Chapter 280: Chapter 41 Tao Foundation Stage Combat Power Chart
While Li Fei was testing the magic he had learned in the streets, the World of Datong Prefecture was already trembling because of tonight’s battle!
Human Face Villa.
Zhang Shan’s corpse was laid before Yu Longqing.
All the subordinates around had retreated, not daring to stay near the “Beast King” who might fly into a rage at any mont.
Yu Longqing’s expression was grim as he gazed at the half-headed corpse of Zhang Shan.
It was said that the “Beast King” was brutal and bloodthirsty, often throwing subordinates who disappointed him to the exotic beasts, and although this was true, he was also the most generous to his subordinates.
As long as one had the ability, the qualifications, or made a contribution, he didn’t mind piling the most resources onto them.
Zhang Shan had followed Yu Longqing for sixteen years and was his longest-serving subordinate.
When Zhang Shan first joined Yu Longqing, he was only a martial artist in the Body Breaking Late Stage. Because of his outstanding performance in a fierce battle where he dared to risk his life, he got Yu Longqing’s appreciation and was rewarded 100,000 on the spot!
In those years, 100,000 was worth much more than it is now, and for a martial artist in the Body Breaking Stage, that was already an incredible fortune.
Later, with that money, Zhang Shan successfully broke through to the Qi Change Stage, and then beca even more daring in battle, making him the most willing to take risks under Yu Longqing’s command.
Actually, with Zhang Shan’s aptitude, breaking through to the Tao Foundation Stage was not so easy, but because he was willing to go all out, Yu Longqing was also willing to spend money on him, supplying all kinds of top-grade elixirs without sparing any expense, finding the best doctors and dicine for injuries…
Thus, in just seven years, Zhang Shan broke through to the Tao Foundation Stage and beca Yu Longqing’s First Master.
In sixteen years, Yu Longqing had invested over ten million on Zhang Shan!
That was a treatnt many powerful forces’ Tao Foundation Stage experts couldn’t receive.
Now, Zhang Shan was dead.
What infuriated Yu Longqing wasn’t just the fact that all the resources invested were wasted, but the consecutive two failures.
The first ti, he sent Zhang Shan to Xing City to deal with the Green-faced Ghost, but he was captured instead.
The second ti, he was gone for good…
Yu Longqing despised failure, which is why he threw subordinates who were unsuccessful in their tasks to the exotic beasts.
He usually gave subordinates two chances, the first failure was okay, but if they failed a second ti, the consequences would be dire.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the ground started to shake.
In the woods, a colossal creature was moving towards them.
Soon, an exotic beast over five ters tall, with a body covered in dark red scales, a tiger head, and a pair of curved long horns, arrived by Yu Longqing’s side.
Seeing this beast, Yu Longqing’s eyes showed unusual tenderness. He smiled and extended his hand.
The five-ter-tall beast imdiately lowered its body, bowing its head to let Yu Longqing pat the long horns on its head.
This was a Demon Qilin Horned Tiger Beast, of the fifth rank upper class!
Fourth rank exotic beasts could compete with Refining Strength Martial Masters, fifth rank beasts were comparable to Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses, and fifth rank upper class exotic beasts, in terms of combat power, even Zhang Shan was not confident he could win against.
Thus, this was the true reliance of the “Beast King.”
Yu Longqing patted his ‘pet’ before turning and walking away.
The “Beast King’s” rules have never changed, and Zhang Shan could not be an exception.
…
The Green-faced Ghost was surrounded and attacked, but ended up killing two Tao Foundation Stage and three Refining Strength Martial Masters, and even captured a Tao Foundation Stage alive!
Such achievents spread through Datong Prefecture City overnight, leaving everyone shocked.
The bet between Li Fei and the Chu Family only gave a glimpse of hope that the Zhang Family might survive the crisis. The Green-faced Ghost’s battle truly demonstrated deterrence!
Early in the morning, Li Fei received a call from Shangguan Xiao:
“Did you go to Fenghua Avenue last night?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell ahead of ti?”
Shangguan Xiao’s tone had a mix of bla and worry.
“It turned out fine, didn’t it?”
Li Fei chuckled, “You don’t have to worry, Aunt Master.”
“It was too risky. If sothing like this happens again, you must tell in advance!”
Shangguan Xiao said sternly.
“Alright.”
Li Fei amicably agreed, “Aunt Master, after last night’s battle, the major forces will definitely pull back a lot. I think you don’t have to consider moving back to Datong Prefecture City for the ti being.”
Shangguan Xiao’s heart ward at his words, but she still sighed:
“In terms of combat power, your performance last night has already surpassed my father’s when he was alive, and with the addition of the Zhang Family having another Tao Foundation Stage like , we are actually stronger in terms of overall military strength than when my father was around, but it still does not scare the major forces. Do you know why?”
Li Fei fell silent for a mont before replying:
“Because the Zhang Family lacks a Sitting Official, their influence on the official side has diminished too much, and also because the Green-faced Ghost can be killed.”
“Yes.”
Shangguan Xiao sighed.
The Zhang Family currently had five Imperial Officials, and with Shangguan Xiao, that made six.
But the major forces had each brought in a bunch of Imperial Officials who supported them, so their influence on the official side was not weak.
Previously, what truly put the Zhang Family above the major forces was Zhang Zongyang, the Helmsman of the Zhi Ge General Hospital, who was a real high-rank figure in Datong Prefecture.
It could be said that even without a single Imperial Official, as long as Zhang Zongyang was in position for a day, the Zhang Family would still be among the top three great families of Datong Prefecture!
Such was the influence of a fourth-grade Sitting Official, and also why many people thought the Zhang Family was going to fall as soon as Zhang Zongyang died.
Now, even though the Zhang Family had support from Shangguan Xiao and the Green-faced Ghost and was stronger than before in terms of overall military strength, no one had dared to move against Zhang Zongyang back then.
