Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Seven
Tang Yin dodged Gulu's counterattack with his agile movements once again.
Ge Lu attacked, Tang Yin dodged, and the two of them went back and forth. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged ten rounds of blows.
Tang Yin had not made a single move, and in the eyes of the Besa nobles, he was already defeated by Gulu without any strength to fight back. The surrounding cheers and jeers rose and fell, and people were just waiting to see Tang Yin make a fool of himself.
In fact, Tang Yin was just probing Gru, and after ten rounds, he had already figured out Gru's bottom line. This black man didn't have too many combat skills, the only thing worth boasting about was his own quality, strong body, great strength, fast speed, long arms and legs, but relying on these alone, in Tang Yin's eyes, he couldn't even be considered a third-rate master.
When Ge Ruo stabbed again, Tang Yin's body bounced back and retreated several steps away. Then he straightened his body, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a wine cup, swaying it at Ge Ruo, saying: "I'll kill you with one hand, in one move!"
Ge Lu didn't understand what he meant by this, but could hear the contempt in his tone. He let out a loud roar and once again charged at Tang Yin with his spear.
Just as the two were about to make contact, Tang Yin's figure suddenly rose like a ghost and landed beside Gulu, his wine cup aimed at the latter's shiny black head, smashing down fiercely.
It's too fast, it's so sudden that people can't react.
Gulu just felt a flash of shadow in front of him, and then a severe pain came from the top of his head.
With a crisp crack, the crystal glass in Tang Yin's hand hit Gulu's parietal bone, and the wine glass shattered. Tang Yin was anxious and his eyes were wide with fear. He swung his two fingers, just catching a piece of crystal debris in mid-air, and then his fingers slid smoothly across Gulu's neck.
He spoke slowly, but in reality he was extremely fast. He smashed the wine cup, clutched the shards, and slashed them across Gru's throat. This entire sequence of actions was completed in an instant while his body was still airborne. By the time Tang Yin landed on the ground, he had already turned his back to Gru without even looking back once, and with a flick of his two fingers, he sent the shards flying out from between them.
At this time, looking at Gulu again, his neck was cut open with a three-inch long mouth, and the trachea and blood vessels were cut off together. He threw away the long spear, covered his neck with both hands, and fresh blood kept flowing out of the gap between his fingers.
"Ah——"
The surrounding nobles saw this and were frightened, their faces changing color involuntarily as they retreated one after another.
Ge Lu wanted to take a breath, but Zhang Da's big mouth couldn't suck in any air, he wanted to speak and ask for help, but not a single word could come out, only strange gurgling sounds came from his throat.
Thud! He knelt weakly to the ground, turned his head, and looked at Kneiss with an almost desperate gaze.
Kennis was also stunned at this time. Who would have thought that the most powerful gladiator in Besa City, could be killed with just one wine cup by Tang Yin without even using his spiritual martial arts? This is simply unbelievable and terrifying to the extreme.
He didn't respond to Gulu, but instead stared at Tang Yin with wide eyes, unable to utter a word, leaving only his heavy breathing.
Tang Yin walked to the dying Gulu, who was still breathing weakly. He looked at Tang Yin with pleading eyes, his mouth opening and closing as if he wanted to say something.
Tang Yin could understand the pain of being beheaded before his death, he raised his arm, clenched his fist and struck a punch, hitting Gulu's temple.
This is a heavy punch that can kill anyone on the spot. The soft bone of Gulu's temple was crushed by Tang Yin's fist, and the whole person flew out horizontally, and after falling to the ground, he died on the spot.
He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his hands casually, saying slowly: "I told you earlier that you would lose a very capable slave, Your Excellency the Duke."
Kneiss finally came to his senses, and his face also changed to look extremely ugly. He glared at Tang Yin fiercely, let out a furious hum, didn't say anything, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeve.
As soon as Ke Ni Si walked out, the banquet hall was like a pot exploding, people were talking and discussing, and the eyes looking at Tang Yin also changed to be both surprised and fearful.
At first they did not look up to Tang Yin, but the latter's skillful and stunning blow can be said to have shocked all the nobles of Besa.
King Besa Sánchez had Gru's body dragged out, and the servants swarmed in to wipe up the bloodstains on the floor. Before long, the banquet hall was back to normal, as if no fight had taken place, except for a faint scent of blood hanging in the air.
Sanchez walked towards Tang Yin, chuckled and praised: "Really didn't expect it, General Tang has not only an outstanding spiritual martial arts, but also such a fierce close combat skills." Sanchez was genuinely admiring Tang Yin, and also genuinely fearful of him. If he wasn't from the Empire of Hwangtian, but rather from Bessa, Sanchez would have undoubtedly recruited him under his command, granting him high office and noble titles. Unfortunately, reality was exactly the opposite.
At this time, other people in the venue also gathered around, chatting with Tang Yin and offering him wine.
The Besa people are more militaristic than the Feng people, worshipping the strong. Tang Yin killed Ge Lu without arousing hostility from the Besa nobles, instead inspiring awe and increasing their courtesy towards him.
Tang Yin was a drinker who feared no one, drinking as much as he wanted without worrying about getting drunk. On the contrary, it was Yu Guan who was reminded by Tang Yin not to be too greedy, or else he would end up with nothing.
The white-robed woman beside Sanchez also walked over, and a Basque-style sword appeared in her hand at some point. She charged towards Tang Yin with a cold face and said, "I want to fight you again!"
Tang Yin was taken aback, what's this about a rematch? Had he ever clashed with her before?
Seeing him looking dazed, the white-robed woman spoke seriously: "Last time you entered the palace, I once fought with you."
"Ah!" Tang Yin suddenly remembered that the last time he rushed into the Palace of Bessa, there was indeed a female Ling warrior beside Sanchez, and as soon as she made her move, she used the skill "Blood Soul Pursuit" on him, which was quite formidable. However, at that time, she was wearing a Ling armor, so Tang Yin couldn't recognize her now.
He looked up and down at the woman in white, unable to see that the female warrior was such a beautiful and delicate girl. He smiled calmly and said slowly: "So it's you."
"Do you dare to fight me again?" The white-robed woman's eyes were icy cold, and the sword in her hand was raised slightly, as if she would draw it out and engage in a fierce battle with Tang Yin at any moment.
Before Tang Yin could respond, Sanchez glared at the woman in white, stopping her provocation. He then smiled at Tang Yin and introduced, "She is my daughter, Princess Xue Na. If she has offended you, General Tang, please don't mind." Sanchez knew his own daughter's temper all too well, and he had also seen how formidable Tang Yin was just now. Trying to provoke Tang Yin would be a lesson learned from Gulu's mistake earlier.
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is being too serious."
Not to mention that Shuona is a princess, just because she's a woman, Tang Yin doesn't want to fight her.
Blocked by her father, Xiao Na was indignant but also didn't dare to insist anymore.
The banquet then proceeded smoothly, with no one else coming to trouble Tang Yin. As the banquet drew to a close, Sanchez invited Tang Yin to stay overnight at the official residence in Beisa City instead of returning to his own camp outside the city.
Tang Yin originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, if he refused, it would seem like he was timid and didn't dare spend the night in the city. He nodded his head and smiled: "Then I won't be polite."
Bai Su liked boldness and naturally appreciated Tang Yin's bold personality. Sanchez smiled and ordered his men to arrange accommodations for Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was willing to stay overnight in Beisa City, and a sharp light flashed through Xiao Na's eyes, silently making up her mind.
Led by Wang Ting's officials, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang left the palace and headed for the temporary residence.
On the way, Tang Yin said to Shangguan Yuanrang: "Yuanrang, you go out of the city to our camp and live there, and inform everyone that I will stay in the city overnight."
Throwing down Tang Yin alone, how can Shangguan Yuan let go of his worries? He asked suspiciously: "I'm leaving, what will you do, sir?"
Now Shangguan Yuan is more and more admiring of Tang Yin. If only considering the fighting skills, he himself also admits that he can't compare with Tang Yin.
Tang Yin smiled and said in a low voice: "Yuan Rong, don't forget what your mission is here, can't you tell which side is the priority?"
Shangguan Yuan let out a sudden "ah", then immediately understood, he laughed and patted his own head, cupped his hands and said: "I understand." After speaking, he didn't delay any further, turned his horse's head around and quickly headed towards the camp of his own troops outside the city.
The mansion in Besa City is very luxurious, and the decorations inside are even comparable to those of a royal palace. Whether or not this is a face-saving project for Besa, living here is indeed very comfortable.
Shangguan Yuanrang rode his horse at full gallop, quickly leaving the city of Beisa and arriving at his own camp. He dismounted swiftly, nodded slightly to the surrounding personnel, and then strode rapidly to the front of the carriage.
At this time, Cheng Jin and Lu Fang hurried over. When they left, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang were walking together. How did it become that by the evening only Shangguan Yuanrang returned alone? Where did Tang Yin go?
Shangguan Yuan was just about to lift the curtain of the horse carriage when Cheng Jin took a step ahead and grabbed his clothes, asking in a low voice: "General Shangguan, where is your master?"
"Is it the Grand Official?" Upper Officer Yuan let out a smile and nodded his head towards the carriage, saying: "The Grand Official is naturally inside!"
"What?!" Cheng Jin and Lu Fang were both shocked. How could the master possibly be in the carriage? They had clearly seen Tang Yin enter the city, but hadn't seen him return, so how could he be inside?!
Shangguan Yuan's body shook, and he flung off Cheng Jin's palm, lifting the carriage curtain as he said, "When will Master's true self stop hiding in the carriage?"
As he lifted the curtain of the carriage, everyone looked again and saw that there were two people sitting inside. One was Qiu Zhen, and the other was not Tang Yin, but who?!
Everyone was stunned when they saw Tang Yin in the carriage. If he is here, then who is the 'master' that entered the city and negotiated with the Besa people?
Cheng Jin was the first to react, his eyes lit up as he stared at Tang Yin in surprise: "Shadow Clone?"
What he said is right, Tang Yin indeed used Shadow Clone.
Bai Sa negotiated a truce, but who knows whether it's true or false? No one dares to guarantee that this isn't a trap. He didn't want to risk his own life, so he used his dark shadow to create a duplicate of himself and had the duplicate enter the city in his place.
This is also the reason why Tang Yin only brought Shang Guanyu into the city, once something unexpected happens, with Shang Guanyu's cultivation, he doesn't need to kill the enemy, self-protection will be no problem, and his own avatar can be abandoned, even if he gets killed, it won't hurt.
