Chapter 120: The King of Hell’s Fury
Tang Xingsheng was a proud man! For someone like him, losing in strategy to another was something he couldn't tolerate, and he naturally had to recover from this loss!
Thus, Tang Xingsheng vowed to defeat Chu Yang amidst the greatest humiliation, at the moment when he thought he had everything figured out, and to kill him with his own hands!
For a wise man, this would be the deepest blow from the physical to the spiritual level!
Tang Xingsheng harbored a bone-deep hatred for Chu Yang! Over a decade of effort, and as soon as Chu Yang arrived, it all turned to nothing!
However, Chu Yang just happened to exploit his hatred and his unwillingness to bow down; leveraging his own mindset, he calmly set up a trap that left Tang Xingsheng with no way to turn back!
When he didn't expect to engage in a battle of wits with Chu Yang, Chu Yang had already made the first move, dragging him out with his cunning calculations. When he wanted to match wits, the other side used brute force. By the time he intended to fight back, he was already unable to move...
Despicable? Yes, despicable! But this level of calculation made Tang Xingsheng have to admit defeat. He had to acknowledge that from the moment he intentionally allowed Chu Yang to recognize him, he had been led by the nose! It should have been him taking the initiative, yet somehow all the initiative ended up in Chu Yang's hands!
Until the end, Tang Xingsheng questioned himself: If I were in his position, could I achieve all this? Could I defeat and capture a ninth grade martial sovereign with my warrior cultivation level? Moreover, without relying on anyone else's power...
The answer was: I could not!
He was not defeated in battle; he was outsmarted! To be outmaneuvered to death with his own wisdom... What else could he say?
So Tang Xingsheng let out a long sigh and gave up all efforts! In fact, he didn’t even curse Chu Yang once, simply closing his eyes and abandoning his resistance.
What Tang Xingsheng didn't realize was that his desire for revenge and his arrogance led him to leave his residence before the news from Diwu Qingrou arrived. This resulted in Diwu Qingrou's letter falling into Chu Yang's hands.
Perhaps this was the biggest mistake he made...
Chu Yang watched as Tang Xingsheng's rage turned into calmness, his heart suddenly tightening.
At this point of despair, Tang Xingsheng could still maintain inner stability and instantly quell his anger; he was indeed a remarkable figure!
No wonder Diwu Qingrou had such high hopes for him!
“Take this old man away! Lock him up in the Butian Pavilion with the heaviest shackles.” The order was given by Cheng Ziang, as Chu Yang, lost in thought, slipped out of the circle and silently disappeared into the crowd. By the time the black-clad assassins scattered a few feet away surrounded him, all they saw was a mysterious figure...
Besides Cheng Ziang, no one knew that the young man was the Chu King of Hell...
Cheng Ziang looked at Chu Yang's back, revealing admiration in his eyes. The Chu Imperial Seat was indeed the Chu Imperial Seat! With a casual conversation, he had made a strong enemy powerless! Unfazed, he captured the enemy leader! With a warrior's cultivation level, achieving such a result—who else could compare?
At the same time, Cheng Ziang felt a chill run down his spine, covered in cold sweat. At this moment, he realized the intense fear that gripped him.
A ninth grade martial sovereign! This so-called delicate scholar, Tang Xingsheng, was actually a ninth grade martial sovereign! He was indeed a super expert!
Goodness; he was only a third grade blade sovereign! As for Chen Yutong, she was merely a first grade martial sovereign! If they were to truly fight against Tang Xingsheng... it was likely that no one present today would survive!
And Tang Xingsheng would still be able to leave freely! A ninth grade martial sovereign? If he truly wanted to leave, there were probably very few people in Iron Cloud City who could stop him. Moreover, Tang Xingsheng was an extremely cunning individual!
