Chapter Eighty-two: White Tiger Rules Murder

  "What? Such great strength!"

  "Can strength support a tripod? Legend has it that among the founding heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, there was such a figure."

  "How is this possible? This thing weighs at least over a thousand catties!"

  "Ah yo! Damn it, it's really heavy!"

  The crowd was in an uproar, with everyone discussing and speculating. Several people suspected that Pan Hao had pulled a fast one and hastily went forward to examine the stone lion to see if it was genuine. As a result, they themselves took the stage, but the stone lion remained motionless.

  "Whoever can lift it above their head, Song Yu will immediately reward a thousand taels of gold!" Pan Hao's eyes swept across the crowd around him, his figure standing tall and proud. The young master who was originally full of bookish air now had a radiant complexion, with an heroic aura on his face.

  "I'll give it a try!" The burly man who had just mocked Pan Hao stepped forward. "Song Gongzi, I was wrong to offend you earlier, I'm Zhang, and I don't know my own limits, but I still want to give it a shot."

  "Good! Zhang Han has finally taken the stage!" Someone beside him seemed to recognize this burly man, and when they saw him come out, they immediately shouted loudly.

  "Who is this guy?" asked a stranger standing beside him.

  "Haha, you didn't know that! Zhang Han is a native of Tianshui County, and has been incredibly strong since he was young. At the age of 18, he even ventured into the deep mountains alone and hunted down two giant centipedes with his bare fists. Those two creatures were beaten to death by him, and his brute strength is terrifying. He's the number one hunter in our Tianshui County."

  "It turned out that the legendary tiger-skinning strongman from Tianshui County a few years ago was him!" Someone couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking at Zhang Han with sudden realization.

  "It was actually him, at that time the whole Qingyu County was shocked!"

  "Isn't it?"

  He has a robust and sturdy physique, with a prominent jawline and tiger-like whiskers. His eyes gleam like those of a leopard, exuding an aura of unyielding authority.

  "Nature can give it a try! Please!" Pan Hao's body leaned to one side, his large hand making an inviting gesture.

  A burly man bowed to Pan Hao, walked up to the stone lion, and slapped his hands on its base. His face turned red, his legs trembled, and he lifted the thousand-pound lion over his chest. Suddenly, with a loud crash, the lion fell, and the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers.

  But Da Han secretly sighed, this Song Gongzi was indeed an extraordinary person who could measure up to his own strength, and he had been able to lift it since childhood.

  "Song Gongzi has decided to join forces with you!" The burly man wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead.

  Pan Hao didn't hesitate and said loudly: "Alright! From now on, we'll fight side by side, brother!"

  "Yes, young master!" Zhang Han respectfully bowed and addressed the young master. He retreated to the back of Pan Hao, obviously taking Pan Hao as the leader.

  Pan Haixin was secretly delighted, this Zhang Han had no true energy in his body, and just now he lifted a thousand catties relying solely on brute force. This is clearly a person with innate divine power! Only those who have been soldiers know that they must be a great general, even if the spiritual energy in this world is abundant, innate divine power is still rare.

  Moreover, Pan Haowang's aura was surging, and although Zhang Han's head only had pure white energy, it suddenly flourished into red after merging with his own. The pure white energy instantly proliferated into red, and in just one moment, it had already dyed a light red. This clearly indicated that his fortune was about to rise. Furthermore, within the red aura, a fierce tiger seemed to be lurking, which signified that he had the White Tiger star, and the White Tiger governed killing.

  After that, there are Greedy Wolf and Broken Army. During the war, the most appeared is that as long as absorbing enough evil spirits, killing spirits, and iron-blooded spirits, killing people with the same fate as White Tiger, the illusory White Tiger will leap out, shocking thousands of troops, and roaring to the world.

  Because he was cast under Pan Hao's command, Pan Hao's light red aura suddenly deepened. As the number of soldiers increased, it would inevitably become a crimson aura.

  "Good! I didn't expect Young Master Song to be so brave and powerful. As a descendant of a military family, I couldn't let myself fall behind!" A tall and sturdy man with thick eyebrows and a straight back stood up after seeing Song Yu's terrifying power, combined with Zhang Han's surrender.

  "Good! I believe following Song Gongzi will definitely make us stand out!" Another man stood up.

  ……

  In the Song Mansion's grand hall.

  "Take this letter and go find Captain Yang, he's an old acquaintance of my father's, he can give you some help!" Song Wen handed Pan Hao a letter and instructed.

  Pan Hao held the letter, his eyes deep and profound, he was about to take this step himself. He nodded at Song Wen and slowly walked away. Song Wen watched Pan Hao disappear into the distance, feeling a mix of emotions!

  Having purchased armor and weapons, the 400-strong volunteer army marched out of the city in grand style and stopped at Yangcheng in Yongzhou Prefecture to pay respects to the regional commander. As the regional commander was in charge of military affairs for the entire prefecture, it was only natural that they would report to him before submitting their request to the governor. After obtaining approval, they would be granted temporary command authority; otherwise, they would be considered a rogue army and might be attacked by both the imperial court and the rebel forces at any time, falling into an isolated and helpless situation.

  The troops of Yongjun were not stationed in Yangcheng at ordinary times, but this Yangcheng was the throat of Pingzhou. After opening up Yangcheng, it can be said that several counties below are unobstructed.

  Yangcheng County Government

  "General, someone requests an audience!" A soldier clad in armor came in to report.

  "Ah! Who is it?" A middle-aged man with a square face, dignified and majestic, emitting an aura of authority, asked from within the county government office.

  "It is said that he is the son of Song Wenzhi!" The soldier replied in a stiff and formal tone.

  "Song Wen! Ask him to come in!" Yang Liang said with a puzzled expression.

  Before long, a young figure walked in.

  "Nice to meet you, Sir!" Pan Hao bowed and said loudly.

  "Hmm!" Yang Liang's gaze returned from the military map hanging high up, and he slowly turned around. "At ease! How is your father's health?"

  "My father is in good health! He also asked me to extend his greetings to the General!" Pan Hao stood up straight and replied respectfully.

  Yang Liang looked at the young man in front of him and for a moment he saw the Song Wen from over twenty years ago.

  Pan Hao explained his intention, and Yang Liang hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He immediately gave the order to prepare the documents, record them, and issue the military order. Then he dismissed Pan Hao.

  Qingyu County, in the study, there is sandalwood fragrance wafting, refreshing and invigorating, able to refresh the mind. Pan Hao slowly put down a volume of ancient books, the development on that side went smoothly, and he successfully took advantage of the chaos to enter the battlefield.

  The battlefield is filled with ominous energy, and my current strength is not enough to intervene. The City God position in the Prefectural Heavenly County is about to solidify, and once it does, I can look for the next county.

  Boom, suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged violently within the Pan Mansion. Pan Hao raised his head and flashed out of sight, disappearing into the room. In the backyard, Pan Hao fixed his eyes on something and saw that Xi Wen had broken through again. It seemed that her foundation was deep and her cultivation had naturally led to a breakthrough.

  In the sky, the spiritual energy seemed to be a whirlpool, rolling up all the spiritual energy of Qingyu City. However, ordinary people who were not cultivators could not see it. Xiao Yao and Xiao Tao looked at Xian Yun in surprise as she suddenly closed her eyes, wondering if she was ill?

  "Xiao Yao, Xiao Tao! Stop it before you hurt Wen!" Pan Hao appeared just in time and stopped them.

  "Master, look! Miss doesn't know what's wrong!" Xiaoyao and Xiaotao exclaimed anxiously as they saw Pan Hao appear.

  "It's okay! Just wait a bit and it'll be fine!" Pan Hao said calmly, staring at the spiritual vortex in the air above.

  Half a minute later, the aura weakened and the spirit calmed down. Xiǎo Wén slowly opened her eyes, a clear and cold silver light flashed in her pupils, and instantly the little girl's bright big eyes stared blankly at the three people in front of her.

  Then suddenly jumped up, hugged Pan Hao tightly and hung on his neck, saying in a coquettish tone: "It broke through by itself, it has nothing to do with me!"

  "Alright, I know!" Pan Hao couldn't help but smile wryly at this little girl.

  Xiao Yao and Xiao Tao were bewildered, what breakthrough? They just closed their eyes for a moment, and something happened? The two of them looked at each other in confusion. The two of them couldn't figure it out, so they could only shake their heads in dismay.
