Chapter 17

The commander of the Hidden Dragon Guards was a middle-aged man with a full beard. His thick eyebrows were upside-down and his fierce eyes were glaring at Liu Ming. He gave off an imposing aura.This middle-aged man sat on the Blood Jade Horse and looked at Zhuowen's group with provocation in his eyes.Liu Tao strode to the front of the Blood Jade Horse and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "You must be the two commanders of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion. Now, young master Zhuowen has come to take over the Veiled Dragon Pavilion under the order of the family head."You are just a servant. What right do you have to talk to us?"A cold snort was heard. Then, a fierce fist wind whizzed toward Liu Tao. Before Liu Tao could react, he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, falling at Zhuo Wen's feet.The one who attacked Liu Tao was a handsome young man with a white face and no beard. At this moment, the young man had his hands behind his back and an arrogant look appeared on his face.Zhuo Wen's pupils slightly shrank. This young man was the vice commander who was sitting on the other Blood Jade Horse. His cultivation had already reached the level of Viscera Strengthening Stage. Furthermore, seeing how the young man had cleanly taken care of Liu Tao, Zhuo Wen was certain that this arrogant vice commander's strength was definitely above that of the instructor on the training field."Young master Zhuowen!Your people are so unreasonable. You won't mind if I teach them a lesson, right? "The vice commander clapped his hands and looked at Zhuowen meaningfully. He turned around and wanted to climb back onto the Blood Jade Horse."Young master!This old servant … "Liu Tao covered his chest and retreated behind Zhuowen in shame. As the supervisor of the outer court, Liu Tao's strength was not weak. He had reached the Divine Valor stage. Even so, he was easily dealt with by the vice commander of the Hidden Dragon Guards. This made Liu Tao, who was originally proud of himself, feel a little sad.Liu Tao originally thought that his status in the inner court would rise after he climbed onto Zhuowen's thigh. However, he was defeated by the vice commander in one move right after arriving at the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. This was a great loss of face."Hmph!You think you can leave so easily after beating up my men? "Zhuowen's lips cracked open as a vicious expression appeared on his face. Clearly, these Hidden Dragon Guards wanted to intimidate their new master. Perhaps in their eyes, their new master was only a brat who was still wet behind the ears. If he wanted these unruly Hidden Dragon Guards to submit, he would have to make them acknowledge his strength.Zhuowen's legs bounced off the ground, and he shot toward the Deputy Commander like a cannonball. His aura instantly rose to its peak, and an ear-piercing dragon's roar erupted from Zhuowen's body.Roar.Zhuowen's fists were like a giant dragon as they slammed toward the young man's waist. Bursts of whistling sounds accompanied by strong whirlwinds exploded in the surrounding air.The young man also felt the powerful aura behind him. He immediately flipped over and spread his arms like a bird's wings. Then, he dodged Zhuowen's punch with an unbelievable posture.Bang.The ground where the young man was standing suddenly spread out like a spider web, even exposing the yellow soil underneath.When they saw how terrifying Zhuo Wen's punch was, regardless of whether it was Liu Tao's servants or the solemn Hidden Dragon Guards on the other side, all of them could not help but open their mouths in shock.One had to know that the ground of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was made of hard limestone slabs. This kind of ground was indestructible and difficult to break. A normal Divine Valor Realm expert might not be able to break a limestone slab even if they used all their strength.However, Zhuowen was able to shatter dozens of limestone slabs with just one punch. This kind of destructive power was something that even a Strong Viscera Realm expert might not be able to do.However, Zhuowen's expression was very calm. Right now, he had the strength of four dragons in his body. His overall strength was far beyond a normal Divine Valor Realm expert. Even a Strong Viscera Realm expert might not be as strong as him.The young man's face was slightly pale. He didn't think that the young man in front of him would have such a large amount of strength. If he had been hit by that punch, he might have been seriously injured.The middle-aged man who had been coldly watching also revealed a trace of astonishment. He clearly didn't think that Zhuowen would have such a monstrous strength."You dodged pretty fast!I just don't know if you'll be able to dodge this attack. "Licking his slightly dry lips, Zhuowen's eyes turned scarlet. A sudden urge to kill rushed into Zhuowen's mind.Bang.A huge fluctuation surged out from Zhuo Wen's legs. Suddenly, Zhuo Wen's bones started to crackle. Then, the four huge dragon auras prostrated at Zhuo Wen's feet. Being surrounded by the four huge dragon auras, Zhuo Wen was like a heavenly god with an overflowing aura."What a powerful aura!How could such an aura appear on a Divine Valor Realm armored warrior? "The young man's face suddenly changed. His originally pale face turned ashen. He didn't think that the new master of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion would have such a powerful strength at such a young age. Sure enough, those who could become the master of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion were all simple. The young man slightly regretted provoking Zhuowen."This guy's speed is too fast. It's too late to dodge now. Looks like I can only face him head-on!"The young man clenched his teeth and immediately waved his hands. Then, a pale yellow light suddenly emerged from his body."Iron Rock Defense!"The young man roared. Then, the pale yellow light suddenly formed an oval-shaped shield in front of him. On the surface of the shield, there was a trace of grey-white rock spots."Zhuo Liancheng was actually forced to use the soul skill of his armor soul. Looks like the new master of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion is not simple!"The middle-aged man on the Blood Jade Horse looked at the shield in front of the young man and finally began to look serious.Roar!Roar!A huge dragon's roar followed. Then, Zhuowen's fists, accompanied by the aura of four huge dragons, fiercely smashed onto the shield in front of the young man.With a cracking sound, the seemingly indestructible shield actually began to crack. The young man couldn't help but kneel down under the impact of Zhuowen's huge force. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.Zhuowen frowned slightly. He didn't think that his strength of four dragons wouldn't be able to break the huge shield summoned by the young man."Looks like the 'Sword Shadow' is finally coming in handy!"The corners of Zhuo Wen's mouth curled up slightly. Then, with a thought, the sword silhouettes within his sea of consciousness immediately emitted a resonant sword cry. After that, 65 sword silhouettes with a cold glint appeared behind Zhuo Wen."Break for me!"Clang!The ten sword shadows stabbed into the cracks in the shield in front of him. With a bang, the small cracks on the surface of the shield suddenly spread out like a dense spider web. Then, in front of everyone's eyes, the shield shattered into pieces.The young man spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. He was caught by the Veiled Dragon Guard behind him.At this moment, the square suddenly fell into silence. Everyone stared blankly at the young man in the center of the square for a long time without saying a word. At this moment, the young man's charm was deeply engraved in everyone's minds.Chun 'er looked at Zhuowen's tall and straight figure. Her delicate face was full of pride. She knew that her young master had finally transformed.On the other hand, Liu Tao's eyes were shining. Although he saw Zhuowen defeat the instructor in the martial arts field with his own eyes, the instructor in the martial arts field couldn't compare to the vice commander of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion.No matter if it was the cultivation method, armor skills, or the quality of the armor soul, the instructor in the martial arts field couldn't compare to the vice commander of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion. Now, Zhuowen actually defeated the vice commander of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion. Now, Zhuowen was even more mysterious in Liu Tao's eyes. At the same time, Liu Tao was even more respectful of Zhuowen."You're the commander of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, right?I think you're slightly stronger than that trash of a vice commander. I'd like to see how strong you are! "Zhuowen's eyes were scarlet as he coldly said.Once Zhuowen's words came out, everyone's eyes immediately looked at the silent commander sitting on the Blood Jade Horse. When the young man heard Zhuowen call him trash, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and directly fainted.The middle-aged man slightly frowned. He deeply looked at the aggressive young man not far away. He laughed and dismounted from the horse. He respectfully knelt on one knee in front of Zhuowen and said, "Subordinate Zhuowen greets the Pavilion Master!"Zhuowen was startled. He didn't expect that the man who looked very provocative at the beginning would be so willing to worship him as his master. This made Zhuowen faintly feel that something was wrong.Looking at the bearded middle-aged man in front of him, Zhuowen could feel an aura that made him very uncomfortable. Zhuowen was sure that the man's strength was much stronger than the vice commander.Although the man was very respectful, Zhuowen didn't know why he could feel a trace of hatred from the man's deep eyes. This feeling made Zhuowen a little confused, but Zhuowen couldn't help but take it seriously."This commander of the Veiled Dragon Guards is a little strange!" Zhuowen slightly frowned and secretly raised his guard.Seeing that their leader also bowed to Zhuowen, the hundred Veiled Dragon Guards behind the middle-aged man immediately knelt on one knee in front of Zhuowen and shouted in unison, "Subordinate greets the Pavilion Master!"The hundred people's voices were very loud and clear. In an instant, the empty square was filled with echoes.Zhuowen's expression was calm. He didn't care much about the Veiled Dragon Guards' etiquette. However, behind Zhuowen, Liu Tao's hands were slightly trembling. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling.The Veiled Dragon Guards' cultivations were all at the Divine Valor Realm. Any one of them had a position in the Outer Court that was no weaker than him, the Outer Court's general manager. Not to mention, there was also the powerful Veiled Dragon Guards' commander, Zhuo Hanzhong.And this group of people was actually kneeling in front of him. Although they weren't kneeling to him, Liu Tao was still shocked to see this scene.

The commander of the Hidden Dragon Guards was a middle-aged man with a full beard. His thick eyebrows were upside-down and his fierce eyes were glaring at Liu Ming. He gave off an imposing aura.

This middle-aged man sat on the Blood Jade Horse and looked at Zhuowen's group with provocation in his eyes.
