Chapter 56: Refusing the Invitation
"Two special attributes? This...” Tang Xinyi's heart was no longer calm at this time, the acceleration of wind attribute and the deceleration of ice attribute, the combination of these two attributes could make a warrior defeat his opponent beyond his level.
If he can defeat Mu Ke, I will recruit him into the Western City Garrison no matter what. At this time, Tang Xinyi had already taken a liking to Su Ming, not in a romantic way, but as a talent.
"Brahma Blade - Inferno Slash." Mu Ke saw Su Ming dodging his attacks non-stop, and immediately switched from single-target mode to full-attack mode. The Inferno Slash was an AoE skill, and after he swung his sword, the area within tens of meters around him became a sea of flames. Su Ming would definitely not be able to dodge it, as this was an omnidirectional attack.
"Let's see how you escape." Mu Kei revealed a triumphant smile on his face after unleashing the Fire Ocean Burning Forest, thinking that even if Su Ming was faster, he still couldn't escape this attack. As long as he got burned by the fire ocean, he would definitely lose and disfigure himself. Mu Kei had already prepared to wait for Su Ming's surrender.
"With just this small flame, you think you can hurt me? How laughable." Su Ming didn't dodge this time, instead he forcefully resisted the flames and charged straight at Mu Kei, who was shocked and hastily raised his sword to defend himself.
Su Ming swung his sword and flashed past, circling to the left of Mu Ke, his left hand forming a palm shape, and let out a low shout: "Pi Yun Palm."
Boom
Su Ming struck the wooden slab with one palm, and at the same time, the flames around him also disappeared instantly. Except for a small patch of burnt hair and clothes from the beginning, he was completely unscathed.
The wooden slab that had fallen to the ground got up and attacked like Su Ming, in all these years he had never been so embarrassed, and his Brahma Blade had always been invincible, even if Tang Xinyi possessed water attributes, she could still easily resist his attack.
If Mu Ke knew that Su Ming had an ice attribute, he probably wouldn't have used the Brahma Blade. Water overcomes fire, and ice is a special existence of water, so Mu Ke's fire-attribute attack couldn't hurt Su Ming at all, but instead made it easier for Su Ming to defeat him.
"Mr. Mu Ke, it's better not to fight again." Zhang Shu stopped Mu Ke and said in a low voice, he did this with Tang Xinyi's permission, not only showing kindness to Su Ming, but also letting Mu Ke stop losing face.
"I don't even know your son's name yet." Zhang Shu asked with a slight smile.
"Su Ming, Su Ming's Su, Su Ming's Ming." Su Ming smiled and said.
"Su Ming, this name is not bad, how has your grandfather Su Hao been recently?" Zhang Shu continued to ask.
"My grandfather has been in seclusion for a long time and I haven't seen him for a while, he should be about to break through the late stage of Tianling. " Su Ming knew that the man in front of him must know his own grandfather, and their relationship shouldn't be ordinary, but the age was much younger than his own grandfather, which made Su Ming dare not speak the truth."
"It's still in the middle of Tianling realm, what a pity! At first, I let him follow me into Xicheng Prefecture, he didn't listen, and insisted on establishing his own Su clan tribe. Now look at him, his cultivation has been delayed." Zhang Shu said with a regretful face.
"Uncle Zhang, are you friends with my grandfather?" Su Ming saw sincerity in Uncle Zhang's eyes and didn't feel any malice.
"Your grandfather was once my elder brother." Zhang Shu sighed: "Go back and tell him, Zhang San Yuan is already in the middle stage of Tianling Realm, ask if he can meet at Xicheng Prefecture."
"Uncle Zhang, I will definitely bring this up." Su Ming slightly bowed his head and respectfully replied. The three words "Zhang San Yuan" were still familiar to him.
Once, Su Lao mentioned Zhang San Yuan to him. At that time, Su Hao was wandering in the Western City Prefecture and got acquainted with four people. After several years of wandering together, they were called the "Western City Five Tigers" by the scattered cultivators of the Western City Prefecture. Su Hao ranked first, and Zhang San Yuan ranked fifth. When Su Hao entered the Tianling Realm, the reputation of the Western City Five Tigers spread throughout the entire Tang's Western City. Unfortunately, good times did not last long. During a reckless hunt for a fifth-grade demon beast, three people were seriously injured and one died.
After recovering from his injuries, Su Hao decided not to continue as a wandering martial artist, but instead prepare to establish the Su Clan. He wanted to have children and enjoy his later years in peace. At that time, two of the four brothers agreed, but Zhang San Yuan refused. In the end, three people left Xi Cheng Prefecture to establish the Su Clan, while Zhang San Yuan joined Xi Cheng Prefecture. The blink of an eye, decades passed, although the Su Clan became the number one clan in Xi Cheng Prefecture, Zhang San Yuan's strength had become the strongest among the original five tigers.
"Su Ming, are you really unwilling to join the Western City Palace?" Tang Xinyi still didn't give up and wanted to bring Su Ming back to the Western City Palace. She believed that with the strength of the Western City Palace, they could definitely cultivate Su Ming into an even more outstanding person, and at that time, his father's wish would also be fulfilled.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Miss Tang. Su Ming doesn't want to leave the Su Clan temporarily, please forgive me." Su Ming said with a slight bow, respectfully.
"When you've come around, come find me at Xicheng Prefecture anytime, I'll be waiting for you." Tang Xinyi said with a smile.
Tang Xinyi's words gave the young man behind her a feeling of wanting to go crazy, they had never seen Tang Xinyi treat any man with such care, and the most deadly thing was that this man was younger than them, and handsome.
Tang Xinyi finished speaking and led more than 20 martial artists towards the entrance of the desolate forest. Watching them leave, Su Ming let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he felt that his back was already drenched in sweat. Fortunately, Zhang San Yuan was his grandfather's brother, and he possessed ice attributes; otherwise, he would have been dead by now.
He slowly calmed his mind, and Su Ming ran into the big lake to wash away the dirt on his body. He also washed his tattered clothes clean, but unfortunately, wearing wet clothes was really uncomfortable, which made him want to have fire properties. However, as soon as he wanted to swallow the sky fire, this idea was instantly dispelled.
"Master, why didn't you accept Tang Xinyi's invitation? She meets the standards of your ideal woman, doesn't she make your heart flutter?"
"Little elf, your thinking is still not humanized enough. You say that with my current appearance, I can go back to the Western City with them at most as a promising warrior to be cultivated, but it's impossible for me to get Tang Xinyi's attention. Moreover, I'm covered in filth, and I estimate that even before we reach the Western City, they'll already be disgusted with me."
"So it was like this after all, it seems that Young Master still has a long-term vision."
"That's for sure, once my strength reaches the First Heaven Great Perfection and surpasses Mu Ke, at that time the City Master will definitely focus on cultivating me. Who knows, he might even marry his daughter to me." Su Ming said with a smile, gazing into the distance.
"Master, let's not get ahead of ourselves. You're only at the Mid-Heavenly stage for now; it's still too early to reach the Great Heavenly Completion."
"It seems so, I'll have to stay in this wilderness for a few more days." Su Ming rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Young master, are you going to complete the cultivation of god or devil first? There are suitable targets for you around here."
"Let's repair the magic, and only when our defense is strengthened can we fight against the fourth-order demon beast." Su Ming said without hesitation.
Su Ming's answer once again earned the disdain of the little elf, still choosing to do the simple ones first and always thinking of leaving the difficult ones till last.
