"What did they do to make you hate them so much?"
Tang Luo asked. It was clear that this Sun Ang had a strong desire to vent, or perhaps to show off.
Even though the restrictions on God and Demon Walkers had loosened, it did not mean he could reveal his identity to others.
The identity of a God and Demon Walker remained a strictly guarded secret from the outside world.
The sudden appearance of Tang Luo, a colleague, had initially been a shock to Sun Ang.
But now, it had essentially turned into a delight.
After all, returning home wealthy without showing it off is like wearing fine silk in the dark...
Showing off in front of a little rookie could clear one's mind; why not do it?
Of course, Sun Ang was in no rush to speak.
He turned his head to look at the bedside, raised his hand, and made a beckoning gesture.
The ID card Tang Luo had placed on the nightstand flew into his hand.
Seeing the surprise, vigilance, and forced composure flashing across the face of the person before him, Sun Ang felt even more satisfied.
"Tang Luo, that's enough. I know your identity now." With a light chuckle, Sun Ang tossed the ID card aside.
The address on Tang Luo's ID card was indeed where he was currently staying.
"You still haven't said why you wanted to kill them, or what they did to make you hate them so much." Tang Luo walked over to the bedside and sat down to ask.
"You want to hear it?" Sun Ang said.
"Mm, I belong to the listening camp," Tang Luo said.
What to do when cultivation becomes boring?
Divine gossip is here to help.
Listening to gossip and chatting about it were both excellent ways to pass the time.
Even when cultivating, one needs a balance of work and rest.
In the past, during breaks from his own cultivation, Tang Luo had gathered plenty of first-hand information from Clairaudience and Clairvoyance.
Later, he even wrote a piece titled My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, written in the voice of Erlang Shen, Yang Jian.
It was widely popular, passed around by various immortals and buddhas, and greatly enriched the barren spiritual and cultural lives of those fellows.
It even received high praise and enthusiastic pursuit from its protagonist, Yang Jian himself.
He had chased Tang Luo for a full hundred thousand and eight thousand li.
The Greatest Writer of the Three Realms, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Tang Xuanzang, whose very silhouette could attract countless fans—that was none other than Tang Luo himself.
Sun Ang stared at Tang Luo and said with a smile, "Did you mistake my willingness to spare your friend for the sake of a colleague as me being a pushover?"
If he just spoke because he was asked, wouldn't he lose face?
"Mm."
Tang Luo pondered for a moment. "Then let's add a 'please.' Please, tell me."
"Hahaha."
Sun Ang burst into laughter. "Kid, you're quite interesting. You might actually make something of yourself one day."
"Alright, you're actually quite to my taste, so I'll impart a bit of senior experience to you," Sun Ang continued.
When he first came here, his intention was actually to warn Tang Luo not to meddle.
Just as he had said, he didn't truly hate Zhang Yuchou.
There was no conflict or contradiction between the two of them.
Since another God and Demon Walker had accidentally intervened, Sun Ang didn't mind letting him go.
Killing in secret was one thing, but having two God and Demon Walkers clash and fight, blowing the matter completely out of proportion, was another.
Of course, if Tang Luo didn't know how to read the room, Sun Ang wouldn't mind killing him either.
If he got lucky, he might even be able to loot some equipment.
It wasn't unheard of for a rookie to get lucky and receive equipment as a reward.
Sun Ang suspected that the item hanging around Tang Luo's neck might just be a piece of equipment.
Sun Ang was still very confident in his own strength and skills.
At the very least, he was very strong when it came to assassination.
He could chat slowly for now and decide on a final course of action depending on the situation.
Aside from his identity as a God and Demon Walker, Sun Ang was just an ordinary person.
His family background wasn't exactly destitute, but it wasn't anything to write home about either.
The only thing that set Sun Ang apart from the others was that he had found a rather pretty girlfriend back in university.
After graduating, the two of them did not break up.
They stayed in Xihang City together to make a living.
They even found jobs at the same company.
However, because the company prohibited office romances, both Sun Ang and his girlfriend chose to keep it a secret.
After leaving school.
The pressure of work and the worries of life caused a crisis in their relationship.
Of course, that is the more official way of putting it.
In Sun Ang's own words.
"That b*tch, we had a small argument, and she wanted to move out! Fine, move then! Even though I couldn't talk her out of it, I still paid a month's rent for her."
"But that b*tch, within a few days, actually started flirting with that piece of sh*t Qi Zixuan!"
"Just because Qi Zixuan is the deputy manager and his dad is the boss, he has a few stinking bucks?!"
"If it weren't for the restrictions, I'd be richer than them right now!"
Sun Ang couldn't help but get agitated when he said this.
In truth, if one were to look at it purely from the perspective of skills.
Even without any restrictions, it is not an easy task for a God and Demon Walker to use their skills to earn a fortune in a legal and reasonable manner.
Whether it can be done still depends on the individual and whether their skills are suitable.
Simply put, it was a story of being cheated on.
Sun Ang was in the middle of a cold war with his girlfriend when Qi Zixuan poached her.
Before that "supernatural confession" that was doomed to fail from the start, Qi Zixuan and Sun Ang's girlfriend had already hooked up.
The so-called confession was better described as a declaration of ownership and a show of force.
It was like occupying a piece of land in war and raising one's own flag.
It was just a pity that they had provoked the wrong person.
This act released the demon within Sun Ang's heart.
And so, everything that followed happened.
Besides the two "dog-like" lovers Sun Ang spoke of, the other two colleagues who died had also had conflicts with him.
One liked to gossip and had spoken ill of Sun Ang behind his back.
The other had once sabotaged Sun Ang, pushing his own work mistakes onto Sun Ang and preemptively striking by snitching on him.
Because he was good at buttering up the boss, the superior believed him and scolded Sun Ang.
Upon discovering that he did not disappear or get erased after killing someone.
Sun Ang decided to go all the way, venting all the pent-up malice in his heart.
As for Zhang Yuchou, he was just an extra.
Whether to kill him or not was entirely up to Sun Ang's whim.
After going on a killing spree in the real world, Sun Ang's mindset had completely changed.
Just like many God and Demon Walkers who look down from on high and treat people in mission worlds as NPCs, Sun Ang had begun to treat people in the real world as NPCs as well.
He had gone from being a "simp" to the complete opposite extreme.
"Have you seen a movie?"
Sun Ang said to Tang Luo with a smile, "About a hitman agency where the protagonist ends up slaughtering the entire company."
In his heart, he was that hitman.
He had gunned down all those damn bastards.
It felt so good.
"No." He hadn't watched a movie in many years.
If he dug deep into his memories, he might be able to find one.
But Tang Luo wouldn't bother searching his memory from "two months ago" just for this person.
"Tch."
Sun Ang stood up, looked at Tang Luo, and said, "I've said everything I need to say. You should have some idea of what to do now, right?"
Tang Luo nodded.
After staring at him for a while, Sun Ang opened the door and walked out.
For now, a warning was enough.
If this little rookie made any other moves, Sun Ang wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson again.
Observe for a period of time first.
Sun Ang was actually being "secretly protected" just like Zhang Yuchou.
Even if he were to make a move, it would be impossible to do so inside a hotel room.
Watching the suicide-bomber-truck Sun Ang leave and open the door to depart, Tang Luo picked up his own ID card and took a glance at it.
He walked into the bathroom and turned on the showerhead; the Merit Jade Lotus hanging on him flashed with an imperceptible light.
Invisible ripples swept across the surroundings.
The Merit Jade Lotus vanished from his clothes and appeared above Tang Luo's head.
However, at this moment, tassel-like rays of light were already cascading down from the Merit Jade Lotus.
This allowed Tang Luo to enter an "invisible" state.
Although Tang Luo was certain that this Sun Ang had not done anything to his person, he was not entirely sure if he had left any tricks elsewhere.
He entered the "invisible" state as a relatively safe precaution.
Tang Luo opened the door halfway, slipped out sideways, and closed it.
Walking quickly across the soft carpet, Tang Luo soon exited the hotel and followed the Sun Ang who had just left.
Sun Ang had no intention of taking a vehicle.
He walked along the street at a leisurely pace, his steps light and his posture unbridled.
It was reminiscent of the performance of Spider-Man after he turned to the dark side in the original Spider-Man trilogy.
He was almost dancing as he walked.
Sun Ang was in a state very close to that, albeit slightly more restrained.
After walking for about half an hour, he suddenly changed direction and headed toward a park by the roadside.
He then began to venture deep into it.
He walked to an area that was still under construction, where pedestrians out for an evening stroll would not wander.
Sun Ang stopped in his tracks and said loudly, "Come out. You've been following me for long enough."
Tang Luo raised an eyebrow slightly and looked around.
Besides him, there was someone else following Sun Ang?
Could it be the police?
That tracking skill was quite impressive; even he hadn't noticed them.
As for himself being discovered?
That possibility was less than one in ten thousand.
The "invisibility" of the Merit Jade Lotus.
It was absolutely impossible for Sun Ang to detect any clues.
The Greatest Writer of the Three Realms had countless fans, yet he had never been successfully cornered at his door and had no worries when traveling; the Merit Jade Lotus deserved much of the credit.
Following Sun Ang's stop and loud declaration.
The surroundings remained silent.
Tang Luo turned his head, expecting to see some stalker appear.
Then, two minutes of awkward silence passed.
"Heh... nobody."
Sun Ang chuckled softly.
This was a test—a test to see if that little rookie was following him.
The result was already out; there was no--
The figure of that little rookie appeared before Sun Ang's eyes.
The moment he saw Tang Luo, intense pain surged from his limbs.
Before Sun Ang could let out a scream, Tang Luo's right palm struck upward, slamming into Sun Ang's chin.
Sun Ang's scream turned into a muffled grunt as his body flew into the air and landed heavily on the ground.
The entire world was spinning and shaking violently.
Pain, nausea, dizziness.
Large patches of black spots flickered before his eyes.
"No, actually, there is someone."
Tang Luo looked at Sun Ang and said, "Surprised? Unexpected?"
"You?"
Sun Ang's vision was obstructed, and he could not clearly see the face of the person who had ambushed him.
But judging by the voice, this person was none other than that little rookie from just a moment ago!
To think he had actually capsized in the gutter?
Sun Ang felt endless regret in his heart, and at the same time, his fury began to surge.
He had let the guy go, yet this bastard didn't know how to be grateful and actually dared to return kindness with enmity?
