Chapter 2203 - 2199: Too Weak
Within the formation, Song Bei lifted his head to look at the phantom in the sky, a blue dragon roaring behind him.
"The Dark River Blue Dragon of the Water Dragon Tower? It’s nothing special."
The man wearing a golden mask snorted coldly. He reached out a hand, and the Dark River Blue Dragon let out a shriek, shattering into streams of immortal energy.
"I’ll hold them off for a while, you all leave quickly. Remember the looks of those with masks and report to the master."
Song Bei’s voice deepened significantly, yet his eyes were filled with fervor.
Feeling the turbulence of immortal energy within Song Bei, the man in the golden mask narrowed his eyes: "Lan Yancha, take Tang Ming away, he has seen enough. The following battles are beyond what he can handle."
A golden light enveloped Tang Ming. Lan Yancha’s body rapidly enlarged, transforming into a giant Blue Flame Cat, placing Tang Ming onto its back.
"Senior, can we watch from a distance?"
Tang Ming was witnessing a battle between Concentrating Spirit Stage and Nascent Soul Stage practitioners for the first time and wanted to observe, hoping to learn a few moves from the big man with the golden mask.
"Alright, with that guy there, we should be safe."
Lan Yancha nodded and hovered mid-air on a breeze of demonic energy.
But Tang Ming and Lan Yancha still underestimated Song Bei, who, despite being at the Nascent Soul Stage, could confront the golden-masked man at the Concentrating Spirit Stage.
The waves of clashing immortal energy made the surrounding mountains tremble, with massive stones rolling onto the central mountain path, dark flames and deep blue water waves bringing heat and cold continuously.
Tang Ming sighed inwardly, realizing his strength was still too weak. If he could be this strong, although Taoyuan World was vast, he could freely explore anywhere he wanted.
"Old Blue Flame, Tang Ming didn’t expect you hadn’t fled. You’ve truly found hell despite heaven’s open doors. Running into us, Tang Ming, you’re coming back with us."
Han Ya and Chu Li appeared suddenly in mid-air.
Stepping beneath Han Ya and Chu Li was a deep blue long snake.
This snake, unlike ordinary demon beasts, constantly emanated black demonic qi.
Lan Yancha’s eyes narrowed: "Old ghost Chu Li, you really did cultivate a Demon Technique. This must be a demonized demon puppet."
"Hahaha, Old Blue Flame, as expected of the spiritual beast of the Tower Master of Thunder Dragon Tower, your insight is indeed extraordinary. Yes, this is my demonized demon puppet; you’ll become just like this in the future."
A black demonic hand stretched out in the void, aiming straight for Tang Ming and Lan Yancha.
"Meow."
Lan Yancha let out a sharp cry, its blue fur wrapping around Tang Ming, with the demon energy surging and burning into blue flames.
Tang Ming lay flat on Lan Yancha’s back: "Senior, I can steady myself. You handle Chu Li, and I’ll deal with Han Ya."
"No way, Han Ya’s strength isn’t below the Nascent Soul Stage. You are too weak to be his opponent. Where have those masked guys gone? Dragged by one person for so long. Damn it."
Lan Yancha complained, but still opened its mouth and spat out a dagger.
With Tang Ming dragging it down, Lan Yancha’s combat strength clearly decreased significantly.
Sitting on Lan Yancha’s back, Tang Ming’s eyes quickly focused. He knew this couldn’t continue.
If this continued, he and Lan Yancha would both fall here.
"Senior, descend."
Tang Ming’s voice was hoarse, suppressing the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
Aware that Tang Ming’s emotions seemed off, Lan Yancha hastily sent a message: "Tang Ming, don’t worry. As long as we wait for those guys to free up, handling these two pieces of trash will be very easy. I’m from the Demon Clan; I can take it."
"Senior, descend. We can’t keep hiding. Rest assured, I will be fine, trust me."
Chapter 94: Desperate Counterattack
Tang Ming spoke in a strained voice, yet Lan Yancha could still sense the excitement in his speech.
With great internal struggle, Lan Yancha took a deep breath and directly descended to the ground.
Han Ya and Chu Li truly did not expect Lan Yancha would suddenly drop to the ground.
The ground, concealed by the forest, indeed favored Lan Yancha in battle. But with the forest’s cover, Han Ya and Chu Li’s chances of ambushing and killing Tang Ming greatly increased.
"Is this abandoning Tang Ming for self-preservation?"
A mocking smile appeared on Han Ya’s face.
Chu Li, however, shook his head: "Not necessarily, Tang Ming can’t fly in mid-air, what’s there to do? Landing gives them the chance to struggle a bit. Let’s stick to the usual strategy, one for each of us."
Chu Li tapped the demon serpent’s head, and the demon serpent let out a cry, descending to the ground.
On the ground, Tang Ming’s bone dart had already unsheathed as soon as they landed.
Sitting on Lan Yancha’s back, he was like a headless fly, unable to dodge or struggle, with his fate constantly in others’ hands.
But after landing, despite being more dangerous, Tang Ming felt he could take control of his own destiny.
"Watch your back."
Lan Yancha’s voice echoed in Tang Ming’s ear, and Tang Ming leaped to the side, just as a scimitar fell where he had stood.
Tang Ming’s eyes narrowed, following the scimitar, he saw Han Ya approaching.
"Chu Li, take Old Blue Flame further away; don’t interfere here."
Han Ya looked irritably towards Chu Li in the distance.
Tang Ming turned his head. Lan Yancha, after warning him, seemed to have suffered a loss, getting kicked in the chest by Chu Li.
"Tang Ming, you’re still too weak, huh. Elixir cultivation shouldn’t be overconfident. Look at now, not only are you about to die by my hand, but you’re also dragging down Old Blue Flame Cat. Considering your contributions to Tianpo City, I’ll give you a quicker death."
Han Ya sneered coldly, but his words made Tang Ming’s eyes turn blood-red.
"If you want to kill me, Han Ya, you’re underestimating me."
Rings of black light, like swirling black dragons, began circling around Tang Ming.
His veins bulged, eyes turned blood-red, and he seemed to have entirely transformed.
"Orochi Technique."
Maximizing his power, he then used the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique to release the evil qi belonging to the Thousand Evil Poison Technique.
Tang Ming appeared like a demon emerging from Abyss Land, his aura causing Han Ya to feel chills.
