Chapter Thirty-Six: Dragon and Tiger with Yin Nan

  A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because it has a fairy; a river is not spiritual because of its depth, but because it has a dragon.

  Here there are high mountains and green waters, but whether or not there is a spiritual energy no one knows, whether or not there are dragons and immortals no one knows.

  At the foot of the mountain, there is only a patch of emerald bamboo forest. The lush green bamboos surround the pool of green water at the foot of the mountain, and at a glance, it seems to have infinite vitality and vigor, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.

  In the bamboo forest, brick walls and tile houses are faintly visible, and at a glance, there are at least ten tile houses hidden among the bamboo.

  The cottages seem to be scattered randomly and appear to have no connection with each other, the only common point being that they are all surrounded by a bamboo fence.

  Although it is so, yet if one carefully observes, there seems to be another story behind it.

  In the middle of more than a dozen tile-roofed houses, there was an empty space, and on this empty space stood more than a dozen huge white jade stones. This place is already the second layer of Tongxian's tomb, and it is also the transmission array that connects the first and second layers. The people living in the middle of the surrounding tile-roofed houses are the guardians of this transmission array.

  Longhu entered here thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, when mentioning the Overlord Longhu, who wouldn't give a thumbs up and praise him as "good man"? Unfortunately, thirty years ago, he met someone, a very mysterious person, because of that person's one sentence, Longhu lived in this tile house for twenty years.

  Dragon and Tiger were born with divine power, met a strange person in their childhood, learned the Dragon Subduing Hammer Method, relying on those two things, Dragon and Tiger dominated the rivers and lakes, never suffered a single defeat.

  One strike, the wind and clouds change color, heaven and earth shake.

  Thirty years ago, Longhu finally tasted the taste of defeat. The divine power and hammer method he relied on to pride himself were blocked by someone's little finger. Moreover, that person's little finger shook lightly, and his famous Cold Iron Seven Star Hammer was shattered into powder by that shaking force.

  "After shattering the dragon and tiger's cold iron hammer, he only said one sentence: 'If you want to know what is the pinnacle of martial arts, follow me! I will take you into a completely different world!'"

  The dragon and tiger wandered all over the place, with no home in the four seas. At the same time, he was also penniless, without a single possession. Upon hearing this sentence, the dragon and tiger didn't say a word, casually packed up a few clothes and followed that person into this place, where they stayed for thirty years.

  What's his name? Where does he live? Not even Dragon and Tiger know what that man looks like, because he always wears a black scarf.

  Longhu only knew that here, everyone called him Second Master. Although Longhu had never seen the mysterious Second Master, he dared to guarantee that as long as he appeared in front of himself, he would absolutely be able to recognize him.

  Because from the moment that mysterious Second Master pointed his Frost Iron Seven Star Mallet and shattered it into dust, Long Hu had already known that perhaps in this lifetime he would be unable to surpass him!

  Moreover, he is already an idol in the hearts of dragon and tiger. Since it's impossible to surpass him, then just try not to be left too far behind by him!

  Although, since the mysterious Second Master brought him here, Longhu had never seen him again, however, Longhu had never held it against him! Although for thirty years, Longhu had not left this place a single step, but towards his current life, Longhu was still quite satisfied!

  Spiritual elixirs and medicines are not lacking here, martial arts secret manuals are even more abundant, good sparring partners, there are many here as well. At least, within the dozens of tile-roofed houses surrounding this place, every single person living here would be delighted to engage in a match with him.

  "Brother Yin, this year is indeed the hundred-year opening of Tong Xian's tomb. I heard that not long ago, a group of people with the Tong Xian command have already entered. I don't know if anyone will enter our sphere of influence!" Under the shade of the bamboo forest, Long Hu and a middle-aged man were chatting happily.

  That middle-aged man had a hawk-like nose, and was over forty years old. He wore a dark blue changshan. In these thirty years, if you say that Longhu has the closest relationship with anyone, it must be Tianying Yin Nan.

  The two of them were similar in age and temperament, more importantly, thirty years ago they were old acquaintances, and Yin Nan also followed that mysterious and unpredictable Second Master into this place.

  Yin Nan smiled lightly and said, "Brother Long, let's not talk about whether the person can arrive at this place or not. Even if they really came here, with our current strength, are we still afraid of those people in the martial arts world? We can go out one or two at a time, and in the secular world outside, we may be invincible! Brother Long, why do you worry unnecessarily?"

  Longhu nodded and said: "That's also true, it's been so many years since I've seen the Second Master. This once-in-a-hundred-years event, I don't know if the Second Master will return to this place!"

  Yin Nan smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "In this Tongxian Mausoleum, there are three major executives, each in charge of one layer. Let's not talk about the other two executives for now, even if it's the other two major executives, very few people have seen them. However, the second executive is after all the main brain of the second layer, and if he returns, he will definitely come to this layer. It's just unknown whether he will pass through our place. If we're lucky enough to meet the second executive, it would be great if he could give us some guidance!"

  Longhu nodded and said: "It's been thirty years since I saw his old face, when I followed him here, he disappeared immediately!"

  Yin Nan also nodded, and sighed: "I'm not like that, even if I went to the Dan room, I've been through several rooms, but I've never seen his shadow, nor do I know what he's busy with all day?"

  "Ah!" Long Hu sighed, and then said: "Right, Yin brother, I had some new ideas about my hammer technique a few days ago, and made some improvements. I heard that your Tianying Eighteen Claws have recently merged with the Yinfeng Claw's skills, greatly increasing your strength. Why don't we take this opportunity to exchange blows?"

  Yin Nan smiled lightly and said, "I was just thinking the same thing! Brother Long, you choose the location! However, let's make sure it's a bit far from the houses. Remember last time when we were sparring, you knocked down half of my tile house!"

  Long Hu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yin! This time we definitely won't. Why don't we go to the nearby water pool instead? It's quiet and safe there, really a great place for us to spar!"

  Yin Nan nodded and said, "Let's do as Long Xiong says. I'll go first! Let's see who gets to the water pool edge first! The loser will have to give up a jar of Qing Ye wine!"

  Yin Nan's foot lightly touched the ground, and his whole body suddenly rose into the air, several feet high. His body flipped over, and Yin Nan flew swiftly towards the pond like a large bird.

  "You old eagle, you're at it again! How come every time is like this? I only get five jars of Qingye wine each month, and you've already cheated me out of one jar. Now you're here again!" Longhu shouted, but his feet didn't dawdle, and he sprinted forward in a straight line.

  On the banks of the green water, a dragon and a tiger stand majestically, motionless. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are just two stone carvings.

  "Tiger, remember, you owe me a jar of Qingye wine!" Yin Nan said first.

  "Eagle, when did I agree to gamble with you? It's a matter of life and death, but I don't have any Qingye wine!" Longhu put on an expression that said he was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

  Yin Nan smiled and said, "If you didn't agree, why did you follow me? I've heard that the Dragon Tiger Overlord is known for being a man of his word, able to pick up and put down as he pleases! How can you not even put down a single jar of wine? Ah!"

  Long and Hu's faces slightly flushed with excitement, Long said: "Alright, one jar owed is one jar, but let's make a deal first - this time we spar, whoever loses also owes a jar of wine. How about it?"

  Yin Nan smiled slyly and said, "You've finally spoken up, how can I not agree? Let's get started! Let me see what you've learned in the past few months!"

  "Then I won't be polite!" Longhu made a swift slash in the air, stretched out his hand and gently sucked in. A bamboo stick over 3 meters long was sucked into his hand.

  "Heaven and earth, all things can be a hammer! Look at my move, the supreme ruler of the world!" Longhu raised his bamboo pole and chopped towards Yinnan, without any fancy moves or complex techniques, just a simple chop.

  But this move was seen in Yin Nan's eyes. Yin Nan's expression changed immediately and he retreated several feet back.

  This move of dragon and tiger contains only power, unmatched power, so-called one force to defeat ten forces, it is exactly like this.

  "This tiger was originally incredibly powerful, and after cultivating for so many years, its strength is even more terrifying! With my defense, if I were to take a hit, I would definitely be seriously injured. How did it suddenly come up with such a hammering technique!" Yin Nan quickly dodged the dragon-tiger's attacks while searching for weaknesses in the dragon-tiger hammering technique.

  "Despot's Shackles!" Longhu bellowed loudly.

  As the dragon and tiger let out a loud roar, Yin Nan suddenly felt that his body was surrounded by a mysterious dark energy, and even his moving speed had been greatly reduced!

  "It seems that the bottle of Qingye wine I finally won is about to return to its original owner!" Yin Nan sighed. Suddenly, a white light flashed from the direction of the teleportation array not far away, and Yin Nan's eyes lit up.
