Chapter 1079 - 1078: The Enemy Comes Knocking
"Ordinary Mystic Iron won't do, of course. Your piece of Mystic Iron is at least a hundred thousand years old. If it's been tempered by the Golden Shell, its hardness is significantly increased. That's what I call making the best use of things. What do you know?"Tang Rao took out the Mystical Iron Rod, and Uncle Zhou grabbed it and pried it against the Red Ear Monster.
And wouldn't you know it, the Golden Shell was motionless against anything, but as soon as the Mystical Iron Rod touched it, the Golden Shell naturally fell off.
Chunks of Golden Shell fell to the ground. Tang Rao looked at the prize in hand but didn't know what to use to pick it up, and his heart was quite anxious.
"Just use chopsticks to pick it up. As long as it doesn't touch your flesh, it'll be fine."
Uncle Zhou didn't expect Tang Rao to be afraid of something.
"You should've told me earlier; you scared me half to death."
With a pair of bamboo chopsticks, Tang Rao picked up the pieces of Golden Shell and carefully placed them in a Space Ring, afraid the Golden Shell might touch something else and accidentally poison him to death.
For now, Tang Rao still had no thoughts of suicide.
All that was left was the corpse of the Red Ear Monster.
The corpses of these beasts weren't worth much, and keeping them around just made things smell bad, not to mention Tang Rao couldn't even eat the meat.
"Might as well just toss this thing out."
Tang Rao grabbed the Red Ear Monster and threw its corpse into the open sea.
With a splash, the Red Ear Monster's corpse fell into the sea.
In the next instant, Tang Rao was shocked; the Red Ear Monster was supposed to float up immediately.
What Tang Rao saw was the corpse not floating up for a long time, and when it finally did, it was in small pieces.
There was only one reason.
The Red Ear Monster was attacked by other immortal beasts below.
What kind of hatred could it be that they wouldn't even let a corpse go?
"Thank goodness I didn't go down there myself; I might have died, scared Tang Baobao to death."
Tang Rao referred to himself as Tang Baobao, almost making everyone present vomit directly.
"Tang Rao, mind your image, maintain some decency, will you?"
Uncle Zhou hadn't seen such a disgusting scene in a long time. He quickly pulled Tang Rao away. This update ıs available on novel⟡fire.net
It's always best to keep away from dangerous places.
"I want to first check how the refugee shelter is doing. Li Ze and Old Hezi are there, and they might not be able to hold the place down."
The good stuff from the Red Ear Monster had been stripped off, and Tang Rao's task was done. Next was doing what an Emperor should do.
Tang Rao opened up the granaries and distributed so much, he couldn't just ignore it.
Li Ze and Old Hezi had prayed countless times in their hearts for Tang Rao to hurry back; things were getting out of control, and if he didn't return soon, the entire settlement would crumble.
"Why do others get to eat meat while we only get noodles here? We don't care, we want to drink and eat meat too, or I'll burn this place down and see what good you do."
The shelter had been quite harmonious; people were getting along. But there's always someone who can't stand peace and harmony and comes to stir up trouble.
For just a little bit of food, a bunch of people would gather to create a fuss.
"You guys already collected meat earlier; now you're snatching things from others, isn't that just looking for trouble?"
Li Ze clenched his fists. More and more people had heard about the shelter here, so they flocked in, but unfortunately, its capacity was limited, and so was the food. Arranging it properly was tiring enough, and there was always someone messing it up; it really felt meaningless.
"Yeah, it's just stirring trouble. Aren't you all supposed to be capable and love helping others? Then go ahead and help. We want meat too; if there's no meat, you can forget about keeping this place."
The ones coming were several Immortal Emperors.
Ever since he became an Immortal Emperor, Li Ze felt the Immortal Emperors in the Land of Immortals were hardly worth anything.
After all, the former Immortal Emperors still had some dignity, never accepting charity. Now, not only did they want it, they even threatened people to provide it—truly shameless.
"Are you done causing a scene? If not, I don't mind stepping outside to have a little contest with you."
Old Hezi was stronger than Li Ze.
After all, he was a Hidden Immortal Emperor. Not many recognized Old Hezi, and he spoke lightly, which made his beard practically fly up in anger.
"A contest? Sure, it's been a while since we found a worthy opponent in the Land of Immortals. You old fart picked the right place to come die."
Tang Rao had encountered many arrogant men, but it was the first time he'd seen someone this arrogant in front of him.
A mere beginner Immortal Emperor, yet he seemed to think he was number one, as if the Emperor of Heaven was second to him.
"Really? If you want to take on the senior's strength, you should defeat me first, how about that?"
Tang Rao's appearance reassured the refugees in the shelter.
They all knew Tang Rao's strength, and before he left, he'd even left countless food supplies for them. Now that their benefactor was here to protect them, they were utterly awed by Tang Rao.
"Beat you? You all heard him, right? This kid wants us to beat him. According to his request, we might feel bad if we don't oblige."
Hahaha.
Their brought-along people laughed like jackhammers.
They looked at Tang Rao with nothing but disdain in their eyes.
"So let's beat him then!"
The man didn't even bother to introduce himself, launching a flurry of punches straight at Tang Rao.
Tang Rao easily dodged, making the punches miss.
"Can't hit, can't hit, you can't hit me."
He made a face at the man.
With such weak skills, they still dared to make a move. If it were me, I'd stuff my face into my pants pocket so I wouldn't put this shame on display.
Tang Rao knew this in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Can't hit me? I was just going easy on you. Now you'd better be prepared!"
With a sink to his Dantian, the man moved his hands, muttering who knows what, then made some gesturing moves in the air, attacking Tang Rao.
Hahaha.
Such petty tricks, they were nothing to Tang Rao...
Tang Rao spoke too soon.
He thought these young ones couldn't be too skilled, but what the young guy struck into Tang Rao's chest made him realize the matter wasn't simple.
Daring to openly challenge the place, expecting Tang Rao to intervene, and then challenging him, every step was calculated so meticulously, and Tang Rao hadn't noticed such a serious problem.
"Now do you still say I'm not good enough? My Sifu is an expert beyond this world. You garbage even thinking you're a match for me, Wang Xiong?"
The man clapped his hands, snatched a chicken leg from someone beside him, and stuffed it into his mouth.
In a few quick bites, the chicken leg was completely devoured.
"Amazing, huh? Such ruthless tactics just to snatch some chicken legs to eat?"
Tang Rao had never met such a childish man before.
"Of course not. My Sifu sent me to take your life. If you're Tang Rao, then I didn't find the wrong person."
