Chapter 1087: Chapter 1061: The Enemy Comes Knocking
During this time, he hasn’t had much opportunity to cultivate the “Great Rift Vajra Technique”, so his progress with it was still at the Sixth Layer. This was thanks to taking a month to train in seclusion at the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect; otherwise, it would be even lower. Given Tangyu’s current Mystic Law Realm, Sixth Layer level, he could certainly cultivate the “Great Rift Vajra Technique” to a higher level, which would make him even stronger.
Besides this spell, further cultivation wouldn’t yield much improvement.
But good fortune didn’t last long, and even if Tangyu didn’t seek others out, naturally, some would come looking for him.
Whoosh!!!
A chilling sword light attacked from behind Tangyu, cold and cunning, clearly intending to defeat Tangyu in one strike. This sword strike wasn’t just chillingly cunning; its Sword Force was unusually fierce, clearly not the work of a weakling.
Faced with such a sneak attack, Tangyu’s lips curled slightly, showing no concern. However, being interrupted during cultivation was somewhat irritating to Tangyu. Anyway, attempting to advance from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh Layer of the “Great Rift Vajra Technique” in such a short time wasn’t realistic. Certainly, Tangyu hadn’t thought of achieving such a major breakthrough, only aiming for some improvement. Now interrupted, Tangyu also stopped cultivating.
Swish—
Tangyu suddenly turned, not dodging, and directly slashed with a sword. Golden light burst forth, the Great Rift Vajra, with one sword strike, tearing through the void. The frightening power of the Sword Force fiercely struck the attacker’s sword, with a clanging sound, sending the attacker’s sword flying away. This caused the attacker’s face to change dramatically, realizing something was wrong, but it was too late to retreat. Tangyu’s sword was already pointed at his throat.
He lost, very decisively, without the slightest uncertainty.
The attacker looked at Tangyu with a face full of dryness, thinking he could succeed in a sneak attack, only to realize he hit a hard wall, encountering such a formidable opponent.
“I lost!” The attacker admitted defeat.
Tangyu sheathed his sword, merely casting a disinterested glance at the attacker before turning away. This first battle was incredibly easy, without the slightest suspense.
In the following path, Tangyu experienced several more battles, all relatively easy and enjoyable. He didn’t even need to use his true strength, nor did he encounter an opponent who forced him to use the Pangu Axe Yin Yang Law Wheel. This couldn’t be blamed on others; it was just that Tangyu’s strength was too overwhelming. Even relying solely on the “Great Rift Vajra Technique,” his prowess reached the level of a typical Mystic Law Realm, Eighth Layer. With strength like that, few could match him.
After over a dozen effortless battles, Tangyu finally met a decent opponent, a prince from a small kingdom. His talents were genuinely good, cultivating four paths, Mystic Law Realm Sixth Layer. Although he hadn’t cultivated a Spiritual Art, he practiced extraordinarily powerful spells, their might not much weaker than that of Spiritual Arts. So this battle made Tangyu treat it seriously. After using the Pangu Axe, after dozens of moves, Tangyu also defeated the opponent.
“Impressive, indeed you live up to your reputation. It seems you do have the strength to compete with Yan Huohuo. It appears the gap between us is still quite large. However, losing to you, it’s worth it, making me more aware of my shortcomings. I didn’t feel it before, but comparing with you today, I realized I’m not much. Haha, Tangyu, losing to you today, I’m utterly convinced, and I hope one day, I can fight you again, even if I can’t win, at least not lose too badly.” The opponent was quite carefree, admitting defeat gracefully, which was commendable.
So, towards this man, Tangyu also felt a bit of goodwill: “Recognizing your shortcomings is a great gain; I believe you’ll become stronger, and I also hope for the chance to fight you again.”
“Haha, well, I’ll accept your good words, Tangyu. I dare not speak of others, but out of the thousand Inner Sect Disciple slots, I must at least secure one. We’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, so I’ll bid farewell for now. I wish you a good result and look forward to your exciting display afterwards.” The opponent said with a smile.
Tangyu smirked: “I certainly will.”
Just as the man left, two figures blocked Tangyu’s path, glaring at him with deep hostility, clearly unfriendly. From their gaze, Tangyu could distinctly feel the intense killing intent.
Seeing these two, Tangyu’s brows slightly furrowed: “Are you from the Liang Kingdom?”
A man in blue clothes snorted angrily, his eyes overflowing with killing intent, as if he wanted to eat Tangyu’s flesh and drink his blood: “You have some insight. I am the eleventh prince of Liang Kingdom, Liang Fengnian is my younger brother. You’re outrageously daring to kill a prince of Liang Kingdom—what should your punishment be?”
Tangyu smirked, coldly: “So what if I killed him? Those I kill always have one reason—they deserve it. Spare the nonsense, if you have the skills, come and kill me for revenge. If not, shut your mouth. I’m bound to become a disciple of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, what can your Liang Kingdom do to me? If you want revenge, come at me, I’d like to see if you dare to openly kill me.”
“Hmph, Tangyu, don’t be so arrogant. Even if I can’t openly kill you, do you really think that my Liang Kingdom has no way of dealing with you? You’re merely a kid in the Mystic Law Realm; for my Liang Kingdom to kill you is as easy as squashing an ant. You don’t get to be so insolent.” Prince Liang Fengqi of the Liang Kingdom said angrily.
Tangyu sneered disdainfully: “Whether it happens or not is not for your Liang Kingdom to decide. Even if you have the ability, you must actually kill me for it to count. Look, am I not standing right in front of you unharmed? If you can kill me, I’ll accept it. If not, I, Tangyu, swear to the heavens, I will definitely settle this debt with your Liang Kingdom one day, sooner or later. Whatever retribution you give me today, I will return one hundredfold in the future.”
“You, Liang Kingdom, better ensure you kill me, Tangyu. Otherwise, if you fail, eventually I will kill you. I’m not in a hurry; a gentleman seeks revenge, even after ten years it’s not too late. Ten years won’t do, then twenty, and if twenty won’t work, fifty years it is. You can continue provoking me, but I assure you, you will ultimately pay the price for your actions.”
Tangyu’s words were extremely resolute and ruthless.
That was always his personality. If people don’t mess with me, I don’t mess with them. If they do, I return it tenfold.
If the Liang Kingdom stopped here, Tangyu wouldn’t hold grudges; he’d pretend nothing happened. But if Liang Kingdom keeps causing trouble, Tangyu will certainly not be courteous. Once he has the power, he will ensure the Liang Kingdom suffers greatly.
These words sent shivers down Liang Fengqi’s spine, causing a wave of coldness in his heart. However, these words also deeply provoked him. He was a dignified prince of Liang Kingdom, and if a small fry could threaten him, wouldn’t the world laugh at him?
Thus, Liang Fengqi was furious: “Arrogant fool, ignorant and shameless. In front of my Liang Kingdom, you’re just a clown, daring to talk big. I bet you don’t even know how the word ‘death’ is written. Hmph, although I can’t kill you today, I must teach you a lesson. Kid, you’d better watch your step in the future, lest you get killed and don’t even know how it happened.”
Tangyu pursed his lips and replied unfazed: “Relax, anyone who comes to kill me never has a good ending; every single one only meets death. Like Liang Fengnian, like that Imperial Guard Commander, which one went back alive?”
Liang Fengqi’s face turned extremely ugly, it was like a slap to their faces.
Another man who had been silent also spoke coldly: “Your Highness, stop wasting words with this kid. Let me teach him a lesson.”
“You’re not his match; His Highness will handle this himself.” Liang Fengqi waved his hand. Although the man was somewhat reluctant, he didn’t dare defy Liang Fengqi’s words. He stepped aside, glaring at Tangyu as if he wanted to devour him.
With a flick of his wrist, a golden giant sword appeared in Liang Fengqi’s hand, evidently a top-grade magic artifact. A powerful aura burst forth. Liang Fengqi’s face was full of killing intent, his gaze ice-cold, entering a battle-ready state, becoming particularly serious.
Facing Liang Fengqi, Tangyu dared not be careless. After all, this guy had such confidence to kill him, his strength must surely be formidable, definitely far stronger than Liang Fengnian. At this moment, there was a bit of arrogance about him, naturally making Tangyu more cautious.
With one hand wielding the Pangu Axe and the other the Yin Yang Wheel, Tangyu was prepared to use his real skills if necessary.
As Liang Fengqi moved his giant sword, a brilliance of golden light erupted, illuminating the scene. The sword howled with dragon-like ferocity, mighty Sword Qi surged forth, shaking the heavens and earth. Merely from this Sword Force, it was evident that Liang Fengqi’s strength was truly terrifying. At least, Tangyu felt he wouldn’t be beneath Yan Huohuo. Of course, in the last battle with Yan Huohuo, he hadn’t seen Yan Huohuo’s true desperate moves.
Liang Fengqi made his move with apparent little reservation, a powerful strike with no hesitation. This was a battle between masters, coming out strong, often victory or defeat was decided within a single move.
Sss—
Liang Fengqi’s sword finally swung, slashing towards Tangyu. Golden Sword Qi oscillated outwards, piercing through space like tofu, cutting through in layers. One sword move instantly twisted into a Sword Qi Killing Formation, enveloping the surrounding void entirely, wielding horrific destructive power, intent on obliterating this entire void under his sword.
The power of this sword was truly terrifying.
Yet Tangyu remained unfazed, a cold look on his face. Both the Pangu Axe and Yin Yang Wheel moved in tandem, the Yin Yang Style fully unleashed. The power of the Undying Nine Transformations and his physical strength burst forth, elevating the might of Tangyu’s strike to an extremely formidable level, capable of contending with Liang Fengqi’s sword stroke.
