Chapter 79: The Trio

  "Fierce Tiger Seal! Violent Break!" Tang Yan's battle intent surged to the sky, unavoidable and unrelenting, ferociously launching a fierce attack. The Fierce Tiger Seal furiously charged forward, followed by fifteen groups of cyan flames that suddenly condensed, indiscriminately slaughtering everything in their path.

  "What a pity, wrong direction!!" A cold voice suddenly appeared on the side, and the silver moonlight in front of the old woman suddenly gathered into a curved moon knife, with a sharp sound like a sword being unsheathed, instantly slashing towards Tang Yan.

  "ROAR!!" A deafening roar pierced through the air, shattering rocks and gold. The black girl's delicate body burst forth with a dragon-like fury, like a bolt of lightning, instantly colliding with the slashing crescent moon blade.

  The blade was submerged in the black girl, but in the blink of an eye, a sharp black lightning burst and flipped, violently shattering the blade. The black girl's flesh was blurred, her appearance was unbearable, yet she pounced out like a fierce wolf, her sharp fangs tearing towards the old woman who was close at hand.

  "Huh?" The old woman's face changed color and she quickly dodged. What kind of monster was this? It could actually withstand her curved moon blade!

  "Hei Niang, good job!!" Tang Yan let out a fierce cry and rose up, holding his knife in one hand. The flames struck three times in succession, aiming straight for the old woman's head. At the same time, his right eye burst forth with an evil vortex, unleashing the Devouring Eye that had accumulated the resentment of hundreds of evil spirits.

  The old woman dodged Hei Niang's pounce and sidestepped Tang Yan's heavy blow, but ultimately could not avoid the eyes of destruction.

  At this moment, a blow, the full force of the second-order Wuzong's explosion, ruthlessly pierced through the old woman's throat, and the evil aura was like a black fog swirling and corroding at her throat!!

  The old woman let out a strange and mournful cry, then turned and fled in disarray.

  "Go to hell!!" Tang Yan and Du Yang roared in unison, the Tiger Seal and Petrification Light all struck out, Black Qi's transformed into a bolt of lightning, rolling and crashing towards Lao Nu's body. Although it looked young, its impact was quite terrifying, the half-year training in the dense forest made its growth equally enormous.

  Rumbling! The house collapsed, dust and debris scattered everywhere. The old woman burst through the earthen wall and entered the neighboring household, causing the people inside to be shocked and flee in panic.

  The old woman was, after all, a third-grade martial ancestor and hadn't fallen just yet. As the dust settled, she walked out slowly, the evil aura in her throat weakening, the black lightning dispersing, even the petrified parts of her body slowly dissolving, her bloodshot eyes flashing with a gloomy chill.

  "Go!" Tang Yan didn't hesitate at all, and quickly picked up Hei Tuan who was having trouble supporting herself and retreated swiftly.

  "What about the person?" Feeling the intense battle here, the remaining Wu Zong chased after one another, but only saw the disheveled old woman. Tang Yan and Du Yang had already disappeared without a trace.

  "They can't escape!" The old woman gritted her teeth.

  "There, stop him!!" The three-stage martial artist Bai Mian Shu Sheng, standing at a high place, caught sight of the fleeing figure at the street corner ahead and let out a loud whistle. In an instant, the other three major martial artists surrounded him, swift as lightning.

  Whoosh! Four figures appeared out of nowhere, blocking the surroundings. The old woman followed closely behind, and their intense auras almost sealed off the entire area.

  "Du Yang, follow me and kill our way through!!" Tang Yan let out a loud, angry roar. A burst of golden light flashed, his battle intent surged to the heavens, with one knife in hand, he swept out in a horizontal arc. Dazzling golden light enveloped him, surging blue flames spread out, exploding forth with an intense aura.

  "Follow to the end!! Death oscillation!" Du Yang let out a loud, maniacal laugh, closely following Tang Yan's footsteps. Over ten fierce stone pillars surrounded his body, like raging giant pythons, wildly impacting everything.

  Tang Yan in front, murderous intent surging, Du Yang behind, bursting with wild abandon.

  Two young juniors showed crazy and ruthless behavior that was inconsistent with their age.

  "Boom!!" The white-robed scholar spun around, and a silver long spear suddenly appeared, transforming into a vast expanse of glittering starlight. It then converged into a dazzling spear light, instantly striking Tang Yan's brow.

  "Inferno Triple Strike!!" Tang Yan sprinted forward, his blue flames focusing on the ancient war sword. A majestic and heroic battle intent accompanied the fierce flames as they chopped down, accurately hitting the gun's muzzle.

  However... a deafening roar shook the main road, the ancient war knife transmitted a rapid tremor, Tang Yan was struck by lightning, scarlet blood spurted out of his mouth, he retreated more than ten steps, and crashed into the rolling stone forest area.

  The remaining three martial arts masters simultaneously launched their attacks, with Han Bing's icy sword, Tu Lang's earthy waves, and Dao Meng's knife-like aura all converging on the stone forest. They didn't engage in close combat, instead each displaying their unique martial skills, intent on destroying these stone forests that shone with a petrifying glow.

  The earth was convulsed, and the stone forest was submerged; rapid congelation had petrified them. The icy storm raged with intense ferocity, and in the moment when the stone forest stood still, it was thoroughly sealed in ice. Thousands of sharp blades pierced through, and the sound of clashing echoed everywhere, as the ice shattered and the stone forest collapsed.

  The full-force explosion of San Da Er Jie Wu Zong suppressed Du Yang, who had just entered Wu Zong.

  Defeat is inevitable!!

  Du Yang's face turned pale, with blood and water seeping out of his seven orifices. His long hair was disheveled, making him look like a ghost. However... at this moment, he still had no regrets, swallowing the Spiritual Origin Liquid in big gulps, flying out, and once again condensing into the Stone Forest.

  A surge of wild passion is churning in his chest!

  "Haha!! A bunch of cowards, that's all! Today is the best day to kill our brothers, otherwise, on another day, I will annihilate the entire Spirit King Palace!" Tang Yan was covered in blood, letting out a loud and crazy laugh, with his body radiating a brilliant aura that swirled and churned like burning golden flames. A golden elephant image formed around him, and he let out an earth-shaking roar.

  Tang Yan went on a frenzied charge, unleashing the "Mystifying Soul" and "Fierce Tiger" seals. As the White-Clothed Bookworm raised his silver spear once more, the Light of Annihilation struck first.

  Clang!! The silver mang and the light of extinction collided in mid-air, emitting a terrifying energy wave that instantly destroyed the surrounding houses and walls, and also sent Tang Yan flying out.

  They have rushed into the main city, a large number of civilians fled in terror, onlookers hid to observe, and even more mercenaries and strong men rushed to the rooftop, looking out at this place.

  "You are excellent, but destined to be unlucky today!" The white-faced scholar appeared in front of Tang Yan, his long spear shaking, sweeping out horizontally, and taking aim at Tang Yan's forehead, this time with all his might.

  Du Yang and Hei Niang tried to rescue, but the rest of Wu Zong were intercepted.

  "Who dares to kill him? Ice Butterfly Explodes!" A sharp, shrill cry echoed from afar, the figure had yet to arrive, but a dazzling blue ice hail rolled in, formed by hundreds of ice butterflies gathering together, instantly enveloping the entire area.

  Rumble rumble!! Intensive explosions erupted, continuously superimposing each other, forming a terrifying destructive storm. The white-faced scholar dodged quickly, while the other three people were unable to dodge in time and suffered varying degrees of impact. The frost that stuck to their bodies condensed on its own, as if it was going to freeze them solid.

  "Ai Lin Da, Master! You've come..." Tang Yan was overjoyed and just about to shout when Ai Lin Da suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

  "What's wrong with you?" Tang Yan hastily helped Ailinda up, her face as pale as paper, her abdominal cavity a blur of blood and flesh, the sharp lightning bolts faintly visible, destroying her body.

  "How could Eriinda have escaped?" The instructors of the Giant Elephant Academy at the top of the distant high-rise building looked grave, and the ones in charge of handling her were Rachel and Liu Weihua. These two instructors were powerful and ruthless, how could they let Eriinda escape so easily?

  "Her aura... Second Stage? Third Stage?" The Martial King of the Academy, Wei Chang Lao's expression was solemn as he carefully sensed the fluctuations in Eriinda's aura. This didn't seem like a Second Stage Martial Ancestor at all, but rather more like a Third Stage!

  "What have they been through in the past six months?" Tang Ming Jing also felt Ailinda's change, his face slowly becoming strange. How did these three people's strength increase so rapidly! It's simply illogical!

  As Giant Elephant City fell into chaos, the gate guards who received the order began to close the city gates, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

  This sudden and unexpected situation caused dissatisfaction among people inside and outside the city gate, who were clamoring for an explanation.

  "Open the door!! I'm in a hurry to complete my task outside the city! You're delaying my chance to make money, can you afford to compensate me?"

  "What right does he have to close the door? Why wasn't there any notice beforehand?"

  "My father is ill and must go into town for treatment immediately! If anything happens to him, I swear to destroy this broken giant elephant city!"

  "Why is it closed? When will it open?"

  ………………

  The crowd was in an uproar, with people questioning him left and right. Amidst the noisy crowd, Ren Tian Cang was like a stranger who had wandered into their midst, his face expressionless as he made his way to the edge of the empty space, looking up at the magnificent city gate.

  He gazed longingly for a while, preparing to leave, but at this moment the paper man behind him trembled slightly, conveying a special emotion to him.

  "Alas, why did it close?" Not far away, an old man who was smoking a water pipe sighed faintly and sat down in the corner, tapping his pipe on the ground, staring blankly.

  Ren Tian Cang turned his head to look at the old man, but the old man didn't notice him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was muttering something to himself.

  The city gate is getting more and more chaotic, the guards can't give a reasonable explanation, the hot-tempered mercenaries are the first to stir up trouble, directly escalating into conflict, even ordinary civilians are involved.

  Ren Tian Cang stared at the old man for a very long time. The emotions transmitted from the paper figure behind him gradually became clear - danger!

  "Alas, the world is in chaos, it's hard to find a quiet place to live, even this giant elephant city is noisy. In the future... where should I go to spend my old age..." The old man stuffed some fresh dry grass leaves into his pipe and started puffing away with a "ba-da-ba" sound.

  Ren Tian Cang didn't continue to pay attention to the old man, turned around and left the city gate. He was just passing by and planned to stay for a night before leaving. Since the city gate was closed, he could go to other towns. But after walking not far away, the old man sighed again: "Poor kid, shouldn't be bullied."

  Ren Tian Cang stopped in his tracks, looking at the old man and then at the thick city walls. A hint of doubt emerged from the bottom of his heart - could he see through the city walls?
