Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1266: Culling Out Future Troubles
Facing an unknown enemy would make anyone wary. The black masked man stared intently and slightly raised the tip of his sword. Then, he asked again in a fierce tone, “For the last time, who are you and what have you done secretly researching in this desert?”
Tang Xiu did not bother to waste time talking. He calmly glanced at Zhu Long before disappearing. A moment after, a head flew out and a pillar of blood shot into the air. In almost the blink of an eye, the dozens of Pyramid experts chasing Zhu Long's fleeing team had been massacred all-out by Tang Xiu.
This…
Zhu Long and the two Special Abilities Bureau experts stared stupidly and tongue-tied at the scene before them. They were not deterred by the bloody scene but the thing that made them unable to believe their eyes was Tang Xiu's unfathomable strength. It only took him lightning to kill all the dozens of experts. How could he be so scary?
“Am I dreaming?”
One of the Special Ability Bureau experts muttered to himself. But he soon discovered that Zhu Long and his other comrades were also looking at him with complicated eyes.
Inside the underground base.
Duanmu Lin stood still with his arms crossed behind his back inside the surveillance room at the base. The large monitoring room was as big as a basketball court, and the big screen in front of it showed the situation in the desert above.
“They are all ... killed ... so easy?”
The strength of the current Duanmu Lin was not like before. He was able to assess the strength of the dozens of Pyramid experts chasing after Zhu Long's team. He could tell that the mysterious giant man leading them was very likely stronger than him. However, they were so easily killed by Tang Xiu alone?
The current Tang Xiu ... what realm has he reached?
Regrets filled Duanmu Lin's eyes. He knew that he was a frog who saw the sky from the bottom of a well. Even if he knew how vast the outer stage was, he still stood still, arrogant and content with no desire to explore further. What he regretted the most was that he had also thrown away the great opportunity that had been presented before his eyes because of his stubbornness and the feeling of glory brought to him by this base, all of which made his attitude towards Tang Xiu change.
It was because of his changed attitude …
It was only when he stated such an inappropriate comment that he finally realized that he had made the wrong choice.
Eternal World! Gods and myriad races!
Given how beautiful that incomparable world was, regret filled Duanmu Lin's entire existence. Countless impulses drove him crazy and made him want to chase after Tang Xiu and apologize to him, yet he stopped at any moment at the last moment, thinking that he had to keep the dignity that still remained.
“I can still do well without depending on him in the future, right?”
Duanmu Lin was silent for a while before finally sighing deeply, closing his eyes and suppressing his regret and unwillingness.
****
Amidst the terrifying heat wave that made the desert like a steamboat, Tang Xiu easily passed through it and his handsome facial expression was extremely calm. Before this, he taught a series of cultivation techniques to Duanmu Lin, in the hope that he would pledge loyalty and work for him in the future. However, it was clear that the increase in strength and the long years in the top position had shaken the heart of this man.
Tang Xiu himself had met such people many times. Back when he was in the Eternal World and had many men under him, such cases were frequent. Some of them were subordinates that he had saved from their enemies. But after they faced a great opportunity and their strength soared, their attitude towards him then changed. Even some of them even tore all the courtesy with him and looked away.
A person's character is indeed a factor that will determine a person's future.
Although she felt a little regretful, it only brought a very small regret to Tang Xiu. Even though he had already taught the man a cultivation technique, regardless of whether this man still remembered his grace or no matter how far he could go in the future, it would be his own business and have nothing to do with him anymore.
He doesn't even care about anything else. After he left, he would still hand over the Great Tang Empire's intel network and ordinary personnel to the Chinese authorities and this person. It is his hope that China will become more and more powerful in the future to be able to lead humanity smoothly to set foot in the Milky Way and begin the era of interstellar shipping, while at the same time having the ability to protect themselves .
“You seem to have some problems in mind, Mr.”
Tang Ahlang, who continued to follow by Tang Xiu's side, wore a mindful look on her delicate face.
“I do have some concerns in my mind.” Tang Xiu nodded.
“Is this about Duanmu Lin?” ask Tang Ahlang.
“You got a good insight, Nak.” Tang Xiu smiled. “It makes me feel more optimistic about you.”
Tang Ahlang said, “I have read hundreds of books and gained a lot of their essence. No matter how stupid I am, I can still see how people behave and understand the psychological aspects of people's behavior. In fact, I'm sure Duanmu Lin is filled with regret right now. But you didn't give him another chance. ”
“Despite whether I choose to retreat this time or not, he will still show his current attitude if he makes significant achievements in certain aspects in the future,” Tang Xiu calmly explained. “A person's character is something deeply embedded in their bones. Such people would definitely experience a change in attitude no matter if they were human or immortal. But some may change for the better and better, whereas others will only get worse. ”
Tang Ahlang nodded in response and said, “Everyone has their own path in front of them. But they could only use schemes when the path they chose led to nowhere. ”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly in response. He stretched out his hand to grab Ah Lang's shoulder. His figure suddenly shot up into the sky while enveloping Ah Lang with his strength. In just a short moment, the two had already arrived at the road they had passed two days to pass before. Then it would take about ten minutes before they appeared in the city several hundred kilometers away.
A sword beam flashed and a number of heads fell to the ground.
In an ordinary courtyard in a secluded residential area, dozens of foreign practitioners were instantly killed by Tang Xiu. They were all members of the Stygian Club. Tang Xiu easily detected them with his perception after he entered the city.
“Who are you?!”
An angry roar came from the house as a red-robed man ran over with two young men in front of Tang Xiu and Ah Lang.
“Ah Lang, the two boys are pretty great. Dealing with them as an exercise, “ Tang Xiu said calmly.
Tang Ahlang hesitated and then forced a smile. “Master, I may have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, but I only fought with the most powerful ferocious beasts in the pouch world. I never tried to fight with anyone else! In terms..”
Tang Xiu raised his hand to cut it off and said indifferently, “Everyone has his first time in every way. Although they are not as good as you in terms of strength, they have a strong smell of blood and a rich killing aura; they have obviously killed many people and have rich combat experience, he said, so they are good enough to be used as a grindstone to sharpen themselves. ”
Tang Ahlang took a deep breath and a firmer expression appeared in his eyes. He ran a few steps forward to the three men, cupped his fists and said, “I have fought many times in my childhood, but I have never fought with any practitioner. You two, give me everything you got. Because you two or I will die in the next fight. ”
The old man's pupils shrunk. He only felt a strong presence that made his scalp wriggling and goosebumps. He wished he could escape instantly, so he brought his two disciples rushing out as he smelled the smell of blood.
However, the scene in front of him sent shivers all over his body and made him tremble.
No yelling or any kind of resistance!
The current scene clearly showed that his men were all killed in an instant, giving them time to fight or shout for help.
The Stage of the Nascent Soul!
This young man had just said the level of a Chinese cultivator. Many people in the Stygian Club might not know about this cultivation level term, but he was very clear about its significance.
If the disciple had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, then what about his master? Didn't that make this young-looking young man like the ancient monsters that had lived for centuries?
“Who are you?” the old man asked with a heavy voice.
“I don't think you are qualified to know who we are,” replied Tang Xiu lightly. “You just need to know that your death will be due today.”
The old man coldly hummed but not directly to Tang Xiu. The tragic death of dozens of his men before his eyes reminded him of the sinister feeling he had felt before. After hesitating for a moment, and when he was about to bring his two disciples back home to escape through the back window, he suddenly felt an explosion of terrifying strength that directly restrained his body, giving him a chance to break free no matter how hard he struggled.
“Shut!”
After imagining the restraining technique that directly restrained the old man, Tang Xiu retracted his Primal Chaos energy. He then chuckled and said, “What are you waiting for, Ah Lang? Just kill them directly if they want to escape. I'll let them go if they fight openly and you lose. ”
One of the two similar youths immediately asked the old man, “Can we kill him, Mister?”
The old man blinked and said bitterly, “Fight together to defeat him, but do not kill him. If the two of you can defeat him, I will give you two daggers, and I will repair them myself. ”
“Real?” Surprised, they looked happy and exclaimed.
“Real.”
The old man wanted to nod, but he could not even move his neck at this moment. In despair, she could only look at Tang Xiu with begging eyes, asking for mercy.
A mocking look flashed across Tang Xiu's eyes as his palm slapped forward. The old man's head immediately flew up and he instantly died as blood spurted from his neck.
“Mastered!”
“Mastered!”
The faces of the two young men changed drastically and disbelief filled their eyes. In their eyes, their Master was simply an invincible existence. He was even able to kill dozens of extremely powerful practitioners alone in the past. He even took them to some mysterious places and killed some terrifying beasts.
Yet ... such an invincible existence was so easily killed by the wave of the palm of this young man?
How could this possibly happen?
“You two, listen to me,” said Tang Xiu. “I just gave you a chance to keep your life. I'll forgive you if you can kill my disciple. However, if you cannot, you will only go to Hell to accompany Your Master. ”
