After Yao Yue and Long Tianba chatted for half a day, Yao Yue went to his Third Uncle's place to pay his respects.
His Third Uncle, Long Aoyuan, was in a much better state. From the looks of it, he was ready to recover his strength at any time.
"Yue Er, I see that you are full of energy. Have you reached the Postliminary Realm?" Although Long Aoyuan was crippled, his eyesight was still there.
"Third Uncle, you are right. I am now a Yuan General!" Yao Yue nodded.
"Good. With this speed of improvement, I believe that you will become a Xiantian Yuan King in a few years!"
"Now that your grandfather is resting at home, you can leave the matter of the Green Ox Veins Vine to him. I really want to get better and kill all those bastards." Long Aoyuan said with a look of admiration. "Now that your grandfather is resting at home, you can leave the matter of the Green Ox Veins Vine to him.
Long Aoyuan showed a hint of resentment. Obviously, he felt that it was unfair for his father, Long Tianba!
Long Aoyuan did not believe that his father was the cause of two consecutive defeats with heavy losses. He had already received news that someone had deliberately stabbed his father in the back, causing the two defeats.
Therefore, he could not wait to get better as soon as possible and seek justice for his father!
"Third Uncle, don't worry. That day is not far away!" Yao Yue replied solemnly.
This time, he had already planned to make a trip to Jueyao Ridge. The next time he returned, it would be the time when his Third Uncle stood up again!
Yao Yue chatted with Long Aoyuan for a while before leaving.
The people in the residence had already prepared a banquet. He called his grandfather and two brothers to eat together.
Yao Yue did this to introduce his grandfather to Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei.
After all, his grandfather was the Army God, a hero and idol in the hearts of countless people. Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei had admired him for a long time!
Sure enough, when the two of them saw the Long Tianba, they became nervous and restrained, not daring to say more than a few words.
On the other hand, Long Tianba was much more easy-going. At the same time, he knew that the two youths in front of him were quite talented. They might become good helpers for Yao Yue in the future.
After the meal, Yao Yue arranged for his two brothers to relax in the fu. He originally wanted to go visit his mother and Hu Mei Er, but after hesitating for a while, he dismissed the idea. He would go visit them the next morning.
When night fell, Yao Yue called Xiao Zhan over to find out what had happened in the Long family.
Xiao Zhan was an orphan. He joined the Long family when he was very young and became one of the Long family's generals. He was nurtured by Yao Yue's father-in-law, Long Aoren. In his heart, he saw Long Aoren as his father.
Now that the Long family was weak, he wouldn't leave the Long family because he already saw himself as a member of the Long family. No matter dead or alive, he would always be a member of the Long family.
Yao Yue hadn't seen Xiao Zhan for a while. He noticed that Xiao Zhan's expression had become colder, as if everyone owed him three hundred taels. No one dared to casually get close to him.
However, Yao Yue understood that Xiao Zhan was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"Big brother Xiao, how about we exchange a few moves?" Yao Yue asked Xiao Zhan.
He remembered that half a year ago, Xiao Zhan was the one who protected him. At that time, he used Xiao Zhan as his role model and worked hard to become stronger.
Now, not only did he have the confidence to fight Xiao Zhan, he even had the confidence to defeat Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan didn't waste any words with Yao Yue and simply replied, "Come!"
"Then watch carefully!" Yao Yue lightly shouted and suddenly threw a punch at Xiao Zhan.
Demon Aura Tactics' Form Attack!
His fist was like a tiger's roar as it flew out, bringing with it a dense murderous aura.
Yao Yue only controlled the force of his fist to be around five hundred kilograms. He only wanted to test Xiao Zhan's true strength.
Xiao Zhan didn't dodge and threw a punch of his own.
However, when Xiao Zhan came into contact with Yao Yue's fist, he felt a pain in his arm and his body took two steps back.
"Big brother Xiao, use your full strength. Otherwise, you won't be my match!" Yao Yue said to Ru Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with astonishment. This time, he took the initiative to attack and his strength increased by a lot.
Xiao Zhan only practiced one set of fist techniques, and that was the Frenzy Fist!
He had already practiced the Frenzy Fist to the extreme. A murderous aura pervaded his body, giving people a feeling of fear.
Yao Yue's eyes flashed with excitement. He once again attacked with his Form Attack and controlled the force to be around five hundred kilograms.
However, this time, Yao Yue was pushed back half a step. It was obvious that Xiao Zhan had used his full strength and displayed the strength of an upper-grade Origin General.
"That's more like it!" Yao Yue shouted and threw out another punch.
Yao Yue's fist energy was incomparably fast. It was as if the shadow of a demonic beast was constantly flashing. Sometimes it was a tiger's head, sometimes it was a wolf's head, and sometimes it was a bear's roar …
The Demon Aura Tactics' Form Attack combined the various demonic beast attacks of Yao Yue together. It allowed him to use them smoothly and better display their might!
Otherwise, if his demonic arts weren't integrated, every move and style would be messy and without any order to speak of!
The more Xiao Zhan fought with Yao Yue, the more shocked he became. He didn't expect Yao Yue to be able to suppress him in battle in less than a year's time.
What kind of cultivation talent was this!
"Looks like I have to use my full strength!"
Xiao Zhan pondered in his heart. He gradually released his power as his eyes turned scarlet.
It was as if he had entered a battlefield and displayed the full power of the Frenzy Fist. Every punch could kill a person!
Yao Yue felt Xiao Zhan's terrifying killing intent and felt the true essence of the Frenzy Fist. It was quite strenuous for him to parry.
Xiao Zhan had already treated Yao Yue as an enemy. That indomitable aura was able to suppress opponents of the same level!
If it wasn't for Yao Yue's extremely fast reaction speed, he would have been hit in the vitals by Xiao Zhan.
Yao Yue was certain that Xiao Zhan already possessed the strength of an upper-grade Origin General. His strength had already reached one thousand five hundred kilograms!
This was considered the strength of a late-stage upper-grade Origin General. It was much stronger than an ordinary upper-grade Origin General!
Yao Yue also raised his strength to one thousand five hundred kilograms. Relying on his demonic leopard like reaction speed, he was evenly matched with Xiao Zhan. It was quite intense.
After an hour, Xiao Zhan's back was drenched in sweat. His energy was almost depleted.
Yao Yue's condition was much better than Xiao Zhan's, but his face was covered in sweat and his breathing had become more rapid.
He forced Xiao Zhan away with a punch and retreated himself. He smiled and said, "Big Brother Xiao's combat strength is extraordinary. I admit defeat!"
Xiao Zhan looked at Yao Yue and took deep breaths. Then, he coldly said, "I admit defeat!"
Xiao Zhan had already realized that Yao Yue had not used his full strength. Yao Yue had only admitted defeat in order to save his face.
He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
'I didn't expect the son-in-law to have already reached this level!
Even the young master's talent back then was only at this level! 'Xiao Zhan sighed inwardly.
"Alright, we'll consider it a draw. Big Brother Xiao, please don't take it to heart!" Yao Yue shrugged.
"A loss is a loss. There's nothing shameful about it!" Xiao Zhan coldly replied.
Yao Yue knew Xiao Zhan's temperament, so he did not argue with him. Instead, he took out a square block of ki stones and placed it in front of Xiao Zhan. "Big Brother Xiao, this is a gift for you. I hope you can become a Xiantian Yuan Monarch soon and bring glory to our Long Clan!"
Yao Yue had interacted with Xiao Zhan the most since joining the Long Clan. He still remembered that he had borrowed a few hundred gold yuan from Xiao Zhan.
He liked Xiao Zhan's loyalty and treated him like his own big brother. Therefore, he also hoped that Xiao Zhan could take another step forward. This would only benefit the Long Clan.
Yao Yue could take out a square block of ki stones mainly because his grandfather did not accept the two square blocks. Therefore, he did not mind giving one to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan, who had always been calm, felt his eyelids twitch. He then said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this."
"Big Brother Xiao, there's no need to be so polite with me. I have always treated you as my big brother. Besides, I still owe you a few hundred gold yuan. Just treat it as returning it to you. If you refuse again, I won't recognize you as my big brother anymore!" Yao Yue said seriously.
Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with gratitude. He hesitated for a moment before nodding heavily. "Then I'll accept it."
"That's more like it!"
Yao Yue replied in satisfaction. He then added, "Grandfather is idle at home now. If you have time, help me keep him company. Also, remember to inform me if anything happens to Third Uncle."
Xiao Zhan nodded lightly, indicating that he agreed.
"Then I'll return first. I hope Big Brother Xiao can become a Xiantian Yuan Monarch soon!" Yao Yue encouraged him again.
After saying that, Yao Yue turned around and returned to his room.
Looking at Yao Yue's back, Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and thought to himself, Don't worry, son-in-law. I will definitely become a Xiantian Yuan Monarch!
After taking a bath, Yao Yue summoned Xiao Liuzi and asked, "Xiao Liuzi, how long until you become a Yao King?"
Now that the Long Clan was weak, Yao Yue hoped that his Third Uncle would recover as soon as possible. That way, he would be able to intimidate many people.
However, entering the depths of the Jueyao Ridge was very dangerous. Therefore, he needed to rely on Xiao Liuzi.
As long as Xiao Liuzi became a Yao King, the danger they faced would be much lower.
Xiao Liuzi replied, "I'm still a little short. It would be easier if I had two or three demon cores. One is not enough."
Only then did Yao Yue realize that Xiao Liuzi was a high-ranked demon. He could not be compared to ordinary demon beasts.
Ordinary pinnacle great demon beasts could easily advance if they could devour the demon cores of other Yao Kings. However, high-ranked demon beasts needed to absorb a lot of energy. It would not be easy for Xiao Liuzi to take this step.
"Demon cores are not easy to find." Yao Yue sighed.
If not for the rich Tang Yan, Xiao Liuzi would not have been able to obtain a single demon core.
Now that he had to obtain one or two demon cores, where was he supposed to find them?
"Right, grandpa must have one. I'll ask him later."
Yao Yue thought of Long Tianba. If he did not have one, he did not know who else would have one.
"Boss, when I become a Yao King, I want to get myself a weapon!" Xiao Liuzi suggested to Yao Yue.
"Hehe, do you know how to use weapons?" Yao Yue smiled. He did not expect Xiao Liuzi to make such a request.
"Boss, I know everything you know," Xiao Liuzi said confidently.
Yao Yue smiled and did not take it to heart. He sent Xiao Liuzi away and began meditating.
