Douro Continent

Chapter 517 Deadly Battle in the Forest

Yan was now consumed by extreme rage; all he wanted to do was tear Tang San to pieces. Seven Soul Saints—seven Soul Saints painstakingly trained by the Spirit Hall! Their fates were now unknown.

In reality, after the deadly poison personally prepared by Tang San entered their bodies, apart from the one who was struck by the Purple Extreme Divine Light, the other six of the seven Soul Saints had no chance of survival.

The Tang Clan's secret techniques are incredibly powerful when used for surprise attacks.

Tang San was incredibly fast; amplified by the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the Eight Spider Lances' ability to ignore terrain, his speed had reached its limit. However, their pursuers were Soul Saint level experts, including several agility-type Soul Masters. Despite their relentless pursuit, the distance between them continued to close.

Tang San's Ghost Shadow Phantom is indeed amazing, but its greatest strength lies in dodging, not running.

Tang San knew perfectly well that in his previous life, there were several lightness skills on par with Ghost Shadow Tracking that were more suitable for the current situation, such as Shaolin's Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada and the Floating Light and Shadow Technique. But what was the use of thinking about these things now? All he could do was keep moving forward.

At the Soul Saint level, once an opponent's aura locks onto them, it's impossible to lose them as long as they don't stray outside a certain range. Of the thirteen Soul Saints, five are agility-type Soul Masters. The five of them spread out in a fan shape, approaching with lightning speed in a semi-encircling formation.

Even if the five of them were enough to kill Tang San and capture Xiao Wu, as long as they could hold Tang San off for a while, their companions would catch up, and the outcome would still be the same.

The more critical the situation, the more agile Tang San's mind became, his brain racing as he pondered how to extricate himself from the perilous situation.

Gradually, they left the territories of the two great spirit beast kings, and the aura of spirit beasts began to reappear around them. This was definitely not good news for Tang San and Xiao Wu. At their current speed, if they alerted the spirit beasts and were blocked even for a moment, their enemies behind them would quickly catch up.

"Brother," Xiao Wu called softly.

Tang San lowered his head and used his mental power to explore the way forward, so the role of his eyes was not so obvious.

Tang San gently lifted Xiao Wu's long hair with his hand and hugged her tightly. "As long as I'm alive, I will never let them hurt you."

After saying this, Tang San suddenly slowed down, his body lunged forward, and he suddenly stood upright. Four of his Eight Spider Lances were raised and stuck into two large trees in front of him. He was like a giant spider, walking sideways on the tree trunks and crossing several trees in succession.

Tang San's actions were clearly purposeful. He was circling in one direction, while the five people closest to him were chasing him in a fan shape. He was now circling to one side. In this way, when they caught up, they wouldn't immediately face an attack from five Soul Saints.

A blue aura suddenly erupted, and the Blue Silver Grass on the ground began to grow wildly. In this Star Dou Great Forest, where Blue Silver Grass was everywhere, Tang San's strength could undoubtedly be maximized.

Now is not the time to be soft-hearted; Tang San's eyes were filled with cruel coldness.

The agility-type Soul Master closest to him was already in sight, moving at incredible speed, rushing towards Tang San like a phantom.

As the opponent approached, Tang San stopped moving and stuck his Eight Spider Lances into the tree trunk behind him, suspending himself and Xiao Wu in mid-air.

The agility-type Soul Master who was chasing after them was about fifty years old. He didn't have Tang San's ability to detect things with his spiritual power, but he could still sense that he was approaching the target at an extremely fast speed under the pull of the aura, and he was overjoyed. Seeing that Tang San and Xiao Wu's figures had already appeared in front of him, his hands instantly transformed into two sharp blades, and he pounced forward like lightning.

This agility-type Soul Master's Martial Soul is called Soul Chasing Swallow, and its greatest strengths are speed and arc attacks, making it incredibly powerful. At this moment, in order to catch up with Tang San, it had already unleashed its Martial Soul True Form, its entire body resembling a giant black swallow, leaving a trail of icy darkness in the air as it hurtled towards Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Stop," Tang San said in a cold voice.

As if obeying a command, the Soul-Chasing Swallow Saint in mid-air suddenly paused, his entire body halting in mid-air before plummeting towards the ground. A dense layer of Blue Silver Emperor energy had already enveloped his body.

In order to be ready to deal with any possible changes, long before he met Xiao Wu and the others, Tang San had already implanted the Blue Silver Emperor's seed in everyone in the Spirit Hall except for the two Title Douluo. Activating it now had the effect of taking them by surprise.

However, the opponent was unleashing his Martial Soul True Form. The actual delay lasted only a second. The moment his body plummeted downwards, the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around him was torn to shreds by his overwhelming attack.

But that one second was enough for Tang San.

Charging forward, Tang San used the flight ability of his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone to rush at his opponent the instant the opponent was restricted by the parasitic ability. His opponent was already charging towards him, and in this situation, the distance between them closed in the blink of an eye.

Tang San circled his hands in front of his chest and drew the Clear Sky Hammer out of thin air. With a crisp clang, it blocked the opponent's double-bladed attack as he broke free from the parasite.

Judging from his soul power and the strength of his opponent's martial soul true form, Tang San should have been sent flying by that attack under normal circumstances. However, in reality, Tang San did not escape the battle range. This was because the incredibly sharp Eight Spider Lances had already pierced into his opponent's body from eight directions.

Tang San seized the opportunity presented by his opponent's stunned reaction to the Blue Silver Emperor's second soul skill, Parasite, and the panicked struggle to break free. In that instant, the battle was over.

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer blocked his opponent's attack, but the immense force caused the hammer to rebound and collide with Tang San's own body. Tang San used his other hand to pull Xiao Wu away in time, and his Clear Sky Hammer struck Tang San's chest, while his opponent's palm strike left a bloody gash on his chest.

But that was all the Soul-Chasing Swallow Saint could do. The Eight Spider Lances pierced his body, the deadly poison instantly corroding him. Tang San clearly felt his opponent's life force draining away through the Eight Spider Lances. Meanwhile, some of his own previously depleted soul power was restored.

What is the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer? Especially considering the impact of the opponent's soul power. Tang San felt a sweet taste in his throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood. But when his Eight Spider Lances left his opponent's body, his opponent had already completely turned into a dried-up corpse. Completely drained by the Eight Spider Lances.

From start to finish, the entire process took less than three seconds. Almost as long as a single breath. The battle was over.

In a one-on-one battle, Tang San, with his two domains and three soul bones, would definitely win even if his soul power was more than ten levels lower than his opponent's. He could even achieve a complete victory.

However, he had no time to carefully search for his opponent's weaknesses to achieve a complete victory. His desire for a swift and decisive battle led him to resort to this life-or-death tactic. In the blink of an eye, he finished off this Soul Saint-level agility-type Soul Master.

The so-called "risking one's life for another" doesn't mean actually risking one's life. What Tang San did was achieve the greatest result with the least personal cost.

He only coughed up blood and suffered minor injuries; the wound on his chest wasn't deep. Yet, he saved the other person's life, which was undoubtedly an extremely worthwhile deal.

The moment Tang San drew his Eight Spider Lances, he sprang back up with Xiao Wu. Just as he left his original position, at least four ranged attacks landed on the spot where he had been standing. Four other agility-type Soul Masters had already caught up.

Tang San understood that if he wanted to escape the pursuit with Xiao Wu, he had to eliminate these agility-type Soul Masters. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to outrun them. If they encountered any Soul Beasts, he and Xiao Wu would be doomed. Therefore, he boldly decided that no matter what, he had to find a way to take care of these remaining Soul Masters.

On the surface, the price he paid was small, but Tang San himself felt a deep bitterness in his heart.

A Soul Saint is, after all, a Soul Saint, especially one who has already unleashed their Martial Soul True Body. In terms of soul power, he is simply not on the same level as them. Even though it wasn't a full-scale confrontation just now, Tang San was still feeling a tightness in his chest after being struck in the chest by the Clear Sky Hammer. The sharp blade that had slashed across his chest had also sent a highly destructive and sharp energy into his body, which was desperately drilling through him. This forced him to divert a portion of his Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy to expel it.

This slowed him and Xiao Wu's progress even further. The other four agility-type Soul Masters, already in a berserk state, were approaching at an astonishing speed.

Having been pulled away by Tang San, Xiao Wu witnessed firsthand the wound the agility-type Soul Saint had left on Tang San's chest, instantly snapping her out of her reverie. She focused her energy, trying to lighten her body and minimize the burden she placed on Tang San.

"Brother, what do we do?"

Tang San said in a deep voice as he sped forward, "We have to take out these agility-type Soul Masters behind us, otherwise we won't be able to escape. We just killed one, but there are still four left."

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, the scene before her making her feel as if she had returned to the time when she and Tang San faced powerful enemies in the Great Soul Arena.

"Then let's teach them a lesson, the three-five team." As she spoke, Xiao Wu wrapped one arm around Tang San's neck, and as if she had no bones, she slid up from Tang San's shoulder to his back. As her soft, boneless body passed over Tang San, a strong surge of soul power was immediately released.

Xiao Wu hasn't reached level 60 yet, but her soul power level seems to be similar to Ma Hongjun's.

"They're in. Xiao Wu, I can take care of two of them right away, but after that, I need some time to recover. After I launch my attack, you carry me forward as fast as you can, with me on your back. Understand?"

Clinging to Tang San's back, Xiao Wu nodded, indicating that she understood.

Because of Tang San's earlier pause and reduced speed, the four agility-type Soul Masters behind him were getting closer. To avoid being ambushed again, these four Soul Saints gathered together and advanced, now less than fifty meters away from Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The Eight Spider Lances suddenly rose from both sides of his body. At Tang San's signal, Xiao Wu put one foot on his back to gain leverage and leap into the air. Tang San himself put his left toe on a big tree in front of him, turned around in a flash, and raised both hands at the same time.

The speed of the agility-type Soul Saint was simply too fast. Tang San only made a very simple movement, and they had already closed to within twenty meters. All four of them had their skills ready.

But at that moment, all four of them paused for a moment. The two Soul Saints on either side were instantly entangled by the parasitic entanglement launched by the Blue Silver Emperor, while the two in the middle had completely glazed over and their bodies flew forward uncontrollably until they fell to the ground.

Tang San's body felt as if it had been drained of all its energy, and his face turned deathly pale. If it weren't for the timely support of the Eight Spider Lances, he would no longer be able to stand.

The Soul-Chasing, Life-Snatching Yama's Decree. Yes, even with the Soul Saint using his Martial Soul True Body, of all the hidden weapons Tang San possessed, only the Soul-Chasing, Life-Snatching Yama's Decree could deliver a fatal blow.

Tang San had originally crafted three Soul-Chasing and Life-Snatching Yama's Talismans. He had used one before, and the remaining two were thrown out by Tang San in that instant.

The Soul-Chasing and Death-Taking Yama's Decree is not only terrifying in itself, but more importantly, it is the combination of techniques and the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

To unleash the third-ranked inner sect hidden weapon of the Tang Clan, one must possess four ultimate skills: the Jade Hand, the Purple Demon Eye, the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

When Tang San was at level 40, he could only activate the spell once even after exhausting all his soul power. Now, nearing level 60, activating two Yama's Decree spells simultaneously drained more than 70% of his soul power. Coupled with the previous depletion, he was naturally in a very bad state.

"Xiao Wu, help me!" Tang San shouted. For him and Xiao Wu, this was the best opportunity. If they gave up this opportunity, Tang San, who had already consumed most of his soul power, plus Xiao Wu, who was much weaker, would have no chance at all.

A powerful thrust appeared behind Tang San, and the next moment, he was airborne and crashed into one of the agility-type Soul Masters.

Like the agility-type Soul Saint who died under the Eight Spider Lances, this Soul Saint, who was chosen as Tang San's target, was only trapped by the parasite for a second.

Seeing Tang San charging towards him, he only had time to launch a frontal attack even after unleashing his Martial Soul True Body.

However, just as he was about to launch an attack, he discovered that he could no longer move his hands and feet.

Xiao Wu appeared behind him at some point, her arms and legs shimmering with a dazzling pink light, forming a unique armor-like garment on her skin. She was like a giant lock, firmly binding her opponent.

This is Xiao Wu's fifth soul skill, the Soft Bone Lock.

Once Xiao Wu is locked in place by the Soft Bone Lock, unless her strength is more than twice that of the lock-breaker, she can only let the lock her in until her soul power is exhausted or she breaks free on her own.

While using the Soft Bone Lock, Xiao Wu cannot use any other attack methods. However, the effect of this lock is extremely terrifying; when Xiao Wu locks her opponent and then breaks free, the opponent will be frozen for five seconds. This is the most important aspect.

With his two major skills, Instant Teleportation and Soft Bone Lock, this Soul Saint was sentenced to death.

The Eight Spider Lances pierced deeply into his body, instantly draining his life essence. However, Tang San, having had his life energy replenished by the Eight Spider Lances absorbing his opponent's energy, felt a surge of energy. His soul power instantly recovered to about 40%.

Devour—that's the skill associated with the Eight Spider Lances. Tang San rarely used it before because it was too domineering and cruel. But now, for survival, he couldn't care less. With his full power unleashed, the Eight Spider Lances displayed their full might.

With a muffled groan, the instant Xiao Wu released the Soft Bone Lock, her body was already positioned in front of Tang San. A tremendous force propelled her back into Tang San's arms. At the same time, a series of rapid clanging sounds rang out.

Having consecutively killed three agility-type Soul Saints, Tang San and Xiao Wu had unleashed their full power. However, they were facing four enemies after all.

Seeing his three companions perish at the hands of two opponents far weaker in spirit power, the last agility-type Soul Saint felt a chill run down his spine, in addition to anger. Just as Tang San's Eight Spider Spears were consuming his power, he launched a sneak attack.

Unfortunately, he managed to ambush Xiao Wu using her fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body.

Despite being thrown back into Tang San's arms by the powerful impact, the brief period of invincibility left her unharmed. With one arm around Tang San's waist and her feet barely touching the ground, she propelled herself forward with incredible speed. The clanging sound came from Xiao Wu's other hand, firing the Zhuge Crossbow in a backhand motion.

She had already prepared the trap while she was in Tang San's arms.

A series of clanging explosions rang out. While the Zhuge Crossbow couldn't harm a Soul Saint-level expert, it could certainly slow them down. Tang San recovered some of his strength, his Eight Spider Lances springing up from the ground, carrying Xiao Wu as they flew back into the depths of the forest.

Four of the five agility-type Soul Masters are already gone. If they disappear into the forest, Tang San is confident that his Blue Silver Grass will prevent the last remaining agility-type Soul Master from attacking them. Once his Soul Power recovers somewhat, the two of them can join forces to take down this agility-type Soul Saint. Escaping the pursuit of the other Soul Saints won't be difficult either.

At this moment, the other Spirit Hall experts who had pursued them were still more than 500 meters away. This distance posed no threat to them whatsoever.

However, as the saying goes, even human strength has its limits. Tang San's calculations, his strength, and his tacit cooperation with Xiao Wu had undoubtedly been flawless. With both of them being below level sixty, they had managed to kill four Soul Saints in a short time. This was undoubtedly something to be proud of. If things had truly progressed according to Tang San's plan, they would have had a great chance of escaping the enemy's pursuit and fleeing this place. Once the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python broke free from the domains of Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo, they would be free from any further danger.

But man proposes, God disposes. Just as they plunged into the woods, and the agility-based Soul Saint behind them was blocked by the Zhuge Crossbow, suddenly, a vast, verdant net unfurled in front of them.

Slippery liquid dripped continuously from the large net, and a colossal figure, over three meters in diameter and predominantly black and white, appeared in Tang San and Xiao Wu's sight. That large net was what it had spewed out.

That was a soul beast, and one that Tang San was extremely familiar with.

It was the human-faced spider, known as the evil killer.

The human-faced demon spider that appeared before him was much larger than any he had ever seen before. Its presence here undoubtedly proved that its cultivation had reached a terrifying level of over 30,000 years.

It's important to understand that the Human-Faced Demon Spider, a terrifying soul beast, is often hunted by powerful soul beasts due to its extremely aggressive nature. Cultivating for a thousand years is already quite difficult, let alone tens of thousands.

When Tang San saw its enormous form and the spiderweb dripping with slime, his heart sank. Was this what they meant by "what goes around comes around"? He had once hunted two Man-Faced Demon Spiders and possessed their spirit rings and the external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, which had brought him immense benefits. But this Man-Faced Demon Spider seemed destined to be the end for him and Xiao Wu.

What puzzled Tang San most was that his spiritual power had been constantly probing the surroundings, yet he hadn't discovered anything unusual. How did this human-faced demon spider even appear?

Little did he know that the Human-Faced Demon Spider, a creature that devours life, is the object of hatred for all soul beasts, a terrifying and evil killer. Once its strength reaches ten thousand years, it develops a special concealment skill. This skill not only allows it to conceal its form but also its aura, even blocking mental detection. Even the Grandmaster didn't know this, after all, ten-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spiders are extremely rare.

This is why it appeared in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu without warning. Clearly, it had already identified Tang San and Xiao Wu as its prey.

The two spider spears on the left front swept towards the ground with all their might. With a screeching sound, they caused Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies to tilt instantly, changing their direction of movement and drawing a huge arc, narrowly avoiding hitting the spider web.

However, they were not only facing a spider web, but also a terrifying human-faced demon spider with a strength of over 30,000 years.

The enormous spider silently moved sideways and waited at their new location, its four extremely thick legs thrusting straight towards the two of them.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances' blood-sucking effect came from the Human-Faced Demon Spider, so he was well aware of the consequences of being pierced by these spears. No matter how tough his body was, he would never dare to come into contact with these terrifying blood-sucking spears.

This is where Tang San's rich combat experience comes into play. His sliding body paused briefly, aided by the four spider spears below piercing the ground, while the four spider spears above simultaneously rose. Spider spear against spider spear, meeting the attack of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

With a resounding clang, Tang San and Xiao Wu were sent flying backward by the immense impact. Tang San coughed up another mouthful of blood from the shock. Even at his peak, he would need to go all out against such a powerful soul beast, let alone now that he only had 40% of his power remaining.

However, the human-faced demon spider was not faring well either. Although its spider spears were larger than Tang San's Eight Spider Spears, Tang San was at a disadvantage in terms of strength when the two clashed. However, in terms of toughness, the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears had the upper hand.

The four spider spears of this ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider were pierced by Tang San's eight spider spears, leaving four small holes.

It is important to know that as Tang San's strength increased, his Eight Spider Lances also continued to evolve. Whether it was the two great immortal herbs, the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, or Tang San's Blue Silver Grass that awakened for the second time and became the Blue Silver Emperor, they all caused it to evolve continuously.

As Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong (Mysterious Heaven Skill) improved, meaning his soul power increased, and the Eight Spider Lances underwent various evolutions, their toughness far surpassed that of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's legs. Furthermore, they possessed both ice and fire attributes.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were knocked away, but the human-faced demon spider couldn't give chase because the swarming blue silver grass on the ground had already tightly wrapped around its body. The four spider legs that had collided with Tang San earlier were now glowing with red and blue light, which was rapidly spreading along the legs towards its body.

It was a mixture of ice poison and fire poison. The toxins from both Man-Faced Demon Spiders could neutralize each other, but Tang San's unique properties made it difficult for the Man-Faced Demon Spiders to eliminate. Fortunately, it hit his spider leg, which slowed the spread.

The human-faced spider let out an extremely sharp screech, its massive body struggling violently. With its overwhelming strength, it finally managed to tear apart the Blue Silver Grass surrounding it. However, it did not pursue Tang San and Xiao Wu any further, clearly realizing the danger. Black energy surged within its body, resisting the red and blue extensions, and it quickly sprang up and disappeared into the forest.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was scared away by Tang San's dual poisons of ice and fire, but this Man-Faced Demon Spider also brought them great disaster.

For a Soul Saint, five hundred meters is not a long distance. Even if they are not agility-based Soul Saints, they can arrive in a very short time.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had already wasted a lot of time killing four agility-type Soul Saints, and now they were being blocked by this human-faced demon spider, while the enemies behind them had caught up.

At this moment, Tang San couldn't help but recall the saying, "Man proposes, God disposes."

The Blue Silver Emperor was replaced by the Clear Sky Hammer. With a deafening roar, it smashed through the attack of the last remaining agility-type Soul Master. Tang San barely managed to stabilize his body, which had been blasted away by the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and his heart was filled with despair.

Yan, engulfed in flames, had surrounded him and Xiao Wu with eight non-agility-based Soul Saints. All their energy was locked onto them.

Barely managing to use the Clear Sky Hammer to repel the last remaining agility-type Soul Saint, Tang San's injuries worsened, and he coughed up blood again.

If it weren't for his extremely resilient body, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up long ago after constantly facing such impacts that were beyond his capabilities.

Although his internal energy recovered very quickly after opening his eight extraordinary meridians, it still took time. From the moment he knocked down Xie Yue and launched his surprise attack, how could he have had even a moment to recover his energy?

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?" Yan stared fiercely at Tang San's face. From Tang San's use of the Blue Silver Emperor and his hidden weapons, he naturally recognized his identity. But it was precisely because of this that his hatred for Tang San grew even stronger.

Five years have passed. The boy who once brought him shame has become a young man, and the original gap in soul power has actually narrowed considerably.

Although Yan's strength was still inferior to that of the Spirit Hall experts around him, he was in charge of these people at this moment because of his status as a member of the Golden Generation.

As Yan pursued them, he witnessed a horrifying scene. Four agility-type Soul Saints had died at the hands of Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Keep in mind, those were four Soul Saints! And in order to catch up with Tang San and the others, they even used ultimate techniques like their Martial Soul True Body. Yet, they still couldn't escape death, and two of them had already turned into pus, their bodies completely dismembered.

Yan harbored a deep sense of fear and even jealousy towards Tang San. From childhood, having cultivated in the highest hall of Soul Masters, he had always been a standout among the younger generation, with only Xie Yue and Hu Liena able to compare to him. However, just a few short years had passed. The young man before him now gave him a feeling of being far beyond his reach.

Adding to the goodwill Hu Liena had shown towards Tang San earlier, Yan's hatred for Tang San could only be described as bone-deep. Having finally managed to surround them, Yan secretly vowed that no matter what, he would destroy Tang San here today.

"Since you're willing to send a few more down with you, why should I run?" Tang San said calmly. He had already broken free from the despair he felt after being blocked by the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, he would never give up.

While talking to Yan, he desperately urged the Xuan Tian Gong within his body to recover quickly.

The remaining nine Soul Saints felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing Tang San's words. Although they were facing an opponent who was not even level 60, they were far from relaxed.

Of the twenty Soul Saints, only nine remained standing. If it were before, and someone told them this was accomplished by a Soul King, they would never have believed it. But the fact was right before their eyes, and Tang San's proud, upright figure exerted an invisible pressure on their hearts.

They all knew that Tang San had no chance of survival, but who would be willing to be the one to take him down with them? He had already killed so many people; it wouldn't be surprising if he dragged one or two more down with him in his final moments. Therefore, these Soul Saints' first thought was to defend themselves, and defensive skills began to appear on their bodies.

Xiao Wu was only half a head shorter than Tang San. She had already landed on both feet, but she was still leaning against Tang San's chest. She didn't even look at the enemies surrounding them. She buried herself completely in Tang San's arms, as if she wanted to merge into his body.

The air was so heavy it seemed to drip water. Tang San appeared calm, but his Xuan Tian Gong was being activated with near-frenzied intensity. Who would willingly die, especially with his beloved Xiao Wu in his arms? Despite the overwhelming power of the surrounding enemies, Tang San was determined to fight this final battle, and he would never give up, even if it meant only a sliver of hope.

This is where Tang San's physical strength truly shines. His body had been injured multiple times before, especially by intense shocks, yet none of these had caused him substantial harm. After being struck by the waterfall, cleansed by two celestial herbs, tempered at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and awakened by the Blue Silver Emperor, coupled with the amplification from his three soul bones, Tang San was now an impenetrable fortress, even without using his soul power for protection.

With his left hand outstretched, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air in his grasp, and the four lower branches of the Eight Spider Lances were driven into the ground. Under the influence of the Blue Silver Domain, the Blue Silver Grass around Tang San's body grew wildly at an astonishing speed.

"Make your move!" Yan suddenly roared.

Just as Yan opened his mouth, Tang San was the first to move. The wildly growing Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet suddenly sprang up like a spring, along with the Eight Spider Lances. Under the combined force of the two, Tang San, holding Xiao Wu, shot into the air like a cannonball.

The two were originally completely locked onto by the auras of the nine opponents, but in the instant they were thrown up, Tang San suddenly swung his Clear Sky Hammer into the air. A dense white light shot into the sky like a sharp cone, cold, cruel, chilling, and tragic. The massive killing intent was so dense that it seemed to have a tangible form. It actually broke through the joint lock of the nine Spirit Hall experts and propelled the two of them into the air.

With no way to enter underground and all directions blocked, the sky was the only escape route. Tang San was incredibly clever. Although time was short and the unexpected event brought by the Man-Faced Demon Spider had driven them into a desperate situation, in just a moment, he had already found the most likely place to break through.

The climax is about to begin! Fans of Douluo Continent, please vote for Xiao San! Thank you.
