Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The soldiers and mechas saluted him.
“Good day! senior officer.”
A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were speechless when they saw the gaze of the soldiers with which they looked at Tang Wulin. They were burning with radiant passion.
That was true! Almost every Blood God Army soldier witnessed how Tang Wulin sent back the powers of darkness, saved the entire army and sealed the abyssal plane. The scene of Tang Wulin holding back the abyssal creatures and guarding the abyssal passage alone had been deeply engraved in their hearts. In their hearts, this person was the martial god of this generation! Not everyone understood that Tang Wulin had been relying on planar power back then. Only the high-ranking officials of the Blood God Army were aware of the secrets of the Blood Gods Great Array.
“They’re spies who appeared during the disturbance caused by the abyssal plane. The commander has given the order for them to be put to death. Senior officer Blood One has already gone to the commander’s office to plead for them,” the soldiers explained the situation in simple words.
Tang Wulin looked puzzled. Since when did commander Zhang and senior Blood One become this rash? Regardless of how careful they were towards the evil soul masters, they could not possibly have treated human lives as if hay.
At this moment, Cao Dezhi’s voice sounded in his head. “These are the bodyguards we prepared for you. Tell them that you’re going to plead for them and then come to Old Zhang’s office.”
Tang Wulin was smart. He immediately understood the situation. He hastily said, “senior disciple brother, brother Sima, calm down. I’ll immediately go and ask about all this.”
A Ruheng said with a forlorn expression, “junior disciple brother, be quick! I’m about to freeze to death here!”
“Alright, I’ll go right away,” as Tang Wulin said this, he removed his outer jacket and covered A Ruheng with it.
A Ruheng was instantly touched as his eyes reddened. Sima Jinchi beside him bulged his eyes. He seemed to be asking, ‘What about me? What about me?’
Tang Wulin apologetically smiled at him and said, “I’m sorry I only have one jacket. But I’ll be back real quick. Wait here.” After he finished, he quickly moved in the direction of Zhang Huanyun’s office.
“Haha! We’re saved!” A Ruheng laughed loudly. Their life or death crisis had finally been resolved! He believed that there would not be a problem anymore if Tang Wulin was the one pleading for them.
Sima Jinchi’s expression was one of grief and indignation. ‘How could he?! That guy’s as strong as an ox! I’m not as strong as him. I’m the one who’s colder here! Why didn’t you give the jacket to me instead?!’
A Ruheng glanced at him and triumphantly said, “See this? This is my junior disciple brother’s garment. A military general’s uniform. Have you ever worn one before?”
“You! Son of a Bastard!” Sima Jinchi could no longer bear it and swore at A Ruheng.
However, A Ruheng felt completely free from any inhibitions right now. “I’m an orphan, I don’t have a father. I say this military uniform is quite comfortable. It’s so warm! So is my heart. hahaha!”
Tang Wulin was unaware of A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi bickering immediately after he left. He had just reached Zhang Huanyun’s office.
“Commander, senior Blood One, what’s all this about?” Tang Wulin asked in confusion.
Cao Dezhi faintly smiled and said, “They came during the abyssal disturbance and were captured as spies. Since you’re leaving you should have someone beside you whom you can rely on. These two are wild and intractable beings. With your saving grace, they would be more subtle when they’re under you. You shouldn’t ask too many questions. The point is we’re the bad guys here and now you can go be the good guy. Old Zhang, you’re up.”
Zhang Huanyun chuckled. He stood up and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go with you.” He patted Tang Wulin’s shoulder and walked out of the office.
Tang Wulin could not help but feel at a loss on whether he was supposed to laugh or cry here. However, his heart was warm and fuzzy. How could he not understand that there was no way the commander and senior Blood One, both being generals, would do such a thing if it were not for his sake.
When the bickering Sima Jinchi and A Ruheng saw Zhang Huanyun with three general’s stars on his shoulders, they instantly shut their mouths. They were as silent as cicadas in winter.
Zhang Huanyun’s expression was dark as he coldly eyed them. Even a killing intent seemed to faintly flicker in his eyes.
If Tang Wulin was unaware of this being an act beforehand, he would have believed what he saw. He exclaimed in his heart. ‘Don’t tell me commander Zhang had also spent some time on Demon Island. He could win awards with these acting skills.’
He had fought with A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi before. He naturally knew just how wild and intractable these two could be. However, these two looked as if they did not dare to breathe in front of Zhang Huanyun. They must have been truly terrified of him!
Zhang Huanyun said coldly, “Wulin, is this really your senior disciple brother?”
Tang Wulin hastily nodded. “He is, commander. He cultivates the same method as I do. I won’t mistake him for anyone else. He’s our Body Sect’s senior disciple brother.”
Zhang Huanyun nodded, “Very well then, we’ll temporarily clear him of the suspicion of being a spy. However, trespassing Blood God Army’s barracks is also punishable by death. Seeing that he’s related to you, we can spare his life, but there must be some punishment. Otherwise, it’ll seem like any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come and cross me, a Blood God.”
A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi gulped. ‘Tom, Dick, and Harry. We’re nobodies now?’
The two of them exchanged glances. Their hostility disappeared. They felt as if they shared the same fate.
“Release him.” Zhang Huanyun pointed at A Ruheng.
The soldier immediately went forward and released A Ruheng from the metal pole. Then Zhang Huanyun looked at Sima Jinchi and said to Tang Wulin, “This person has no connections with you, right?”
“Huh?” Tang Wulin was slightly shocked. He truly had no connections with Sima Jinchi. At most, they were like-minded opponents. That was why he was startled by Zhang Huanyun’s question.
“Kill him!” Zhang Huanyun swung down his arm.
The two black mechas raised their soul cannons without hesitation. Amidst the explosion sounds two soul ammunitions shot towards Sima Jinchi.
“Have mercy!”
Tang Wulin and A Ruheng shouted the same words at the same time. The difference was that A Ruheng could not move at the moment, while Tang Wulin quickly moved and defended Sima Jinchi.
“Boom! Boom!” The two soul ammunitions exploded on Tang Wulin’s body and a layer of golden halo naturally rose on his body’s surface.
This layer of golden halo appeared faint. When the two soul ammunitions exploded on Tang Wulin’s body, the glow had shone brighter.
However, this layer of golden halo had easily blocked the two powerful soul ammunitions. Those were the main firearms of the two black mechas!
Even Zhang Huanyun slightly raised his eyebrows. Tang Wulin did not have such ability before this. Even if he wanted to block these two soul ammunitions, he would have had to use his fists.
Dragon Air!
This was a natural ability of the Golden Dragon King that appeared after Tang Wulin’s cultivation base broke through seven rings and he absorbed the eleventh seal’s energy. Dragon Air and Dragon Might were among the most important of Golden Dragon King’s natural abilities.
He was testing out this new ability. The power of its defensive ability had even shocked Tang Wulin himself.
When he unleashed Dragon Air, his Dragon Core shrunk inwardly. It was equivalent to squeezing out the blood essence power out of his body to form a layer of protection around him. Compared to other Golden Dragon King seals, this skill consumed less energy, but its powers were great. Moreover, this Dragon Air was clearly applicable to all of Tang Wulin’s abilities.
Sima Jinchi’s breathing had almost stopped at that moment. What was this situation? He had not even said a thing in his own defense before he was nearly killed. Regardless of how tough his personality was, his back was drenched in cold sweat.
“Tang Wulin although you’ve just accomplished a great deed you can’t keep going against military orders!” Zhang Huanyun stared at Tang Wulin with an icy face. His Limit Douluo’s aura burst forth from his body.
The Dragon Air on Tang Wulin’s body had been clearly impacted as it flickered with golden light.
