Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 64 Paying the Price? Danfeng's Choice! (Together)

"Hey mistress, come this way!!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice echoed in the dim forest, the night like a heavy curtain, shrouding the whole world in a deep darkness.

The cold moon hung in the sky, sparingly casting down a few strands of silvery light, barely illuminating the perilous path before them.

"Several Mandragora Snakes, at least four hundred years old! Damn it! What's going on with these soul beasts?! They were just saying there weren't any! How did so many suddenly appear?!"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's heartbeat almost drowned out all the surrounding sounds.

He held onto Tang San's hand tightly, and without any hesitation, ran towards the direction where the poisonous fog was relatively thin!

The two trudged through the soft, damp earth, their feet resting on decaying leaves and crisscrossing tree roots, each step fraught with uncertainty.

Before Tang San was a dense forest, its branches and leaves intertwined, forming a natural barrier.

However, these mandrakes seem to be able to move freely through this complex terrain, their figures appearing and disappearing among the trees like ghosts.

At the same time, the pervasive poisonous fog, like the cloak of death, slowly enveloped them.

The toxic fog carried a corrosive odor, making one feel a burning pain in their lungs with every breath.

Tang San instantly felt a strong sense of suffocation, and cold sweat instantly soaked his vest.

The air around was filled with a nauseating stench, the distinctive smell of the datura snake, mixed with the odor of earth and decay, making every breath extremely difficult.

The rustling sound of snake scales rubbing against the tree trunk echoed in Tang San's ears, along with their chilling hissing sounds.

At this moment, Tang San was already drenched in sweat and cold sweat when he saw the sudden attack of numerous Mandragora Snakes and the pervasive poisonous mist!

He's also a master of poisons! He knows all too well how terrifying snake venom can be!

If it were only one or two, Tang San was confident he could fight them using hidden weapons and the Xuan Tian Kung Fu.

However, the situation was as if they had stumbled into a snake's lair; countless datura snakes surged in like a tide, their eyes gleaming with hunger in the darkness!

Even the Thousand-Hand Guanyin couldn't possibly contend with Tang San!

"Teacher! What's going on?! These snakes seem to have planned this all along, specifically targeting us!!"

Tang San didn't know much about the things in this world, so he could only place his hopes on Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was inwardly panicking, but as a master, he maintained a composed demeanor and pretended to be very serious and calm as he said:

"These mandrakes don't usually attack without provocation unless they feel threatened or their territory is invaded."

"Perhaps we shouldn't trespass on their territory. As long as we leave, it shouldn't be a big problem. We might even find a lone one, and you'll have found your spirit ring too!!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded somewhat faint in the night wind, but he tried his best to make his tone sound calm and unhurried, as if he was already used to such scenes.

"We need to find an exit as soon as possible. These snakes are very aggressive, and we can't stay here any longer."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for a possible escape route.

Tang San naturally believed it, since there was no one else he could trust at this moment.

He quickly retrieved the white radish that was supposed to be fed to Luo Sanpao from the Twenty Bridges Under the Bright Moon. Tang San's fingers deftly moved the radish, instantly transforming it into a deadly weapon.

His movements were swift and skillful, as if the radishes had come to life in his hands, turning into streaks of lightning that shot wildly backward, heading straight for the mandala snakes that were chasing them!

Whoosh whoosh!

As several white radishes were thrown out, sharp whistling sounds filled the air.

Several of the closest datura snakes were accurately struck on the head, emitting painful hisses as they twisted and fell to the side.

Tang Da was overjoyed!

This immediately boosted his confidence! His eyes lit up, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

He thought these snakes were nothing special, and he didn't even use any real hidden weapons. He just used these ordinary radishes to successfully repel these ferocious soul beasts.

If he used hidden weapons, he might actually be able to fight the snake behind him!

The thought crossed Tang San's mind, and his hand unconsciously reached for the silent dart in his sleeve, ready to launch a more ferocious counterattack at any moment.

According to the general outline of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, since these evil soul beasts have endangered his life, they have already met their demise!

Tang San silently recited these words in his heart, his eyes turning gloomy and cold, as if he had made up his mind to eliminate these threats one by one, no matter the cost!

only!

Suddenly!

Tang San, who was gritting his teeth in thought, was suddenly pierced by a sharp scream. He suddenly heard the howling of no fewer than ten Mandala snakes!

"Hiss hiss hiss!!"

The sound was like the howling of a demon in the night, causing Tang San to stare blankly for a moment. His newly regained confidence was ruthlessly shattered at this moment! His heart pounded wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

There were at least a dozen or so Datura snakes chasing after them this time!

A strange sense of panic welled up in Tang San's heart. When did he become so attractive to snakes?

He remembered that he preferred the cute three rabbits! What the heck are these snakes?!

At this moment, Tang San had no intention of continuing the fight at all; he was only thinking about one thing—running fast!! His legs seemed to be equipped with springs, and he took every step as big and fast as possible.

"His farts are like thunder! A deafening roar like three cannon shots!!"

Ahead, Yu Xiaogang's steps were swift, his face grave. He knew that if things continued like this, the two of them would truly become the snakes' meal! He could no longer hold back; he had to go all out!

Yu Xiaogang quickly and accurately applied a soul ring to Luo Sanpao, his mutated martial soul. His hands made a series of complex hand gestures in the air, and his soul power rapidly condensed.

Suddenly, Luo Sanpao's abdomen swelled up, and then he let out three loud farts!

These three farts exploded like thunder, their stench filling the air and instantly creating an insurmountable odor barrier.

Yu Xiaogang attempted to use this stinking fart to stop the relentless datura snakes!

The air around them seemed to be distorted by the stench. Tang San couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose as he ran, but a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

He knew this was their only chance to survive, and they had to seize it to escape!

"We did it! Keep running, mistress!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a hint of smugness. Although his farting soul skill sounded comical, it played a surprisingly effective role at the crucial moment.

When Tang San saw his teacher's outrageous farting soul skill, he couldn't hold back for a moment. His brows furrowed tightly, and he thought to himself, "Whose soul skill is so bizarre? Farting?!"

However, the situation was critical, and he had no time to think about it further.

Anyway, getting out of here would be the best thing! He doesn't want to lose his life here!

A resolute look flashed across Tang San's face. He followed closely behind Yu Xiaogang, and the two of them sped through the forest like arrows released from a bow.

boom!

Just as the master and apprentice were rejoicing that they could finally escape from the clutches of these enraged mandala snakes, a sharp sword aura, like an arrow piercing the air, carrying terrifying killing intent, suddenly shot towards their clasped hands!

The sword energy came with overwhelming force, as if it wanted to cut through everything in its path. The master and disciple were forced to separate their hands instantly, the force like an invisible hand, pushing them violently to either side.

"What's going on now?!"

The attack was too fast and sudden. Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had no time to react and were directly shocked to the side by the explosive power of the sword energy.

Their bodies traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Tang San was filled with shock and disbelief! His eyes were wide open, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and fear and unease surged into his heart like a tide.

He struggled to stand up, but the lingering power of the sword energy still made him feel weak.

The current situation seems to be much more complicated than they imagined.

This sword strike felt somewhat familiar to him, yet also utterly foreign!

When he first sensed the sword, the name of that man involuntarily came to mind—Ren!

The man who always suppressed him with absolute strength, the opponent he hated to death.

However, after experiencing this sword strike, he felt something was wrong! He didn't actually know much about Blade's sword, because in those countless encounters, Blade had mostly beaten him with his fists and almost never used a sword against him, which made him feel very unfamiliar with swords!

Secondly, the power of this sword strike is far beyond what a six-year-old could wield!

That's absolutely impossible!

Moreover, although he was always beaten up by Ren, he always believed that Ren was only able to suppress him because he had more soul power than him.

He firmly believed that it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Blade.

It's only a matter of time before I surpass him!

But the shock he felt from that sword strike was so intense. It was a depth and power that he felt he could hardly reach, even if he reproduced everything about the Tang Sect and added the soul power of this world!

This sword strike seemed to open a door to a completely new understanding of power for him, making him realize that his previous understanding might have been too superficial, and that the power of this world far exceeded his imagination!

"Hey, Third Brother!! Don't stand there! Let's go!! It must be another super-powerful soul beast that's discovered this place! We've accidentally trespassed into their territory again! This is an opportunity! They might be able to buy us some time!! Let's go!!"

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, couldn't think about all that. He had been so frightened by the blade that he had fainted and lost all his memories, so naturally he didn't know about this sword energy. He simply continued to explain according to his broken theory:

"The spirit beasts that came this time are very strong! Perfect, I'll teach you another truth!!"

"More souls, more bones, unleash a powerful attack! Fewer souls, fewer bones, run for your lives!!"

"Mistress, you're very lucky! As the saying goes, theory plus practice, and today's experience will give you a better understanding of the true meaning of that saying!"

"Let's go! Let's run for our lives!!"

Yu Xiaogang was clearly terrified, but he still managed to portray his cowardly nature as incredibly noble.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang reached out again, wanting to grab Tang San's hand again to continue their escape, but in that instant, he felt a cold aura approaching. He glanced back and found that the Mandala Snakes behind them had surged towards them like a tide because of this brief delay.

Their best chance to escape has already slipped away amidst their hesitation and indecision!

Upon seeing this, Tang San's eyes instantly turned incredibly gloomy, as deep as a frozen pool, as if capable of freezing everything.

A surge of intense anger and speechlessness welled up within him. Yu Xiaogang had been taught a lesson by him before, and his strength was indeed lacking. He had never intended to truly rely on him from the beginning.

If it weren't for this bald man with a lisp who had a wealth of theoretical knowledge and could provide him with a lot of useful insights, Tang San might have already left him behind and fled alone.

The thought flashed through Tang San's mind like lightning, and he quickly made a decision.

He gritted his teeth, already having a plan in mind. With this bald man beside him, it would be somewhat inconvenient for him to use the Tang Clan's ultimate techniques. He might as well find an excuse to send him away so that he could fight back and perhaps still have a glimmer of hope.

As for that sword energy just now, although Tang San was full of doubts, he could only choose to believe his teacher Yu Xiaogang's explanation.

In a brief moment of thought, he couldn't figure out that it could be a blade.

No, absolutely not. The difference in strength is too great, and he wouldn't even meet the conditions to enter this place under the strict guard of the Empire and the Spirit Hall!

"Teacher, it's too late! We have to split up!! Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape!!" Tang San's voice was gloomy, and his eyes were firm, ready to face the danger alone.

"Mistress!! Be careful!" Yu Xiaogang's voice was full of worry, but he also understood that this was the only way at the moment.

Seeing Tang San's incredibly agile movements as he dodged several slashing Mandragora snakes and fled in another direction, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and ran off in the same direction without looking back.

While running, he quickly summoned Luo Sanpao, an abstract pig spirit that instantly appeared behind him, blocking several Mandragora snakes that almost crushed his buttocks!

"Let's find a chance to meet up ahead!!" Yu Xiaogang shouted as he ran, his voice drifting in the night wind.

"Understood!!" Tang San's voice was short and powerful; he had already planned his escape route and strategy in his mind.

Now he can have some fun with these snakes!

The two figures quickly separated into the night, each fleeing.

In the darkness, the eyes of the Mandragora Snakes gleamed with an eerie green light. They split into two groups, one continuing to pursue Tang San, while the other relentlessly pursued Yu Xiaogang.

The trees swayed in the night wind, making a rustling sound.

the other side,

Under the silvery moonlight, a slender figure stood silently on a thick branch like a ghost. His presence seemed to blend perfectly with the surrounding environment, and he was almost imperceptible unless one looked closely.

Needless to say, this figure is Ren.

At this moment, his eyes gleamed with a mixture of amusement and excitement, like a cat observing its prey that was about to be caught.

The corners of Ren's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile. His fingers gently stroked the hilt of the sword in his hand, where the warmth of his previous strike still lingered.

His fragmented sword, like his shadow, silently traced a graceful arc in the night. It was its appearance that made Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's escape even more urgent.

As the blade retracted from the shattered sword, his figure blurred for a moment, and then, like mist blown away by the wind, his silhouette vanished without a trace from the branches.

His movements were light and agile, without making a sound, like a cheetah stalking in the night, continuing to follow silently.

Blade's pursuit skills are superb, and Danfeng is the most qualified to speak on this point.

The so-called Danheng Selected!

At this moment, Blade always manages to find the best route between the trees and the shadows. His steps are light and nimble, leaving no obvious trace even on the fallen leaves.

His gaze remained fixed on the two panicked figures ahead, his excitement growing stronger. He knew this game had only just begun.

"Hehehehehehe."
