Chapter 81: Sister's Sacrifice
"Let's go, we should leave!!" Du Yang suppressed the sadness in his heart and quietly reminded Tang Yan that they must make good use of the opportunity created by Ailinda and rush out before the Ling Wang Fu reacts.
Tang Yan stood still on the spot, his eyes fixed woodenly on the half-empty cold ice mist that was dissipating in mid-air.
"Go!! Don't be impulsive!" Du Yang grabbed Tang Yan's shoulder and reminded him calmly.
"I'm not impulsive, I'll do what I should do." Tang Yan shook off Du Yang's hand and walked step by step towards the battlefield shrouded in frost, his voice very calm, calm to the point of making people's hearts tremble, his eyes blurry, but with an unprecedented determination!
Dead? Just like that, dead?! I wasn't prepared, who allowed you to die?! Tang Yan had always been indifferent, never having experienced affection, friendship, or the sorrow of life and death, but now... a heart-wrenching pain was spreading from the bottom of his heart.
Always teasing, always provoking, all memories of Aileen are her icy elegance in persistence.
They were just partners, just a duo, but who would have thought that in the moment when they abandoned themselves throughout the entire Giant Elephant City, she would shock everyone in such a tragic way and create an opportunity for herself to survive.
Is it moving? Or bitter? Or... heartbreaking...
"Tang Yan!" Du Yang bellowed, his face stern and gloomy: "The Tang Yan I know is one who laughs and scolds yet remains calm and composed. When it's time to cut ties, he cuts them; when it's time to let go, he lets go. He may seem like a rascal, but he's never controlled by emotions. You must leave, or else you'll be betraying Elinda's sacrifices!"
"Du Yang, sister is gone, I need to prepare some offerings for my sister, you help me... watch the back..." Tang Yan's face was pale and his eyes were filled with bloodshot.
Taking slow steps forward, each step firm and resolute, the blood-colored mist in the dantian began to condense, transforming into a strange, blood-like substance. A powerful suction force burst forth, spreading throughout every part of the body.
His skin began to wither, his flesh weakened, and his blood thickened. Even his spiritual energy slowed down. As Tang Yan took slow steps forward, this situation became more intense. The once robust and spirited young man was step by step walking towards a withered and late autumn.
"Tan Yan!! Stop right there!" Du Yang's face changed drastically, he let out a loud roar and rushed over, raising his fist to punch Tan Yan unconscious.
This is the Body Destruction Technique, that evil to the extreme martial art! In the beginning in the Mystic Forest, Tang Yan was because of practicing this thing going crazy, at that time's scene deeply engraved in Du Yang's mind, Tang Yan paid a heavy price for it.
Du Yang couldn't imagine what kind of evil martial arts Tang Yan would unleash when he lost his rationality, and what a terrible price he would pay.
But before he could get close, the blood energy gathered in Tang Yan's dantian suddenly burst open, like a raging wave surging out, filling Tang Yan's entire body. His body was withered and thin, but the spiritual power in his meridians surged threefold in an instant!
Golden light surged, the atmosphere churned, and Du Yang was violently bounced back. A gigantic golden elephant let out a deafening roar, without making a sound, yet emitting powerful energy fluctuations. After the roar subsided, the golden elephant's image retracted completely, as if a golden armor had been stuck onto Tang Yan's entire body.
Tang Yan strode forward violently, as if a stream of light rushed towards the battlefield.
The old woman and others were struggling to melt the ice crystals covering their bodies, saw the golden light coming towards them, felt the crisis, but the frost was too hard, even if they consumed their spiritual power frantically, the frost remained hard.
Tang Yan appeared in front of the old woman, showing no mercy. The fierce tiger seal roared out, and the violent golden light shattered the frost, sweeping away the old woman inside, scattering a large amount of crimson blood.
"You little scoundrel, do you really think you can kill me?" The old crone was covered in blood, her eyes gleaming with a fierce light, her withered ghostly claws suddenly extending, reaching straight for Tang Yan's throat.
However...
"First!!" The icy voice seemed to come from hell, devoid of any emotion. Tang Yan left behind a bewildered afterimage as he brushed past him, his Flame Triple Strike slashing down in an instant.
Pffft! Thick, fresh blood shoots up into the air, a gruesome head flies out, and the old crone's wounded body twitches a few times before falling face-up in the pool of blood. The ghostly green flames quickly spread throughout her entire body, beginning their ruthless refinement.
"Second!!" Tang Yan appeared in front of a second-order Wu Zong, flipping through the air, his ancient war knife chopping down, surging with fierce flames, aiming straight for the person's head.
Ka!! Bang!! This person broke through the icy cold at a critical moment, and was about to make a sudden retreat when he didn't expect the black girl to rush over from behind, wildly colliding with his lower back, and a black lightning bolt burst out.
A shrill scream had not yet escaped when Tang Yan's ancient war knife struck, splitting the ghost in two from head to toe, and the dark green flames spread immediately.
"His aura... is off!!" The onlookers rushed over again, watching from a distance as the battlefield erupted once more. Tang Yan's current display was undoubtedly the biggest focal point, mixed with evil and icy killing intent that could be clearly felt even from thousands of meters away, while his frantic aura fluctuations had almost reached the peak of a second-tier Martial Ancestor!
What's going on? What kind of monsters are these?!
How is it possible for strength to surge instantly?
Looking at that golden light flashing figure, everyone felt a chill, his growth rate was too terrifying, so terrifying that everyone had a sense of dread. Perhaps what Eirinda said was right, give him ten years, who in the Northern Wilderness could rival him? Give him ten years, what kind of storm would the Great Zhou Empire stir up again? Perhaps, his horizon was not limited to the Great Zhou Empire!
Ka ka ka! Rachel, Liu Weihua, Bai Miansheng and a burly man with a knife successively broke through the ice, their faces pale, their bodies tattered, not one of them was breathing smoothly.
They all suffered grievous injuries in the explosion just now, and the consumption of spiritual power to eliminate the frost was even greater.
They felt a chillier killing intent on Tang Yan's body than frost, and they chose to retreat decisively.
"Third!!" Tang Yan charged towards the burly man with a knife, and three waves of fierce flames struck him head-on.
"Is that so? This third one is going to be delayed! Rabbit, you're being too arrogant!" The sturdy man's face turned savage, his eyes gleaming with ferocity as he halted in his tracks and swung down his wheel-shaped blade.
His figure was still, his air was majestic, one knife came out, and thunder rumbled.
Clang!! The green flame and the electric light collided, two massive forces surged and rolled, Tang Yan's wild attack was finally forcibly stopped, the strong man was severely injured after all, and was blown away by a head-on blast.
The scarred black woman sprang up at this moment, let out a shrill whistle, and pounced on the sky. A sharp and frantic black lightning bolt instantly split towards the person's throat.
Tang Yan left a trail of residual shadows on the spot, instantly catching up with the robust man. The dozen or so cyan fireballs swirling around his body, about the size of a face basin, seemed to rush past like a torrent.
"Little rascal, stop it!!" The white-clad scholar suddenly returned, and a burst of gunfire exploded out.
He can't just watch as Tang Yan kills all of their royal guards!
"First, get past me!!" A furious roar suddenly burst out from not far away, the ground rumbled and trembled, three thick waist-like stone pillars broke through the ice layer and shot out, the pillars rumbling and twisting, with a petrified glow covering their entire body.
At the critical moment, Du Yang comes back again!
"Huh?" The pale-faced scholar was shocked and forced to dodge, facing this strange martial skill, his heavily injured body didn't know if it could withstand it.
Pfft!! Tang Yan and Hei Tuan's combo hit the robust man at this moment, before he could let out a miserable cry, he was ruthlessly engulfed in an explosion of blue flames.
Cruel!! Mad!! Slaughter decisive!! The young masters and ladies of the aristocratic families in the distance turned pale, staring at the mad figure with a chill running through their hearts.
"Tang Yan, you bastard, do you want to drag me down with you? I've been ruined by you this lifetime!" Du Yang panted heavily, glaring at Tang Yan. Although he said so, he still came back and launched a fierce attack.
Tang Yan directly arranged: "Surround those two instructors!"
"Damn it!" Du Yang cursed and rushed towards Rachel and Liu Weihua who were fleeing.
"Fourth!" Tang Yan's scarlet gaze locked onto the white-faced scholar, a wicked aura swirling in his right eye rapidly condensed, like a poisonous tongue spitting out letters, emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation.
At the top of the high-rise building, Zhou Lingluo's face was gloomy as if she could squeeze out water. The continuous emergence of unexpected events was simply a challenge to her patience. What should have been a quick end to the battle had turned into this miserable situation. Wu Zong, who should have dominated everything, was being chased and killed by Tang Yan.
Can't just let Tang Yan kill his way out? Impossible!!
Zhou Lingluo wouldn't let things go on like this, but... the Martial Arts Academy only had book-smart white-faced scholars left, and it seemed they couldn't even kill Tang Yan. Besides him, who else could they rely on? The Yang or Li families? Or perhaps the Giant Elephant Academy? It was all probably unrealistic.
They just came to watch the show, and there was only one reason for them to take action - the Tang family took the lead.
After a long hesitation, Zhou Lingluo said: "Contact the five great martial kings, and have one of them kill Tang Yan. This time, it must be a fatal blow!"
"But what about the Tang family..."
"They dare to make a move, and Chang Tian Zhu will give them a show." Zhou Lingluo was eager for the Tang family to take action. As long as they dared to make a move, she would have an excuse to uproot them completely and destroy them thoroughly.
