NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1253: Old Sun Is Here
"Don't call me stupid, Fifth Prince, you're asking for death!" Kafu exploded in anger; he being a member of the Demon Clan was naturally volatile and bloodthirsty. Provoked like this by the Fifth Prince, he naturally went into a frenzy, and a powerful aura burst forth to pressurize the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince shouted angrily, "Stop arguing, the Human Clan has already run away! Hurry up and chase!"
Kafu paused for a second and looked around, only to find that Tangyu had indeed fled. Only then did he react, "Damn despicable Human Clan, trying to run away? Not so easy! Hurry up and chase!"
"Hmph, truly a dumb pig," the Fifth Prince cursed again.
Kafu shot a furious glance over, and the Sixth Prince immediately tried to mediate, "This is just a minor misunderstanding; the most important thing now is to catch that Human Clan member and not let him escape. Hurry up and chase!"
Both groups then began chasing, with the Fifth Prince intending to exclude Kafu and his allies but failing, so he had no choice but to let them join in. Anyway, let's catch the Human Clan member first.
Tangyu immediately took out the Immortal Boat and escaped as swiftly as possible. The Fifth Prince and his three companions, along with Kafu's five companions, were tightly pursuing him from behind, as they also had Immortal Boats and were using them to closely follow.
"Human Clan, you can't escape!"
"Don't waste your efforts; it's impossible for you to escape."
Inside the Immortal Boat, Tangyu was urging it onward while furrowing his brows slightly. The speed of the Fifth Prince and the Demon Clan was faster by a bit, and the gap between them was closing; they were soon going to catch up. Trying to escape was indeed a difficult task. Moreover, the terrain of Flowing Sand River is extremely complex and full of dangers everywhere, so using the Immortal Boat recklessly was quite dangerous, and freedom of action was severely restricted.
Just like driving a supercar on a country road, no matter how good the car is, it can't go fast without risking major trouble.
"Hmm? Ahead—" Tangyu's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately stopped and put away the Immortal Boat. Before him was a kilometer-long hurricane barrier, standing like a natural trench blocking Tangyu's way. It was the Quicksand Wind Waterfall, a fearsome wind hazard; entering it could easily lead to death.
The Fifth Prince and his three companions, along with Kafu and his five, also stopped, surrounding Tangyu.
"Heh heh, where can you run now? You're out of options!" Kafu pointed his spear at Tangyu, coldly laughing with a playful demeanor.
Tangyu, however, was unafraid and laughed instead, "No road? Why do I need to run? I say, Kafu, you're really easily deceived. You've yet to grasp the main point: why have the Fifth Prince and his companions been trying to avoid you all along to kill me? Don't you want to figure this out? Hehe, let me tell you there's a big secret here which the Fifth Prince doesn't want you to know because— they want all the gains for themselves."
Kafu turned again to look at the Fifth Prince, who coldly said, "Kafu, do you really want to believe his nonsense?"
Kafu replied, "Fifth Prince, then why do you keep hiding things? Is there a secret you don't want me to know? Are you really going to treat me as a fool? It seems there's indeed a big secret here."
"I said there isn't, so there isn't," the Fifth Prince firmly insisted.
At this moment, a group of figures appeared in the distance. Seeing these figures, the Fifth Prince grinned coldly; his backup from the Yao Race had arrived, so he no longer needed to rely on Kafu's group. Quite a few of the Yao Race had come, numbering over a dozen, each possessing the aura of the Ninth Layer of the Zifu Realm; such strong opponents were beyond what Tangyu could handle.
Tangyu's heart sank as the Yao Race's reinforcements finally arrived to push him into a dead-end situation. It seemed this time he really had to fight for his life.
Tangyu looked at Kafu again, chuckling, "Kafu, see, you've been sold out. The Fifth Prince already informed his backup to come. They just needed to delay the time, so how could they possibly tell you the truth? Now with their reinforcements here, they need you even less, and won't even consider you. Since the Fifth Prince won't tell you, I'll let you know. The reason is that I got an Immortal Vein, so the Fifth Prince wants to kill me and keep the Immortal Vein for themselves. Haha, now do you understand?"
The fact that he obtained the Immortal Vein had already been exposed to the Yao Race, so since the secret couldn't be kept, Tangyu had little concern anymore.
"What, an Immortal Vein!" Kafu's group was also greatly shocked; an Immortal Vein?
Immediately, a greedy expression appeared on Kafu's face, and he angrily glared at the Fifth Prince, "How dare you, Fifth Prince, not inform me the Human Clan member is carrying an Immortal Vein? You want all the gains for yourself; not so easy!"
Now that the truth was spilled out, the Fifth Prince no longer needed to be polite to Kafu, saying, "Kafu, why should I tell you? The Immortal Vein originally belonged to my seventh brother but was stolen by this Human Clan member, so naturally, we must take it back. What, Kafu, do you want to compete with us for it now? Heh heh, think carefully about your strength before you say that, to avoid suffering for nothing. This Immortal Vein, I'm determined to get it."
"Heh heh, such arrogance, you think I, Kafu, will stand by and let you claim it? Very well, let's see your ability to take everything for yourself," Kafu raged.
Such a situation was exactly what Tangyu hoped to see; if these two parties ripped each other apart, he could reap the benefits as a third party, serving as a method of self-preservation. In a direct confrontation, Tangyu was obviously no match for them. This kind of divisive strategy, spreading their strength thin, provided a chance for survival.
"Kafu, you're truly insane, completely irrational. We are allies, do you really intend to tear us apart and advantage the Human Clan?" the Fifth Prince angrily shouted.
Kafu sneered coldly: "I'm crazy? You should be saying you're too much. You want to hog everything, but today that's absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, let's just fight today."
The Sixth Prince said with a sullen face: "Fifth Brother, don't bother with them. Since they can't recognize the situation, then let's teach them a lesson. Now we outnumber them and don't care about those five."
The Fifth Prince also gave an order: "Block Kafu and his men, and the others kill this Human Clan person. Everyone be cautious, this Human Clan's strength is very strong, and he possesses an extremely powerful treasure that can directly shatter Zifu; do not be careless."
These Yao Race members are all seasoned strong warriors, many of them are old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, formidable in both strength and experience. With the Fifth Prince's reminder, they naturally understand.
These supporting Yao Race members split into two groups, one to restrain Kafu and his men, and another charged at Tangyu, while the Fifth Prince and three others also attacked Tangyu. This way, the Yao Race besieging Tangyu exceeded more than ten. Although this force is still terrifying, fortunately, Kafu relieved much of Tangyu's pressure. If Kafu and his group joined in, it would truly be a big problem.
"Finish him quickly!" the Fifth Prince commanded again.
Everyone acted without hesitation, putting all their efforts into swiftly killing Tangyu.
"Whether it's life or death, it can only be a fight." Tangyu gritted his teeth and simultaneously unleashed Pangu Nine Axes, Bright Moon Style, and Void Obliteration, pushing himself to the extreme. This time, Tangyu was truly fighting with his life on the line.
Rumble——
Terrifying rays of light rained down and overwhelming forces smashed down, the combined might of more than ten Yao Race experts was indeed formidable. Even with Tangyu's unmatched strength, he was unable to withstand it. The terrible powers bombarded Tangyu, in a storm of devastation nearly tearing his body apart. Luckily, Tangyu's Divine Demon Body Refinement was strong enough, preventing him from being directly ripped apart. He merely spat out a mouthful of blood and was smashed into the ground.
Can't hold on!
Tangyu clenched his teeth, his face dark and cold, realizing that with just a few hits more, he would really be done here.
Dying here, unwilling!
"No, no, no, I absolutely cannot let this happen." Tangyu's eyes were cold, gazing at the Quicksand Wind Waterfall behind him, feeling cornered, he knew he had to charge into the waterfall if necessary. No matter what, dying at these Yao Race hands would be too stifling.
"Kill!!!"
The Fifth Prince commanded again, over ten Yao Race members charged at him once more.
"No choice, I can only take the risk and rush into the Quicksand Wind Waterfall," Tangyu thought to himself, realizing he had truly been pushed to a dead end.
But just at this moment, Tangyu suddenly sensed a familiar aura approaching, catching sight of a familiar figure swiftly coming his way.
At the same time, a thunderous voice echoed through the air: "Here comes old Sun, if you want to kill Tangyu, take a swing at old Sun first!"
Sun Wukong arrived, making a strong entrance, smashing down with a mighty strike. Seeing Sun Wukong arrive, Tangyu's fighting spirit rose again, and he charged up, pushing his strength to the utmost.
With the two joining forces, the situation reversed immediately. Although they barely managed to hold off the Yao Race, they did manage, and even slightly gained the upper hand.
Sun Wukong's strength was evidently much stronger than before, and the collaboration of the two was seamless.
"Hmm? Monkey-head?" The Fifth Prince frowned, looking at Sun Wukong: "You are originally from the Yao Race, why help the Human Clan? Shouldn't you be on our side?"
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth at the Fifth Prince: "Nonsense, who says old Sun is Yao Race."
The Fifth Prince snorted coldly: "What of a helper, just a mere monkey-head, thinking to change the situation, not that easy. Kafu, can you calm down now? Stop bickering, come over and deal with these two first, avoiding prolonged conflict. As for the Immortal Vein on this Human Clan, its allocation isn't decided by us, it's decided above. Killing them for the Immortal Vein is indeed credit."
"You all can share some of the credit too, no problem."
Kafu and his group also paused, Kafu glanced over with a smile: "Fifth Prince, now that's more reasonable. We should gain merit together, you shouldn't hog it all, then there's no problem. Hmph, let's join forces, kill them, and talk later."
