"It feels very strange that he just claimed to be Tang Hao's son,"
The crowd wore puzzled expressions, unable to believe that the man before their eyes could actually be Tang San!
On the surface, he seemed very ordinary without any distinguishing features to leave a deep impression.
"Who knows if what he says is true or false, aren't we just taking him to meet Sect Master Haotian now? He also said his aunt is Yuehua. In my view, all we need to do is show him the way, and managing other things isn't our responsibility."
The gate guard addressed the others.
Every word they spoke was overheard by Tang San, who pretended not to understand their nonsense!
"Alright, we'll take you this far. The territory of Sect Master Haotian is about ten miles ahead; you can go on your own from here. We won't accompany you any further."
The guard told Tang San.
Am I being abandoned with ten more miles to reach the Haotian Clan territory? They've actually deceived me, even though I gave them extra on the side.
Now, there are still ten miles to the Haotian Clan!
"Wait..."
Suddenly, Tang San spoke.
The men looked at him with puzzled faces.
What's he up to now, hadn't we made it clear that he has to find Haotian Clan on his own from here? Does he expect these people to continue accompanying him?
"Give me back the dozen copper coins I gave you,"
Tang San said with a cold demeanor.
To have only given them a dozen copper coins for bringing you halfway is already more than fair!
Unexpectedly, he's actually asking for the copper coins back. How badly must he need money to be such a scrimping pauper!
"What, young man, you want to take back the money you've already given out? I must be hallucinating."
"Brothers, did you hear what he just said? I sure didn't understand a word."
The man asked the others.
The crowd also looked towards Tang San as if they hadn't heard anything!
"Hiss—!"
At that moment, Tang San's eyes blazed with red light, their words had infuriated him!
"What, are you planning to deliver a fatal blow to us? Young man, I advise you not to act too impulsively; it's you who will end up suffering."
"Besides, it's only right that we took a few copper coins from you for bringing you halfway. But instead of thanking us, you feel like we shouldn't have taken your copper coins, am I right?"
"No matter what, the copper coins you gave us today will not be returned to you. Consider it a fee for showing you the way."
"Moreover, you said yourself that you're from the Tang Sect. A large family like yours won't miss this small amount of money, am I wrong?"
The man stated bluntly.
"Blue Silver Grass, attack!"
Tang San had reached his breaking point and decided to teach them a lesson!
Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul!
"Tch, this thing again."
"Hmph, I'll let you see how formidable I am."
The man immediately retorted.
He couldn't stand Tang San's irritating behavior any longer.
From the moment they first saw Tang San, they had been displeased. Half an hour ago, several of the men were beaten badly by him, and it seemed they had taken some kind of pill since then, making their courage grow larger and not afraid to attack any one of them at any moment.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
"Everyone be careful,"
The man shouted.
Longxu needle!
Hundreds of tiny silver needles shot towards the bodies of their foes.
Tang San smiled.
The words they had just spoken were as worthless as farts!
The adversaries were frightened into weakness, collapsing on the ground.
"Fine, you're strong. We won't take the dozen copper coins from you then,"
The man said begrudgingly.
Watching them act so cowardly made it all the more infuriating. It was just a minor matter; there was no need to be so scared.
"Crack—"
The man's arm was broken!
"Ah, it hurts like hell!"
The man screamed.
Seeing this, the others quickly retreated, panicked by Tang San's actions.
Had Tang San gone mad? Just over a dozen copper coins, he would break someone's arm!
"Don't you dare get in my way."
An embarrassment believing themselves powerful when in reality, they were nothing.
"Still dare to scare me? You're looking for death!"
Tang San picked up the copper coins from the ground one by one and put them into his pockets.
He turned and left.
On the other side, Ye Feng.
Was he planning to run away? That couldn't be possible—it didn't seem like something he would do!
"Senior Tang Hao, are you done for? You look like you're about to die. If you have any last words you want to say, just tell me. I promise I'll personally deliver your message, so rest assured a hundred times over."
Ye Feng mocked him with a sneer.
Looking for trouble when things are already heated up, and cursing with such a venomous tongue, aren't you afraid that Tang Hao will smash you into meat paste with a swing of his hammer!
"Bi Bidong, prepare to die!"
Tang Hao shouted at Bi Bidong.
That was his last word!!
He lifted the Hao Tian Hammer above his head and struck forcefully in Bi Bidong's direction.
"Boom—!"
Bi Bidong reacted quickly and was unharmed, but a serious expression remained on her face.
Because she hadn't achieved her goal, which was to watch Tang Hao die before her eyes, she had a mission to complete!
It seemed impossible now.
"Bam—"
A cloud of smoke engulfed and stunned everyone present.
Truly, it was like seeing a ghost.
"No good, we've been fooled."
"What are you talking about? Did Senior Tang Hao escape? That's impossible."
Looking around, they saw no sign of Tang Hao.
Sure enough, he had slipped away right under their noses.
"Tang Hao, you wait for me!"
Bi Bidong shouted angrily.
The raging Tiger Mother's fury was useless, Tang Hao had still slipped away!
"What just happened? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Du Gubo asked.
He didn't know shit; everyone was stunned while he was asleep, and when he woke up, he was clueless!
"Tang Hao has escaped."
"Senior Du Gubo, are you okay? Your injuries look severe."
Evil Moon shifted her gaze toward Du Gubo.
She knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, so she might as well take more care of the people around her.
After all, Tang Hao was hard to deal with!
"Let him go. We'll run into him later, no need to worry about not seeing him."
Ye Feng spoke up.
He was right; they were sure to encounter him again before long!
"Pope Your Holiness, should we continue on our journey now, or rest here and set off again tomorrow?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.
Not afraid of death, Chrysanthemum dared to approach and inquire.
Watching Bi Bidong's face darken throughout the ordeal, no one dared to speak up, only Ye Feng and Chrysanthemum Douluo did.
Bi Bidong, silent and seething with rage, nearly had Tang Hao within her grasp only to be counterattacked unexpectedly!
Bi Bidong waved her hand.
Everyone, keep moving, don't stop.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Ye Feng and the others promptly boarded their carriages.
Suddenly, there was no sound of commotion, only the sound of the horses' hooves and the rolling of the carriage wheels.
"Ah, I do feel a bit sorry for Pope Your Holiness. Tang Hao was almost in our hands, but it didn't turn out as we expected."
"Shut up, all of you. What's the point in saying all this now that he's escaped?"
Hulena scolded.
She couldn't stand it when people did nothing but complain and yap nonstop!
But they didn't need to do anything without Bi Bidong's orders—who would dare!
"Sister Hulena, don't get so worked up. We're just saying, after all, the Pope can't hear us, so what are we afraid of?"
Ye Feng said.
It's true that if you don't say anything, how would Bi Bidong know?
Although Bi Bidong didn't kill Tang Hao, she didn't feel regret.
At the very least, she had given him a lesson, which felt satisfying enough!
