Chapter 1166: The Hunting Squad That Lived On the Edge of the Blade

Lu Zhou put away the Supreme Mystic Card, feeling much more confident. The pressure of being in the Unknown Land had mostly disappeared with the appearance of the card. This was, in fact, just a psychological effect since the environment did not change at all.

“Why did Old Second only complete his apprenticeship now?” Lu Zhou wondered out loud. He took a look at his Birth Palace before he recited the incantation for the power of sight.

When his eyes glowed blue, scenes after scenes appeared in front of his eyes.

“Old Eighth, your cultivation has improved tremendously, but you haven’t grasped the essence of your Nine Tribulations Thunderblast’s fist technique. If you rely on brute force alone, it’ll be easy for others to surpass you…” Yu Shangrong said.

Yu Shangrong was the kind to challenge those who were stronger than him. When he had three leaves, he could kill those with six leaves; when he had six leaves, he could kill those with seven leaves; when he had eleven leaves, he could kill those with five Birth Charts.

Zhu Honggong was the opposite. He would never challenge someone stronger than him!

At this moment, Zhu Honggong pressed his hand against his swollen face and touched his panda-like eyes before he asked, “I understand. Senior Brother, can I have a day to rest tomorrow?”

Yu Shangrong frowned slightly. “After being embarrassed, you should become even more courageous. However, not only do you not feel ashamed, but you’re even so weak?”

Thud!

“I was wrong!” Zhu Honggong said, aggrieved, as he fell to his knees.

Then, Yu Shangrong shifted his gaze to Mingshi Yin who was standing at the side. “Old Fourth, what about you?”

Mingshi Yin, who was also bruised and swollen, touched his cheek. He winced in pain before he said, “It really hurts. However, these are superficial injuries! They’re a reflection of Second Senior Brother’s exquisite and superb swordsmanship. This is especially so when combined with the golden halo and sharp blades… How admirable! Second Senior Brother, you’ve created your own sword style…”

Zhu Honggong. “?”

Mingshi Yin glanced at Zhu Honggong, who was looking at him with round eyes, he said, “Idiot, what are you looking at me for?”

Zhu Honggong lowered his head; his heart was filled with grievances. His fourth senior brother had stolen these words from him! How unreasonable!

Yu Shangrong did not bother with his two junior brothers’ exchange. He said to Mingshi Yin, “Old Fourth, my swordsmanship is just at the rudimentary stage. I still need to study the Guiyuan Sword Technique and slowly hone my skills before I can fully develop my own sword style. In order to do that, I need a decent opponent.” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Your earlier words have moved my heart. Hence, over the next period of time, I’ll have to trouble you to spar with me to help me improve my swordsmanship…”

Mingshi Yin. “???”

Pfft!

Zhu Honggong could not hold back his laughter and burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands to suppress his laughter. He could feel two pairs of eyes staring at him, and it made him feel like ants were crawling
