"Tang San!"
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, enunciating each word.
The Grandmaster's so-called outstanding disciple!
Was he actually this despicable wretch!?
In an instant, Xiao Yan began to understand the Grandmaster's character.
This master and disciple really were...
Birds of a feather flocked together!
Tang San froze.
His brows knitted tightly, as though he had heard something unbelievable.
It seemed to be the voice of a dead man?
Tang San slowly turned around, and his expression froze.
He recognized the familiar figure at a glance, even though Xiao Yan had changed his clothes.
Xiao Yan!
"How is this possible!"
"This guy is actually still alive!?"
Not only had this guy survived!
He had even appeared in Nuoding City!
"Xiao Yan, you little beggar, your ghost just won't leave me alone, will it!"
Tang San looked incredulous, his expression even twisting somewhat.
That had been Tang Sect poison!
This guy had actually neutralized it?
Xiao Yan snorted coldly and sneered. "Heaven was unwilling to take me, so how could I let a despicable wretch like you succeed in your wicked scheme!"
Yu Tianming was stunned.
"You know this wretch's disciple!?"
A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. "Do you remember the poison in my body that day!?"
Yu Tianming understood at once.
The guests belatedly caught on as well.
"They really are worthy of being master and disciple!"
"The teacher harmed his own clansmen, and the disciple poisoned someone to death!"
"Those two wretches deserve to be torn limb from limb!"
When a wall fell, everyone pushed it. Even some of those who had remained neutral joined the camp denouncing the Grandmaster and Tang San.
"Hmph! Even if we can't kill them, we should drive them out!"
"That's right, get out of Nuoding City!"
A flicker of confusion passed through Tang San's eyes.
These people...
The lord of Nuoding City, the academy dean, the deputy hall master of Spirit Hall...
How did a beggar like Xiao Yan know them!?
Could it have been Old Jack?
No, how could that damned old man have done it!
"An orphan actually managed to worm his way into the company of so many people from the upper ranks!" Tang San fumed.
Pfft!
The Grandmaster spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yu Tianming's lightning power was still wreaking havoc inside his body, causing him immense pain.
His expression twisted as he roared, "Yu Tianming! Tang San is my disciple. Do you dare let your disciple fight him!?"
Tang San frowned.
Was this Grandmaster trying to use him?
Hadn't he come to attend a banquet?
Yu Tianming shook his head and cursed, "You're the same as ever. It's plainly your own grudge, yet you always like to borrow other people's strength to achieve your goals!"
"Today, I won't give you what you want!"
Yu Tianming raised his hand, and a blue dragon's silhouette flashed and vanished.
Intense lightning flickered and, accompanied by a dragon's roar, struck Yu Xiaogang.
Bang!
Crack!
The Grandmaster's flesh split and burst open, a horrifying sight.
But clearly, Yu Tianming had spared his life.
Otherwise, a Spirit Saint-level expert with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul could have killed him with one finger!
"Teacher..." Even the normally calm Tang San panicked.
He hurried forward and helped the half-dead Grandmaster up.
Tang San asked tentatively, "Didn't you say we were coming to a banquet? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
"Ugh..."
The Grandmaster let out a long breath and stroked Tang San's hair.
He leaned close to Tang San's ear and spoke so only the two of them could hear. "Little San, that old man is my clan uncle. He's jealous of me because I'm the clan leader's son, and he even attacked me because of my defective Martial Soul..."
The Grandmaster began playing the victim.
He wanted to beguile Tang San into achieving his goal for him.
Sure enough, Tang San was moved by his words.
Killing intent flickered in his eyes.
Were these people going to bully his teacher just because their Soul Power was higher?
The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record says: A teacher for a day is a father for life!
"The Grandmaster has never wronged me, and he even gave me the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges. Now we are master and disciple!"
"So I must help him!"
Everyone watched the scene.
Their eyes held indifference, sympathy, pity, and mockery.
The Grandmaster fell apart even more.
His pride was his greatest vulnerability, and right now it was being subjected to inhuman torment.
Seeing Yu Tianming refuse,
the Grandmaster hurriedly grabbed Tang San's hand and said hoarsely, "Take me away. I'll take you somewhere and make you the strongest person on this continent!"
With that, the Grandmaster fainted.
Tang San nodded.
He was immensely strong, and he also had Innate Full Soul Power.
He immediately hoisted the Grandmaster onto his back.
Master and disciple were in an utterly sorry state.
The lord of Nuoding City said coolly, "Leave Nuoding City now, and from this day forward, never set foot in it again!"
The dean of Nuoding Academy swallowed as well. "Help me tell Yu Xiaogang that from this day forward, I sever all ties with him, as though cutting our robes apart!"
Tang San swept a cold gaze over everyone, determined to remember every one of their faces.
"Thirty years the river flows east, thirty years it flows west. Don't look down on a poor youth!" Tang San snorted.
He did not realize that he himself was the despicable one.
Yet he always thought he was the victim.
Xiao Yan was amused too.
This wretch was actually using his words?
Xiao Yan laughed aloud. "Your skin really is as thick as a city wall!"
"Who here has bullied you!?"
Tang San said coldly, "You're a dog flaunting your master's power right now. I won't argue with you."
"Your master harmed his own clansmen and left the deputy hall master's branch with barely anyone surviving. Who do you say is the victim!?"
"We met by chance, like duckweed drifting together, yet you tried to kill me with deadly poison. Who do you say is the victim!?"
"Wretch!"
"You!"
Tang San's face turned livid.
He wanted to retort...
But he found that he could not come up with a reason to refute him.
"You speak such righteous words, yet engage in the most despicable deeds!"
"The wretch Grandmaster and the wretch Tang San!"
"Get out of Nuoding City while you can!"
Tang San walked to the door and gave Xiao Yan a cold glance. "The next time we meet, there will be a battle between us."
"You will die!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled.
He held out his right hand, and a flame drifted above it.
Hum...
The flame transformed into a small snake and darted past Xiao Yan, blocking the way.
Xiao Yan spoke with domineering confidence. "Come on, I'll give you a chance. No need to wait until later-let's settle this in a battle to the death today!"
"As expected of the person the deputy hall master invited. How domineering!" some guests said from the heart.
Xiao Yan's bearing at this moment was just like a rising supernova.
Powerful, confident, and incomparably domineering!
Tang San stiffened slightly and gritted his teeth.
This Xiao Yan...
He never played by the rules!
At a time like this, weren't they supposed to trade barbs and settle things in a battle to the death later!?
He cast a wary glance at the entrance.
There, the fire snake coiled like a gate of flame.
Tang San could sense fear from the depths of his Martial Soul.
"What kind of flame is this!?"
Blue Silver Grass was already restrained by fire.
Xiao Yan's flame was an emperor among flames, suppressing it completely.
A suppressive force from the depths of his bloodline turned Tang San's face pale.
He couldn't win...
Even though Xiao Yan was only at level seven now...
He still couldn't win.
"Tang San, come on! Let's fight to the death!" Xiao Yan sneered as he walked forward.
The vivid, fiery-red flames shone brilliantly.
They seemed to sting Tang San's heart.
Seeing the scene before him, Yu Tianming immediately burst out laughing. "My brother Xiao Yan has the bearing of a Great Emperor! Hahaha!"
