Liu Baqiao glowed with exuberance when he saw Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao, and his first comment to the latter was, "Young lady, when you grow older, you definitely won't be any less beautiful than Celestial Maiden Su."

This was perhaps the ultimate praise that a woman could receive from Liu Baqiao.

Ning Yao's expression naturally grew dark. However, before she could even say anything, Liu Baqiao — who could speak the dialect of the small town — had already turned around and raised a thumb at Chen Ping'an. The eyes of this prodigious swordsman were clear as he praised, "Your physique is merely that of a mortal, yet you actually dared to challenge that ape from Sun Scorch Mountain! More importantly, you actually managed to survive! This is an absolute miracle!"

Liu Baqiao was truly curious. Just how did this skinny young boy possess such astonishing and explosive power?

Liu Baqiao retracted his thumb and slowed down a little, not walking side-by-side with Chen Dui and Chen Songfeng anymore. Instead, he chose to walk next to Chen Ping'an. He turned around and said with a smile, "Even though Sun Scorch Mountain is only a measly hill that houses some cowards who don't live up to their reputation, that old ape has indeed built up his reputation using his fists and strength. This was especially the case after the founding sect leader of Sun Scorch Mountain passed away. In the 200 years prior to when Sun Scorch Mountain opened its third mountain, it was essentially that old ape alone who guarded the entire Sun Scorch Mountain. It was because of him that Sun Scorch Mountain wasn't gobbled up by the nearby forces.

If they had offended our Wind Lightning Field at that time... Heh, their fate would have been sealed. With a single command from the elder, I would be granted a sword tablet. I would then fly above Sun Scorch Mountain myself and lightly drop our Lightning Field Sword Formation....
