The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 424 Decisive Battle on the Summit of Ten Thousand Crane Mountain

Chapter 1 Wanhe Mountain

Wanhe Mountain is the highest peak in Hong Kong Island.

It is a mountain range composed of several smaller mountains with lower altitudes and a towering main peak.

The terrain is steep, undulating, with overlapping peaks and verdant greenery.

According to historical records, Wanhe Mountain was originally all small mountains with relatively low altitudes.

Legend has it that a Dharma cultivation adept named Wanhe once attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality here. The main peak where his dojo was located suddenly rose thousands of meters on the day of his ascension, hence its current appearance.

The mountain was thus named Wanhe Mountain, and some also call it Wanhe Immortal Mountain.

Of course, this is probably just a beautiful legend.

According to Chen Xiao's observation, there are no traces of immortals ever appearing here. As for the main peak becoming higher, it was mostly caused by geological changes.

That legend is more like a story fabricated by the locals to attract tourism.

A few days ago, Chen Xiao destroyed half of the Hong Kong Island's magic arts world. Today, the remaining half has almost come out in full force.

Before dawn, they arrived at Wanhe Mountain, seized good positions around the main peak, and waited to witness a world-shattering duel.

Tu Junhou is the number one figure in Hong Kong Island's magic arts world, and Chen Xiao single-handedly killed half of it.

The duel between these two is like a collision of Mars and Earth, bound to cause a huge uproar.

The long-silent Hong Kong Island magic arts world has ushered in an unprecedented and earth-shattering showdown.

"Today, Master Tu must teach that Chen brat a lesson. How dare he look down on Hong Kong Island's magic arts world? He's simply arrogant."

An old man, black and thin, with a plaster on his forehead, said with an angry face.

He is Gou Tianshi, who claims to be the number one in Hong Kong Island's feng shui world, and is also a crony of Xu Banxian. Xu Banxian died at the hands of Chen Xiao, which deprived him of a drinking buddy, and he hated Chen Xiao to death.

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman giggled.

"Teach him a lesson? The Chen brat killed Master Tu's disciple. If he doesn't leave his little life here today, he can forget about leaving Wanhe Mountain!"

The woman was heavily made up and dressed extremely flirtatiously, but she was already past her prime. No matter how much she dressed up, she couldn't hide the essence of a faded beauty.

Liu Sanniang, a Hong Kong Island poison master, is both righteous and evil. She was famous for her beauty when she was young, and as she grew older, her status in the jianghu also rose.

"Speaking of which, after I was defeated by Tu Junhou fifteen years ago, I haven't seen him make a move again. I don't know how strong he is now."

"But in any case, Tu Junhou killing that Chen brat should be no more difficult than slaughtering chickens and dogs."

An old man with white hair stroked his white beard, looked at the top of the main peak, and although there was unwillingness in his eyes, there was more admiration.

Fifteen years ago, Tu Junhou defeated him, thus establishing his position as the number one in Hong Kong Island's magic arts world.

Before that, the reputation of the number one in Hong Kong Island's magic arts world belonged to him, Yu Baimei.

Behind the three of them were more than a dozen magic arts masters, but these people could only compliment and echo, because these three represented the second echelon of Hong Kong Island's magic arts world, second only to Tu Junhou, who ranked first.

Since Chen Xiao bombarded and killed half of Hong Kong Island's magic arts world, the entire Hong Kong Island magic arts world was furious, so these people all supported Tu Junhou.

Of course, not everyone supported Tu Junhou.

At least Huang Lao wouldn't. At this time, he found an inconspicuous place to sit down alone.

First, he didn't think he belonged to Hong Kong Island's magic arts world, and he couldn't pee in the same pot with that group of people.

Secondly, the people they supported were different. In case of a dispute, he would be outnumbered and might suffer.

The main thing that this old man has been able to live to such an old age is the word 'gou' (苟 - survive, cling to life)!

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools, you don't know the divine power of Mr. Chen at all. When you have seen Mr. Chen's power with your own eyes, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant."

Yu Baimei and the others' words were carried by the wind into Huang Lao's ears, immediately eliciting his look of disdain.

"Hey, old man, move aside, give me some room."

Just as Huang Lao was indignant for Chen Xiao, a very impolite voice suddenly came from behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a disheveled young man squeezed beside Huang Lao and found a place to sit down.

Huang Lao couldn't help being stunned. This young man was unkempt, but he was obviously not an ordinary person.

Because Wanhe Mountain is closed today, ordinary people can't get in at all.

This is also the reason why Hua Ge, Wu Yufei and others can't go up the mountain to watch the battle.

Huang Lao racked his brains, but he couldn't recognize who this young man was.

But he didn't think much about it, after all, there are so many experts in Hong Kong Island, and he doesn't know everyone.

At this time, the young man asked him with a hippie smile: "Old man, who do you think is more powerful between the two of them? Who can win?"

Huang Lao frowned slightly and ignored the rude young man.

The young man didn't care, and said to himself: "No matter which of them wins, I will challenge that person! It's really exciting!"

Huang Lao's old face sank, and he continued to remain silent.

It turned out that this kid was a madman, so there was even less need to pay attention to him.

At this moment, a young man appeared on the mountain road. Apart from being a little handsome, he could be described as unremarkable. He was walking towards the top of the mountain step by step.

"This is Chen Xiao? He doesn't look like much!"

"Can you tell if he's great or not? Does he have to have three heads and six arms to be considered great?"

"Stop arguing with me, believe it or not, I'll slap you down the mountain!"

The real duel has not yet begun, but the onlookers are about to fight first.

However, after Yu Baimei saw Chen Xiao, his eyes shook slightly.

Originally, he was full of confidence in Tu Junhou, but at this moment, he was slightly shaken.

Because this young man was too calm. He couldn't see any domineering aura in him, nor did he make a show of force. As for the tension before the war, he couldn't see it at all.

All there was was calmness and ease.

It was as if he was just going to the market to buy groceries, not to face the number one figure in Hong Kong Island's magic arts world.

Yu Baimei felt that even Tu Junhou couldn't do this calmness!

Chen Xiao also noticed the fluctuations of spiritual energy here, but he didn't care.

Seeing that the sun was about to leap out of the horizon, Chen Xiao stomped his feet on the ground. After a few ups and downs, he came to the top of Wanhe Mountain's main peak.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, the sun had just risen.

An old man in a white robe stood proudly. He faced away from the east, and the rising sun painted a golden edge around him.

He looked like a deity.

The number one figure in Hong Kong Island's magic arts world is him, Tu Junhou!

"I didn't expect that you would really dare to come. Originally, I was prepared to wait here for a day..."
