Chapter 297: The Gap Between Fellow Disciples (Part )

"Tang Xuan, you are crazy!"

Tang Ji looked at Tang Xuan, whose facial features were ferocious, in disbelief. In his memory, although Tang Xuan was arrogant because of his talent, he was very calm and collected in the face of things and seldom did anything absurd. He had a bit of inner talent, such as "remaining calm even when facing a mountain collapse in front of him".

However, the Tang Xuan standing in front of him today was extremely crazy and full of violence, like a vengeful ghost who escaped from the hell, wandering the human world, hiding in ditches, and staring at Tang Clan's every move.

“Seeing the annihilation of the Tang Sect? Are you really happy?” Tang Xiu frowned and shook his head repeatedly, “No! If that day really comes, not only will you not feel the slightest pleasure of revenge, but you will be even more miserable than now. The torture you endured by then will be a hundred or a thousand times greater than what you have endured in the past ten years. Tang Xuan, the Tang Sect has never owed you anything. It is you who owes the Tang Sect!”

"Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Xuan's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said angrily: "In the past, when I was in Tang Sect, I worked diligently and devotedly. How many hidden weapons have I developed for Tang Sect over the years? Since the founding of Tang Sect, has anyone in the past generations been able to match my contribution to Tang Sect? But Tang Sect abandoned me! In those days, in terms of talent, ability, seniority, and prestige, how could I be inferior to Tang Yuan? But you risked the world's disapproval and insisted on abolishing the eldest and establishing the youngest, recommending him as the chief steward of Tang Sect, treating me like nothing. Have you ever thought about how I feel? I owe Tang Sect? Humph! What do I owe it?"

"You owe the Tang Sect a life!" Tang Xiu said angrily, "Tang Xuan, even if you have a thousand grievances and are unwilling to accept it, you can never change the fact that you are a disciple of the Tang Sect. If there was no Tang Sect, where would you, the pride of heaven, be? Your body, hair, talent and martial arts, which one is not taught by the Tang Sect? But you are selfish and greedy. Not only do you not know how to reflect and repent, but you insist on your own way and are obsessed with it, and finally you go astray and fall into the devil's way. You betrayed the Tang Sect, not only betrayed the morality of the martial arts world, but also betrayed your parents, ancestors, and human ethics! If you really want to sever your relationship with the Tang Sect, you should first return this skin that the Tang Sect gave you!"

After all, Tang Xiu was the owner of the Tang Sect's inner abstinence room. When it came to major issues, he not only clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, but also had his reasons and evidence. He was able to express his thoughts in a logical and emotional way, and his eloquence was very impressive.

"Tang Xiu, you're looking for death!"

"As Tang Sect disciples, we have long been prepared to die for the Tang Sect." Tang Ji said coldly, "We two will die for the Tang Sect, and after death our names will be left in our family history, and we will die without regrets. We are not like you, who are alone when alive, and will be a wandering ghost even after death!"

"Be bold!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Seeing his master being humiliated, Li Haitang's face suddenly changed. He quickly drew his bow and arrow, and before Tang Xuan could speak, three sharp arrows flashed out and shot straight at Tang Ji.

Drawing the bow and shooting the arrow was done in one go, so smooth and flowing that Tang Ji could not help but be secretly surprised. The moment Li Haitang drew the arrow, he had already moved freely and dodged.

"puff!

"Whizzing!"

Even so, Li Haitang's first arrow hit Tang Ji's right shoulder, pierced his arm and broke his scapula.

The second arrow pierced through Tang Ji's robe, leaving a shallow blood mark on his shoulder. The third arrow followed closely, almost brushing past his sleeve.

Three arrows in a row, as fast as lightning, were jaw-dropping.

"Forehead!"

The excruciating pain of the broken shoulder blade instantly covered Tang Ji's forehead with a layer of fine sweat.

Seeing this, Tang Xiu's face changed immediately. He flipped his hand and shot out a group of silver needles, which swept towards Tang Xuan and others like ripples in clear water.

"Little tricks!"

Yan Wuji showed disdain on his face, snorted lightly, then flipped his palms and suddenly swung himself to the side. Suddenly, a vast wave of internal force surged out and turned into an invisible barrier in front of the few people.

Dozens of silver needles whizzed over, but were just one sword away from Yan Wuji and the others. As if they were stuck in a swamp, they were suspended in mid-air and unable to move at all.

"go with!"

Yan Wuji showed a sly smile, shouted softly, put his palms forward, and shook his wrists lightly. Dozens of silver needles suddenly trembled a few times, and then they all shot back in the direction of Tang Ji and Tang Xiu at a speed even faster than when they came.

"This……"

Tang Xiu had never expected Yan Wuji to have such a method, and his mind was immediately in chaos.

"careful!"

At the critical moment, Tang Ji shouted suddenly, swung his left arm forward quickly, and instantly released the Flying Rain Nails, shooting towards dozens of silver needles.

In mid-air, the two of them faced each other, and a series of "ding ding ding" crisp sounds broke out. In an instant, countless flying nails and silver needles scattered on the ground, many of which were bent and deformed, causing palpitations.

"Kill them!"

At Hu Zhen's shout, Huo Biao and Qiu Zheng suddenly rushed forward with their swords, and the men started fighting again.

"you go first!"

Seeing Tang Ji's injury getting worse, Tang Xiu had no choice but to use his life-saving methods. He let Tang Ji stand behind him, and under the siege of Hu Zhen and the other two, he barely took the attack while quickly retreating.

"put!"

Suddenly, Tang Xiu seized the opportunity and stretched out both palms, instantly releasing a large golden net.

"It's a 'dragnet', retreat quickly!"

Seeing this, Tang Xuan's face suddenly changed. Before he could finish his reminder, Yan Wuji had mysteriously disappeared from the spot.

In the battle, a huge golden net made up of countless threads was expanding in midair at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye. The golden net was fully unfolded, with a radius of more than three meters. It seemed to have drawn a golden barrier out of thin air on the street, not only blocking the pursuit of Hu Zhen and the other two, but also covering the sky and attacking them. It was not until this moment that Hu Zhen and the other two suddenly discovered that this big net was made up of overlapping and interwoven golden threads as thin as hair. It was shaped like a spider web, but denser, larger, and more complex.

Moreover, each golden thread was hung with sharp blades the size of fingernails, densely packed and shining brightly. When the night wind blew, the blades made a rustling sound, which sounded like silver bells, but were actually death knells, making people feel uncontrollably palpitated and frightened.

The most terrifying thing was that wherever the golden net passed, no matter it was tree branches, leaves, gray bricks or green tiles, they were all cut off like tofu without any hesitation or obstruction.

This shows how tough the golden thread is and how sharp the blade is. The net is truly worthy of its name and is extremely terrifying.

If someone is caught in this net, they will surely be cut all over, and the more they struggle, the deeper the cuts will be, until they are broken into meat scraps and then wrapped into meat paste. Eventually, their body will be cut into countless pieces, which will overflow from the eye-sized holes in the net, resembling... minced meat!
In an instant, a huge golden net covered the sky and the moon, whistling in and completely covering the heads of Hu Zhen and the other two.

In desperation, the three men swung their swords and chopped. Sparks flew everywhere, dazzling the eyes, but they could not cut or pierce through it. Even though they tried their best and bent the blades of the steel swords, it was still of no avail. They could not stop the "net of heaven and earth" that was so close.

“I’m dead this time…”

"Stand beside me and don't move!"

At this critical moment, Yan Wuji suddenly appeared beside Hu Zhen like a ghost. He shouted an order and summoned his strong internal force, pouring it into his palms.

Then, a green gas ball, almost visible to the naked eye, emerged from the palm of his hand, and it grew larger and larger, and the surrounding air gradually became hotter.

"out!"

Just when the dragnet was about to cover the heads of Yan Wuji and the others, he suddenly shouted, and the green gas between his palms suddenly shot up into the sky and exploded above his head.

At the same time, the unbreakable golden net trembled violently under the impact of this vast internal force. Thousands of blades were right in front of them, colliding with each other, making a sound like silver bells. Hu Zhen and the other two were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and no one dared to act rashly.

"break!"

With Yan Wuji's roar, the net of heaven and earth shattered with a bang, and countless broken wires and blades, mixed in the ripples of energy, radiated in all directions. The blue bricks on the ground were lifted up, and the surrounding walls were full of holes and devastation.

At this moment, everything was shaking and there was desolation everywhere. It took a long time for the heaven and earth to return to peace.

Yan Wuji's move was extremely powerful, shocking, heart-stirring and jaw-dropping.

Yan Wuji barely managed to resolve the threat of the dragnet, but Tang Ji and Tang Xiu took advantage of the opportunity and escaped without a trace.

"Master Yan Ling, Master Hu, thank you very much!"

Tang Xuan gently brushed off the dust on his body, then slowly walked forward and bowed to Yan Wuji and the others.

Yan Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked, "I just rescued someone, why didn't you take the opportunity to chase and kill him?" Although he didn't say it directly, there was obviously some displeasure in his tone.

It was clearly a feud between Tang Xuan and the Tang Clan, but their own people were fighting in the front, while Tang Xuan and his disciples were hiding aside and watching the fun. This matter really made Yan Wuji dissatisfied.

"Tang Xuan, are you reluctant to kill them because of your fellow tribesmen?" Hu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Just now, we almost lost our lives because of you."

"Of course not!" Tang Xuan explained, "I didn't chase him because I suddenly thought of a plan."

"What plan?" Yan Wuji asked suspiciously.

"A plan to save people." Tang Xuan smiled proudly, "Master Yan Ling, this is Luoyang City, Luo Tianjin's territory. There are many experts in the Xianwang Mansion, and we must not underestimate them. We want to rescue people from Luo Tianjin's mansion, so we must not fight hard, otherwise we will die."

Yan Wuji frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Have you forgotten? We have already found out in advance that Luo Tianjin has sent out all the masters in the palace. The Xianwang Palace is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. This is a good opportunity for us to take action."

"That being said, Luo Tianjin is still in charge of the palace after all."

"What are your plans?"

"Although the Tang Sect in Shu and the Xianwang Mansion have always been at odds, they are both upright martial arts sects after all, and on the surface they are fellow believers."

"so what?"

Tang Xuan sneered, "Tang Ji and Tang Xiu failed to capture me tonight, so they dare not return to Shuzhong to report. Moreover, they are seriously injured and in danger. In this unfamiliar place, who else can they turn to except Luo Tianjin?"

"You mean..." Yan Wuji said thoughtfully, "They will ask Luo Tianjin for help?"

"Definitely!" Tang Xuan said confidently, "On the second day of August, the martial arts heroes have an appointment. Right now, the various factions in the Central Plains can no longer distinguish between close and distant relatives, but should be as close as a family and brothers to prepare for next year's martial arts conference. Therefore, in order to deal with me, Tang Ji and the others will definitely ask Luo Tianjin for help. On the other hand, in order to make friends and win over the Tang Sect in Shu, Luo Tianjin will definitely help them. Not only that, Tang Ji will also inform Luo Tianjin about our alliance. Nowadays, the relationship between the Han and Mongolians is extremely sensitive. Therefore, when Luo Tianjin learns that a Mongolian master has appeared in Luoyang City, he will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death."

"So what?" Hu Zhen asked.

"So we used his own trick against him!" Tang Xuan said viciously, "We deliberately exposed ourselves to Luo Tianjin so that he could gather his strength and wipe us out in one fell swoop."

"You want to lure the snake out of its hole?" Yan Wuji pondered, "Trick Luo Tianjin out of the Xianwang Mansion, and then..."

"Then we will take advantage of the opportunity, sneak into the mansion, and rescue the people from Jueqing Valley without even a single blow!"
