"What did you say? You little trash, you're looking for death! Today, I'm going to kill every single one of you!"
Yang Tian roared in fury, about to strike, when suddenly he cried out and spat out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that Chen Jie's Soul Devouring Talisman was still taking effect within him.
As he became more frenzied, he could no longer suppress it.
"You're still alive after being hit by my Soul Devouring Talisman? How naive!" Chen Jie sneered.
"This scoundrel has been hit by Master Chen's Soul Devouring Talisman and is already severely injured. Let's all attack together and subdue him!"
At this moment, everyone's address for Chen Jie had subtly changed.
"Right! We can't let him have a moment's respite. Strike while the iron is hot, or we'll all suffer a tragic death!"
"Our inaction now is planting the seeds for our future dire fate!"
"I, Master Yi, will make the first move!"
The person who called himself Master Yi tensed his entire body. With a swish, his muscles bulged, tearing his tight-fitting clothes apart, and he punched Yang Tian.
"Diamond Talisman!" Yang Tian roared, suddenly pulling another blood-red rune from his pocket and sticking it onto himself.
*Boom!*
Master Yi's fist struck Yang Tian, landing with a resounding thud as if hitting steel.
Yang Tian, however, was unharmed. He turned to pick up the Heavenly Lightning Talisman from the table.
"Don't let him touch the Heavenly Lightning Talisman! Behold, my Master Zhou's peach wood sword!"
A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe grabbed the peach wood sword from his back and swung it directly at Yang Tian.
"Yang Tian, you underestimate the big shots of Pingcheng too much! Today, even if you're a dragon, you'll have to coil up for me!"
Another person attacked, a martial arts master at that.
Everyone displayed their unique skills, attacking Yang Tian in unison.
"You bunch of weaklings, today I'll let you see how mighty this fierce dragon is!"
Yang Tian was enraged. He abandoned his attempt to get the Heavenly Lightning Talisman and pulled out another yellow paper from his pocket: "Explosive Sun Talisman!"
Instantly, he seemed to have taken a potent elixir. His entire aura surged, and he pushed forward with all his might.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
With a series of loud bangs, the so-called Pingcheng masters were sent flying in all directions like cannonballs.
"Hiss, this scoundrel, is terrifying!"
Everyone fell to the ground, gasping in cold air.
"Hahaha... Now you've angered me! I'm going to kill every last one of you! And after today, I'll also go after everyone connected to you. Your women will become my playthings, and your men will be killed without mercy, kill, kill, kill..."
Yang Tian's long hair was disheveled, and he looked like a madman.
He glared at Chen Jie: "You little brat, I'll start with you, and then I'll deal with this group of useless freaks!"
Everyone's faces changed drastically.
Master Yi said, "Everyone, I'm afraid we can't subdue this scoundrel today. Let's fight him to the death!"
"Yes, fight him to the death!"
Their shouts were echoed by many.
Master Zhou said to Chen Jie, "Master Chen, we old fellows will stall Yang Tian for you. You take the opportunity to escape with the others! You must expose Yang Tian's true face and announce it to the world!"
"Master Chen, don't waste the opportunity we've fought for you!"
Everyone prepared to attack Yang Tian again.
But Chen Jie said disdainfully, "Calling you trash is an insult to trash. You can't even defeat a weakling like Yang Tian. How shameful! Get out of my way!"
"Ah... you..."
Everyone was filled with shame and indignation.
They never expected their good intentions to be so utterly devalued by Chen Jie.
"Woman, get lost!"
Chen Jie kicked out, pushing Tang Ruotong's body away from him.
Tang Ruotong stumbled awkwardly towards Tang Wenwu. If Tang Wenwu hadn't supported her, her delicate body in the short skirt would have rolled several times on the ground.
Damn it, does he really think of me as a hostess, to be played with and then discarded?
Tang Ruotong thought with shame and anger.
Then, she clapped her hands on the armrest and leaped up.
In mid-air, Chen Jie pointed his finger at nothingness: "Still!"
Then Chen Jie descended like a god, landing in front of Yang Tian.
"You've come at the right time! I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
Yang Tian was overjoyed and slapped at Chen Jie's face.
But the next second, he froze.
Where is my hand?
Why can't I control my body?
*Slap!*
Chen Jie slapped him across the face: "Old waste, how dare you disrespect me! I'll slap you so hard your son won't recognize you!"
*Slap, slap, slap...*
Chen Jie's hands didn't stop, continuing to slap him relentlessly.
Yang Tian, who was empowered by the Explosive Sun Talisman and whom everyone had been unable to deal with, was now being slapped by Chen Jie's casual movements, his teeth flying out, blood gushing.
This... damn it, he's truly formidable!
Tang Ruotong's eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Jie.
The others also stared at Chen Jie in shock.
This scene left them speechless.
"Ahhhh... Kid, what did you do to me?"
Being slapped repeatedly by Chen Jie, yet unable to move his body, filled him with unspeakable frustration.
"Old waste, you've hidden so many useless talismans on your body. I'll make you suffer the consequences!"
Chen Jie fumbled around on him and pulled out a handful of talismans.
"You, you touched my talismans, how are you alright?" Yang Tian looked at Chen Jie with a trace of fear finally in his eyes.
Because without his permission, if a stranger touched his talismans, they would automatically activate.
But these talismans in Chen Jie's hands showed no sign of activating.
"A pile of waste paper, and you dare to show off in front of me? Eat this!" Chen Jie pinched his chin and shoved the yellow papers directly into his mouth.
*Boom!*
Over a hundred talismans ignited.
Yang Tian's mouth spat flames like a flamethrower.
"Old man, you're quite creative!"
Chen Jie suddenly reached into Yang Tian's pocket and pulled out a rod-like object.
He immediately shoved it into Yang Tian's mouth, blocking the flames inside his stomach.
"Ahhhhhh..."
Yang Tian let out a piercing scream.
The effect of Chen Jie's Immobilization Technique wore off. Yang Tian ran wildly around the room, his face contorted with pain.
After a short while, his body burned into a pile of ashes.
"He's dead?"
Everyone came back to their senses, staring at the pile of ashes in disbelief.
Master Yang from Ao Island had died at Chen Jie's hands just like that.
And they themselves had been utterly incapable of resisting Yang Tian.
"Chen Jie, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have doubted you. I was blind and foolish, believing Yang Tian instead of you."
Tang Hai, having recovered, breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Chen Jie with a complex expression.
"What? Are you still begging me for treatment now?" Chen Jie glanced at him coldly.
"No, I dare not hope. I know I don't have long to live. Being able to protect my children is already enough for me."
"Dad, you'll be alright!" Tang Ruotong rushed to Tang Hai's side, crying.
"Cough, cough, cough... Wenwu, come here. I need to write a will for you," Tang Hai said with a wry smile.
