Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 167 The Counterattack

Outside the Papal Palace

Ten miles away from the competition area, in a sparsely populated alley, Chen Xuan landed and immediately concealed his presence, rushing into a hotel.

It's almost dinnertime now, and the restaurant is quite crowded and noisy, which helps to dispel some of the stench.

Chen Xuan asked for a guest room, locked the doors and windows, and took out the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night that he had stolen from Tang San.

Inside the storage space were many pills made from immortal herbs, all kinds, with immediate effects, just right to help him restore his soul power.

Chen Xuan didn't care about so much. He casually grabbed a few pills, swallowed them in one gulp, and began to recover to his best condition.

Not long ago, he used the Shadow Clone Technique, which took away half of his soul power. Now, he has used his space-time abilities repeatedly, leaving him with less than 50% of his soul power.

It won't take long, a minute or two is enough. He only needs to absorb the pills initially to regain his mobility.

the other side

The Papal Palace and the entire competition area were in a state of disrepair. Many buildings were destroyed by the aftershocks of the Title Douluo level, and the arena was riddled with craters and cracks.

Tang San woke up with a start, only then realizing he had been out of control during the time-lapse. He looked completely bewildered, having been lost in thought and unaware of what had happened.

This sent chills down his spine. In such a dangerous place, he had made such a mistake. If someone wanted to assassinate him, he would already be a corpse.

Seeing that his son was alright, Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew it was time to leave, otherwise, once those people realized what was happening, even he might not be able to escape unscathed.

"Master, Flander, you have taught my son for many years. I owe you a debt of gratitude!" Tang Hao rolled up Tang San and disappeared in a flash, leaving no trace.

From the distant sky came Tang Hao's powerful voice.

"Your Holiness, shall we pursue him?" Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo asked. Even though they were Title Douluos, they were far from being able to catch up with Tang Hao's speed.

Bibi Dong glanced down and saw that all the Shrek members were in the arena, except for the rabbit and Chen Xuan.

"Chase them! Go after them! Seal off Wuhun City! That rabbit can't have gone far!" she shouted sternly, issuing a kill order and dispatching two groups of people to hunt down Tang Hao and Xiao Wu.

Based on what just happened, the rabbit must have sneaked away while they were fighting. Martial Soul City is a vast area, and she didn't believe that a mere Soul Master could escape in just a few minutes.

Ghost Douluo spoke in a hoarse voice, analyzing, "Presumably, that rabbit is somewhere in the city waiting for Tang Hao to pick it up. If we put pressure on Tang Hao, even if we can't catch up with him, we can still prevent him from picking up that rabbit."

Without saying a word, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo immediately activated his martial soul, leaped into the sky, and chased after Tang Hao's footsteps.

"Send word to Lordiara, instructing him to lead men to seal the city gates and prevent any suspected individuals from leaving. Also, mobilize some Soul Saint deacons to search for anyone inside Martial Soul City!" Bibi Dong quickly made arrangements and gave these instructions.

What puzzled her was, where had Chen Xuan gone? Tang Hao had already escaped and should be back by now.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The black-robed cardinal accepted the order and turned to make the arrangements.

Below, the arena

"Dean, Master, what should we do now?" Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar and others asked, they were very worried, fearing that Xiao Wu would be caught.

Flander rubbed his temples, he was also very worried. Xiao Wu had left ahead of time, and he didn't know where she had gone, or whether His Majesty Haotian could find her.

"Sigh, I hope Xiao Wu is alright!"

If he had known that today's events would happen, he would rather not have won the championship and would never have allowed Shrek Academy to come to Wuhun City.

"It must be Chen Xuan. He must have leaked the secret that Sister Xiao Wu is a soul beast. Otherwise, how could the Spirit Hall possibly know?" Tai Long was furious, with a vicious expression on his face.

Oscar and Dai Mubai also hated Chen Xuan to the core for betraying Shrek Academy and even killing his mistress; he was simply a lackey of the Spirit Hall.

The others also began to verbally and in writing criticize Chen Xuan, and all their past grievances erupted at this moment.

The master stood tall and rebuked, "We should never have let him enter Shrek Academy in the first place, or we wouldn't be in this situation today."

His tone was very calm, and it was unclear whether he was intentionally or unintentionally referring to certain people.

Perhaps even he himself has forgotten that the current Shrek Academy was originally Blue Tyrant Academy, founded by Liu Erlong, and Chen Xuan was not a student of Shrek.

Furthermore, it was Yu Xiaogang who orchestrated the recruitment of substitute members for the Shrek Seven Devils, all in order to conceal their true strength.

"Back in the qualifiers, I could tell that Chen Xuan was a wicked person with an impure heart, which is why I banned him multiple times," Yu Xiaogang said truthfully, making it sound so convincing that it was the truth and there was no question of him being unfairly targeted.

Zhu Zhuqing and Jiangzhu remained silent, saying nothing, but their impression of Yu Xiaogang was extremely poor. Only now did they realize that the so-called master was such a hypocritical person.

On the high platform, listening to Shrek Academy's verbal attacks on Chen Xuan, Bibi Dong frowned, but said nothing.

Although Chen Xuan is now a member of the Spirit Hall, she loves Grandmaster even more. The fact that Yu Xiaogang could say such things suggests that the other party is likely a person of questionable character.

She wouldn't fully trust this young man. Since Chen Xuan could betray Shrek Academy, he could also betray the Spirit Hall. She deeply understood that this kind of person wouldn't wholeheartedly follow anyone, and it wouldn't hurt to be appropriately cautious.

Previously, during her battle with Tang Hao, the fluctuations were too great, and Bibi Dong was unaware that the person who assassinated the master was none other than Chen Xuan himself.

Below, the arena

"Huh, what's this?"

Tyrone glanced casually and noticed a sharp weapon lying on the ground. It had a silver metallic exterior and was shaped like a dagger. He picked it up and was immediately surprised. Wasn't that the kunai that Chen Xuan usually used?

"Master, take a look at this. It looks like something left behind by that guy Chen Xuan."

Talon turned around, holding the silver kunai in both hands, and presented it to the master for him to see.

The rest of the Shrek members turned their attention to examine the gleaming weapon.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed that traitor's equipment."

Flander took over and explained, "That's right, this is Chen Xuan's martial soul ability. By inscribing the spell on an object, he can achieve spatial teleportation."

Tyrone sighed, feeling it was a pity, and said, "What's the use of him teleporting here? It would be great if we could find him with the help of this item, otherwise it's too easy for him."

Then, he stood up for Yu Xiaogang, shouting indignantly, "Chen Xuan is a scoundrel. The master and his teachers have taught him for so many years, and this shameless thief not only shows no gratitude, but also tries to assassinate the master, causing the master to be injured like this today. He is truly heartless and insane."

Qin Ming, Oscar, and the others were also indignant. Although they already knew that Chen Xuan was the assassin who killed Yu Xiaogang, they were still very angry when it was mentioned. They felt sorry for the master and wished they could tear that kid to pieces.

"The assassin?"

Upon hearing the news, Bibi Dong was first stunned, and then her mind seemed to explode. Her beautiful eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief.

Then, she suddenly sensed Chen Xuan's presence; the kid had appeared abruptly, just three thousand meters away.

The black-robed bishop present also sensed it. Didn't that kid run away? Why did he suddenly come back?

The next moment, Bibi Dong suddenly realized something, and panicked, urgently shouting, "Xiao Gang, get out of here!"

Bibi Dong's sudden shout stunned everyone present. How could the high and mighty Pope suddenly become so out of control?

Flander and Liu Erlong suddenly woke up, their pupils contracting sharply, as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Talon, throw that dagger away!" the two shouted.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale, fear filled the depths of his pupils, a suffocating sense of death enveloped him, making it hard to breathe, and every cell in his body trembled.

Tailong was right in front of the master, less than half a meter away. Although he didn't know what the dean and Teacher Erlong meant, he was very obedient and forcefully threw his kunai into the sky.

"Too late!"

Just as the kuwu was released, a golden light burst forth from above Yu Xiaogang's head, and Chen Xuan's figure suddenly appeared, so fast that everyone was caught off guard.

He returned in top form, wielding a long, cyan-gold spear crackling with electricity and containing terrifying soul power fluctuations, wielding the power of lightning.

"Stop!" At this moment, Liu Erlong roared hysterically.

Chen Xuan moved with lightning speed, without the slightest hesitation, and fired a shot downwards, aiming for Yu Xiaogang's head.

This time he was smarter. He didn't stab the heart, but went straight for the head. He refused to believe that if he could survive without a head, he would have no complaints and accept it!

"stop!"

"Stop it right now!"

"Chen Xuan, stop right now! If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll kill you or tear you to pieces!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong, Flander, Liu Erlong, and the others unleashed their soul power and rushed over, using their fastest soul skills ever.
