Tang Ming watched as various energies surrounded Ma Longjun, forming an energy storm, yet failing to break through his defenses. A hint of madness flashed in Tang Ming’s eyes.

"Kid, is this your strongest attack? Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes is just so-so."

Standing in the center of the energy storm, Ma Longjun taunted indifferently.

"If I were a Martial General, would you still have the right to say these words?"

Tang Ming sneered coldly and then disappeared from his original position.

"Haha, that’s true. If you were at my level, I might not necessarily... Hmm?"

Ma Longjun was halfway through speaking when he saw a golden point suddenly piercing through the energy storm, coming toward him.

"This kid is operating Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, and can still launch other attacks?"

Ma Longjun was puzzled in his heart and then his face changed dramatically as he stomped his foot fiercely and jumped back.

"Crack."

The sound of breaking glass echoed as the golden point struck the Vigorous Air Armor on Ma Longjun, causing cracks to appear, and then shattering it completely.

Ma Longjun was shocked, never imagining that Tang Ming had a method even more powerful than Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes that could surpass levels to shatter his Vigorous Air Armor.

While airborne, without the defense of the Vigorous Air Armor, Ma Longjun was battered by the various energy attacks from Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, looking quite disheveled. Fortunately, he managed to retreat explosively at the critical moment, jumping out of the range of Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes.

Though he escaped, his clothes and hair were left in tatters by the attacks, making him look extremely disheveled.

Witnessing this, everyone around was stunned; no one expected Tang Ming to almost injure a Martial General. This was too defying! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The people of the Mu Family were even more dumbfounded, never imagining that Tang Ming was so formidable. It seemed that the kid had been withholding his strength all along; otherwise, the Mu Family might have been wiped out by him.

"This kid must die, or he will become a major threat in the future."

Old Master Mu gulped, becoming increasingly fearful of Tang Ming’s formidable strength.

Tang Ming was only nineteen, yet had such power. If allowed to grow, he might surpass Ma Tianyang in the future, and then the Mu Family and Ma Family would certainly face devastating revenge.

The energy dissipated, and Tang Ming stood in the center of the Array Plate with a pale face and a deep disappointment in his eyes. This was his only chance, but it had failed!

Currently, Tang Ming had two cultivation routes in his body. He had just used one route to perform Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, while the other was used to unleash the strongest attack of the Huaxia Secret Technique. Although it shattered Ma Longjun’s Vigorous Air Armor, Ma Longjun managed to dodge the fatal blow at the last moment.

"Haha, is this what you call not fighting back or dodging until I’m exhausted and out of tricks?"

Before Ma Longjun could react, Tang Ming began to taunt him with disdain.

"You... you bastard."

Ma Longjun’s face turned red, unexpectedly made so disheveled by Tang Ming, and in front of so many people.

"I’m no match for you. Do as you please, whether to kill or torture me!"

Tang Ming gently placed Mu Zixin down, looking at her with regret: "I’m sorry, I can’t take you away."

"It’s okay, you are already excellent, truly excellent."

Mu Zixin chuckled sweetly, snuggling into Tang Ming’s arms: "I’m very content to die together."

"Kid, don’t be so mushy. How did you manage to shatter my armor?"

Ma Longjun glared at Tang Ming with an unpleasant expression. Until now, he hadn’t figured out what was going on!

"If you’re going to kill, just do it; no need for so much nonsense."

Tang Ming held Mu Zixin impatiently, having exhausted all his power with the recent attack. Even an ordinary martial master could defeat him now, and besides Ma Longjun, there were so many enemies, he had accepted his fate.

"Alright, since you won’t say, let me fulfill your wish."

Seeing Tang Ming remain arrogant even at death’s door, Ma Longjun’s killing intent surged. Throughout his career, he had never been made so disheveled by anyone before, so he must kill Tang Ming today.

"Tang Ming, kiss me."

Mu Zixin gazed at Tang Ming, entranced.

"Haha, a kiss of life and death."

Tang Ming smiled and kissed gently, the pair wantonly reveling in each other’s company.

"Bastard, I’ll kill you."

Witnessing this, Ma Jie couldn’t stand it anymore.

The Mu Family and Ma Family were also furious.

"I’ll do it, lest he mounts a last stand."

Ma Longjun waved to calm the crowd, raising his hand to deliver a palm strike toward Tang Ming and Mu Zixin from a distance.

A massive energy handprint, carrying a strong gust, swiftly flew toward Tang Ming and Mu Zixin, poised to obliterate them.

"My daughter!"

Mu Tianyang and Madam Mu, restrained by others, cried and struggled frantically, but could only watch helplessly as Mu Zixin faced the energy handprint attack.

Mu Shanhe and others breathed a sigh of relief; the troublemaker of the Mu Family, the daughter who had shamed both the Mu Family and the Ma Family, was finally about to die.

"Ding!"

Just as the energy handprint was about to strike Tang Ming and Mu Zixin, a crisp metallic humming sounded, followed by a silver energy slash descending from the sky.

The silver energy slash just perfectly cleaved through the energy handprint, bypassing Tang Ming and Mu Zixin’s bodies, leaving them untouched.

"Boom!"

The remnants of the energy handprint struck the wall behind the pair, directly collapsing it and raising clouds of dust.

"Hmm? A Martial General?"

Ma Longjun’s face changed slightly, staring intently ahead of Tang Ming and Mu Zixin.

Lo and behold, a stunning woman in Japanese attire, wielding a katana in both hands, crouched between Tang Ming and Mu Zixin, coldly glaring at Ma Longjun.

"Yingzi?"

Tang Ming sensed something amiss, hastily stopping the kiss and looking down, seeing Tianye Yingzi.

"Apologies for my late protection, I beg the master’s pardon."

Tianye Yingzi apologized without looking back. Facing a Martial General, she dared not expose her back to the enemy.

"Why are you here?"

Tang Ming reacted, rejoicing greatly. Tianye Yingzi was a Martial General with considerable strength; now they were truly saved.

"I came to find you."

Tianye Yingzi slowly stood, swiftly pointing the katana at Ma Longjun: "Daring to harm my master, today I’ll slay you all."

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at Tianye Yingzi and Tang Ming.

To casually block Ma Longjun’s attack, at least one must be a Martial General, yet this woman referred to herself as Tang Ming’s servant, it was too unbelievable!

And what’s with this woman’s attire?

Clearly a Japanese woman, how could she be involved with Tang Ming?
