Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's youthful innocence, I tricked her into becoming my wife

A dark red light enveloped Tang San, holding him back from the attack.

The light came and went extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, Tang San seemed to be dragged into the ground and disappeared.

Only two severed legs and spreading bloodstains remained on the ground.

Hu Liena gripped the gun handle tightly, scanning her surroundings warily.

"What was that just now?"

“I don’t know,” Ye Hua shook his head, “but it’s like the aura of the King of Slaughter.”

"The King of Slaughter? Why would he save Tang San?" Hu Liena frowned deeply. "Does Tang San have a connection with him?"

Ye Hua chuckled inwardly. It was more than just friendship; he was someone's great-grandson.

That old madman Tang Chen was ambushed by the Rakshasa God and parasitized by the Nine-Headed Blood Bat!

Now that he has killed part of the Nine-Headed Blood Bat's soul, Tang Chen should also awaken!

But that didn't matter; he was already thoroughly tormented by the nine-headed blood bats and the power of the Asura God.

Even if Tang San makes false accusations, Tang Chen can't do anything about it!

"Perhaps Tang San has something that interests him?" Ye Hua shrugged.

Hu Liena was skeptical, so she withdrew her Three-Eyed Ice and Fire Gun, only to see the Wind King's corpse.

"By the way, didn't you realize a while ago that the Wind King had a problem?"

Ye Hua walked over and squatted down.

"It's not exactly early, but I just felt something was off about this guy."

He reached out and lifted the collar of the Wind King's robe.

stab-

The fabric ripped, revealing the red, swollen, and hard chest muscles underneath.

Dark red blood was still seeping from the grotesque gash in the very center.

The edges of the skin were rolled up, as if something was being squeezed out from inside.

Hu Liena gasped and instinctively stepped back!

This is so disturbing!

"What...what is this?"

“Parasite traces,” Ye Hua loosened his collar, “remember the skeleton we fought before?”

Hu Liena nodded. "I've already lost my shoes, and you still want me to wear yours?"

Ye Hua, with his hand on the Wind King's chest, said, "At that time, I was careful. When the three kings were captured and the Wind King cried for help, I splashed water on his upper body."

"The Wind King protecting his chest is an instinctive way of protecting the parasite."

Hu Liena's eye twitched; she had been so focused on shaking off the bat that she hadn't noticed the details.

"So you knew he had problems all along, and you still deliberately followed him?"

“Hmm,” Ye Hua shrugged, “Otherwise what? King of Killing Wind, how are we supposed to find our final destination?”

"The terrain of the grotto is complicated, and none of us know if there are any forks in the road."

"Since the Wind King's threat proved ineffective, we might as well turn the tables and use him to lead the way!"

Hu Liena opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. After a long while, she managed to stammer out, "Only you would dare to do something like this!"

Anyone else, knowing there was a controlled time bomb nearby, would have already struck first!

But Ye Hua insisted on saving the bomb until it was no longer useful before dismantling it!

"Isn't this saving effort?" Ye Hua said innocently, "But this time it can be considered breaking the curse."

"Three of the seven kings survived, which is much better than the complete annihilation of the previous army!"

Hu Liena quickly looked up at the sky and saw that the three kings of water, fire, and earth, who were hanging upside down, were either frozen into ice sculptures or killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

But then she noticed that the bats in the air had stopped targeting them.

Instead, they turned into headless flies, frantically scurrying about!

"Oh no!" Hu Liena had a bad feeling.

thunderous roar—

The grotto looks like it's being gripped and squeezed by a giant hand!

The ice wall shattered, revealing the rock face.

Large chunks of ice and rock were falling down!

Above their heads, stalactites broke one after another!

"Run!" Hu Liena reacted extremely quickly.

He grabbed Ye Hua's arm and slammed it onto his back!

At the same time, the external soul bone unleashed its attack, swatting away the falling ice shards!

Ye Hua was caught off guard when she carried him on her back.

"Wait, I can make the snow—"

"Shut up! If you can't fight, don't spout nonsense!"

Hu Liena didn't wait for him to finish speaking before she pushed off with her feet and sprinted towards the exit.

Ye Hua smiled helplessly.

He is unable to fight, but Xue Di can.

However, since Hu Liena was willing to carry him, he was happy to hug her from behind.

Yes, I absolutely have no desire for the fragrance of young girls or the bosom of their breasts!

Ice shards and gravel pelted against the protective shield that Huliena had erected.

The swarm of bats went berserk, swooping down overhead and scattering in a frenzy.

Hu Liena ran extremely fast, her fox tail swaying behind her to maintain her balance.

Every now and then, he would scoop up the falling rocks, cleanly and efficiently, without any hesitation or fuss.

Ye Hua adjusted the position of his hands.

Hu Liena's ears turned red. "Where are you touching!"

"This way I can hold you tighter." Ye Hua rested his chin on Hu Liena's shoulder.

Hu Liena had no choice but to run even faster!

The collapse of the grotto was more violent than expected.

The entire passage was sinking, with layers of rock peeling away.

Hu Liena, relying on the agility she had honed in the killing city, managed to weave her way through the falling rocks and avoid being buried.

When the last rock wall collapsed into ruins, she finally rushed out of the cave and even rushed directly out of the jungle!

"Phew... Phew... Finally..."

Although the forest behind her was still fraught with danger, and there were still escaped bats watching her with predatory intent, Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Hua slid off her back, steadied himself, and supported her.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hu Liena raised her head, about to retort, but her gaze suddenly froze.

Ahead, the suspension bridge spanning the abyss has broken.

Only two bare iron chains remained, swaying precariously in the wind.

Across the bridge, the North Gate of the Killing City still stands.

But the abyss that lies between them is bottomless.

"Where's the bridge?!" Hu Liena's face changed drastically. "How are we going to get back?!"

Ye Hua frowned, his gaze sweeping over the broken bridgehead and the remaining traces around it.

The break is clean and neat, unlike a natural break; it looks more like it was deliberately cut.

“Someone doesn’t want us to go back.”

Hu Liena gripped the dagger tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Could he be the King of Slaughter?"

"Most likely."

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

You can save yourself on the first day of the month, but you can't save yourself on the fifteenth!

It seems that the Snow Emperor still has to use this trump card!

Just as Ye Hua was calling out to Xue Di, a flapping sound of wings suddenly came from above.

Hu Liena was shocked; her fox tail exploded open, revealing a dagger across her chest.

"Don't panic," Ye Hua reassured her, "it's not bats chasing after us."

The figure swooped down, grabbed the two people, and headed straight for the other side!

Hu Liena looked up blankly and saw Qing Fengyun's still-present face.

"Senior Chi Niang? What are you doing—"

“That’s enough, soul bone.” Chi Niang interrupted her.

Hu Liena, being sensible, didn't ask any further questions.

Although what she wanted to ask wasn't why the other person could fly.

In less than half a minute, the two arrived at the open space at the North Gate.

Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief as her feet touched solid ground.

"Thank you, senior!"

Chi Niang folded her bat wings and looked the two of them up and down.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you guys to come back alive."

“Of those who have gone into the northern misty area over the years, only a handful have ever returned.”

Hu Liena nodded, still feeling a lingering fear, and touched her empty collarbone.

"If it weren't for your incense burner, I would have been bewitched and attacked Ye Hua!"

Chi Niang raised an eyebrow, as if she had expected this, "The bats there love to play these kinds of tricks!"

"However, the King of Slaughter is not in good condition; his howls can be heard throughout the entire Slaughter City!"

"You've built up enough killing intent. Finish this 100-win streak and leave as soon as possible, lest things get complicated!"

Upon hearing the name "Hell Road," Hu Liena tensed up. "Ye Hua, shall we go now?"

“We can’t go,” Ye Hua shook his head, gesturing towards the distant Hell Killing Fields. “Didn’t you see that red light?”

Hu Liena looked over and frowned.

The Hell Killing Fields were still illuminated by the red glow, though the intensity had slightly faded, it remained stubbornly intact.

"That red light will take another two days to completely dissipate."

"Now, there's no way to force our way in."

Hu Liena frowned. "So what should we do these next two days?"

"What if the King of Slaughter goes berserk and hunts us down!"

"After all, we can break the ironclad rule of the Killing City that the seven kings must die for thousands of years!"

Hearing her worry, Chi Niang chuckled, "It's alright."
