Chapter Twenty-Four

  Tang Yin was no match for Yuan Kui even if he hadn't been injured, let alone now that he had a deep stab wound under his ribs.

  Yuan Kui was about to exert his spiritual pressure again, Tang Yin didn't have time to think carefully, and with a forceful swing of his arm, he flung the steel sword in his hand.

  Wow!

  Yuan Kuai shook his silver spear, effortlessly knocking away the steel sword thrown by Tang Yin. The smile on his face deepened. Without a weapon, Tang Yin would only die faster.

  But this time he was wrong. After throwing out the steel sword, Tang Yin rose up in his body shape, but he didn't rush towards Yuan Kui, instead he plunged into the surrounding Ning soldiers.

  He saw him open his palms, and black flames burning in the center of his palms. After entering the crowd, he simultaneously stretched out both hands, each grasping the necks of two Ning soldiers.

  Those two soldiers hadn't even let out a cry of surprise when the black flame in Tang Yin's hand had already engulfed their entire bodies. With a crackling sound, only their helmets and weapons fell to the ground, while the two soldiers themselves didn't even leave behind a single hair, vanishing without a trace.

  This is just the beginning. After incinerating two soldiers with dark fire, Tang Yin didn't stop at all and immediately rushed towards others...

  The burning flesh turned into wisps of black smoke, floating in the air, as if it had a life of its own, surrounding Tang Yin and finally entering his body.

  As the spiritual energy continued to be absorbed into his body, the bleeding from Tang Yin's rib wound gradually stopped and began to heal rapidly. This was the wonderful effect of the Dark Spiritual Energy.

  Several of Ning's subordinates looked at him with a changed expression, and they all exclaimed in unison: "The Dark Cultivator!"

  Yuan Kui's face turned ugly, and he suddenly shouted loudly, picking up his gun to chase after Tang Yin. His speed was extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived behind Tang Yin, his gun transforming into a silver line, stabbing straight at Tang Yin's back.

  He knew that his opponent's skills were profound, and he was no match for him. Tang Yin didn't even exchange blows with Yuan Kui, feeling the silver spear thrusting towards him, he didn't even try to block it, and instead dodged sideways and slipped away, heading straight into the area where the Ning troops were concentrated.

  Tang Yin's body method was strange and unusual, like a mudskipper among people. Yuan Kui continuously stabbed several times, but couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. All he saw was their own soldiers being burned to smoke by the enemy's dark fire from time to time.

  At this time, Yuan Kui also moved with true anger, he looked up at the sky and roared, the silver spear in his hand suddenly burst out with ten thousand rays of light, then the spearhead transformed into countless steel needles, sweeping towards Tang Yin's body.

  Soul Chaser Dagger!

  Tang Yin recognized the killing move made by Yuan Kui, and without thinking, he quickly grabbed a nearby Ning soldier with his arm and threw him at Yuan Kui.

  Plop, plop, plop!

  Poor Ning Bing hadn't even figured out what was happening before his body had been pierced by Yuan Kui's Soul Chasing Stab, turning him into a sieve. When his corpse crashed to the ground, it was nothing but a blurry mass of flesh and blood, impossible to discern any human shape.

  Although Ning Bing was used as a shield, Tang Yin behind him was not spared either. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and threw out Ning Bing before rolling out to avoid the fatal blow, but his left arm was still injured, with more than ten blood holes pierced through it.

  The wounded Tang Yin escaped even faster, and the Dark Fire was used more frequently. From time to time, Ning soldiers screamed and disappeared under the burning flames, being "eaten" clean by him.

  At this scene, Yuan Kui's eyes spewed fire, his anger almost choking him to death. He continuously unleashed various spiritual martial skills, but Tang Yin's movements were too agile and too strange, fluttering about unpredictably among the crowd. Not only did Yuan Kui's killing moves fail to harm him, they instead mistakenly killed many Ning soldiers.

  At this moment, many Ning soldiers have become Tang Yin's human shields, making it difficult for Yuan Kui to move freely.

  "What's going on?"

  As the voice faded away, a young man dressed in silver robes and wearing a black long crown walked out of the military tent. Around him were not only silver armored guards but also attendants dressed in resplendent attire.

  Seeing him, all the Ning generals were shocked and rushed forward to surround him tightly. One of the higher-ranking Ning generals said solemnly: "Your Highness, it's dangerous outside, please return to your tent first."

  The young man raised his foot, stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the fierce battle. Then his gaze fell on General Ning's face, with a tone of dissatisfaction, he said: "I heard that there was only one attacker, why hasn't it been resolved until now?"

  That Ning slightly pouted, and softly replied: "Your Highness, General Yuan has already taken the field to confront the enemy. I believe it won't take long before we can subdue them. Your Highness should please return to your tent first!"

  For this young man, Ning will not dare to be the slightest careless. If he really has a good or bad fate, the heads of the generals in the pass may have to move house.

  "Haha!" The young man burst out laughing, ignoring Ning Jiang's advice. He shook his head and said, "Our side has a multitude of brave generals, while the other side is just a petty thief. What's there to fear?" As he spoke, he gave Ning Jiang a white-eyed stare, pushed him aside with one hand, and chose a high vantage point to observe the battle situation on Tang Yin's side.

  This young man was none other than Ning Wang's third heir, Prince Yu Shang.

  He had just heard that the pass was ambushed by the enemy, and he immediately hid in his military tent. Later, he heard a loud shout outside, and he was so frightened that he trembled with fear. Not long after, he heard his attendants report back, saying that there was only one enemy outside the tent, and his heart finally fell, and his courage grew, having the leisure to go out and observe the battle.

  Yu Shangxing was enthusiastically watching the battle, Tang Yin thought it would be hard not to notice him, after all, there were many Ning soldiers and generals gathered around him, looking far away, a large group of people pressed together, and Yu Shang, who was standing in a high place, was particularly eye-catching, among the troops, only he wore brocade robes.

  No need to think carefully, Tang Yin could also judge that this young man must be the main general of the enemy army. Since he came out and showed his head, how could he give up this great opportunity?

  Tang Yin took a deep breath and rushed towards Yu Shang's location.

  Yuan Kui was experienced and astute, and by just looking at Tang Yin's actions, he immediately guessed his intentions. If the Third Prince were to suffer even a slight loss under Tang Yin's hands, then Yuan Kui himself would be unable to escape blame!

  He let out a low growl, releasing his spiritual energy, and the silver spear in his hand turned blood red, its body growing much longer. After completing the 'Spiritualization of Arms', he chased after Tang Yin with swift steps. In this critical moment, he didn't care if he killed anyone by mistake, as long as he could take down Tang Yin with his spear and ensure Yu Shang's safety, no matter how many people died.

  Tang Yin was fast, but Yuan Kui was even faster. In a few swift steps, he had already caught up to Tang Yin's back. He raised the spear in his hand high above his head, aimed at Tang Yin's back, and with a loud shout, brought it down heavily.

  Whoosh——the long spear tore through the air, emitting a deafening and soul-stirring muffled sound.

  The force of the opponent's blow was so great that Tang Yin could judge it just by listening to the sound. He gritted his teeth, snatched a war halberd in a flash, held it high above his head, and turned around to meet the attack head-on.

  Bang! Crash!

  The spear that had transformed into a long gun heavily smashed onto the war halberd, first was a piercing golden sound, followed by the sound of the weapon shattering. Tang Yin's war halber in his hand snapped loudly and folded, under the impact of its force, his entire body seemed like a kite with a broken string, flying backward.

  Plop!

  Yuan Kui's full-force blow was too powerful, and even the surrounding soldiers were forced to retreat in succession due to the air pressure. Tang Yin, who was at the forefront, fared even worse. He crashed into more than a dozen Ning troops in mid-air, flying over eight meters before finally falling to the ground. Even after landing, his body didn't stabilize, and he rolled backward for several more meters.

  He collapsed to the ground, feeling only a suffocating sensation in his chest, a sweetness in his throat and eyes, followed by a mouthful of blood shooting out.

  He didn't have time to recover, and the Ning soldiers swarmed in from all sides, countless long spears and halberds stabbing fiercely at him.

  Tang Yin's eyes bulged, his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, he stored up his strength and suddenly sprang up from the ground, his body like lightning, shooting out from the gap in the opponent's attack, rushing straight towards Yu Shang not far away.

  His hard hit on Yuan Kui was not in vain, the latter was severely injured, but also greatly shortened the distance between Tang Yin and Yu Shang.

  "Ah?" Seeing Tang Yin rush out of the crowd like a ghost, heading straight for Yu Shang, all the Ning soldiers and generals couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

  Yu Shang's surrounding Ning Jiang and the guards subconsciously stepped forward, blocking Yu Shang behind them. Then, each holding their weapons, they struck Tang Yan with a ruthless hand.

  They are all masters of spiritual martial arts, with profound cultivation. Any one of them is not inferior to Tang Yin. Joining forces and launching a surprise attack, the momentum is astonishing!

  Tang Yin still held the halberd in his hand, barely parrying the two knives that came at him head-on. However, he couldn't dodge the long spears stabbing from both sides. With a thud, two spears pierced his ribs. Fortunately, Tang Yin was prepared and narrowly avoided the fatal blow, but even so, the two spears were enough to make him suffer.

  "Where can you escape now? Your time is up!" Yuan Kui shouted, raising his long spear again and slashing Tang Yin with a slanting shoulder.

  After spiritualization, the silver gun's tip became thicker and longer, with sharp edges on both sides like a knife. With Yuan Kui's profound cultivation, if he were to be split in two, even if he was wearing the Spirit Armor, he would not be able to withstand it. Not to mention that Tang Ye is currently unable to complete the 'Spirit Armor Transformation'.

  Yuan Kui came from behind with a mighty force, while Ning Jiang and Wang Ting's guards in front of Tang Yin were also not idle. Knives, swords, axes, spears, guns, and halberds, all kinds of weapons whizzed by, weaving a giant net of cold light in the air that enveloped Tang Yin within it.

  Now, Tang Yin can be said to be in a desperate situation, with every blow from the enemy being a fatal one. What's more, the two guns that pierced his left and right sides were like iron pliers, holding him firmly in place, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

  Hiding is no use, blocking is also useless, what can be done?

  Tang Yin watched intently as Yu Shang hid behind the crowd, just a foot away from him. If he took just one more step forward, even half a meter, he could have subdued his opponent. But missing by a hair's breadth and differing by a thousand miles, this distance of less than a meter isolated Tang Yin, trapping him in an irretrievable desperate situation.
