Tang San watched Li Yifei's back, the killing intent in his eyes surging to the extreme.
Go to hell!
Without the slightest hesitation, he flicked his right wrist and swept his left hand across the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
Over a dozen steel needles, as thin as ox hair, carrying a faint blue light, silently tore through the air, shooting straight for Li Yifei's back and neck!
Sleeve Arrows!
Closely following were three rotating Piercing Bone Nails, forming a character-shaped pattern, sealing off all of Li Yifei's escape routes!
All of this happened in an instant!
Yu Xiaogang, who was standing by, hadn't even reacted before Tang San launched his most lethal sneak attack!
A trace of horror flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a morbid anticipation.
Kill him!
As long as he's killed, Xiao Wu's secret will remain a secret!
Tang San's face was already twisted into a ferocious and cruel smile.
He seemed to have already seen that in the next second, this man would turn black all over, collapse to the ground in pain, and be trampled on his face, begging to reveal Xiao Wu's whereabouts.
However.
The imagined scene did not appear.
The dozen or so poisoned Sleeve Arrows and the three Piercing Bone Nails, capable of piercing metal and cracking stone, mysteriously... stopped about half a meter from Li Yifei's back.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had firmly grasped them mid-air.
They hovered there, trembling slightly, but unable to advance another inch.
Time, within this small space, seemed to be completely frozen.
"This..."
Tang San's smile instantly froze.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes nearly popped out in shock.
What kind of ability is this?!
Is it a Domain?
No! Even a Domain couldn't make physical Hidden Weapons stop so eerily in mid-air!
"Is that all?"
Li Yifei slowly turned around. He didn't even look at the suspended Hidden Weapons, but instead gazed at Tang San with a look mixed with disappointment and disdain.
"Is this your proud trump card? Just some insignificant little toys."
As his voice fell.
He didn't even make a move.
The Sleeve Arrows and Piercing Bone Nails, suspended in the air, suddenly reversed direction!
Whoosh—!
With ten times the speed they came, carrying a piercing shriek that tore through the air, they shot back!
"Little San, be careful!" Yu Xiaogang roared in utter horror.
Tang San's pupils, at this moment, contracted to the size of a needlepoint!
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
He pushed his movement technique to the extreme, his body turning into afterimages as he frantically lunged to the side!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Blood flowers burst open on his body one after another!
Although he tried his best to dodge, he still couldn't avoid any of the Hidden Weapons. Over a dozen Sleeve Arrows and three Piercing Bone Nails fiercely embedded themselves into his shoulder, thigh, and arm!
"Ah!"
Tang San let out a painful scream and fell heavily to the ground.
The wounds instantly turned black, and a piercing pain mixed with numbness rapidly spread throughout his body.
This was the poison he himself had concocted!
He knew better than anyone how potent this poison was!
"How... how is this possible..." He lay on the ground, staring at Li Yifei in disbelief, his body trembling violently from the intense pain and fear.
His Tang Sect Hidden Weapons were actually... so easily countered, and even turned back to severely injure him!
This had completely exceeded his scope of understanding!
"Useless."
Li Yifei uttered two words, and his figure flashed, already appearing before Tang San.
He raised his foot and, without any mercy, stomped heavily on Tang San's uninjured leg.
Crack!
A crisp, teeth-grating sound of bone fracturing echoed!
"Ah—!!!"
Tang San's screams became shrill and inhuman, and he thrashed violently like a fish out of water, cold sweat instantly soaking his clothes.
"Stop!"
Yu Xiaogang finally reacted, roaring as he tried to rush forward.
"Luo San Pao, fart!"
However, Li Yifei merely glanced at him coldly.
Just one glance.
Yu Xiaogang was struck as if by lightning, freezing in place, his body cold, unable to even move a finger.
What a terrifying gaze that was!
It was as if he wasn't facing a person, but a bottomless abyss of the Universe, capable of devouring stars!
"You..." Tang San was almost unconscious from the pain. Gritting his teeth, he used all his strength to squeeze out a few words, "Who... who exactly are you...?"
"I originally intended to leave you for Little Xue and the others, but why must you insist on walking into the muzzle of a gun...?"
Li Yifei applied a little more force with his foot, and Tang San's screams intensified.
"Remember this feeling; this is the wail of the weak."
He looked down at the Son of the World struggling in pain beneath his foot, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"In your next life, remember not to always seek the Dao of death."
Li Yifei's voice was calm, as if stating an established fact.
He casually picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, enveloped it with his Spiritual Force, and gave it a slight shake.
Buzz—!
The air let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the burden!
The ordinary stone, the moment it left his control, broke the sound barrier, transforming into an uncatchable white streak of light, carrying terrifying kinetic energy capable of penetrating mountains, and shot straight for Tang San's head!
If this strike hit, Tang San's brain would instantly be pierced by the immense kinetic energy, killing him beyond dead.
However, after delivering this fatal blow, Li Yifei didn't even glance at the result.
His gaze seemed to penetrate layers of dense forest, looking towards its depths, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.
"It's him? What a pity, a bit late."
The moment his voice fell.
Boom!
Bang!
Crack!
A series of loud explosions suddenly erupted in the forest!
The supersonic stone, less than three inches from Tang San's glabella, collided with an invisible dark red barrier, instantly shattering into dust!
A terrifying shockwave spread out in a fan shape, plowing a deep gully into the ground.
Amidst the swirling dust, a robust and tall figure silently appeared before Li Yifei.
Li Yifei's gaze passed over the figure, his Divine Thought having already perceived everything.
Behind that figure, Tang San, who had just had his leg bone broken, been poisoned, and was on the verge of death, along with the terrified Yu Xiaogang, were standing there completely unharmed.
The poison on Tang San's body had receded, and his broken leg had recovered as good as new, though his eyes remained vacant, as if he were a puppet being controlled.
Immediately after, a faint dark red figure slowly floated out from Tang San's body and merged into the robust figure in front.
The newcomer wore a tattered black robe, was tall and imposing, with an ancient face and long, gray-white hair casually draped. His entire being exuded an aura of indomitable dominance and ancient wisdom.
It was none other than the King of Slaughter City, Tang Chen!
