With a shout, He Yangsun’s saber trembled slightly, shattering all the frost.
With one slash, he shattered the frost on the spear. He took a step back and dragged the long saber away.
He had only taken three steps when a silver Battle Armor appeared on his body.
The moment the armor appeared, his entire body turned illusory.
As Madam He thrust her long spear, He Yangsun’s figure appeared three feet to her side, gripping the long blade horizontally. The blade lightly brushed past her.
This strike came too close; Madam He’s long spear couldn’t turn around in time. She was only able to block it with the spear shaft.
“Slash—
The saber clashed with the long spear, setting off a golden streak.
He Yangsun’s body turned into a stream of light, and the blade of his saber shone with a golden light. Just three feet away from Madam He, his long saber turned into a short one that kept slashing horizontally.
Madam He wanted to create distance but couldn’t escape from He Yangsun no matter how she retreated.
The slicing saber kept entangling her, seeming to envelop her body, making the space she could move in narrower and narrower.
“Clang—
It wasn’t until 10 breaths later that He Mu found an opening, thrusting her spear to press against He Yangsun’s figure.
He Yangsun stopped attacking and took a step back. He bowed and said, “Mother, how was my combat strength?”
How was it?
Madam He nodded. The armor on her body disappeared, and she turned to leave.
With this combat power, he was definitely invincible among his peers.
Pagoda City.
The Tao family’s mansion.
A five-winged mansion, with several martial arts practice grounds on each floor.
Within the family, there were also many forges and refining rooms for forging and refining Battle Puppets and Battle Armor.
“Master, it has been investigated thoroughly.”
In the central hall, Tao Shuo, the master of the Tao family, and some other strong members of the family were present.
A young man in green armor walked in and said solemnly, “He Yangsun has opened a shop for repairing Battle Armor and Battle Puppets in the Imperial Treasure Workshop.
“Recently, there hasn’t been much business in that shop.”
Pagoda City was only so big. There were no secrets that could be kept hidden.
He Yangsun’s shop was right there. They would know after a little investigation.
He Yangsun was still the same He Yangsun, but he was no longer the young master of the He family. He was just an ordinary shopkeeper.
“That’s all?” A Tao Family Elder frowned and said in a low voice, “If that’s all, he shouldn’t have such methods.’
Most of the people in the city knew what abilities He Yangsun had in the past. It was impossible for him to defeat Tao Minghua in one strike.
“It’s said that He Yangsun’s Battle Armor and Battle Puppet are extremely powerful.” The young man in battle armor lowered his voice and said, “This is the information I spent 50 origin coins to find out.”
Extremely powerful Battle Armor and Battle Puppets?
When he fought against Tao Minghua, he didn’t even use Battle Armor and Battle Puppets.
Or perhaps, he only used a fraction of the power of the Battle Armor, not even needing to activate it fully.
Instantly, everyone in the hall looked grim.
With He Yangsun’s demonstrated strength today, coupled with even stronger Battle Puppets and Battle Armor, the Tao family had no one who could defeat him.
“Master, Young Master did not get his badge when he was certified as a level one Puppet Master, right?”
Suddenly, an old man sitting below spoke up.
These words made everyone’s eyes light up.
Tao Shuo nodded and frowned. “An unfair victory will probably affect Zhu’er’s state of mind and damage his reputation…”
The young master of the Tao family, Tao Mingzhu, was number one among his peers.
He had already been certified as a Puppet Master a month ago but he hadn’t received his badge yet.
However, he was already a level one Puppet Master.
If Tao Mingzhu were to fight He Yangsun, even if he won, it would be embarrassing if he were exposed.
“Master, do you intend to give away one of the Tao family’s shops?”
An old man below raised his head, his eyes showing concern as he spoke softly, “That’s our Tao family’s property.”
His words made everyone around him serious.
No family property should be given away for nothing!
That was the hard-earned family wealth they had accumulated.
“Master, it’s time for the young master to contribute to the Tao family.” A white-bearded elder sitting beside Tao Shuo spoke calmly.
His name was Tao Yun, the First Elder of the Tao family.
He had the cultivation of a level four Armor Master and was the strongest person in the Tao family, the backbone of the family. After Tao Yun spoke up, Tao Shuo sighed softly. “Very well.
“I’ll personally go and talk to him.”
With that, he stood up, looking at everyone. “But if Tao Mingzhu wins, one of the shops will be given to him.”
Hearing his words, everyone in the hall smiled.
“Master, as the young master wins, not just one shop, even two can be given away.”
“That’s right, the Tao family’s property belongs to the master and the young master, doesn’t it?”
For a moment, there was a sense of relief in the conversation among the people,
With Tao Mingzhu’s strength, there was no need to worry about losing.
It was just a matter of how to win.
Overnight, news of the He family and He Yangsun’s gambling match spread throughout the not-so-large Pagoda City.
Many people who had previously ignored the He family were now asking about them.
They were curious about how He Yangsun managed to turn the tide and whether he could win another round.
Early the next morning, the platform for the gambling match was already packed with people.
By noon, there was already a sea of people.
“The Tao family is here!” Someone whispered, causing everyone to turn their heads.
“Who will the Tao family send to the stage today?”
“Among the younger generation of the Tao family, it’s hard to find someone who can defeat He Yangsun!”
Many people were guessing who could defeat He Yangsun.
But soon, the representative of the Tao family appeared on the stage.
“Tao family’s young master, Tao Mingzhu!”
“What’s going on? Hasn’t Tao Mingzhu already been certified as a level one Armor Master? How come he’s facing an apprentice?”
Below the stage, there was a stir of discussion.
Armor Masters and Puppet Masters had their own dignity and followed the rules..
