Chapter 1176: Chapter 1176: Entering the Top 10, Securing a Spot

Just as Tang Jingshan struck out a palm towards Lin Chen, the attacks of Mu Tianshan and Su Liuyun simultaneously assaulted Tang Jingshan from behind.

If hit by these attacks, even if Tang Jingshan didn’t die, he would surely lose a layer of skin.

Seeing the situation, he no longer dared to continue attacking Lin Chen, and hurriedly turned around to gather his strength, launching an attack towards Mu Tianshan and Su Liuyun.

Boom——

A powerful force erupted in mid-air where the three clashed, a terrifying oppressive aura creating countless ripples in this space, even causing the space to seemingly distort.

The Mu Family members saw this and immediately joined the battle against the elders of the Tang Family.

Onlookers around quickly fled far away from the site. If the powerful force affected them, they’d surely suffer a painful price, possibly even serious injuries.

Boom——

Although Tang Jingshan was powerful, he was ultimately alone, facing two opponents, neither of whom was weaker than him, so at this moment, Tang Jingshan simply couldn’t withstand their joint attack.

He was sent flying into the distance by the explosive force of the two, crashing to the ground, creating an extremely long trench.

"Retreat!"

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Tang Jingshan lightly shouted and swiftly led the Tang Family elders away.

The truth is, the reason Tang Jingshan was so weak in the hands of Mu Tianshan and Su Liuyun at this moment was largely that the divine soul brand he left on the Soul Shatter Cone had been erased by Lin Chen. Moreover, his son Tang Tianpeng’s death was a massive blow to him, causing his anger to lead to internal injuries.

Tang Jingshan at his peak could not have withstood the joint attack of the two, let alone now.

Under the joint attack, his body was immediately seriously injured, and it would be difficult to recover in a short time.

Shortly after, Tang Jingshan returned to the Tang Family Mansion and went into seclusion to heal, to avoid any future repercussions.

In the chamber, as he thought back, he realized Lin Chen had deliberately provoked him to make him attack first, thus giving Mu Tianshan and Su Liuyun the opportunity to retaliate.

But Lin Chen’s approach was excessively risky. What if Tang Jingshan, despite the risk of being seriously wounded by the two, insisted on landing a palm on Lin Chen, wouldn’t Lin Chen be in mortal danger?

Because of Lin Chen’s madness, Tang Jingshan felt this young man was extremely dangerous.

Such a ruthless and calculating mind, if not eliminated, would become a grave threat.

Seeing that he was now seriously injured, and not only had his son Tang Tianpeng died in the Secret Realm during this joint trial, but many of the Tang Family’s heavenly prides had also perished, it was an immense blow to the Tang Family.

In a few years, there might be a significant gap between the other three families and the Tang Family. At that time, the Tang Family would inevitably fall behind and be removed from the Four Great Families.

Thinking of the situation that the Tang Family would face in a few years, Tang Jingshan felt as if a boulder was pressing on his heart.

"Pfft——"

As he thought about it, Tang Jingshan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He quickly composed himself, not daring to let his thoughts run wild, otherwise, the Tang Family might not fall, but he could succumb to inner demons first.

...

After Tang Jingshan left, everyone slowly boarded the Flying Boat, returning to Tian Que City and arriving at the Mu Family.

This trial was hosted by the Mu Family, so the results were naturally announced there.

Later, the Mu Family Elder asked Lin Chen and others to present the corpses of the water bandits they had slain, using the number of bandits and cultivation to calculate their rankings.

In the end, the Mu Family Elder announced the results.

Lin Chen and Mu Qinghe were tied for first, Yang Minghui was second, Su Yun was third.

The most unexpected was Yu Weilian, who placed fourth, Su Xiao fifth, with two Mu Family disciples taking sixth and seventh, one Yang Family disciple eighth, and finally, Su Dongyu surprisingly ninth.

Since there were two first-place winners, the rankings were capped at ten, so there was no tenth place.

Actually, Lin Chen’s score could have been better, but he did not present Heng Sanjin’s body.

After all, the situation at that time was complicated, and Heng Sanjin was not killed by Lin Chen alone.

Su Dongyu’s position was largely thanks to the Black Bottle given by Ye Wuyan.

Initially, by using the poison within the Black Bottle, he could directly eliminate the water bandits, even causing their bodies to corrode. But after multiple attempts, he gradually mastered controlling the poison to kill without corroding the corpses.

Thus, he acquired quite a few water bandit bodies, earning him his current respectable ranking.

Moreover, Yu Weilian’s achievement was beyond everyone’s expectations.

After all, apart from her beauty, Yu Weilian seemed to have no particular traits; her cultivation and talent were not outstanding.

This immediately sparked much discussion among the Yang Family.

The spot Yu Weilian took belonged to the Yang Family. At the time, Yang Minghui ignored everyone’s objections and insisted on bringing Yu Weilian in.

Now, it also helped Yu Weilian achieve such a good ranking.

The comments from the Yang Family Elders grew more harsh, claiming Yu Weilian was a seductive trouble and had influenced their Young Master, stating they couldn’t allow her to remain with Yang Minghui.

Upon hearing the elders’ words, Yang Chengguang felt a surge of anger.

After all, others thought his daughter was dubious, but only he knew she was disguising herself as a male, so how could she be enticed by Yu Weilian?

"Minghui, what exactly is going on here?"

Though Yang Chengguang didn’t agree with the elders, he was somewhat puzzled by the situation.

"Father, this has nothing to do with me. During this trial, many of the water bandits we encountered weren’t ordinary characters. I was barely able to protect myself, let alone kill so many bandits and give her the bodies."

Yang Minghui raised her eyebrows slightly and said flatly.

Hearing this, Yang Chengguang furrowed his brows. His daughter certainly wouldn’t concoct lies to deceive him.

"Then where did she get these bodies of the water bandits from? Could she have hidden her strength, or is there someone powerful assisting her?"
