Armipotent

"How is it? Do you trust me now?" Tang Shaoyang asked The Black Dragon who fell silent ever since Radiance's show. Then it was followed by Frost Domain. Just as Avyn said, she killed them all in one strike. All the knights, including their leaders, froze in ice.

"But I forgot to ask them not to make a big commotion," He muttered and turned toward Radiance, who he thought still had two knights to kill. However, Radiance was surfing on the snow, manipulating the snow as he made an acrobatic move. The Frostbringer really did have fun.

Not long after, a bell rang from the city direction, "Alright, guys. The fun is over. It's time to go back. That's a good show."

"No, let me stay with you," Avyn did not want to go back, and it was the same with Radiance, "I also don't want to go back. Let me have fun a little longer, Master."

Tang Shaoyang wanted to avoid an intricate encounter with the Orin Kingdom. That was why he wanted to recall the spirits. However, since they requested to remain, he did not recall them back.

Less than a minute later, the sound of the steel gate opening could be heard from a distance. The creaking metal was so loud. It sounded like an old and unused gate for sure. The Orin Kingdom was barely used and did not get proper maintenance. 

The city sent a hundred of their people, The Frost Tigra beastmen and The Jade Eagle, fifty each. The Frost Tigra moved on the land swiftly while The Jade Eagle kept the air safe for them. It did not take long for them to arrive at the location of the commotion.

The Jade Eagle flew circled in the air, in guard while a few scouted the area. The Frost Tigra formed separated into five groups, ten beastmen per group. It was their fighting style to fight in the smaller group. The frozen knights shocked them, and they recognized those knights. The knights of Clown Troupe and Phoebus Legion.

The beastmen stayed wary and ready to attack anytime even though they looked like they had a common enemy. One of the Frost Tigra stepped up from the group, "Who are you? And how do you get here?"

After giving a quick scan on the three, the Frost Tigra had her eyes locked on Avyn. She identified Avyn as the strongest among the three. So she naturally thought of Avyn as the leader of the group.

"We are visitors from another world, and we come through teleportation," Tang Shaoyang answered honestly to avoid misunderstanding. At least that was what he thought by being honest.

"Do you take me as a fool?" The Frost Tigra thought Tang Shaoyang was playing around. There was no concept of other-worlders. At least, she had not heard one yet.

"Why would I? You ask, and I answer honestly. My name is Tang Shaoyang, The Emperor of the Tang Empire. Tell that name to Frost, and he will recognize me," Things didn't go as he thought they would. He dropped his name and also Frost, which would solve the problem. At least, that was what he thought.

The Frost Tigra sneered, "And what? Then you will assassinate our king and destroy our kingdom?" She raised her right hand in the air, "Surrender or we will use for to subdue you!"

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I changed my mind. You are indeed a fool," That just made the Frost Tigra angrier, "I don't mean to insult, but that's just a fact. You fail to assess your situation, and the price for that is that you will lose all your subordinates if I am your enemy."

"We killed more than five hundred knights with just us three. Do you think you can capture us? I can understand why the Orin Kingdom gets pushed back and keeps losing the fight against God's followers. You have poor judgment, but have more foolish bravery and useless pride,"

That was a genuine evaluation from the short encounter. The Frost Tigra was similar to Kairu when they met for the first time.

The Frost Tigra could see the frozen corpses in the ice. If she could make a good judgment, then she should know that she could not win if they fought. The good judgment would be trying to have a conversation to delay the fight while calling for reinforcement. It was not like they were being threatened. Instead, they tried to capture the three people who killed more than five hundred knights.

 Of course, Tang Shaoyang could pretend to be captured and follow them to the city. However, he reminded himself that he was an Emperor. He had to act like one, his kneeling on the ground would bring down The Empire's dignity. He had to resolve the problem like an Emperor, the boss's way.

"It seems you still don't understand your situation," Tang Shaoyang could see that The Frost Tigra remained unconvinced even though she seemed to realize the situation was more dire than she thought. Just like he said earlier, she had the useless pride of the beastmen warrior. They had to fight even though she knew she would lose the fight.

"I want to fight them, but these people need a beating," He pointed his finger upward, "You two take care of those birds. I will fight them myself. Don't kill them, but you can beat them hard enough so they will not forget what they will experience today."

"I guess I have to show my progress to you as well, Rumru." He muttered.

 Tang Shaoyang was serious when he said these warriors needed a beating. He used Wrath of Slayer, boosting his attributes, and crossing to the God Rank's attributes since he had maxed out his Demi-God Rank's attributes. He was not going easy even though the strongest was Legend Rank.

The Nine Heavenly Gate, Sixth Gate: The Heavenly Beast, Heavenly White Tiger

An image of a majestic white tiger formed behind him, letting out a deafening roar. That caught them off guard, stunned by the appearance of the white tiger.

Tang Shaoyang took this seriously and used this chance to take the initiative. He used Blink and appeared right in front of the leader. There was no chance for The Frost Tigra to block or dodge as the fist hit her chest.

The white tiger beastmen flew backward, crashing into the bodies of the frozen knights and trees.

"General!" Dozens of the white tiger beastmen tried to help their leader and showed their back to Tang Shaoyang.

His speed was not something such as Legend Rank could react with. He appeared behind two white tigers, grasped their head from behind, and slammed them to the ice.

Bang!

The ice cracked and the ground shook a little bit. He did not stop there as he pounced on another warrior. His palm moved smoothly as he copied his own palm technique but did not actually use the actual palm technique as that might kill them. It looked like a gentle motion, but the moment the palm hit the warrior. The palm sent the white tiger beastmen flying.

After taking down four warriors, only the others stopped to check on their leader. They changed their target to Tang Shaoyang. The five closest warriors pounced toward him from five different directions.

Tang Shaoyang used Dragon Scale and Chaos Shade. He intended to receive their attack with his body while he caught the hand of the two warriors in front of him. He pulled them toward him, and then he sent fists to their faces. Another two warriors flew over while the other three managed to land their hit. However, their Frost Fist could not even touch the Dragon Scale because they were stopped by Chaos Shade.

He turned around and caught three of them by hand before slamming them to the ground. The three warriors piled up on top of each other, and he followed with a fist to the back. The bone-cracking sound could be heard, but the fist did not really kill them.

Looking at how easily Tang Shaoyang took down five of their comrades, more beastmen warriors came for him. That was right, they kept coming even though they knew they could not win. The foolish bravery of the beastmen.

Through the Spirit Eyes, no one tried to go back to the city and ask for more reinforcement. They thought of fighting him by themselves.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. The beating was quite hard, and it might affect them mentally afterward. However, they did really need a good beating, so they could think of another way to approach such a conflict. Retreating from a battle did not make them a coward. It was wise to retreat instead of fighting the enemy they could not win against.

It took Tang Shaoyang a little over one minute to take down all fifty white tiger warriors. All of them lying on the ground with injuries, groaning in pain. None of them died from the fight, and the leader of The Frost Tigra limped her way back to the battlefield after Tang Shaoyang sent her flying.

She was shocked to see all her subordinates were on the ground while the man was standing. The man was standing where she stood before, and he did not move from that spot to take down fifty warriors.
