Although Ma Hongjun was defeated in a few moves, Tang San wasn't flustered at all. If he used his hidden weapons, he could also defeat him in a few moves.
Even though that person was fast and the fatty couldn't react in time, he had the Purple Demon Eye, which allowed him to clearly see the person's movements.
The advantage is mine! Tang San was full of confidence.
"I apologize to him? Are you kidding me? He was the one who spoke disrespectfully first. Don't tell me you didn't notice that I had already held back."
Meng Huaifeng was amused and angered. He hadn't expected to encounter Tang San and immediately witness his shameless, double-standard face.
How could there be such a big difference between Tang San and the Astral Express Crew, both being part of the protagonist group?
When they injure others, it's well-deserved; when others injure them, it's a crime punishable by death.
"With your strength, you could have easily subdued the fatty, yet you insisted on heavily injuring him. If you stubbornly refuse to apologize, then I can only personally seek justice for him." Purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes, and his hands turned jade-colored, clearly indicating he had activated the Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand.
"Wait, why do I feel like something's off? As they're talking, why do I feel like Huaifeng has become the villain? Didn't they start with us first?" March 7th was stunned by Tang San's actions and couldn't help but say.
"Your feeling is correct. If someone who didn't know the truth only heard these few sentences, they would indeed think Huaifeng was the one relying on power to bully others," Dan Heng affirmed.
"No, how can this be? This person's way of speaking is just... just has a kind of..." March 7th was indignant, wanting to speak but unable to find the right adjective.
"A kind of openly shameless feeling," Dan Heng supplemented.
"Right! Exactly, that's the feeling," March 7th nodded vigorously.
"I've learned! I'll speak like that from now on!" Star clapped her hands.
"Maybe you shouldn't learn that kind of thing?" March 7th quickly advised against it.
Tang San's aggressiveness also angered Meng Huaifeng. My strength is greater than yours, and my backing is even stronger than yours. How can I endure this grievance?
Meng Huaifeng sneered, "You can try if you think you can do it."
"Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, level 32 Control System Battle Soul Master, please advise." Tang San didn't forget his manners; hypocrisy had become a habit.
"Meng Huaifeng, just come." Meng Huaifeng beckoned with his finger. He had no Martial Soul, so he could only choose not to report it.
In Tang San's view, Meng Huaifeng's movements were full of provocation, and he still didn't report his Martial Soul, level, or specialization. Truly arrogant.
You will regret this.
Tremble before the Tang Sect's unique skills!
"Blue Silver Bind!"
He started with the classic Blue Silver Bind, then Tang San's hands waved in a blur, as if he had multiple arms. Countless hidden weapons of various kinds, glinting with dark light, were concealed within the Blue Silver Grass and shot towards Meng Huaifeng.
Meng Huaifeng, despite possessing Imaginary Energy, had no combat skills. He could only fully channel Imaginary Energy to protect himself and, with a calm mind, slash at the incoming hidden weapons with his sword.
Relying on his extraordinary five senses, Meng Huaifeng could clearly see the trajectory of the hidden weapons. However, his technique was truly terrible; even though he saw them, he couldn't block all of them. Many hidden weapons still clanged against Meng Huaifeng's Imaginary shield.
Fortunately, Meng Huaifeng's shield was powerful. The hidden weapons lost momentum and fell to the ground without advancing an inch.
Body-protecting aura?
A sharp glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and several golden rays, as fine as ox hair, shot out from between his fingers.
Most of Tang San's hidden weapons had a dark metallic luster, with a few golden glints mixed in that were particularly noticeable. The moment Meng Huaifeng saw the golden light, a name flashed in his mind.
Dragon Whisker Needles!
Meng Huaifeng immediately dodged to the side. The Blue Silver Grass tore like paper, offering no obstruction whatsoever.
Hmph, you can dodge one or two, but can you dodge thirty or forty?
You've never learned martial arts, and you've barely fought. I've seen right through you!
Tang San revealed a confident smile. He touched his belt with his right hand, and a handful of small golden particles appeared in his hand. Then, he scattered them towards Meng Huaifeng with the technique of "Rain of Petals Across the Sky."
As soon as the golden particles left Tang San's hand, they transformed into golden needles as fine as ox hair, completely enveloping Meng Huaifeng and blocking all his escape routes!
Can't dodge it! Meng Huaifeng immediately realized.
Dragon Whisker Needles are made from natural rutile in tabular crystals. Although metallic, they cannot be attracted by magnets.
They are specifically designed to break through protective auras. After piercing the human body, they curl into a ball, causing intense pain and requiring a special method to remove, making them extremely malicious.
In the original work, Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, couldn't block them and suffered from these hidden weapons.
Although Imaginary Energy and soul power are not the same thing, and Imaginary Energy should be several grades higher in quality, purely from a combat power perspective, Meng Huaifeng at this time should be comparable to Zhao Wuji.
Meng Huaifeng, who had been an ordinary person just half a day ago, had no understanding of Imaginary Energy's defense. The Dragon Whisker Needles were also known to specifically counter protective auras, and they were extremely venomous, even Zhao Wuji couldn't block them.
Meng Huaifeng felt uncertain and panicked, and couldn't help but shout.
"March, help!"
"Leave it to me, young master! I'll give you a blessing!" March 7th playfully pointed at Meng Huaifeng, and a shield enveloped him.
The Dragon Whisker Needles shot at the shield, but the shield remained unmoved and all were bounced away. The soul power attached to the needles dissipated, and they curled back into small balls.
Dragon Whisker Needles are indeed specialized in breaking protective auras, but it also depends on the strength of the aura. March 7th, as an Intermediate Pathstrider, is comparable to a Titled Douluo in this world. The defensive skill she released was not something Tang San, a Soul Elder, could break.
Tang San immediately couldn't maintain his composure. You're having a one-on-one fight, and you call for outside help? No martial ethics!
"You disregard the rules, brazenly interfering in other people's soul duels, you despicable scoundrels," Tang San spat.
Meng Huaifeng was speechless. Don't think I don't know that during your junior Soul Master Academy days, you secretly used hidden weapons to interfere in other people's gambling duels, which allowed Wang Sheng to win. What right do you have to say that?
Double-standard dog!
"You're also attacking from the shadows, shameless and vile!" March 7th retorted.
She couldn't understand how Tang San, who had previously secretly used hidden weapons to help that little fatty, could so shamelessly accuse others of not following rules.
"This is a unique skill of my Tang Sect. My unique skill is like this. I use it openly and honestly, so why do you say I'm attacking from the shadows?" Tang San spoke with conviction and righteous indignation.
When using other weapons, suddenly activating a mechanism to fire hidden weapons is called attacking from the shadows.
But I've always been using hidden weapons. Suddenly firing a hidden weapon I hadn't used before is called a trump card, it's a tactic!
It's not attacking from the shadows at all!
"March, stop wasting words with him. Watch how I teach him a lesson," Meng Huaifeng comforted March 7th, who was furious.
Arguing with Tang San was pointless. He would only drag people down to his moral level and then defeat them with his extensive experience.
With March 7th's shield, Meng Huaifeng no longer worried about Tang San's hidden weapons and charged towards Tang San.
Tang San felt that with his previous words, others should not interfere. It was just an extra shield, not difficult to break.
Tang San began to use high-power hidden weapons, intending to quickly break the shield first, and then use the Dragon Whisker Needles to make this guy suffer greatly.
