Chapter 184 The First Sequence? I, Tang San, am the King of Hidden Weapons!
"That's right. Not only will we not be able to kill anyone, but we'll also be killed by that Primordial Immortal King, or beg for help like a stray dog."
"If that happens, the Primordial Immortal Court will truly lose face! Jiang Chen will have to personally step in to redeem them!"
"Hahahaha! It would be truly satisfying to see the first rank of the Primordial Celestial Court being hunted down and running all over the world!"
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the entire divine palace became lively once again.
The gods were all looking forward to Li Changsheng's downfall, eager to see that treacherous villain crushed by absolute power.
This is to prove that their confrontational approach is the right path, and that the Primordial Celestial Court is nothing more than that.
...
The lower realm, Shrek Academy.
Tang San remained slumped on the back mountain, but now his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was gaunt.
The image of Xiao Wu being locked in a cage still torments his nerves like a nightmare.
But as the screen rotated, Tang San looked on with disdain when he saw what Li Changsheng, the first-ranked member of the Primordial Immortal Court, had done.
"This is the first sequence?"
Then, Tang San seemed to have found an outlet for his anger, and sneered:
"I thought he was some extraordinary talent, some upright and dignified genius of the immortal realm."
"Turns out he's nothing more than a petty thief who only knows how to steal chickens, poison, and set traps!"
In Tang San's imagination, those who could be called the first order should be like the ones he had imagined in the Tang Sect in his previous life: dressed in white, elegant and graceful.
Or perhaps they are like the titled Douluo of this world, capable of destroying the world with a mere gesture.
But what about Li Changsheng?
Hiding under the bed?
Poisoning the teapot?
They even planted landmines under the threshold?
"Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!"
Thinking of these despicable methods, Tang San couldn't help but shake his head, his face full of disappointment and frustration.
"This kind of tactic is utterly disgraceful to cultivators!"
"It's utterly beneath our notice!"
However, as he continued to curse, Tang San suddenly felt an even stronger surge of sourness and jealousy.
He stared intently at the array flags, talismans, poisons, and daggers that Li Changsheng had tossed out like trash in the video.
"That formation was crudely set up, yet its power was so immense?"
"And that poison, can it really paralyze even a Celestial King's primordial spirit?"
"But that dagger looks like some kind of deadly weapon!"
"What a waste! What a terrible waste!"
At this moment, Tang San's eyes were almost red with jealousy.
In his opinion, Li Changsheng was not worthy of these things at all!
If these resources were given to Tang San, and if he were to use the techniques of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, the power would definitely increase by more than ten times!
"Hmph, what first-tier status? It's a complete misnomer!"
"If we're talking about hidden weapons and ambushes, or poisoning and scheming..."
Speaking of these methods, Tang San suddenly straightened his back, and that mysterious confidence that came from a Tang Sect disciple returned once more:
"If I, Tang San, dare to claim to be second, who in all the heavens and myriad realms dares to claim to be first?"
"Our Tang Clan's hidden weapons are art!"
"It's a perfect combination of precise machinery and skillful technique!"
"This Li Changsheng is just relying on his family's wealth and abundant resources to haphazardly put things together; there's absolutely no technical skill involved!"
"Those messy formations, if they encounter a true expert, they can see right through them at a glance!"
Tang San felt increasingly indignant the more he thought about it.
He felt that he was far superior to Li Changsheng.
In terms of cunning... no, in terms of strategy, Tang San, having lived two lives, was a master strategist with no miscalculations.
In terms of skill, he was proficient in the Tang Clan's unique techniques. Whether it was the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus or the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, they were all ingenious and divine artifacts.
He doesn't deserve it!
"This position in the first tier should never have been his!"
"If I were to do this first sequence..."
Soon, a scene also appeared in Tang San's mind.
He stood atop the Primordial Celestial Court, wielding a peacock feather, with the Buddha's Wrath Lotus floating behind him. With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed a rain of hidden weapons, riddling the Celestial Kings with holes, and was worshipped by thousands.
Just thinking about that scene made his blood boil.
"and..."
Tang San looked at the array that was still exploding wildly in the scene, and a hint of pleasure flashed in his eyes as he said:
"A hidden weapon is ultimately just a hidden weapon; it's an inanimate object."
"Although the hidden weapons in that world are indeed more powerful, the opponent is a Celestial King!"
"Li Changsheng, Li Changsheng, you are still too naive."
"You think you can kill a Celestial King with these inanimate objects?"
"That's utterly stupid!"
Tang San sneered, as if he could already foresee the ending:
"Wait until those formations are exhausted, wait until the Primordial Immortal King reacts."
"Once a rat like you, who only knows how to hide in the gutter, is discovered, there's only one fate for you: to die without a burial place!"
"And they'll die a horrible death!"
Thinking about this, Tang San inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.
Previously, because Xiao Wu was captured and he couldn't get in, he was filled with hatred for the Primordial Immortal Court. He wished the Primordial Immortal Court would be wiped out and even thought about seeking revenge by joining forces with the Immortal Kings like Yuan Chu and Tai Shi.
But now, seeing the profound foundation displayed by the Primordial Immortal Court and the power of the Primordial Immortal Ancestor, he began to waver again.
Especially after seeing Li Changsheng, who was "unworthy of his position" in the first rank, his opportunistic nature resurfaced.
"The Primordial Celestial Court is indeed strong; that must be acknowledged."
"But Li Changsheng must die!"
"He's dead, so this position is now vacant."
"Since the Primordial Immortal Court values the art of hidden weapons and traps so much, it's practically a sacred place tailor-made for me, Tang San!"
As he spoke, Tang San couldn't help but lick his somewhat dry lips, and the gloom in his eyes vanished as a result.
"As long as Li Changsheng dies, I will have a chance."
"Once I enter the Perfect World, I will demonstrate the unique skills of my Tang Clan and show that my hidden weapon techniques are even more advanced than Li Changsheng's."
"That Jiang Chen will definitely be begging me to be in the first tier!"
"After all, Li Changsheng is just a useless person who relies on resources, while I, Tang San, am the true king of hidden weapons!"
"Die, just die already..."
Tang San stared intently at the scene in the sky, silently cursing in his heart:
"Primordial Immortal King, you mustn't disappoint me! Unleash your power now and kill this useless piece of trash who only knows how to throw things around!"
"Once he dies, my path to godhood and immortality will be completely clear!"
At this moment, Tang San had long forgotten that Xiao Wu was still suffering in the cage; all he could see was the throne of the first tier.
As for love and morality...
In the face of absolute self-interest, everything else seems to become less important.
