Chapter 168: A Man with a Broken Heart is Not to Be Trifled With

……

“Che, if I really offered myself to comfort him, why would I need to hide it?” Shentu Xue curled her lips and said, “Taishi Jian, stop judging a gentleman’s heart with your own petty mind here. Little Lei, confess honestly, who was the woman who spent the night in your tent last night? Don’t you hide it, we all have very sharp noses.”

Looking at the crowd’s eager gossiping faces, [Thief Face] leaned in with a grin. Lei Qing was also quite depressed. Damn it, how could he have forgotten to open the tent to air it out and dissipate the faint fragrance of Leng Yuewu? He couldn’t smell it himself because he had lived in the orchid room for too long and knew not its fragrance, so he had overlooked this.

“It was Leng Yuewu.” Lei Qing was very straightforward and said it directly.

“Who?” Yuchi Kou stared with his round eyes, as if he hadn’t heard clearly, “Cold what?”

“So it was Cold Moon~” Taishi Jian had just nodded and started to speak, but his eyeballs nearly popped out, “Wh-what… L-Leng Yuewu? Th-the Ice Sword Saint!”

The others also widened their eyes and stared fixedly at Lei Qing.

Lei Qing directly admitted it was Leng Yuewu, not expecting them to believe him. Sure enough, Xiahou Huan’s face gradually became grave and worried, “Little Xue, I have something to discuss with you. How about picking two prettier ones from your female soldier Personal Guards to keep Lei Qing company these few days?”

“Boss, don’t even think about it. They joined the Iron Cavalry Regiment, not to do this kind of thing.” Shentu Xue glared fiercely with her almond-shaped eyes, “Whoever dares to touch my female squad, I’ll be furious with him.”

“Little Xue, but Little Lei’s condition is very worrying.” Taishi Jian looked at Lei Qing with sympathetic eyes and sighed, “The parting of ways with Miss Yu seems to have stimulated Little Lei too much; he’s started daydreaming.”

“Haha~ Little Lei, you are too funny.” Dual-Hammer Yuchi Kou laughed loudly, “Even if you’re lying, make up something believable, okay? Leng Yuewu, uh, Princess Mooncold, you’re really good at joking. Why didn’t you say a fairy descended from the heavens last night to comfort you?”

“This…” Shentu Xue, influenced by their echoing remarks, also felt some sympathy and worry for Lei Qing, so she deliberately acted delicate and charming, “Little Lei, how about I go all out tonight and let you have a good time.”

Thinking of her lustful look, Lei Qing couldn’t help but curse inwardly; who knows who would have a good time this night? To stop these people from saying anything more exaggerated, Lei Qing hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Alright everyone, rest assured, I am strong. How could a small matter like this knock me down? I was just joking with you earlier.”

“Really no problem?”

“Truly no problem.”

“How about we go out and spar to let off some steam?”

At this suggestion, Lei Qing became somewhat interested. His cultivation was at a bottleneck, and sparring with a strong fighter of the same rank was very beneficial. It could hone his Fighting Techniques and martial arts, and also stimulate his life potential. Maybe he would break through during the fight.

In recent days, he was on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment. Moreover, after last night, he had taught Leng Yuewu a good lesson, improving her weird temper greatly, and his mind was very clear. Plus, having just absorbed some energy from the Gold core, he was full of energy with nowhere to vent.

A group of people came to the temporary drill ground within the camp. They didn’t fight on horseback but fought on foot. Lei Qing challenged them one by one. Taishi Jian, Yan Fei, and several others fought with Lei Qing until it was dark and gloomy.

After a fierce battle, several familiar generals refused to fight Lei Qing anymore, cursing him as a beast and complaining everywhere that a man with a broken heart cannot be provoked.

Lei Qing cursed inwardly; they couldn’t beat me anyway, alright? And they’re making excuses? Shentu Xue was eager to try, but her injuries had not healed, so she wasn’t allowed to join.

“Hehe, Little Lei, it seems only I can satisfy you.” Yuchi Kou stepped down with his two copper hammers. He casually swung the copper hammers, producing a violent sound of air exploding.

A High-rank Silver strong fighter was indeed not to be underestimated.

Lei Qing, after several cathartic fierce battles, was in his peak physical state. His blood was boiling, and he seemed to have endless strength. He also wanted to see how big the gap was between himself and a High-rank Silver strong fighter.

Holding the Treasure Sword Lian Zhan in his hand, he beckoned to Yuchi Kou and said, “Old Yuchi, come on. Don’t hold back, or I’ll blame you if I’m not satisfied.”

“A man with a broken heart is indeed a masochist.” Yuchi Kou smirked with mock sympathy, “Rest assured, when I spar with others, I never know what holding back means. But there is still a gap between us. How about this, thirty moves. If you can last thirty moves against me, we’ll go back to Wanxiang Tower together, and the top courtesan Shishi will serve you for three nights. If you can’t last… hehe, I don’t want that delicate Shishi; you just need to arrange ten random girls for me.”

“Ten?” Shentu Xue curled her lips and shouted, “Old Yuchi, can your old bones handle that? With those vixens at Wanxiang Tower, I doubt you can handle even one. Don’t think I haven’t heard of your scandals in Tieling City; the nickname ‘Half-Stick of Incense’ isn’t for nothing.”

“Shentu Xue, are you trying to undermine me on purpose?” Yuchi Kou cursed in embarrassment and anger, “I’ll take one, and the other nine can just stand there and watch, okay?”

“Okay, okay. If I can’t last your thirty moves,” Lei Qing also laughed, “let alone nine, you can have all ten just stand and watch. Come, come, come, let me, Lei Qing, experience the power of your Dual Hammers.”

Yuchi Kou laughed heartily and immediately rushed forward with a quick step. One hammer struck down like Mount Tai, heading straight for Lei Qing’s head. The fierce copper hammer contained a touch of pure golden light. Under the hammer’s strike, the air burst forth with a series of tearing sounds.

This Yuchi Kou cultivated Metal-attribute Fighting Qi. Although every attribute of Fighting Qi had its own remarkable wonders, Metal-attribute Fighting Qi was always known for being sharp and tyrannical.

Lei Qing was arrogant in words, but in his heart, he absolutely did not dare to look down on Yuchi Kou. Yuchi Kou was not only a High-rank Silver strong fighter but also had records of defeating strong fighters of the same rank several times; he was definitely no minor character. Although Yuchi Kou was not tall and had a stocky build, his body was very thick, strong, and his power was immense.

Calmly, Lian Zhan turned into a white streak and gently met the attack. Against this kind of powerful fighter, how could Lei Qing be stupid enough to compete with raw strength?

With a clang, Lei Qing’s sword precisely hit the weakest point of the copper hammer’s force, using skillful force to deflect it aside. The tactical intention was achieved, but even though Lei Qing used the ‘Unloading’ formula, his arm still went numb from the reaction force of the copper hammer, and his blood surged.

“‘Unloading’ formula. Hehe, Lei kid, you’ve got some skills.” Yuchi Kou laughed loudly, “Let’s see how many of my moves you can unload.” His short, thick arms swung, and two solid, basket-sized hammers attacked Lei Qing continuously like windmills.

The air constantly exploded under his strikes, and the pressure suddenly increased.

Lei Qing knew his strength was immense and difficult to match head-on. If he remained passive all along, he probably wouldn’t last thirty moves. He immediately took a deep breath, activated the Rushing Thunder Formula movement technique, his feet stepping as if on rushing thunder, sizzling and buzzing, executing various skillful steps that were erratic and hard to predict.

The Lian Zhan in his hand struck out continuously, displaying a sky full of sword shadows.

Clang, clang, clang. Under a series of heavy strikes, although Lei Qing blocked them all, he was shaken by the dual hammers until his whole body’s blood boiled, and the tiger’s mouth hurt so much he almost couldn’t hold the sword. Under the pressure of the continuous attacks, he retreated seven or eight zhang.

Having blocked everything, there happened to be a temporary gap in Yuchi Kou’s offensive. Lei Qing saw the opportunity and immediately stepped rapidly, moving like a Flood Dragon, and with a spin, circled to Yuchi Kou’s side. At the same time, his sword move suddenly erupted, striking out like brilliant fireworks.

But Yuchi Kou was not nervous; instead, he laughed. The copper hammer slashed from bottom to top without any fancy moves, using brute force to break skill and directly hitting the center point of Lei Qing’s Lightning Flash and Thunder Clap move. With a clang, it knocked Lian Zhan away.

The brilliant sword radiance was completely broken by his one move. The reaction force rushed into Lei Qing’s internal organs along his arm, causing a turmoil that nearly made him vomit, and he suffered slight internal injuries.

However, Lei Qing was not shocked but happy, and laughed loudly, “Refreshing, refreshing, enjoyable.” In his eyes, a hot and arrogant aura was fully revealed.

While saying this, the sword moves in his hand did not pause at all. Having finally seized the initiative, Lei Qing’s moves bombarded Yuchi Kou continuously.

Although Yuchi Kou was strong, his Fighting Secret Art and combat skills were not known for speed and length. After all, no matter how great his strength, with heavy heads and light handles on the dual hammers, inertia prevented his moves from connecting too quickly.

At least, they couldn’t compare with the speed of the Lei Family’s Heavenly Thunder Combat Code, so he had to continuously block Lei Qing’s counterattacks. But after breaking one of Lei Qing’s moves, just as he wanted to counterattack, the next move followed immediately, like river water, endlessly.

In a short time, Lei Qing attacked more than ten times, each move fierce and domineering, leaving Yuchi Kou little chance to counterattack. But Yuchi Kou, after all, had more cultivation and experience than Lei Qing.

Since he couldn’t counterattack, he honestly defended. Lei Qing wasn’t a god; such fierce attacks consumed Fighting Qi extremely rapidly.

Sure enough, after more than a dozen moves, Lei Qing’s breath of force waned, and his movements slowed slightly. But this fleeting opening was caught by Yuchi Kou, who smashed a very simple hammer through the air.

At this moment, Lei Qing was at the point where his old force had gone, and new force had not yet arisen. In a hurry, he blocked with Lian Zhan. An irresistible force blasted him and his sword away, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
