Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 81 Tang Xiao's Killing Intention

The gate of Haotian Sect.

Tang Xiao was so angry that he lost his mind and swung his broad palm towards the face of the person in front of him.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap was heard.

Tang Xiao came back to his senses and looked at his sister who was covering her cheek. He was suddenly filled with guilt and distress, and quickly apologized:
"Are you okay, Yue, Yuehua, brother, I didn't, I didn't mean it, you..."

"No, big brother, you don't have to apologize." Tang Yuehua endured the pain on her face and said self-reproachfully:
"This is my fault. Ring Explosion is a secret skill of our sect, but I passed the secret of Ring Explosion to an outsider."

"Even if I had my reasons and had to do this to save Xiao San, it is a fact that I stole the ring-blasting training method from you, big brother."

"So, brother, you deserve to hit me."

Hearing this, and looking at his sister's self-blaming expression, Tang Xiao transferred all his anger to Lin Rong.

When Tang Yuehua saw her elder brother like this, she felt mixed emotions.

Originally, she just went back to Haotian Sect to deliver daily necessities to the sect as usual.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, her elder brother Tang Xiao mentioned unintentionally:
"Yuehua, what do you think after seeing the ring explosion? Tell me."

It would be better if she didn't ask. Tang Yuehua could still pretend nothing happened and continue to conceal it.

But when asked this question, Tang Yuehua felt guilty, her speech was unclear and her words were evasive, which made Tang Xiao see the problem at once.

Under Tang Xiao's repeated questioning, Tang Yuehua had no choice but to reveal the truth about the ring explosion.

After Tang Xiao heard the cause, process and result of the whole incident, anger instantly surged in his heart, and the scene of him slapping Tang Yuehua just now appeared in his mind.

The burning pain on her face forced Tang Yuehua to use the power of her domain to soothe the pain.

After a while, Tang Yuehua felt better and asked Tang Xiao:

"Brother, now that you know this, what are you going to do?"

After hearing his sister ask a question, Tang Xiao, who was silent, uttered one word:

"kill!"

Tang Xiao was filled with murderous intent. He looked at his sister and said in a deep voice:
"The secret of the ring explosion is the secret of our sect and must not be mastered by any outsider."

"It doesn't matter if there is a Title Douluo guarding him. If he steals the secret technique of my sect's ring explosion, he must be dead!"

"It's not easy to do it in Tiandou City, but he will go out to hunt spirit rings one day."

"Yuehua, you need to keep an eye on his every move. If he makes any move to leave Tiandou City, notify me immediately."

"At that time, I will announce that I will be in seclusion, and then secretly go down the mountain without telling the elders, and get rid of him myself!"

"So, Yuehua, you don't have to blame yourself too much. As long as he is dead, it's as if this incident never happened."

After hearing this, Tang Yuehua felt much better, but she still asked with some concern:
"Brother, although the housekeeper of the Lin family has just broken through to the Titled Douluo not long ago, he is definitely not your opponent in terms of strength."

"But what if that butler uses the explosive ring to kill you and me, brother?"

Tang Xiao felt warmed when he saw his sister caring about his safety. In order to reassure his sister, he explained:

"Don't worry, not everyone can successfully practice the Ring Explosion."

"To practice the Ring Explosion, one needs to have a very high talent."

"Although I am not as good as my second brother, I am also a genius. If I continue to practice for a dozen years, I will have the hope of breaking through to level ninety-seven of soul power."

"But even a genius like me only has the talent to reach the threshold of practicing the Explosive Ring."

"An old man who was lucky enough to break through to the Titled Douluo level has no chance of successfully practicing the Ring Explosion."

After saying that, Tang Xiao thought about what his sister said and then thought of something else.

"But now that you mention it, it's not safe for me to be alone."

"If that butler fights me desperately, there is still a chance that the boy will escape."

"In this way, I can let old guy Titan work with me. I failed to protect Xiao San, which can be regarded as a way for him to atone for his sins."

"Then I will take care of the Lin family steward, and Titan will be responsible for catching that brat."

"This way, there will be no risk of any mistakes." Tang Xiao said these words with such confidence that Tang Yuehua completely put aside her worries.

The brother and sister chatted for a while longer, and then Tang Yuehua calmed down and left Haotian Sect.

……

Star Forest.

At night, in an open space somewhere.

In the tent, Yu Xiaogang and Flanders were sleeping soundly.

Outside the tent, Dai Mubai sat there keeping watch.

His soul power was only level 30 and he hadn’t obtained the third soul ring yet, so he couldn’t find Shi Nian hiding in the tree at all.

"If that miser Flanders is on guard at night, it will be hard for me to take action."

"That guy's martial spirit is a four-eyed owl, with extremely strong night vision and higher spirit power than mine. With him on guard at night, it's hard to attack without anyone noticing."

"But unfortunately, the person keeping watch is just a quasi-Soul Lord."

The Canmeng martial spirit was activated, weaving an illusion and pulling Dai Mubai, who was on guard, into it and causing him to sink.

Shi Nian originally wanted to weave an illusion of mental torture to make Dai Mubai sink, but before taking action, he remembered Lin Rong's instructions that this action must not let anyone know that he had attacked Yu Xiaogang.

So, taking this into consideration, Shi Nian reluctantly weaved a beautiful dream to make Dai Mubai fall into a deep sleep.

After dealing with the night watchmen, Shi Nian silently used his seventh soul skill "Nightmare" to avoid Flanders in the tent and pulled only Yu Xiaogang into the nightmare.

……

"Xiao Gang, this is the library of the Spirit Hall, which houses almost all the literature on the continent."

Bibi Dong, who was in her teens, had a youthful glow on her face. She held Yu Xiaogang's hand, and her tone was full of encouragement and support.

"With these documents, your theoretical research will surely proceed smoothly."

"Xiao Gang, I am waiting for the day when you become famous throughout the world."

At the same time, Bibi Dong silently added:
"Wait for the day when you muster up the courage to confess your love to me, and then we can be together legitimately, forever, and never separate."

Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the familiar yet hateful face in front of him, not knowing what to say.

This was the most beautiful memory in his life, and he hadn't dreamed of it for a long, long time.

"and many more."

Yu Xiaogang heard Bibi Dong's unspoken inner thoughts, pulled his hand out of Bibi Dong's hand, his face was ferocious and complicated, and he roared:
"No, no, in my memory, Bibi Dong never said this. This is fake, it's fake."

"It was Bibi Dong who deliberately lured me into studying martial arts theory, and then stole my research results and ruthlessly abandoned me in the end."

"This is the fact, this is the truth."

Ripples appeared in the surrounding space and the scene changed.

But before the next scene appeared, Yu Xiaogang was on the verge of sudden death because his mind could not bear it anymore.

"Fuck, what a waste!"

Shi Nian sensed Yu Xiaogang's physical condition, cursed in his heart, and reluctantly canceled the nightmare he had released on Yu Xiaogang, turned around and left.

This was a long-term task, and Shi Nian did not expect to complete it in one go.

But he didn't expect that Yu Xiaogang was not only a waste, but also had terrible physical fitness.

After all, he was a level 29 great soul master, but his physical condition was so poor that even a slight emotional fluctuation almost caused him to die suddenly.

"A useless martial spirit, a useless spirit master. I really don't know how such a person could attract the current pope and that crazy woman from the Horn of Slaughter one after another."

Without the nightmare, Yu Xiaogang woke up directly from his sleep, his whole body drenched in sweat and sticky.

On the side, Flanders, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the noise made by Yu Xiaogang. After getting up and confirming that his old friend was just having a nightmare, he fell asleep again.

After taking a few breaths, Yu Xiaogang lay down again, looking at the top of the tent with a complicated expression, wondering what he was thinking.
