Chapter 88: [Bonus chapter] Li Zhangyuan

'So, it is Li Zhangyuan...' Tang Yin thought.

When he saw him, he recognized him because he was in his memories.

He had been one of Ren Xiao's closest friends in the past, even when he was much older than Ren Xiao. But he was also the first one to betray him and betray his Ren family simply because of power.

It's just that he didn't know about Ren Xiao's 'death' because he had been traveling since Ren Xiao had escaped from the southern region.

But, although Tang Yin recognized him, he showed nothing on his face, instead, he showed confusion.

"Are you talking to me?" He asked doubtfully.

And Li Zhangyuan frowned.

"Hmph, who else am I going to talk to? Do you see another Ren Xiao here?" He asked angrily.

But still, Tang Yin continued to look doubtful.

"My name is not Ren Xiao." He replied.

Then Li Zhangyuan frowned more.

'Certainly, those huge scars look old even when blood is gushing from them. They don't seem to be new... Hm, it's also difficult for a cripple to escape from my father... Could it be a person identical to Ren Xiao?' He thought.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Tang Yin."

'How strange...' He thought but didn't notice that the person in front of him was lying.

Although, of course, he was.

It's just that he's a very good liar.

Tang Yin then helped lift Xie Meiyu as if nothing was happening, but she noticed something about him, so she looked at him for a moment but then looked away.

And Tang Yin then looked at the three in front of him. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Excuse me, Young Masters. But my partner is injured, I want to take her to the city to recover." He said and tried to turn around to leave with Xie Meiyu, but just at that moment, a strong pressure girded on both of them, preventing them from walking.

It wasn't as strong as the other one, but it prevented them from walking completely.

"Have I given you permission to leave?" Li Zhangyuan asked coldly.

And Tang Yin turned his gaze away.

Li Zhangyuan then smiled mockingly.

"You may not be Ren Xiao, but you look a lot like him. And I hate Ren Xiao and all his blood so much, so now I hate your face so much... How about we make a deal?" He asked, and Tang Yin looked at him.

"What deal?" he asked, and he smiled.

Then he looked at the person to the side, the one who had spoken before, and this one said something in his ear with a smile.

This person knew very well who Ren Xiao was to Li Zhangyuan, so he wanted to take advantage of his hatred, so he wouldn't have to do anything and get some fun. If possible, to win something big.

He had been looking for this beast for months, and when he finally found it, it turned out that it just died in the hands of two wastes? Heh, obviously, it won't stay that way.

There's no way that with his arrogance, things will stay that way.

Then Li Zhangyuan smiled and spoke.

"Easy, a third scar to stain your ugly face and leave an arm. Besides, you just stole an important beast for my brother, either leave treasures and your other three limbs... Or leave the beautiful lady." He said coldly, making Tang Yin frown.

'This dirty bastard.' Tang Yin thought angrily but could only shake his head.

Treasures? If he said he could leave one or two treasures, they would kill him to verify that he didn't have anymore.

His limbs? No way.

"I'm sorry, Young Master. I don't accept any of those conditions. My limbs I like and my face too, besides, I have no treasures on me. I'm just a normal little human. And my partner much less I will leave her, her beauty is unique and exclusive to me." Tang Yin replied calmly, surprising Xie Meiyu in the process, but she said nothing.

He was nervous and, of course, trying to find a way to escape, so he decided to buy some time, while he gave Xie Meiyu some signs to get ready.

But Li Zhangyuan simply shrugged his shoulders and summoned his spiritual weapon.

Soon, a Spiritual Sword materialized in his hand, and a huge spiritual energy shot out from him upwards.

"You have no choice in this and because of your answer, I have changed my mind. You are not Ren Xiao, but you look a lot like him and for that I hate you, so I am going to kill you just like I once crippled that ungrateful little bastard. Brother Yang, do you agree? You are the leader in this place." He said and looked at the indifferent man to the side of him.

He was the only one who had distinctive Sect clothing.

A member of the Ice Divine Sect.

He didn't care.

"You can kill him, but the girl is beautiful, don't touch her." He replied, and Li Zhangyuan smiled.

"That's just what I thought." He replied and then looked at Tang Yin.

"So, it's time to die, little guy." He said, and immediately, a strong current of spiritual energy began to wrap around his sword.

'Hm, a Spirit King... I think this will do.' He thought internally with a smile, and soon this smile widened on his face.

A hideous demon-like smile took over Li Zhangyuan's face.

Just at that moment, Xie Meiyu tried to speak to him.

"Young Masters... Just as you have a high status in the Great Sects, I also have a high status in the Alchemist Association, isn't it wiser to speak up?" She said as she took out her elder token and showed it.

Li Zhangyuan then lowered his gaze a little and looked at the token, but then arrogantly averted it.

"A little low-level elder token is of little use in front of us, Miss. Besides, don't worry, nothing will happen to you..." He said, and his smile widened even more.

'Ready.' He thought, and soon, an immense pressure girded all around.

The Power of a Spirit Emperor unleashed on a sword, with a demonic smile on its wielder, brought a deep sense of crisis in Tang Yin.

And this man instantly swung his sword horizontally towards Tang Yin, trying to cut him in half.

The powerful attack shot out from his sword as it traveled the distance as if it were nothing.

Just then, Tang Yin clenched his fists tightly and pulled out three small tokens from his inventory as he jumped back and shouted at Xie Meiyu to run quickly.

She also jumped backward launching all the attacks she could launch in a short time with all her strength.

Tang Yin threw a large amount of disorienting smoke bombs, poisonous smoke, explosives, and killer weapons all over the place and mostly directed towards the enormous power coming towards him, but...

This power simply went through all of this as if it were nothing.

Even Xie Meiyu's attacks were not very effective.

'Too strong!' She thought, and Tang Yin frowned.

"TANG YIN!" shouted Xie Meiyu when she noticed that the attack was about to hit them. She didn't worry about herself because the attack that was aimed at her had been reduced a bit by her attacks, but Tang Yin's wasn't!

For a moment, she felt despair when she saw that Tang Yin couldn't dodge.

So, she immediately ran towards him, but it was a bit far away...

Even so, Tang Yin was calm. His face showed no signs of fear, he thought reasonably, and soon, the three tokens he had taken out earlier appeared between the fingers of his right hand, and he focused his gaze on this powerful attack that was heading his way.

His calmness was worthy of admiration.

But, he was not so calm inside.

'...I hope it works...' He thought at that moment and quickly moved his right hand vertically towards where the power was coming from and threw the three tokens with all his might.

'USE THEM!' He shouted in his mind, and soon, a huge amount of spiritual energy emerged from those tokens and slammed hard against the huge power coming towards him in a huge explosion of spiritual energy.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The big explosion caused by this forcefully pushed Tang Yin backward, and all the wounds on his body opened up, so blood splattered the surroundings, but...

The power was not eliminated but split in two, and Tang Yin could only watch as that power collided with his body.

'Shit... He hit me full on...' He thought with intense pain, and both his hands shook at that moment, and from his sleeves flew countless smoke bombs, poison bombs, explosives...

Just at that moment, Xie Meiyu who had a large amount of blood coming out of her entire body from the blow she received when she was running towards Tang Yin, arrived and grabbed him to try to save him, but soon the spiritual energy crossed Tang Yin as a great number of explosions rang throughout the area, creating a huge wall of smoke.

This wall of smoke seemed to have been made intentionally. It practically surrounded the entire area in disorienting smoke, poison, and then another disorienting smoke and more poison.

She doesn't know if this formation was a coincidence, but Xie Meiyu took advantage of this to grab Tang Yin's body and leave as quickly as possible, even though her body was continually bleeding...
