowing him to think more.

Three minutes sounded very short, but Xiao Tongs attack power was too high. As soon as he hit Tang Cuo with all his might, Tang Cuos HP might directly drop to zero.

What did Tang Cuo have?

[Horror Doll]? This had limited effectiveness in resisting the string of golden bells.

Sprint? Air Walk? Fireball? These little tricks didnt seem to be very useful against Xiao Tong. The card had been used up, while the revolver and [Gatling Gun] couldnt cause any harm to Xiao Tong. All that was left was

Moonlight Tide!

A sudden wave of magic and a strike from the legendary-grade equipment made Xiao Tong retreat quickly. At this juncture, Tang Cuo couldnt afford to save more tombstones. The Moonlight Tide chased Xiao Tong away, and everywhere it spread to was turned into dust, dissolved into the moonlight.

No matter how fast Xiao Tong retreated, he couldnt be faster than the wave that was rippling out in sheer seconds, and in the blink of an eye, he was flooded by the moonlight.

Tang Cuo didnt dare to let his vigilance down as his mouth kept chanting an obscure spell. After a few breaths, many small fireballs gathered around him.

Because of the increase in his Intelligence points, coupled with the blessings given by the [Magic Stone That Is Of No Use], he was now able to create fireballs very quickly, almost instantaneously, and chanting the spell was only a minor aid. Facing Xiao Tong, he didnt have the nerve to relax even one bit.

About 15 seconds later, the moonlight scattered away, and Xiao Tongs figure reappeared in the cemetery. Although his clothes were damaged in many places and there was a trace of blood on his cheeks, he stood upright with his stick thrust into the ground, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking all so very calm.

Anything else? Xiao Tong asked. He watched Tang Cuos first two battles and knew that Tang Cuo must have a trump card, but he didnt expect that it would be taken out so early. That was a big move.

A legendary-grade equipment was truly exciting.

Despite his mental preparation, Tang Cuos heart sank when he saw Xiao Tong appear almost unscathed in front of him. To say that these three minutes was a fair-and-square battle was as good as telling a joke.

Even though Tang Cuo didnt answer, Xiao Tong wasnt bothered by one of two seconds that had been wastefully dragged. He glanced over the fireballs around Tang Cuo, a mischievous shade exuding from his face: Are they the kind of sparks that can cause conflagration? No, theyre just tiny fireballs.

What could some small fireballs make? Xiao Tong was looking forward to it, but Tang Cuo wasnt moving, so he had to strike first.

Swoosh! Tang Cuo only felt his eyes wobble, then Xiao Tong, who was originally standing at the other end of the cemetery, appeared right in front of him. The swinging stick hit his head like an electric light.

At the critical moment, Tang Cuo unexpectedly turned his body sideways, and at the same time, he raised his sword to block. But the impact of this blow was too large, to the extent that the instant his [Sword of Judgment] came into contact with [Ruleless], Tang Cuo felt a huge force engulf his entire body, as though all his bones were breaking. Not to mention, because of this attack, the string of golden bells around Xiao Tongs wrist started ringing again.

Ting ting.

Tang Cuo immediately bit the tip of his tongue and forcibly kept himself calm, and simultaneously, the fireballs surrounding him suddenly exploded.

Even if there were a thousand of these tiny fireballs, Xiao Tong wouldnt pay them any mind, but at the moment they blew up, Xiao Tong caught a troubling smell from the flames.

Xiao Tong looked at Tang Cuo again to find that he had suddenly regained his strength and broken out of the flames range by borrowing the momentum of Xiao Tongs blow.

Hes got something up his sleeves.

Xiao Tong immediately withdrew, but just as he stopped ten meters away, he suddenly felt his head going giddy. And even with his immense powers, he couldnt rid his spirits of this dizziness in a short period of time.

What is this? He looked at Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo leaned on his sword as he knelt on one knee, turned his head and spit out a mouthful of blood. Then he looked up at Xiao Tong and replied: Some illusion-inducing stuff.

It was [Tears of The Secret Lake] obtained from the dungeon [Forest of The Elves], a gift from the unicorn Ammo. This is a high-quality material with a strong hallucinogenic effect. It was meant to be used to make potions or equipment, but Tang Cuo, one who never walked the path of a common man, had mixed a drop of tear into one of the fireballs that exploded earlier.

A high-quality material of Yong Ye City wouldnt evaporate simply because of his mere Fireball skill, but a big fire could cause the tear drop to evaporate into a mist, which spread out at the speed of light.

At this point, one minute and 46 seconds had passed by.

Xiao Tongs spirits had been gravely disturbed, and Tang Cuo took this opportunity to gulp down his last potion. He had no other way, for his HP had dropped to 3 after receiving a single blow.

But as his points increased, the proportion of HP that a healing potion could replenish decreased. After a full flask of potion, it recovered to only 95.

Theres still more than a minute left, how are you going to make it? Xiao Tong lightly tapped his forehead. He still felt a little light-headed, but this didnt stop him from teasing the little friend.

Tang Cuo: Embrace myself.

Xiao Tong didnt expect that he would really answer that question. This response was really the style of a true warrior, and at this moment, another five seconds had passed. Xiao Tong shook his stick and smiled: Weve delayed it long enough. Im going to make a real move next.
