Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

He was destroyed, shattered.

His blood gradually turned cold, his anger was ignored, and his killing intent was trampled. Tang San no longer had a single thought to resist it.

His blank mind could only desperately try to keep himself from kneeling down, licking his last bit of pain and helplessness.

Kong Tianxu withdrew his gaze, his hands hovering over Tang Hao's left leg and right arm, seemingly choosing the most suitable position.

He killed Yu Xiaogang in front of countless people from Shrek Academy, and the golden fireworks that bloomed at the end were known throughout Heaven Dou City. If the Spirit Hall wanted to investigate, it would be easy to confirm that Yu Xiaogang died at his hands.

However, it seems that it will take quite a bit of trouble to produce irrefutable evidence that he killed Tang Hao.

Beheading? Hmmm...

It doesn't seem very elegant.

What about the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul bone? The Spirit Hall should recognize it, right?

Kong Tianxu pondered for a moment, then took out the Golden Scale Sacred Sigh, which he hadn't used for a long time. The extremely blunt blade flowed along Tang Hao's rough muscles until it reached the point where the bones of his arm and shoulder connected.

Stab it down.

Blood spurted out, and Tang San's body trembled involuntarily, causing him to instinctively close his eyes.

The next moment, the world changed.

Everything around him began to change. Tang San was suddenly surprised to find that the Blue Silver Emperors, which had been hovering around him under his control, seemed to have disappeared. Although he could still sense their presence, they were no longer visible in his sight.

The surrounding scenery changed; it was no longer the ruins of the former killing capital, but a forest and lake.

The clear lake made the air even more humid, and the surrounding towering trees were reflected on the lake surface. Under the bright sunshine, everything became crystal clear under the reflection of the water.

The lake is not very large, only about 100 meters in diameter, but it is so clear that it is like a mirror, reflecting the green trees on both sides, creating a beautiful scene.

At the edge of the pool, an even stranger scene unfolded.

A young girl in a white dress sat quietly under a large tree, her arms wrapped around her knees. Her gaze was fixed intently on the pool in front of her, lost in thought.

Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded down, spilling onto the grass behind her. She looked so beautiful.

Beside this moving scene, an extremely tall figure crouched silently, a presence like a mountain. Its jet-black fur shimmered faintly in the dim sunlight. Although it was on all fours, its shoulder height was definitely over seven meters. If it stood upright, its height would probably be over fifteen meters.

In appearance, it is a creature that looks like both an ape and a chimpanzee, except for a pair of lantern-sized eyes that shimmer with a yellowish luster, and its entire body is pitch black.

Tang San's eyes were already open.

At this moment, however, he had no time to pay attention to the powerful and familiar Titan ape; his eyes, which had been blurred by blood, were now glazed over.

No matter how much time passes, no matter where he is, he will never forget this person, his Xiao Wu.

Five years have passed, and Xiao Wu has become even more beautiful. She has grown taller and fuller, and the youthful innocence she once had has completely transformed into stunning beauty. Her large, soft eyes gazed down at everything with an empty look.

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San reached out his hand to the girl in the white dress.

As if responding to him, the girl's eyes suddenly brightened.

Looking into those bright, star-like eyes, Tang San seemed completely mesmerized. He seemed to have forgotten everything—the City of Slaughter, his deceased father—and simply reached out his hand to the girl.

Just then, an angry roar exploded.

puff--

Countless water droplets transformed into dazzling light, instantly propelling Tang San's approaching body into the sky. The air suddenly became humid, and a gigantic bull's head, over four meters in diameter, abruptly rose from the water.

Strangely, what connected behind this giant body was not the body of a bull, but a huge snake, several times thicker than a water vat, with dark blue-black scales and an enormous body soaring into the sky.

Tang San seemed completely oblivious to the colossal creature soaring into the sky. His gaze passed over the enormous head of the Azure Bull Python, over the spray of water, over everything that stood between him and Xiao Wu, and he looked longingly at the girl.

As the giant beast soared into the sky, it carried him into the air as well, bringing him closer to Xiao Wu.

But at that moment, he saw a person's reflection in Xiao Wu's eyes.

The murderer who killed his father!

A young man in white with silver hair was rapidly approaching from a distance. The Azure Bull Python opened its huge mouth, and a dense, almost tangible, azure light spewed out from the depths of its throat.

But the white-robed youth simply flicked his hand, and the azure light, along with the body of the Azure Bull Python, was as if crushed by an invisible hand. The azure scales crumbled and peeled off piece by piece, and the Azure Bull Python let out a mournful cry.

Its body fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the lakeside.

The Titan Ape beneath Xiao Wu's feet let out a deafening roar, its yellowish-brown eyes suddenly brightening as its massive body stood upright and unleashed a powerful punch.

The young man in white extended his other hand.

Two fists, one large and one small, collided above the lake, and time seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, the Titan Ape's fist, several times larger than the white-robed youth, was crushed into pieces in the same way as the Azure Bull Python.

The blood of the two forest kings gradually flowed out, staining the forest like hell. Two exceptionally burly and robust middle-aged men slowly emerged from the lake water stained red by the blood of the two forest kings.

One of them had long, blue hair that reached his waist, and his eyes were also deep blue. The other person had brownish-yellow eyes with a faint golden light flowing within them, like a wild beast that had not yet fully transformed.

They easily restrained Tang San's limbs, and one of them struck his arm with a palm strike. Tang San screamed in agony as his entire left arm snapped off inch by inch in an instant.

The pain, magnified tenfold, instantly spread through his brain. His entire body convulsed violently.

Next came his right arm, then his legs. Faced with the opponent's overwhelming soul power, Tang San's bones shattered continuously until there wasn't a single intact bone left in his body.

However, he did not die. His whole body convulsed continuously. No matter how intense the pain was around his body, his spirit remained excited. This excited spirit meant that he had to fully bear every sensation brought by the outside world.

But at this moment, no amount of pain seemed to matter anymore. Tang San watched in utter terror as the young man in white walked toward Xiao Wu.

He watched helplessly as the young man in white stopped in front of Xiao Wu and slowly extended his sinister hands towards her…

-----------------

Kong Tianxu took out a piece of right arm bone that was completely black, examined it for a while, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he found a flat spot on the ground, squatted down, and tapped it with his knuckles, producing a crisp and long sound.

"Clang clang—"

"Little dance!"

Tang San cried out in despair. He saw the white-clad youth's hand tightly gripping Xiao Wu's neck, lifting her off the ground, and looking at him with a sinister smile.

Xiao Wu's legs kicked helplessly in the air, her white skirt fluttering as she struggled, her face filled with grief and resentment.

"Brother, brother, save me, save me..."

Xiao Wu struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from the white-clad youth's grasp.

What nearly made Tang San's eyes bleed was that Xiao Wu's clothes were being removed piece by piece by the other party, revealing skin as white as mutton fat jade.

As the other party's movements became increasingly intense, Tang San was powerless to do anything.

His vision had become blurry. Intense pain continued to wash over him, causing his entire body to convulse.

He could only watch everything with resentment, those mocking purple-gold eyes that were wielding boundless energy against his lover, and the blue and yellow eyes that stood in front of him.

He remembered these three people, but it was all in vain.

Blood began to drip from Tang San's eyes, but with all his bones shattered, he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu was humiliated.

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with despair and hatred, but what truly broke him was that that despair and hatred was directed entirely at him.

No, no—!

Tang San wanted to shout and get up, but he couldn't move no matter what he said.

They had already begun the final step.

"No—" A heart-wrenching cry echoed wildly in Tang San's mind. He had fallen into extreme agitation. However, the scene before him became exceptionally clear.

The surging sound of the water and Xiao Wu's desperate eyes were magnified in his six senses.

"Little dance!"

A bright red dot appeared in the crystal-clear lake water, just a wisp, as if someone had used an extremely fine brush to dot the bluish-red surface of the water, creating an eerie flower in the lake.

Outside Mirror Lake, the blood flowing from the corpses of the two colossal beasts, the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python, had just soaked the grass on the shore.

……

After carefully putting away the rather unusual-looking right arm bone, Kong Tianxu took out the bamboo shoot he had broken off from outside the City of Slaughter.

The bamboo shoot was quite inconspicuous, but Kong Tianxu was able to spot it because it was surrounded by tall trees rather than bamboo groves, which made it easier to attract attention.

Kong Tianxu casually tossed the lone bamboo shoot onto the exposed soil, its deep, purplish-gold light shimmering between his fingers.

Suddenly, like thunder erupting or bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, the deep purple light collapsed and disappeared.

A glimmer of cyan-gold light appeared, and then Kong Tianxu casually scattered it out, as if he were scattering a handful of seeds of hope for life.

A miracle happened.

A shower of bluish-gold light fell, and the solitary bamboo shoot grew strong, its body swaying gently, its bamboo strips moving rhythmically in the wind.

In a short period of time, it had transformed from an ordinary bamboo shoot that was not yet a soul beast into a bamboo stalk with ten years of cultivation.

Guzhu doesn't look particularly remarkable because it's surrounded by bamboo forests.

Thus, Guzhu was no longer lonely.

"But after the life that perishes, there is still death."

Kong Tianxu muttered to himself.

At the divine mark between his eyebrows, a bluish-purple light was slowly flowing, circling along a mysterious trajectory, completing a full cycle from bluish-purple to purple and then back to bluish-purple.

In his hand, soul power condensed into a seal.

One of Shrek's secret techniques, the Soul Bone of Secret Arts.

……

Xiao Wu suddenly let out a high-pitched shout.

The sound was like a red-hot iron rod, piercing straight into Tang San's mind.

The viscous water gurgled softly, and red and white slowly spread across the lake's surface, the entire scene magnifying in Tang San's eyes.

Chapter 352 Slaughtering Dawn

The excruciating pain seemed to tear Tang San's heart to shreds.

So many, how can Xiao Wu possibly handle it!
