Chapter Twenty-Three: Struggle for the Patriarch's Succession

When night fell, the entire Qiyang City was shrouded in boundless night. At this time, in a luxurious room in the front yard of the Zhao family, three middle-aged men sat separately.

"Big brother, this Tang family doesn't know how to lift, and even rebelled against our Zhao family for the sake of a girl from the Tang family, tomorrow we will dispatch people to destroy the Tang family!" Zhao Xuan, who suffered a big loss in the Tang family during the day, said viciously.

"Big brother, what the third brother said is very true. Tang Qian, an old man, didn't know how to lift, he dared to make a move on the third brother, if he didn't make a move this time to destroy the Tang family, what would be the coercion of our Zhao family!" Another middle-aged man was also angry, and a thick aura surrounded his body, he turned out to be a strong man in the early stage of the Nine Stars! He was Zhao Kun, the second head of the Zhao family.

In the center of the room sat a middle-aged man with a majestic sword eyebrow and starry eyes. The middle-aged man took a sip of fragrant tea and said unhurriedly: "Second brother, your cultivation in the early stage of the Nine Stars, coupled with the strength of my Nine Star Intermediate Rank, it is naturally not difficult to destroy the Tang family." ”

"But kill 3,000 enemies and lose 300 yourself. The old man has already gone to congratulate the uncle who is far away in the border barracks, and we will attack the Tang family alone, and we will not be able to lose the lives of the children of the family!"

Tang Qian, the old patriarch of the Tang family, is an eight-star level, a powerhouse with a wireless approach to nine-star cultivation, and the other elders are also seven-star and eight-star strength, if they really make a move, there is no doubt that the Tang family will be destroyed, but it is difficult for the Zhao family to do it without losing their troops. The Zhao family has become a big family in Qiyang City, and it is not cost-effective to fight with a doomsday family unless it is absolutely necessary.

Zhao Xuan calmed down his anger and said in a deep voice, "What does the big brother mean?"

"Well, I have just received a letter from Tang Xiong, the patriarch of the Tang family, saying that he is controlling the Tang family step by step. Let's give Tang Xiong a little time, as long as Tang Xiong, the puppet, really controls the Tang family, then we will take it step by step, and it will be easy to slowly eat away the Tang family's family business!" Zhao Yunfeng, the patriarch of the Zhao family, said coldly.

"Big brother's plan is very clever, if Tang Gan, a puppet, controls the Tang family, then we will use him to eat away the Tang family's family business, so that we can occupy all the Tang family's family business without wasting a single soldier!" Zhao Kun looked at Zhao Yunfeng and said in appreciation.

Zhao Yunfeng tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "The fish and meat on the board of the Tang family is not a major event at the moment, and the opening of the once a decade forbidden land is something we need to take seriously!"

"Forbidden place, it seems that it will be opened in three days!" Zhao Kun then remembered that the forbidden place with many dangers but many treasures had come to open.

"That forbidden place is mysterious, and I don't know what secret methods there are, but it actually restricts the entry of people who cultivate above the eighth star, and the last time I opened it, I only got a little bit of pills and weapons when I went in under my leadership. The heavy treasures were all snatched by those unknown sect disciples!"

"However, it is precisely this little bit of elixir that has given our Zhao family three more nine-star level masters! Big brother, you have made a great contribution!" Zhao Xuan also thought that ten years ago, under the leadership of Zhao Yunfeng, the young generation below the eight stars of the Zhao family entered the forbidden land, went through many dangers, and brought dozens of rare second-grade and third-grade pills to the Zhao family. Among them, there is even a four-grade pill, and the old patriarch took it, and he directly broke through from the strength of the eight stars to the peak of the nine stars!

Zhao Yunfeng also recalled the various scenes in the forbidden land ten years ago, and couldn't help but flash a smug smile on his face.

"It's just that there seem to be many entrances to the forbidden place. At that time, he even encountered many unknown sect disciples! There were several conflicts, and he was almost killed!" Suddenly, thinking of something terrifying, Zhao Yunfeng's face couldn't help but show a little fear.

"Kill!" Zhao Xuan looked at Zhao Yunfeng in disbelief. He knew Zhao Yunfeng's amazing talent, and he was at the strength of the Seven Star Peak at that time. And that forbidden place is only allowed to enter masters with strength below eight stars, and there is even a danger of being killed!

"The talent of those sect disciples is indeed terrifying, so this time I have made Tianhao fully prepared to ensure that he will be surprised!" Zhao Yunfeng smiled mysteriously, full of anticipation for the opening of this forbidden place.

In a room in the front yard of the Tang family's mansion, Tang Xiong looked at Tang Qi and instructed: "Qi'er, tomorrow you will take that Qi Gathering Pill before you go on the field, remember that this Qi Gathering Pill can only maintain your strength for an hour and six stars, you must fight quickly!"

"That's enough, as long as that kid dares to come up, I will definitely abolish him on the spot!" Tang Qi said.

On the new day, the sun is shining. The summer wind was blowing, and the branches and leaves of the locust tree next to the martial arts training ground were blown into a "salsa" sound. Seeing the cyan boulder under the locust tree again, Tang Feng couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart. For five years, he sat on the bluestone every morning and tried to condense the battle qi, and almost every time he was ridiculed by the children of the family. Now I have the qualifications to board the martial arts training ground!

In the center of the Tang family's martial arts training ground, there is a high platform of more than ten zhang, which is precisely for the children of the family to compete. At this time, Tang Tieshi, the head of the martial arts sect, stood in the center of the martial arts training ground, as the referee to judge the outcome of this competition. On the stand next to the martial arts training ground, the old patriarch Tang Qian and the elders sat on it in turn.

"It's time to go!"

With Tang Gan's announcement, the children of the Tang family were divided into three groups for competition.

At this time, Tang Can was also allowed to compete and came to the ring excitedly.

"Tang Can, when did you recover your cultivation talent!"

One of the children of the family couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that his opponent was Tang Can, who had been often ridiculed as a waste by himself.

Tang Can was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Thanks to the third brother, it's just that my Tang Can's qualifications are mediocre, and it has only been so long that I have only broken through to the strength of the second star." Tang Can had the aura of a two-star level, ready to make a move on Tang Hu.

"You broke through to the strength of the second star so quickly!Hmph, Tang Can, you are now qualified to fight with me Tang Chao, come on!"

The two quickly fought into a ball............

About three hours later, the competition ended. In the end, the three groups of victories were Tang Feng, Tang Qi and Tang Mingyuan, the son of the second elder.

"It seems that the second brother has also spent a lot of money on Mingyuan, and he has actually broken through to the strength of the five-star!" Tang Xiong looked at the second elder Tang Dongsheng and said with a smile.

"Hey, where. It's Mingyuan's luck. Second Elder Tang Dongsheng smiled and said modestly, but he thought in his heart: "Mingyuan has been forgiving for so many years, and today he can finally shine!"

Tang Qi jumped directly, and Tang Mingyuan followed. The two stood in the center of the ring, Tang Mingyuan hugged his fists and said, "Brother Tang Qi, Mingyuan is offended." ”

"Come on, Mingyuan, let the eldest brother guide you!" Tang Qi didn't look at him, and said in high spirits.

Tang Mingyuan's face froze, and he was a little more angry at Tang Qi's arrogance. "This Tang Qi himself is a five-star cultivator, and he despises himself so much, so he is also a master of five-star cultivation!"

Thinking of this, Tang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart. "I want to see how powerful you are!" Tang Mingyuan trembled, condensed all his energy into his palm, and slapped Tang Qi's head hard!

Seeing Tang Mingyuan rushing over, Tang Qi sneered and said contemptuously: "It is indeed a five-star strength, but it's a pity that the body is unstable and the moves are exaggerated, and it is difficult to become a great weapon!"

As he spoke, Tang Qi's whole body shook, and his feet stomped to the side and flashed to the side. Tang Mingyuan slapped his palm down, and immediately pounced.

"Let you know, what is the real five-star strength!" Tang Qi was full of spirits, and after dodging Tang Mingyuan's brazen palm, he condensed his palm and slapped it hard at Tang Mingyuan's chest.

"Poof!"

Tang Mingyuan suddenly felt that his chest was like a giant hammer slamming on it, and his throat immediately became sweet, and his body flew towards the bottom of the stone platform!

"Bang!"

Tang Mingyuan's body slammed on the floor, and he rolled down on the ground for some distance before stopping.

"Mingyuan!" The second elder leaned down and helped Tang Mingyuan up, seeing the blood stains on the corner of Tang Mingyuan's mouth, a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"This Tang Qi is too heavy!"

"Hehe, I'm sorry Second Uncle, Tang Qi didn't grasp the strength just now, and it was a little heavier when he started. Tang Qi smiled at Tang Dongsheng and arched his hand.

"A little, a little bit can be beaten to vomit blood on the spot!" Tang Dongsheng didn't look at Tang Qi, and hugged Tang Mingyuan to heal with a gloomy face.

When the elders saw Tang Qi's palm, they hit Tang Mingyuan, who was also a five-star strength, and vomited blood on the spot, and their hearts were also shocked by Tang Qi's amazing talent.

"How's that, Don. It is said that your cultivation has also reached four-star strength, or you should come up and have fun. Tang Qi hooked his hand at Tang Feng.

"Tang Feng, you are only a four-star strength now, I'm afraid you won't be Tang Qi's opponent, I think ......" Great Elder Tang Longfei looked at Tang Feng and reminded.

Hearing the words of the Great Elder Tang Longfei, Tang Feng just smiled faintly and said, "It's just a matter of learning, since you're here, you naturally want to learn from Big Brother Tang Qi's peerless talent." ”

Before the voice fell, Tang Feng also jumped up and stood on the stone platform.

"Old patriarch, look?"

The elders cast worried eyes on Tang Gan, Tang Qian had always doted on Tang Feng, how could he let Tang Feng venture up now.

"It is inevitable that the younger generation will be competitive. We'll just watch in silence. The old patriarch Tang Qian was not as worried as Tang Longfei, and looked at the stone platform with a pleasant expression.

Hearing Tang Gan say this, the elders didn't say anything anymore and shifted their gaze to the stone platform.

"I hope Tang Feng can take this opportunity to sharpen himself. The elders just felt that the only role of Tang Feng was to hone and learn, and there was no hope in their hearts.

Seeing that Tang Feng really came up, Tang Qi laughed and said, "Tang Feng, you are really enough." Since you came up today, then I, as a big brother, naturally can't let you go down empty-handed!"

"Oh, then thank you for your advice!" Tang Feng also replied with a smile, not the slightest fear of Tang Qi in his heart.

A five-star level cultivator like Tang Qi was almost the same as the strength of the five-star master of the Black Eagle Sect that he had killed at the beginning, and Tang Feng could almost slap him to death with one palm. Of course, for Tang Qi, he didn't have the intention of killing, after all, he was from the same clan.

"You're looking for death!"

Tang Feng's dead dog-like eyes fell into Tang Qi's eyes, and Tang Qi couldn't help but be angry. In his opinion, Tang Feng is a soft persimmon that he can handle at will, and he dares to look at himself with such eyes!

Tang Qi didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he directly used his strength, bent his legs, and catapulted towards Tang Feng with the help of the rebound. With an angry palm, he slapped Tang Feng's chest mercilessly.

"This?"

Seeing that Tang Qi struck with all his strength, the elders couldn't help but shake their heads in disappointment. I thought that Tang Qi would let Tang Feng and teach Tang Feng, but he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless as soon as he made a move.

The fist wrapped in strength was smashing like a meteor, and a strong wind blew Tang Feng's white shirt hunting. A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Tang Feng raised his fist and struck at the oncoming palm without any fancy!

"Bang!"

Fists and palms struck, Tang Qi suddenly felt a huge pain in his chest, and the battle qi in his body suddenly became disordered. The internal organs were subjected to the raging impact of the battle qi, and a stream of snow foam poured up the throat.

"Rub it!" The powerful force forced Tang Qi to retreat again and again, and only stopped a few feet away.

"What!"

The scene where Tang Feng directly knocked Tang Qi, who had cultivated five stars, into the ring with a light palm on the spot made the elders in the stands stunned, and the tea in his hand was also shaken out and splashed because of the shock!

"This Tang Feng is indeed a four-star cultivator!"

The elders' faces were full of surprise, and they once again felt Tang Feng's cultivation in disbelief. Tang Feng did not hide it at this time, exposing his strength and letting the elders explore at will. After all the elders found out Tang Feng's cultivation, their faces showed surprise!

Tang Qi, who was a five-star cultivator, couldn't withstand a four-star level Tang Feng's casual palm! What does this mean? It shows that Tang Feng's potential is limitless!

However, before the elders could come back from the shock, they saw a scene that made the elders' jaws drop.

"Woo Yu!"

I saw that Tang Qi finally seemed to be unable to hold on, and the snow foam that he had endured in his throat flowed out of the corners of his mouth. In the eyes of the elders, it was a shocking picture!

That Tang Qi's five-star strength, with one palm, Tang Mingyuan, who was also a five-star strength, couldn't resist it, and was beaten to vomit blood on the spot. But he didn't expect Tang Feng to be able to resist Tang Qi's full force, and by the way, he forced him to retreat again and again, and also caused him to suffer internal injuries and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth!

"My God, a four-star cultivator, actually beat a five-star master to vomit blood with one palm. This is absolutely unprecedented!"

At this time, Tang Xiong's face was already extremely difficult to see, and the discussion of the elders seemed to say that his son was a useless waste. Fortunately, there was a Tang Yuanfei in front of him who did the foreshadowing, otherwise others would still think that Tang Qi relied on some secret method to be promoted to five-star cultivation!

At this time, only Tang Gan and Tang He's faces were still calm, and it was no secret that Tang Feng was able to defeat a five-star master with his four-star cultivation.

But the most surprised person in the audience was Tang Qi himself. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Tang Feng in front of him in disbelief. He knew very well that his strength was invincible in the same level, but he didn't expect to be slapped by Tang Feng, who was one level lower than him, and vomited blood!

A coldness surged into Tang Qi's heart, and he now finally knew Tang Feng's horror. It's not about cultivation, it's about talent. The existence of being able to challenge beyond the level is very rare even among the royal family and powerful sects!

"Damn, I was careless!" Tang Qi wiped the snow foam from the corner of his mouth, took out a Qi Gathering Pill and threw it into his mouth.

"One move, one move will definitely abolish this beast, otherwise there will be endless troubles on the side!" Tang Qi's face flashed with a strong killing intent, and at this time he had only one thought in his mind, that is, to abolish Tang Feng at all costs! Suddenly, Tang Qi's whole body momentum soared and climbed steadily, and in an instant, he actually raised his strength directly from the five-star level to the six-star level!

"Die!"

Tang Qi slammed his palm at Tang Feng again, and the palm of his hand trembled, turning into a vigorous eagle. This is the manifestation of fist strength, coupled with the Tang family's unique martial art "Bloody Eagle", this blow seems to have concentrated all Tang Qi's strength, and it is bound to abolish Tang Feng in one fell swoop, and even kill it!

"Stop!" Tang Qian and all the elders were shocked!
