Chapter 281: Tang Chongye

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside Archean City, the earth trembled and rolled as if in an earthquake.

The source of this earthquake was the battle between Lu Ming and Tang Chongye.

‘No…’

This was no longer considered a battle.

It was more like being held down, just a one-sided crushing and brought to an end…

“Ground techniques.”

“The ultimate weapon in close combat.”

“A fully formed ground technique that is almost impossible to break. The bound individual only has two options: either admit defeat or faint and die on the spot.”

Esek’s Zombie Beast Poison entered Tang Chongye’s body through the wound torn open by Lu Ming.

Although the damage was not significant, using the power of the golden pattern to wear down the power of the golden pattern did rapidly cause Tang Chongye’s golden pattern power to collapse.

The effect of this was that the Demon Gold Body began to show signs of softening.

As for the softened Demon Gold Body, it had to withstand the even more terrifying damage brought by Lu Ming!

This was the cycle of death!

It was not until Tang Chongye’s golden body disintegrated, leaving only a breath of life, that Lu Ming spoke.

After he finished speaking, Lu Ming added, “The reason why I said you have no skills at all is because you didn’t adjust your combat logic according to my physical characteristics at all.”

While traversing the Saber Web, Lu Ming had already displayed his body transformation ability.

Such a body was extremely suitable for using ground techniques!

Of course, Lu Ming’s ground technique was definitely different from normal ground technique, but the essence was actually the same—they both used entanglement and restraint as a means of attack.

In situations where physical strength was not significantly different, once entangled by Lu Ming’s ground technique, it was equivalent to losing the ability to fight back completely.

Therefore, for Tang Chongye, the best choice was to keep a distance and avoid close combat with Lu Ming. Speaking of which, even if he did not realize that Lu Ming had a ground technique, common sense should dictate that using a long saber against fists wouldn’t work very well, right?

At his feet, after hearing Lu Ming’s words, Tang Chongye was silent for a moment before smiling bitterly.

“I’m just too dependent on my Demon Gold Body…”

With the Demon Gold Body as his foundation, Tang Chongye was always invincible in close combat.

But today, he encountered a monster like Lu Ming.

“Forget it, no use in saying more, let’s end it.”

Lu Ming muttered and increased his strangulation force.

With Lu Ming’s increase in strength, Tang Chongye’s already crumbling golden patterns collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.

With the temporary loss of his golden patterns power, Tang Chongye also lost his Demon Gold Body.

Then, something wrapped around by Lu Ming instantly burst into a mist of blood.

But, there was a faint sound that emerged from the blood mist.

“Thank you for the lesson you gave me.”

“I promise, it won’t be so simple next time.”

This left Lu Ming momentarily stunned.

Just as he was in a daze, Tang Chongye’s battered body disintegrated directly, turning into ashes and dissipating in an instant.

“This is…”

Lu Ming, who had reassembled his body, gradually returned to his

Self-Limitation state. He pointed at the place where Tang Chongye had disappeared and looked at Esek for an explanation.

Hearing this, Esek said calmly, “It’s a method of resurrection for the Insect Clan.”

Lu Ming immediately frowned, “So the Iron Lump is not dead?”

Esek took a moment before realizing that Lu Ming’s so-called Iron Lump was referring to Tang Chongye.

He immediately shook his head and smiled, “It’s not completely dead. After all, the potential of Golden patterns is greater and is more valued by the clan. In the end, it comes down to different statuses. Silver Patterns can be mass-produced to some extent, but Golden Patterns can’t.”

“So, the major large clans will definitely provide Golden Patterns with means of survival and even revival. But as for Silver Patterns, especially those with little potential, they don’t get that kind of treatment.”

Therefore, Tang Chongye could be revived, but Cockroach Qing could not.

To put it bluntly, it was just a difference in treatment between geniuses and mortals.

Lu Ming immediately frowned.

It bothered Lu Ming that he had not completely eliminated the threat.

Esek stepped forward and patted Lu Ming’s shoulder lightly.

“Although it may seem like letting a tiger return to the mountain, there’s not much you can do about it. Besides, even if you let that Iron Lump escape, he probably won’t have the time to come looking for trouble with you in the short term.”

This made Lu Ming look at Esek, “Are you suggesting…”

Esek smirked, “The war among the three clans is very intense. Trust me, I’m a greater threat to the insects than you.”

“Speaking of which…”

Esek changed the topic and pointed at the two insects running for their lives in the distance.

“Aren’t you going to take revenge?”

In a distant place.

In a certain insect nest.

With a “crack,” a huge, pale golden insect egg in the insect nest suddenly exploded, and Tang Chongye staggered out of it.

He gasped for breath and wiped the sticky substance off his body.

The chaos in his mind gradually dissipated, and very quickly, Tang Chongye recalled everything that had happened before his death.

Demon Gold Body, Flesh Body.

“You really can’t do it!”

“The difference in combat techniques is too great!”

“So, from now on, it’s all my turn!”

Lu Ming’s ferocious face, his twisted figure, and his bizarre but undeniably peak combat skills made Tang Chongye shiver involuntarily.

He stood there in silence for a long time, slowly closing his eyes.

“Too weak… It’s indeed as he said. I’m too weak!”

“So weak that 1 can’t even avenge my two brothers!”

Hatred, the humiliation of defeat, and the weakness of the initial resurrection, all these made Tang Chongye’s body start to tremble uncontrollably.

Until the sounds of footsteps approached from nearby.

Tang Chongye suddenly opened his eyes, and before the person arrived, the voice reached him.

“Ye, you’re back…”

The voice was like the sound of metal colliding, revealing a cold and unyielding demeanor. It was not difficult to tell from the voice that the owner of the voice was undoubtedly a resolute and stubborn person.

After hearing the voice, Tang Chongye’s body trembled uncontrollably.

It was a trembling fear…

This fear was even much stronger than the fear of Lu Ming and death.

Tang Chongye could not help but lower his head until the owner of the voice in the distance slowly walked over and finally came into Tang Chongye’s view.

He had almost the same appearance as Tang Chongye. He was overall human-like, over three meters tall, with strong and sharply defined muscles, and his right hand had transformed into a long, slender saber.

But the difference between him and Tang Chongye was that this man’s body was covered in mystical patterns!

Golden magatama, silver waves, and even blood-red eyes!

Even without deliberately revealing his aura, Tang Chongye could not suppress his trembling just standing in front of this man, as if this person gave him too much pressure.

His lips moved, and after a long time, he uttered, “Father…”

“Mm—”

“You come back from the dead?”

Tang Chongye replied, “…Yes, Father.”

“Trash!”

Tang Chongye’s head hung ever lower, “Yes, Father.”

And his father, Tang Shan, a quasi-divine-level expert of the Insect Clan, did not want to listen to the grudges between Tang Chongye and outsiders. He just looked Tang Chongye up and down before saying,

“Thirty years ago, you advanced to the Ancient Realm with your golden patterns. Then, you left the clan’s territory to hang out with a group of scoundrels.”

“And now, thirty years later, you’ve returned, but your strength has not improved at all…”

At this point, a trace of disappointment flashed in Tang Shan’s eyes, but the disappointment quickly dissipated.

“Forget it. In any case, you’re not my only descendant. You can do whatever you want.”

With that, Tang Shan turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a “thud” sound.

It was Tang Chongye kneeling on the ground, and kowtowing.

While vigorously knocking his forehead against the ground, Tang Chongye trembled as he said, “Father, help me!”

This deepened the disappointment in Tang Shan’s eyes. “Help you? Help you seek revenge?”

“No, Father. 1’11 take care of my own revenge!”

Only then did the disappointment in Tang Shan’s eyes dissipate. He said coldly, “So, what do you want me to help you with?”

“Help me obtain stronger power!”

This conversation finally brought a smile to Tang Shan’s lips.

Looking at his most outstanding son, Tang Shan spoke softly.

“Rest for today. Tomorrow morning, come with me to the Saber Hall..”
