Chapter 130: The Three Return Safely

The three continued forward and soon returned to the previous cave.

The Elder had been waiting for a long time, and seeing the three return safely, his hanging heart finally let go.

"How was it? Was everything resolved?" the Elder asked.

Tang Yun nodded, "Nidhogg has been eliminated by me."

The Elder stroked his beard and said gratifyingly, "Good, very good! Thanks to you this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Tang Tian couldn't wait to describe the battle scene just now, and the Elder exclaimed in wonder repeatedly.

"I didn't expect you to be able to trigger such powerful strength; it seems your potential far exceeds my imagination." The Elder looked at Tang Yun, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"It was just luck," Tang Yun said modestly.

After resting for a while, the Elder proposed returning to the sect to report this matter to the Sect Master.

The four left the cave and flew toward the direction of the sect.

Just shortly after they left, a black shadow appeared silently at the entrance of the cave.

The black shadow was shrouded in darkness, its face could not be seen, only a pair of scarlet eyes flickered with a cold light.

"Tang Yun... you just wait! I will definitely make you pay the price!" The black shadow let out a low roar and then disappeared into the darkness.

After returning to the sect, Tang Yun reported the details of the matter to the Sect Master.

After hearing this, the Sect Master was also greatly shocked. He didn't expect Tang Yun to possess such powerful strength, being able to eliminate Nidhogg all by himself.

"You did very well, Tang Yun. You have made a great contribution this time, and the sect will definitely reward you well," the Sect Master said.

Tang Yun didn't care about the reward; he was more concerned about the secret of the crystal power.

"Sect Master, I want to know about the crystal power," Tang Yun asked.

The Sect Master pondered for a moment and said, "Crystal power is our sect's secret, only disciples who reach a certain realm can come into contact with it. Your current strength is not enough to understand these things; when your strength improves in the future, I will naturally tell you."

Although Tang Yun was a bit disappointed, he also knew that the Sect Master's words made sense.

His current strength was indeed too weak, and rashly coming into contact with those profound things might instead be counterproductive.

"I understand, Sect Master," Tang Yun said respectfully.

After leaving the Sect Master's hall, Tang Yun returned to his residence.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

He wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible and unlock the secret of the crystal power early.

Just then, he suddenly felt an unusual aura approaching.

He opened his eyes abruptly and looked around vigilantly.

"Who?" Tang Yun shouted coldly.

A black shadow slowly walked out from the darkness.

The black shadow was tall and shrouded in a black cloak, its face could not be seen.

"Who are you?" Tang Yun asked again, his tone filled with caution.

The black shadow let out a cold laugh, "I am the person who has come to take your life!"

As soon as the words fell, the black shadow turned into a streak of black light and pounced toward Tang Yun.

Tang Yun was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to block.

"Clang!"

With a loud sound of metal collision, Tang Yun was shaken back several steps.

He looked closely and discovered that the black shadow was holding a black dagger, and the dagger was emitting an eerie black light.

"You are... Shadow Demon?" Tang Yun recognized the identity of the black shadow, and his heart sank.

Shadow Demon was a notorious assassin in the jianghu; he killed people like hemp, his methods were cruel, and no one had ever been able to escape from his hands.

Tang Yun didn't expect that he would become the target of Shadow Demon.

"It seems you have already recognized me," Shadow Demon said with a cold laugh, "Today is your death day!"

Tang Yun took a deep breath, and the golden long sword shone even brighter.

He knew that today's battle was unavoidable, and the odds were against him.

He had long heard of Shadow Demon's notoriety, and the people who could escape from his hands could be counted on one's fingers.

"Want to kill me? Then let's see if you have the ability!"

Tang Yun shouted sternly, the spiritual power in his body running wildly, and the golden light flowed around his body like an indestructible barrier.

Shadow Demon laughed coldly, "Your tone is quite big, but I don't know if you have the strength to match it!"

Before the words fell, Shadow Demon's figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness again.

Tang Yun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly spread his spiritual sense to perceive every movement around him.

Suddenly, he felt a chill coming from behind, and without thinking, he thrust his sword backward.

"Clang!"

Another sound of metal clashing, Tang Yun only felt his hand go numb, and the long sword in his hand almost flew out.

"Such fast speed!" Tang Yun was secretly shocked; Shadow Demon's speed was much faster than he had imagined, almost reaching a point where it was difficult for the naked eye to capture.

Having missed a strike, Shadow Demon didn't continue to attack but disappeared into the darkness again.

Tang Yun didn't dare to be careless; he knew that Shadow Demon must be nearby, waiting for an opportunity to act.

He held his breath and focused, perceiving every change around him, not daring to have the slightest relaxation.

The atmosphere in the room became unusually tense, terrifyingly silent, as if one could hear a needle drop on the ground clearly.

Suddenly, Tang Yun felt a faint air fluctuation coming from the left, and he swung his sword to the left without hesitation.

"Swish!"

With a light sound, Tang Yun felt his blade seem to have cut something.

Immediately after, a black shadow staggered out from the darkness, clutching its arm and groaning in pain.

"You... you actually..." Shadow Demon looked at Tang Yun in disbelief; he didn't expect that he would be wounded by Tang Yun.

Tang Yun ignored Shadow Demon's shock; he pressed his advantage and swung his sword at Shadow Demon again.

Although Shadow Demon was injured, his reaction was still quick; he hurriedly dodged, barely avoiding Tang Yun's attack.

"Damn it!" Shadow Demon cursed lowly; he didn't expect that he would be forced to such a point by an unknown kid.

He clutched his injured arm, and his figure disappeared into the darkness again.

Tang Yun didn't pursue; he knew Shadow Demon's speed was extremely fast, and even if he pursued, he might not be able to catch up.

Moreover, his current spiritual power consumption was relatively large, and continuing to fight would be very disadvantageous for him.

He stood in place, vigilantly observing the movements around him, waiting for Shadow Demon to appear again.

Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the room remained tense.

Suddenly, Tang Yun heard a slight movement coming from the roof.

He looked up and saw a black shadow standing on the beam, looking down at him from above.

"You really came after all," Tang Yun said coldly.

Shadow Demon laughed coldly, "Since I have accepted the mission, I will definitely complete it."

"Then come on!" Tang Yun raised his long sword and pointed it at Shadow Demon, "Let me see how much ability you really have!"

Shadow Demon's figure flashed, jumped down from the beam, and pounced toward Tang Yun. ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
