Du Zhang almost exploded with the breath he was holding in.
No matter how much drama there was in previous years, this great man never appeared to seek justice for the Luo family. Even Luo Laogou himself should know that he would not be invited unless the family's survival was in danger. But now, why did such a small matter require the intervention of this great god?
Besides, who among those present could know more than him? This person's surname wasn't even Luo! He had no connection to the Luo family at all, so how could he so calmly say, "You can't write two Luo characters with one stroke"?
————————
After the Du family, forced to cede territory and pay compensation by taking advantage of Luo Cang's influence and humiliating the country, left in frustration and anger, the Luo clan leader sent the elders away and returned to the hall to bow to Luo Cang: "Thank you so much for your help today, sir."
"It doesn't matter." Luo Cang waved his hand casually, "Your son is a good one, smart and lovable."
Seeing a hint of uncontrollable pride on the face of Luo Clan leader, Luo Cang unconsciously revealed a faint smile: "However, Jiujiang still needs some further polishing, so I will leave him in Beixue Garden for the next few days."
Chief Luo's eyes lit up, and the hand stroking his long beard couldn't help but tighten its grip a bit. "This is my son's honor. If there's anything I haven't done well, I hope you'll be willing to give me some pointers. You can give me a beating or a scolding."
"Yeah." Luo Cang had no intention of playing along with these favors, and just casually replied, "Goodbye."
In his opinion, Patriarch Luo didn't need to worry about this - he had trained Luo Jiujiang by throwing and beating, but he had never shown mercy or courtesy to him.
Luo Jiujiang, who had always been beaten by Luo Cang, was now in a dilemma in the cave.
He didn't have much experience dealing with snakes, so he was probably more familiar with sea snakes. However, sea snakes were docile and generally wouldn't attack—except when he'd tied a bunch of them into a large knot. But for some reason, the snakes in this cave were swarming towards him like crazy!
Snakes are animals that attack very quickly. They can launch more than ten attacks in one breath. When Luo Jiujiang first went down into the cave, he didn't understand the situation clearly, and in the blink of an eye, four or five snakes were hanging on his body.
At first, he considered whether he should remain still and treat his wound, fearing the venom of the snake's fangs might be present. But he quickly gave up the question: even though he couldn't see or hear, he could tell from the cool, sticky serpents that kept slamming against his skin that he was in a constant state of confusion. He had somehow become the target of every snake in the area—and quite possibly the entire cave!
Standing still is useless, as snakes hunt primarily by scent and heat.
Standing still could indeed delay the onset of the snake venom, which might or might not exist, but judging from his current situation, it was more likely that he would be bitten to death by these snakes before the venom took effect!
Even though he was in such a dangerous situation, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but laugh at this absurd yet true black humor: I have only heard of people being killed by snake venom and strangulation, but who has ever heard of dying by a snake bite?
Besides, there are more than just snakes in this cave...
Luo Jiujiang stabbed straight down with his knife, nailing a scorpion that was crawling on his feet to the ground. He then wrapped his sleeve around his hand and quickly brushed away something that was falling from above, bringing up a little airflow.
Judging from the vague feeling I just had when I touched it through my sleeve, it was probably a big spider with bared fangs and claws and legs covered with bristles.
Just as he was cutting the two long snakes, Luo Jiujiang lost his balance and stepped on something without a shell or armor - probably a toad.
There were countless snakes that pounced on Luo Jiujiang one after another. Luo Jiujiang was swiftly and hurriedly using his knife to deal with them, while cursing madly in his heart.
How did his master train these snakes?
Luo Jiujiang was now blind and deaf, and his sword swinging accuracy had declined, not to mention that he could only rely on the airflow caused by the snake's leaping to locate the enemy's position. If he wasn't quick enough to react, he would be bitten. His hands and feet were in a panic and he was almost stretched to the limit.
But what's the point of talking about records now? What's the point of talking about killing sounds? This old bastard's words are too sinister.
The two responded to Luo Cang's words instantly. Luo Jiujiang was about to leap up, but Han Qianling reacted and pressed Luo Jiujiang's shoulders, forcing him back to his seat.
Luo Cang took in all the actions of the two men. His face remained calm, his expression as if dead, and he said coldly, "Get out."
Those two words carried a weight of a thousand pounds. As soon as they fell, Han Qianling's body visibly staggered, as if being pulled sideways by an invisible force. Luo Jiujiang quickly reached out to grab Han Qianling, but was pinned to the chair by an extremely powerful and irresistible force, instantly unable to move.
The school was eerily quiet for a moment, with only a few teeth-grinding cracking sounds being heard. It turned out that the table top under Luo Jiujiang's palm had been crushed into tiny cracks by him.
Luo Jiujiang's muscles tensed, his eyes glaring, yet he couldn't move a single finger. Han Qianling gritted his teeth, resisting the overwhelming force with all his might so he could hold Luo Jiujiang's wrist and offer one final warning: "Calm down and listen carefully."
After saying this, Han Qianling turned his head and looked directly at Luo Cang, and said calmly: "Don't bother me, sir. I can walk out by myself."
Luo Cang glanced at Han Qianling indifferently: "It's a pity that a disabled person like me doesn't like others standing higher than me."
