Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

Under the baptism of lightning, a small amount of lightning entered his body and raged from within, causing Tang Hao's body to stiffen noticeably for a moment.

But the next moment, another arrow came flying in, hitting him squarely in the chest.

"Boom!"

The towering flames instantly engulfed Tang Hao, and a short while later, a figure burst out of the smoke and dust.

"Damn it!" Tang Hao's face was ashen. His robe had been burned by the flames, and even some of his hair was charred. There were also burn marks on his chest.

That series of combinations just now caught him off guard.

Although he wasn't seriously injured, he looked extremely disheveled.

"Hmph, since there's no way we can survive anyway, otherwise I would have definitely let you taste the power of my Clear Sky Hammer!"

Tang Hao snorted coldly, but did not linger and left quickly.

Even after Tang Hao left, Lin Chuan's face still showed anger.

Although the spirit had undergone a refinement, greatly increasing the power of the spirit skills, it was still too much of a stretch to deal with a Title Douluo. However, it did leave some scars on Tang Hao.

"This is just interest; we'll settle the rest later!"

Lin Chuan spat, sensing that the two terrifying auras were getting closer and closer.

"Dammit, let him get away!"

The Azure Bull Python growled, a hint of human-like malice appearing in its lantern-like eyes.

"Roar!" The Titan Ape suddenly roared, looking at Lin Chuan and the others, then turning to look at the Azure Bull Python, its eyes full of questions.

"Another human here to hunt souls, let's kill them!"

The Azure Bull Python's eyes were icy cold, and its words were filled with intense killing intent.

"Lin Chuan, Qin Shan, run!"

Leng Man took the lead, and the spirit rings behind her lit up.

However, the Titan Ape slapped her so hard that she was sent flying and crashed into the ground, leaving a deep crater.

"Damn it, is this the end?"

Sensing that terrifying aura, Qin Shan's face showed a look of despair.

"Human, how dare you!"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the Azure Bull Python suddenly roared, and a blue light surged from its body, turning the surrounding world into a blue world.

Qin Shan felt her body instantly slow down, at least by more than 30 percent.

At the same time, the Titan Ape suddenly turned around and threw a punch.

"stop!"

At the critical moment, the enormous fist stopped, but the powerful force of the punch continued forward, creating endless air waves that scattered the leaves in disarray.

"That's it!"

Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, one hand tightly gripping Xiao Wu's neck from behind, the Night Shadow blade pressed against Xiao Wu's chin, its sharp edge even piercing the girl's skin, blood flowing down the blade.

Chapter 51 Killing with sister in arms

"Despicable humans!"

Two streams of air shot out from the nostrils of the Azure Bull Python, producing a thunderous buzzing sound that made people's ears ring.

Feeling the terrifying pressure, Lin Chuan's heart pounded wildly, as if it would burst out of his chest at any moment. He subconsciously tightened his muscles, as if this would bring him a sense of security.

"Well……"

A muffled groan suddenly came from in front of her, clearly because the movement had been too large, causing Nightshade to shift slightly and making Xiaowu feel a deep stinging pain.

"Human, let go of Xiao Wu!"

Upon seeing this, the Azure Bull Python quickly withdrew its powerful aura and spoke in human language once more.

"Sorry, that's the only thing I can't do. I don't want to die at your hands," Lin Chuan said, snapping back to reality and pulling Night Shadow back a little, but he remained wary.

After all, they were facing two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and not just any ordinary bloodline soul beasts. If they were even slightly careless, they would probably be turned into mincemeat in the next moment.

"Long time no see, Xiao Wu. I never expected to see you like this when we meet again."

Lin Chuan lowered his head slightly and spoke in a deep voice.

The girl in his arms did not look ordinary. Her silky black hair was combed into a neat scorpion braid, which even reached past her calves. Because they were so close, they could even smell a faint fragrance.

She wore a pink top that tightly covered her developing figure. She wasn't exactly voluptuous, but her height of over 1.7 meters and her slender waist made her look quite well-proportioned.

That adorable girl from back then has now blossomed into such a graceful young woman.

"You are... Xiaochuan?!"

Xiao Wu, who was initially a little nervous because she was being held hostage, immediately recognized Lin Chuan after hearing that familiar tone, and her face was full of surprise.

"It's me, long time no see."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "It has been a long time since we last met, but the first thing you did was grab me by the neck and point a knife at me. I can hardly accept this kind of greeting."

It's been so long since I've seen her. The once straightforward little girl has learned to be sarcastic and unsettling.

Lin Chuan simply smiled, but did not feel embarrassed.

"There was no other way. We originally came to the Star Dou Forest to hunt souls, but these two big guys came up and tried to kill us without saying a word. In order to protect ourselves, we had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

The two chatted like old friends, but the scene seemed incredibly strange.

"Human, let go of Sister Xiaowu!"

The Azure Bull Python grew impatient and warned again.

"I can let her go. I originally had no intention of being your enemy, but I was forced to do this because I suffered an undeserved disaster. As long as you let us leave, I will absolutely not harm a single hair on her head!"

The conversation was interrupted, and Lin Chuan took the initiative to state his conditions.

"If you release Sister Xiaowu, I can let you leave!"

The Azure Bull Python agreed almost without hesitation.

However, Lin Chuan shook his head, "I don't believe you. If you release her now, the lives of the four of us will be in your hands. Absolutely not!"

"What do you want?"

The Azure Bull Python stared at Lin Chuan with its enormous round eyes, annoyed but still patient.

"You take the Titan Giant Ape and leave. Once we leave the Star Dou Great Forest, we will naturally release Xiao Wu."

"Impossible! Human, you're going too far! Do you really think we're so easy to fool?" The Azure Bull Python refused outright, its entire body radiating a fierce killing intent.

Humans are all treacherous and cunning; how could we possibly let them take Xiao Wu away?

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

Lin Chuan was not intimidated, and the two remained frozen in place.

Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke up, "Alright, Daming, Xiao Chuan is my friend. I believe he won't do anything to me. Let me see them off!"

"But Sister Xiaowu..."

The Azure Bull Python seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Xiao Wu's serious look, it could only nod. "Okay, but my second brother and I must stay by your side, otherwise I will never agree."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was not surprised and turned her head to look at Lin Chuan behind her.

"Xiao Chuan, what do you mean? I can assure you that Da Ming and Er Ming will not harm you and will ensure your safe departure from the Star Dou Great Forest."

Because they were so close, when Xiao Wu turned her head, the two were already inches apart, and when their eyes met, they could see each other in their eyes.

Lin Chuan did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.

The scene fell silent.

After a while.

“I believe you, but I don’t believe these two big guys. However, instead of continuing this stalemate, why don’t we each take a step back? The Titan Ape can come along, but Xiao Wu, you can’t leave my side until we leave. Is that alright?”

Lin Chuan ultimately chose to compromise.

It's unrealistic to expect the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape to leave with just a few words; they certainly won't allow him to take Xiao Wu away.

Therefore, this may be the optimal solution.

"You're really cautious!"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but complain, but she still looked at the Azure Bull Python and said, "Da Ming, you should go back first. I'll come back with Er Ming later."

"All right!"

Even though the Azure Bull Python was unwilling, it had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Before leaving, it still gave the Titan Ape some instructions, "Second brother, protect Xiao Wu's safety. If anything happens, remember to shout, and I'll come right away."

After saying that, she glanced at Lin Chuan without leaving a trace.
