Chapter 139 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (8)

The man could be described as having a full beard, dark skin, and dressed in coarse clothes. His muscular arms were exposed, showing he was genuinely strong. He carried a wolf’s tooth spear on his shoulder, with an iron handle about two meters long and as thick as a fist. At the handle’s end was a long cylindrical hammer, densely covered with iron nails or teeth in six to eight rows. The handle’s tail was fitted with a triangular iron drill, similar in shape to a wolf’s tooth. A strike from this weapon would, at the very least, peel off a layer of skin.

The man sneered, spat out the dogtail grass he was chewing, and spoke in a deep voice, “Bai Tang, if you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck. Grandpa¹ is known as the unrivaled in the martial world, and I’ll make you die with understanding. Remember, little girl, you’ll die in Grandpa’s hands.”

Bai Tang, “…”

Taking advantage of her? Let’s see if she would break his teeth.

Bai Tang gripped the blades’ handles with both hands, pulling out her dual blades. The blades were passable, and she hoped they wouldn’t develop any gaps after this battle.

“Ba Tongtian, do you spare not even an orphan girl?” A questioning voice, and a sword flew from behind Bai Tang, firmly embedding itself in the soil next to her. A young hero in blue clothing followed, landing gracefully with one foot on the sword hilt, his posture showing no signs of shaking. Clearly, he was a martial artist with profound internal energy.

Seeing someone come to her aid, Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. She reminded, “Young Lady Bai, be careful of the wolf’s tooth spear in Ba Tongtian’s hands. It weighs a full two hundred kilograms, and if you get hit, your bones could easily shatter. Ba Tongtian is ruthless and only cares about money. If anything goes wrong, he might even exterminate a whole family. But he’s also shrewd—he won’t provoke someone he can’t handle. He’s unpredictable and cunning.”

Bai Tang smiled and said, “Thank you, Young Lady Yaoyao, for your reminder.”

Ba Tongtian raised his eyebrows, pointing directly at the young hero, “You little brat with not even a full beard, still thinking of playing the hero? What ability do you have? Hurry home and wean yourself off breast milk.”

Ba Tongtian mocked unabashedly.

The young hero in blue wasn’t angered, he comforted Bai Tang, “Young Lady Bai, don’t be afraid. I, Weng Quan, will protect you.”

Then he raised his voice, a clear and pleasant sound, “Ba Tongtian, Weng Quan is here today. I will not allow you to harm Young Lady Bai in the slightest.”

Bai Tang thought to herself, she could actually handle him…

Weng Quan spoke to Bai Tang again, “I noticed that Young Lady Bai’s face is very pale. Young Lady Bai, you don’t need to resort to force—leave it to Weng Quan.”

Bai Tang: She’s just excessively pale…

Ba Tongtian hesitated for a moment.

Weng Quan, a recently emerged figure in the martial world known for allegedly killing one person every ten steps, with exceptional Lightness Skill. After only a brief hesitation, Ba Tongtian then swung his wolf’s tooth spear towards Bai Tang.

Weng Quan immediately unsheathed his sword to meet the attack, while Bai Tang wielded her dual blades.

The wolf’s tooth spear was too heavy, and Ba Tongtian possessed immense strength. In terms of internal energy, he ranked high among the martial world’s figures. Consequently, when this strike came down, both Weng Quan and Bai Tang chose to evade. When evasion was not possible, Weng Quan used his sword to absorb the impact, even though his considerable internal energy was still numbed by the force.

Bai Tang exerted force with her wrist, making the two blades spin in a circle. The intense clash between the blades and the wolf’s tooth spear produced a burst of sparks. Bai Tang’s waist bent at an incredible angle, instantly flipping her body. She struck the ground with one palm, propelling her entire body upward. With her hands wide open, she perfectly caught the two blades. Weng Quan was secretly astonished—how could Bai Tang be so formidable?

Whether in attack or evasion, her actions were decisive and straightforward. Each swing and thrust of her blades were cunning and lethal, delivering potentially fatal blows. It was nothing like the mediocre image people had spread about her. Weng Quan could affirm that the current Bai Tang was a top-notch master.

Weng Quan himself was no slouch, agile in his movements, managing not to let Ba Tongtian harm him in the slightest. Instead, he delivered a few blows to Ba Tongtian.
