Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 988: Excessive? I Don’t Think So!

Tu Hu and Huang Miao exchanged pleasantries with each other; on the surface, both seemed amicable, but inside, each had their own schemes.

The team members standing behind Tu Hu and Huang Miao, however, were not nearly as courteous.

The four team members behind Tu Hu, upon seeing the corpses of the Antlered Silver Lions scattered all over the ground, already had their eyes gleaming with greed. Clenching their fists, they circulated their True Yuan, their fighting spirit rising, ready to battle with Huang Miao and her five companions.

In terms of numbers, Tu Hu’s team and Huang Miao’s team were evenly matched. Before Tu Hu revealed his true strength, the overall power of the two teams was fairly equal. But after Tu Hu defeated Core Disciple Zhou Tong, his team’s confidence inflated tremendously; they didn’t take Huang Miao’s team seriously at all.

"Junior Sister Huang, I’d like to discuss something with you..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Huang Miao, Tu Hu’s expression suddenly turned serious.

"What must come, will always come..."

Huang Miao knew Tu Hu was ready to lay his cards on the table and sighed inwardly, saying with a solemn expression, "Whatever it is, please speak directly, Senior Brother Tu."

Tu Hu pointed at the corpses of the Antlered Silver Lions on the ground, and said firmly, "We will take sixty percent of these Antlered Silver Lions’ antlers, leaving forty percent for you. What do you think?"

As soon as Tu Hu made this proposal, not only did several members of Huang Miao’s team show signs of outrage, but even the four members behind Tu Hu were also dissatisfied.

Huang Miao’s team was outraged because they had discovered the corpses of the Antlered Silver Lions first; by rights, they should belong to them. Yet, Tu Hu, the newcomer, had the audacity to demand sixty percent of the antlers, which was simply bullying and unreasonable.

As for the four members behind Tu Hu, their dissatisfaction stemmed from believing that their own team’s strength was more than enough to crush Huang Miao’s team. They could take all the antlers for themselves and felt no need to leave forty percent for the other side.

"Senior Brother Tu is too kind-hearted! If it were any other team, they would take all the antlers of the Antlered Silver Lions without saying anything! If the other side dared to resist, they would get a brutal beating!"

This was what Tu Hu’s teammates were thinking. However, Tu Hu had the absolute say among the five of them, and after he made his statement, no one dared to object.

In fact, Tu Hu wasn’t offering to leave forty percent of the Antlered Silver Lions’ antlers to Huang Miao’s team out of kindness, but rather, he always had a certain wariness of Fang Bai from Huang Miao’s team.

Tu Hu himself was an expert at concealing his strength, and from the first moment he saw Fang Bai, he felt that Fang Bai was enigmatic and impossible to see through, speculating that Fang Bai might have hidden part of his strength just as he had.

Though Tu Hu appeared rugged and straightforward, he was actually very meticulous. He would never act without full confidence in success.

Because he couldn’t gauge Fang Bai’s true strength, he harbored a sense of caution, not daring to openly confront Huang Miao’s team.

His proposal to take sixty percent of the Antlered Silver Lions’ antlers wasn’t really too excessive. If it were someone else, they might not have been so agreeable.

"Senior Brother Tu, is this what you wanted to discuss with me? Don’t you think you’re being too presumptuous?"

Huang Miao’s expression turned cold as she spoke.

Huang Miao was straightforward by nature, gentle on the outside but tough on the inside. Even though she knew her team might not be able to contend with Tu Hu’s team in terms of overall strength, she felt indignant towards Tu Hu’s request and was not inclined to compromise easily.

Tu Hu’s gaze swiftly swept over Fang Bai, seeing his arms crossed and his expression indifferent, as if he didn’t care at all about the situation at hand, which only made him feel more uncertain.

"Over the top? I don’t think so!"

By this point, Tu Hu had ridden the tiger and found it hard to dismount, so he had to maintain a tough posture and continued, "Junior Sister Huang is a smart person, I believe that after weighing your options, you’ll make the choice that best serves your own interests."

Without a second thought, Huang Miao directly shook her head and said, "No need to weigh, my choice is two words: refuse! We found the corpses of these Antlered Silver Lions first, they should rightfully belong to us, you have no share!"

Tu Hu’s face also grew cold as he said, "Senior Sister Huang, this world will always respect martial force, the fist is what speaks. If we start a fight and forcibly take them, do you think your team has the strength to stop us? I’m letting you take forty percent, that’s already very sincere!"

Huang Miao scoffed and said, "We don’t want your sincerity! Also, if you forcibly start a fight, we will surely retaliate with all our might, and even if we can’t hold you off, we won’t let you get your way easily! Moreover, you should have heard the saying, ’Kill a thousand enemies, harm yourself eight hundred,’ right?"

The fact that Huang Miao could say this last line meant she had a certain level of confidence.

She and Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu had spent a considerable amount of time in the Stone Forest studying several pillars engraved with Martial Arts Techniques, each with their own insights, and had all made significant progress in strength.

Huang Miao didn’t know how much Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu had improved in their Cultivation Level, but she herself was already at the threshold of another promotion.

With a breakthrough at this critical point, Huang Miao would possess a high rank Heaven Level Cultivation Level and could become a Core Disciple of the Bitao Martial Academy.

Although Huang Miao’s current strength was still not a match for Tu Hu, she believed that the four team members behind her could easily take down the four team members behind Tu Hu.

Therefore, once a conflict arose, as long as Huang Miao could hold off Tu Hu for a while, waiting for Fang Bai and the other three to deal with Tu Hu’s subordinates, they could join forces to confront Tu Hu.

In that case, it would be hard to say whose hands would ultimately claim the victory between the two teams.

Seeing Huang Miao’s resolute attitude and her preparedness to fight to the death, Tu Hu couldn’t help hesitating.

Their team had faced trials and tribulations along the way, and to date, their numbers had dwindled from ten to five, so it wasn’t an overstatement to say their losses were heavy.

However, these five team members were all survivors of numerous battles, with rich combat experience, extremely precious to Tu Hu, their captain, so naturally, he didn’t wish for a situation where they suffered heavy losses while killing a thousand enemies.

Besides, there was the unfathomable Fang Bai who Tu Hu couldn’t see through, making him even less willing to make a rash decision.

To fight or not to fight?

Tu Hu turned his gaze to the four team members behind him, seeking their opinions.

"Senior Brother Tu, since they refuse our toast only to drink a forfeit, why should we be courteous? Let’s fight them!"

"That’s right! Defeat them, and the corpses of these Antlered Silver Lions will all be ours!"

"We’ve already given them a chance, but they didn’t cherish it, who’s to blame?"

"Take all those Antlered Silver Lion horns they have hanging at their waists!"

The four team members behind Tu Hu were rubbing their hands together, faces filled with excitement, and they began to clamor loudly.
