Chapter 14: That Was Your Last Meal

"Why have you stopped walking?"

Su Lang asked, holding his Tang dao.

"The mountains are beautiful and the waters are clear here; it's actually a decent place to be buried!"

Tan Zicheng slowly turned around, his face full of cold sneers and cruelty.

"I think so too."

Su Lang laughed, "Actually, I saw you back when I was buying the Medicinal Pill in the city gate hall."

"You knew I was trouble long ago?"

Tan Zicheng sneered, "Then you still dared to take me out of the city? Do you think you're a match for us? Brothers, come out and slaughter the sheep!"

"Hahahaha!"

"I wonder how fat this sheep is?"

"The guy the boss picked out must have some wealth on him!"

"Keep him alive. This kid has such delicate skin; I want to torture him to death later!"

Four men at the Body Tempering stage rushed out of the forest, surrounding Su Lang tightly along with Tan Zicheng.

"I wasn't sure if you were trouble."

Su Lang's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "But, it's best if you weren't, and if you were, I'm not afraid either."

"Not afraid? Is this a case of a newborn calf not fearing the tiger? You're not afraid of biting your tongue when you talk big."

"Kid, open your eyes and look. We have two Intermediate Body Tempering, and three Elementary Body Tempering; dealing with you is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"You're really talking big. If you're smart, hand over the sword in your hand, and I'll give you a quick end."

The group of bandits looked suspicious, then immediately started sneering continuously.

"Young Master, you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Tan Zicheng slowly drew a bright, gleaming dagger, "Before I kill you, let me thank you for your body tempering pill and that sumptuous lunch!"

"Do you know why I invited you to eat such a sumptuous meal?"

Su Lang's eyes were full of smiles, "If you weren't trouble, it was to reward you. If you were trouble, then that was your last meal!"

"Last meal?"

Tan Zicheng's eyes revealed murderous intent, "What big talk! Get him, keep him alive!"

The remaining four Body Tempering bandits immediately rushed toward Su Lang with ferocious smiles.

"Haha, you really think you've got me?"

Su Lang drew his long blade with a 'swish' and roared, "Breakthrough for me!"

Instantly, a ripple unique to a Body Tempering Breakthrough spread from his body.

Originally, it would have taken Su Lang 4 hours to reach an Advanced Body Tempering Breakthrough, but after taking the Medicinal Pill, it was reduced by more than half, requiring less than 2 hours.

And from eating and leaving the city to walking until now, more than 2 hours had already passed.

Su Lang's sea of cultivation was already overflowing; whether to Breakthrough was just a matter of a single thought!

Of course, an on-the-spot Breakthrough was as simple as eating and drinking for Su Lang, but for Tan Zicheng and the others, it was completely inconceivable.

"Is that a Breakthrough ripple!?"

"Damn it, he's had an Advanced Body Tempering Breakthrough!"

"How is this possible? How could he have a Breakthrough at this time?"

"From start to finish, I didn't see him Cultivate; he was just walking the whole time. How could he have a Breakthrough?"

Tan Zicheng and the others were terrified, their scalps tingling with horror.

Using Intermediate Body Tempering to fight Advanced Body Tempering—if not throwing an egg against a rock, it was certainly overestimating one's own capabilities!

But at this point, the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be fired; the five had already made their Move, and there was no turning back.

The two sides clashed in an instant!

"Die!"

Su Lang slashed horizontally, without any fancy Moves.

"No!"

The two Elementary Body Tempering cultivators saw the bright Tang dao getting closer and closer, their pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of needles.

But Su Lang's speed was simply too fast; they had absolutely no time to dodge.

"Pfft!!"

The blade flashed, separating their heads from their bodies, and blood sprayed wildly.

Su Lang's blade didn't lose momentum, slashing fiercely onto Tan Zicheng's dagger.

"Clang!!"

A metallic ringing echoed through the forest as Tan Zicheng's dagger turned into a thin line and flew into the sky.

"Go to hell!!"

Another Intermediate Body Tempering bandit took this opportunity to fiercely slash his blade toward Su Lang's neck.

"Do you think I only know how to use a sword?"

Su Lang sneered, twisted his body, and with a back whip kick, sent that bandit flying!

The remaining Elementary Body Tempering cultivator rushed up blindly with his eyes closed; Su Lang shifted his body slightly and easily dodged him.

"Run!"

Seeing the situation was bad, Tan Zicheng immediately turned and fled.

"Do you think you can run away?"

Su Lang moved, chasing after him.

The power of the Advanced Body Tempering stage gave him the speed and explosive power of a leopard.

Tan Zicheng was only at Intermediate Body Tempering; how could he outrun Su Lang? In just a few seconds, he was caught by Su Lang, who severed his legs!

"Ah!!"

Tan Zicheng let out an extremely miserable scream as blood sprayed from his severed legs like a water gun.

Su Lang didn't stop, turning back like a swallow in mid-air to crazily hunt down the remaining two bandits.

Those two bandits were even less capable than Tan Zicheng, and were finished off in two strikes.

"Hehe, it's time to deal with you!"

Su Lang walked slowly to Tan Zicheng's side with a smile on his face, his legs completely severed.
