Martial God Storm

  "King Wu Tang Qiang, you have not disappointed your reputation as the Butcher of the Northern Domain, no, not at all!!" Hua Shu stood in mid-air, a chilling aura of ice spreading around him, as if even the temperature of the air had dropped by several degrees.

  Void Step, a powerful skill that can only be possessed by those who have reached the rank of Martial King!

  Tang Qiong's slightly flushed gaze swept around, taking a step forward, and a strong shockwave rippled out in all directions. In an instant, the ground beneath rumbled with thunderous roars, as if numerous rivers were surging forth.

  For those who have just experienced the intense battle, this scene is all too familiar.

  Magma!! There is magma surging from underground!!

  Zhou Lingluo and others slightly changed color, but quickly stabilized their minds. Everyone worked together to release the cold ice energy, which soon connected into a whole, forming a huge circle of cold ice that was ready to be deployed at any time.

  Hua Shu stood proudly in mid-air, his body covered with dense and numerous ice crystals that accumulated more and more, like a cloud that had gathered heavy rain, which could pour down at any time and merge with the ice shell below.

  "Are you the one who killed Ano? And are you also the ones who captured the students of Giant Elephant Academy?" Tang Qiang slowly floated up, gazing at Hua Shu across the air, with the surrounding air slightly distorted and twisted. The magma underground was also affected, becoming more active.

  Hua Shu did not confirm or deny it, and calmly said: "When did the Giant Elephant Academy become so close to the Tang family? Losing a few students can still shock you, Tang Qiang?"

  "So you're saying... it was really you who did it?"

  "Whatever it is or isn't, Tang Qiong, let me give you a piece of advice: it's best if you don't interfere in other people's business."

  "This trivial matter today, I've really taken charge of it! Is Tang Yan in your hands or not? Hand him over immediately!"

  "Huh? Tang Yan? Not here? Master Hua's heart slightly stirred, and he calmly said: "What Tang Yan, we don't know him.""

  "Don't you know? You've been chasing for half a day, how can you not know!!" Tang Qiang asked on purpose, but in his heart, he was actually quite helpless. He knew best what kind of person the young master of his family was, and this group of people, even if they were rushing to the Giant Elephant Academy, wouldn't care about the young master who was nothing but a half-baked product, let alone know his name.

  "Unfortunately, we don't know anyone named Tang Yan. However, today you can consider it a favor to Tang Yan, you can take your family's young lady and that boy away, but this female instructor... must stay behind."

  Tang Qiong slightly furrowed her brow, and after a moment, coldly sneered: "What kind of rubbish are you people? You're making such a big fuss just to forcibly abduct a civilian girl? And you call yourself a Martial King!"

  "What we do doesn't need your interference, you may be strong, but you can't kill me in a short time. However, my subordinates can wipe out everyone around you in no time. Then, can you still withstand our joint attack?" Master Hua silently sensed the two rapidly approaching auras from afar, feeling somewhat anxious, but not showing any impatience. "Take your people away, we only want her, it's a fair trade, and it will save face for the Tang family, what do you say?"

  Tang Qiong was slightly moved, and the other party was right. The two fought for a short time and couldn't tell who would win or lose, but the many Wu Zong and Wu Ling around them were enough to kill Ailinda, Rachel, Tang Yan, and Du Yang in this short period of time.

  The order I received was to rescue Tang Yan and Tang Ying, especially to rescue Tang Yan, other things have nothing to do with me.

  Rachel's face changed slightly, and she shouted urgently: "Tang Qiang, don't listen to their nonsense! The commotion here is too big, it will definitely attract the attention of other instructors. They will rush over soon. We guarantee that before they arrive, we will protect Tang Ying!"

  He knew exactly what Tang Qiang was, this guy was completely inhumane, a thorough swindler. Once Tang Qiang felt the transaction was reasonable, he might really leave, so what would happen to himself and Ailinda then?

  "Hua Shu said coldly: 'You think you can? Plus a wounded first-class martial artist, and you can withstand their attack? You can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others? Ridiculous!'"

  "Rachel shouted again: 'They must have ulterior motives, don't be deceived by them. If they could kill, they would have taken action long ago, it's impossible to waste so many words, they must have something to consider!'"

  Huashu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said in a cold voice: "I'll give you three seconds, leave or die?!"

  Tang Ying shouted: "Uncle Tang Qiang, don't give up on Instructor Eryndor! We know where Tang Yan is!"

  "Huh? Tang Qiong glanced at Tang Ying."

  Tang Ying nodded firmly: "If Tang Yan is not in their hands, he must still be in the original place, we can find him back!"

  Tang Qiong fell back in front of Tang Ying and the others, looking up at the sky with pride: "I'm right here, who dares to take a step forward!!"

  "Can't we just kill you?" Huashu's face turned cold.

  "Give it a try!" Tang Qiang's aura surged and rolled, with cracks spreading rapidly from his palm, the ground began to shake and tremble, and a low rumbling sound came from deep beneath the earth, like some kind of wild beast roaring.

  "Master, we might know where Tang Yan is," two men in white suddenly appeared beside Zhou Lingluo, speaking in hushed tones.

  "Huh? Where?"

  "Earlier in the valley, we vaguely felt that there was a life fluctuation under the waterfall. Just as we were about to check... you discovered the target here and felt it might be some kind of monster, so... so we didn't alert you." The two said with a stiff upper lip.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier! Go back and deal with them properly!" Zhou Linglu glared at them fiercely, took a few quick steps forward, and made a gesture towards Master Hua in mid-air.

  Hua Shu, who was just about to launch the attack, paused slightly and glanced at Zhou Lingluo out of the corner of his eye. Zhou Lingluo nodded affirmatively.

  "Tang Qiong, you can protect her for now, but you won't be able to keep her from leaving the Mystic Forest. This woman... we will never let her go! Today is just a temporary reprieve, in the future... beware..." Huashu made a hand gesture and quickly disappeared into the distant woods, while Zhou Lingluo and others moved cautiously in the same direction.

  "What did you do to them?" Rachel looked at Erianda strangely after everyone left. From the tone of these people, it seemed like they had a deep grudge against Erianda.

  "I don't know." Eriinda vaguely understood, but didn't show it. After all... if she hadn't misjudged the girl's identity, this hijacking incident would definitely be extraordinary, not something a small college new instructor like herself could 'ramble on' about; she needed to report directly to the principal.

  "Where is Tang Yan? Take me to find him!" Tang Qiang stared at Eilinda, he didn't care about this woman's life or death, he only cared about where Tang Yan was now and how he was doing.

  "We got separated from him in a valley, and he had mentioned before that he might go back." Intelligent Tang Ying spoke up for Ailin, after all, this sentence was somewhat ambiguous, and if Tang Qiong got angry, it could ruin her.

  As expected, Tang Qiong's eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't erupt after all. He said in a cold voice, "Lead the way!"

  In a certain place in the mountain forest, Zhou Lingluo explained the situation clearly and said: "Tang Yan is likely to still be near the valley, with his strength he can't escape far."

  Huashu hesitated and said: "The problem is Tang Qiang, he seems very anxious about Tang Yan."

  "I have a proposal, Uncle Hua, you bring people to stay and disturb Tang Qiong, I'll bring people over to search for Tang Yan. As long as the Water Curtain Tianhua is activated, it should be found soon."

  "That's all, I'll give you three Wu Zong, you must find Tang Yan as soon as possible, don't waste words with him, kill him immediately! I'll try to block Tang Qiao for three hours on my side."

  To activate the Water Curtain Tianhua, at least four Wu Zong-level strongmen are needed to work together, and they cannot be subject to strong interference. This team now has only 24 people left, excluding him as the Wu Wang, there are six Wu Zongs, and the rest are all Wu Lings. To interfere with Tang Qiang and also protect the students being held hostage, Huashu can only give Zhou Lingluo three.

  But... Tang Yan was just a small martial artist, facing the joint encirclement and capture of the four major martial sects, the outcome was predictable.

  Tang Yan took advantage of the water flow to get far away from the valley, being extremely careful along the way, sticking close to the lake bottom as he swam, not surfacing until he really couldn't hold his breath any longer. But even swimming at the bottom of the lake was fraught with danger; if he were to encounter some kind of monster, it would be a disaster if he were swallowed in one gulp. So Tang Yan's nerves were stretched taut as he exercised extreme caution.

  After passing through for four hours, Tang Yan swam into a tributary and landed in a shallower place. After making sure there was no danger, he felt his way through the darkness of dawn and rushed into the dense forest, carefully hiding in a relatively secluded place.

  Roar!! The beastly roars echoed through the forest, a mixture of furious howls and mournful wails. At this dawn moment, many nocturnal demonic beasts finished their hunt, while many diurnal ones began to stir.

  The darkest moment of dawn, the psychedelic forest becomes the most dangerous.

  Time slipped away minute by minute, occasionally with terrifying monsters slowly passing through the place where Tang Yan was hiding. There were spiders as big as millstones and pale in color, giant centipedes that were entirely golden, alligators covered in hard scales, blue wolves wrapped in lightning, and even trees with their eyes open and branches stretched out.

  Tang Yan hid deep in the tree canopy, doing his best to conceal himself, and with difficulty suppressed a look of horror as he watched the occasional passing of demonic beasts, danger and tension flooding him like a tide.

  At that time some of the demonic beasts' auras were not dangerous, but Tang Yan still did not dare to reveal himself easily. Once an intense battle broke out, it was very likely to attract other demonic beasts, and this was the most dangerous situation.

  Until the sun rises in the east, the bright sunlight sprinkles on the mystical mountains and forests, and the dense danger has slightly eased.

  Tang Yan went into the river and caught some fish and shrimp to fill his stomach, then returned to the dense and messy forest.

  There are two problems now. One is that I have lost my bearings and direction, and I don't know where the baptismal altar is; the other is that the danger of the dense forest is gradually emerging, and I can be lucky to live for a few more days, but it's impossible to survive forever.

  So...

  "Kill the demon beast, refine the skill!" Tang Yan secretly made up his mind. Hunting and killing demon beasts not only allowed him to obtain spiritual liquid, but also to absorb their evil thoughts and enhance the power of his "Destruction Eye". Most importantly, he could familiarize himself with and utilize his spiritual energy in life-and-death battles, solidifying his cultivation.
