Chapter 297 - Let\'s Have A Contest
He held Hardy\'s neck and slammed the Templar Knight down, creating a small crater as blood spurted out from his mouth. Tang Shaoyang could see the shock in the Templar Knight\'s eyes, and could not believe what he just experienced.
"How!?" Hardy muttered a single word after getting slammed down. Yes, how!? He could not see the opposite party\'s movement at all. He felt that his neck was suddenly gripped and then his body got slammed down.
\'My [Flash Step] seems to become a lot stronger,\' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.
"I told you because you are too weak!" He grinned as he put his right foot on Hardy\'s chest.
The fourth Templar Knight was easily taken down by one man, shocking the city guards and adventurers who watched the clash from the wall.
They barely saw anything, a figure flashed, then they saw the Templar Knight\'s body slammed down to the ground. They could not see clearly what actually happened. What they could see was that the fourth Templar Knight lost in the clash.
The same for them as well, they did not recognize the bald Tang Shaoyang for a while until one of the adventurers yelled a name.
"It\'s Hell-Level Criminal, Tang!" When the name was brought up, the gasp of surprise could be heard. The name of Tang alarmed the people immediately as there was Tang Shaoyang\'s sketch spread in the city.
"That\'s right, you people regarded me as Hell-Level Criminal with vague sh*t excuse!" Tang Shaoyang yelled to the wall, "Now I am back to crush these people, the Waskin Family! The Luminous Church! This is a battle between them and me! Drop your weapon, and we will not attack you! But if you resist you will be killed!"
As Tang Shaoyang finished his words, rows of beastmen mixed with beasts slowly emerged out from the forest. Before, the beastmen were never involved in the Beast Stampede, but now the people could see rows of them at once.
"Don\'t be afraid you STUPID! You have church on your back, these filthy beasts could never win against the Church!" From below him, Hardy yelled loudly to rally the morale.
"Quite brave, aren\'t you?" Tang Shaoyang grinned as he looked down at the long-haired man, "Unfortunately, your time is up!"
Ferocious crimson energy gathered in Tang Shaoyang\'s hand. The violent energy formed a blade, "Let\'s try how strong this Slayer Energy is, shall we?"
[Harmony Sphere]
The fourth Templar Energy could feel the strong energy from the close range. He realized that his life was in danger and immediately cast his ultimate skill.
"Fool! Your cheap trick can never break my shield! I, Hardy, the Divine Shield of the Harmony Goddes-" the words stopped halfway as the ferocious energy easily penetrated the shield, piercing through Hardy\'s neck.
—Slayer Energy is similar to Mana, but it\'s stronger than mana. You can control it like you control the mana through [Mana Manipulation]!
That was Zaneos conclusion after a few tests about Slayer Energy. It was just unknown whether the energy could be used to cast a spell or not since it was something new even for the thousands of years Dragon.
Tang Shaoyang pulled the blade to the side, ripping the neck, and separating the head from the body. He then extended his hand to the headless body, soon the body disappeared.
————————————
[Contracted Spirit]
Karan the Great Warrior (C-Tier Spirit) - Advancement Requirement: Monster Sacrificial (10.97%)
Zaneos the Demon Swordsman (B-Tier Spirit) - Advancement Requirement: Demon and Undead Sacrificial (0%)
Zowen the Lightning Magus (B+ Tier Spirit) - Advancement Requirement: Humans Sacrificial (53.67%)
Rumru the Black Dragon (SSS Tier Spirit) - Advancement Requirement: Beast Sacrificial (Highest Tier Spirit acquired, a special requirement needed for next advancement)
————————————
Tang Shaoyang checked the progress of his Spirit Advancement. Zowen was halfway for the [Spirit Advancement], much faster despite being a high-tier spirit. It was because he had been using a high-quality sacrificial for her.
"I have killed a lot of my own species…" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice while checking the progress bar. He wanted to know the benefit of [Spirit Advancement].
"We have more people to be sacrificed for you Zowen," Tang Shaoyang licked his lips as he glanced to the wall.
At this moment, Kairu came to the next Tang Shaoyang, "What are you doing? You did not let me fight him, but you killed him. You took my prey, that\'s not the part of the agreement!" The Flaming Lion came to complain.
Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes, "The agreement is I will be taking down the Church and their followers while you and your friends faced the Waskin Family\'s force. He is one of the church followers, so he is my prey."
After saying that, he kicked the bodiless head. The head accelerated through the air and crashed on the wall. The head burst out into blood as the skull burst into pieces.
The city guards and the adventurers were witnessing the horror of the Hell-Level Criminal. The fourth Templar Knight could do nothing in front of such a terrifying figure. In their minds, they had regarded Tang Shaoyang as a criminal regardless ever since he started the terrorizing act.
Now they saw it with their own eyes, fear started to haunt them. Even Templar Knight could not save them at this point.
While everyone was in fear, Carlos Artura led exactly fifty-four people out of the city. For some reason, the adventurers cheered loudly when they saw the group.
Tang Shaoyang scanned the group, using his [Basic Detection]. He could tell why the Guild Master dared to come out.
"They are from the Adventurer Guild, as strong as the man I just killed. They are not the part agreement," he told Kairu who also scanned the group seriously. The brawny beastmen also detected that the group ahead was unusual.
Wen came over which was also followed by Frost and Jacky. The Jade Eagle informed him who they were.
"Another four Diamond Ranked Parties are dispatched from the Capital of Eidenburgh. Their mission is to catch you, dead or alive!"
"Then it makes them my prey, right?" Tang Shaoyang grinned while glancing at Kairu. Sure enough, The Flaming Lion reacted instantly when he claimed the group as his prey, "No! I want to fight them too!"
"Then let\'s have a contest, shall we? The one who has the highest kill count will win and the loser has to obey the winner, one request," Tang Shaoyang offered the lion beastmen.
Kairu\'s eyes brightened when he heard the proposal. Since he lost to Tang Shaoyang before, he had been asking for another battle, but Tang Shaoyang never accepted that. Now, this was his chance! If he won the contest, he could request for a battle once more.
"Let me join too!" Frost surprisingly signed himself to join the contest, "If I win, I want you to marry Ivory Tribe\'s Princess!" The Snow Tiger was more direct with his request.
"I told you before, I am not going to marry your people. Love is not something that can be forced! But you can join the contest anyway. It\'s not like you can win," Tang Shaoyang grinned back at Frost.
After the long talk, Frost and his tribe decided to follow him. But it seemed the oath was not enough assurance for him. Frost proposed to him to marry the Ivory Tribe\'s princess.
Ivory Tribe\'s Princess was not his daughter, but a Snow Tiger with Blizzard Tiger bloodline. Blizzard Tiger was the strongest variant of the Snow Tiger and the Ivory Tribe believed Blizzard Tiger was the only kind that could achieve Godhood. Even though that was just a legend from generation to generation, they believed that. Hence Snow Tiger showed similarity to Blizzard Tiger would be titled Princess if it was a girl and Prince if it was a boy.
"You started this, and as an Emperor, you have to keep your words or you will be looked down on!" Frost did not back down, "You never meet her, how do you know you don\'t love her? She is our princess, the most stunning beauty in our tribe!"
Tang Shaoyang merely rolled his eyes. He might lust for beauty, but he had his own taste for women. There was no way he could overlook the species difference, at least he believed so for now.
"Let\'s save that for later, our guests seem to want to talk," Tang Shaoyang\'s gaze met with Carlos Artura\'s gaze.
