Chapter 60: Who is the Culprit?

  "Fatty, come and help me take care of these two little rascals. The rest of you, first tie up that woman!" A slightly sharp male voice came from the neighboring courtyard, and a thin figure jumped down from the wall.

  "Hurry up!!" Elinda shouted urgently, the old man in front of her was a martial arts master, and the newly appeared person also had a thick aura, probably also a strong martial artist, Tang Yan was no match at all!

  "Take care of yourself!"

  "The beautiful instructor from Giant Elephant Academy, we have long admired your great name."

  "Is it time to have fun tonight? Haha!!"

  "No more nonsense, bind her! She's a Second-Order Martial Ancestor, she can kill you all at any moment!" The old voice rang out, and the five people who had gathered together launched a full-scale attack, with various techniques and martial skills pouring towards Elynda.

  Tang Yan and Du Yang stood back to back, vigilantly looking ahead. It was too late to think of escaping now, as the man had already locked onto them, and on the opposite side of Du Yang, a sturdy figure was also closing in.

  "Report the registration number, and by the way, tell the mastermind behind the scenes to let me die a little more clearly." Tang Yan said while secretly touching Du Yang, hinting that he was ready to counterattack.

  "He said you're cunning and treacherous, demanding a quick battle, but don't worry, after you die, I'll make things clear to your corpse." The thin man at the front walked in slowly.

  "Is Yang Ruyan just telling you these things?" Tang Yan deliberately probed.

  "Put away your tricks! Fat Cat, start!"

  "Taste my earth thorn technique!" A burly man not far away let out a low growl, and with the surge of spiritual energy, within a range of over ten meters centered around Tang Yan and Du Yang, dense and numerous earth thorns suddenly emerged, extremely sharp, instantly piercing through the soles of their feet.

  Tang Yan and Du Yang let out a miserable cry, wanting to escape, but the ground was full of thorns, and with just one step, they would be pierced again, so they could only become chopping boards for slaughter.

  A lean figure suddenly struck out, a large-scale electric web condensed from a bolt of lightning enveloped the two people.

  "Roar of the Tiger!" Tang Yan let out a loud roar, the Tiger Seal rose into the air and collided head-on with the electric net.

  "Indeed some skill! Let's continue!" The lean figure swiftly retreated, condensed into a new electric web, and with an eerie momentum, it flipped over and pounced again.

  "Go!!!" Tang Yan and Du Yang endured the intense pain in their feet, charging towards mid-air, flipping and turning, not escaping or dodging, but instead actively pouncing on the frail figure.

  "Eye of Annihilation!" Tang Yan let out a low growl, as an evil aura enveloped his right eye and condensed into a terrifying grey beam that shot out, hitting the opponent in an instant.

  Overbearing and unmatched! Unstoppable!

  The terrifying penetrating power pierced through this person's chest cavity on the spot, and a mournful scream echoed in the fog.

  Pffft! Tang Yan and Du Yang simultaneously landed on the ground, the sharp thorns piercing through their bloody foot soles once again. However... they successfully closed in on each other, their feet aching unbearably, yet both of them had ferocious expressions, like out-of-control wild beasts.

  "Du Yang, prepare!" Tang Yan frantically concentrated the spiritual energy within his body. Du Yang's hands slammed into the ground, and a surge of spiritual energy burst forth, entering his body. Two deep impressions rapidly spread towards their target, only a few steps away.

  "Fierce Tiger Seal, Exploding Fist!" Tang Yan's Fierce Tiger Seal was released decisively, followed by three cyan fireballs.

  "Fatty cat, what are you standing there for!!" A thin figure let out a shrill angry roar, and a burst of surging electricity exploded from his body, sweeping towards the two of them. The Tiger Seal was instantly shattered, and even the fireball was greatly affected.

  "Rock Lin Jue!!" At the critical moment, Du Yang's two rock pillars successfully approached the emaciated man, breaking through the ground and twisting and rising as if they had a life of their own.

  Swift and fierce!

  The electric sparks that had erupted all over the man's body hadn't dissipated yet, and two stone pillars covered in sharp spikes shattered on the spot, but still a part of them came into contact with each other, then... Crack crack crack crack... The places where they touched quickly petrified, seeping from the surface to the inside.

  "What?!" The man's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly retreated explosively, desperately urging his spiritual energy to dissolve the numbness in his legs.

  "Du Yang, stop that fatty!!" Tang Yan's expression changed greatly, ignoring the intense pain, he rushed towards the retreating emaciated man, using his Misty Shadow martial skills to quickly close in. His Extinction Eye erupted once again, and with a fierce gathering of spiritual energy, he unleashed a barrage of attacks - Flame Seal, Fierce Tiger Seal, and Soul-Confusing Seal - almost as if he was going all out to kill.

  Tang Yan fell into a frenzied state, launching a frantic attack with all his might. He could feel it - this was absolutely a martial arts master! If he didn't suppress him quickly, he would definitely suffer a terrible defeat today.

  "Ahhh!!" The man let out a strange and mournful cry, his eyes rolling back as he pierced his own throat with his fingers, the evil force corroding the blood vessels and flesh there. His throat and legs were injured, causing his breathing to become disordered, the consecutive imprints crashing down on him, hitting his body without any suspense, despite being protected by the defensive spiritual power, he was still blown away tens of meters, far beyond the range of the earth spike.

  "Give you another chance, speak out the mastermind behind the scenes!" Tang Yan chased and killed, displaying his Misty Shadow martial arts skills to quickly close in, with fierce flames swirling around his body.

  The man's expression was somewhat horrified, how could this little guy be so crazy? Feeling the petrification spreading through his legs and the corrosion in his throat and chest cavity, he didn't dare to look back, and hastily retreated into a nearby residence, prioritizing healing his wounds.

  It's just a task, no need to go all out.

  Tang Yan wanted to chase after him, but he had second thoughts. After a moment's hesitation, he decisively withdrew and returned to the dusty area.

  Du Yang was being beaten to the point of vomiting blood and flying backwards. Earlier, in order to achieve the effect of ambushing the thin man, Yan Lin had absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy. However, he didn't have Tang Yan's abnormal recovery ability, so his current state was somewhat poor.

  "Your old man is dead, next... you!" Tang Yan roared, picking up the ancient war knife on the ground, frantically pouring in his last bit of spiritual energy, and fiercely slashing at the burly man: "Inferno Double Strike!"

  What? Dead? The robust man trembled for a moment, revealing a look of horror. However, at the critical moment, how could he lose his focus? Tang Yan's ancient war knife came out of nowhere and heavily chopped onto the robust man's shoulder.

  A loud crash sent him flying out, slamming into a nearby earthen wall, his entire right shoulder a bloody mess!

  "Rock forest, death surrounds!!" Du Yang rushed forward, waving his last spiritual power, a dense gray grid pattern appeared on the ground, extending towards the sturdy man.

  "You stay behind too." Tang Yan swung his ancient war sword and made a gesture as if he was about to charge.

  The robust man's face was ferocious, covering his broken shoulder as he turned and disappeared into the back courtyard, spotlessly clean.

  Tang Yan and Du Yang did not continue to pursue, after confirming that the other party had really left, they both swayed a few times, almost falling to the ground. Their feet were already tattered and their bodies were almost emptied. In just over ten seconds of attack, they had to exhaust all their strength, and the consumption was naturally terrifying.

  Tang Yan looked at Du Yang with some surprise, who was panting heavily. This guy is also ruthless!

  At this time, the group of people surrounding Ailin also faced a threat, and screams rang out one after another. One first-class martial artist, four third-class martial artists, together seemed powerful, but still couldn't withstand a second-class martial artist!

  "Ailin Tutor, we caught two alive!" Tang Yan shouted loudly, intentionally intimidating them.

  "You don't need to keep any of them, kill them all!" Du Yang added immediately, the two of them working in tacit cooperation.

  What? Caught? As expected, the people who were originally passive were secretly shocked, and the offensive appeared to be in disarray. Because of the dust blocking their view, they couldn't see the situation ahead clearly, but it was clear that there was no longer a fight over there, the two little guys seemed to be fine, but their own boss had disappeared without a trace.

  Ailin's spirit shook slightly, taking advantage of the momentum to launch a fierce attack. The dense explosion of ice butterflies instantly killed one of them.

  "The mission is over, withdraw!" The old man grasped the corpse and the dust around them surged violently. They disappeared cleanly into the smoke.

  A carefully planned assassination ended in such a way, it seems somewhat anticlimactic.

  "Are you two alright?" Eriinda hurried over, concern etched on her face as she supported the swaying pair.

  "Not dead yet, it's just this leg..." Tang Yan's feet dared not touch the ground, wryly smiling at Ailinda, Du Yang was somewhat embarrassed, but also did not dare to move.

  "Just be honest!!" Eriol naturally understood their meaning, but couldn't care about that much anymore. She endured the awkwardness and carried Tang Yan on her back, while Tang Yan pulled Du Yang onto his own back, and they quickly left in a relatively strange manner.

  The intense battle just now was a bit too eye-catching, and it has already attracted the attention of the nearby patrol team. Ailinda and others were stopped without running too far. Seeing that they were from the Tang family and were on the verge of collapse, the patrol team knew that this was a major event, so one part escorted them back to the Tang Mansion, while another part quickly rushed to the scene to investigate.

  "What a thing to do! How dare you attack my son, Tang Mingjing! Search for him, seal off the entire city, search!!" In the wing room of the Tang Mansion, Tang Mingjing's face was gloomy, and with one angry shout, the guards disappeared without a trace.

  "Could it be Dong Leiming's doing?" Tang Mingzhong furrowed his brow, pondering. The incident at noon today had once again become the talk of the town, and as parents, they naturally knew all about it. Just a moment ago, he was still thrilled and delighted by Tang Yan's changes and growth, but unexpectedly, something like this happened.

  At this critical moment, they naturally thought of Dong Leiming.

  Tang Qian nodded in agreement, "There's a possibility of that. Second Brother's bet this time was quite exaggerated. Dong Leiming can't afford to pay up, and after going back, he might even get scolded by Dean Dong. So, with a heart full of resentment, he might make some abnormal moves."

  Tang Jun remained, in the name of Old Master: "According to your description, they should be a group of hired mercenaries. As long as we can track them down, we should be able to get to the bottom of this."

  Tang Qian suddenly looked at Tang Yan, his eyes somewhat strange: "Could it be Yang Ruyan? The martial skill you used today should be the 'Misty Shadow' from the Yang family's 'Phantom Spirit True', can I know what happened?"

  PS: Tentatively scheduled to go online after National Day, Xiao Shu already has enough inventory, and when the time comes, it will be a burst of 5-6 days, giving brothers 60-70 chapters!! All are passionate and exciting moments.
