Chapter 159 Tang Wurong

'Is this what people called when they said you and your lover share the same trait?' Yang Liqin wondered silently.

She was merely standing still, minding her own business without provoking anyone. Yet Tang Wurong unwittingly called her out and even asked for a spar.

Just how ridiculous was that?

"You are mistaken…um, what's your name again?" Yang Liqin asked. Of course, she had heard of her name from the crowd's muttering.

However, why should she remember it herself when she could ask for her name directly?

Tang Wurong didn't mind the question as she kindly replied, "My name is Tang Wurong from the Tang Clan. I was a soldier defending the Northern Continent from magical beasts and was recently called back to enter the ancient ruin."

Yang Liqin nodded her head.

'The Tang Clan is really not pulling their strength back. To think they would even call back this tigress to join the ancient ruin.' She thought.

Tang Wurong's name had long been infamous throughout the Northern Continent. She was a woman yet had the bearing of a mighty man.

Rumors had said that she once had a drinking game with 10 men and all of them collapsed while she could keep on drinking.

It also happened that her name managed to land on the ears of Yang Liqin, so she knew exactly what kind of person Tang Wurong was.

'It's the kind that I really have no interest in dealing with.' Yang Liqin clicked her tongue in annoyance. For some reason, she kept on encountering different types of annoying women in the ancient ruin.

She had just escaped from Huo Ning, and now Tang Wurong popped out of nowhere.

"Ahem, apologies, but I have no interest in competing with you whatsoever, Tang Wurong." Yang Liqin coughed slightly and responded to her provocation.

There was no point in fighting Tang Wurong and exhausting herself for no reason. After all, the Seven Night Star Flower belonged to her from the get-go.

No one else could snatch the things that she, Yang Liqin, wanted. The only exception to this rule might be her beloved, Jiang Ming.

"You should just move aside and find someone else to fight, Tang Wurong. Unlike you who waste time fighting on a battlefield, I much prefer to be relaxing and let my man do the work." Yang Liqin said, walking closer to the shore.

"Hmph, did you think I would let you go this easily?" Tang Wurong snorted coldly. She waved her long spear around, creating a powerful wind current, obstructing the path that Yang Liqin was trying to take.

"If you want to pass and snatch the flower, then you must defeat me."

"I'll say… are you brain dead?" Yang Liqin squinted her eyes as she casually snapped her finger.

Within a few seconds, the wind current created by Tang Wurong seemed to have vanished from sight, almost like it had never happened.

Tang Wurong wasn't surprised by her skills. Matter of fact, she had expected such an outcome when she obstructed her path.

"Heh, finally a worthy opponent for me after a long time." Tang Wurong's lips curled upward as she became excited. Her aura gradually rose higher, clearly ready to engage in a fight against Yang Liqin.

Yang Liqin remained calm as she raised her finger up.

Just when Tang Wurong thought she was making a move, Yang Liqin suddenly said, "Those three people that stayed behind had started swimming across the lake. Are you sure you want to continue to idle around here while they reap the benefits?"

"W-What?!" Tang Wurong was dumbfounded as she tilted her head to take a glance. Sure enough, she noticed the three people had swum across the lake and were approaching the Seven Night Star Flower.

"Damn you, cowards!" She cursed aloud and made a 180-degree swinging motion with her long spear.

An arc of light was created and a powerful fluctuation was released from the spear. The direction of the arc was naturally at the three people that had tried to take advantage of the situation.

"Watch out Wen Jun!" A person shouted in panic.

"Hmph, just a mere ordinary slash of a hot-headed woman." The person, Wen Jun sneered coldly as he retrieved a small token and activated it. With the activation, a light barrier was created, deflecting the strike made by Tang Wurong.

Tang Wurong clicked her tongue in anger when she saw her attack being deflected. "As expected of the cowardly Wen Clan. All they rely on are magical items and nothing else."

She no longer dared to hinder Yang Liqin any further when there were some unhonorable men trying to reap some benefits in the chaos.

Her movement speed increased as she leaped toward the sky, clenching the hilt of her long spear as she prepared to clash with Wen Jun and the other two people.

Meanwhile, Yang Liqin casually hid her presence as she took another path toward the platform.

'Bunch of idiots. No wonder why Jiang Ming always comes back with a headache. These people really don't use their brain cells a bit.' She thought.

Sometime later, Yang Liqin arrived at the platform with ease while Tang Wurong was still fighting Wen Jun and his team.

She ignored their fighting and focused her eyesight on the Seven Night Star Flower.

It was an orchid type of flower with exactly 7 petals. It emits a sweet fragrance, but Yang Liqin knew it was a poisonous fragrance.

The people who had their guards lowered down would instantly be paralyzed once they accidentally sniffed the fragrance.

However, the most terrifying thing about the Seven Night Star Flower wasn't about the poison fragrance, but the magical beast guarding it.

From where she was standing, Yang Liqin could tell if she had taken one more step forward, then she would have alerted the magical beast that had been hiding beneath the lake.

'Hmm, should I alert the magical beast toward Tang Wurong and the others?' Yang Liqin rubbed her chin softly.
