The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge golden light enveloped the entire valley.

Tang Jin, who was trying to escape, was bounced back by the golden light shield!

"How could this be?"

Tang Jin stared in disbelief at the golden light shield, then drew his sword and unleashed a powerful strike!

But the golden light shield remained completely still!

Tang Jin immediately turned around and felt a chill run through his heart!

He knew he was finished!

Li Xiuyuan erected a golden light barrier, blocking all the poisonous insects and rodents!

Now, the five can be described as impregnable!

On the other hand, Tang Jin is in a terrible situation!

With nothing to eat, the poisonous insects turned their attention to Tang Jin and swarmed towards him!

"No!"

No one understands the power of these poisonous insects better than Tang Jin. If one were to fall into this sea of ​​insects, even he, the one who set up the Five Poisons Formation, would be in danger.

They were certain to die!

Immediately, Tang Jin shouted at the top of his lungs towards Li Xiuyuan inside the valley, "Mad monk, I've lost! Spare my life and let me out!"

The sound was shrill and filled with fear, which inevitably evoked pity in the listener.

However, Li Xiuyuan and the other four remained calm and stayed inside the golden light screen, showing no intention of rescuing anyone!

Xiao Se quipped from the side, "That mad monk, although he's a bit crazy, still has some compassion. He actually stood by and watched someone die without helping. It's clear that Tang Jin... is beyond redemption!"

Tang Lian, who was standing to the side with a look of pity on her face and wanted to ask Li Xiuyuan to save Tang Jin's life, was suddenly shocked!

He looked at Li Xiuyuan and found that Li Xiuyuan was lying on the back of the horse drinking!

They looked quite relaxed!

Looking at Lei Wujie again, although there was reluctance in his eyes, he still showed no intention of helping him!

Tang Lian sighed and said softly, "I guess... there's no hope for him!"

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan patted Tang Lian with his fan and said, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Since Tang Jin has murderous intentions and has used the Five Poisons Formation to kill his opponents more than once, then dying under his own formation can be considered as karmic retribution!"

"Hey!"

Tang Lian shook her head slightly and said softly, "I still don't understand why Elder Tang Jin, who used to be so kind, would turn out like this..."

"They're very kind to you, probably just because you're a very useful tool!" Xiao Se said calmly from the side. "Tools are carefully nurtured when they're useful, and discarded when they're no longer needed. So, when you're in his way, Old Master Tang can kill you without hesitation! But your master can't do that! In fact, if your master knew in advance that Old Master Tang was going to kill you, he would have saved you even if it meant betraying the Tang Clan!"

"I see, I understand now!" Tang Lian breathed a long sigh of relief!

Suddenly enlightened, he glanced at Tang Jin beside him, then turned to Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Daoji, do me a favor! Tang Jin is ruthless, but I can't be ungrateful. You guys go first, I'll go and give him a quick death. Dying in the swarm of insects isn't a pleasant experience!"

"Okay, go and come back quickly!" Li Xiuyuan raised his hand and a golden light landed on Tang Lian, forming a golden light membrane.

Tang Lian nodded slightly, then left the golden protective shield and walked towards Tang Jin's direction!

Tang Jin is currently exerting all his strength, using his true energy to continuously blast open the sea of ​​insects!

But even if he is strong, there will be a time when his true energy is exhausted.

Seeing Tang Lian approach, he thought she had come to rescue him and was overjoyed, saying, "Tang Lian, help me! I..."

Chapter 146 Entering the City

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Lian had already thrown a flying knife at her!

The sharp throwing knife sliced ​​through the air, aiming straight for the throat!

Upon seeing this slash, Tang Jin's expression changed, realizing that Tang Lian was preparing to take his life!

He immediately channeled the little true energy he had left in his body and slapped the flying knife away!

Then, panting heavily, Tang Jin looked at Tang Lian and said angrily, "Tang Lian, do you want to kill me? Do you really want to kill your own brother?"

"Fratricide? Did you think about this when you killed me? Now you remember! How laughable!"

Tang Lian shook her head slightly, completely unmoved!

He raised his hand, pointed at the swarm of insects, and said coldly with a calm smile, "Kill you? I'm just sending you on your way! Do you think you can survive? Do you deserve to live? You can choose to be buried in the swarm of insects or to die by my hand!"

Tang Jin was stunned for a moment. He looked at the surging swarm of insects around him and his heart sank!

If Tang Lian doesn't save him, he... will surely die!

But he didn't want to die!

It wasn't easy for him to become an elder of the Tang Clan, and he finally managed to reach such a position!

He still has countless ambitions he wants to realize!

How can I die here?

It would be better to endure the humiliation and beg Tang Lian for mercy. Perhaps Tang Lian would soften her heart and save his life!

As long as I can survive, it's not too late for revenge!

Thinking of this, Tang Jin looked at Tang Lian with a pleading gaze and said loudly, "Tang Lian, I admit defeat! For the sake of our shared Tang Clan, can you really just stand by and watch me die?"

"If our identities were reversed, would you save me?" Tang Lian shook her head slightly and said calmly, "You wouldn't!"

"you!"

Tang Jin was furious, but he knew that Tang Lian was telling the truth!

Seeing the ever-emerging sea of ​​insects, Tang Jin hurriedly unleashed two palm strikes, using his true energy to blast the sea of ​​insects away!

But after two strikes, Tang Jin's true energy was on the verge of being exhausted!

"Since you believe in the darkness of the martial world, then die in this dark world!" Tang Lian shook her head slightly, took out another throwing knife, and said calmly, "Elder Tang Jin, this is the last throwing knife I have. Whether you dodge it or not is up to you!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the throwing knife flew towards Tang Jin like lightning!

Tang Jin's pupils contracted slightly. Seeing Tang Lian's attitude, he knew that he was... hopeless!

But he didn't want to die at Tang Lian's hands!

Since I am going to die anyway, I must die with some dignity!

"Snapped!"

Tang Jin raised his hand and knocked the flying knife away. He stared at Tang Lian with wide, piercing eyes and an arrogant expression.

He shouted, "Tang Lian, I've killed many people with the Five Poisons Formation! But I've never experienced its power before! Now, I'm finally lucky enough to experience it! Hahaha! Let me see how powerful this Five Poisons Formation really is!"

Tang Jin laughed heartily as he charged into the Five Poisons Formation, feeling a surge of heroic spirit!

Inside the Five Poisons Formation, Tang Jin was covered by a swarm of poisonous insects. As his last bit of consciousness faded, he was filled with immense regret.

I underestimated that mad monk after all!

Is Old Master Tang really a match for this mad monk?

Was my choice really the right one?

Darkness descended, and Tang Jin lost consciousness!

Seeing this, Tang Lian also fell silent for a while!

Since this is Tang Jin's choice, he can't interfere!

The only solution is to sprinkle some insecticide. After several hours, all the poisonous insects will be killed, preventing them from harming people!

Then, they caught up with Li Xiuyuan and followed him towards Juyun City!

Not long after Tang Jin's death, news of his passing was sent by carrier pigeon to Old Master Tang.

"Hmph!" Old Master Tang slammed his hand on the table, saying angrily, "I never thought Tang Jin would die at the hands of that mad monk! Tang Lian actually betrayed me!"

Su Changhe glanced at the furious Old Master Tang, but remained unperturbed.

He took a slow sip of tea and said calmly, "Grandpa, I've already told you! That mad monk is no simpleton; he's not so easy to kill! His methods are unpredictable, and his strength is unfathomable! Just send someone to hold them off and delay them for a while! Lei Qianhu, time is running out!"

"Can't kill him?" Old Master Tang's eyes flashed with a chilling light, his voice hoarse as he sneered, "Openly, it won't work! But secretly, it's hard to say! When it comes to poison, my Tang Clan is an expert!"

Seeing this, Su Changhe shook his head slightly and said calmly, "You're sending people to their deaths! Listen to me! Send men to besiege Sword Heart Tomb! Attack it when they have to defend it! Spread the word, and as long as that mad monk is dragged to Sword Heart Tomb, that's enough!"

"We'll discuss that method later!" Old Master Tang took a sip of tea, a sinister smile on his face, and said, "I refuse to believe we can't kill that mad monk!"

Su Changhe shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

He simply instructed his subordinates to continue preparing their own plans!

Old Master Tang took out several jade bottles and handed them to Tang Jue beside him, saying, "Tang Jue, these are the poisons of the group and the Gu King. You know very well how to use them! Now go to Juyun City and take care of that mad monk!"

"Grandpa... I understand!" Tang Jue sighed; he truly didn't want to kill anyone!

Seeing this, Old Master Tang said, "Tang Jue, I'm doing this for the future of the Tang Clan, for the Tang Clan to become stronger. Killing... is an unavoidable thing!"

"I... understand!" Tang Jue took the jade bottle and disappeared from the room.

Su Changhe stood aside, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

If that mad monk were so easy to deal with, he would have acted long ago!

That mad monk, he was not so easily killed!

As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," Li Xiuyuan walked until evening before finally arriving in Juyun City.

Looking at the majestic city, Li Xiuyuan gently sniffed the air and said, "Truly, good wine needs no bush. This aroma is truly excellent! I, the monk, can't wait to eat it!"

"Why can't I smell it?" Lei Wujie imitated Li Xiuyuan, took a deep breath, and said with some confusion, "Brother-in-law, I can only smell the meat buns!"

"Tch! You little blockhead, all you know is meat buns!" Xiao Se was speechless.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan sniffed the air and said, "The dog meat in Juyun City is quite good! I'll go beg for a couple of dog legs later so you can try them!"

Xiao Se turned his head, feeling somewhat speechless!

These two guys are really... evenly matched!

Sikong Qianluo glanced at the horizon and, seeing that the sun was about to set, said, "Alright, that's enough! Let's hurry into the city; the city gates will be closing soon!"
