Chapter 990 - The Anomaly of The World (2/2)

The petite female’s face immediately changed, and she replied with contempt, “Hmph, you wanna gang up on us because you got numbers on your side?”

“Yup. We’re gonna use our numbers to bully you. What’s wrong with it, anyway?” Tang Xiu nodded and smilingly replied, “If you’re so upset, why don’t you come over and bite me?”

“You court death!”

A baleful look burst out in the eyes of the female with a childish face and white hair. She took out a flute made of bone from her loose robe in that instant and blew it. As she played the flute, the residual branches and leaves around were instantly blown up by an invisible wind, forming a twisting wind.

Ding, ding, ding…

Suddenly, the sound of a metal string of a zither collided with the sound of walloping armored horse’s feet. Although the flute’s sound was loud, the zither sound was able to suppress it in but a moment. The twisting gale composed of broken leaves and branches instantly broken and scattered.

The female’s pupils shrunk, and her complexion enormously changed. The gale surged out and rolled ahead ceaselessly like a continuous flood at her.

At this moment, everyone present was looking northwest because the zither came from that direction. Tang Xiu’s eyes also sparkled. He had no idea that there was someone else lurking around them, more so that this person was also proficient in music, using its rhythm to help his side to fend off their enemies. It was evident that the other party was a friend.

“Thank you!”

Tang Xiu cupped his fists and spoke in a deep voice toward the northeast.

In that instant, the zither music turned fiercer and more violent. It was like a flash flood of ferocious beasts coming down from a mountain peak with abnormal overbearing momentum. It was acutely sharp and somewhat rushing forward, just like the sound of the friction between boulder and steel. Except for Tang Xiu, the rest felt tremors in their eardrums and their hearts trembled. But the childish-looking woman who became its target bore all the brunt and felt like an earthquake had hit her heart. She shook her head violently and was forced to stop playing her flute.

Puff…

She then felt salty sweetness in her throat before coughing up blood crazily. Her body then trembled and swayed a few times before staggering backward.

Shoo…

While she was unprepared, an immortal sword suddenly emerged behind her out of thin air. The complexion of Death Dhyana Buddhist Master and the other five greatly changed, yet it was too late for them to rescue the female as her head was cut off directly. Tang An’s figure then flickered before she vanished without a trace after her appearance.

Tang Xiu, however, looked at the northwest directly and shouted aloud, “Your distinguished self, why don’t you show up since you’ve come here? Tang Xiu is grateful and appreciates your assistance.”

A note of zither came out as the response.

As the last note dissipated, the world was back to its calm state. Silence descended, yet no one appeared. Tang Xiu quickly released his perception toward the northeast, only to frown afterward since the other party had left quietly. He guessed that the person had not yet gone far away, but the distance was beyond his scope of observation.

“You go!” Tang Xiu looked at Tang Guang and ordered.

Tang Guang slightly nodded in response. His figure flickered and left an afterimage as he instantly flew to the northeast. He appeared beyond ten kilometers away after half a minute. To his frustration, there was no shadow of the other party in the surroundings. It was as if the person’s speed was much faster than his, like the person had already left and was more than tens of kilometers away.

“I failed to find the person, Boss.”

After Tang Guang returned to Tang Xiu’s side, he reported with a bitter smile and shook his head.

Tang Xiu nodded wordlessly. That person didn’t want to appear, nor did he want to force it. In fact, he had a faint idea of who the person was, but he wasn’t 100% certain since he didn’t see the person himself.

Death Dhyana Buddhist Master shot a deep look at Tang Xiu and the rest. Murderous intent was looming in his eyes, yet he also had the intention to drawback. Two out of eight people among his party had kicked the bucket in just a short time, which was already a fearful occurrence to him. It must be noted that every time one of them went out, it was enough for each member to create a storm in the region and inflict severe damage to that area.

“You’re Tang Xiu and a cultivator from China?” asked Death Dhyana Buddhist Master in a deep voice.

“Yeah, I’m indeed called Tang Xiu and am Chinese cultivator,” confirmed Tang Xiu with a smile. “What’s wrong? Do you want to retaliate later so you asked me this question?”

“It’s just natural that I want to know the identity of our enemy,” replied the monk coldly, “Since we’re enemies, you can expect to have us retaliate against you in the future. Tang Xiu, huh? Hmph… I’ll remember your name.”

“You know, if you wanna run, just say so. Yet you’re still using words with me? Do you find it so fucking fun or something?” asked Tang Xiu a smile.
