Chapter 227 - This Is Magic - Part 2

Deril's attack was unexpected, even Old Man Carlos did not expect Deril would attack at this moment. He wanted to help but it was too late.

Swoosh!

The greatsword slashed horizontally to his back. But Tang Shaoyang managed to react. Lightning surged from his soles, covering his body from top to toe.

Fwoosh!

From the impact, Tang Shaoyang's body flung forward. The Lightning Armor protected his body from being sliced off.

"DERIL! I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE BUT-" Carlos stopped midway as a lightning flash passed him straight toward Deril.

Tang appeared in front of Deril in a flash. He kicked the greatswords away, then he held Deril's neck to the air.

Bam!

Deril's body was slammed down hard to the ground. Right after that, dozens of Lightning Bolts were formed around Tang Shaoyang.

"ARGHHHH!!!" A piercing cry escaped from Deril's mouth. He was raining down by [Lightning Bolt], and could not stop screaming as the scalding pain assaulted all of his body. As for Tang Shaoyang, he was standing on top of Deril, making sure Deril did not move.

"Stop! Stop! That's enough!" Arina who witnessed the scene immediately rushed to the rail and yelled, asking Tang Shaoyang to stop. However, from the situation, the man was not going to stop anytime soon.

She was about to jump off to the rescue, but Murie made his move first. Murie appeared behind Tang Shaoyang who was blinded by rage. With his two daggers in his hand, he stabbed Tang Shaoyang's back.

The daggers were coated in the red aura and pierced the lightning cloak that protected Tang Shaoyang's body. Not only the Lightning Cloak but the armor could stop the daggers and pierced his back.

Murie was surprised, the dagger was intended to stab the heart but his dagger stopped right after one centimeter entered the man's flesh. He furrowed his brows, but then he met with Tang Shaoyang's cold and piercing gaze.

He froze for a moment, the gaze was like a ferocious beast that would swallow him. At this moment, he noticed the lightning bolts coming toward him from the top. He immediately released his grip on the dagger and backed away.

"Watch out!" Murie was about to pull his reserved dagger from his back when Arina's voice entered his ears.

Kaboom!

Thunder descended from the sky and struck him. Murie's vision blacked for a moment as numbness attacked his muscle and burning pain assaulted his skin. It was as if all energy drained from his body, but he knew that he could not stop moving now.

He had to move or he would suffer the same fate as Deril's. Alas, his body just would not want to listen to his horde, he fell with one of his knees.

Tang Shaoyang activated [Lightning Flash], in his hand was a lance made of lightning. He appeared in front of Murie in the next second and kicked the man in the chest. Murie was falling backward facing the sky. He truly did not have the energy to do anything after the thunder struck him.

The sight Tang Shaoyang who was about to stab him with a lightning spear, 'If I die today, I am going to haunt you even if you turn into a ghost, Deril.' After he died, the next one that should have died was Deril for sure.

"STOP!" Guild Master Carlos appeared between Murie and Tang Shaoyang. The old man flicked Tang Shaoyang's wrist causing the lightning spear to fling away from Tang Shaoyang's grip.

"Don't meddle with my problem, Old Man. They tried to kill me, that means they should be ready to get killed as well!" Tang Shaoyang's voice sent a chill to his spine. Even for him who was Sky-Emerald Rank, Carlos was not that confident to take down Tang Shaoyang with ease.

'I have to appease him, can't irritate him more,' the old man was thinking hard how to appease Tang, 'Money, he seems like money very much.'

"I will punish them by myself and also I will compensate you. 2,000 gold, I will compensate you with 2,000 gold and they will get their deserved punishment," Carlos thought the money could appease Tang, but he seemed wrong with his judgment.

"Do you think my life can be bought with money? They want me to die, and I want them to die, don't meddle or…" Tang Shaoyang did not finish his words, but it would be an inevitable battle between the two if the old man insisted on Tang Shaoyang's way.

Carlos could understand the underlying in his words, but he could not let the adventures under his guild die just like that in front of him. On top of that, the lord of the city would be involved if Tang killed the two men.

"2,000 gold and my life on top of that! Can you spare them?" A cooling female voice rang from behind.

Arina and the other White Tiger's party members had climbed up to the platform. They were ready to battle Tang Shaoyang but Arina motioned them to stay still. Cao Yuntai, Liang Suyin, Fan Rui, and Gu Yingjie also came up.

—Don't make a hasty decision and calm down! Don't forget what's your purpose! Skill, Item, and even Classes, investigating them is more important than killing flies like them. You will get exiled from the city if you kill them or even worse.

Zaneos' voice rang inside his head. The Demon Swordsman was trying to calm down his student.

—I am not asking you to spare their lives, but not now. You can kill them later, but for now, just listen to them first. Don't forget to get more compensation from them since breaking the rule of the trial seems to be a big deal for them.

Zaneos' voice and advice truly cooled Tang Shaoyang's fury. He pulled the two daggers from the back and threw them daggers away. At the same time, the lightning cloak also disappeared, and his appearance returned to normal. He canceled the [Advance Spirit Integration]. i????????????????????????. c????????

From behind, Arina could see the bloody cut and stabs on the back. Blood was still flowing out from the wound.

Then the man turned around to meet with her gaze. The chilling gaze caused her to shudder voluntarily, his gaze was so cold and his expression was void of expression.

"Is it you who spoke just now?" The man's toneless voice entered her ears. Arina was quite nervous inside, the man seemed to be more than a high-rank mage. She could tell that by the prowess he had shown just now.

Long glossy blue hair that reached her waist, elegant bright blue eyes, perfectly chiseled jawline, and charming pink lips. From the look-wise, Arina was a top-notch beauty.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes lowered to her chest. Even though she wore a white loose robe, she could not hide her bulging asset. She said that she was putting her life as compensation.

A grin formed on his lips, "I don't know who you are to these two fools, but I am willing to listen to your interesting offer in exchange for these two' lives!" Tang Shaoyang then turned around to meet with Carlos's gaze, "And let's talk about the compensation after you clean the mess,"

After saying that, Tang Shaoyang walked toward Cao Yuntai to get his battle-ax. Putting the battle-ax on his shoulder, he walked toward the exit.

"Let me heal your wounds!" Arina called out but she was being ignored by Tang Shaoyang as he kept walking toward the exit.
