Chapter 166

The towering ancient trees blotted out the sun, and the sunlight spilled through the gaps in the branches, forming mottled light spots on the ground.

The air was filled with rich spiritual energy, making one feel refreshed.

"Is this the White Tiger Secret Realm?" Lin Xue'er looked around curiously.

"It should be." Tang Yun wasn't too sure either, "I've never been in here before."

Qin Feng closed his eyes and carefully felt the aura around him; a moment later, he opened his eyes and said.

"The spiritual energy here is more than ten times richer than outside, and it's very pure; it's a good place for cultivation."

"Then let's cultivate here for a while." Lin Xue'er suggested.

Tang Yun nodded in agreement.

The three found an open space, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

Tang Yun operated the Chaotic Art, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy crazily.

He felt his body was like a bottomless pit, unable to be filled no matter what.

Time passed minute by minute, the Chaos Power in Tang Yun's body became more and more abundant, and his cultivation also improved steadily.

After who knows how long, Tang Yun suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching rapidly.

He opened his eyes violently and found a man in black standing not far away, watching them coldly.

"It's you!" Tang Yun recognized this man in black; it was the person who had appeared in the temple earlier.

"That's right, it's me." The man in black sneered, "Tang Yun, we meet again."

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Tang Yun asked sternly.

"Who I am is not important." The man in black said lightly, "What's important is that you are all going to die here today."

"You've got a big mouth!" Qin Feng stood up and snorted coldly, "Just you? You want to kill us?"

"Hmph, overestimating yourself." A flash of disdain crossed the man in black's eyes, "The three of you attack together, save me from wasting time."

"Arrogant!" Lin Xue'er also stood up, a long sword appearing in her hand, pointing straight at the man in black.

"Come on, let me see what skills you have." The man in black hooked his finger, provoking them.

Tang Yun and the others looked at each other and attacked simultaneously without any hesitation.

Tang Yun punched out, and the Chaos Power turned into a golden dragon, roaring toward the man in black.

Qin Feng offered the jade slip, and streaks of runes shot out, like a net of heaven and earth, enveloping the man in black.

Lin Xue'er's long sword turned into a bolt of lightning, the sharp sword qi tearing the air, aiming straight for the man in black's throat.

Facing the attacks of the three, the man in black didn't panic at all; his figure flashed, easily dodging Tang Yun's punch and Lin Xue'er's sword qi.

Then, he formed hand seals with both hands and chanted words.

"Xuanwu Shield!"

A black shield appeared in front of the man in black, blocking Qin Feng's rune attack.

"Small tricks." The man in black sneered, a black long blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed hard at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed by the blade qi, and a bloodstain appeared on his chest.

"Cloud Brother!" Lin Xue'er exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to check Tang Yun's injury.

"I'm fine." Tang Yun waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

"Careful!" Qin Feng suddenly shouted.

Tang Yun and Lin Xue'er hurriedly looked back, only to see the man in black had somehow circled behind them, the long blade in his hand slashing hard at Lin Xue'er.

At the critical moment, Tang Yun pushed Lin Xue'er away, but took the blade himself.

"Cloud Brother!" Lin Xue'er watched helplessly as the blade edge slashed into Tang Yun's shoulder, fresh blood spraying and staining her clothes red.

Tang Yun let out a muffled groan, staggering back a few steps, his face turning pale instantly.

The man in black succeeded in one strike and didn't pursue the victory, but laughed wildly instead: "Tang Yun, you have today too! Looks like your strength is just so-so."

"You..." Tang Yun gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and reached out to cover his wound.

"Cloud Brother, how are you?" Lin Xue'er asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Tang Yun shook his head, indicating he could still fight.

"Stop acting tough." The man in black sneered, "You are already seriously injured, just surrender obediently."

"You want me to surrender? Keep dreaming!" A flash of ruthlessness crossed Tang Yun's eyes; he activated the Chaotic Art, mobilizing all the Chaos Power in his body.

"Overestimating yourself!" The man in black slashed again.

Tang Yun endured the intense pain, raised his fist, and met him.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Tang Yun was shaken away, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Cloud Brother!" Lin Xue'er exclaimed and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Qin Feng.

"Xue'er, don't go over, you are no match for him." Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

"But..." Lin Xue'er looked anxiously at Tang Yun lying on the ground, her eyes full of worry.

"Trust him." Qin Feng patted Lin Xue'er on the shoulder, comforting her.

At this moment, Tang Yun struggled to crawl up from the ground; his clothes were already stained red with blood, his face as pale as paper, and his breathing became very weak.

"Tang Yun, do you want to continue?" The man in black asked with a sneer.

"Of course." Tang Yun wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said firmly, "I haven't lost yet."

"Hmph, then let me send you on your way." The man in black raised his long blade and slashed at Tang Yun again.

Just at this critical moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from Tang Yun's brow, turning into a golden shield, blocking the man in black's attack.

"What?!" The man in black's expression changed, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"This is..." Tang Yun looked at the golden shield in front of him, also full of confusion.

He had never seen this golden shield before, nor did he know where it came from.

"Hmph, small tricks!" The man in black snorted coldly and slashed again.

However, no matter how the man in black attacked, he couldn't break through the golden shield's defense.

"What the hell is this thing?" The man in black was full of confusion and shock.

Just then, Tang Yun suddenly felt a powerful force pouring into his body; his injuries healed instantly, and his aura became even more powerful than before.

"This is..." A flash of bright light crossed Tang Yun's eyes; he felt as if he understood something.

"Go to hell!" Tang Yun roared, punched out, and the Chaos Power turned into a golden dragon, roaring toward the man in black.

The man in black's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his blade to block.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the long blade in the man in black's hand broke, and he was also shaken away, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Tang Yun walked toward the man in black step by step, his eyes as cold as knives.

"You... who the hell are you?" The man in black asked in terror.

"I am Tang Yun." Tang Yun said coldly, "And also someone you can't afford to provoke."

After speaking, Tang Yun stepped on the man in black's chest, pinning him down so he couldn't move.
