"I've heard of it." Su Changfeng nodded. Huo Tian had told him that the Mountain Clinging was a technique from the Eight Super Fist. If perfected, it could kill with a single move. But why was Dao Jiu now...
As Su Changfeng began to ponder, a look of fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
Could it be that the trees weren't destroyed by wild beasts, but by humans?
If that's true, how powerful must this master be!
"Re...really?" For the first time, Su Changfeng stuttered out of panic, not quite believing that those trees were knocked down by a person.
Dao Jiu adjusted his breathing and said, "I've heard before that those more extreme fellows do this to practice the Mountain Clinging."
Su Changfeng's scalp instantly tingled. If such a terrifying person really existed, then they didn't come here for nothing this time.
"Were all these feats created by that expert you mentioned?" Su Changfeng asked.
Dao Jiu shook his head and replied, "According to my investigation, that master is already over 60 years old. There's no way he would practice in such a brutal way. Maybe he has a new apprentice."
"Let's go find that master, I can't wait any longer." Su Changfeng said.
Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind them, "Who are you?"
When Su Changfeng and Dao Jiu turned around, they saw a large man, bare-chested. Although Dao Jiu was big, he was much smaller than him.
And his left shoulder, covered with calluses, was clearly visible, indicating that all the feats in the forest were accomplished by this very person.
"Is this where you usually practice?" Su Changfeng asked him.
"Since you know, leave immediately." The man said calmly, with no disdain for Su Changfeng in his eyes, but rather a look of vigilance, as if the two strangers in front of him were like the wild beasts.
"We came here to visit Wu Chen. You must be Wu Chen's apprentice." Dao Jiu said.
The man looked at Dao Jiu with some surprise, and said, "You even know my master's name, who exactly are you?"
"I was guided by Master Wu Chen before, and I hope you can lead us to meet your master." Dao Jiu said.
"Alright, as long as you can withstand my Mountain Clinging."
These words made Su Changfeng and Dao Jiu smile bitterly. Looking at the broken trees around them, if it were living people, they would likely be smashed to pieces. Who could withstand that?
"You don't need to worry, I didn't knock those trees down with a single hit. I'm not as strong as you both think." The man said humbly.
However, even so, it was no easy task to take his Mountain Clinging head-on.
"I'll take you on." Dao Jiu took a step forward and said to the man.
"My name is Wang Tianhu. Just in case something unexpected happens, you can tell King Yan my name." Wang Tianhu laughed.
This made Su Changfeng's hair stand on end. It was obvious this person wouldn't hold back. They came this time to invite people to come out of seclusion, and Su Changfeng didn't want Dao Jiu to get seriously injured or even lose his life here, that would be a huge loss.
"How about we have a different kind of exchange, make a bet. If you lose, you must take us to your master. If we lose, we'll leave the mountain immediately. How about that?" Su Changfeng said to Wang Tianhu.
Wang Tianhu looked at Su Changfeng with doubt and asked, "What method?"
"I'm a man of integrity, so how about we play rock-paper-scissors? What do you think?" Su Changfeng suggested.
Dao Jiu looked at Su Changfeng with bewilderment and shock. He actually wanted to play rock-paper-scissors with such a person, it was like daydreaming. There's no way that person would play with him like that.
"What's rock-paper-scissors?" Wang Tianhu asked Su Changfeng, puzzled. He had been in the mountains since he was a child, with little contact with the outside world.
And in Wang Tianhu's memory, he had almost forgotten everything from down the mountain. All he remembered was continuously crashing into trees to accomplish the mission his master had given him.
Seeing Wang Tianhu's puzzled expression, Su Changfeng saw a glimmer of hope. It seemed Wang Tianhu usually stayed in the mountains and didn't have much interaction with the outside world.
Despite his formidable strength, his mind was quite empty, or rather, simple, and for someone like Wang Tianhu, Su Changfeng could indeed confuse him.
Of course, Su Changfeng didn't dare be too wanton. If he angered this man, and they started fighting without a word, he might die on this mountain.
Su Changfeng explained the rules of rock-paper-scissors to Wang Tianhu, who had never encountered anything from the world outside the mountain before, so he was very intrigued. This common little game seemed like a new discovery to Wang Tianhu.
After familiarizing himself with the rules, Wang Tianhu was eager to try it out and said to Su Changfeng, "Come on, quickly."
"A bet's a bet. One round determines the winner. If we win, you'll take us to see your master. Whoever goes back on their word is a coward." Su Changfeng reminded him.
"Of course, whoever cheats is a coward." Wang Tianhu agreed.
Dao Jiu watched the unexpected scene. Even though they were playing a very ordinary little game, somehow he became tense. If Su Changfeng lost, they would have to leave.
"Brother Changfeng, are you sure?" Dao Jiu asked Su Changfeng.
"In this kind of game, everything except bad luck, nothing else is certain." Su Changfeng said helplessly.
While talking to Dao Jiu, Su Changfeng deliberately spread out his right hand, palm open, and moved it subtly to attract Wang Tianhu's gaze.
This was also a psychological suggestion, and for someone as naive as Wang Tianhu, it could be particularly effective.
"Rock-paper-scissors."
"Rock-paper-scissors."
When both of them shouted, Su Changfeng clenched his fist, while Wang Tianhu, unsurprisingly, extended two fingers.
"You lost." Su Changfeng smiled and said.
A tense Dao Jiu finally relaxed, and since Su Changfeng won, he quickly said to Wang Tianhu, "We agreed earlier, now it's time to fulfill the bet. You have to take us to your master."
Wang Tianhu looked regretful. He couldn't understand how he lost, staring at his two extended fingers, thinking that if he had chosen paper, it would have been better.
Seeing Wang Tianhu's expression, Su Changfeng smiled faintly. It was fortunate Wang Tianhu was naive, or else they wouldn't have been able to trick him.
