Chapter 83: Tang Yan's Madness

  The notorious 'Madman' Tang Yanshan's reputation echoes throughout the empire, and in this northern wilderness, in this Giant Elephant City, no one can match him. If this madman were to go on a rampage, even Zhou Lingwang would have to carefully consider the consequences. In this world that reveres martial arts and holds might in high esteem, such an individual is awe-inspiring in and of themselves. Many warriors in Giant Elephant City take pride in Tang Yanshan's existence, for his presence keeps the demonic beasts of the Mystic Forest at bay, and the unruly mercenaries dare not act recklessly!

  This is a legendary figure who shook the Great Zhou Empire for decades!

  "Is this madman taking pity on his grandson? Could he be preparing to go berserk?"

  "Uh... shouldn't we... retreat first?"

  "If he goes mad, this giant elephant city will be doomed!" The crowd was in an uproar, with a mix of astonishment and trepidation.

  "What does Lao Die want to do?" Tang Ming's expression was solemn, staring intently at the rolling fire clouds, with an anger that anyone could feel.

  "Does Old Master want to protect Second Young Master? Is the price not...?" Tang Jun was shocked and uncertain, once a fight breaks out, today's chaos will be hard to quell!

  ROAR!!! A loud and clear howl pierced through the clouds, this one howl shook heaven and earth, this one roar, howled open the fire clouds, everyone felt their souls trembling, in a series of shocked gazes, the rolling golden light was like a volcano erupting, pouring into the sky, the golden light gathered into a massive golden giant elephant, like a huge mountain, pressing down on everyone, making it hard for them to breathe.

  "Is that Dean Dong of Giant Elephant Academy? What's going on here?" The people inside and outside the city walls stared blankly.

  Director Dong, another great martial arts master from the Northern Wilderness Domain. Although his reputation may not be as fearsome as Tang Yan's, his mastery of the Golden Elephant Technique allows him to look down on all strong masters at the Respected level, and he can withstand any attack from a same-level opponent!

  If Tang Yan's Flame Blade is said to be the strongest 'spear' in the Northern Wilderness, then Director Dong can be called the strongest 'shield'!

  Two old antiques that have not appeared for twenty years actually both appeared today.

  The astonishment of the whole city had not yet dissipated, and in this central area where Jinxiang and Huoyun were confronting each other, a crystal-clear jade bamboo suddenly appeared out of thin air. It did not have dazzling brilliance or terrifying energy fluctuations, but stood steadily between the two.

  A green halo, alone in a realm!

  At the top of the jade bamboo, an old man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming like torches as he gazed intently at the elderly figure emerging slowly from the fire clouds. "Tang Yanshan, you really dare to rebel? For the sake of a dying child, you dare declare war on the Ling Wang Fu?"

  "Old devil Tang, from a friend's standpoint, I advise you to withdraw immediately!" In the midst of the gigantic golden elephant's radiance, an emaciated old man slowly lifted his eyelids. He seemed weak and feeble, yet no one dared to underestimate him, not even the imperial royal family!

  Three Great Martial Reverends!! A martial reverend whose rage can cause mountains and rivers to collapse!

  Distant mercenaries and residents were both nervous and excited at the same time, fortunate enough to witness the appearance of the Martial Honored One!

  Tang Yanshan stepped out of the flames and walked towards mid-air step by step: "No need to be nervous, I'm just here to watch a play."

  "Sorry, the show is over!"

  "Really? I feel like we've just begun!"

  Chang Tian Zhu's aura gradually cooled, and the atmosphere he emitted was not a bit weaker than that of the two: "What do you want to do? Are you really going to confront the Ling Wang Fu? I advise you to think carefully, once you make a move, today's game may end with the downfall of your Tang family!"

  "You don't need to threaten me, I, Tang Yan Shan, have been roaming the Great Zhou Empire for decades and have never feared anyone. Chang Tian Zhu, you'd better not speak to me in this tone, or I'll kill you with just one move!" Tang Yan Shan gave Chang Tian Zhu a cold glance, his killing intent flashing out like a sword being unsheathed.

  Chang Tian Zhu's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to explode. Tang Yan's fierce flame technique was too terrifying, the eight-layered strike was stacked, even a second-level martial arts master would choose to avoid it, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to go head-to-head with this old ghost.

  "Let's go, I'll take you out of the city." Ren Tiancang turned and left, his icy and indifferent demeanor leaving the onlookers stunned, and even more so enraging the half-alarmed Master Hua.

  "Descendant of the Ren family?" Chang Tian Zhu had already noticed Ren Tian Cang, slightly hesitating as if considering something, but quickly became resolute: "Old Hua, he should have just broken into Wu Wang and hasn't grasped the corresponding skills yet, his aura isn't chaotic either. You should be able to kill him."

  Hua Shu's spirit shook violently, and without hesitation, he pounced towards Ren Tian Cang.

  However... Tang Yan's actions in the next moment made Huashu stop dead in his tracks, shocking the entire city: "Tang Ba, Tang Qing, Tang Hao, from today on, you are expelled from the Tang family and cut off all ties with the Tang family. From now on, whatever good or evil you do, it has nothing to do with the Tang family!"

  Tang Ba, Tang Qing and Tang Hao stood there in a daze, staring blankly into the distance as the thunderous voice still echoed in their ears. Expelled from home? Sever all ties with the Tang family? Starting today?!

  "Old master, we..." Tang Qing's mind was shocked and trembling with fear, wanting to rush up, but was pulled back by Tang Ba.

  "What did we do wrong? Why are we being kicked out of the house?" Tang Qing's anxious voice trembled, "Kicked out of the house? Impossible! He has dedicated so many years to the Tang family without complaint or regret, why is he suddenly being kicked out?"

  Tang Hao gazed deeply at the blazing cloud of fire, a bitter smile on his face: "Old man, you're really ruthless!"

  "Old Qing, don't you understand? We are no longer members of the Tang family! What Master meant to say..." Tang Ba's heart was even more filled with mixed emotions, he closed his eyes, covering up that hint of bitterness.

  "Has Father gone mad?! We've already lost Tang Qiong, and now we're going to abandon Tang Ba, Tang Qing, and Tang Hao? How can the Tang family stand in the North Wasteland from now on?" Tang Mingzhong's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, while the other members of the Tang family looked at him incredulously, as if they thought they had misheard.

  "Old Dad isn't crazy." Tang Ming Jing stared blankly at the sky, his mouth curled up in a strange smile that seemed both bitter and relieved. He muttered to himself: "When going out, how can we not have a bodyguard? People from our Tang family shouldn't be so poor."

  Tang Jun understood Tang Yan's meaning, but he couldn't express the taste in his heart. Old man, is this your decision? No wonder you abandoned Tang Yan so resolutely, it turns out that you had already made up your mind long ago.

  Tang Ba, Tang Qing, and Tang Hao, three great martial kings, three great notorious butchers, what a big brush stroke!

  Tang Qian's expression was somewhat dull, was he expelled from the house? Or guarding Tang Yan! Grandfather, could his position in your heart be so important! I kept trying, kept growing, and in the end, it wasn't even comparable to a spoiled brat who constantly caused trouble!

  Why? Why!! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!

  Ad came up behind Tang Jian and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Young Master, is there anything you need me to do?"

  "Follow me, I have something to do for the Tang family. The three great martial kings can't be wasted like this!" A sly glint flashed in Tang Qian's eyes, and he took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on mid-air to quickly leave with Ade.

  "Tang Yansong, you're ruthless! You'd even abandon the Three Great Martial Kings. I underestimated your temperament as a guardian!" Chang Tian's eyebrows furrowed deeply, but he couldn't find any reason to refute, after all Tang Yansong had expelled Tang Ba and others from their home, and did so in front of the entire Giant Elephant City, leaving no room for regret or denial.

  However... Chang Tian Zhu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe again, this Tang Yan Shan is not just any ordinary crazy person! The Three Great Martial Kings can abandon something and it's abandoned, probably even the Zhou Ling Wang wouldn't be able to do that! Even those princes from the imperial family would be heartbroken for several days, unable to catch their breath.

  Director Dong's expression was somewhat complex, and he looked at Tang Yanshan with a profound meaning: "Without them, the Tang family's ranking among the six major families in the Northern Wilderness will fall behind."

  "With me here, this giant elephant city's first family is still the Tang family! What about them? They don't even dare to be presumptuous!" Tang Yanshan glanced at the Li and Yang families not far away.

  The elderly members of the two families had angry faces, but they didn't dare to erupt. Indeed, among the six major families in the Northern Wilderness Domain, only the Tang and Gu families had Martial Emperors, while the heads of the other families were basically at the peak of Martial Kings, just one step away from becoming Martial Emperors, with a huge gap between them. As long as Tang Yan didn't die, no one would dare to be reckless in Giant Elephant City... However, the Tang family's external industries might suffer severe losses.

  If it weren't for Tang Ba and those few butchers holding down the fort, they would have been able to make a good calculation.

  Tang Yan understood Tang Yan's meaning and could feel the doting love in it. At this critical moment, abandoning the three great martial kings meant that from now on, Tang Ba and others would guard him by his side. This feeling was too heavy! Tang Yan took a deep breath, bowed to Tang Yan, didn't say much, re-gripped the ancient war knife, turned around and rushed towards the city gate.

  "Farewell, Giant Elephant City. I hope that when I return next time, you will be surprised. Remember, Du Yang will come back." Du Yang struggled to get up, picked up the unconscious Hei Niu, and chased after Tang Yan as they stumbled towards the city gate.

  "Tang Yan is going to escape!! Stop him! Everyone stop him!!" Zhou Lingluo shouted urgently, her eyes never leaving his.

  The remaining four great martial kings of the Ling Wang Fu stepped into the air and surrounded Tang Yan.

  Huashu wanted to act, but was stared down by Ren Tiancang's gaze. The pale paper man floated above his head, emitting an evil and cold aura that would make anyone who glanced at it feel a chill run down their spine!

  Chang Tianzhu's words were credible, but Hua Shu knew the quirks of the Ren family. Ren Tiance might have just broken into Wu Wang's territory, but when it came to a real fight, it was unclear who would gain the upper hand, unless one didn't want to keep their old life anymore.

  Damn it!! The last time I met Ren Tian Cang, he was only a third-grade Wu Zong, how did he become a Wu Wang so quickly?

  What little time! What an opportunity he encountered!

  "Let's go, do what we should! This is the old man's last mission, we... will execute it to the end!" Tang Ba burst into the sky, his wild footsteps shaking the air, the underground rocks of Giant Elephant City turned into magma, erupting violently, scorching temperatures burning heaven and earth, large swaths of houses were destroyed, rushing towards the four great martial kings.

  "Ahh! My home!"

  "My tavern! That scoundrel Tang Ba is killing me!!"

  "What the f**k!! Be more careful!!"

  The entire Elephant Castle burst out in angry roars, Tang Ba's unscrupulous bombardment almost destroyed the Elephant Castle.

  "It's been a long time since I've gone so crazy, Xiao Qing! Follow me!" Tang Hao burst into laughter and soared into the sky, a dazzling flame wing unfolded with a loud noise, magnificent and beautiful, carrying her to shoot through the sky at an extreme speed.

  She has made great achievements in the field of Shadow Wing, even Tang Yanshan admires her. While others can only condense fire shadows to launch impacts, she can already condense them into flame wings, granting agility and speed.

  The King of Martial Arts could already tread on air and walk, but with this pair of wings, her speed would increase several times, standing undefeated in battles of the same level!

  Tang Qing was indignant and resentful, his heart full of discontent. However, after a brief moment of hesitation, he still faithfully carried out his task. He didn't immediately rush onto the battlefield, but instead turned around and rushed towards the Tang Manor. In his heart, there was a voice yelling, "You bastard, you've dismissed me, I don't have to be so cautious anymore! That heavy iron sword... I've been waiting for it for a long time!"
