The light aura that converged into a bright sharp spear entered Liu Zhong Guang’s vision, the low and hair standing shriek, was like a huge and heavy wild star beast sweeping past.
In that moment, Liu Zhong Guang’s mind went into a blank.
The two sharp Ray Spears pierced into the human crowd.
No one would have thought that the Lupus Army would a.s.sault in so firmly and crazily. Many martial artists were not in time to defend, and facing the Ray Spears, they could only block in a panic.
Chi chi chi!
The Ray Spears pierced into their bodies without any hesitation, leaving only terrifying holes filled with blood, the spurting fresh blood dripped onto the ray spears, filled with the beauty of despair.
Clang Clang!
Two ear-splitting sounds struck each other at the same time.
In the first wave of attack, three martial artists survived, an old man wielding a cane, a black robed woman wielding a pair of hoop saws, and the last one, was Wu Xia’s subordinate, Mo Bao.
The old man’s cane techniques was fierce, facing the Ray Spears, he did not retreat at all. Bellowing out loud, his hair and beard flew out, and his cane struck out! The Ray Spear instantly exploded out, he retreated a few steps from the explosion, his robes with some tears.
The black robed lady was quick to react, when the Ray Spear flew towards her, she had thrown out the hoop saw from her right hand, the green hoop saw swirled and shot out into the sky, following that the black robed lady’s figure suddenly appeared at that green hoop saw, dodging the Ray Spear.
Mo Bao did not have the choice to dodge, he had long wanted to test the weight of the attack. He had a horse stance, the Ring Pommel Blade in his hand was not in the least bit fanciful, slashed down. The Ray Spear immediately exploded, Mo Bao’s figure flashed, not retreating a step. But his face was extremely ugly.
Liu Zhong Guang regained his senses, his pale face had regained some redness. He secretly laughed at his own cowardly habit which could not be changed, as he got shocked.
Lupus Army’s standard was truly high. The standard was not indicating their individual strength that was outstanding, but their teamwork and coordination was too perfect. The a.s.sault previously, for ten blade auras to merge into one, without any leakage or loss, that perfect synchronization, only armies with an extreme standard could perform such feat.
From the merger, such a standard meant that they were already a first rate military unit in its embryonic form.
But the individual strengths of each soldier had slight differences, if it was any one of the six armies of Lion King, in the first a.s.sault, no one would have survived. That was because every single soldier of the Lion King’s six big armies was a lot stronger.
Liu Zhong Guang suddenly felt that his thoughts were a joke, he actually compared the Lupus Army to Lion King’s six armies, a puny army and Heaven Road’s strongest army together, that was truly a joke.
But in his heart, he had to admit, The army under Tang Tian’s subordinates, truly had some standard.
The old man who blocked the attack just now, had his qi become hectic, he shouted in panic: “Wait a moment, This old one hails from Aquila Constellation….”
(TN: I have previously translated Aquila as Heavenly Eagle i think)
“Aquila Constellation!”
Everyone on scene was stunned, Aquila Constellation was one of the 10 Equatorial Palace Halls. No one in the current Equatorial Palace was weak, they were Equuleus Constellation, Canis Minor Constellation, Aquila Constellation, Ophiuchus Constellation, Serpens Constellation, s.e.xtans Constellation, Hydra Constellation, Monoceros Constellation, Orion Constellation and Cetus Constellation.
Adrian from Orion Constellation had come, Master Wu Xia from Ursa Major Constellation also came, never did they expect Aquila Constellation to reach out too.
It was truly a messy situation!
“Aquila Constellation ah!” Tang Tian scoffed.
The old man relaxed in his mind, he originally thought to take advantage of the situation for his own gain, but he did not expect Tang Tian’s strength to far exceed his imaginations. With a tyrannical being such like Aquila Constellation as his backing, no matter how powerful Tang Tian was, he did not see Tang Tian as an equal.
His heart relaxed, and the arrogance and reserved look on his naturally became more obvious. He waited for Tang Tian to give him a way out. As long as he was not that dumb, he would definitely not offend Aquila Constellation at such a time.
The Aquila Army was one of the famous elites of Heaven’s Road, Lupus Constellation, what kind of rural location was that?
“Just because you’re from Aquila Constellation, you think that you can attack me?”
The old man was startled, he thought he heard wrong, so he raised his head, only to see Tang Tian’s right hand forming a fist, his thumb pointing towards him with his face looking cruel.
This…
Tang Tian lifted his chin, his expression aggressive, resembling a hoodlum on the streets: “Just because you’re Aquila Constellation, you can run to this young master’s territory and cause trouble?”
A blaze flamed up in his eyes, he sneered at the old man looking helpless, with an extremely cold and n.o.ble expression, he spoke out two words slowly from behind his clenched teeth: “Kill him!”
The old man was dumbstruck. ‘Is he crazy? Does he not know, in front of Aquila Constellation, he is just an ant?’
Tang Tian’s words had not disappeared, Tang Yi had already rushed forward.
From his both sides, four small groups seemed to have telepathic powers, moving out at the same time, they were like four sharp arrowheads, and Tang Yi was the magnet that lured them in.
70 steps!
The surprising a.s.sault power of the Flaming Steps Horse, in a blink of an eye, in that short duration, the four small groups by Tang Yi’s side had completely formed a perfect attacking angle.
With no roars, Tang Yi raised his Zanbato emotionlessly.
Four ray spears flew out from both sides, as Tang YI slashed his Zanbato down, the four ray spears merged into his blade aura, the dazzling light aura sparkling brightly, it was as though Tang Yi was holding an entire sun!
The old man seemed to be awakened from a dream, he shouted out in despair: “No….”
The light aura flashed, and the place where the old man was, only had half of his body left.
Tang Yi set his blade horizontally, his eyes sweeping past everyone, his imposing manner of looking at everyone disdainfully enveloped the entire field. He looked as though he just did a simple thing, reined his horse and turned to walk away.
Clock clock clock.
The slow hooves sounds from the horse were ear piercing in the silence.
Everyone was stunned by Tang Tian’s craziness, and stunned by Tang Yi’s blade the shined in the darkness. Many more were deeply stimulated by Tang Yi’s attack, since when could a Spirit General look down on them!
But no one made a sound. Even the black robed lady and Mo Bao who dodged the Ray Spears had fear in their eyes.
They too could not dodge Tang Yi’s blade!
The a.s.sault of the heavy lance before, made everyone feel the intense pressure and the disability to dodge. But Tang Yi’s own a.s.sault, was on a completely different level.
They did not know, Tang Yi had the qualifications to be so arrogant, was because he was a unique spirit general!
His a.s.sault, was unique in the entire world!
Everyone all had the intention to leave.
But, as though Tang Tian knew what everyone was thinking, his arrogant voice came out.
“No one moves. Tang Yi, whoever tries to escape, kill them.”
Everyone who was ready to take action froze, as though they were petrified, no one made a move.
“Yes!”
Tang Yi’s whose eyes were closed, slowly opened his eyes, the cold gaze, caused everyone’s heart to freeze.
Tang Tian carefreely sat at the doorstep and crossed his legs His right hand supported his chin, his gaze swept across everyone, as if he was harboring malicious intentions. After thinking for a short while, he felt that his manner was not imposing enough, so he retrieved out a long blade and held on to it.
Crane and Ling Xu watched as the situation calmed down, then flew back beside Tang Tian. Both of their opponents, facing the Lupus soldiers who were eyeing them covetously, did not dare to make a move.
Tang Tian pierced the blade into the ground, causing rocks to fly out. He looked at the people around, as though he was looking at his sheeps and pigs.
“All of those friends hiding, come on out. The one at the lower millstone, the one hanging beneath the roof, the one hiding in the corner…”
With an indifferent tone, Tang Tian pointed out all the places where the people were hiding. His intuition was scary, and they did not even need to think about hiding from his senses.
“Same thing, the first to run, dies.”
Tang Tian repeated that sentence, causing the few people who were initially planning to escape all obediently walked out from their hiding spots.
Liu Zhong Guang was stunned, he had initially thought that his concealment was top notch, with his standard, and his teacher Adrian who had praised Tang Tian the the nines, was seen through by Tang Tian.
What kind of weird freak is he exactly….
Everyone’s face looked terrible, at that moment, they all could no longer maintain their calmness.
Tang Tian sat like a boss and shouted loudly: “Everyone, let’s discuss, how are we going to resolve today’s issue?”
He patted the blade onto the ground again and again, his face was full of arrogance. Upon speaking, it was filled with the language and demeanour of a street hoodlum. Ling Xu did not find it weird, only Crane felt slightly uncomfortable. He then looked down at himself, then Ling Xu, then Tang Yi, then Tang Tian.
This….why does this look like us asking for protection fees from them….
And I am a direct underling of the boss, there will definitely be nicknames for us, for example, the Four King Kongs, or the 13 Delinquents….
(TN: Si Da Jin Gang, The Four King Kongs, is actually a Singapore local food! Trivia!)
I have my own thoughts, my dreams, a disciple with ambition, how did I land into this situation today, Crane wanted to cry, but without tears.
Everyone remained silent.
It was as if Tang Tian was holding onto an exceptional throwing knife, one hit one kill. Obviously, he could not kill everyone, but he would definitely kill the first one who moved. The people all had ulterior motives and plans. In such a situation, no one dared to be the head, but wanted someone to move first, and take the chance to escape.
“Since no one wants to talk, then I will speak. Everyone of you will have to leave something behind. Anything is fine, as long as it is worth at least 100 million star coins, star currency card is accepted too.”
Tang Tian said carefreely, his eyes stern, his face feigning carelessness: “Do not dare tell me you do not have anything. Every single one of you are people with stature and positions, so many eyes are watching, to not have a mere 100 million star coins, that sure is embarra.s.sing.”
Everyone was stunned by Tang Tian’s words, but after a while, they reacted.
Extortion!
They were actually being extorted out in the open!
Many people were fuming to the point of trembling, they were not all tyrants, just famous experts, since when, would they be ripped off and extorted from?
“Of course, if you do not have then it is fine, anyway what is more valuable than life itself.”
Tang Tian exposed his two rows of white teeth, the long blade in his hands, chopped onto the ground, digging so deep it revealed only the hilt of the blade.
Everyone was stunned.
Crane almost wanted to cover his own face, his heart was feeling a deep sense of humiliation. This fellow truly was ripping them off by extorting from them! G.o.d, I am of n.o.ble and clean living man, how can I stoop to such actions? This is an extreme betrayal to my ideals, this is degrading, staining my life…
Crane who was deeply reflecting felt something swaying in front of him, he suddenly raised his head to look, it was a cloth bag.
Tang Tian was holding onto the cloth bag in front of Crane: “Little Crane, go and collect everything.”
As though he was struck by lightning, Crane’s entire being became petrified.
Why….why must it be me….
