Chapter Twenty-Five

  Clang! Clang! More than a dozen weapons struck Tang Yin's body, but all that could be heard was the sound of metal clashing, without any sound of flesh being cut or bones being crushed.

  Yuan Kui sucked in a breath of cool air, subconsciously retreating a step back, and when he looked again, Tang Yin, who was originally surrounded by everyone, had suddenly vanished into thin air.

  A big living person can't disappear out of thin air, unless... Two words suddenly flashed through Yuan Kui's mind - Shadow Kill!

  Oh no! He shivered with a chill, his eyes wide open, and shouted: "Protect the young master..."

  Unfortunately, it was too late for him to remind them again at this time.

  Just as Tang Yin was in a desperate situation, where his life was at stake, he used the special skill of the Dark System Spirit Martial Arts, Shadow Drift, also known as Shadow Kill.

  Shadow Drift can be considered one of the ultimate techniques of the Dark Spirit Martial Arts, allowing the user to make instantaneous movements within a certain range of shadows. The higher and deeper the spiritual energy is cultivated, the wider the range of instantaneous movement will be. When fighting against Yan Lie and Gu Zhen in the past, he had used this technique before.

  However, Shadow Shift is a mid-to-high level skill, and with Tang Ye's current spiritual energy cultivation, he cannot use it freely. But at the moment of life and death, apart from Shadow Shift, he had no other self-preserving moves. The reason he was able to use it was completely due to his body's strong desire for survival being stirred up.

  Although the Shadow Shift he used only moved him a meter away, it was enough.

  Yu Shang was still enthusiastically watching the commotion, surrounded by so many Lingwu masters protecting him, and he couldn't even dream that the other party would suddenly appear behind him.

  He hadn't figured out what was going on when he suddenly felt his throat constrict and his neck was tightly grasped by an icy hand.

  He instinctively let out a loud shout: "Who?" Then he turned his head back and met a pair of pitch-black, profound eyes.

  "You......" Yu Shang Jian was shocked and didn't dare believe his eyes. The other person had just been in front of him, so how did he suddenly flash to his back?

  "Don't move! Or I'll burn him to ashes!" Tang Yin was stuck to Yu Shang's back like a ghost, his face expressionless, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of coldness. One hand covered the wound under his ribs, and the other hand tightly gripped Yu Shang's neck, ready to incinerate him with dark fire at any moment.

  "Ah——"

  This sudden change led to a burst of screams, and the Ningguo soldiers were shocked and frightened, their faces turned pale with fear, and they involuntarily retreated in disarray.

  Few people understand the Dark System Spirit Martial Arts. In the arena, except for Yuan Kui, everyone else didn't understand how Tang Yin avoided their encirclement and suddenly rushed to the back of Wang Zidong.

  At this time, even Yuan Kui, who was so rich in experience, could no longer remain calm. He shouted loudly: "Don't hurt the princess!"

  Tang Yin didn't know Yu Shang's exact identity yet, but judging from the appearance of the people around him, it wasn't hard to guess that Yu Shang was a person of noble status.

  It seems that this risky move of "capturing the king first" was indeed correct, with this hostage, it should be no problem to break out of the enemy camp smoothly.

  He looked around and saw that the Ning army had gathered even more, with people packed tightly together, making it impossible to count them. It was a sea of people.

  Tang Yin made a brief assessment of the situation on the scene, and finally his eyes fell on Yuan Kui's face. He said coldly: "It's easy to keep your master alive."

  Yuan Kuai gritted his teeth and roared: "What conditions do you have, just mention them, but if you dare to harm my lord, I swear to make your body break into pieces!"

  He appears furious on the surface, but secretly releases his spiritual pressure, planning to trap Tang Yin once again.

  "Haha——" Tang Yin laughed maniacally, saying: "Your master is in my hands, you no longer have the qualifications to negotiate with me." As he spoke, he increased his grip and said in a stern voice: "Don't use spiritual pressure on me again. You may be able to suppress me with spiritual pressure, but I can also guarantee that your master will die in the dark flames at the first opportunity. Don't believe me? We can try it out!"

  As he increased the force in his hand, Yu Shang immediately found it hard to breathe, his eyes bulged out, his mouth wide open, and his pale face turned bright red, as if he was about to suffocate at any moment.

  Yu Shang's half-dead appearance scared Yuan Kui so much that he almost fainted. He hastily withdrew the released spiritual pressure and waved his hands at Tang Yin, saying: "Don't... don't be impulsive! What... what conditions do you have? Speak!"

  Tang Yin coldly shouted: "First, release all of my people." He had not forgotten the hundred or so brothers he brought with him.

  "Alright!" Yuan Kui nodded in agreement without hesitation and said: "What other conditions do you have? Continue."

  Tang Yin shook his head and said, "First, let's get the first thing I mentioned done."

  At this time he was alone, surrounded by strong enemies, and although he had the other party's leader as a hostage, without any help, it would be difficult to avoid accidents.

  Yuan Ke bowed his head in deep thought and did not immediately agree.

  Seeing him hesitate, Tang Yin's originally relaxed grip suddenly tightened again, and Yu Xiang, who had just caught his breath, was about to suffocate once more.

  "Wait!" Yuan Kui's body shook, and he said repeatedly: "I promise you!" As he spoke, he turned his head to call over a young general, gave him some low-voiced orders, and the man repeatedly responded with "yes" before quickly running off.

  Before long, the young commander went and came back, bringing with him more than a dozen bound prisoners like dumplings.

  Yuan Kui turned his head and said to Tang Yin: "All your people are here!"

  Tang Yin glanced over and said in a steady voice, "What about the others?"

  This time, before Yuan Kui could speak, someone among the dozen or so captives suddenly shouted: "Brother Tang, all the other brothers... are dead! Waaahhh!" As he spoke, that person burst into loud sobs.

  Tang Yin's heart was trembling, and in just a short while, more than 100 brothers had been reduced to only a dozen or so.

  No time for sorrow, the sadness in Tang Yin's eyes flashed by, he suppressed his fluctuating emotions and said to Yuan Kui: "Let them go, immediately!"

  The third prince fell into the hands of the other party, and Yuan Kui had no choice but to follow Tang Yin's words.

  He clenched his fists and nodded at his subordinates, meaning to follow Tang Yin's words.

  Yuan Ke gave the order, and which Ning soldiers and generals dared to disobey?

  They will be untied one by one and sent to Tang Yin's side.

  Tang Yin was cautiously sizing up the brothers who had come over, fearing that there might be spies from Ningguo among them, while also keeping a close eye on Yuan Kui and the other enemies.

  Fortunately, he had an exceptional memory and remembered the appearance of his subordinates clearly. He scanned the faces of the crowd and quickly confirmed that they were all his men.

  Before long, a dozen or so wind soldiers broke through the Ning army's encirclement and walked up to Tang Yin.

  At this time, seeing Tang Yin, everyone had a feeling of rebirth after death.

  "Brother Tang... Brother Tang!" The speaker was Zhang Bao, his body covered in wounds and bloodstains, unable to tell whose they were. He cautiously looked around at the numerous Ning soldiers and generals, then glanced at Yu Shang who had been subdued by Tang Yin, and asked in a low, trembling voice: "Who... who is this person?"

  Tang Yin didn't know Yu Shang's true identity either, he just grunted and said nothing, then said: "You all stand around me, don't let Ning people get close." As he spoke, he also ordered Yuan Kui: "Secondly, prepare thirty fast horses for me immediately!"

  They were only a dozen or so men and needed only a dozen horses.

  "What do you want so many horses for?" Yuan Kui asked in puzzlement.

  "Less nonsense!" Tang Yin shouted: "Do as I say, unless you want him to die!" As he spoke, he pushed the Yu Shang in front of him forward.

  Since he was born, Yuan Kui had never been controlled by anyone. The fire of anger in his chest was burning fiercely, and his eyes were red with rage, but he couldn't do anything to Tang Yin. He couldn't afford to act impulsively and put Yu Shang's life at risk.

  "Do as he says, prepare the horse!" Yuan Kui growled in a low voice.

  "Yes! General Yuan!"

  As the voice of response, the Ningbing soldiers quickly led out thirty war horses below, and were about to send them to Tang Yin's front, but Wang Ting's guards took a step ahead and took over the war horses, walking towards Tang Yin.

  They planned to take advantage of the opportunity to send horses to get close to Tang Yan, find an opportunity to suddenly make a move, whether or not they could hurt each other was secondary, the key was to rescue Wang Zidong first.

  Tang Yin was intelligent and naturally suspicious, how could he not see through their intentions.

  Before the other party could lead the horse closer, he hastily stopped them, saying: "Halt!" Then, to his subordinates beside him, he said: "You go and bring the horses over, and check at the same time to see if there's any problem, don't let the other side make a move."

  "I understand!"

  At this time, more than a dozen wind soldiers also saw that the young man in brocade clothes who was controlled by Tang Yin must be a very important person in the enemy camp, otherwise they would not have been so obedient to Tang Yin's words.

  Their courage grew gradually, and they slowly approached each other.

  Zhang Bao was the fastest, and he was the first to make contact with the enemy. He plucked up his courage and took the reins of the war horse from the Ningguo guard's hand. Seeing that although the other side had a stern expression and gritted their teeth, they did not dare to move against him in the slightest. His heart was greatly delighted, and he said step by step: "Youngster, give me your sword!"

  "You——"

  Wang Ting's personal bodyguards were all masters of the Lingwu, and in Ningguo they held high positions and were respected by people. When had he ever been called 'young master' before? And yet the other party was brazenly asking him to hand over his weapon, this was simply a humiliation to his face.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing the other party making a move to draw his knife, Zhang Bao was also startled and subconsciously took a step back, nervously saying: "Do you want to fight? Aren't you afraid he'll lose his head?" As he spoke, he pointed at Yu Shang.

  Before the guard could speak, Yu Shang had already shrieked in terror: "Don't move, no one can move! If you harm me to death, all of you will die too!"

  The guard was like a deflated balloon after hearing this and immediately wilted on the spot.

  He stamped his foot heavily and reluctantly handed over the dagger in his hand to Zhang Bao.

  The war knife of Ningguo Wangting's guards is narrow and long, similar to the Tang knife that was popular in China during the Tang Dynasty, but it requires high-quality steel for forging, which makes it expensive.

  The other party had no choice but to hand over their weapon, which made Zhang Bao even bolder. He took the guard's sword, drew out half of it and looked at it, laughing: "Not bad, this is a good sword, I'll help you keep it safe!"
