Chapter 464: Chapter 464: How Long to Take Down

"Boom!"

A dull thud resounded as Tang Yue’er’s body, like a kite with its string cut, was directly sent flying over a dozen meters away. She hadn’t yet hit the ground when a mouthful of blood sprayed forth.

This scene left Liu Hanwen and the others completely dumbfounded.

This woman is a King Realm Strong?

So weak?

Old Tang had only used a single palm strike to send Tang Yue’er flying and did not make a move again. Instead, he looked at Tang Yue’er, who was on the ground, with a face full of derision and said, "Just as I expected, you’re not a King Realm Strong at all."

It was not until this moment that Liu Hanwen and the dozen or so Liu Family strongs snapped back to reality. It turned out this woman was not a King Realm Strong.

Tang Yue’er lay on the ground, her complexion deathly pale, feeling a stifling pressure on her chest, unable to utter a single word.

After all, she had broken through to the King Realm with the help of Qin Chuan, but she hadn’t experienced actual combat after her breakthrough. Even before, she had not been involved in any significant battles, let alone fought against a Half-step King Realm strong.

"Elder Tang is mighty!"

Liu Hanwen exclaimed excitedly, then immediately asked, "Elder Tang, could it be that you’ve slapped this woman to death? Why isn’t she reacting?"

Old Tang glanced at Tang Yue’er with contempt and said to Liu Hanwen, "She’s but a struggling ant, barely clinging to life. Even if I hadn’t come today, all of you could have easily captured her."

A glint of cunning shone in Liu Hanwen’s eyes as he suddenly said with excitement, "Who says this woman isn’t a King Realm Strong?"

"Hm?"

Old Tang and the others looked at Liu Hanwen with puzzled expressions.

A look of shrewd intelligence flickered in Liu Hanwen’s eyes as he excitedly proclaimed, "She is recognized as a King Realm Strong by the Nine Gates of Yandu. If she’s not a King Realm Strong, how would it highlight Elder Tang’s strength?"

Hearing his words, Elder Tang suddenly had an epiphany; Liu Hanwen was planning to use Tang Yue’er to create momentum for him.

The Nine Gates of Yandu all knew about a young woman with King Realm Cultivation living at Cloud Summit Heaven Villa. If the news of Elder Tang defeating Tang Yue’er spread, what a sensation would it cause?

Defeating a King Realm Strong with a Half-step King Realm would be sufficient to prove how strong Elder Tang’s combat capabilities were.

Even though others believed Tang Yue’er was a newly ascended King Realm Strong, she was still a fighter with King Realm Cultivation!

After a brief silence, Elder Tang immediately guessed Liu Hanwen’s intentions.

He was almost certain that as long as Liu Hanwen shared this idea with Liu Zhihong, Liu Zhihong would agree.

At that point, the Liu Family would surely support him with all their might, and he would have priority access to all cultivation resources.

Thinking of this, Old Tang felt a surge of ecstasy inside, yet he still feigned a somewhat worried look and said, "I only have the cultivation of a Half-step King Realm, after all. Pretending to be a King Realm Strong for a short while is feasible, but in the long run, I’m bound to be exposed."

Liu Hanwen laughed, "What’s there to worry about? With your current cultivation, Elder Tang, if you can get the full support to train from the Liu Family, within a year, you’ll surely break through to the King Realm!"

Old Tang was inwardly thrilled but still hesitated on the face of it and said, "Is this really alright? If family influence is used to train me, it will cut into the cultivation resources of others..."

He did not continue.

Liu Hanwen sneered, "This is a beneficial endeavor for the Liu Family, who would dare object? Once Elder Tang, you step into the King Realm, who among the Nine Gates of Yandu could compete with the Liu Family?"

He had even forgotten the purpose of his visit, his mind already fantasizing about the glory of having another King Realm Strong in the Liu Family.

After all, he was the heir of the Liu Family. The stronger the Liu Family became, the more he would gain.

Old Tang immediately knelt on one knee, his face brimming with sincerity, and said, "In that case, I thank Lord Liu. Once you take over, I shall be the sharpest sword in your hand!"

"Hahaha..."

Liu Hanwen’s delight was precisely because of Old Tang’s words; he hastily helped Old Tang to his feet, laughing as he said, "Once I inherit the position of Family Head, Elder Tang, you will be the Liu Family’s top general!"

Seeing this, the other martial artists that Liu Hanwen brought with him exchanged looks, then knelt down on one knee, boldly declaring, "From now on, we follow Lord Liu’s lead, through fire and water, without hesitation!"

To not make a stand at this time, would that not be seeking death?

"Haha!"

Liu Hanwen was overjoyed and, laughing, said, "Then I thank all my brothers. From now on, we shall share in riches and honor!"

These men were the elites of the Liu Family. Although he was the heir of the Liu Family, it wasn’t impossible for him to be replaced. However, once he had the support of Old Tang and these elite men of the Liu Family, no one could shake his position as heir.

"Hm?"

Old Tang suddenly furrowed his brow, his gaze shifting towards Tang Yue’er.

Tang Yue’er had already picked herself up from the ground, her face ablaze with rage, her eyes fixed intently on Old Tang as she said, "I’m not even dead yet, and you’re already eager to step over me for a promotion?"

As her voice fell, the aura of a King Realm Strong burst forth from within her.

Old Tang’s eyebrows drew together tightly, even he felt an oppressive aura that left him breathless.

Wasn’t this woman just temporarily elevated to King Realm by relying on elixirs? How is it that she’s now displaying the strength of a King Realm Strong?

Old Tang was puzzled. He hadn’t considered Tang Yue’er to be a true King Realm Strong.

Not just him, Liu Hanwen and the others were also disbelievers.

"Don’t tell me you burst forth with King Realm demeanor by relying on external aids. Even if you truly are a King Realm Strong, today I must kill you!" Old Tang said, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.

After speaking, he waved his hand grandly, issuing an order, "This woman is too weak; she’s not worth my effort. Leave her to you. Take action!"

Upon hearing his words, the dozen or so Energizing Skill Strongs of the Liu Family were ecstatic—Old Tang was clearly gifting them this opportunity for valor!

"Haha, I’ve never tried fighting a King Realm Strong before. Today I shall have a taste!"

"I’ve also never had such an experience, hahaha, kill!"

...

More than a dozen Liu Family strongmen rushed toward Tang Yue’er like predators upon their prey, crazed.

Liu Hanwen too appeared relaxed, seemingly unconcerned about the potential loss.

What he failed to notice was the solemn expression on Old Tang beside him, his eyes glued to Tang Yue’er.

Old Tang was extremely cautious; he was certain that the aura he had felt was not King Realm demeanor artificially enhanced by elixirs, but the authentic burst of a true King Realm Strong.

The reason he let the Liu Family strongmen strike first was to see Tang Yue’er’s true cultivation level.

Liu Hanwen cheerfully asked, "Old Tang, how long do you think it will take to take down that woman?"

Old Tang didn’t speak, simply staring motionless at Tang Yue’er. However, in the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Liu Hanwen hadn’t realized anything was amiss, and seeing that Old Tang wasn’t speaking, he continued to ask, "Elder Tang, do you think that woman is so weak that the fight will end quickly?"

But Old Tang still did not speak.

Only then did Liu Hanwen sense something was wrong. He hastily looked in Tang Yue’er’s direction, freezing on the spot, trembling uncontrollably.
