Chapter 82: Sudden Change

  Tang Yan's killing intent surged, his internal spiritual energy plunged into violent turmoil, overflowing and filling him to the brim, as if it was about to burst out of his body. Under this frenzied stimulation, the Extinction Eye churned out an evil cyclone that reached the extreme, with hundreds of vengeful spirits struggling and wailing within the cyclone.

  Evil, sinister!

  Feeling the lock of this aura, the white-faced scholar no longer blindly dodges, concentrates his spirit and stands with a spear. At this moment, internal injuries and external wounds are unbearable, but cannot stop that 'one gun to cut off the river' momentum.

  They faced each other, their breath colliding!

  "Sister's offering, the fourth one!" A hoarse whisper, Tang Yan's blood-red eyes were cruel and mad, the swirling vortex suddenly erupted, condensed into a silent beam of light, and burst out.

  "Gintama!" The white-faced bookworm's gun body shook, transforming into a sky full of sword shadows, yet in an instant it solidified, as if piercing through space.

  Clang!! Two sharp energies collided in mid-air, the sound of clashing metal piercing through gold and splitting stone. The entire space was distorted and chaotic, the dazzling light making it impossible to gaze directly at it.

  Gintama's Gunmaudo is sharp enough to shoot down all martial arts!

  But today... his injuries were too severe, and this powerful thrust was far from the perfect blow he had envisioned. The light of extinction shattered Silver Soul, piercing through the body of the pale scholar, and the intense impact sent him flying backward.

  "Go with the burial!" The cold voice rang in his ears, and the white-faced scholar's pupils suddenly contracted. How is this possible? It's too fast!

  Before it could react, Tang Yan's Flame Blade slashed through the air and split it in two on the spot.

  The last imperial guard... died miserably!

  Du Yang entangled Liu Weihua not far away, relying on the continuous replenishment of Lingyuan liquid, he transformed the entire area into a riotous stone forest, trapping Liu Weihua inside.

  The scene was chaotic, with chaotic commotion, swirling ice chips and dust flying everywhere, mixed with Du Yang's frantic screams and Liu Weihua's mournful wails.

  Rachel abandoned him at a critical moment and fled in disarray to a kilometer away.

  "The fifth one!" Tang Yan walked slowly towards the stone forest.

  "Hurry up!! I won't hold on anymore!!" Du Yang's body was also severely damaged due to excessive consumption of Lingyuan liquid, his meridians were about to shatter, but he still persisted, his face twisted in a fierce expression, his eyes crimson red, and with a loud roar, the rocky forest went into chaos, all the petrifying lights enveloped the center.

  Liu Weihua let out a desperate cry of despair, the Earth Path and Wood Path collided and exploded, going mad in their final moments.

  BOOM!!! A fierce explosion erupted in the central area, shattering the rocky forest and dispersing the petrifying light. Liu Weihua's desperate counterattack finally took effect, but... as the dust settled, Tang Yan's large knife was already pressed against his neck.

  Liu Weihua's mind was shaken: "Tang Yan, stop while you still can. You may be able to kill me, but you won't be able to escape the Great Zhou Empire's wanted list..."

  Hmph!

  An ancient war knife spun around, tearing open Liu Weihua's throat. Thick and intense blood stained the war knife and splattered all over Tang Yan's body.

  Ruthless! Brutal!

  Tang Yan's cold gaze swept across the room, and the young masters and misses of the aristocratic families in the distance all felt a chill run down their spines from the bottom of their hearts. He was just a child, how could he be so cruel? He was just a child, to what extent would his heart become twisted?

  Du Yang wiped away the blood from his mouth and stood up dazedly, saying hoarsely: "There's still a sixth one."

  "There!" Tangerine spotted Rachel on the wall a thousand meters away.

  "You think you can kill me? It's not that easy!" Rachel's face darkened, her right hand slowly extended, her index and middle fingers closed, the crystal dagger re-condensed!

  "Rachel, you're the last one!" Tang Yan's mouth curled up with a cruel arc, and he stepped forward, unstoppable!

  But at this moment, a vast and majestic aura suddenly enveloped everything.

  Bang! Tang Yan and Du Yang were caught off guard and fell heavily to their knees.

  "Is it Wu Wang?!" Many people in the distance on the high platform cried out in surprise, looking at the figure that had appeared out of thin air. It was Wu Wang! The Ling Wang Fu had sent out Wu Wang!

  "Ah!!" Tang Yan and Du Yang let out a loud roar, struggling frantically, but the heavy pressure poured into their bodies, forcing them to slowly lower their heads, bend their waists, and tremble with both hands supporting the ground.

  The black girl fell heavily to the ground, her body twisted into an almost grotesque shape, letting out a low wail.

  "Zhou Lingluo, you son of a bitch!!" Tang Yan and Du Yang shouted loudly, but the pressure on their bodies increased rapidly, and they soon couldn't hold on. They fell to the ground with a thud, as if a thousand-ton mountain had crashed down, almost crushing them into meat patties.

  "The Ling Wang Fu is not following the rules!!" Tang Ming Jing's face sank, his icy gaze shot straight at Zhou Ling Lu in the distance.

  The strong onlookers in the distance furrowed their brows, using the Martial King to deal with two juniors was indeed a bit excessive for the Ling Wang Fu.

  "Kill them!" Zhou Linglu didn't mind the gaze of the crowd, and gave the order to Wu Wang 'Hua Shu' in mid-air.

  "Zhou Lingluo, you dare!!!" Tang Mingjing finally erupted, his fierce aura bursting out. Although he was low-key, he was also a Martial King!!!

  "How dare you?" Zhou Linglu looked over coldly.

  "Big brother!!" Tang Ming Zhong quickly restrained Tang Ming Jing, shaking his head slowly: "For the family, you can't!"

  Tang Ming's inner struggle was intense, his face twisted in the gloom. After all the family members shook their heads one after another, he slowly closed his eyes, his hands clenched tightly, his fingernails digging into his flesh: "Yan'er, Father... I'm sorry to you..."

  "I'm really curious, you two have actually managed to survive until now. For the sake of two little brats, the Ling Wang Fu has mobilized such an array, and you're also unprecedented in history." Huashu stood suspended in mid-air, stretched out a hand to probe, and a cold misty claw descended from the sky, pressing down on the two with a terrifying crushing force.

  Tang Yan and Du Yang's struggles came to a halt, their entire bodies almost buried in the ground, their bones making crisp cracking sounds, while Hei Jun... couldn't even let out a moan...

  The difference between Wu Zong and Wu Wang is like heaven and earth!

  "Die!!"

  Hua Shu let out a cold snort, his sharp claws snapping shut with a loud crackle, and the entire area's frost suddenly burst open.

  Tang Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he ultimately didn't struggle anymore.

  Is it over? The onlookers fell silent, gazing at the battlefield where ice shards flew everywhere. Their eyes were filled with a complex, inexplicable emotion. A fifteen-year-old boy, a rebellious young master of a noble family, a talented youth who should have had a brilliant life, ultimately could not withstand the oppression of power.

  "Ming Zhong, help me take...take Yan's body back home..." Tang Ming Jing couldn't bear to look again, let out a long sigh, and turned to leave the rooftop.

  Tang Mingzhong signaled the guards to accompany his brother, and he jumped down from the high building alone, walking towards the icy area. Today's battle will surely shake the Northern Wilderness, and the Tang family will not only become a laughing stock for the world but also lose an astonishingly talented descendant.

  What is right and what is wrong?!

  Tang Mingzhong felt an inexplicable bitterness and hoped that things would end like this. But he hadn't walked a few steps when his footsteps suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed tightly on the place where the icy fog was swirling.

  That is...

  "Ah!!" A shrill, mournful cry suddenly rang out in mid-air, Uncle Hua clutched his head and let out a wail like an evil spirit, the ice crystals around him began to go into disarray.

  "What?" The dispersing crowd looked up at the sky in unison.

  "Look down!!" someone exclaimed, and following his reminder, everyone's gaze gathered on the ground. In that fragmented place, cold air was dissipating, ice crystals were falling, Tang Yan, Du Yang, and Hei Tuan were curled up on the ground, their bodies covered with ice crystals, blood dripping, but... they weren't dead! Their chests were still heaving!

  Above them, a pale paper man hung silently in mid-air, swaying gently in the breeze, his head thrown back to the sky.

  "That is..." Tang Mingzhong stared fixedly at the paper man, feeling a kind of inexplicable horror, his gaze suddenly shifted to the side, and fixed on the black-clad man who slowly walked out of the alley.

  "Who is that? What an evil aura!"

  "Why do I feel so anxious in my heart?"

  "Who is this person? Is he here to provoke the Ling Wang Fu?"

  Everyone was stunned, full of suspicion. At this time, openly attacking the Ling Wang Fu's escort and rescuing Tang Yan in broad daylight, isn't that openly opposing the Ling Wang Fu?

  Who is this ruthless person?!

  The man in black walked up to Tang Yan, the paper man floating in the wind landed on his body, but at the moment they touched each other, the paper man suddenly... came to life! His limbs moved, his head turned, and he slowly crawled onto the man's body. The empty eyes even jumped out with a cold flame.

  At this moment, everyone felt a chill emanating from the depths of their hearts and involuntarily took two steps back, as if the paper man was some kind of evil spirit.

  "Ren Tian Cang! Is that you?!" Hua Shu quickly calmed down, his fierce gaze fixed on the black-clad man below: "You've saved Tang Yan three times, aren't you afraid of bringing trouble to the Ren family?"

  "Who is Ren Tian Cang?"

  "Who is this? I've never heard of him?"

  People were talking about it.

  "Is... that... a Ren family member?" Tang Ming Jing, Yang family head, and Li family head quietly gasped, unable to conceal their shock as they stared at the black-clothed man carrying the paper person.

  Good heavens! How did this kind of thing get invited to Giant Elephant City?!

  No way!! How did he get through the Empire's border?! Why come to the Great Zhou Empire?! And why save Tang Yan?!

  All sorts of doubts swirl in the mind, turning into a flash of astonishment at the bottom of one's eyes!

  "Father, what's going on with the Ren family?" Tang Qian asked strangely, and it wasn't just him, nearly 99% of people inside and outside the city were filled with confusion.

  "A family that can't be provoked!" Tang Ming Jing obviously didn't want to say more, looking at Ren Tian Cang and then at Tang Yan who was struggling to get up below him, his eyes became even stranger.

  "Have you been to Dusty Fate Pavilion?" Ren Tian Cang didn't pay attention to the crowd, nor did he acknowledge Hua Shu in mid-air, and instead asked Tang Yan on his own.

  "They've come for me." Tang Yan crawled out of the deep pit, wiping away the fresh blood from his mouth corner, and swallowed the remaining three vials of Spiritual Origin Liquid in one gulp. His body's spiritual energy was replenished once more, and his tattered wounds rapidly healed.

  "You're too impatient, Wu Ling's transcendence to Wu Zong shouldn't be so fast." Ren Tian Cang observed Tang Yan.

  "Beyond one's control." Tang Yan took a deep breath, but it did not calm the chaotic spiritual energy within him. He could clearly feel that the Body Destruction Technique was reaching its limit and he would soon be drained to a dry corpse!

  "Tang Yanshan, are you rebelling?" Just then, a loud roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

  What?! Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they gazed up at the distant sky in shock. A violent storm cloud burst forth from the Tang Manor, covering the entire Giant Elephant City under its oppressive might. The temperature of the heavens and earth rapidly soared.

  "My goodness, the Ancestor of the Tang Family?! I haven't seen him appear in almost ten years." The people of Giant Elephant City gazed at the terrifying fire cloud with reverent eyes.
