Chapter 1668 - 1667: A Complete Victory
"Quick, go to the Yan Family and report that our Young Master was assassinated while on his way to celebrate Old Man Yan's birthday. Tell them to send someone to ensure justice for our Young Master."The few people accompanying Yan Shu didn't doubt him; they had been with Yan Shu for a long time. On the contrary, these people knew Yan Shu best. When facing Tang Rao alone, they were confident that Tang Rao was definitely not Yan Shu's match. But what about the other person?
Thinking of the man who claimed to also be under the Eastern Island King Law, just a glance from him made these subordinates incredibly apprehensive.
What they truly worried about was that after Yan Shu kills Tang Rao, the mysterious man might seek revenge for Tang Rao and turn against Yan Shu. At that time, if Yan Shu couldn't match him in battle, at least the Yan Family would back him up. But if they didn't report the news now and Yan Shu really starts a fight with the man, Yan Shu definitely wouldn't have any advantage.
Taking a step back, if anything happens to Yan Shu, the good days for these folks might just come to an end.
"Find someone from the Yan Family? We only have invitations and not much contact with the main Yan family. Besides, they are surely very busy right now. Who can we find?"
Right, the people from the Yan Family must be too busy to pay any attention to the life or death of a side branch member.
"No matter, first go cry to the old man. After all, Young Master is here to attend the old man's birthday feast. If something happens on his way, the old man, being brothers with Young Master's father, would surely not stand by while Young Master is in danger without saving him."
The two discussed for a long time, until Tang Rao and their side were almost done fighting, finally coming to a conclusion.
To go, they must first go to the Yan Family to seek reinforcements. Once reinforcement arrives, they'd be fine. If the Yan Family sympathizes with them and lets them stay in the Yan Family, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Ideals are plentiful, reality is sparse; they hadn't even left the inn before being blocked by a few seemingly ordinary passersby.
"Friends, since you're here, please wait a while longer. Your master hasn't left yet; where are you planning to go?"
"Are you that man's people?"
It's no wonder they speculated like this, for upon being blocked, they instinctively glanced at the handsome man. The handsome man merely smiled at them without further ado.
"Indeed, knowing who we are, shouldn't we sit down and have a good chat, perhaps even become good friends?"
An enemy is an enemy, how could they ever become friends?
What kind of international joke is this?
Looking at the inn's door, which was initially within reach, now feels farther than the horizon.
"Sit down. If you want to leave here, unless you want to have a fight with us brothers."
There's no way a fight would happen, since they are outmatched; in this regard, they are quite sensible.
Tang Rao and Yan Shu exchanged a few moves. Yan Shu saw his techniques being greatly limited within the inn, so gradually led the rhythm outside. Despite having seen through Yan Shu's intention, Tang Rao still followed the rhythm.
Anyway, regardless of the location, he wouldn't be restricted by the environment.
"Bringing me this far, aren't you afraid that when your rescue arrives, they won't be able to find you?"
Tang Rao, with a half-smile, felt it worthwhile for his first close combat engagement with the Yan Family people, even if just a branch member.
"Hmph, enough with the nonsense. Before caring for me, you'd better consider yourself first!"
The chilling killing intent once again surrounded Tang Rao. Caught off guard, Yan Shu scored a hit.
Yan Shu's sweeping attack struck Tang Rao's calf with such force that tears almost streamed from his eyes.
The bone in that leg probably already cracked.
"With your strength in the late Upper God phase, you're undeniably stronger than most people. It's been long since anyone managed to hurt me. You make a fitting opponent for me now."
Tang Rao took out an Elixir Pill to heal bone injuries from his Space Ring. Swallowing one, soon the pain was gone, and as Tang Rao engaged Yan Shu once more, the leg injury gradually completed its healing.
"Soon I'll show you not only can I be your opponent, but I'll also become your nightmare."
Yan Shu, having succeeded once, aimed for another success.
Due to the initial success, in subsequent bouts with Tang Rao, he acted more seriously than ever before.
With the calf bone no longer an issue, amid the intervals, Tang Rao slightly shook his back. The real form of Taotie on his back suddenly let out a low moan, deep yet filled with intense murderous intent.
The Taotie Hand revealed, a right hand alike shimmering with golden light.
Facing someone stronger than him, Tang Rao never deliberately hides his strength.
Either refuse to fight or go all out; that's always been Tang Rao's style.
The Taotie Hand, striking always draws blood, always takes lives, never of exception.
Compared to Yan Shu's sweeping attack, Tang Rao's Taotie Hand moved faster, aimed at Yan Shu, and despite Yan Shu's rapid evasion, half his body still suffered significant damage.
His bodily functions slowed significantly for several seconds before fully recovering.
"Look, isn't my love for you true? Obviously having the chance to kill you just now, I've held off, waiting for your recovery to keep playing, unlike you who wouldn't even mention it before attacking me, utterly lacking gentlemanly conduct."
Tang Rao, having injured him, still managed to complain?
Naturally, Yan Shu knew Tang Rao was insulting him. He wouldn't develop a good impression of Tang Rao for sparing him earlier, rather, his animosity towards Tang Rao deepened due to his words.
In a patch of open ground not far from the residents and homes, Tang Rao and Yan Shu battled from sky to ground, then back from ground to sky, until Yan Shu's eyes turned white, lying powerlessly with one last breath sustaining life, only then did Tang Rao cease his violence against Yan Shu.
"To say it's a late Upper God, yet so fragile, inferior even to my mid Upper God peak – disgraceful!"
Thump!
The breath Yan Shu had been sustaining nearly gave out due to another humiliation from Tang Rao.
So infuriating, when had Yan Shu ever felt so distressed?
"Don't get carried away, Yan Family won't let you off; they'll avenge me, and you'll meet an even worse fate, surely will!"
After those words, Yan Shu honorably breathed his last breath.
"Yan Family? If they don't come seek me, I'll actively seek them out. So feel free not to worry, old man."
Tang Rao clapped his hands, having just dealt with Yan Shu. The handsome man appeared before Tang Rao, startling him.
