Chapter 170: The Fight!
“What?”
Hearing Wei Wuya’s words, Tang Jinbiao’s pupils contracted slightly. He thought, “Heh, you’re finally getting to the reason!”
Indeed, Tang Jinbiao had always been curious. If it were just because of past grudges with the Tang Family, there was no way Wei Wuya would have schemed against him so thoroughly.
“Heh heh, it doesn’t matter telling you now, since you won’t be alive much longer anyway!”
In Wei Wuya’s eyes, Tang Jinbiao was already a dead man. There was no need for concealment. He spoke plainly.
After pausing briefly, Wei Wuya continued, “I suppose you already know I’m from the Wei Clan? Hmph, regardless of whether you knew or not, I simply can’t stand the Tang surname! Because two years ago, that whore Tang Yilin insulted me!”
When mentioning the insult by Tang Yilin, intense malice shone in Wei Wuya’s eyes. Clearly, the nature of that insult had been extreme.
Thud!
Hearing Tang Yilin’s name, Tang Jinbiao’s heart lurched. Yet, he also felt a flicker of relief. He thought, “Seems that Tsundere Woman stirs trouble wherever she goes. But then again, being that beautiful, it would be odd if she didn’t cause some troubles. Did this Wei Wuya get S&M’d by her? No way, that cliché? So Cultivators are no different from Mortals, full of passions and desires.”
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Fuck your ancestors!”
To prevent Wei Wuya from suspecting anything, Tang Jinbiao still poured his utmost effort into screaming.
“Cough. Enough. Talking this much to you is useless anyway, you’re a dead man walking. Of course, to let you die knowing why, I’ll also tell you this: because you possess something Young Master Ma needs!”
Wei Wuya seemed unwilling to dwell on those painful memories. He didn’t continue further. Instead, a dark expression returned to his face as he slowly started walking towards Tang Jinbiao again.
“Good! I’ve been waiting for you! You want my eyes? Then I’ll take yours first!”
Seeing Wei Wuya closing in once more, Tang Jinbiao felt some tension grip his heart. Yet, his face still contorted in feigned pain as he yelled, “Ah! Ah! Ah! Old Dog Wei!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The space formed by the cyclone wasn’t particularly large, only about thirty feet across. Within moments, Wei Wuya had reached directly in front of Tang Jinbiao.
Thwack!
Wei Wuya raised one hand, forming it into a rigid hand-blade, coated in a thick layer of Qi Energy.
“Kid! Take your grievances to the King of Hell in the underworld!”
A vicious sneer twisted Wei Wuya’s face as he brought his hand-blade chopping down towards Tang Jinbiao’s neck!
This blow carried immense force. If Tang Jinbiao offered no resistance and let it land, his head would surely separate from his body, resulting in immediate death.
“Heh heh!”
Feeling Wei Wuya’s hand-blade descend, Tang Jinbiao showed no terror. Instead, a trace of ruthless amusement flickered at the corner of his mouth.
Thud!
Sensing something off about Tang Jinbiao, Wei Wuya felt a stab of unease. His body shuddered slightly, his movement freezing for a mere instant.
“Good! Now’s the time! Get in here!”
Seizing that split-second of Wei Wuya’s hesitation, Tang Jinbiao moved like lightning. Both hands shot out, grasping Wei Wuya’s legs. With a powerful yank, he flipped Wei Wuya over, simultaneously unleashing the Frost Qi within his body!
It immediately froze Wei Wuya solid!
Tang Jinbiao pulled him closer!
“Rise!”
Tang Jinbiao twisted his body. Mentally chanting, his entire form shot out of the crushing pressure zone of the immense cyclone walls.
Simultaneously, the Frost Silver Spear transformed into a streak of white light and flew out after him.
Bang!
As his body emerged, Tang Jinbiao seized the fleeting moment before the massive wall fully descended and kicked Wei Wuya back inside.
“Agh, no!”
Trapped beneath the colossal wall, Wei Wuya screamed in terror, frantically thrashing to escape. Yet the vicious Frost Qi had numbed his legs entirely, leaving him immobile.
“Hmph! Dared to mess with me? Your death will be excruciating!”
Watching the immense black wall crush downwards and Wei Wuya’s futile struggles, Tang Jinbiao flashed a smirk of triumph.
“No! Tang Jinbiao! May you die a wretched death!”
Wei Wuya shrieked with venomous hatred as the wall pinned him down.
Crash!
Despite his struggles, the wall slammed down mercilessly. The impact shook the ground violently—not even a drop of blood seeped out.
“Hmph. Weak. So damn weak. Trash! Who’s next?”
Seeing Wei Wuya utterly obliterated, Tang Jinbiao snorted contemptuously and strode toward the edge of the cyclone.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With Wei Wuya crushed, the surrounding cyclone began to fade, revealing glimpses of the outside world.
Though everything felt abrupt, Tang Jinbiao saw no cause for concern. He walked out nonchalantly, casting a passing glance at Jia Longwu.
“What? He’s the one who made it out?”
Nearby, Jia Longwu’s eyes widened in shock as the cyclone dispersed and Tang Jinbiao emerged.
“Hmph. Sluts remain sluts!”
Tang Jinbiao shot Jia Longwu a look of disdain before shifting his gaze toward Young Master Ma.
“You surnamed Ma! I’ve finished off that old dog Wei! You’re next!”
Tang Jinbiao roared insolently at Young Master Ma.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Young Master Ma remained unnaturally calm at Tang Jinbiao’s arrogance, his pale lips curling into a chilling smile.
“Hmph! That trash didn’t deserve my effort—I turned him to dust! Don’t think you’ll escape! You’re next!”
Tang Jinbiao yelled with defiant arrogance.
But beneath the bluster, he was already scouting an escape route. He cautiously extended his Divine Sense, mapping a path while a Talisman Paper materialized in his hand—the Stealth Talisman given earlier by Jia Longwu.
“Heh. Young man, don’t celebrate yet. If you doubt me, why not look behind you?”
Young Master Ma’s icy, mocking voice transmitted into Tang Jinbiao’s mind.
Thud!
The instant the voice faded, Tang Jinbiao sensed a disturbance behind him. His heart lurched. He threw himself forward in a desperate roll.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Too slow. Jagged waves of Qi Energy slammed into his back the moment he moved.
“Go die!”
An angry shout erupted from behind Tang Jinbiao. Immediately, dozens of bursts of Qi Energy blasted forth from two fists, hammering heavily onto Tang Jinbiao’s back.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Although Tang Jinbiao’s body surface had undergone Petrification, the Qi Energy emanating from Wei Wuya’s body was immensely powerful. Even if it were solid rock, it could shatter it, let alone Tang Jinbiao’s body which had only just begun to petrify.
In the critical moment previously, Wei Wuya had actually chosen Earth Evasion Technique, hiding within the earth. His plan had been to ambush Tang Jinbiao off guard. Unexpectedly, Young Master Ma’s shouted warning disrupted his plan. The relationship between him and Young Master Ma had always been delicate; now, because of this incident, his dissatisfaction towards Young Master Ma deepened.
“Argh! Argh! Argh!”
The moment those Qi Energy bursts struck Tang Jinbiao’s back, he was instantly blasted away. If not for the exceptional hardness of Tang Jinbiao’s body, those Qi streams could have punctured countless bloody holes in him. Moaning in agony, he flew backwards, only stopping after crashing into a Giant Boulder.
Spurt!
Tang Jinbiao involuntarily spurted out blood, staining a large patch of the Giant Boulder crimson.
“Hmph, thinking too highly of yourself, too clever by half!”
But Wei Wuya didn’t relent. With a shift of his feet and a sneer playing on his lips, he swiftly rushed to the side of the Giant Boulder. Aiming once more at Tang Jinbiao who was slumped against the rock, he unleashed another volley of Qi Energy bursts.
Boom!
“Argh!”
A particularly fierce Qi blast struck Tang Jinbiao’s back. His body convulsed sharply, and a cry of agony escaped him.
“Hmph, IQ with no lower limit!”
Wei Wuya snorted disdainfully and immediately sent out another stream of Qi Energy.
“Argh!”
Enduring the intense pain, Tang Jinbiao instantly mobilized the faintest trace of Qi Energy within his body, hastily dodging to the side. If he allowed Wei Wuya to continue such attacks relentlessly, even a Body Refiner would undoubtedly meet a gruesome death.
Boom!
Wei Wuya’s fist whistled past its intended target and slammed into the Giant Boulder instead, blasting out a small crater. Fragments of rock sprayed in all directions.
“Hmm?”
Seeing Tang Jinbiao unexpectedly manage to dodge once more, Wei Wuya’s brows furrowed slightly. However, he recovered instantly, a sinister smirk curling on his lips. Without pause, he launched fresh attacks towards Tang Jinbiao beside him.
“Argh!”
Tang Jinbiao grunted and dodged sideways again.
Boom!
Similarly, Wei Wuya’s fist found only air.
“Damn it!”
This time, resentment flickered in Wei Wuya’s eyes. Abandoning any thought of restraint, he accelerated, unleashing a rapid series of punches.
“Dammit!”
Sensing Wei Wuya’s murderous intent, Tang Jinbiao cursed inwardly, yet simultaneously dodged frantically away in the opposite direction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Yellow Qi Energy shot out relentlessly from Wei Wuya’s fists, accompanied by a constant whistling through the air. From a distance, the scene seemed nothing but a dizzying blur—yet Tang Jinbiao dodged each strike, moving untouched after the initial blows.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Over time, Tang Jinbiao tapped into a deeper rhythm, his movements growing increasingly agile. He evaded the energy bursts with ease and occasionally launched counterattacks.
Boom!
After sidestepping one streak of Qi Energy, Tang Jinbiao spun around and struck back. A burst of yellow Qi instantly hurtled toward Wei Wuya.
“Hmph!”
The sight of Tang Jinbiao retaliating ignited burning resentment in Wei Wuya’s eyes. He let out a disdainful grunt and punched the incoming energy head-on.
Thud!
Though Wei Wuya possessed a slightly higher Cultivation Level, Tang Jinbiao’s martial discipline balanced their strengths. Stalemate settled in. Wei Wuya’s combat experience slowly faded, leaving neither able to overwhelm the other.
“Cloud-Parting Palm!”
Recognizing the battle was slipping from his grasp, Wei Wuya finally snapped. He barked a low command and dropped into a solid horse stance, hands blurring as immense power gathered within.
Snap!
As raw aura radiated outward, a faint, flickering golden light began shimmering across his skin—ethereal, almost divine.
Thump!
Tang Jinbiao’s heart jolted with dread. He knew disaster loomed if Wei Wuya completed this technique.
Boom!
Seizing the moment, Tang Jinbiao flung fists wildly, blasting streak after streak of Qi Energy at Wei Wuya.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
But just before the onslaught landed, a layer of radiant gold manifested around Wei Wuya, shielding him like impenetrable armor.
“What?!”
Tang Jinbiao nearly felt his lungs burst with rage at the sight of the Protective Spirit Light. He roared and transformed into a streak of light, charging at Wei Wuya in full fury.
“Grrraaaaah!”
Madness gleamed in Tang Jinbiao’s eyes. Before the power of Ape Fist waned, he swung his massive arms upward, bringing fists like crashing boulders down relentlessly onto Wei Wuya’s skull.
“Not good!”
Wei Wuya’s eyes widened as he took in the terrifying arms. The golden light shielding him wavered with alarm—but the flicker of fear vanished instantly. A smirk of triumph curled his lips…
