Chapter 386 - 160: Yin Department Divine Position, The Great Han Wang E, Wrestling and a Wager
"So I misjudged you."
The big man sized up Cui Yanliang and Jin Yunfeng, then snorted coldly:
"I can’t be bothered to care what you’re here for!"
"In any case, while I’m in mourning for my godfather, no one—human, ghost, or demon—is to cause trouble here!"
"Otherwise, you’ll be making an enemy of me!"
As he said this, Wang E’s gaze fixed on Cui Yanliang.
"After I leave, I don’t care if you want Incense or human blood and souls. Do as you please!"
"Even if you kill every last one of these people, I won’t give a damn!"
"You harbor hatred in your heart... for these villagers?"
Looking at Wang E’s ferocious gaze, Cui Yanliang spoke calmly:
"Then why don’t you do it yourself and slaughter them all?"
As the saying goes, good and evil come from the heart.
An evil appearance doesn’t make one truly evil, just as a kind appearance doesn’t make one truly good.
Sometimes, a person might look kind and benevolent, but their heart could be blacker than a ghost’s.
This Wang E’s tone was extremely crude, but that alone wasn’t enough to deem him a wicked man.
To judge good and evil, one must look at what a person has actually done.
Slaying the rampaging Black Dragon, taking over the Yin Temple, and protecting the nearby common folk...
These deeds were clearly not the actions of a wicked man.
In the five years of implementing the new law, Cui Yanliang had seen much of the darkness in human hearts. He had gained deep insight into people and naturally had his own way of judging them.
In his eyes, beneath this big man’s fierce exterior was a heart of burning sincerity.
"Enough of your nonsense!"
Sure enough, after hearing Cui Yanliang’s words, Wang E’s expression changed slightly.
Then, he looked down on them with a hardened attitude, his aura surging like a roaring lion.
"I don’t care who you are. Either get lost, or die here!"
BANG!
A powerful sound wave exploded in the air. Everyone felt a vicious gust of wind hit their faces, as if a terrifying Fierce Beast were roaring right in front of them.
As the shockwave howled, clouds of dust shot out with the sound of hidden weapons slicing through the air.
They pelted the surrounding walls and floor, creating a rattling sound.
At the same time, a searing heat wave rolled out from the center of his body, making it seem as if the very air was about to ignite!
ZING!!
Provoked by this aura, the Armored Warriors behind Cui Yanliang all drew their blades.
The killing intent they released instantly soared to the heavens!
These Armored Warriors already had high Cultivation. Having survived five years of war, they were battle-hardened veterans whose Cultivation had broken through, and each possessed astonishing strength.
Now, as they all drew their long sabers, their auras intertwined, creating a momentum so immense that even Wang E’s heart skipped a beat.
WHOOSH!
Cui Yanliang raised a hand and pressed down on the air, suppressing the sky-filling killing intent and the surging currents of air.
Then, he clapped his hands together and smiled:
"Such tyrannical Blood Qi is truly a rare sight!"
His tone was gentle, neither high nor low, yet it quelled the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere between the two sides.
Even Wang E, who had been determined to drive them out, couldn’t help but pause.
He looked over, his eyes filled with surprise.
"I’ve heard that in the Ancient Era, there was a type of person born with powerful Blood Qi and various Divine Techniques, capable of fighting peerless Great Demons in close combat..."
"Your Physique is inhumanly strong, and your Blood Qi is thousands, even tens of thousands of times more vigorous than an ordinary person’s. I imagine you must have a similar constitution."
Cui Yanliang took two steps forward, calmly sizing up Wang E.
The strength of this man’s Physique and Blood Qi ranked in the top ten among all the Human Race Cultivators he had ever seen.
That list even included the Feathered Strong People of the Buddhist Sect he had encountered.
A Physique like this could only be described as a gift from the heavens, one in a hundred million.
This was beyond just being gifted. It could only mean that his ancestors possessed an inhuman bloodline, and in his generation, it was showing signs of atavism.
’If he were to cultivate the latter parts of the Fist Scripture that Su Bai taught him, this man’s future accomplishments would be truly unimaginable.’
Cui Yanliang looked at the frowning Wang E.
Wang E took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice:
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
He was, of course, well aware of his own Physique.
He had dared to enter the water to fight that Black Dragon precisely because he had absolute confidence in his Physique.
"I merely want to compare strength with you..."
Cui Yanliang continued.
"I won’t take advantage of you. We’ll compete using only physical strength. If you win, I’ll leave immediately and even pass on to you a Cultivation Technique that is most suited for your cultivation."
"If you lose..."
’A contest of strength?’
Looking at the frail old Daoist before him, Wang E said impassively:
"And if I lose, what then?"
"If you lose, I will still give you the Cultivation Technique, but you must agree to one condition of mine."
Cui Yanliang curled a finger on his right hand and said slowly:
"In any case, you won’t be getting the short end of the stick."
"Fine! How do we compete?"
Wang E agreed immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
This, however, made Jin Yunfeng, who was standing to the side, ask in surprise and doubt:
"Big guy, aren’t you going to think it over?"
He could naturally tell that this big man had Innate Divine Power and an extraordinary bloodline.
In terms of Physique alone, none of the Great Demons they had encountered on their journey could compare.
’But Cui Yanliang’s Physique is even more tyrannical!’
"No need to think about it!"
Wang E took a step forward, his burly frame leaning slightly forward.
His imposing aura pressed down as he said:
"How do you want to compete?"
He knew very well that this group had not come with good intentions and would not leave easily.
That being the case, he might as well agree to the challenge.
If it were a contest of anything else, he might have hesitated.
But when it came to a contest of strength, he had never feared anyone!
