745: Chapter 719: Stomp Hard 745: Chapter 719: Stomp Hard Dong Ziqi and his four followers chased after them all the way.
Originally planning to quietly surround and attack, they suddenly realized that Tangyu and Liang Youshan had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
“Where are they?” Dong Ziqi scanned his surroundings, his face filled with anger.
His four followers also started searching the area.
They had just seen the two here; how could they have disappeared in the blink of an eye?
“Brother Qi, it looks like they’ve spotted us.
We just saw them; they couldn’t have just run off.
Let’s split up and search.
I refuse to believe we won’t find them,” one follower said.
A sinister light flickered in Dong Ziqi’s eyes as he spoke, “Hmph, they can’t have gone far.
Here, they still think they can escape my grasp?
Everyone split up to search, but remember not to spread out too much.
Search slowly and be aware of your surroundings.
The moment they make a move, we’ll spot them.”
The five immediately split up to start their search, and Dong Ziqi also began to look around.
Behind a small shrub, Tangyu and Liang Youshan were hiding, Liang Youshan still looking utterly terrified.
After all, Dong Ziqi was at the Fourth Layer of the Innate Realm, a formidable force, and his four followers were at the Second and Third Layers of the Innate Realm.
Facing such a lineup, both he and Tangyu were clearly outmatched.
Not to mention the other four, even Dong Ziqi alone could easily torment the two of them.
Tangyu watched Dong Ziqi with a cold gaze; he was approaching their location.
At this moment, Tangyu was like a venomous snake lying in wait, only waiting for the best moment to pounce and deliver a fierce strike.
Tangyu was now also at the Fourth Layer of the Innate Realm.
In a head-on fight, Tangyu was not entirely confident he could defeat Dong Ziqi.
Thus, Tangyu thought of using stealth.
Since Dong Ziqi was playing dirty, Tangyu naturally didn’t need to play fair and act like a gentleman.
Tangyu also signaled Liang Youshan with his eyes, suggesting he wait for his signal to strike.
Although Liang Youshan knew he was no match for Dong Ziqi, given the situation, he wasn’t about to retreat.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to go all out.
After all, if they were going to be crushed, they might as well strike first and maybe even win a little.
Dong Ziqi slowly approached; his gaze was sharp, but he seemed not to notice Tangyu just yet.
“Attack!” Upon Tangyu’s command, the two didn’t hesitate and pounced toward Dong Ziqi.
Unleashing their full power without reserve, the two, like tigers suddenly bursting forth, roared fiercely and attacked.
“Hmm, courting death!” Surprised by the sudden sneak attack, Dong Ziqi frowned and was instantly furious, snorting angrily before promptly meeting the attack.
Although his response was quick, it was still a beat too slow.
Tangyu had already reached him, his iron fist shooting toward Dong Ziqi’s face like a meteor.
“What quick speed, what powerful punches!” Startled by Tangyu’s ferocity, Dong Ziqi’s heart skipped a beat, immediately feeling the threat of danger.
This sensation annoyed him greatly—how had this guy become so strong?
Dong Ziqi could only use his arm to block.
Tangyu’s fist heavily smashed onto Dong Ziqi’s arm, unleashing tremendous force that immediately numbed Dong Ziqi’s arm, nearly breaking it.
His arm, uncontrollably, smashed into his own face, causing Dong Ziqi to scream in pain as he staggered backward.
At that moment, Liang Youshan, too, charged forward, his fists pummeling Dong Ziqi’s chest relentlessly.
Seizing the opportunity, Tangyu naturally didn’t give Dong Ziqi any time to react, and followed up the assault, his punches landing heavily on Dong Ziqi’s face.
Overwhelmed by their fierce onslaught, Dong Ziqi was caught completely off guard, leaving him no chance to counter, effectively turning him into a human target as Tangyu and Liang Youshan attacked from both sides—an impressive sight.
This commotion naturally drew the attention of Dong Ziqi’s four followers, who all quickly came to his aid.
By the time the four followers fought their way back, Dong Ziqi had been beaten beyond recognition, his face bloody and swollen, embarrassingly disheveled.
At that point, he was sitting on the ground, utterly dazed.
If one didn’t look closely, one might not even recognize that it was Dong Ziqi.
It was a complete and utter thrashing.
This scene also left Dong Ziqi’s four followers astounded.
My god, Dong Ziqi had been beaten to such a state by these two?
With not even a chance to fight back?
That was utterly inconceivable!
In their minds, Dong Ziqi was exceptionally formidable, nearly a tyrant in the Outer Sect, and not many dared provoke him.
Not only was his strength considerable, but given his status, who would dare offend him?
It had always been Dong Ziqi who bullied others; there had never been a time when he was bullied by others.
But today, it was a bloody reality, not just being bullied but completely devastated.
It was utterly gruesome to witness, enough to make one’s heart pound with fear.
Why were they so excessively harsh?
After brutally beating Dong Ziqi, Tangyu and Liang Youshan felt extremely exhilarated and immensely refreshed.
Liang Youshan was also exceptionally surprised.
He looked at Tangyu and thought, could it really be just a couple of days?
His strength had advanced from the First Layer of the Innate Realm to the Fourth Layer?
Such an event was enough to scare someone to death, wasn’t it?
No wonder Liang Youshan was impressed; he really found it remarkable how calm Tangyu could remain.
The expression on Dong Ziqi’s blood-covered face was not discernible, but one could imagine it was extremely unpleasant.
His bloodshot eyes, filled with a look of murderous and resentful rage, were like those of a starving wolf.
When had Dong Ziqi ever suffered such humiliation?
Tangyu coldly glanced at the four men and said, “Don’t bother me again, hurry up and get lost.
If you come to annoy me again, your fate won’t be as simple as today.”
After speaking, Tangyu glanced at Dong Ziqi and then left the scene with Liang Youshan.
Honestly, Tangyu really wanted to kill them, but that thought was clearly impractical.
After all, there were still four of them, and killing them all would be challenging.
Besides, killing them here wasn’t a viable option.
Especially since Dong Ziqi was backed by the Morning Sun Hall and even had a brother who was an Inner Sect Disciple.
This time, a lesson was all they could give.
If Dong Ziqi ever decided to play tough again, Tangyu would have to find a way to kill him no matter what.
After they left, Liang Youshan couldn’t help but remark, “Well, now we’ve really made an enemy of Dong Ziqi.
I’m afraid he’ll try everything to trouble us in the future; life won’t be easy.”
“It’s my fault you’re involved,” Tangyu said with some regret.
Liang Youshan glared at Tangyu and responded, “If we’re brothers, don’t talk like that.
There’s no dragging down or not dragging down.
I’ve always disliked Liang Youshan, and I’ve wanted to beat him up for a long time.
Being able to really do it today was incredibly satisfying.
Before, I could only think about it, but haha, today it actually happened.
We’re not scared of him; let him bring trouble.
At most, we’ll just hide in the Outer Sect and not come out.
They wouldn’t dare do too much in Holy Sun Town anyway; at most, we’ll just face some minor trouble.”
“Haha, who knows, maybe this time, Tangyu, if you succeed in your cultivation, we might rise suddenly.
Then I’ll get to ride on your coattails, thriving and prospering.
By then, Dong Ziqi wouldn’t scare us anymore.
From now on, I’m following you.
You’ve got to have my back.
My future happiness is in your hands.”
Tangyu touched his nose and said, “When you say that, don’t you feel a chill in your sphincter?
Don’t entrust me with your future happiness; I don’t swing that way.”
After chatting for a bit, Liang Youshan let go of his worries; what’s done was done.
“By the way, Tangyu, are you now at the Fourth Layer of the Innate Realm?” Liang Youshan asked.
Tangyu didn’t hide it and nodded, “Yes, the Fourth Layer of the Innate Realm.”
Liang Youshan looked at him with admiration and praise, “Awesome!
Just a couple of days and you’ve jumped three layers.
Is this pace trying to scare me to death?
Can I timidly ask you to stop being so monstrous?”
a hundred Tempering Spirit Pills and one Upper Grade Spirit Stone advanced me three layers; that’s not much, right?” Tangyu said.
“Not much?” Liang Youshan’s voice suddenly rose an octave, “Tangyu, never say that anywhere else, or I’m afraid you’d get killed for being so demoralizing.
How can you say that’s not much?”
Tangyu slightly raised an eyebrow; he really wasn’t aware of that, “What do you mean by that?”
Liang Youshan swallowed hard and explained, “Although you used a hundred Tempering Spirit Pills and one Upper Grade Spirit Stone, you do realize it was less than two days, right?
If we actually calculate the time, it probably wasn’t even a day, right?
Resources can indeed rapidly enhance someone’s strength, but since they are external aids, their effect is limited.
When I joined the Outer Sect, I also swallowed a hundred Tempering Spirit Pills in one go, but guess what?
I didn’t break through to the Second Layer of the Innate Realm.”
“Later, I asked around and discovered that very few people could use a hundred Tempering Spirit Pills to jump directly to the Second Layer of the Innate Realm.
If you rely solely on resources for advancing in realm, the consumption would be terrifying, and the time required wouldn’t be short either.
It took me more than a year of cultivation to barely break into the Third Layer of the Innate Realm recently, and I still had to use a lot of Tempering Spirit Pills.
Don’t you think you’re being too demoralizing?”
“Is that so!” Tangyu was somewhat enlightened and thought it did indeed seem he was exceptionally gifted.
However, Tangyu didn’t feel anything unusual; absorbing the Tempering Spirit Pills and the Upper Grade Spirit Stone felt very easy and smooth, with no resistance whatsoever.
“Could it be because of my Pure Yang Body?
Or am I just a rare cultivation prodigy, so everything works out much better for me?
But I do feel that my cultivation of the Myriad Dynasty Sacred Heart Art is progressing very quickly.
Maybe I am a genius,” Tangyu thought to himself and smirked; this was a good thing indeed.
Liang Youshan looked at Tangyu with a face full of envy and admiration, “In the future, we should still be friends, right?”
Without hesitation, Tangyu kicked him, the scoundrel.
