Chapter 96: The Crisis of Settling Down
Tang Song listened and instead of getting angry, he smiled and said: "You two are really fearless because of your ignorance! Don't you know how Baimu died? He was just like the two of you, ignorant, that's why he died."
The man in blue sneered and said, "Tang Song, this set of tricks might work on kids, but don't think you can fool us. We know all about how you killed White Eye back then - it took a lot of effort. And now you're only at the mid-stage or late-stage of Wu Shi? Haha!"
That tone, that attitude, is simply contempt for Tang and Song.
The man in the green robe also said, "That's right, now we have two late-stage martial artists, Tang and Song. We're not underestimating you, even if you are a top-notch late-stage martial artist, you can't escape our pursuit."
Tang Song was completely speechless. Were these two really idiots? No matter how you put it, he had made a name for himself in the imperial capital, and even as a late-stage martial artist, he had killed several assassins. Had they never heard of him?
He didn't know that these messages were either blocked or distorted into different versions. The most credible version was that Tang Song encountered an assassin and was saved by his master.
So both of the White family's martial artists thought that Tang Song's cultivation was only around mid-level among martial artists, and even if he made a breakthrough after entering the secret realm, he would still be just a newly promoted late-stage martial artist, how could he compare to their kind of veteran late-stage high-ranking martial artists?
Tang Song didn't want to get entangled with these two idiots, he still had to go save An Shizi and An Suxin. The people of the An family were all good to him, especially An Shizi and An Suxin, Tang Song owed them a favor after all.
The Wu Ling realm warrior's aura was released, and a faint voice said: "You two idiots, take a good look!" He took big strides forward and directly punched one of the two people.
When they sensed the aura of a martial artist in the Wu Ling realm on Tang Song's body, the two white-clothed martial artists were already stunned, with only one thought in their minds - that was impossible. How could Tang Song possibly advance to the Wu Ling realm?
Even if a martial artist has reached the peak of perfection, it will take at least several years to break through to the realm of Wu Ling. Entering a secret realm is not that effective. After all, breaking through to the realm of Wu Ling requires condensing one's spiritual consciousness, which is a cultivation of the soul. Many martial artists are stuck at this point for their entire lives and cannot make any progress.
But by the time they reached Tang Song, after just a few days of entering the secret realm, they had already broken through to the early stage of Wu Ling, which made them feel very unbalanced in their hearts, and subconsciously thought that Tang Song was deceiving them.
But the aura of the Wuling Realm cannot be disguised, and Tang Song has already launched an attack. Is it true? Just try it to know.
One of the warriors let out a loud shout and opened his fist to fight Tang Song. He shouted, "Let me weigh your weight!"
Crack! Crack!
As soon as the two came into contact, the White Family warrior's arm was broken, and his strength was no match for Tang Song. After Tang Song's fist broke their arm, he directly punched the White Family warrior in the chest.
Bai Jia's warrior flew out and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, his life or death unknown.
Another green-robed warrior was stunned, a master of the late martial arts period, and yet he ended in such tragedy? An Jia's disciple was also shocked. He had heard that Tang Song's strength was very powerful, but it was all hearsay. The only time he saw it with his own eyes was when Tang Song fought against Bai Mu, so he didn't have a direct understanding of Tang Song's strength.
Now, he finally saw it, a master of the Martial Spirit Realm, Tang Song was actually a master of the Martial Spirit Realm.
"My goodness! He's only 15 or 16 years old. At this age, he's already a master of the Wu Ling realm. Poor Chu Tianying, known as the number one genius of the Three Kingdoms, is only 16 years old and has just reached the late stage of Wu Shi. Compared to Tang Song, he's simply rubbish!"
The warrior in blue finally came back to his senses and immediately turned around and ran away.
"You think you can run? You're dreaming!" Tang Song snorted, stepped forward and punched the back of the green-robed warrior.
Hmph!
A warrior in a green robe spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with some fragments of internal organs, his eyes wide open, slowly turning around, refusing to die. He had originally come to achieve great merit, but hadn't expected to lose even his own life here, the contrast was too great.
Tang Song took down the two White Clan warriors and said to the An Clan disciples, "Take me to find An Shizhi and the others."
An Jia's disciple came back to his senses and hastily said, "Yes, yes, yes." At this moment, he didn't dare call Tang Song Tang brothers again, calling Tang senior was also too embarrassing, so he could only gloss over it.
Under the leadership of An Jiazi, in just over ten minutes, he had already arrived at the place where he and An Shizhi separated. The scene before him was one of utter chaos, with signs of fierce fighting everywhere, a testament to the intensity of the battle between the two sides.
"Where did they go?" Tang Song's heart was anxious, his spiritual sense spread out, but he couldn't find any trace of An Shizhi and the others.
An Jia's disciple was also anxious and said, "I don't know either. I just got separated from them here. At that time, we were ambushed by them, and many people were scattered in an instant. I only remember that when I ran away at the time, the young master and others went in that direction."
"Over there?" Tang Song looked in the direction that An Jia's disciple was pointing, "Could it be that they're planning to return to the first layer of the Secret Realm? This isn't a bad idea, once we reach the first layer, everyone will be teleported to different locations. As long as we wait for two days, we can leave safely."
"Let's go, we'll follow these traces and see." Tang Songling wiped the road, his eyes fixed on the marks on the road. The footprints on the road were very chaotic, obviously many people had walked here, it should be a large troop withdrawing from here.
All the way, the traces were not erased, which was convenient for Tang Song and others. The Bai family must have thought that no one would come to rescue them, so they didn't think of erasing the traces at all.
"Huh?" After more than ten minutes, Tang Songling suddenly discovered a figure lying on the ground, unconscious.
"What's wrong?"
"There's someone lying on the ground ahead, don't know what happened, let's hurry over and take a look." As soon as Tang Song mentioned the direction, they immediately increased their speed.
The two of them quickly arrived at the side of the man lying on the ground. An Jia's disciple hastened his pace, and the two of them moved him over. He exclaimed: "This is our An family member."
Tang Song knew that things were going to be troublesome, since someone had already died, it meant that the White family and the people of the two-country alliance would definitely not give up now, they would not rest until they achieved their goal, otherwise they would have no way to explain themselves to the Anshan royal family after they left.
"Hurry up!" If Tang Song's guess was correct, the Bai family and the two-country alliance would definitely not let An Shizi and his group pass through from the second floor to the first floor safely.
As expected, many bodies were left along the way, including those of the An and Bai families, as well as the coalition forces. Fortunately, among them were no corpses of An Shizhi and An SuSu, which brought some comfort to Tang Song's heart.
In order to find them as soon as possible, Tang Song had to speed up again, and An Jia's disciples were already a bit unable to keep up. Tang Song said: "You follow the trail down, I'll go ahead first."
"Brother Tang, you must save Su and the others!" An Jia's disciple shouted loudly.
Tang Song responded with a sound, and the figure disappeared from An Jia's disciple's eyes. An Jia's disciple let out a sigh of relief, with Tang Song, this Wu Ling realm expert going to assist, Su Su and the others would definitely be fine.
An Su Su as the most outstanding genius of this generation of An Jia, can be said to be the hope of An Jia, so no matter what, the people of An Jia all hope that she can be safe and sound.
In the second layer of Anshan Secret Realm, a group of people from the An family were led into this valley. Initially, An Shizhi and others had made up their minds to teleport to the first layer. However, they were soon discovered by the Bai family and the two-country alliance, who divided their troops into three routes, surrounding and intercepting them, forcing all the people of the An family into this valley.
This mountain valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, all of which are steep cliffs. There is only one exit in the front, and now the White family and the people of the two countries' alliance are blocking this exit.
The people who settled down knew that if they couldn't get through this day, they would all die here, so one by one, they fought fearlessly to the death, causing significant losses for the White family and the two-country alliance.
In the valley, a bloody atmosphere pervades, and the air is stained with a layer of red. The casualties on both sides have reached dozens, this is absolutely a battle of unprecedented tragic deaths.
Some young disciples couldn't stand the bloody atmosphere and vomited on the spot. The battle hadn't even started, but their combat strength had already lost half of it. Fortunately, both sides had such non-combat casualties.
Only those with a strong will or slightly older, who have experienced some trials and tribulations, would not be affected by this environment. While Chu Tianying and Chen Ruyu were also encountering such a scene for the first time, they remained much calmer.
At this moment, outside the valley, the three leaders gathered together. Bai Yang, Chu Tianying and Chen Ruyu sat solemnly, the atmosphere was a bit heavy, discussing what to do next?
If a strong attack is launched, the damage will be too great, and which side launches the main attack needs to be negotiated. After all, the force that takes the lead in the attack will definitely suffer the most severe losses.
Chu Tianying and Chen Ruyu meant that the Bai family should take the lead, after all, this matter was initiated by the Bai family. Although they were assisting from the side, they were acting on the orders of their elders. Until now, neither of them could understand why they suddenly had to unite with the Bai family to annihilate the young disciples of the An family.
Bai Yang, as the one in charge of the Bai family, would not let his own hands go to take on the main attack. Not to mention that the Bai family's strength was originally inferior to that of the Chu and Chen families, and even less than that of the An family. Going to take on the main attack would be completely letting them go to their deaths.
So Bai Yang still wanted to persuade Chu Tianying and Chen Ruyu to lead the main attack, with them two at the forefront, the loss would definitely be much less.
Bai Yang's gaze lingered on Chen Ruyi's stunning face for a moment before he spoke up, "Tianying brother, Miss Chen, you've seen the strength of our White family. To be honest, this place has too many restrictions, and we can't alert the An family, so we had to let these people in. If we were to take the lead, it would be impossible to take them down in a short amount of time, and when they leave..."
