Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 509: The Final "Contract"!

"Ah~"

Xiao Feilian did not hold back in this attack, and Tang San, who was in a daze, did not resist.

The power of destruction collided with "Shura Tang San," and in an instant, "Shura Tang San" flashed red light and withdrew from the state of dual gods as one.

Xiao Wu, Tang San's sword sheath, spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, Xiao Wu was still just a "human", not a god.

Faced with the power of destruction, she, as a "human," was utterly powerless to resist.

As for Tang San, he was at least a dual-god in one body, possessing two kinds of divine power. Even though there was a level difference between him and Xiao Feilian, he was not as weak as Xiao Wu.

After exiting the dual-god state, Tang San still appeared as the Sea God Tang San, but Xiao Wu...

Xiao Wu did not faint or continue coughing up blood. Instead, she looked at Tang San with a complex expression in her eyes.

Tang San "tricked" her out of her soul ring and soul bone, and then returned them to her. In the end, she became the vessel of the Asura God's power and the scabbard in Tang San's hand.

But was this really something she did willingly?

As the rabbit was about to die, she at least knew the truth before she died.

"Tang San, Sister Xiao Wu never expected this, she really never expected this..."

Xiao Wu sighed and continued, "I never imagined that such an evil method of control existed in the world. I thought it was love, but I never imagined that divine power had corrupted my mind."

Upon hearing this, Tang San murmured, "Xiao Wu..."

His tone was equally complex, because he knew far more than Xiao Wu did.

Especially when he became the God of Asura, he understood why Xiao Wu sacrificed herself and why she became the Asura Demon Sword.

But he was unwilling to face these things because they were contrary to the right path.

As disciples of the Tang Clan, even in darkness, one must always keep one's heart turned towards the light.

This time, Xiao Feilian did not continue to attack; she had also noticed Xiao Wu and Tang San's current state.

Tang San was completely powerless to fight at this point.

Xiao Wu lay on the ground, her body shimmering with faint fluorescent light that dissipated into the air.

Her current state is nothing more than a final burst of energy before death, her final moment.

The power of destruction is not so easy to withstand.

Her body began to dissipate into fireflies, but Xiao Wu showed no panic. Instead, she became increasingly clear-headed, a rare clarity of mind.

She's already died once, so what's wrong with dying again?

As if remembering something, Xiao Wu gave a sad smile, turned her head to look at Tang San lying to the side, and said, "By the way, Tang San."

Upon hearing this, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with bloodshot eyes, a glint of tears welling up in them, but he forced himself to remain silent. He was eager to know what Xiao Wu wanted to say.

Did you ever truly love me?

Tang San was stunned. He looked at Xiao Wu with a blank expression, his whole body trembling slightly, but he fell silent.

The past flashed before his eyes, those were the little moments he shared with Xiao Wu.

Have you ever truly loved someone?

He changed at some point, becoming ruthless in his pursuit of power, but now he regrets it.

They were supposed to grow old together, but who would have thought it would end like this?

Seeing that Tang San remained silent, Xiao Wu gave a sad smile and said, "I understand."

Upon seeing this, Tang San frantically shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Wu! I loved you!"

Yes, he was indeed moved and took action to express it.

He can wreak havoc on the world and launch a grand plan that will last for millennia.

I'd even die for Xiao Wu!

"Before participating in the Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament, I always loved you!"

At this point, Tang San's tone became increasingly agitated.

"You know what? I desperately needed strength back then!"

"I have no way, there's really no way!"

"Xiao Feilian and Du Siji, they are like an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on me and making it hard to breathe. I want to win the championship, really, just to win the championship, to beat them just once!"

Xiao Wu stared into Tang San's eyes, completely ignoring the murderous aura emanating from him, and sighed, "Tang San, that was just a competition, wasn't it?"

"..."

Silence, dead silence.

Yes, it was just a competition. Why couldn't he see through it?

Suddenly, Tang San seemed to have thought of something, and a bitter look flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Wu was influenced by the power of the Asura God, but wasn't Tang San the same...?

Asura, power, inheritor...

That guy has gone completely mad for the sake of the so-called successor.

"Sister Xiaowu is no good, I'm just too weak."

Seeing Tang San lost in thought, Xiao Wu murmured and continued, "Actually, being immersed in the illusion of divine power is not bad. You don't have to think about so many things, nor do you have to carry so much burden. You can just love you wholeheartedly."

"I never imagined that I would learn the truth before I died. My life has been truly pathetic."

Tang San's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and a tear of blood fell from his blood-red eyes.

If he could, he would love to start all over again.

This time, he doesn't want the Asura Godhood!

He stopped arguing, stopped arguing about anything, all he wanted was his Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu had no idea what Tang San was thinking; she just felt that her time was almost up.

Before she dies, let her fulfill the final "contract" for the boy who once promised to protect her for life.

"Xiao Feilian, though I have been resurrected, my essence remains unchanged."

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Feilian in mid-air and continued, "After I die, my soul and bones will belong to you, which will fulfill our five-year agreement."

After saying this, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San beside her.

"Goodbye, Tang San."

Xiao Wu's body turned into fireflies, the Asura Demon Sword fell to the ground, and a pink right arm soul bone also fell to the ground. She took one last look at Tang San, and the last wisp of firefly light disappeared.

"No!!!"

Tang San, drawing strength from who-knows-where, stood up and reached out to grab at the air, but to no avail.

After a long while, he sat down on the ground, staring at the Asura Demon Sword and Soul Bone before him, unable to calm down for a long time.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

"Xiao Wu, don't leave me..."

Upon seeing this, everyone fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

There were no mocking or disdainful remarks.

You can laugh at Tang San for being weak, you can laugh at him for lacking self-awareness, you can even laugh at him for being a heartless person...

But how do you explain love?

Think carefully about Tang San's experiences. If they were in his shoes, would they have become like Tang San?

After a long while, Tang San picked up the Asura Demon Sword and the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone from the ground with a blank expression. This was the power he had once longed for the most, but now his heart was not stirred at all.

If obtaining all this requires exchanging Xiao Wu, he would rather have nothing at all.

Tang San slowly walked up to Xiao Feilian, looked at the soul bone in his hand again, and finally handed it to Xiao Feilian.

"Xiao Feilian, I lost. This is the bet."

"But I'd like to exchange this Asura Demon Sword for it, is that alright?"

Seeing Tang San's pleading eyes, Xiao Feilian finally accepted the Asura Demon Sword.

"Thanks."

"The Asura Godhood is within the Asura Demon Sword. As for what to do with it, that's your problem."

Tang San looked at the soul bone in his hand...
