Fatty looked terrified, and upon hearing Tang Rao's words, he immediately started looking around, afraid that others might hear them.

"Bro, this, this isn't good right? Let's just drop it. I think it's actually quite nice to leave quietly, what do you think? Maybe we shouldn't mess with the Soul Capture Pavilion, just in case... just in case we get surrounded by them, we'll be dead for sure." Fatty said.

"Are you even a man? Have you no spine? I'm embarrassed for you. A man should stand under the starry sky, feet on the earth, and not end up doing nothing after coming all this way. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Take your courage and leave your cowardice behind, and from now on, we need not meet again on this distant road." Tang Rao spoke while slapping the table.

Fatty looked at Tang Rao dumbfounded, although he was still scared, deep inside he felt a strange thrill.

"Bro, I... can you at least tell me what you're going to do?"

"No." Tang Rao shook his head.

Fatty's face was conflicted, he really admired Tang Rao, who spoke impressively and seemed to make sense.

Moreover, sitting with him gave him a mysteriously secure feeling.

"Bro, will we be alright?" Fatty continued to ask.

"Everything has its risks, I'll keep the danger at the lowest level possible." Tang Rao replied, not just blathering. Theoretically, even if you do something as simple as possible, you can still mess it up.

It's like doing 2+2=4, which seems explosively simple, but you always have a chance to get it wrong, to accidentally add it incorrectly.

"I... then, can I always follow you? I want to leave the Nine-Headed King Hall too, but I don't know where to go." Fatty said.

"If this works out, we are brothers." Tang Rao nodded.

"Got it, bro. Then from now on, I... I'll follow you." Fatty nodded seriously, saying earnestly.

...

"Great, two idiots teaming up." Suddenly, someone started mocking from the side.

At another table, three muscular men were indulging in plenty of food and drink.

"Fatty Gu, do you really think he's all that? Stupid kid, he's just fooling you, yet you're swearing brotherhood..."

"Tsks tsks tsks, Fatty Gu, congrats on finding a big brother, the two of you can be stupid together."

The three men laughed loudly.

Fatty's face turned red.

"I'm not Fatty Gu, I'm Gu Feizhu!" Fatty said quietly.

"Louder, what are you saying? I can't hear you!"

"Yeah, Fatty, you can speak up a bit. Today you got yourself a big brother, we won't beat you up!"

Gu Feizhu was visibly upset, yet he didn't say a word in return.

It was obvious he had been beaten before; these three often bullied Gu Feizhu.

"Fatty, go over there, hit them." Tang Rao told Gu Feizhu.

Gu Feizhu hesitated, then turned to look at Tang Rao.

"Big brother... their strength, it's pretty strong. Not, not very strong, but, but they're better than me." Gu Feizhu said.

"Damn it, you fat pig, you say we're not very strong?"

"Idiots, we won't beat you today, then we three don't know where to put our faces!"

The three men stood up.

"Sit down!" Tang Rao suddenly slammed his palm on the table, unleashing a powerful force that pushed back against the three men.

Bang bang bang!

The three men had just stood up but found themselves sitting back down, their faces pale, corners of their mouths bleeding.

"Fatty, go over, hit them." Tang Rao looked at Gu Feizhu.

The three muscular men had cold sweat on their foreheads, very aware that they had encountered a real mighty force this time. Damn their luck.

"Bro, I think..."

"Go over, hit them."

"I..."

"Can you stop being such a coward!" Tang Rao shouted.

"It's not like that, bro, I just want to ask if I can break one arm and one leg off each of them." Gu Feizhu said, his face reddening, "I can tolerate them beating me, but last time, they broke my aunt's arm and leg, I, I want to avenge my aunt."

Tang Rao's face suddenly broke into a smile.

"Of course, you can. Killing them is also fine." Tang Rao said.

"Let's forget about killing. After all, they didn't intend to kill me." Gu Feizhu had already drawn his longsword and approached the three men directly.

The three men were silent, they didn't beg for mercy, because they knew very well that begging would be futile.

They had bullied Gu Feizhu for a long time, and he had too much pent-up anger in his heart.

Gu Feizhu made six strikes in total, each sword cut was clean and sharp, three arms three legs, thump thump thump falling to the ground.

Yes, by 'break', Gu Feizhu meant to completely sever them, leaving no chance for recovery.

The three men immediately screamed in agony, each cry louder than the last.

However, inside the tavern, no one dared to utter a word. Why meddle in other people's conflicts when it doesn't concern oneself?

Relatively speaking, the Nine-Headed King Hall and the Seventy-two Domains are similar, both lawless places with cold-hearted people.

Very few would stand up for someone completely unrelated.

"Let's go." Tang Rao said to Gu Feizhu, who had already sheathed his sword, then stood up and left the tavern directly.

Gu Feizhu immediately followed.

...

"Brother, I still don't know your name." After a while, Gu Feizhu asked.

"My surname is Tang, my given name is Rao, 'rao' as in abundance." Tang Rao casually said.

"Tang Rao, brother... wait..." Gu Feizhu suddenly stopped in his tracks, frozen in place.

Tang Rao? Tang Rao!

The entire name...

"It's the Tang Rao you know of." Tang Rao turned back and said with a grin.

Gu Feizhu desperately swallowed his saliva, oh God, that... that's the legendary person!

The real super-expert.

"Your swordsmanship is not bad, where did you learn it?" Tang Rao continued walking while asking. Gu Feizhu had made six sword strikes in the tavern, each as stunning as a passing swan, very impressive.

"I... I... I figured it out by myself, brother, don't laugh at me." Gu Feizhu said softly.

Tang Rao: "..."

Figured out by himself, damn... Figuring out such stunning swordsmanship by himself, simply incredible.

It's not Tang Rao exaggerating, if Gu Feizhu's swordsmanship really was self-taught, then his proficiency in the Sword Dao is simply more than extraordinary.

Tang Rao had seen countless sword techniques and thousands of Sword Dao Spiritual Techniques.

But speaking purely of sword techniques, Gu Feizhu's swordsmanship could definitely rank in the top three.

If it were further refined and integrated with the laws of the Heavenly Dao, it would definitely be terrifying.

The only pity is that Gu Feizhu's Spiritual Energy Realm is too weak, just reaching the Golden Core Stage.

Such strength used to be quite good, but now, even among the people of Blue Star, it can no longer be considered outstanding.

"Interested in learning from me?" Tang Rao asked.

Gu Feizhu was startled for a moment, then stood still, "Brother, are you asking to take me as your apprentice?"

"No," Tang Rao shook his head, "Just follow me, I'll teach you some things."
