Chapter Seventy-Six: Enemies of the Two Rings

-------------------------------------------------------------At first glance, this pair of thousand-forged silver hammers appears unremarkable, dull and gray, like any ordinary blacksmith's hammer. Bu..."Go take a look." Xie Xie didn't bother arguing with Tang Wulin and hurried towards that direction. Tang Wulin and Gu Yue followed behind.

"You can't do this, you can't do this! This is my dinner companion!" Even before they got close, the three of them could hear the cries of anguish, it was Li Shu's voice.

Xie Xian was at the front, quickly squeezing into the crowd.

The stove outside the "Beef Pot Restaurant" had been overturned, its clay pots smashed on the ground. Beef broth flowed across the floor, a rich aroma of meat mingled with hot steam. The scene was chaotic.

Li Shu fell at the entrance of the shop, blood from his mouth, and one eye swollen. His face was filled with grief and anger.

Three burly men stood at the entrance of the shop. The man at the front was bald and shirtless despite the cold, with a dragon tattoo on his arms.

The other two were also tall and imposing, with fierce brows and glaring eyes that didn't look like they meant any good.

"Li, a wise person knows the times. This street hasn't had anyone who dared not pay protection money yet. You're pushing back and forth, making it seem like I, Guanglong, am here to beg for food Would I specially come here just to ask for money from you If it wasn't because your pot-beef stew is actually pretty good, I would have already shut you down. Stop wasting my time, if you can't pay up now, then don't even bother opening your shop in the future." The bald man said with a cold gaze. Although there were many people surrounding him, none of them dared to speak up.

"Brother Guanglong, it's truly not that I don't give protection money. It's because my wife is seriously ill. I work day and night to earn some money just to pay for her medical expenses. You can't ruin my business! If you do, my wife won't survive, and I won't either."

Guolong burst into laughter. "You threaten me with your life Do you think I care about your pathetic existence Even if you were gone, another would take your place and pay protection money. If you can't afford it, get lost and stop taking up space." He kicked the stove at the entrance with his foot as he spoke, sending it crashing to the ground in an instant. The pot of stewing beef was instantly ruined, leaving a mess on the floor.

Li Shu cried out in despair, "Guanglong, I'll fight you to the death!" He struggled to his feet, lowered his head, and charged at Guanglong.

Kōryū let out a ferocious laugh, lifted his leg, and sent him flying with a kick. "Desperate In front of me, you don't even have the qualifications to be desperate! Don't forget, I'm a soul master."

"Can soul masters bully people like this" A furious shout came from beside them. The three of Tang Wulin just squeezed into the crowd and saw this scene. Xie Xie quickly rushed to Li Shu's side, helping him up. Tang Wulin glared angrily at Guanglong.

Guolong was stunned for a moment, seeing that it was just a child, and immediately laughed arrogantly again, "This street is really deserted! A child dares to interfere with my business, he's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Get lost, I don't hit children."

Tang Wulin, born into a commoner family, hated nothing more than bullying the weak. He strode up to Guanglong and said, "How could you treat Uncle Li like this Do you even have any humanity"

Guolong snorted coldly, “Can human beings be eaten as food He needs to support his wife, does that mean I don't need to support my mother There are rules, you little brat, get lost quickly and don't delay my business.”

As he reached out, he raised his hand and pushed it against Tang Wulin's shoulder.

Tang Wulin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly punched his own palm.

With a thud, Guanglong was sent stumbling back, but Tang Wulin was also taken aback. This guy, caught off guard, could still control his body and his strength wasn't weak either!

"Not bad, kid. You've got some guts," he said, spreading his hands wide, this time reaching for Tang Wulin's shoulder. His bare arms were covered in knotted muscles, his face a mask of ferocity.

Tang Wulin's forte wasn't his martial soul, but his strength. He would raise his hand and punch with all his might.

Another muffled thud echoed, but this time the force sent him reeling backward. He felt Guanglong's palm like a hammer forged from copper and iron, its power immense and overwhelming. His unstoppable strength seemed to falter against the onslaught, pushing him back two steps in defeat.

Kōryū was also taken aback. He had used all his strength in that grab, but the power coming from the youth's fist shook him and he couldn't hold on.

"Good son, you actually have some strength!" Guolong took another step forward and reached out towards Tang Wulin again.

Just then, strands of blue-silver grass surged from Tang Wulin's right hand. In almost an instant, they wrapped around the Guanglong, causing its feet to sink into the ground, unable to exert any force. Immediately after, a figure leaped into the air, hanging onto his shoulders with both legs, and a dagger was pressed against his neck.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie had trained together for three months, their cooperation becoming seamless. Seeing that Tang Wulin was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Gu Yue and Xie Xie, supporting Li Shuo, launched an offensive together.

Suddenly, Gu Long was caught off guard and had his throat pierced by the Dragon's Claw dagger.

With the Blue Silver Grass gathered, Tang Wulin still had great confidence in Xie Xie.

"Apologize to Uncle Li and compensate for the losses. Otherwise, I'll kill you!" Xie Xie's voice was chillingly cold. Seeing the kind Uncle Li being bullied, his heart was filled with anger at this moment.

"Don't be impulsive, brother. Let's talk things out." The two burly men beside him finally reacted. These thugs were good at judging the situation. If they were facing an adult, they wouldn't be too worried, after all, not many people would dare to kill on the street. But a child was a different story, because their age made them more likely to act impulsively without thinking of the consequences.

"There's nothing good about people like you," Xie Xie said in a cold voice. "Pay for Li Shu's losses and medical expenses, or I'll kill this bald head."

"Suddenly, Guanglong laughed. "Hey there, Soul Master, is that all you got I've been on these streets for years, if I didn't have some skills, do you think I could keep collecting protection money here Go ahead and try it, I want to see how you kill me."

Xie Xie was taken aback. At his age, he still couldn't quite understand the concept of being fearless. When he threatened Mu Xi before, she had quickly caved!

Guanglong pressed down with his dagger, he still wasn't sure if he dared to kill, but the hatred for Guanglong had made his brain hot.

But, as the dragon sub pressed down, he suddenly felt that this bald man's neck was incredibly hard, and the dragon sub couldn't press any further down.

"Heart!" Tang Wulin reminded in time, and Gu Yue also released a fireball toward the Guanglong's chest.

Kōryū's right fist already struck forward boldly, heading towards Xie Xīe.

At the same time, two rings of light rose from beneath his feet, clearly two spirit rings, one white and one yellow. The skin on his body that was exposed turned completely iron gray, and at his neck, there even grew chunks of protruding iron-gray scales.ome idea what the seed was, so he gave such guidance. "At this moment, Tang Wulin's internal energy surged wildly, like a giant balloon. He didn't dare to open his mouth for fear that if he did, his...
