Humiliating Tang San

"Cao Yan, what are you trying to do?" Tang San cried out in terror as he watched Cao Yan steadily approach him.

He was completely unable to move, lying on the ground like a dead dog at someone else's mercy. Barely clinging to life, he looked as though he could die at any moment, a truly miserable sight.

"Heh, what am I doing? Of course, I'm here to humiliate you."

"You trash, don't think you can act without restraint just because you have Innate Full Soul Power. Let me tell you the truth: you're nothing. If I wanted to, I could take your life right now." Cao Yan's voice was cool and cruel as he stepped forward and planted his foot directly on Tang San's face.

"You! How do you know my secret? Wait, weren't you injured by my sleeve arrow? You were pretending?"

Tang San's eyes widened, filled with shock. He could not understand how Cao Yan had seen through the greatest secret in his heart so completely. What was going on?

"Heh, you think trash like you can hurt me? What a ridiculous dream. Don't think that having the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record lets you swagger around and shout in my face. Let me tell you, if I want to, I can make as many sleeve arrows as I please." Cao Yan continued to mock him coldly.

"What?! What did you say?! How could you possibly possess the secret arts of my Tang Sect?"

Tang San was utterly panicked now. He desperately did not want to believe Cao Yan, but he had personally witnessed that girl use a Hidden Weapon from the Tang Sect's secret arts. Its power had been anything but weak.

Could it be that Cao Yan had not lied to him?

"Heh, believe it or not, I want you to know this: every step you take against me will bring disaster upon countless people. If you know what's good for you, find somewhere safe and cling to your miserable life. Otherwise, you might not even be able to keep your life in the future." Cao Yan bent down, slowly raised his hand, and slapped Tang San across the face.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

As crisp slaps rang out, Tang San's cheeks rapidly swelled. In less than a moment, his face had swollen to more than twice its original size, making him look even more pathetic.

"Ah."

With Cao Yan's final slap, Tang San was sent flying into the air before crashing heavily to the ground with a thunderous boom.

Tang San looked despondent. His eyelids drooped together, and even opening his eyes was difficult. Bright red blood continuously dripped from the corner of his mouth, staining his hair.

"Heh, looking like that, you still want revenge on me? Even if I gave you another hundred years, you still wouldn't be my match."

Cao Yan clapped his hands smugly and smiled in satisfaction as he looked at Tang San, who was unable to rise.

"Ding. Host Brother, please be careful. Tang Hao is hiding in the shadows and secretly watching everything."

At that moment, the system's prompt sounded in Cao Yan's mind, seeming somewhat anxious.

Tang Hao?

Cao Yan frowned and slightly circulated his Soul Power. Sure enough, he detected a rather powerful aura in a dark corner. Its strength was even greater than his own, and its fluctuations were exactly the same as what he had sensed before.

Cao Yan smiled, unconcerned that Tang Hao would step forward to retaliate now.

After all, Nuoding City was crowded and filled with Spirit Hall forces. Even if Tang Hao wanted to make a move and teach him a lesson, he would have to be somewhat wary.

A confident look surfaced in Cao Yan's eyes.

So what if it was Tang Hao? If Cao Yan were not worried that revealing his strength would draw too much attention, why would he fear Tang Hao?

In his eyes, Tang Hao was nothing more than an ant.

What kind of storm could a tiny frog at the bottom of a well possibly stir up?

If I had Soul Rings right now, I'd immediately slaughter that beast. Then Ah Yin would be my woman. Hahaha. Cao Yan sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat expectant. Ah Yin was a stunning beauty, after all. It was a shame that such a beautiful woman had gone to Tang Hao.

This time, he would take his place.

Once I obtain Soul Rings, every beauty on this continent will submit to me. Cao Yan smiled smugly to himself and gradually calmed down.

He still had more important things to do.

"Oh, right, System, can you do me a favor? I want Tang San to despair. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death." Cao Yan's eyes lit up slightly as he spoke to the system calmly.

"Does Host Brother want Tang San to learn about the relationship he and Xiao Wu originally had?" The system gave a wicked laugh, its voice carrying a hint of seductive charm that made Cao Yan feel rather pleased.

"Yes, exactly." Cao Yan nodded without denying it.

After receiving the system's agreement, Cao Yan once again walked toward Tang San.

"Hehe, Tang San, take a look at yourself. You really are in a miserable state."

"Hmph, Cao Yan, don't push people too far. I, Tang San, am no soft persimmon for others to knead as they please. One day, I'll make you pay the price." A faint blood-red light emerged in Tang San's eyes, making him look quite terrifying.

"Heh, how arrogant! You're nothing but an ant, yet you dare to make such noise before me?" As he spoke, Cao Yan viciously stomped on Tang San's face.

Tang San wanted to speak, but no sound came out. He could only glare fiercely at Cao Yan.

"Heh, Tang San, look at this."

As he spoke, a screen of light appeared above Cao Yan's palm. Within it were two small figures: Tang San and Xiao Wu.

At the sight of this, even Tang San, lying on the ground, held his breath slightly, his face filled with astonishment.

Wasn't the person in the scene himself?

"Xiao San, if one day many people wanted to kill me, and they were people you couldn't defeat, what would you do?" In the scene, Xiao Wu nestled against Tang San's chest, wearing a blissful smile as she asked.

Tang San slowly raised both hands over his head. He hesitated for a moment, then said with a firm gaze, "Then they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

The scene ended there, but Tang San still felt unsatisfied. What he had seen felt strangely familiar, as though he had experienced it himself. It was a wonderful feeling.

"Heh, Tang San, you never expected this, did you? Xiao Wu was supposed to be your woman. Unfortunately, from now on, she'll become my wife. You trash, I'm not afraid to tell you that you no longer have a chance." Cao Yan spoke boldly. Before leaving, he patted Tang San on the shoulder and kicked his body away.

"Ahhh! My Xiao Wu, why? Why are you treating me like this? Why are you taking my Xiao Wu away from me? Cao Yan, I, Tang San, will never rest until one of us is dead!" After Cao Yan left, Tang San howled loudly. Before long, rage attacked his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with shattered internal organs before passing out.

In the shadows, a tall man silently watched everything unfold. He wore a black hood, his muscles were extremely solid, and he radiated overwhelming strength. This man was Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

However, his eyes were now filled with bloodlust, making him look utterly terrifying.

As he watched Cao Yan depart, a vicious glint appeared in his eyes, like that of a demon.
