Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 202 The glory that cannot be desecrated!

"I...did it?!"

Feeling the "Alchemy Furnace" that had already taken shape in his body, and sensing a "Qi Pill" quietly floating in the "Alchemy Furnace", Tang Tingfeng stared and whispered to himself with an expression of surprise.

Then, he felt a chill on his back and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He thought he was going to die, but when he turned around and looked back, it was as if he was in a dream.

"what!"

After a moment's reaction, Tang Tingfeng's mind gradually became clearer. He suddenly recalled the clear stream at the entrance and immediately frowned...

"It seems... to be some kind of liquid medicine?"

As a member of the Tang Sect, he was naturally very familiar with various medicines, but when he tasted them carefully, he could not distinguish the ingredients at all. If it were not for the slight fragrance left in his mouth, he would even suspect that it was just an illusion.

"Xu Xin..."

Unable to figure out the answer, Tang Tingfeng suddenly looked up at Xu Xin opposite him and asked.

"Did you just feed me some medicine?"

"medicine?"

Xu Xinwen was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Tang Tingfeng carefully.

"No, no one could get close to you in that situation just now. You suddenly got up again by yourself."

Then he seemed to realize something.

"What's going on? What happened just now?"

"Um……"

After hearing Xu Xin's answer, Tang Tingfeng lowered his head again and fell into deep thought, starting to wonder whether everything that had just happened was an illusion.

But no matter how he recalled and felt it, he couldn't judge the real touch before as an illusion, but there was indeed no one around him just now...

"How on earth is this..."

And just then...

"Don't think about it. I was the one who gave her the medicine just now."

A voice suddenly sounded, startling everyone present and instantly alert.

Then, in full view of everyone, a masked figure slowly emerged. The khaki mask came into everyone's sight, as well as the pair of indifferent eyes under the mask.

"who?!"

The next moment, all the people in the Tang Sect reacted instantly, stood up, and began to circulate Qi at the same time...

It can be seen that they were not polite at all to the uninvited guests who dared to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Tang Sect. They did not even intend to ask about their origins. Everyone calmly put their hands into their sleeves, ready to attack at any time.

Zhang Kun saw this...

"..."

He just glanced at everyone coldly and then spoke.

"I just saved someone from your Tang Sect and helped him successfully refine the 'Dan Shi'. Is this how you thank me?"

"What did you say!!!"

Hearing what he said, everyone widened their eyes and looked at Tang Tingfeng who was bewildered. Tang Tingfeng was also stunned at this time, his eyes flickering constantly.

"This... could it be?"

And this time...

"Well……"

Xu Xin, who had been watching coldly and not taking any action, finally stood up, narrowed his eyes, looked this guy up and down, and then asked:

"Are you from the 'Heavenly Court'?"

In the past six months, Tang Miaoxing had visited him quite often in order to convince him to succeed the position of the sect leader. Naturally, he brought a lot of news from the outside world, including that from "Heaven".

"Yes, you are Xu Xin, one of the 'thirty-six thieves' back then?"

Facing the only... no, the only two people in the Tang Sect who have mastered the "Dan Shi" skill, Zhang Kun did not give in. After all, Brother Ye had already said that they came here to give these guys an opportunity, so naturally they had to behave themselves.

And the next second...

clap clap clap!

Hearing his words, all the Tang Sect disciples took a step forward and clenched their hands in their sleeves. The existence of Xu Xin was a top secret for the Tang Sect that could not be revealed to outsiders. Although they didn't know how this guy knew it, they obviously wouldn't let him leave easily.

But what they didn't expect was...

"Okay, everyone, back off."

Xu Xin suddenly spoke up, signaling everyone to stop, then he walked up to the other party with his hands behind his back and looked at them.

"How did you know?"

After standing still, Xu Xin immediately asked, the fact that he was hiding in Tang Tomb should only be known by a few people in the sect, and these people are the core members of the Tang Sect who can be absolutely trusted, so it should be impossible for the news to leak out.

The only method he could think of was to use abilities such as "memory exploration" to obtain information while these people were out on missions. Therefore, he immediately suspected the Lu family. Their "Soul-Clearing Technique" was just this kind of technique!

But it was obvious that the masked man in front of him would not tell him, and remained silent in response to his question, staring at him motionlessly with his eyes...

"..."

"Forget it, how about you tell me the purpose of your coming here?"

Xu Xin waited for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and changed the subject. From what this guy just said, it can be seen that he did not come here with malicious intent, so his real purpose is self-evident.

"Senior Xu is straightforward!"

Seeing that Xu Xin was not going to take action and seemed to be interested in talking to him, Zhang Kun nodded and looked at Tang Tingfeng.

"I believe you have also seen that the purpose of our coming here is very simple, that is, to discuss a cooperation with the Tang Sect. As long as you agree, Tang Sect disciples will no longer have to risk their lives to practice 'Dan Shi' in the future, and everyone can practice it!"

"what?!"

Hearing the words "Anyone can achieve success in refining it", the Tang Sect disciples nearby were all shocked and subconsciously wanted to scold.

But then, they remembered what happened to Master Tingfeng just now, and couldn't help but look at Master Tingfeng. If what this guy said was true, then Master Tingfeng narrowly escaped death and refined "Dan Shi" because...

"Humph!"

However, just when all the Tang Sect disciples were distracted, Xu Xin's face darkened and he snorted coldly.

"You said... everyone can achieve enlightenment?"

In an instant, a dangerous aura emanated from his body, and his expression became ferocious. He looked as if he might attack at any time, as if he had been insulted.

This is also the characteristic of the people of the Tang Sect. In their eyes, "Dan Shi" is like a myth. It is the foundation of the entire Tang Sect and it also carries the faith and spiritual heritage of the Tang Sect over the years.

Until now, comprehending "Dan Shi" between life and death has become the pride of every Tang Sect disciple. This is the "final trial" that they yearn for and have no fear of. It is also the last level that the world's top assassins must go through!
It can be said that "Dan Shi" is not only an extremely powerful magic for the Tang Sect, but also the root of the Tang Sect's existence and the source of all the Tang Sect's pride. No one is allowed to blaspheme or insult it...

There is no doubt that Zhang Kun's words were like stepping on the faces of the people in the Tang Sect, making their proud "Dan Shi" become a common sight. That's why Xu Xin had this reaction, and it's not just him...

The other disciples present also had angry expressions on their faces and looked over ferociously!
"..."

"Ah……"

However, facing the angry eyes of the crowd, Zhang Kun simply sneered and then spoke nonchalantly.

"It seems that the end of the Tang Sect will be inevitable in the future."

"What did you say!"

"Fuck you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Tang Sect disciples could no longer hold back and raised their hands, ready to take action. Even Tang Tingfeng, who had just refined the "Dan Shi", did the same. This had already touched their bottom line!

"Stop it all!"

But then, Xu Xin shouted in a deep voice to stop everyone. After everyone was quiet, he looked at Zhang Kun again.

"Looking at you like this, do you think that our Tang Sect won't take action?"

"Then you are wrong!"

Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand, which had been behind his back, blasted out like lightning, and the Tang Sect's "Instant Strike" was launched in an instant. This attack was so powerful that it directly covered all of Zhang Kun's vital points!
But... wow——

"Um?!"

The moment Xu Xin's palm touched Zhang Kun's body, Zhang Kun turned into a handful of sand and disappeared with the wind.

next second...

wow——

"No, I don't think you won't fight. I'm just confident that even if you put all of you together, you are no match for me. As the strongest person here, you can't even touch my body, so how can you fight?"

Zhang Kun's voice rang out, and his figure reappeared and appeared beside Xu Xin.

That’s right, this is Zhang Kun today. Compared to when he had just undergone the transformation a few years ago, his strength has risen by several levels and has reached the top of the world.

What he just displayed was not the ability he got from Xia Ye, but a spell he created over the past few years through his comprehension of his own aura and the combination of the "Earth-Walking Immortal". It is called - "Earth-Walking Immortal"!
As the name suggests, this "Earth Immortal Escape" is derived from the "Earth-Walking Immortal", or can be said to be a further sublimation of the "Earth-Walking Immortal". It not only allows the caster to escape underground, but also can use the mysterious elements related to "land" to form various spells and achieve ever-changing capabilities!
Of course, it has only been a year since Zhang Kun mastered this technique and he is still exploring it. But even so, it is enough for him to look down on most of the extraordinary people in the world and he has already stepped into another level!
"This is?!"

Xu Xin was shocked when he saw this. He had never heard of or seen the magic that this guy just performed before, and he couldn't even understand the principle behind it!
This is not surprising. After all, Zhang Kun's "Earth Immortal Escape" has already involved the mysterious level of heaven and earth, and the Tang Sect's magic can only "Dan Shi" can touch the threshold. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to comprehend it. Considering that Xu Xin has been decadent for so many years, it is impossible for him to have such a breakthrough.

"Now, can we have a good talk?"

At this moment, Zhang Kun still had an indifferent expression. After the shock just now, he thought the conversation would be simpler afterwards.

However, it can be seen that he has not completely relaxed at this moment. His entire attention has been fixed on Xu Xin and Tang Tingfeng. Just as Xia Ye reminded him before, even with his current level of cultivation, he will never be able to withstand the "Dan Shi". This is the most terrifying thing about the "Dan Shi"!

"..."

At this time, after realizing that he was indeed no match for the opponent, Xu Xin calmed down again and waved his hands behind him.

"Okay, sit down, and be quiet."

As the "leader" of this Tang Tomb, although he had no name or position, he still had the responsibility to be responsible for everyone, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that the other party was finally willing to talk, Zhang Kun chuckled, didn't say any more nonsense, and immediately pointed at Tang Tingfeng opposite him.

"Then let's get straight to the point. The man who just survived was all thanks to the medicine developed by our Heavenly Court. We can provide unlimited quantities in exchange for the friendship of the Tang Sect. I hope that the Tang Sect can stand by us when we need it!"

"Of course, we can guarantee that we will not involve the Tang Sect in any danger that would be detrimental to the sect. At most, we will only issue commissions to the Tang Sect when necessary, and we would like to ask you to give these commissions the highest priority and do your best to complete them in the shortest time possible!"

Having said that, he looked at Xu Xin again to make sure that this guy understood what he meant, and then continued:

"To put it simply, you can think of this cooperation as a long-term 'cooperative commission', and the reward for the cooperation is the potion that will allow you to successfully refine the 'Dan Shi'. You have already seen the effect of the potion."

"Of course, I also know that you, the Tang Sect, have your own persistence and may be disdainful of using such a tricky method to refine the 'Dan Shi', but as I said just now, if you do not choose to do this, in the near future, there may no longer be a Tang Sect in this world."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head with a serious expression on his face.

"What do you mean? If we don't cooperate with you, do you want to destroy our Tang Sect?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Since we came to the Tang Sect to cooperate, we came with sincerity. This approach of 'those who obey me prosper, those who disobey me perish' is not the style of our 'Heavenly Court'. What we want more is two words - 'friends'!"

Zhang Kun immediately shook his head when he saw this.

"As for why I say this, it's actually very simple. You should have heard the recent rumors. We have been in contact with various major forces, so..."

"So you not only provided us with this medicine, but also provided similar medicines to other sects. If we don't choose to cooperate, we will fall behind others and eventually be destroyed...right?"

Xu Xin also understood.

"So it seems that your so-called cooperation is actually not sincere. Cooperating with all the sects and forces... isn't it also a disguised threat?"

As one of the "thirty-six thieves", Xu Xin was undoubtedly quite smart. He figured out the key after just a little thought and immediately raised questions.

In response to his questioning, Zhang Kun simply spread his hands:
"Well, it's not wrong for you to understand it that way, but we really don't mean to threaten you in any way. All future possibilities are just natural and depend on your current choices, right?"

Then, without waiting for Xu Xin to speak further, he continued:

"Of course, I can also tell you that the Tang Sect is actually the first group of forces we have come into contact with. In other words, you still have certain advantages over other sects. It depends on whether you can grasp them..."

"At the same time, this is the greatest sincerity we can offer. If you want to ask for more, there is nothing to discuss. I believe you should also know enough about the situations of other sects and be able to predict what choices they will make."

"..."

Xu Xinwen couldn't help but remain silent again. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that what this guy said was right...

If everything is really as they say, and "Heaven" is so ambitious and wants to borrow some of their potions to stir up a bloody storm in the entire martial arts world, then the Tang Sect will not be able to stay out of it. Not to mention that the Tang Sect is an assassination sect and has feuds with many sects. At that time, it will probably face a violent revenge.

"It seems that you have figured it out. The reason why the Tang Sect has been able to stand firm for so many years is not only because of its own style of doing things, but also because of the deterrence of the outside world by the 'Dan Shi'. If the outside world is no longer afraid of the Tang Sect's 'Dan Shi', or the Tang Sect's 'Dan Shi' can no longer pose an absolute threat to the outside world because there are too few controllers, the result can be imagined..."

Seeing Xu Xin's expression change, Zhang Kun spoke again at the right time.

"And you might as well think about what harm this cooperation will bring to you. Will it break your persistence and pride? Haha... Excuse me for being blunt, but the Tang Sect is no longer as good as it used to be and is no longer suitable for today's era. If you don't find a way to reform, even if our 'Heaven' doesn't appear... it will be destroyed sooner or later!"

"!!!"

The moment they heard his words, all the Tang Sect disciples present widened their eyes. It was obvious that they all wanted to refute, but they didn't know how to start, because this was indeed the dilemma and fact that the Tang Sect was facing now!

You know, the Tang Sect's foundation has always been "assassination" and "indiscriminate killing". Unless it really violates the Tang Sect's original commission, such as national justice, no matter what the commission is, no matter who is killed...

The Tang Sect will go to pick them up!

A long time later...

Due to this unique, unafraid of sacrifice approach and extremely terrifying "professionalism", the Tang Sect has always stood firm and become an "absolutely neutral" force that will not be provoked by any other sect or force.

But now in the 21st century, in such an unprecedented era of peace, the unique skills and original characteristics of the Tang Clan seem to be gradually abandoned by the times. Today, with the existence of companies in the world and a more stable society, it seems that there is no need for a group of killers from the Tang Clan anymore!

Because of this, the new disciples of the Tang Sect have never carried out a killing mission or killed anyone. This has led to the fact that no matter how talented they are, they are unable to understand the essence of the Tang Sect's practice. They are always short of that breath and cannot truly "enter the hall"...

It can be said that there is no longer a true "killer" among the younger generation of the Tang Sect, and the Tang Sect's true "killing skills" are gradually on the verge of "inheritance interruption". Only the Tang Sect members themselves understand the helplessness of this...

It is not something that can be told to outsiders!
And at this moment...

Xu Xin also fell into silence. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh with his eyes flickering.

"Ugh--"

But at the same time, he also recalled what Tang Miaoxing had been persuading him over the years:
"The times have changed. If the Tang Sect wants to survive, it can no longer be the Tang Sect of the past. We must reform, and I hope you can do it!"

Tang Miaoxing has been persuading people like this ever since the former sect leader Yang Lie died while chasing Zhang Huaiyi. This is because Xu Xin is the only disciple in the Tang Sect who possesses the "Dan Shi" and is also the oldest person in the Tang Sect.

From a personal perspective, Xu Xin's talent and loyalty to the Tang Sect are unquestionable. From the perspective of the overall situation of the times, he and Dong Chang were the first two people in the history of the Tang Sect who dared to break through the framework of sect rules and chose to swear brotherhood with Sect Leader Quan Xing. It is verifiable that this "new era of change" is presided over by him!

"Reform..."

"Yes, it is indeed time for the Tang Sect to reform, but that person will not be me."

When Xu Xin came to this thought, he suddenly thought to himself that the "self-denial" and "sense of guilt" that had been haunting him until now also surfaced again, causing him to shake his head.

In his opinion, the current Tang Sect does need reform, but the person who will preside over this reform will definitely not be him. To the Tang Sect, he is nothing more than a complete "sinner", so how can he have such qualifications!

then……

"So, do you still have that potion, the one you gave to Tingfeng just now? Can you show it to me?"

Xu Xin raised his head and spoke slowly.

"Since we are discussing cooperation, I should at least take a look at what the things you provide look like and see if there are any problems with them. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest assured, right?"

"That's no problem, I have another copy here."

Zhang Kun nodded when he heard this. This was reasonable and they had been prepared for it. He then took out another magic weapon from the space and a glass test tube appeared in his hand.

"Well, you can check it at will. I can guarantee that there is no problem with this medicine and its efficacy is absolutely guaranteed!"

"Um……"

Xu Xin nodded upon seeing this, and immediately took the medicine and looked at it. After observing it for a moment, he pulled out the stopper and began to check it using the Tang Sect's medicine testing method.

It can be seen that he checked very seriously. After all, this involved the safety of Tang Sect disciples, so he had to be cautious. At the same time, he had his own ideas. He wanted to make some contributions to Tang Sect.

Wow!
In an instant, under his sleeves, where no one could see, an invisible vortex quietly gathered...

Rotate slowly!
