The Great Tang's Prince of Equal Rank!

“Who goes there? State your name! I never kill nameless nobodies!”

Cheng Huailiang rode his yellow-maned horse out from the ranks and declared without hesitation, “Black-Eyed Monster, listen up! I am Cheng Huailiang, a personal guard to His Majesty, the Emperor of Great Tang, and Deputy Chief of the Six Fan Gate.”

A hearty burst of laughter rang out!

“Ha, ha, ha!”

“I was wondering who it was. Turns out you're only a deputy!”

At that moment, someone reminded him, “Second Brother, he's the deputy chief.”

“Get lost, you little bastard! I know that. Why are you piping up?”

“It's basically the same thing!”

“Well, Cheng, this is where you'll meet your end today.” As he spoke, the Black Monster charged at Cheng Huailiang.

He raised his massive axe and brought it down toward Cheng Huailiang's head. Huailiang easily dodged the first blow.

Seeing that his first strike had missed, the Black Monster switched to a spinning horizontal slash, turning his whole body as he went. When he reached Cheng Huailiang, he swung the axe hard at Huailiang's waist.

Cheng Huailiang held the scabbard in his left hand and gripped the hilt tightly in his right, poised to draw the treasured sword at any moment!

Cheng Huailiang watched his opponent charge in. He stamped hard with his right foot, used the momentum to leap over the Black Monster, and landed a stomp on the crown of his head.
