Chapter 21 The Deceased (3)
In these twenty years, Nangong Tong has never been as embarrassed, helpless, and so desperate as he is today.
As a child of the Nangong family, even if he dared not think that he was the dragon among humans, he was at least smart, noble and extraordinary than 999% of the people in the world. That was natural, and everything in these twenty years could prove this. But just in the incense stick just now, these deep-rooted cognitions were smashed again.
The righteous young men who were half dead and half alive on the ground, Zeng Jiuwen, who turned into a bunch of wriggling fleshworms, reminded him all the time how ridiculous, sad and pitiful his self-confidence was. When Li Shishi and Tang Jianyu began to attack Mingyue, he truly felt that he was just an ant on the side of the road and could not play any role. He had to stand a little bit to avoid being stepped on.
If this could only make him fall into the abyss of despair in a daze, then what Luo Yuanyun did just now was to dig another cessation pit in this abyss and kick him down. The fat man who was just a useless garbage in his eyes could stand up bravely and fearlessly. Even if he didn't succeed in the end, he did indeed stand up and did something he had no courage or judgment to do. In the eyes of Li Shishi and Tang Jianyu, and in the eyes of Mingyue, the fat man was thousands of times stronger than him, an ant who could only tremble beside him.
I can't do this... I can't do this... I can't do this! Nangong Tong's whole body was shaking, and his middle fingernails were pinched into the flesh. He was already crying at some point. He burst into tears. He had long lost the so-called family style, and he had long lost it. Despair, shame, the huge emptiness and horror after the self-worth was shattered, and a force was inexplicably generated from the deepest part of his heart. He drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Li Shishi still stopped. At least he had to respect Nangong Master at the surface. He also vaguely felt something different from before from this voice, so he turned his head to look at Nangong Tong.
The tears and snot on Nangong Tong's face were still hanging. It looked a bit like a child who had just finished crying. His hand holding the sword was still shaking slightly, but his voice calmed down a little. He also had strength he didn't have before: "Let Miss Mingyue go. Everything today was caused by me, which caused these young men of fellow men to be implicated, messed up the arrangements of the second and third uncles, offended the Tang Sect. It doesn't make sense that she would also implicate Miss Mingyue."
"Brother Nangong Shi. This matter has nothing to do with you. Now it is the Shadow Guard and the Tang Sect's affairs." Li Shishi reminded him coldly.
Nangong Tong didn't say anything, and stabbed his backhand, and the long sword in his hand stabbed directly into his chest, and the blood immediately soaked out.
Li Shishi was shocked, but he didn't dare to move. Tang Jianyu in the distance also looked surprised.
Nangong Tong's tears flowed down again, and the feeling of the sword stabbing into the flesh was really painful. He had never felt like this in his life. But he still endured the pain and said, "I'll say it again, let Miss Mingyue leave. Otherwise, I'll die here. If I die, neither you nor the Tang family will have good fruits. Is this related?"
Li Shishi was shocked, and for the first time he felt at a loss. He couldn't help but look back at Tang Jianyu. Of course, he also saw that Nangong Tong was serious. The sword had already pierced into his chest, and the tip of the sword might be against his heart. Now Nangong Tong is still quite far from him. The key is that Nangong Tong himself is not a mediocre person. He would not be able to snatch the sword in his hand anyway. That's why he looked at Tang Jianyu, wanting to see if he could take action.
However, before Tang Jianyu spoke, Nangong Tong spoke first: "That Young Master Tang Shiyi, I was indeed a rash person today and offended him. But if I die here, it must be even more unfavorable to Tangjiabao?"
"Yes." Tang Jianyu nodded. There was no such contempt and joke as before in his eyes, and there was more playfulness.
"The Eleventh Master said before that the old master of the Tang family just said that if he had the chance, he invited Miss Mingyue. At the beginning, the invitation was not so strong, so Tangjiabao should only be interested in Miss Mingyue, rather than being determined to win."
Every time he said a word or breathed, Nangong Tong could feel the friction between the tip of the sword and his chest, and even the impact caused by the pulsation of his heart. However, he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he felt that he had never been so powerful and his mind had never been so clear when he saw Li Shishi, Tang Jianyu and Mingyue.
"Yes." Tang Jianyu nodded.
"So even if Miss Mingyue leaves today, there will be no loss for Tangjiabao. But if I die here, what will happen to my second and third uncles, I don't know, but my uncle will definitely not give up."
"Well. Everyone knows that Nangong Wuji protects his shortcomings, as if everyone with the surname Nangong is his biological child."
"So there is no need for you to take the risk to force Miss Mingyue. From the perspective of the Eleventh Young Master, I should be able to see that I am serious. The hidden weapon of Eleventh Young Master just now was really shocking, but even so, I dare say that Eleventh Young Master is not absolutely sure to knock off the sword in my hand without hurting me. Although my past ten years of hard work is not useless, it is not useless. So I advise Eleventh Young Master, not to take the risk."
"Well, you're right." Tang Jianyu continued to nod. He suddenly became a loyal supporter of Nangong Tong.
In fact, it seems as if Nangong Tong said. In this case, Tang Jianyu really has no need to take risks. Once the sword tip pierces the heart, He Jinzhi and Zhang Tianshi, who are the most powerful Taoist masters, may be able to save his life. Li Shishi and Tang Jianyu are helpless. Once Nangong Tong dies here, no matter who actually dies at the hands of the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect will never be separated. Not only are the concessions scheduled by the Shadow Guards all missed, but they also have to face the anger of the Nangong family.
Mingyue also looked at Nangong Tong, her face full of confusion. What happened to these people today was indeed a bit too complicated for her.
Nangong Tong turned his gaze to Mingyue, and the gentleness in his eyes was completely different from the usual behavior. He said slowly: "Miss Mingyue, I'm really sorry. It's because I've put you in danger. All of this is because I have always admired you. I want to show my might in front of you, and I want to be closer to you. It's a pity that I'm a self-righteous fool, and I don't know that everything I do is under the control of others. It was Li Shishi who hinted that I would let Master Qingfeng open from you. He should be lurking in the workshop in the Shenji Hall now, but I don't know if Li Shishi arranged other means to deal with him..."
Finally hearing the news from Xiao Xia, Mingyue's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Master Xia must be fine." Looking at Nangong Tong's face also eased. She nodded to him: "You turned out to be a good person."
After saying this, Mingyue turned around and walked out of the hall. Her light and agile figure now looked a little staggering.
Nangong Tong looked at Mingyue's back as he left, tears slid down his eyes. Before today, he didn't know that the noble young man with such an outstanding and noble appearance would still cry, but today he cried a lot, and like now, he didn't know why he cried.
At this moment, a little numbness suddenly appeared on his elbow. Then, as he noticed it, it quickly spread to his entire arm, and the muscles and strength that had been tense stiffly solidified into a ball of dead objects.
With a sound, it seemed that the iron cone condensed from the void hit the hilt of the sword. The already stiff wrist could not hold it at all, and the sword flew out of his hand. As the blood from the wound of the sword was surging out, it immediately calmed down. The angle of the iron cone was very accurate, so that the blade that pierced his body did not hurt the slightest damage to the body and flew backwards.
"You are right. Your past ten years of hard work is just a fancy."
With this cold voice, Tang Jianyu, who had been standing still, finally moved. His figure was like an irrespectable ghost rushing towards him, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Nangong Tong. Nangong Tong had not had time to come to his senses in the shock just now. He saw Tang Jianyu's palm printed on his chest, and the force seeping through his palm instantly closed the several acupoints around the wound on his chest, and then threw him out like a scarecrow. When he fell to the ground and reacted in pain, he had already landed at the feet of Li Shishi. Before he could stand up, Li Shishi's fingers were tapped on his acupoints again, and he could only lie there and move.
Tang Jianyu's figure just moved away from Nangong Tong's position and then rushed towards Mingyue. The iron cone that had just knocked open Nangong Tong's long sword also collapsed and shattered and restored into countless fine particles. Countless roars merged into a violent tide of anger. The hurricane was carried by Tang Jianyu and wrapped towards Mingyue together.
Just as Tang Jianyu moved, Mingyue noticed it. She seemed to feel the malice coming towards her. She turned around, took a deep breath, raised her hands high and held it into claws and swung it down hard. With this wave, two huge scratches appeared in the air, facing Tang Jianyu, who was flying towards him. The hard bluestone slabs on the ground that were swept by the scratches were shattered like steamed buns, and a pillar of two people was clutched and broken into several sections. These two claws were already Mingyue's full force, and even a mechanical beast could be chopped into pieces. However, Tang Jianyu's figure did not slow down at all. He was like a shadow without entity, just a shaking and passed through the gap between the two scratches and pounced in front of Mingyue.
Dozens of Mingyue's figures suddenly appeared around, but it was useless. The countless tiny particles of sand around Tang Jianyu were wrapped in a huge vortex centered on him. These figures flashed and disappeared just now, leaving Mingyue, a lonely figure. And when he was fighting with Li Shishi just now, his flexible skills, who were able to advance and retreat in moderation, became as ridiculous as a toddler in front of Tang Jianyu. Just slapped his head and Mingyue's body collapsed weakly.
Boom. At this time, two scratches that Mingyue had swung with all her might, smashing the pillars along the way and hitting the walls of the hall, tearing all the walls on one side into pieces, and sand, gravel and dust splashed everywhere. If the hall had not been built very strongly and had a delicate and stable structure, it might have been knocked down by these two claws.
Tang Jianyu also jumped slightly, a little surprised. The power of this powerful dragon claw surprised him, but it was a fundamental difference between the Buddhist masters who really practiced this method. In the eyes of a master like him, it was like a three-year-old child waving a magic weapon. Although it was a threat, being careful would be enough to capture it.
The wall collapsed, revealing workshops and houses in the distance. There was no one coming here because the noise was so big. This was also what Zeng Jiuwen, Chief Craftsman Wei and others had already ordered in advance. They did not want others to know about what was going to happen here today. It was just that the matter did not develop as expected by any of them, and in the end, they were not standing here.
Looking at the mess and wreckage all over the ground, Tang Jianyu couldn't help but feel a little proud while having a headache. Today's storm seemed to be turbulent and ups and downs, but it did not exceed his master from beginning to end. Tang Sect and Tang Sect disciples once again confirmed that they were the only ones who were the best water in the rivers and lakes where the waves were treacherous, diving deeper and swimming farther. Moreover, today's storm was really interesting in some aspects. He felt that he was a little bit depressed in the past ten years of lurking, and of course there were many benefits. Not only could he get a considerable advantage from the Shadow Guard, but he also completed the task recently issued by the old master. However, the Taoist Qingfeng seemed to have some secrets that he had not even noticed by his Tang Sect. It seems that in terms of information about Shadow Guard, he also had to...
A loud bang interrupted Tang Jianyu's thoughts, to be precise, was interrupted by a quarter of a moment of impact than this loud bang. The disciples of the Tang sect had been tempered and their bodies reacted even faster than their thoughts. While feeling the inexplicable thrust, their bodies took advantage of the momentum to shoot out to the side, jumping five feet away before landing.
But this landing did not fall steadily. Tang Jianyu sat down on the ground and slid out a few steps. Then he became dumbfounded, not only because he actually made such a lowest-level mistake, but also because he couldn't feel his right leg. Moreover, the feeling of sitting on the ground was completely wrong, as if something was missing.
It took Tang Jianyu a half blink to react. This was because his right leg and half of his butt were gone.
At the position where he was originally standing, a scattered fire light that had just dissipated and the minced meat in the sky had just landed on the ground, and half of the fragmented and bloody thing was thrown away not far away, which was his right leg that had just grown on his body.
After a half blink of an eye, Tang Jianyu found the reason for all this. On the corner of the wall in the distance, a cannon barrel on a mechanical beast was emitting blue smoke.
Tang Jianyu responded to the sneak attack without having to blink. With a wave of his hand, the unpredictable iron cone appeared on Li Shishi's chin, and drilled into the gap of the black and earth armor on his face along a dead corner of his sight, and then stirred his inexplicable face and his entire head together.
But at the last moment when the Xuanwu earth armor and that face were stirred up together, Tang Jianyu also saw clearly that the expression under the earth armor was indeed not the expression of a sneak attacker, so he was stunned again. This was the only opponent in the hall with the ability to move. Who else could he be?
A slight creaking sound came from all the surrounding organ beasts. The organ beasts arranged by the wall were slowly moving their firearm barrels at Tang Jianyu on the ground. Then Tang Jianyu suddenly turned his gaze to the fat man who had been lying in the distance, who had always thought he had died long ago.
Luo Yuanyun was not dead yet. Although it seemed that it was not much different from death now, excessive blood loss had blurred his consciousness. The expressions in the big round eyes had begun to dissipate. The last trace of spiritual light and spirit that could be condensed was locked on Tang Jianyu with incomparable anger. In his remaining bloody palm, the divine light soldier talisman was emitting a hazy light curtain, just like when he was in Zeng Jiuwen's hand.
"How is it possible..." Even with the nerves and willpower of the Tang Sect disciples, which can definitely be called the best in the world, Tang Jianyu screamed out hysterically. But the next moment, the roar of the explosion of the firearm completely drowned his voice. The concentrated shooting of dozens of machine-made beasts and firearms around him, and in a dense explosion, the body of the eleventh young man in the Tang family was torn to pieces like a piece of paper and burned to ashes.
ps: The two chapters of these two updates are to thank those friends who gave rewards. Thank you very much.
But there is no more fight. In fact, it is mainly because the child has plenty of time to go back to the countryside these two days. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
