Chapter 41 Reverse Sacrifice
"Then wouldn't I be free?"
Xiao Yan was overjoyed by the news, but just as he took a step to leave, he suddenly stopped.
"Hmm, no... we can't leave so easily."
The beggar's sudden departure, abandoning such a precious soul bone, must have had a compelling reason to leave—perhaps an imminent crisis, or a more significant scheme.
But who knows if we'll run into each other again in the future?
What if I end up guarding my own corpse again?
He must have countermeasures!
Right now is undoubtedly the best opportunity to find out what the other party is up to, or to take advantage of their misfortune, both to protect ourselves and to retaliate!
"You think you can just leave peacefully after messing with me?"
Xiao Yan made up his mind.
He turned and ran towards the blacksmith shop down the mountain that the beggar had been watching over, as it was undoubtedly the best clue.
But when he returned to the blacksmith's shop...
The scene before him startled him slightly.
On a dilapidated wooden bed.
Tang San was fast asleep, his brows furrowed and his forehead beaded with sweat.
"The main character is here? That proves something must have happened."
"What time is it? Still sleeping?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, picked up a pebble, and flicked it with his finger.
"Thump."
A crisp knocking sound rang out in the quiet blacksmith shop.
Almost simultaneously, Tang San's tightly closed eyelids trembled violently, and he sat bolt upright in bed, crying out in alarm.
"Xiao Wu! No...don't leave me!"
Tang San was panting heavily, covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were unfocused for a few seconds before he could focus. The dream was too real; Xiao Wu's departing figure seemed to be real.
"No! This isn't a dream!"
Tang San suddenly realized what was happening.
He quickly looked around, but the blacksmith shop was empty. An ominous premonition gripped his heart instantly, and without the slightest hesitation, he jumped out of bed and rushed out of the blacksmith shop.
Mental energy suddenly coalesced.
A light purple halo appeared in his eyes!
Purple Demon Eye, activate!
"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Where are you?!"
He anxiously called out to the Thread of Truth while straining his eyes to scan the surrounding soil for every tiny trace.
Soon, a barely noticeable scratch came into view.
It points directly to the dense forest behind Holy Soul Village.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang San's footsteps suddenly became elusive and unpredictable as he unleashed the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Ghost Shadow Tracking! His figure moved like a wisp of green smoke, speeding towards the dense forest.
"Wait for me! Xiao Wu!"
And at the moment he rushed out the door!
Xiao Yan, who had already taken to the air using the Soul Bone Skill "Flight", was quietly hovering more than ten feet above the ground.
Behind him, large wings woven from blue silver grass leaves fluttered slowly, swirling with blue-gold light.
—Wings of Grass!
Xiao Yan looked down at Tang San, who was anxiously chasing after him with all his might, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Something big has definitely happened..."
With a slight smile, his grass wings fluttered, and his figure glided silently through the air like a feather, hovering behind Tang San as they swept away in the same direction.
"Following the main character is much easier than blindly searching on your own."
But almost at the same time.
Deep in the dense forest, amidst layers upon layers of trees.
Xiao Wu pushed her speed to the limit! She dared not look back, her instincts as a soul beast screaming wildly.
The deadly threat, like a leech, did not diminish as they moved further away from Holy Soul Village; on the contrary, it intensified rapidly!
coming!
he came!
"You...shouldn't have left."
A male voice devoid of emotion suddenly rang out from the forest.
Xiao Wu suddenly froze in her tracks and looked up!
On a horizontal branch of a large tree not far away.
A figure stood there, draped in a tattered black robe.
He held a giant hammer crackling with lightning in his hand, and beneath his feet, rings of spirit rings slowly rose up!
And when the last crimson, blood-red spirit ring appeared.
Xiao Wu's breathing suddenly stopped, and her face turned deathly pale in an instant.
A titled Douluo who has hunted down 100,000-year-old soul beasts!
An undisguised, chilling killing intent!
"I...I..."
Xiao Wu's voice was stuck in her throat, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably from the extreme cold and fear.
At this moment, she regretted it, regretted coming to Notting City, and regretted not escaping immediately when she sensed the danger!
Tang Hao took a step forward.
Xiao Wu's legs gave way, and she staggered and collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were brimming with fear, almost overflowing. She shook her head desperately, and the soil beneath her was damp.
"No! Don't!"
However, no matter what expression she made, Tang Hao did not stop in his tracks, and his eyes remained cold and unwavering.
"What a pity, a 100,000-year soul ring."
His whispered voice had barely faded when...
"don't want--!"
Xiao Wu screamed, but a deafening roar, deeper and more intense than her voice, crashed down on her!
The giant hammer swung down!
"boom--!"
Suddenly, it was as if a muffled thunderclap exploded in the forest.
A deafening roar echoed throughout the dense forest!
At the same moment, Tang San, who hadn't arrived in time, felt a sudden pang in his heart and almost stumbled to the ground. He forced his trembling body to stand up, his eyes bloodshot as he looked in the direction from which the sound came. He gritted his teeth, urged his soul power once more, and ran desperately towards the sound.
And above his head.
Xiao Yan, however, took in the commotion in the distance.
Yes, that was indeed a beggar's attack method.
But... it was for a little girl.
Was it necessary to make such a fuss?
This question had just arisen in my mind.
"Buzz—!!!"
A crimson light, powerful enough to pierce the heavens and earth, suddenly erupted! Following closely behind was a terrifying pressure that almost solidified into a tangible form, and the faint phantom of a giant beast emerging from within the crimson light!
A giant rabbit shadow, entirely pink and white, with eyes that look like they're crying blood!
"Human, I curse you to a horrible death!!!"
The piercing howl of a rabbit, almost tearing at the soul, mixed with the girl's cries, echoed throughout the forest!
"Um?"
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted slightly.
What's going on here?
The grass wings on his back suddenly flapped, increasing his speed once more.
In an instant, it surpassed Tang San, who was running at full speed below, and rushed straight towards the place where the red light burst forth.
The center of the red light.
Tang Hao was jolted back several steps by the sudden sacrificial power. Staring at the crimson pillar of light shooting into the sky and the giant rabbit phantom, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"Soul beast sacrifice? It can actually be used like this?"
He narrowed his cold eyes, feeling the enormous, almost rampaging energy surging towards him!
"Seeing that I have a ninth spirit ring, you think you can burst me apart by sacrificing energy? I really don't know whether to call you stupid or smart."
He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, his soul power surging around him, his icy aura remaining unchanged. "But it's nothing more than a death throes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the giant hammer with all his might!
A deep shout,
"fry!"
One of the spirit rings under his feet shattered instantly, and the power of the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly surged. Lightning crackled across the dark hammer, and with a single swing, he forcefully blasted the surging tide of sacrificial energy in front of him into scattered pieces!
"As long as the energy is completely dispersed, it poses no threat."
Tang Hao's eyes were icy cold, his movements uninterrupted, and he shouted a second time:
"fry!"
Another spirit ring shattered!
The lightning on the Haotian Hammer almost solidified. With his second heavy hammer blow, the originally raging crimson energy was torn apart again with this vertical strike, and nearly half of it was eliminated!
Xiao Wu, who was the source of this sacrificial energy, also fell into true despair.
Once the sacrifice begins, it is irreversible; she couldn't even manage this final act of mutual destruction.
Tears mixed with blood slid down from the corners of his eyes.
Consciousness is rapidly fading, and the body is becoming lighter and lighter.
"Mother……"
"Da Ming, Er Ming, Xiao San..."
"sorry……"
