Xiao Lan's words were both tactful and sharp, feigning ignorance while knowing the truth.
She was just an employee, earning her living through her own talent. If everyone acted like Tang Hao, yelling and acting like a rogue, she wouldn't be happy at work either.
"No way! You have to take this money!"
Tang Hao was anxious. He could lose face, but the face of their number one sect, the Clear Sky Sect, absolutely could not be lost!
Seeing Tang Hao's actions, A Yin's little face was full of confusion.
"Fu Ye, didn't this uncle just say the food wasn't good and he didn't want to pay? Why is he forcing that lady to take the money now?"
"I don't know, maybe he couldn't find the money."
A Yin and Fu Ye's conversation was overheard by the surrounding diners, and soon some people chuckled softly.
"If you don't like the food, you don't pay. Forcing you to pay, maybe they just didn't have the money."
Hearing Fu Ye and A Yin's words, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao finally lost their temper, their faces contorted with embarrassment. As the two prodigies of the renowned Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, how could they tolerate such humiliation?
However, before Tang Hao could even unleash his Soul Douluo-level soul power, the young man who had just paid Xiao Lan suddenly unleashed a soul power fluctuation no weaker than Tang Hao's.
"Brother," he said, "I'm a regular at Juxiang Pavilion. The taste and price are just what I like. If you don't like it, you can leave. They didn't ask you to pay. But if you want to smash this place, this old customer won't allow it."
He slowly stood up, his gaze sharp as a sword fixed on Tang Hao. Tang Xiao, sensing this powerful soul power fluctuation, immediately stepped in front of his younger brother.
Fu Ye raised an eyebrow at this scene, because his system had just given him detailed information about the young man.
"Sword Dao Chen Xin."
[Chen Xin's
Age: 60 years old
Identity: The only surviving member of the Battle Soul Sect, the sole inheritor of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, and once the strongest weapon Martial Soul on the continent.
Level: 89.
Martial Soul: Seven Kill Sword (Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black)]
The atmosphere was tense, and the surrounding diners dared not even breathe
Tang Hao, however, turned his gaze to Fu Ye, who was sitting on the second floor watching the commotion, his eyes filled with a cold glint. "If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't ruin the business of Juxiang Pavilion."
Sword Dao Chen Xin didn't waste words with them. He had been idle lately, and his hands were itching to fight. He had just encountered these two troublemaking Soul Douluos from the Haotian Sect at his usual restaurant.
He had always wanted to personally reclaim the title of strongest weapon Martial Soul from the Battle Soul Sect, the Seven Kill Sword, because the Haotian Sect had stolen it.
"Hmph! I'll leave the money here. I, Tang Hao, am not someone who can't even afford a meal!"
Tang Hao placed the bag of money directly on the table, while Xiao Lan ignored him and went to attend to other matters after paying Chen Xin's bill.
As for the other waiters? They had already achieved financial freedom by buying houses and getting married through their jobs; why would they covet Tang Hao's meager earnings? Besides, they had rules here: thieves would be fired on the spot, and they weren't stupid!
And so everyone witnessed this comical scene: none of the six or seven waiters on the first floor paid any attention to Tang Hao.
"Wow, it's rare to see the Haotian Sect's two heroes get their comeuppance!"
"Haha, what 'two heroes,' it's 'two tribulations,' hahaha!!"
"It's over, Juxiang Pavilion is quite famous around here. Wait until they update their blacklist tomorrow, and the Haotian Sect will be in an awkward position!"
"Wow, how exciting! But who is that young man? His aura is no less than Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Chen Xin and the Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, walked outside.
Because it was nearing evening, there were far fewer pedestrians on the road. Many people, seeing the tense standoff between Chen Xin and Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, stopped and watched the spectacle from a distance.
It's well known that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao are quite famous in Tiandou City, but it's unclear who the man standing opposite them is.
At this moment, Fu Ye is searching the system shop.
"Found it!"
[Item: Perfected Great Perfection Sword Intent; Stock: 99999 Price: 0 (Maximum one per purchase)] [
Item: Opportunity for Enlightenment; Stock: 99999 Price: 0 (Maximum one per purchase)]
Fu Ye clicks to confirm purchase.
[Congratulations to the host for purchasing Perfected Great Perfection Sword Intent x1, Congratulations to the host for purchasing Opportunity for Enlightenment x1]
[Congratulations to the host for fusing Perfected Great Perfection Sword Intent!]
The Perfected Great Perfection Sword Intent instantly filled Fu Ye's body.
This sword intent felt as if he had honed it for thousands of years, able to control it freely.
Looking at Jian Dao Chen Xin, who was standing up for Juxiang Pavilion below, a smile appeared on Fu Ye's lips.
"Tang Hao, level 83, Power Attack-type Soul Douluo, Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer."
"Tang Xiao, level 83, Power Attack-type Soul Douluo, Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer. May I ask your name?"
Both Tang Hao and Tang Xiao displayed their strength, while Chen Xin's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"Chen Xin, level 89, Power Attack-type Soul Douluo, Martial Soul: Seven Kill Sword!"
As his words fell, a chilling aura instantly filled the surrounding air, and in his hand appeared a sharp longsword that gleamed coldly in the night.
"Seven Kill Sword! You are the last descendant of the War Soul Sect, Sword Dao Chen Xin!"
As one of the three great sects, the War Soul Sect possessed the extremely powerful Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, once holding the title of the strongest weapon Martial Soul. If it weren't for Tang Hao's grandfather, Tang Chen, who single-handedly swept across the continent with his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword would still be the number one weapon Martial Soul on the continent!
However, the Seven Kill Sword lineage is passed down only once. The previous sect leader, Chen Xin's father, challenged the Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu in pursuit of a breakthrough, ultimately dying at the hands of the Spirit Hall. This led to internal strife and the complete decline of the War Soul Sect.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao never expected to encounter him here so coincidentally.
It's said that all War Soul Sect disciples possess sword-wielding martial souls, and each disciple is a complete battle maniac. The sect leader's son, Sword Dao Chen Xin, is even more so!
"Further words are useless. Today, I'll see if your Clear Sky Hammers are as powerful as rumored."
With that, an indescribable killing intent instantly enveloped the entire area. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.
Although their opponent was five levels higher than them, there were two of them!
"One step, one kill; seven steps, seven kills!"
"Buzz!"
With the hum of the longsword, Jian Daochenxin was instantly enveloped in a dense sword aura, like a protective qi in a martial arts world covering his body. However, it also possessed a powerful cutting force, capable of tearing anything that touched his skin to shreds instantly.
"First Soul Skill, Longsword Strike!"
