Tang Rao might have encountered a fake person. Just a mont ago, he was so scared that he dared not say a word, but now seeing Tang Rao's strength rise, with the Taotie Hand coming out, he simply opened up a gambling den not far from Yan Lin and Tang Rao's fight.
"I heard about the Taotie Hand a long ti ago, and I've also heard that the Tang Family Patriarch's Taotie Hand is invincible. I hope it's the sa this ti, so it won't disappoint us."
Tang Rao didn't care about what others said. Facing the puppet whose hatred had been fully evoked, aside from killing Yan Lin, Tang Rao had no other choice.
This second son of Yan Family is truly ruthless. Tang Rao even wonders if he had dug up the Yan Family's ancestral grave, which is why he's been targeted. First using Xiao Yue and then Yan Lin, he must want to kill Tang Rao to be satisfied.
"Tang Rao, you must die, you have to die!"
Yan Lin's scarlet eyes seed to want to gouge out Tang Rao's innards. The black line wrapped around Yan Lin was thicker than when Tang Rao first saw it. The poisonous insect did serious harm. If he ever saw the second son of Yan Family, Tang Rao would have to torture him well without using poisonous insect, or he wouldn't be a true hero!
"They say good n don't live long, evil n linger for a thousand years. Good thing I'm not a good man, you can have that reputation. As compensation, you should leave your life to ."
After speaking, Tang Rao's Taotie Hand smashed towards Yan Lin.
Yan Lin was covered entirely in golden light. The true form of the Ancient Taotie emitted a series of low noises, which seed to have a bewitching effect. Just hearing the low hum, Yan Lin's movents beca uncoordinated.
"Taotie Hand, go!"
A pair of enormous, glowing golden hands smashed towards Yan Lin. Before Yan Lin could react, he was hit by Tang Rao's Taotie Hand and fell into a large pit with the collapsing ground.
All around the pit, the smoke cleared to reveal, besides Yan Lin's intact corpse, heaps of small snakes surrounding it. The snakes were still alive, slowly crawling out from Yan Lin's body. Noticing the anomaly, Tang Rao poured gasoline into the pit before the snakes could scatter and set it ablaze, burning Yan Lin's corpse and all the surrounding snakes to death.
It was as if neither people nor snakes had ever appeared there. In the end, not even a trace of ashes remained.
The onlookers, shaken by Tang Rao's Taotie Hand, hadn't regained their composure, unsure who first reacted. Once they saw Tang Rao burn everything in the pit, they began to cheer, expressing their joy uncontainably. As soon as one person jumped up excitedly, others followed and slowly ca to their senses, joining in the celebration.
After witnessing Yan Lin's thods, they no longer prioritized compensation. If Tang Rao hadn't arrived tily, Yan Lin might have claid all their lives.
With people gone, what does money matter?
"The man is dead, and his space ring is in the pit. Whoever isn't afraid to die can go fetch it. I've done what I promised you. In the future, unless there's solid evidence, refrain from casually framing . Even the person with the best temper can lose patience, and I, Tang Rao, do not like being falsely accused!"
Though Tang Rao's voice wasn't loud, it carried a unique authority.
One glance at Tang Rao's expression told them that their trouble-making had only been forgiven out of courtesy this ti. Repeating such behavior in the future wouldn't be as easily pardoned.
"Tang Family Master, is that monster really dead? Will it not co back to life? Our lives can't bear such scares!"
Having erged from the brink of life and death, their only worry was whether Yan Lin would co back to life to harm them again.
"No, he's completely dead."
He watched Yan Lin die and personally burned his corpse to ashes. If even that couldn't guarantee his death, Tang Rao's reputation could be discarded.
"But you previously ntioned that if there was any Purple Crystal on that monster, it would be compensated to us according to the order agreed. Does that statent still hold now?"
The plump woman had stayed not far from Tang Rao.
She was the first to offer three hundred Purple Crystals for Tang Rao's protection, and he indeed agreed that any Purple Crystal on Yan Lin would be compensated as promised. However, the pit was so deep and the space ring was still at the bottom. Having completed his task, Tang Rao wasn't going down personally to fetch it for them.
Aside from bad luck, Tang Rao wouldn't gain any benefit from obtaining Yan Lin's space ring's contents.
"It still holds. I never said it wouldn't, but the precondition is that whoever retrieves the space ring will be compensated first. What do you think of my proposal?"
As long as it didn't concern him personally, Tang Rao was happy to join in the fun and offer up so lousy advice.
"What, we have to go down and fetch it?"
The plump woman thought she'd misheard and even cleared her ear. Realizing Tang Rao's eyes were on her, she knew it wasn't her hearing but that Tang Rao was indeed suggesting she go fetch the space ring.
"Of course, you can opt out, letting the second person be compensated if the first refuses to descend. Then, you could gain everything in Yan Lin's space ring."
Impossible!
Even though the plump woman hesitated to climb down to retrieve the space ring, she was even more reluctant to let another person take advantage of it because of her whim.
"We'll go fetch it. We have people to do that, what's the fear in fetching sothing from a pit?"
With that, she looked toward her family mbers, who all had their heads down as if pondering so profound question of life, avoiding her gaze.
Cowards, all of them!
Angry at their timidity, she ultimately approached the pit herself.
The corpses had turned to ashes, but fortunately, the space ring remained unscathed. After strenuously retrieving it, the first thing she did was open it to see how many Purple Crystals were left.
She assud that given Yan Lin's prowess and frequent pillaging, the space ring would contain significant loot, enough to compensate her family's losses. With so exaggerated claims, she might even profit.
But reality loved to play tricks on her.
