669: Chapter 669: A Step Away!
Inoue Kazuo has arrived, but what about the people from Xuan Country?
Under the watchful eye of the crowd, a stretch Lincoln slowly made its way through the throng and finally ca to a stop.
One could see Inoue Kazuo slowly disembarking from the black stretch Lincoln.
At that mont, Inoue Kazuo beca the center of attention.
Instantly, endless cheers rang out.
Whether from the Yamaguchi Group, Sony Group, or Matsushita Group’s executives, all paid their respects to Inoue Kazuo.
In the whole Bei Country, martial arts are the most revered.
Inoue Kazuo looked around and then, fixing his gaze on the Winter Capital Sky Tree in the distance, he stepped into the air and walked among the clouds.
As the strongest in Bei Country, Inoue Kazuo possessed the power of Martial Arts Peak.
Soon, he stood atop the Winter Capital Sky Tree, then looked down upon the ground as if gazing upon ants.
He then loudly shouted, “Tang Zhong, I, Inoue Kazuo, have arrived, where are you?”
A booming shout spread across the venue like a sonic wave, then surged towards the surroundings.
In an instant, the entire place erupted in cheers.
Their people from Bei Country had arrived, yet there was still no sign of anyone from Xuan Country.
“Is that Xuan Country person scared?”
“Haha, they’re late, definitely scared!”
“Xuan Country folk are such cowards, they agree to a bet but now they don’t even dare to show up, what losers!”
The whole venue was mocking the people from Xuan Country.
Inoue Kazuo, standing atop the Sky Tree, wore a cold smile.
After this battle, their Bei Country would surely beco famous throughout the world, so what was Xuan Country in comparison?
Now, more and more people from Bei Country believed that Tang Zhong was scared, which was why he had not yet appeared.
And many from Xuan Country were also paying close attention to this duel.
Even though they were not present, they were using special ans to keep inford.
On the martial arts forum, the absence of Tang Zhong had already dominated the discussion.
“Tang Zhong didn’t go?
Then isn’t this a disaster?”
“Yes, this duel is between Bei Country and Xuan Country.
If he doesn’t show up, wouldn’t that an admitting Xuan Country is inferior to Bei Country?”
“What’s up with Tang Zhong?
Knowing he can’t beat the opponent, is he now just not showing up?
But if he knew he couldn’t win, why did he challenge the other party in the first place?
Isn’t that like digging a hole for himself to jump into?”
More and more people who originally had a good impression of Tang Zhong, thinking him an unparalleled genius, now spoke less favorably upon seeing that Tang Zhong was still absent in the face of Bei Country.
After all, when facing other nations, one could lose or not attend, but facing Bei Country was different.
Not only must one show up, but one must also win.
Yet Tang Zhong had chosen to evade.
However, to so people, this news was welco.
Zhang Changgong felt it was the right decision; a person’s life should be valued above all else.
Those who hoped that Tang Zhong was safe breathed a sigh of relief upon learning this, as it was the best news for them.
So long as Tang Zhong lived, there was still hope.
This was the topic of discussion among everyone.
One mile away from Winter Capital, up in the mountains.
Tang Zhong was still seated in the lotus position with his eyes tightly closed.
During this period, he had constantly been in a state of cultivation, striving to make himself even more powerful.
Practicing Soul Transformation in the wilderness was much more effective than other places, as if one’s soul was rging with nature itself.
Unconsciously, Tang Zhong’s soul grew stronger bit by bit.
Now, he could hear not just the call of insects but also the sound of dewdrops hitting the leaves.
The sensation was quite marvelous.
For Tang Zhong himself, this feeling was very pleasant.
However, in the eyes of Vermilion Bird beside him, Tang Zhong sitting cross-legged on the ground without cultivating Blood Power was simply courting annihilation.
A day earlier, the Vermilion Bird had reported Tang Zhong’s situation back to the organization, and the instruction she received was to follow Tang Zhong closely and not to lose sight of him.
Thus, she had been watching Tang Zhong all this ti.
Initially, she thought that Tang Zhong’s insistence on fighting Inoue Kazuo ant he had so extraordinary thod up his sleeve, but she found that he just sat there every day.
Gradually, she started to feel hopeless about Tang Zhong.
If this continued, what chance would he have against Inoue Kazuo?
Even students cram at the last minute, but Tang Zhong wasn’t even practicing.
Where did his confidence co from?
She was a martial artist too.
Occasionally glancing at her cellphone, she was aware of the discussions happening on the Xuan Country Martial Arts forums, and she didn’t bla people for talking about Tang Zhong this way because he was asking for it.
It was as though she could already see that guy nearby paying for his arrogance, but perhaps it was a good thing.
She had to admit Tang Zhong was strong.
Given ti, it wouldn’t be impossible for this guy to reach the Martial Arts Peak and sweep through the entire Bei Country martial arts world.
After a long while, Tang Zhong finally opened his eyes.
He seed even more ethereal, and he felt like he had beco more agile, able to throw around ten punches in one second.
That was the benefit of having a strong soul.
The ti was right; it was ti to go to Sky City in Winter Capital to keep his appointnt.
Seeing Tang Zhong get up, Vermilion Bird imdiately asked, “Where do you think you’re going?”
“To keep the appointnt!” Tang Zhong replied.
“You can’t go!” Vermilion Bird exclaid.
She absolutely could not let Tang Zhong act recklessly.
“Why not?” Tang Zhong was taken aback.
“You’re no match for Inoue Kazuo, so you might as well not go to your death!” Vermilion Bird quickly said.
“Who says I’m not his match?” Tang Zhong chuckled.
“Everyone is saying it.
People from Bei Country are saying it, people from Xuan Country are saying it.
In short, no one believes you are Inoue Kazuo’s match.
You may have defeated Long Aojue with your skills, but that doesn’t an you can win against everyone else.
You must know, once you step out there, it’s the entire Bei Country martial arts world you will face!” Vermilion Bird said.
“Then let them be annihilated!” Tang Zhong declared.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, his gaze fixed on the nearby Capital City.
“There you go with that statent again.
I really don’t know where your confidence cos from.
Let tell you, the martial arts of Bei Country are a legacy.
It’s not sothing you can annihilate just because you say so!” Vermilion Bird said anxiously.
“Hmm!” Tang Zhong simply nodded and then, looking towards Winter Capital in the distance, he started to sprint forward, his body suddenly soaring into the air.
The sensation was incredible.
If his grandfather had fallen here, then he would rise from this very place, sweeping across the entire martial arts world of Bei Country.
The ti was now.
At this very mont, the sunlight was just right, shining in Tang Zhong’s pupils, making them exceptionally bright.
Now was the mont.
In this instant, Tang Zhong was filled with confidence.
He rembered every word said by Caozhi Zhenyan at his death.
Tang Zhong was determined to make the entire martial arts world of Bei Country rember the na Tang Zhong, and the sword in his hand.
His body burst forward, stepping across one building after another, until at last, he was just one step away from Sky City in Winter Capital.
