Chapter 242: Tang San vs. The Terrifying Knight Scott, Tang San is Beaten Brutally!
Outside the City of Slaughter.
On the vast grasslands, both sides were surrounded by eerie, bizarre trees that had no green leaves and looked dry, though still growing.
Under the dim purple moonlight.
In front of a hundred-man knight squad in formation, a tall knight in black armor riding a mighty horse spoke to Tang San in a cold and deep voice.
"You have broken the rules!"
Seeing the knight squad in front of him, especially the tall knight at the forefront holding a knight's lance, Tang San's pupils immediately contracted, and his heart tightened.
Because he recognized the identity of the knight in front of him — wasn't this the terrifying knight Scott from the previous live stream about the City of Slaughter?
This guy had indeed been defeated by him in the live stream.
But in the live stream, he was already a Soul King, with an excellent configuration of soul rings — yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, not the usual yellow, yellow, purple, black, black!
Besides that, in the live stream, he also had two soul bones.
It seemed he had also activated the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline left by his mother, and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolved into Blue Silver Grass with a powerful ability called Blue Silver Domain.
In the live stream, his combat strength was definitely over two or three times greater than what he was now!
So although he had been able to easily defeat this terrifying knight Scott in the live stream, Tang San felt completely uncertain about facing him now.
But he also knew he had no choice.
He didn't know what rules he had broken, and his father Tang Hao hadn't had time to explain, or perhaps it wasn't necessary given his current situation.
However, according to the live stream, he had to defeat this terrifying knight Scott in order to enter the City of Slaughter!
"You must have watched the previous live stream, so you must know the consequences of breaking the rules to enter our City of Slaughter. Defeat me, and you will be allowed to enter the City of Slaughter!"
The terrifying knight Scott still pointed his lance at Tang San and coldly said as he waved his other hand, signaling the knight squad to step aside.
Then, the terrifying knight Scott urged his warhorse with a sudden squeeze to the horse's belly, and in an instant, he became a black lightning bolt charging forward.
During the charge, Scott extended his lance forward and, with a cold shout, launched an attack on Tang San, the sound of the lance cutting through the air echoing as he prepared to stab.
Seeing the charge coming at him, Tang San immediately pushed his teacher Yu Xiao Gang aside and gritted his teeth, muttering in a low voice.
"Teacher, hide. I'll handle this!"
Although he wasn't confident he could win, Tang San knew that Yu Xiao Gang was completely useless in direct combat, so he didn't expect his teacher to be of any help.
Earlier, when they escaped to the City of Slaughter, although it seemed different from the live stream, Tang San dared not reveal both his Blue Silver Grass and the Haotian Hammer martial souls at the same time during this battle. He only planned to use his Haotian Hammer martial soul.
Thus, when the terrifying knight Scott charged at him, Tang San immediately used his Ghost Shadow Mystery and quickly dodged. He leapt into the air and summoned his Haotian Hammer martial soul, striking directly at Scott.
However, in response to Tang San's attack, Scott revealed a cold sneer beneath his helmet, sweeping his lance in a sudden motion, creating an afterimage that struck Tang San, sending him flying with a violent blow.
"Tang San!!"
Seeing Tang San being struck and sent flying by Scott's lance, Yu Xiao Gang was frantic, but dared not call out, fearing it would draw attention and worsen the situation.
So he still couldn't defeat him?
After being sent flying, Tang San did a flip in the air, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and landed heavily on the ground, his heart sinking.
Compared to the Tang San in the live stream, he was still too weak now. Both his cultivation and physical strength were likely far inferior to his live stream self.
But despite this, he couldn't give up.
For his survival and for the vengeance of his father Tang Hao, he had to successfully enter the City of Slaughter.
"Ah!!"
With an angry roar, Tang San raised his Haotian Hammer again and, using the Ghost Shadow Mystery, charged toward the terrifying knight Scott.
This time, Tang San had learned his lesson. He didn't foolishly think he could defeat Scott with a single hammer strike and get the chance to enter the City of Slaughter. Instead, each time he attacked, he left some leeway and used his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes, keeping his eyes wide open in fury, prepared to use the Capture of the Crane and the Dragon's Claw to block Scott's lance for a moment to better evade his attacks.
But even so, in the face of the overwhelming difference in strength, Tang San was repeatedly struck by Scott's lance, flying back with blood spattering, slamming into trees and spitting out blood.
Although Tang San's strength now far exceeded that of the live stream's version of himself at the same age, having reached the Soul Sovereign level before the age of ten and possessing physical qualities comparable to those of top Soul Emperor beast martial soul users due to the Qi Blood Pill, he was still no match for the terrifying knight Scott.
Scott, being a boss-level fighter in the City of Slaughter, was a formidable Soul Emperor, not weak at all!
Thus, despite having the unique skills of the Tang Sect and Haotian Sect, Tang San was still being violently beaten, bloodied and wounded by Scott.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiao Gang watched in helpless despair.
Tang San had also tried using hidden weapons in the battle with Scott.
But his strongest weapon, the Zhuge Crossbow, had no effect on Scott, who was armored head to toe.
If Tang San had learned the Haotian Hammer's final technique, the Exploding Ring, maybe he'd have a chance at defeating Scott.
But after just two years with his father Tang Hao, it was impossible for Tang San to comprehend the ultimate secret of the Haotian Hammer in such a short time.
After all, in the original story, Tang San didn't show extraordinary comprehension abilities. His talent mostly came from his reincarnated mind and the cheats from the Tang Sect's skills.
But that cheat was still a little weak!
At least trying to master the Exploding Ring in two years was unrealistic.
In the midst of being continuously beaten by the terrifying knight Scott, even though Tang San used his Haotian Hammer martial soul to block Scott's lance each time, the overwhelming force still shook him to the core, making his internal organs feel displaced.
After being knocked into a tree once more, sitting on the ground and vomiting blood, Tang San clutched his aching chest, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
It seemed like he couldn't avenge his father Tang Hao after all?
However, just as the terrifying knight Scott was about to deliver the final blow to Tang San, a purple figure holding a gorgeous scepter slowly walked out from the passage.
