The two youths exchanged nces. They didn’t expect that the terrifying expert in front of them would make such a request.
Could it be that he had a grudge towards his own disciple? Why did he force them to go all out to kill his disciple?
Tang Ang swiftly cast a technique and unleashed the immortal sword stored in his body towards the two young men instantly. He realized that his Master’s order meant that he must kill these two people, or he would be killed by them today. This order was both a way to hone himself as well as a trial for him.
“Kill...”
The two young men no longer hesitated. The desire to survive became a trigger and drive to go berserk. They weren’t saints. Their hands were stained by blood. Even their Master ended up like a dead stray dog in the hands of this man. Hence, the only chance for the two of them to survive was to kill this young man, hoping that this youth’s Master would keep his word.
“Lightning Rune!”
In nearly a sh, they took out two paper runes from their sleeves and activated it, hurling lightning bolts directly at Tang Ang.
Standing more than 10 meters away, Tang Xiu’s eyes instantly narrowed. He noticed that the lightning runes activated by these two youths were unexpectedly paper runes he refined himself and were auctioned out at the Genesis Auction House three years ago.
“Interesting.”
A smile crept up on the corner of Tang Xiu’s mouth as he observed the two youths who were full of desire to kill.
Tang Ang had never had a life-and-death fight with cultivators and was shocked when facing dozens of hurling lightning bolts that sealed off all the space around him. Even if he were to quickly retreat, his speed wouldn’t be able to beat the speed of the lightning bolts.
“Decagon Killing Sword!”
Tang Ang steeled his heart and instantly manipted his immortal sword and formed 10-sword-beam formation. His body shook violently when the lightning bolts bombarded the sword beams array, causing him to take a few steps back before he was able to stabilize himself.
<i>Creak, creak...</i>
The two youth’s figures began to change at the moment, revealing a pair of fangs and sharp nails. At the same time, a pair of wings instantly grew on their backs. The moment they pped their wings, two streams of ck energy turned into sharp arrows and hurled toward Tang Ang lightning-fast.
<i>They are vampires?!</i>
Tang Ang had never seen a real vampire before. He only heard that this race existed in some European countries. He even heard that some vampires had a deep friendship with his Master.
“Psychic Wave!”
Lackingbat experience, Tang Ang used offensive moves like a defensive one to block the series of lightning bombardments and resisted the iing dark energy arrow. At the same time, he also exhibited another type of strike that he was good at.
<i>Buzz...</i>
The two vampires attacking Tang Ang suddenly trembled and let out shrieking screams, causing their dark energy arrows to disperse.
Meanwhile, Tang Ang’s figure lunged and streaked up into the air tens of meters high like a cannonball. He then unleashed the Decagonal Sword Array move once again. This time, he used the move not to defend but to take the initiative tounch a strike.
<i>sh, sh, sh...</i>
Bloodstains appeared on the two vampire’s bodies. But both of them had richbat experience and quickly brandished their staffs to form a huge shield with their dark energy, blocking the iing sword beams. At the same time, they also continuously released dark energy arrows at Tang Ang from both sides. The bizarre trajectory of the arrows caught Tang Ang off guard, causing the dark arrows to explode as they hit his chest.
<i>Puah...</i>
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, the jade pendant on Tang Ang’s chest shattered and eventually turned into dust, dispersing in the wind.
“F*ck! Off!”
The immortal sword flew back to Tang Ang in a sh. The sword beams it created blitzed like lightning bolts, dispersing the dark energy arrows. However, the moment he was off guard yet again, two sharp feathers followed the next iing countless dark energy arrows and straightly hit his left arm and right chest.
<i>I gotta calm down and keep my head cool! Mybat experience is not as rich as theirs, but I’m faster and stronger than them. If I can observe their moves with a cool head, I can definitely find the ws in their attacks and thenunch a counterattack.</i>
Although he was injured, he forced himself to calm down. His eyes turned sharper. As his trembling body stabilized, he used his spiritual sense tounch another psychic wave attack, causing the two vampires to scream and flee.
“me...”
Casting another technique, Tang Ang conjured mes out of thin air and then turned it into a fire rain. The overwhelming attack blotted out the sky and oppressively crushed towards the two vampires.
“Wind...”
A rolling twister appeared around the me out of nowhere and formed a ming twister as though a ring of fire halo around the sun, causing the speed of the mes to increase by several folds.
“de...”
The moment his immortal sword hovered and surrounded Tang Ang’s body and destroyed the barrage of dark energy arrowsing at him, a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. It was a dagger—a self-protection type dagger given by Master’sdy, Kang Xia, who personally picked it up in the Nine Dragons Ind’s treasure vault.
“I’ve never killed anyone, but I’ve in hundreds of fierce beasts. Now that you’ve turned into beasts, then I’ll reap your lives!”
He had the advantage in speed and quickly pursued along with the rain of fire twister, appearing in front one of the vampires in a sh. As heunched a meteor-like punch into the rain of fire twister, the violent punch was magnified dozens of times and bombarded the vampire. He quickly bolted forward with the dagger in hand and pierced one of the vampire’s wings the moment thetter was forced to retreat.
“BURN!”
A me blob suddenly appeared on the vampire’s wounded wing. In nearly a sh, the me zed and swept across the whole wing.
“Aaargh...”
The extreme pain caused the vampire to shriek and scream miserably, but the response that greeted him next was meteoric sword beams that pierced his body.
“BROTHER!!!”
The other vampire never dreamed that his big brother would be pierced by their opponent in such a fashion so quickly. Although he knew that the Bloodkin had abnormally strong bodies and wouldn’t die as long as their Core Nucleus wasn’t destroyed, his brother’s miserable state caused him to nearly lose his mind.
“Feather...”
He pped his wings and a band of feathers instantly shot forward. With the speed doubled and with the addition of the dark energy arrows, they appeared in front of Tang Ang in the blink of an eye.
Life and death had never been so close as in this moment.
Tang Ang could even sense the impending shadow of death looming over his head. Unfortunately for his opponent, he didn’t panic because he knew that he would be closer to death if he lost his calm. While watching the iing dark energy arrows and feathers resolutely, his fingers constantly moved as he cast a secret art. In the next moment, the fire twister all over the sky instantly condensed and formed a ming sword covered by twister me.
It was a magical skill he created himself after enlightenment fighting the fierce beasts in the pocket world. The me sword shed and cut the vampire’s body. The moment it shed the vampire’s body, the speed of the feathers that filled the sky sharply dropped by several folds.
“Block!”
The instant after, he instantly manipted his True Essence energy to form a transparent shield in front of him and then coughed a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward and fell to the ground. If it wasn’t for his tough body after having undergone tempering, he would have turned into a meat pulp from the heavy fall.
“Hmph...”
Tang Xiu, standing in the courtyard, saw the vampire with one wing destroyed not even care about his brother’s death and flee when Tang Ang fell. He immediately threw a dagger and directly crushed the Core Nucleus in his body.
Afterward, Tang Xiu appeared in front of Tang Ang and lifted him from the ground. While looking at Tang Ang’s scarred state with a disappointed expression, he shook his head and said, “You would have died if that fleeing vampire chose tounch a powerful attack against you. You failed this trial. I want you to work more diligentlyter and not let me see another defeat.”
<i>Cough, cough...</i>
Tang Ang coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He suppressed the violent and chaotic energy inside his body and replied with a depressed face, “I’ll keep it in mind, Master. I’ll definitely work harder to temper myself and increase mybat experience.”
Tang Xiu nodded in response and took out a Holy Healing pill. He stuffed it into Tang Ang’s mouth and said, “You have half an hour to recuperate, then we’ll continue our trip. I’ll give you other chances to fight in the next two months, from which you must learn how to survive. As long as you survive, you’ll be able to adapt to the bloody storm when we arrive in the Immortal World in the future.”
A firm and resolute look filled Tang Ang’s eyes. He knew that his Master was disappointed in him this time. Given his current cultivation level, he should’ve been able to kill the two vampires with ease.
After half an hour, Tang Ang jumped up from the ground and respectfully said, “My injury has mostly healed, Master.”
Tang Xiu nodded and ordered. “You have another half-hour to recall and reflect on the previous fight. I want you to give me at least three ways to easily kill the two vampires half an hourter.”
Tang Ang then sat cross-legged on the ground. His expression turned thoughtful and his eyes kept flickering.
He recollected the fight bit by bit and analyzed it again and again.
Finally, the first method that could easily kill those two vampires took shape in his mind and a look of shame appeared on his delicate face.
A few minutester, he was able to deduce the second method.
15 minutester, he deduced the third method, but he didn’t stop his analysis and continued to deduce more. His analysis speed turned faster as time passed. In just half an hour, he hade up with 11 methods to easily kill the two vampires. An ashamed expression then covered his face as he lifted his head to look at Tang Xiu.
