"What?"
Upon hearing Dugu Jian's words, Ye Shishi's expression changed. "Will Shen Lang be in danger?"
"Shishi, you must trust your man. The Shen Lang of today is not the Shen Lang of the past. Tang Jiutian's methods may not be able to harm him."
Dugu Jian smiled at Ye Shishi and said, "Even if Shen Lang is truly no match for Tang Jiutian, don't I have me in the end? As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to Shen Lang."
"Thank you, Jian Jie. I really don't know how to thank you."
Hearing Dugu Jian's words, Ye Shishi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Shen Lang, I, Tang Jiutian, have always considered myself intelligent, yet I have made a colossal mistake in the end."
As Ye Shishi finished speaking, Tang Jiutian slowly stood up with all his might and said to Shen Lang, "I should have killed you the last time you came to the Tang Sect. If I had killed you then, I wouldn't be facing such a perilous situation now."
"Father-in-law, what are you saying? Anyone who doesn't know you would think you are some great benevolent person who spared me."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "The reason Father-in-law didn't kill me last time was not because you are a good person, but because you wanted to obtain my 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu'. As a member of the Tang Sect, this is something you desperately desired."
"Of course, at that time, you were also suspicious. You wanted to know who was behind me, after all, a young man in his early twenties like me could not possibly have obtained this 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu'."
"It seems my guess was correct. You do have a connection with that person from Qiulong Mountain. You are his disciple, aren't you?"
Tang Jiutian stared intently at Shen Lang and said, "Not killing you last time was the biggest mistake of my life. However, this mistake ends here."
"Today, I will take your life. Even gods cannot stop me."
With that, Tang Jiutian took out a test tube and drank the golden liquid within it in one go.
"This is Golden No. 1 developed by the Killing Dao Association. I never expected even you, the Sect Master of the Tang Sect, to have it. It seems your Tang Sect also has a connection with the Killing Dao Association."
Looking at the test tube in Tang Jiutian's hand, Shen Lang exclaimed in shock, "The Tang Sect is considered one of the Sixth Great Families of Long Country. How can you stoop so low as to collude with that notorious criminal organization, the Killing Dao Association? Is this worthy of your ancestors?"
"It's not just the Tang Sect that colludes with the Killing Dao Association. Do you think the five great families are clean?"
Tang Jiutian sneered, "As long as our goals can be achieved, what does it matter if we collude with the Killing Dao Association?"
As Tang Jiutian spoke, his previously critical injuries miraculously recovered, and his aura became even more powerful than before.
"Killing Dao Association, I will deal with you sooner or later."
Looking at Tang Jiutian, Shen Lang said coldly.
The Killing Dao Association, a group of madmen infamous for their heinous crimes, had set up a laboratory on Paradise Island and conducted experiments on innocent girls, severely challenging Shen Lang's bottom line.
Shen Lang had always intended to eliminate this organization, but other matters had always intervened. Once he returned from the Tang Sect this time, Shen Lang would begin to deal with this criminal organization.
"Shen Lang, you won't have the chance."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Tang Jiutian grinned sinisterly, "Have you ever witnessed the true power of 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu'?"
"What? You intend to use the 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu' I taught you against me?"
Shen Lang spoke, "Don't you forget, I am more familiar with 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu' than you are."
"Let's try it and see who dies."
As Tang Jiutian's voice fell, his aura surged instantly. With his arms spread wide, the next second, thousands of willow leaf darts, crossbow bolts, dragon's beard needles, and heaven-breaking thorns flew from his body and, under Tang Jiutian's control, attacked Shen Lang.
"Father-in-law, you're even using the Heaven-Breaking Thorns? It seems you intend to break my Innate Gang Qi?"
Seeing Tang Jiutian control thousands of hidden weapons simultaneously, including the Heaven-Breaking Thorns, Shen Lang was slightly surprised and said, "It seems you've been looking for a way to break my Innate Gang Qi for a long time?"
"Shen Lang, your Innate Gang Qi can indeed defend against anything, but the Tang Sect's Heaven-Breaking Thorns are precisely the bane of Innate Gang Qi."
Tang Jiutian smiled and said, "To forge the Heaven-Breaking Thorns that can break your Innate Gang Qi, I have spent a great deal of effort, especially in sourcing the materials. I personally ventured into the deep sea to retrieve the deep-sea cold iron. Today, I will break your Innate Gang Qi."
"Then let's see."
Seeing Tang Jiutian's confident expression, Shen Lang smiled and said. The next second, he activated his Innate Gang Qi, and a purple shield protected him from all angles.
Less than half a second after the Innate Gang Qi was activated, all the hidden weapons shot forth. The twelve Heaven-Breaking Thorns struck first, hitting the purple protective shield.
To Shen Lang's complete surprise, the shield, which even bullets couldn't penetrate, was actually pierced and shattered by the twelve Heaven-Breaking Thorns.
Following that, all the other hidden weapons rained down, reaching Shen Lang.
"Father-in-law, I must admit, the Heaven-Breaking Thorns are indeed the bane of Innate Gang Qi. However, even without Innate Gang Qi, I can still deal with your 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu'."
Shen Lang shouted, and his eyes suddenly turned azure blue. The next moment, crackling blue lightning surged from his body.
In the next instant, when all the hidden weapons were only a hair's breadth away from Shen Lang, they were shattered by the crackling blue lightning.
"What... what is this?"
Witnessing this scene, not only Tang Jiutian's eyes widened, but even Dugu Jian was shocked.
"Is this the Five Thunders Orthodox Method from the Heavenly Master's Mansion?"
Dugu Jian murmured, but then quickly shook his head. "No, the power seems even more astonishing than the Five Thunders Orthodox Method. What exactly is this?"
"Shen Lang, what exactly is this?"
Tang Jiutian roared at Shen Lang, echoing Dugu Jian's question.
"Father-in-law, you want to know?"
Shen Lang looked at Tang Jiutian and smiled, "Let me tell you, besides my great talent, I also have incredibly good luck. The best part of my luck is that I have an awesome uncle."
"My uncle once taught me a supreme skill. This skill merges the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth into lightning, and it is called the 'Wu Lei Tian Xin Jue' (Five Thunders Heart Art)."
"Although I haven't fully mastered the 'Wu Lei Tian Xin Jue', it's enough to deal with your 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu'."
"Uncle? Song Sha Dao?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Tang Jiutian gritted his teeth and said, "When we were young, he always opposed me. I never expected that thirty years later, he would raise a nephew who is so talented. It's truly ironic."
"Shen Lang, 'Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu' couldn't kill you. This was beyond my expectation. However, even so, you must die today, because next, I will use the Tang Sect's 'Bao Yu Li Hua Zhen' (Stormy Pear Blossom Needles) to kill you."
With that, Tang Jiutian slowly took out two dark tubes, which were the only two remaining Stormy Pear Blossom Needles of the Tang Sect.
