Chapter 97

  After hearing the cold ridicule and hot satire of the wine guests at the table, several officers and soldiers were furious, stood up one after another, glared at the wine guest, and asked: "What do you mean by this?"

  "Are you saying that literally, can't you understand?" The wine guest didn't put the anger of the officers in his eyes at all. He held a wine cup in his hand and said leisurely with a calm mind.

  "You..." Several officers and soldiers were ridiculed by the wine guests, their faces red with anger. Two of them couldn't bear it anymore, walked towards the wine guest, gritting their teeth: "I think you're a spy sent into the city by the barbarian army, let's take you back first!" As they spoke, the two men approached the wine guest and reached out to grab his shoulders.

  With a sudden movement, the shoulders of the wine guest were caught by the two men. The two soldiers thought that this person dared to speak loudly in public and mock the soldiers, and he must have some extraordinary skills. Now it seems that he is nothing special. One of the soldiers sneered: "You little boy, you're looking for trouble yourself, don't blame us! Get up!" As he spoke, he pinched the wine guest's shoulder hard, trying to lift him up.

  He exerted a great deal of strength, but that wine guest sat in the chair as stable as Mount Tai, without moving a single thread.

  "Huh?" The soldier let out a low, astonished cry. He and his companion exchanged a glance, then both used all their strength to try and pull the other up. But no matter how hard they pulled, the other didn't budge. It felt as if they were not pulling a person, but rather trying to move a massive stone weighing thousands of catties.

  Seeing this, not to mention the other soldiers were shocked and stunned, even the two brothers, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, who were sitting on the side, secretly took a surprise. Obviously, this wine guest was not an ordinary commoner, but a profound spiritual martial artist. The two of them looked down on these officers and soldiers, but after all, they were their own people, and the other party's identity was indeed suspicious. The two brothers thought for a moment and made a move to get up and welcome him.

  Tang Yin took a step ahead and grabbed the arms of both men, saying in a low voice: "Let's wait and see for now." He was also curious about the identity of that wine guest, but before he figured out the situation, he wouldn't take action easily.

  Two officers and soldiers could not lift the wine guest, their anger grew even stronger, along with the rest of the officers and soldiers, they all drew out the knives under their ribs, several people stood in a semi-circular shape, surrounding the wine guest in the middle.

  "Are you going to come with us willingly, or do we have to take action to make you follow us?" One of the officers who seemed to be in charge gazed coldly at the back of the wine customer and said in a low voice, "But let me warn you, if we have to take action, it's not certain whether you'll still be able to keep your life."

  The wine guest put down his cup, suddenly burst out laughing, shaking his head while laughing, and said: "When facing the barbarian army, I have never seen you with such a majestic momentum, but when dealing with your own people, you are all arrogant and domineering. No wonder Pingyuan County has been invaded by the barbarian army many times, unable to do anything about it. I think you are simply the accomplices of the barbarian army!"

  These words made several officers and soldiers furious, but they made Tang Yin fall into deep thought.

  The leading officer roared, "What nonsense are you spouting?!" He turned his head and shouted, "Brothers, let's take him down together! Don't worry about life or death!" As he spoke, several officers rushed forward, six men with six knives, all hacking viciously at the wine customer, while also cutting off all his escape routes.

  They were ruthless and would not rest until they had chopped each other into pieces.

  If the wine guest was indeed a deeply cultivated spiritual practitioner, he could have released his spiritual armor and dissipated the six officers' killing moves. However, that wine guest did not release his spiritual armor, watching with wide eyes as the six knives chopped towards him, neither blocking nor dodging.

  The scene caused the tavern owner and the waiter to exclaim in surprise, lowering their heads and not daring to look again. Tang Yin and the Shangguan brothers also furrowed their brows secretly.

  Haha! Just as they were about to cut down their opponents, the six officers' eyes widened with excitement, gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.

  Dong, dong, dong!

  Everyone thought that the wine guest would be chopped into several segments, but at the last moment, a magical scene occurred. The body of the wine guest suddenly disappeared out of thin air. The six sabers of the six officers did not hit their opponent, but instead all struck the wooden chair where the wine guest was sitting, producing a series of dull thuds.

  "Huh?"

  The six officers and soldiers could hardly believe their eyes, how was it possible for someone to disappear out of thin air? Was the other side using some kind of sorcery? Just as the six stood there in shock, they suddenly heard a cold laugh behind them, saying: "You should be very lucky, not worthy of being my opponent, otherwise, you would have been six corpses by now!"

  "Ah!" The six officers and soldiers, hearing the sound, were both startled and frightened, and they all turned their heads to look back, only to see that the wine guest was standing quietly behind them, his clothes not disheveled in the slightest, with a bamboo hat still covering half of his face, as if he had been standing there all along.

  "You......you......" The six officers and soldiers had never seen such a scene before, their faces turned pale with fright, they didn't even think of pulling out the knives stuck in the wooden chairs, their instinctive reaction was to retreat continuously, looking at the wine guest's eyes as if they were looking at a monster that only knew how to eat people.

  Not only were the six officers and soldiers surprised, but also the two brothers of the Upper Official were equally astonished. They both cast their eyes towards Tang Yin at the same time.

  That wine guest would not have been a sorcerer, the moves he had made were all too familiar to the Upper Official brothers, that was the Dark System Spirit Martial Skill's Shadow Drift, they two and Tang Yin being enemies at the time, the latter having used it more than once.

  It turned out that this person was a dark system cultivator! Tang Yin's eyes involuntarily shot out a sharp light, it can be said that since he came to this world, it was the first time he encountered a dark system cultivator, and even at one point he thought he was the only one!

  "If I were to kill you, it would be as easy as turning my hand over." The wine guest gazed coldly at the six officers and soldiers, and said leisurely: "If you know what's good for you, you'd best disappear immediately. If you're not convinced, then go find a worthy opponent to come and fight me again!"

  The six officers and soldiers looked at each other, retreating even faster. Just before leaving the door, the leading officer pretended to be tough and said: "You little kid, wait for me if you dare! I'll be back!" After finishing his fierce words, he was the first to turn around and escape from the tavern, with the other five officers and soldiers following closely behind, fleeing in a hurry.

  "Haha!" Watching the six officers and soldiers fleeing in disarray, the wine guest burst out laughing with disdain all over his face.

  "Your skills are impressive!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Tang Yin's figure vanished from where he was sitting and reappeared behind the wine customer in an instant. The distance between them was so close that they were almost touching. "However, although your skills are good, you don't know how to hold back. With your abilities, what's the point of showing off in front of ordinary soldiers?"

  This time, the wine guest was surprised. Although the bamboo hat covered half of his face, he could see his expression clearly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. At the same time, the other three people at the same table also stood up in unison, their sharp eyes shooting towards Tang Yin behind the wine guest, and a black mist-like aura naturally emanated from them.

  Hehe, unexpectedly there are not just one but four dark spiritual cultivators! Tang Yin's eyes shone brightly and majestically, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a brilliant yet evil smile.

  The wine guest stood still for three seconds, without warning, suddenly raised his arm, and his elbow swung back with force.

  Tang Yin's greatest skill was close combat, and the sudden attack by the wine guest not only didn't make him panic, but instead made him excited from the bottom of his heart.

  He slightly shifted his body to the side, avoiding the opponent's sharp edge, and at the same time, he shot out his hand like lightning, with his right hand grasping the opponent's elbow and the other hand pressing against the opponent's lower back. Then, his right hand pulled backwards with force, and with a loud "whooshing" sound, the wine guest's body flipped over his head, crashing violently into the wall behind him.

  It's a very simple move, but it incorporates the skills of catching and throwing, concise, swift and practical.

  The wine guest didn't expect that the rich young master Tang Yin would be so fierce, and he let out a cry of surprise in mid-air. Just as he was about to crash into the wall, he once again used his Shadow Drift technique, disappearing from sight and suddenly reappearing at Tang Yin's side, striking him with both fists in the soft ribs.

  He didn't move with his weapon, nor did he cast the Spirit Armor Technique. However, relying on his spiritual energy cultivation, if Tang Yin was really hit by his double fists, the taste would definitely not be good.

  It seemed that he had anticipated the opponent's move, and when the wine guest appeared on his side, Tang Yin was not surprised at all. He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the wine guest's double fists, and at the same time, he made a swift sweeping kick with his leg.

  The drunkard dodged too late and his ankle was kicked squarely, unable to stand firm, he fell to the ground with a thud.

  Seeing this, the three men who were sitting at the same table as the wine guest appeared in front of Tang Yin one after another, protecting the fallen wine guest. At the same time, the black misty aura emanating from their bodies solidified into a substantial, ink-black armor. Six eyes gleamed with deep, mysterious light, staring fixedly at Tang Yin.

  The opponent's companion came on stage, fearing that Tang Yin would lose, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, the two brothers, simultaneously released their spiritual armor, one on the left and one on the right, protecting Tang Yin.

  As the fierce battle between the two sides was about to break out, and both were spiritual cultivators, fearing they would be implicated, the other patrons in the tavern, including the owner and the waiters, all ran out.

  "Up!"

  One of the three wine guests let out a low growl, his body leaning forward as if he was about to pounce on Tang Yin. At this moment, the wine guest who had been knocked to the ground stood up and shouted: "Wait!"

  At the sound of his voice, three wine guests hurriedly stabilized their figures.

  That person separated from his companions and walked up to Tang Yin's side, sizing him up before asking: "May I ask, who are you?"

  He was sizing up Tang Yin, who was also sizing him up. It wasn't until his bamboo hat fell off that Tang Yin got a clear look at his face. The man was nearly thirty years old, with a strong and handsome appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth. Perhaps due to his cultivation of the Dark Soul Spirit Fist, his skin was exceptionally pale.

  After looking at him, Tang Yin smiled and said: "I am Tang Yin!"

  "What? You... are Tang Yin!" The man's surprise was naturally revealed, and his three companions also shook their bodies when they heard the name Tang Yin.
