Chapter 65 The Old Man Who Smoked Dry Tobacco

  For Tang Yan, all of this had nothing to do with him. The three continued to play the role of vulnerable groups, carefully wandering through the ruins of various towns, changing places every day, and gaining something new each day.

  At night, refine and transform; in the daytime, fight and struggle. At night, absorb and assimilate; in the daytime, consolidate and solidify.

  In the repeated battles and killings, the coordination between the three people became more and more tacit, and in the repeated tempering and training, the strength of the three people was steadily increasing.

  In this crazy and self-forgetting tempering, Tang Yan steadily rose to the peak of Wulian, Du Yang made another breakthrough, entering the realm of three-stage Wulian, Ailin reached the barrier of two-stage Wuzong, and the one who changed the most was Xiao Hei Gou.

  Every time it's nightfall and Tang Yan distributes the Spiritual Origin Liquid, he always gives Xiao Hei some 'half-products', sometimes two or three, sometimes six or seven. Xiao Hei never refuses them and swallows them all down. Although every time it's painful like his muscles are being torn apart, every time he can still come back to life on the second day. In the uninterrupted self-torment, Xiao Hei's 'appetite' gets bigger and bigger, his endurance gets stronger and stronger, and his body expands by a full size.

  Tang Yan recently gave it a more loving name - Hei Jun!

  Du Yang and Ailin were speechless at the name, but Xiao Hei seemed very pleased, trotting along behind Tang Yan with a wagging tail.

  BOOM!! The city ruins were wiped out, and a fierce battle erupted.

  "Rock forest, thrust!" A loud roar rolled in his throat, Du Yang tumbled and fell, fiercely clenched his fist and slammed the ground, a rolling mark quickly spread forward, in the blink of an eye, a stone pillar full of thorns burst out of the ground, like a giant python twisting and killing.

  "You bunch of bastards, do you know who I am? I'll make sure none of you have a good death!" A robust man covered in blood roared with anger, rolling and dodging awkwardly.

  "You can live till today, Ice Butterfly Storm!" A shrill cry echoed in mid-air, and in an instant, a chilling gust of wind descended from the sky, dense ice butterflies exploded with a loud crash, completely enveloping the retreating strong man, and mournful cries of despair reverberated through the alleys.

  Du Yang's eyes gleamed like a torch, and under the urging of his thoughts, the stone python pounced violently, rubbing against the strong man's shoulder and tearing past. The man let out another terrified scream, and the wound that had been rubbed by the python suddenly petrified quickly.

  Tang Yan, who had just been defeated, rushed out from the diagonal rear and swung his ancient war knife to slash through the air: "Inferno Double Strike!!"

  Bang! Ka! The ancient war knife instantly hit the shoulder of the robust man who was petrified, and half of his body burst into pieces. In that instant, the ghostly blue flame on the ancient war knife spread out.

  "Fierce Blaze!!" Tang Yan's body fell to the ground, and the seven fireballs surrounding him exploded and shot out in all directions. In an instant, they engulfed the powerful warrior of the Wu Zong level, who didn't even have time to let out a pained cry before being consumed by the intense blue flames.

  Huffing and puffing! Tang Yan and Du Yang were panting violently, this was the first time they had actively killed a Martial Ancestor since entering the desolate city, and it was still a second-stage Martial Ancestor. Despite their close cooperation, the three of them had paid a huge price.

  "Are you all right?" Eriinda's mouth was stained with blood, her cold eyes vigilantly watching the nearby mercenaries. The deliberately released surging spiritual power brought a lot of pressure to these onlookers, and no one dared to come over and provoke her.

  "Don't worry, whoever dares to take a step forward, don't be polite!" Tang Yan and Du Yang stood in front of the burning corpse, blocking the view of these people, waiting for the green fire to refine.

  They never thought of actively provoking the mercenaries here, but the guy they just killed had taken a liking to Tang Yan's ancient war knife and insisted on taking it. Although the three were low-key, they weren't easy to mess with, so they directly joined forces... and killed him!

  "Waaaah!!"

  Xiao Hei suddenly jumped down from Tang Yan's shoulder, his fur standing on end, black electricity swirling around him, letting out a low warning growl towards the ruins beside him.

  Tang Yan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, furrowed his brow and looked over there. It was a collapsed wine house, with stones and wood scattered all over, buried under dust and messy things. At first glance, he didn't notice anything, but after careful observation for a while, Tang Yan actually saw a... person?!

  In the collapsed space, a person covered in dust sat cross-legged, with a wooden expression and a dull gaze, unconsciously puffing on a dry tobacco pipe. If not for the faint red glow at the end of the pipe, no one would have noticed there was still someone inside.

  "What's wrong?" Erlinda and Du Yang walked over, picked up the Lingyuan liquid that had just been refined on the ground, and put it into a jade bottle.

  Second-order Wu Zong's Lingyuan Liquid! Absolutely a precious supplement!

  "Look inside, there's an old man smoking." Tang Yan looked at him strangely, the old man was completely unaware, still dull and expressionless, unconsciously puffing on his pipe.

  "Huh? How did he get in?" Du Yang's eyes widened in surprise.

  "Old man? Do you need us to get you out?" Tang Yan called out towards the inside, but the old man didn't respond at all.

  Ailinda whispered: "I didn't feel any fluctuations of spiritual power from him, he might be an ordinary person."

  "Ordinary people? Can ordinary people survive here?" Du Yang sneered.

  "Old man, do you want to come out?" Tang Yan continued to call out, wanting to move the collapsed beam, but was worried that if he touched this side, the narrow space inside would immediately collapse, burying him alive.

  He was called repeatedly, but the old man inside still smoked his pipe woodenly, seemingly stupid and unresponsive. Xiaohuo bared its teeth and stared at him, as if it wanted to pounce, but felt threatened instead.

  "This old man is a bit strange, we'd better not interfere with him." Du Yang reminded in a low voice. This wine tower had collapsed for a long time, and from the dust covering it, no one had moved in a short period of time. The old man inside was also covered in dust all over his body, as if he had been there for a very long time.

  Can an ordinary person without spiritual power survive inside?

  No way! Not even a ghost would believe it!

  Tang Yan observed for a while again, but the old man still didn't react, so he stopped paying attention: "Where's the Lingyuan Liquid?"

  "It's all over."

  "Hei niu, zou." The city was getting more and more chaotic, they couldn't stay in one place for long.

  Not long after they left, the old man in the ruins slightly raised his head, and his dull eyes showed a faint flicker, looking towards the direction where Tang Yan left, but without much attention, continuing to smoke his pipe woodenly. However, a hint of sharpness flashed at the bottom of his eyes, the time is almost here!

  Tang Yan continued his 'clean-up' work, wandering between the various ruined cities. Although the current desolate city graveyards were divided into many spheres of influence, restricting each other from crossing borders, no one paid attention to these three 'weaklings'. They took advantage of this opportunity, staying in each city for a period of time, finding suitable targets to strike.

  In the territory controlled by the Great Zhou Empire, Tang Ye saw several princes of the imperial family, members of the Tang clan and other aristocratic families, as well as powerful individuals from various academies, and also the Ling Wang Fu and Zhen Guo Fu kingdoms. Within the territories of Delos and Sharo Empires, he saw their royal family members and noble powers, and many king-level strongmen with special martial arts skills. In some mercenary gathering places, he witnessed the largest mercenary organizations from the Bian Nan Empire, feeling their chaos and madness. In certain areas controlled by Central Plains forces, he saw super characters from the most prosperous regions of the continent, feeling an awe-inspiring aura.

  Others were searching for treasures, but Tang Yan and his group were just sightseeing, secretly collecting Spiritual Origin Liquid while curiously observing these powers. Whether it was the powerful De Los Empire and Sa Luo Empire, which were on par with the Great Zhou Empire, or the massive mercenary forces, what was even more important was the ancient power from the Central Plains, all of which made Tang Yan's eyes shine with excitement.

  Although Elinda is a mentor of the Academy, she can introduce some figures of the Grand Zhou Empire at most. As for others... she knows nothing and is equally interested.

  But after a long time, they did not find any forces similar to Dusty Pavilion. In Eirin's words, these so-called ancient empires and holy lands should not be truly ancient empires and holy lands. The majestic Dusty Pavilion is located in the vast central continent, transcending the heroes of the continent, overlooking the entire continent. The earth-level martial skills opened by 'Di Huang' cannot arouse their interest, let alone Bian Nan and Zhong Yuan are billions of kilometers apart, and news is difficult to spread there. Even if they knew, it would take four or five months to rush over.

  In other words, the ancient empire and holy land that appeared in the desolate city cemetery should be a force between the Central Plains and the edge of the wilderness, but even so, these forces are still far beyond the three major empires on the edge of the wilderness. Their arrival means that the dominance of this desolate city belongs to them!
