Overwhelming Power.


    I was thinking of asking your name but since you want to look at me with such a look, itll be better to kill you right here. TangWuyingsaid.


    The man who ordered the hit on his life for such an insignificant event stared at him straight in the face. The same man who he swore to end along with his entire ancestry stood in front of him. Just seeing him like this was enough to send his usually repressed emotions into a frenzy. He could just barely hold himself back from flying right into Tangs face. Even though he knew he stood no chance against him right now.


    He still hasnt found a sky-ranked magical treasure that couldpare to Tangs spirit weapon. Hes gained a few lucky items but nothing that could aid him in killing Tang. Meeting his worst enemy at a time like this was unlucky. But then again... he could find out how hepares to TangWuyingright now. He might not win but that didnt mean hed lose. All of his training has been for the day he kills this man. He couldnt refuse the temptation to see how he stacked up against him right now! If he ran away today, hed always run away from him in his heart. He could probably even be good enough to battle him to a standstill as long as he doesnt use that move that defeated Gong Jun.


    Then he would have to retreat, or his life would be forfeit before he could even blink. Back then when he saw TangWuyingpull off that move, he was part of the weak majority in the stands that couldnt trace his movements. Seeing thepersonhe hates most, surpass him more than he already has made him pissed beyond belief. His rapidly growing strength only made Xun train 10x harder than he already does. Now he would have his chance to see if thattorture,he calls training, needed to be increased.


    In a huge burst of wind,Xundisappeared from his previous spot and appeared in front of Tang, swinging his fist right towards his face! This surprise attack was used withall ofhis strength and speed! If this one attack connects, then itll do enough damage to weaken Tang! And if hes weakened, his chances of winning will be higher.


    Did you think that was fast enough to take me by surprise?Xunsfist was suddenly soaring right next to Tangs head, instead of towards his face.


    I missed...?Xunexpressed in disbelief.


    A surprise attack while holding nothing back was easily dodged by Tang. An attack that was quick enough to surprise another 9thstage Qi Gatherer was looked at as nothing more than child y in Tangs eyes.


    Youre thatLiuxianbastard, arent you? Tang asked as he allowedXunto go flying past his shoulder.


    Xunskillfully halted his lunge and turned around to face Tang.


    How did you dodge that?


    A veinproppedup on Tangs forehead.


    Daring to ignore my questions? Now I really must kill a disrespectful bastard like you, or I wont have any face left to my name. Gong, head to the tower without me. Someone has to teach these ignorant fools about respect.


    Well, if you say so Junior Brother. But before I go,XunLiuxian. Gong called out to him.


    Hm? If he had to face both Gong and Tang at once, this ce would be his grave. Running away from the both was a pipe dream.


    You dont know a person named Fu Kang, do you? A strange gazended upon him.


    No. I never heard of that name before.Xunresponded honestly.


    He looked almost disappointed thatXundidnt know of this Fu Kang.


    Well alright. Thanks for honestly answering me. If you manage to survive against my Junior Brother, Ill be sure to send in a good word to Xiao Hong for you. Heughed.


    You shitty two-faced fox! Whose side are you on!? Tang exploded at Gong.


    Haha, I''m just joking Little Tang. No need to get so upset. If you dont arrive at the tower an hour after I arrived, I''lle back to get your corpse. Gong innocently chuckled as he walked away.


    Tang threw his boomerang towards the back of his ally seemingly aiming to kill him. Why would he throw away his weapon when he was in the middle of a fight? Xun didnt understand it but he would surely take advantage of the current situation! Xun blew out air tainted with the qi that became a part of him since the merging with the ancient lung. The air was one with him. It could be controlled however he wanted it.


    And he would use it to send a flying punch towards the defenseless Tang! He created an air bubble in front of himself and with all of his strength, pulled his arm back and used his fist to strike out with frightening force! The bubble distorted from the impact and sent an invisible projectile straight towards Tang. This was truly an undefendable attack! If you couldnt see it, how could you defend against it?


    Did you think that I was weak without my sacred weapon? Just how much are you going to underestimate me? Tang suddenly appeared behind him!


    The intense pain shooting up in his now cracked ribs as he was sent flying away made him realize that maybe he was outmatched far more than he thought he was. As his surroundings turned into a blur, he saw Tang catching his spirit weapon and his back feeling like it shattered into a thousand pieces after smashing through several trees. How could there be such a difference between them? Such a giant difference in strength between two cultivators of the same stage...


    Xuns master was on the same level as Tangs master. The teachings hes received couldnt be any less than Tangs. There was only one reason why Tang could be this far ahead of him. It wasnt because of his background. Not because of his talent being higher than his. Nor was it because he trained harder than him. There was no way it was thest one.


    It was all because of that spirit weapon hes gained. Tangs level of martial artswasnthigh. Gong Jun easilyout skilledhim in their duel. The only reason he lost in their duel was because he was taken by surprise.Xuncould tell that his strength was only because of that weapon.


    Tang bing so strong because of that weapon caused all of his anger to bubble up inside his chest, creating a stuffy feeling inside him. A feeling that he couldnt control the more he stared at that arrogant look on TangWuyingsface. Having him stand over him like this, condescendingly looking down on him, enraged Xun! After what he did to him, he still had the nerve to look at him with those cold eyes!


    Not as strong as what I heard from them. Tang spoke, thinking back to the words his followers told him.


    But then again, it''s not like I was expecting much. If Xiao could be interested in trash of thislevel,then it shouldnt be too hard to have her fall in love with me. But the words of that annoying fox from earlier bothered him.


    Why would someone of Xiao Hongs standing be interested in trash like this? As far as he could tell, it definitely wasnt his strength. And if he wasparing looks then he didnt lose out to this weakling either. Did he hold some sort of secret that wasnt connected to his strength? His qi was rather strange but so was his own. A cultivator having unusual qi didnt mean they were powerful. It just meant that they practiced a rare or umon martial art. Tangs special qi was because of his connection to LordTyanir. So, he was a unique case as far as having different qi went.


    Could it be thatLiuxiansqi had a special connection to Xiao Hongs? Or was the background of his qi rted to the ancient blood of the Ice Giants? Just thinking about why Xiao was so interested in this guy pissed him off. It would be easier just to kill him and ask his father to send a marriage proposal to her family. Well,maybe itwould be too soon for a marriage proposal. His fathers city inparison to the powerful background of the Hongsisntequal in value. Maybe if he took over Crimson Ruby City, another cityparable his fathers, then it could be tempting enough.


    But in any case, leaving this guy alive would hold no benefits to himself.


    Making up his mind to deal with this annoyance, Tang heaved his giant boomerang above his head. Tang could sense that the trash was trying something with his qi but no matter what it was it wouldnt save him from his death. He brought down the Apostles weapon and prepared himself for the gory blood spray.


    If you reigned in that arrogance of yours then maybe you wouldve died less painfully. Tang sent him off with some wise parting words.


    Or at least he believed he did. But the sudden pain running up his jaw along with the ground quickly bing farther away made him think otherwise.
