Chapter 113: Consider it

……

Before long, Tang San successfully unleashed his hidden potential and killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider. However, he had now reached his limit, both in terms of physical strength and mental energy.

After disguising himself, Nan Feng, his entire body wrapped in black cloth, finally stepped out from the shadows and arrived before Tang San, eyeing the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the purple spirit ring hovering above it.

Tang San, kneeling on one knee, looked at the man in black with a stiff expression.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

He hadn't detected this person's presence at all just now; this person's strength was far above his own! "Don't be nervous, little friend, I have no ill intentions toward you."

A demonic voice filled with enchantment emanated from beneath the black robe. At the same time, cold red light, chilling to the bone, flickered where the eyes should be, making one feel a sense of dread.

"May I ask, Senior, what is your business?" Tang San wanted to force himself up, but he found he no longer had the strength. Even maintaining his current half-kneeling posture was a struggle; if he relaxed even slightly, he would collapse to the ground.

"Just passing through," Nan Feng said.

"However, I just saw something quite interesting."

"Little friend, those eyes of yours that flashed with purple light, those strange hands, that eerie footwork, that unique breathing method, and your means of circulating spirit power—where did they come from?"

"This old man is a bit curious."

Tang San's expression stiffened. "What do you mean, Senior?"

He had displayed the Tang Sect's unique skills many times before in front of outsiders, but those people had only regarded them as some peculiar movement techniques. This person had actually discerned the anomalies in his breathing rhythm and even his spirit power circulation! A master!

Stronger even than Flender! "It means nothing. I am a person of advanced age, and I don't have many hobbies, I just happen to like strange and curious things," Nan Feng said.

"Little friend, are you interested in exchanging some pointers with me?"

"Apologies, Senior, these methods of mine cannot be passed on to outsiders," Tang San said in a deep voice.

"Really?" Nan Feng vanished from where he stood, and the next instant, without the slightest warning, he appeared before Tang San.

So fast!

Tang San suppressed his shock.

A speed that his Purple Demon Eye couldn't track at all!

"Are you sure you won't consider it?" Nan Feng's red-glowing eyes locked with Tang San's.

"……"

Tang San's mind raced.

This person's aura of absolute certainty meant this could never end well. Now that Flender and Zhao Wuji were not here, if he could…

"Don't think about stalling for time," Nan Feng said eerily.

"Little friend, I saw it. That Titan Giant Ape just now snatched away a little girl. She is very important to you, right?"

Tang San's expression stiffened. "What are you trying to say, Senior?"

"I'll ask again: are you sure you won't consider it?" Nan Feng asked.

Tang San was silent for a moment. "Senior, can you help me rescue Xiao Wu?"

"A trade?" Nan Feng straightened up.

"I help you rescue that little girl, and you hand over those strange things from just now to me?"

"I can only give you one," Tang San said.

Nan Feng's gaze narrowed. "Do I look like I'm negotiating with you?"

As he spoke, a terrifying mental pressure erupted from Nan Feng's body.

Tang San felt as if his brain were about to explode, his entire body becoming incredibly heavy, and he slammed hard into the ground.

"Kill me, and you will get nothing," Tang San's weak voice came from the ground.

"Xiao San!"

"Tang San!"

The shouts of Zhao Wuji and the others rang out from not far away, and a glimmer of hope flickered in Tang San's eyes once more.

"Who goes there!" Zhao Wuji stared fixedly at the black-robed figure standing before Tang San.

"Teacher Zhao, save..."

Boom!!! Before Tang San could finish his sentence, Nan Feng vanished from his spot. Reappearing, he kicked Zhao Wuji away with a single blow, leaving him in an unknown state of life or death.

"Save what?"

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Nan Feng flashed back to stand before Tang San.

"Save you? Relying on him?"

"……" An invisible yet incredibly heavy pressure blanketed the heads of everyone present; even Yu Xiaogang dared not utter a single word in such a situation.

Zhao Wuji had been taken out in a second!

He had taken out Zhao Wuji without even using his martial soul!

A monster!

"I will give you one last chance," Nan Feng said, crouching down and placing a hand on Tang San's head.

"Is it a trade, or shall we part ways?"

"You rescue Xiao Wu first!" Tang San said in a deep voice.

"Very well," Nan Feng stood up.

"Wait a moment."

As the words fell, Nan Feng's figure vanished from the spot once more.

"Xiao San!"

After confirming the other party had gone far away, Yu Xiaogang hurried over and helped Tang San up from the ground.

"Oscar! Quick! Recovery Sausage!"

"Ah? Oh!" Oscar snapped out of his daze, hurriedly produced a Recovery Sausage, ran over, and fed it to Tang San.

However, this bit of Recovery Sausage had little effect on Tang San, who was severely injured and suffering from excessive exhaustion.

"Xiao San, who was that guy just now?" Oscar asked nervously.

"How did you provoke such a monster?"

He kicked Zhao Wuji away with one blow! "I don't know. I chased him here, and that guy suddenly appeared," Tang San said.

"Then you..."

"Damn it!"

Just as Yu Xiaogang wanted to ask what exactly had happened, an old man, accompanied by an old woman and a young girl, ran over from the dense forest and stood beside the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"Who killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider!" Meng Shu roared in anger.

"It's you!" Meng Yiran quickly recognized Oscar, who had snatched her Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake.

"Grandfather, during the day, it was them who snatched my Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake!"

Meng Shu's gaze narrowed. "Good! Truly, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Where is Flender!"

"Senior, please calm your anger!" Tang San, thinking of something, stood up.

"Dean Flender was just struck away by a mysterious person, and we are also looking for him."

"This Human-Faced Demon Spider was also killed by that mysterious person."

"A mysterious person?" Meng Shu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Boy, don't think about spouting nonsense about some mysterious person at a time like this. I haven't even settled the account for the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake with you yet!"

"Senior, please calm your anger. The matter of the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake was indeed our fault, and the Dean is also very regretful. During the day, the Dean intended to discuss with this old senior and help find another suitable spirit beast as compensation, but he didn't expect this old senior to leave without a word. The Dean was only looking for Senior Snake Lady, which is how he provoked that mysterious person," Tang San said.

"Hm?" Meng Shu's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Chao Tianxiang.

Chao Tianxiang nodded. "I was worried that guy would be detrimental to us at the time, so I didn't dare to linger."

"Hmph!" Meng Shu snorted coldly and turned back to Tang San.

"Boy, don't think you can get away with just a few words. Where is Flender?"

He had heard of the reputation of the Golden Iron Triangle's Flender, though it wasn't a good one—he was known for being greedy for small gains. However, he didn't believe Flender would dare to risk offending the Dragon-Snake family.

What this boy said might not be a lie.

"Senior, I just said, the Dean's whereabouts are currently unknown, and even our Teacher Zhao was attacked by that mysterious person." As he spoke, Tang San pointed in the direction where Zhao Wuji had been kicked.

"Take a look."

Meng Shu looked intently, his expression changing slightly.

What terrifying power!

This person's cultivation was not below his own! "Senior, if you want to settle accounts, that mysterious person will be back soon. You might as well wait a moment," Tang San said.

"In any case, the people here cannot escape from your hands, can they?"
