After Li Danteng approached him, Ye Lang simply threw away the alchemy cannon, as if it were an insignificant item.
The crowd, including Li Danteng, was momentarily astounded by Ye Lang's action.
Soon, everyone understood that it was a normal strategy for Ye Lang to discard the alchemy cannon and also realized that Ye Lang had more than one alchemical weapon.
"Careful, bomb!" Ye Lang threw several small cylindrical objects resembling fuses at Li Danteng.
"Bomb!?" Li Danteng immediately dodged. He had heard of alchemical bombs, and based on the power of the previous alchemy cannon, he naturally assumed that these small bombs would be equally dangerous.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Ye Lang, the prodigal spender, did not disappoint. Every alchemical item he used was not simple and was filled with powerful ingredients, creating explosions that were heart-pounding.
Li Danteng was the most affected. He dodged dangerous explosions one after another, but with too many of them, he ended up unable to escape unscathed - in fact, his clothes were in tatters, and it seemed like his body might have also been injured.
Meanwhile, Ye Lang was standing on the side, either lost in thought about what to use next, or simply admiring his handiwork.
"You bastard, I'll kill you!" Li Danteng, feeling ashamed and angry at Ye Lang's gloating, lost his composure and forgot his previous principle of "stopping before it's too late" due to fear of retaliation from the Ye family.
"Oh, since you want to kill me, then I'll just have to kill you!" Ye Lang said flatly and then took out a small cannon, similar in design to the previous alchemy cannon, just much smaller, only the length of a typical rifle.
Huh? This kid actually has more tricks up his sleeve, throwing away the big one and still having a small one!!
However, this smaller weapon seemed more convenient and, though its power might be less, it was still formidable.
But, was the difference just in the power of these weapons?
When Li Danteng tried to deal with it the same way he had before, he was surprised to find that there was no alchemical array on the small cannon. Instead, a dark object jumped out of the black barrel, without any magical energy.
Whatever this thing was, Li Danteng felt it was not simple and decided to dodge, but soon realized he might be too late!
The dark object suddenly unfurled a net, flying towards Li Danteng, growing larger and larger, covering all his escape routes, just like a dragnet...
While Li Danteng had no way to escape, he could unsheathe his sword—to cut through the net!
However, it turned out that Ye Lang’s net was not something that could be so easily cut by Li Danteng's sword. Moreover, it couldn't be changed in any way.
After enclosing Li Danteng, the net continued to tighten, rendering his struggles futile. He could not break free from the net, irrespective of his strength or martial energy.
This was a custom creation by Ye Lang, and even his grandfather would not be able to escape from it. If people knew what material the net was made of, they would surely curse Ye Lang for squandering a precious resource!
It was made from the silk of a special, rare species of spider beast that could block all magical and martial energy. Along with its high toughness, it was truly a formidable weapon. This type of silk was extremely rare, even an empire would have very few, and it seemed like Ye Lang’s net was more extensive than any others. This equipment was something others would never dare to imagine.
The small cannon Ye Lang wielded contained various nets of different sizes and functionalities, but due to its rarity, he had only managed to obtain one at an auction.
He could now proudly say to Ye Lanyu and the others that his regular visits to auction houses were not in vain. These spendthrift activities were not entirely useless!!
Of course, the net was more than simply made of this material. It was also embedded with many other materials and had custom mechanisms to instantaneously expand over a wide area and then constrict once it captured its target, leaving them immobilized.
Once caught in the net, the fate of a person was sealed. However, the prerequisite was getting caught...
"Don't struggle in vain. Do you have any last words? Speak now!" Ye Lang's voice made Li Danteng feel ashamed and infuriated that he had been defeated this way.
He wanted to curse and call Ye Lang despicable for always using these strange things, but when he looked at Ye Lang, he immediately held his tongue - he was afraid that provoking Ye Lang would cost him his life!
Why did Ye Lang give him this feeling? Well, when you see someone pointing such a huge alchemical cannon at you, you would feel the same!
At this moment, Ye Lang had already picked up the alchemy cannon he had thrown aside and was about to aim it at Li Danteng.
"I surrender!" Li Danteng was tactful and immediately raised a white flag!
After all, should he not surrender and let someone turn him into rubble?
But Ye Lang seemed not to hear and continued to adjust the alchemy cannon...
"Ye Lang! He has surrendered, you can stop now!" the First Swordsman hurriedly exclaimed.
"Why should I stop just because he surrendered? He wanted to kill me just now, so now I want to kill him!" Ye Lang said dully, making it seem like he had again short-circuited.
This was what made the First Swordsman anxious. Ye Lang was always regarded as a bit foolish, and even if he were to kill Li Danteng at this moment, others would just think that he had done something stupid and would forgive him for any action. However, it was a blow to Li Danteng, and for his family and friends, it was definitely not a good thing!
