Chapter 80 You're So Fast

After so long without being able to kill Tang Yan, the irritation in the Flying Rhino's eyes grew even thicker. Snorting harshly, it charged at him once more.

Tang Yan still did not dodge. His body moved swiftly, taking five turning steps in succession.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Thousand Mountains Fist rang out five times in midair.

At that very moment, the Flying Rhino rushed right up to him.

Tang Yan seemed to have already seen through the angle of its attack. Without the slightest hesitation, he twisted aside. The half-meter-long horn scraped past his left arm, while the sixth punch of Thousand Mountains Fist followed the turn of his body and blasted out with full force.

His fist carried a fierce gale as it smashed heavily into the side of the Flying Rhino's horn.

"Crack!"

The strength of a Black Rank first-grade cultivator erupted in full. Though the Flying Rhino's force was tremendous, its charge was knocked askew to the left, and its right side instantly revealed an opening.

Tang Yan's eyes sharpened. He took a fierce step forward, lifted his right foot, and kicked viciously into the Flying Rhino's belly from the right.

"Bang!"

It was a full-force blow from Tang Yan, striking the softer flesh beneath its abdomen. Even with the Flying Rhino's astonishing defenses, its entire body went numb at once, and it could no longer gather any strength.

When your opponent was weakened, you took his life. Without the slightest pause, Tang Yan's attacks fell like rain upon the Flying Rhino's vital points.

Before long, the Flying Rhino spat blood, its head tilted to one side, and it collapsed unconscious.

Seeing that the Flying Rhino had been dealt with, Tang Yan took a dagger from his robes and skillfully dug out the Beast Core.

Just as he was about to speak to Lin Dongxue, he turned around and found her staring at him in complete shock.

"What's wrong? Scared silly? The Flying Rhino's already dealt with!"

Tang Yan stretched out a hand and waved it in front of the dazed Lin Dongxue.

"N-no! You're so fast! Really amazing!" Lin Dongxue came back to herself and said excitedly.

I'm so fast?

Looking at Lin Dongxue's innocent expression, Tang Yan's thoughts suddenly turned wicked.

"I last a long time," Tang Yan immediately corrected her.

What a joke. Though this young master was still a young lad, he had plenty of confidence in himself.

"No, you really are very fast," Lin Dongxue said. She did not have nearly as many crooked thoughts as Tang Yan.

Tang Yan had taken only a quarter of an hour to deal with a Third-Rank Spirit Beast. Lin Dongxue only felt that words were too pale; she could not even find a proper way to describe what she felt.

The two of them were thinking in completely different directions. Naturally, Lin Dongxue could not understand the wicked thoughts in Tang Yan's heart.

"In the future, you can say I'm amazing, but you can't say I'm very fast," Tang Yan instructed her solemnly.

"Why?" Lin Dongxue asked curiously.

"Uh, just remember it. All right, rest for a bit. We'll continue on our way afterward." Tang Yan hurriedly changed the subject.

Lin Dongxue still wanted to ask more, but Tang Yan's heart suddenly tightened. A sense of danger rose within him, and he quickly warned, "Someone's here."

As an Alchemist, Tang Yan's perception of the outside world was exceptionally keen.

When a killing intent aimed directly at him rushed over, even though the other party had hidden his aura extremely well, he still could not escape Tang Yan's senses.

Tang Yan turned his head at once and saw a masked man in black walking toward them.

After Tang Yan's warning, Lin Dongxue also turned around and looked at the approaching man in black.

Tang Yan did not dare be careless. In that instant, his knees bent slightly, power gathering in them as he prepared to fight at any moment.

The man in black before him brought him tremendous pressure.

"You go first!" Tang Yan shouted in a low voice.

"You go first!" Lin Dongxue, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, threw the words right back.

Tang Yan nearly had his nose twisted crooked from anger. Why was this girl choosing a time like this to be stubborn?

"Go? No one's going anywhere. Both of you can stay here!"

The man in black let out a sinister chuckle. His voice was dry and hoarse.

"May I ask who Your Excellency is? What grudge do we have?" Tang Yan asked, puzzled.

"No grudge, no enmity. This old man simply wants to kill!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, his figure shot toward Tang Yan like a falling star, one palm chopping straight down.

Black Rank-at least fifth grade!

Tang Yan's pupils shrank, and every hair on his body stood on end. He brought Phantom Step to its limit and retreated swiftly to the rear at an angle.

Before absolute strength, Tang Yan knew that even if he had grasped the Combat Heart, he still could not take this head-on.

"I am Lin Dongxue, daughter of Lin Xiao, the City Lord of Yun City. If my father cannot find me, you will have no end of trouble in the future. Why not leave now? I can pretend today's matter never happened," Lin Dongxue said from the side.

The man in black had not expected Tang Yan to evade his fierce strike, and surprise flickered through his eyes.

Then he heard Lin Dongxue's veiled threat and gave a cold laugh. "Cangyun Mountain may lack many things, but it does not lack wild beasts. Once you die, it won't be long before not even your bones are left. Who would know whether you lived or died?

"Besides, who would know I was the one who did it?

"The little girl looks quite good. Before you die, this old man will make sure you enjoy yourself properly!"

The man in black laughed shrilly and reached swiftly toward Lin Dongxue.

"Move!"

Tang Yan did not hesitate. He immediately rushed toward the man in black.

Seeing Tang Yan charge over, a trace of hatred flashed through the black-clothed man's eyes. He no longer paid attention to Lin Dongxue and swung his palm toward Tang Yan once more.

Tang Yan narrowed his eyes.

This man in black was brimming with killing intent toward him, yet the moves he used were only basic techniques. It seemed he did not want Tang Yan to see through his background.

Even so, the might of a Black Rank fifth-grade cultivator was still not something Tang Yan could contend against.

Feeling that suffocating pressure bearing down on him, a mad thought suddenly flashed through Tang Yan's mind.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Time was too short. Tang Yan only had time to unleash the fourth punch of Thousand Mountains Fist.

Sensing the force contained in Tang Yan's fist, surprise flickered in the black-clothed man's eyes.

A mere Black Rank first-grade cultivator could actually strike with the might of the second grade!

But even if you are a Peerless genius, Tingxiang will have no more tales of you!

A flicker of savage pleasure crossed his eyes, and both of the black-clothed man's palms blasted toward Tang Yan.

Tang Yan's Vortex Dantian spun rapidly, and spiritual Qi surged toward his fist.

"Whoosh!"

A deep-blue flame suddenly appeared.

Tang Yan's fist was shrouded in a strange blue light.

The black-clothed man's forward rush halted at once. His gaze fixed warily on the blue flame.

What was this thing the brat had released?

He clearly possessed the strength of a Black Rank fifth-grade cultivator, yet from that deep-blue flame, he actually felt a dense threat.

Not daring to meet its edge, the man in black flashed to the side.

But close-quarters combat was Tang Yan's greatest strength. Seeing that the man in black feared his Heaven and Earth Creation Flame, Tang Yan was inwardly delighted. His body moved deftly, closing in on the man in black as he threw a fierce punch at him.

"Dongxue, go!"

Tang Yan shouted in a low voice. At this moment, he could only use the Heaven and Earth Creation Flame to buy Lin Dongxue time to escape.

Seeing that Tang Yan actually dared to attack him first, anger flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. He swung a palm fiercely toward Tang Yan.

A trace of anticipation and madness flashed through Tang Yan's eyes.

In this moment of crisis, he had actually thought of merging the Heaven and Earth Creation Flame into his technique.

He was also eager to know just what kind of power Thousand Mountains Fist could erupt with once strengthened by the Heaven and Earth Creation Flame.

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided violently.
