Chapter 414 Battle with the Stone Monk
On this day, Shijiazhuang was bustling with activity. The Stone Monk, a renowned master on the mainland, had returned with even greater strength. As a result, gangs of all sizes from the surrounding area rushed to Shijiazhuang to curry favor with the Shi family.
Among the guests who came, only one person was treated as a VIP, and that was Tang Palace of Tangjiabao.
Because of the relationship between Tangjiabao and the royal family, even though the Shi family's strength has increased, they still dare not underestimate the Tang family.
The stone monk sat high above, resting with his eyes closed, completely ignoring the fawning glances directed at him from below.
Everything was being managed by Old Man Shi, who acted like a bully relying on his master's power, with a smug look on his face.
Tang Gong was placed in the most important position below the main seat, which shows his status.
Among the many guests, Grand Tutor Pang also mingled in.
He had heard the news of the Stone Monk's return, and had not heard from Leng Yun for several days. Worried that something might have happened, he came to investigate.
About two hours later, the Shi family hall gradually quieted down, and everyone who was supposed to come arrived and took their seats.
At this moment, the stone monk opened his eyes and looked around.
"Didn't the people from the Separation Gate come?" The Stone Monk asked, somewhat annoyed.
Old Man Shi also said indignantly, "No, the Separation Gate has never taken Shijiazhuang seriously!"
The stone monk snorted coldly: "Hmph, good, they'll regret this soon!"
Just then, three burly men walked in from outside.
"Hmph, the Shi family is certainly having a lively time today," a burly man remarked.
The hall immediately fell silent; it was clear to everyone that these three people were there to cause trouble.
"Hmph! Stone Monk, we meet again!" said the burly man at the head of the group.
The stone monk remained calm and said indifferently, "So it's the Bear King of Bear City. What, are you here to celebrate for me today too?"
It turns out that Xiongcheng and Shijiazhuang have always been at odds, sworn enemies who have fought each other for decades without a clear victor.
After the Stone Monk disappeared, Xiongcheng completely gained the upper hand and thoroughly oppressed Shijiazhuang.
Now that the Stone Monk has suddenly reappeared, the Bear King has brought his men to gather information.
"Hmph, Stone Monk, we fought hundreds of rounds back then, neither of us gaining the upper hand. I wonder if your cultivation has declined since then?" the Bear King mocked.
The stone monk's face remained expressionless, and the surroundings were eerily silent as everyone awaited the stone family's response.
Suddenly, the sound of a gust of wind cut through the air.
A brown light flashed, and in the next second it was in front of the Bear King.
Within the brown light, a small talisman floated slowly.
Before the Bear King could react, the Stone Monk had already teleported in front of him in the next second.
"bump!"
The stone monk kicked the latter hard, and the bear king immediately coughed up blood and died on the spot.
Poor Bear King, he probably never realized until his death that the Stone Monk had already mastered the talisman teleportation technique, and he was killed before he could even summon his fist energy.
Immediately afterwards, the Stone Monk transformed into two beams of brown light, killing both of the Bear King's servants behind him.
Everyone was incredibly surprised. The Stone Monk had killed his former nemesis with a single move. His skill was truly formidable.
Meanwhile, Grand Tutor Pang, who was hiding in the crowd, frowned. He felt that he was no match for the stone monk.
Suddenly, the Stone Monk glanced sideways at Grand Tutor Pang and said coldly, "The renowned Ice Emperor is indeed extraordinary; his aura cannot be concealed!"
Grand Tutor Pang was startled, not expecting that the other party had already discovered him.
Now that things had come to this, he had no other choice but to calm down and walk in front of everyone with a smile.
"Seeing is believing. I never imagined that the Stone Monk's skills would be so formidable. It seems that the time for the Shi family to dominate the region is just around the corner!" Grand Tutor Pang laughed.
"Haha, I didn't know that the Ice Emperor came to my Shijiazhuang to celebrate with me?" The Stone Monk's tone was forceful, because he had long heard that the Ice Emperor was not as powerful as before.
If it were the Ice Emperor of the past, the Stone Monk would never have dared to be so presumptuous. However, this is a world where strength is paramount, and without strength, no one will respect you.
Grand Tutor Pang didn't mind, and simply smiled and said, "I have something I'd like to ask you. Where are all the experts who went to the back mountain with the Shi family back then?"
Grand Tutor Pang's question caused everyone to gasp, and the atmosphere immediately became somewhat awkward.
Actually, everyone knows what happened, but no one dares to say it.
The stone monk's face was somewhat grim. After a moment, he said, "I don't know. Perhaps those experts were all killed by the fire dragon."
Before the words were finished, a voice suddenly came from the horizon: "Stone Monk, you're lying! Why don't you tell everyone that you killed everyone?"
The sound grew louder as it approached, carrying a powerful inner force.
Before they even saw the person, everyone gasped in shock. How dare they expose the Stone Monk's shortcomings like this? It seemed they were here to cause trouble again.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of azure light descended from the sky, and after the light faded, a figure appeared, shirtless with a bright red flame emblem on his chest—it was Leng Yun!
"It's you!" Old Man Shi exclaimed in surprise, knowing the hidden meaning behind it all.
Tang Gong also recognized Leng Yun. He had thought that Leng Yun had fallen into the abyss and died in the back mountain, but he did not expect that the other party would appear here.
The Stone Monk had only seen Li Bai with the 'mask' on his face, and had never seen Leng Yun before, but he recognized the flame emblem on Leng Yun's chest.
"You—you actually obtained the Flame Stone!" The stone monk's eyes gleamed with greed. "Who exactly are you?"
"You don't recognize me so quickly? I'm the one you kicked down." Leng Yun said calmly.
The stone monk, somewhat bewildered, said coldly, "Hmph! No matter who you are, you're dead today. The Fire Emblem is mine!"
Before he finished speaking, a brown light shot towards Leng Yun.
"Be careful!" Grand Tutor Pang was already on guard. Almost simultaneously, he unleashed a silver fist-like attack, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature considerably.
However, Grand Tutor Pang's power was insufficient to resist the Stone Monk, so the Stone Monk's talisman still broke through the silver fist energy and flew towards Leng Yun's vicinity.
If so, the speed of the spell is slowed down by a second, and that one second is enough.
In the blink of an eye, the Stone Monk had teleported again, appearing at the location of the talisman.
However, Leng Yun had already transformed into a black shadow and dodged seven meters away.
The Stone Monk missed his target and sneered, "Heh heh, the Ice Emperor is indeed formidable."
Before he finished speaking, the Stone Monk sent out another talisman, which once again shot towards Leng Yun!
