1394 Hemlin

"Who are you?" Parmes's voice was weak. He was dying, there was zero chance for him to escape alive in his condition. His eyes showed regret, regretting that he underestimated his opponent. He thought only Sir Hemlin and Sir Forlan along with the seven Gods from the Temple were above him. He thought only those humans were above him, but he lost to an unknown person.

He regretted his action because he came under Sir Hemlin's order to resolve the issue. Resolving the issue through the talk and ending the ill relationship with this unknown enemy. Sir Hemlin did not order him to kill this person but to negotiate despite the loss they had suffered.

Parmes did not understand the order at first, but now he understood it. But it was too late. There was no way this person would leave him alive. But he wanted to know who the person he fought was before he died. Who was this person who dared to challenge the Adventurer Guild and also The Temple?

"Should I tell you who I am?" Tang Shaoyang looked down at Parmes. He did not mean to mock the dying guy because it was useless even if he told his name. Parmes would not know him even if he told his name.

"I guess I can tell you my name before I kill you. My name is Tang Shaoyang, The Emperor of The Tang Empire!" He squatted and looked at the hole in Parmes' chest. He was surprised that the wound was regenerating, albeit slowly, the flesh was regenerating, and he could see the new heart starting to form, "God Rank is really amazing. You won't die even if your hurt is crushed."

Parmes squinted his eyes at first. Tang Shaoyang and Tang Empire, that was the name he had never heard of before. But how could he not know that name with how strong this Emperor was. But then he heard the last part and his eyes widened in shock.

"W-what do you mean? A-aren't y-y-you also a God Rank?" His chest heaved up and down. The last part implied that Tang Shaoyang was not a God Rank. But how did he lose to a mere Demi-God Rank? That was unbelievable, but there was no reason for this person to lie to a dying person like him.

Tang Shaoyang grinned, but he did not answer the question. Instead, he stepped on Parmes' head, pushing the head to the ground, and looked up at the sky. Another person appeared. They just kept coming to him like this.

A man with shabby clothes and strawhat floated above, a hundred meters in the air. The shadow from the strawhat shadowed his face, making it hard to look at the face clearly.

"You guys keep coming one by one. What about if you bring all your cardinals and your friends, Forlan, and come to me together? That way I can get rid of the annoyance and hunt for those fake Gods in peace," If before he was not sure if Parmes was Hemlin or not, this time he was sure this person was Hemlin.

He could feel the aura as strong as The Divine Dragon, Eol. This one was a real deal compared to Parmes who just reached a Demi-God Rank.

"What do I expect from someone who just reached a God Rank? I told you to end the issue by resolving the misunderstanding. Why did you fight him, Parmes?" Hemlin pushed up his hat and revealed his handsome face, slowly descending. The provocation did not easily get into him, "Fortunately I came right away after your cryptic message."

While Parmes asked the question, he also sent a message to Sir Hemlin. He did not ask for help. It was his dying message, thanking Sir Hemlin for guidance, protection, and so on. As soon as Hemlin received the message, he came right away through teleportation in Waskin City. As soon as he arrived at Waskin City, it was easy for him to find Parmes through the unconcealed aura.

Hemlin showed a dashing smile, "What about if we talk this out, Sir? Those pricks from The Temple are annoying already, so I don't want to make an enemy out of you as well. I will listen to your request, please don't kill my stupid pupil. I told him not to fight you, but he's just too eager because he recently reached God Rank."

"Don't be afraid of him, Sir Hemlin! He is just a Demi-God Rank! Don't worry about me! Kill him!" Parmes yelled. He was determined to exchange his life for Tang Shaoyang's life.

"That's what your pupil said," Tang Shaoyang raised his right foot and applied the Azure Dragon's energy to it. That was enough force to kill Parmes.

But a few inches before his foot could reach the head, Hemlin put his right foot between Tang Shaoyang's foot and Parmes' head, stopping his pupil from getting killed in front of his eyes.

However, as he stopped Tang Shaoyang's foot, a fist arrived in front of his face. The fist was covered in the same Azure Dragon's energy.

Hemlin caught the fist with his right hand, but his right sleeve was shredded from the impact. Not just his clothes, but the skin in his right hand was torn apart. He then ducked and grabbed Parmes' ankle with his left hand. He was about to rescue Parmes from Tang Shaoyang, but he sensed several blades formed right behind him. Not just the blades as a kick was flying toward his face at the same time.

His attempt to rescue Parmes was accurately countered. He had no choice but to let go of Parmes' ankle as his body became wind and disappeared. The Slayer Blade hit empty air and stuck to the ground as the kick also missed.

Hamlin's figure started to form again twenty meters away from Tang Shaoyang. He had a pensive expression, looking at Tang Shaoyang. It was that weird feeling that his movement was read by Tang Shaoyang. The stomp that intended to kill his pupil was a bait to lure him to rescue his pupil. It did not mean to kill Parmes.

He then looked at his messed-up right arm. Most of the skin was gone, revealing the wounded flesh. Of course, The wound was healing, but it was much slower than he thought.
