That evening, Xiang Nan and Sun Xiaohong arrived at the appointment on time at Yuebin Building outside Jingyang Gate.
“Li Tanhua, Miss Sun, welcome,” Shangguan Jinhong, the leader of the Money Gang, said with cupped hands.
He is over fifty years old, but he is in good spirits and his eyes are shining with an undoubted majesty.
“Shangguan Gang Leader, I have long admired his famous name, and it is like thunder in my ears. Today I finally meet him. I am very lucky.” Xiang Nan also cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Although he and Shangguan Jinhong were both ranked in the top ten of the weapons list, with one ranked second and the other third, the two of them had actually never met.
In fact, it’s not just that they haven’t met each other. Other experts who entered the top ten of the rankings also tacitly avoided meeting each other. They all seemed worried that they would accidentally start a fight after meeting.
"Li Tanhua is very polite. I have been friends with you for a long time. Please take a seat." Shangguan Jinhong said with a smile, "I know that Li Tanhua likes elegance and quietness, so I only invited one person to accompany me today."
Then he introduced the two of them, "This is the third Jinshi in the 12th year of Chenghua, and this is Lord Cui, the Minister of Food."
“Li Daxia is both civilized and military, and I have admired him for a long time.” Lord Cui cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Master Cui, you're welcome." Xiang Nan also cupped his hands.
"This is..." Shangguan Jinhong looked at Sun Xiaohong again.
“My little daughter, Sun Xiaohong.” Sun Xiaohong introduced herself.
"Sun...Xiaohong." Shangguan Jinhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Li Tanhua, I know that you are a drunkard, so I have specially prepared to store Nuerhong for thirty years. Is it possible that it could get into your throat?"
“Shangguan Gang Leader is too polite.” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
“Okay, let’s serve the wine.” Shangguan Jinhong immediately ordered.
…
After giving the order, a beautiful young woman came in with a wine jar and said, "Master Li, please use it slowly~"
She placed the wine jar in front of Xiang Nan and winked at him secretly.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly, opened the wine jar, and poured a glass. After drinking, he nodded repeatedly, "Good wine, good wine. If it weren't for the kindness of the leader of the Shangguan clan, where else could I get such a good wine."
“Li Tanhua is so polite.” Shangguan Jinhong said with a smile, “Red pink is given to beauties, and swords are given to righteous men. This fine wine must be met by knowledgeable people. In terms of the quality of wine, Li Tanhua is the best in the world. In terms of martial arts...”
"In terms of martial arts, although I am ranked third in the weapons rankings, behind the leader of the Shangguan clan, in fact, I have been unable to improve in the past ten years. If I talk about my true ability, I am afraid I will fall behind the tenth place."
“Li Tanhua is too polite.” Shangguan Jinhong said with a smile.
He does not think that Xiang Nan's martial arts has deteriorated. Yesterday he fought against Guan Fei. He restrained his sword with the "empty-handed sword" move, making it impossible for him to draw it out even with all his strength.
Although Shangguan Jinhong knew that his son Shangguan Fei's martial arts was not considered to be the best in the world, but he was ranked in the top 20 of the weapons spectrum, which was not worthy of praise at all.
Because Xiang Nan can defeat the enemy with one move, his eyesight, hand speed, and internal strength are all indispensable. From the perspective of Shangguan Jinhong, Xiang Nan's true strength may no longer be inferior to his own.
…
“Brother Jing, sit down and have a drink.” Xiang Nan greeted him warmly.
He knew that although Jing Wuming was ruthless with his sword, he was actually a very principled, compassionate and righteous person. worth to respect.
"No, no, no, there are heroes Li, Miss Sun, Master Cui and Shangguan Gang leader sitting here. I will never dare to sit down, absolutely not." Jing Wuming was flattered. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to think so highly of him, and he waved his hand quickly.
"Then I'll stand and toast Brother Jing." Xiang Nan stood up and said, then poured a glass of wine and waved his finger lightly. The glass of wine rose out of the air and slowly flew towards Jing Wuming, as if being caught by an invisible force. The hand is holding it in general. Everyone present was shocked when they saw this.
Shangguan Jinhong’s eyes narrowed into slits.
He can also do this kind of feat of picking up objects in the air. Not to mention a small wine glass, even a living person weighing a hundred pounds can still be grasped by him in the air.
However, the principle of picking up objects in the air is to rely on internal force to create airflow, and then use the airflow to push the objects.
But he could tell that there was no airflow around the glass of wine Xiang Nan sent. In this case, it is really unbelievable how this glass of wine rose out of thin air and flew towards Jing Wuming.
“Could it be that his internal strength has reached the stage of [turning emptiness into reality]?” Shangguan Jinhong couldn’t help but think.
For Sun Xiaohong, Jing Wuming, and Master Cui, it is already very rare to be able to pick up objects in the air, so naturally they are also surprised.
At this time, the wine glass was already in front of Jing Wuming.
“Thank you Li Tanhua for the wine.” Jing Wuming said with cupped hands, then took the glass and drank it all in one gulp, “Good wine.”
"Four people are here to kill~" At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly said again.
Everyone present was stunned and immediately became more vigilant. But after a while, no one was killed. He couldn't help but look at Xiang Nan with doubts, thinking that he was lying and trying to please others.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang and the window was broken. Four men in black rushed in and attacked the Minister of Food, Mr. Cui.
Shangguan Jinhong, Jing Wuming, Sun Xiaohong, and Master Cui were all shocked.
Especially Shangguan Jinhong's face was even more gloomy.
First, I didn’t expect that when he hosted a banquet tonight, someone would actually dare to come and assassinate him. They were so daring that they stepped on his face and rubbed it on the ground;
Second, I didn’t expect Xiang Nan’s martial arts to be so high. The four men in black were good at martial arts, and he only heard their movements when they came closer. However, Xiang Nan discovered it much earlier than he thought.
This shows that Xiang Nan's martial arts may be much higher than him, so his hearing is much better than him, so he can hear the footsteps of the four men in black early and give an advance warning.
…
Seeing four men in black rush in and kill Mr. Cui, Xiang Nan poured a glass of wine, which immediately turned into ice and shot out like a torrential rain.
Snap, snap, snap, snap, hit the men in black, causing them to freeze in place in an instant, unable to move.
“Good work.” Shangguan Jinhong praised him repeatedly when he saw it.
Pouring wine to make ice and ice beads to create acupuncture points... It sounds simple, but in fact it requires extremely high martial arts skills.
First, it requires extremely strong and extremely cold internal energy to freeze the wine into ice in an instant; second, it requires extremely powerful acupuncture techniques to tap the acupuncture points of four people at the same time.
These two are indispensable.
It is extremely rare to be able to do this in the world of martial arts. There are only a handful of them.
Xiang Nan, on the other hand, did it easily and effortlessly, which showed his skill even more.
"Master Shangguan is so polite." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Today we meet for the first time, and we are in a lively conversation. How could we be disturbed by a few bugs?"
"You're right, you're right." Shangguan Jinhong nodded, "Wu Ming, take all these people down."
"yes."
