Tang Yin did not strike immediately, he wanted to continue listening to their conversion. freewёbnoνel.com
"WHAT?! Which bastard killed my 2 disciples and turned you into a cultivation furnace? I’ll skin him alive!" The old man dressed as a Daoist burst into fury, the pressure of a peak Physique Transformation Realm cultivator and a large amount of Killing Intent spread out from the old man. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Tang Yin was not far from the master and disciple, he had heard the intentions of interference from the old man, and he disappeared with Killing Intent in his eyes.
Qin Yan lifted her head up from the ground and was about to speak, Tang Yin seemed to appear out of thin air beside her. Terror filled her once more, her hate and enmity were gone without a trace.
Tang Yin placed his hand on top of Qin Yan’s head, it exploded like a watermelon. Her headless body fell forward from her kneeling position, the old man in the Daoist robes was momentarily stunned.

"It was you, you killed all my disciples! DIE!!" The old Daoist was an old man who had endured many difficulties in his life, with his vast amount of experience and shrewdness, he instantly figured out Tang Yin was the one who had killed the other 2 male cultivators who were his disciples. This was also related to the hints he had gathered from the words of Qin Yan before her abrupt death.
The old man charged towards Tang Yin as monstrous pressure radiated off him. Tang Yin could tell that this old man was slightly stronger than the Shan family’s Patriarch despite being in the same stage.
Tang Yin coldly looked at the incoming old man, he swiftly disappeared using the Gale Step. The old man came to a halt when he saw Tang Yin disappear, he looked around cautiously.
Tang Yin reappeared behind the old man, he held the Abyssal Sword which had been injected with Abyss Qi. He swung his arm towards the old man robustly, the old man seemed to sense the incoming danger and rapidly cast a defensive Martial Skill.
A large transparent shield formed from Qi appeared behind him, the Abyssal Sword’s sword energy collided with the large shield. The shield cracked before shattering into pieces a moment later, the sword energy also dissipated before it could reach the old man. The sword energy and the transparent shield had effectively cancelled each other out.
Tang Yin disappeared once more, the old man continued surveying his surroundings cautiously. Tang Yin reappeared, this time he was much closer to the old man.
The old man had brought out a spear Artifact from his storage ring while Tang Yin was trying to find an opening. The Abyssal Sword and Spear Artifact clashed, there was a loud boom that reverberated through the area. The old man and Tang Yin both staggered back a few feet.
Tang Yin looked fine, but his hand felt numb, the Abyssal Sword in his hand was shining with a black light. The old man was shocked, he could feel the opponent’s weird black sword absorbing the Qi from his spear Artifact rapidly, this forced him to inject more Qi into the spear so both sides could separate.
Tang Yin smirked, he had found the old man’s weakness. He used Gale Step to disappear and reappear before the old man in an instant, the old man had no time to deploy a Martial Skill. Thus, he continued fending with his spear Artifact.
Each time both parties separated, Tang Yin would instantly reappear using the Gale Step. This gave the old man no time to activate a Martial Skill, he could only furiously attack with the spear Artifact.
Tang Yin had chosen this tactic because he had noticed his Abyssal Sword devouring the Qi from the spear Artifact during each collision. The Qi that was devoured from the spear Artifact was provided by the old man, if he kept using this tactic, the old man’s Qi Sea would run dry very quickly.
The old man was astute, he had realised the tactic Tang Yin was deploying. Therefore, he tried his best to create distance and space from Tang Yin so he could have enough time to activate a Martial Skill and get out of this passive situation. However, Tang Yin’s Gale Step was an important factor here as it allowed him to instantly reappear before the old man without giving him time.
This was not necessarily a good thing for Tang Yin either, each time he used the Gale Step, the amount of Abyss Qi that was consumed continued accumulating to a terrifying amount. Tang Yin needed to preserve enough Abyss Qi within him for his cultivation, so he needed to end the battle quickly and kill the old man. However, the old man was at the peak of the Physique Transformation Realm and killing such a cultivator was never an easy task.
The old man was extremely angry, his Qi Sea was almost dry. He resolved his heart and activated his Martial Spirit. A yellow talisman with a red mark on it appeared on the old man’s forehead. With the appearance of the talisman, Tang Yin froze for an instant, as if space and time around him had stopped.
The old man coughed up a mouthful of blood, he quickly used the instant he had gained to use the most powerful offensive Martial Skill he possessed.
The old man grabbed the spear Artifact and threw it in Tang Yin’s direction, the spear split into 2 then 4 and lastly into 8. The 8 spear projections flew towards the immobilized Tang Yin.
