Tang Lie sneered. "You? You think you can take my life?"
"Back when I was in the Tang Sect, I was far stronger than juniors like you. All these years, I never stopped cultivating. My strength has long surpassed what it was then. You are no match for me!"
As the two faced off, Lin Taichu seized the chance to rush into the room. He shut the door, cutting off Tang Lie's escape route. "Tang Lie, you betrayed the Tang Sect. Your crimes deserve death. Today, even if you had wings, you wouldn't escape!"
Tang Lie's gaze darkened when he saw Lin Taichu. He had long heard Lin Taichu's name and knew he was a talented disciple who had risen to prominence in the Tang Sect over the past few years. He had performed outstandingly in battles against the Dark Race and possessed formidable strength.
But Tang Lie did not take him seriously. He merely sneered. "Lin Taichu? What can you do even if you join in? Today, I'll see just how capable you Tang Sect Disciples really are!"
The moment he finished speaking, Tang Lie immediately circulated his inner energy and charged at Lin Taichu and Tang Ying. His strength truly was formidable—far greater than Lin Taichu had imagined. His inner energy was deep and abundant, and his attacks were swift and fierce, carrying a sharp, imposing force.
Lin Taichu and Tang Ying did not dare let down their guard. They immediately joined forces to fend off Tang Lie's assault.
Lin Taichu circulated Profound Iron Strength, clenched his hands into fists, and struck at Tang Lie. Every punch carried powerful inner energy. The three began a fierce battle within the room, but with the doors and windows shut and few guests in the inn, no one outside was alerted.
