Chapter 364: Tang San Dies (Extra Large Chapter, Two in One)
In the God Realm, within the Asura God's Temple, the Asura God and the Sea God were currently observing the situation on the Douluo Continent through a light screen.
Normally, one day in the God Realm is one year on the Douluo Continent. The ups and downs of a year on the Douluo Continent were merely an instant for the gods in the God Realm.
The Sea God looked extremely astonished at this moment, "Asura, this inheritor of yours is incredible. This Rakshasa God had already reached such a level of strength, yet was easily defeated by Yang Xiong. Even though Yang Xiong hasn't reached level one hundred yet, his strength wouldn't be at the bottom even in the God Realm."
The Asura God replied, "In terms of strength, after this Rakshasa God absorbed Bibi Dong's divine power and coupled with that so-called God-Slaying Array, he was already extremely close to a second-class god, far surpassing the level one hundred Qian Renxue. This can be considered the Rakshasa God's backup plan. Unfortunately, Yang Xiong is even stronger than him."
"Although Yang Xiong hasn't become a god, his physical constitution reached the realm of gods long ago. Especially after he received the Thunder God inheritance, his physical constitution underwent another metamorphosis, already surpassing ordinary gods."
"If we say Bibi Dong was a level one hundred true god without a god position, then Yang Xiong is precisely the opposite. Yang Xiong already possesses a god position and a divine body, but unfortunately, he hasn't reached level one hundred. But exactly because of this, Yang Xiong's physical constitution far exceeds soul masters of the same level."
A look of confusion appeared on the Sea God's face, "Asura God, according to your words, could it be that all of this is the calculation of the previous Rakshasa God?"
The usually stern Asura God suddenly revealed a smile, "The Rakshasa God and I have fought for a lifetime. Out of consideration for Evil's face and the rules of the God Realm, I didn't act against her. But the Rakshasa God is clearly very unwilling to accept that her status and strength are far beneath mine, which is why she schemed against my inheritor several times."
"Whether it's Bibi Dong or Tang San, it should all be the Rakshasa God's calculations. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Bibi Dong managed to master the God-Slaying Array? Not to mention, Tang San and Bibi Dong becoming gods was actually one after the other. It was clearly to let all of Bibi Dong's strength pave the way for Tang San."
"Furthermore, the Rakshasa God must have grasped Tang San's character long ago. Especially after Tang San became the new Rakshasa God, his heart became twisted and evil, and his negative thoughts expanded drastically. That's why he sneak-attacked Yang Xiong, and why he revealed such massive ambition. This is nothing more than Tang San's own nature."
The Sea God nodded in understanding, "It feels like the Douluo world is getting more and more chaotic. Fortunately, given Yang Xiong's strength, he should be able to kill Tang San. Killing a god with a mortal body... even I didn't dare to imagine such a thing back then."
The Asura God suddenly smiled, "Things aren't that simple. Evil has taken a liking to Tang San, he probably won't let Tang San die so easily. Besides, don't you find it a bit strange to let Tang San inherit the Rakshasa God position?"
The Sea God said, "What's strange about that? Didn't Tang San pass the nine trials as well?"
The Asura God shook his head, "Tang San has a special bloodline; he possesses half soul beast blood. In a sense, it concerns the fate of the soul beast clan, and he has a natural affinity for the soul beast clan."
"The Rakshasa God passing the god position to Tang San was actually Evil's calculation from beginning to end. Otherwise, having undergone so many trials, how could Bibi Dong end up with such a tragic outcome?"
The Sea God was puzzled, "Asura, what do you mean by that?"
The Asura God said helplessly, "Actually, according to the plan of our five great God Kings, Tang San was destined to become a god. If it wasn't the Rakshasa God position, it would be yours and mine. When the time came, given Tang San's character and ambition, he could definitely scheme against the soul beast clan, and could even bring unprecedented help to the God Realm. After all, the God Realm isn't as stable as you see it."
The Sea God: ...
On Jialing Pass, after the great battle between Yang Xiong and Tang San, the current Tang San looked exceptionally miserable. Because he detonated a full nine soul rings, although that one strike of the Great Sumeru Hammer reached the pinnacle of strength, it ultimately had some backlash right now. Moreover, having just taken a strike from Yang Xiong, he was already severely injured.
A hint of disdain appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes, "Tang San, you've lost. You can die in peace now."
As Yang Xiong's words fell, a massive palm print descended from the sky, seemingly wanting to crush Tang San to pieces.
Even if Tang San used all his strength, whether with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe or the Clear Sky Hammer, they were completely unable to block Yang Xiong's attack.
Right at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared beside Tang San. It was precisely the people from the Clear Sky Clan, along with Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and others. By the looks of it, they wanted to protect Tang San with all their might. Yu Xiaogang, in particular, even though he looked like an ordinary, decrepit old man, still arrived beside Tang San led by Flender.
"Courting death!"
Yang Xiong merely gave a cold snort. A terrifying pressure directly pressed down upon the crowd. Even the strongest Tang Xiao felt all the soul power in his body completely suppressed.
Tang Xiao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and shouted loudly, "Yang Xiong, you've already heavily injured Little San and vented your anger. There's nothing we can't discuss."
Yang Xiong smiled, "This is getting interesting. Tang San wanted to kill me. Since he wanted to kill me, no one has the right to stop me from killing him. Besides, the mere Clear Sky Clan is not even in my eyes. Since you want to die, then I will send you to be buried with him."
Tang Xiao said, "Yang Xiong, the Clear Sky Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan have always been allies. The Clear Sky Clan has also protected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Otherwise, how could an auxiliary sect like yours survive for ten thousand years?"
"Ning Fengzhi, are you going to completely disregard the past affection between our two major sects and insist on exterminating us?"
In the distance, Ning Fengzhi seemed a bit conflicted at this moment. Just as Tang Xiao said, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was ultimately an auxiliary sect. No matter what enemies they faced, they rarely tore all face, especially with the Clear Sky Clan, with whom they had a close relationship. Otherwise, they wouldn't have continued to secretly provide various support during the Clear Sky Clan's many years of seclusion.
Not to mention, back when the Clear Sky Clan intimidated the world, no matter how domineering the sect was, they had never attacked the upper three sects.
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Yang Xiong had already spoken first.
"I don't care about the upper three sects or whatever else. Anyone who dares to attack me, I must make them pay a tragic price. Tang Xiao, if you insist on making an enemy of me, the consequences are not something your Clear Sky Clan can bear. When the time comes, your Clear Sky Clan will have no need to exist."
Seeing Yang Xiong's demeanor, Tang Xiao seemed to realize that today's situation was a bit hard to resolve. After all, it was Tang San who sneak-attacked Yang Xiong first. And given Yang Xiong's character, he might just wipe out the entire Clear Sky Clan.
But after Tang Xiao looked at Tang San, his heart was incredibly conflicted. After all, Tang San was the only son of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and the junior he valued the most, one could even say he was the future of the Clear Sky Clan.
"Yang Xiong, my Clear Sky Clan is willing to pay any price, as long as you let Little San off."
The corners of Yang Xiong's mouth shifted, "Tang Xiao, ask yourself: if someone sneak-attacked you, would you easily let them off? What makes you think the Clear Sky Clan has anything worthy enough for me to spare such a hidden danger, to spare an enemy who might sneak attack me at any time?"
Tang Xiao instantly felt boundless pressure coming from his body. Even the Clear Sky Hammer on his body seemed completely suppressed.
Meanwhile, Tang San spat blood, merely relying on Xiao Wu for support.
"Xiao Wu, you hurry and leave. Don't worry about me. Even if I die, I won't beg Yang Xiong for mercy."
Xiao Wu's face was covered in tears, and she also looked unusually terrified, "Yang Xiong, we were classmates after all. We have some friendship between us. Why must you do this?"
"Don't forget, Da Ming and Er Ming helped you back then. Must you really harm my only relative?"
Yang Xiong sneered, "Xiao Wu, have you misunderstood something? Although I asked them for help back then, the ones being dealt with were your enemies. This was something you should have done yourself, yet you turned it around and made me owe you a favor. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"Furthermore, how many times have I helped you over these years? If it weren't for me, you would have probably died long ago, and even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python would have died long ago. Do you still have the right to say such things now?"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, "But no matter what, Third Brother only wanted to prove himself from start to finish. Can't you even tolerate him?"
"Xiao Wu, is it that I can't tolerate Tang San, or is it that Tang San can't tolerate me? I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding past affection. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you along with him."
Yang Xiong's eyes were incredibly fierce right now, completely lacking his usual casual demeanor. It was as if no one could stop him anymore.
Xiao Wu looked towards Ning Rongrong somewhat pleadingly, but before Ning Rongrong could speak, Yang Xiong had already turned to glare at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to understand Yang Xiong's meaning, quickly grabbing Ning Rongrong, who wanted to step forward to speak.
Relatively speaking, Ning Rongrong was quite kind-hearted and cared more about the bonds between classmates. She had an especially good relationship with Xiao Wu, making her act somewhat emotionally.
Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, understood the significance of today's events more clearly. If Yang Xiong was truly sneak-attacked by Tang San, he feared that given Tang San's character, he would absolutely not let off the Body Sect created by Yang Xiong. His methods would probably be even more ruthless.
Ning Rongrong finally spoke, "Little Xiongzi, don't hurt Xiao Wu."
Yang Xiong gave a slight nod, "Xiao Wu, you should leave quickly. Otherwise, I will truly disregard past affection and kill you."
Xiao Wu's face was full of anger, "Da Ming and Er Ming are both dead! Only Little San can revive Da Ming and Er Ming! Besides, Little San is my only relative. If you want to hurt Little San, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
Yang Xiong directly let out a wild laugh, "Hahaha! Whether it's you or Tang San, why must you say such things? This world has always respected strength. An enemy won't care about your dead body, they will only crush you like an ant. Since you want to die, don't blame me."
Immediately after, Yang Xiong looked at Yu Xiaogang and Flender beside him, "What, do you two also want to wade into this muddy water?"
Even though Yu Xiaogang had become a cripple right now, he stood firmly beside Tang San.
"Yang Xiong, I know you are very angry, but Tang San is my only disciple. If you want to kill him, then kill me first. I only hope you spare Tang San once."
Yang Xiong completely ignored Yu Xiaogang, turning to Flender instead, "Dean Flender, do you also want to interfere in this matter?"
Compared to the others, Flender appeared quite calm, "Yang Xiong, you and Little San are both former students of our Shrek Academy, and the most outstanding students in Shrek's history. It's normal for students to fight, but I don't wish for you to truly fight to the death. Whoever dies, I will be very sad, and I will stand with the losing side."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head, "Dean Flender, you should be very clear about the current situation. Tang San and I are already locked in a blood feud. If you insist on intervening, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Yang Xiong spent a few years at Shrek Academy back then. During those years, he had the best relationship with Zhao Wuji, but the person he truly admired the most was actually Flender.
Flender could be considered a merchant, and also a profiteer, but relatively speaking, he was indeed a good dean and a good teacher. At the very least, he was dedicated and responsible in teaching his students, and would truly risk his life to help at critical moments.
Flender sighed, "Why must you do this? Both you and Tang San have reached unprecedented heights for soul masters and can both become gods. Can't you coexist peacefully? Can't you go to the God Realm together? At least you might be able to look after each other."
"I truly do not wish for you to slaughter each other. No matter who loses, it puts me in a very difficult position."
Yang Xiong didn't care anymore. Soul power flashed on his body. A blood-red heaven-supporting giant hand suddenly appeared in the sky. The hand crackled with blood-red lightning, as if wanting to kill everyone in one fell swoop.
The crowd was instantly shocked. Even Ning Fengzhi in the distance revealed a look of reluctance in his eyes. If Yang Xiong truly unleashed this move, he feared not only would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Clear Sky Clan become mortal enemies, but given Yang Xiong's character, not a single person from the Clear Sky Clan present would escape.
Yang Xiong's move looked earth-shattering, and it could lock onto enemies with powerful pressure. However, the one truly locked onto was only Tang San. Although the others felt immense pressure, they could still escape relying on their own strength.
Tang San's eyes were full of hatred, but they also displayed a hint of worry, "Xiao Wu, Eldest Uncle, Teacher, you guys leave quickly! Yang Xiong only wants to deal with me alone. You still have a chance."
Immediately after, Tang San continued to force his body, summoning the Clear Sky Hammer and the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, looking ready to fight to the death.
Yang Xiong just felt Tang San was somewhat mad. Perhaps the Rakshasa God position amplified Tang San's own evil attributes. After all, although the original Tang San was exasperating, at least in front of others he was open and upright, not completely treacherous like he was now.
Yang Xiong struck down. Even if Tang San and Tang Xiao used all their strength, they could not block Yang Xiong's attack.
Right at this moment, a black aura suddenly appeared in the sky. The aura charged directly towards Yang Xiong's large hand. No matter how formidable Yang Xiong's strength was, his attack was directly dissipated at this moment.
Yang Xiong glanced at the sky, revealing a look of confusion, "Senior Evil God King, I didn't expect a dignified God King of the God Realm like you would actually interfere in the affairs of the Douluo Planet."
A massive black figure suddenly appeared in the sky. This figure looked extremely tall and extremely ethereal, as if its strength had long surpassed limits.
The black figure directly transformed into a giant face. This face seemed to possess no emotional color, looking as if it was filled with disdain for life.
"Yang Xiong, although you are the inheritor of the Asura God, you are, unfortunately, not a god yet. Tang San has already become a god now and is already my subordinate, the Rakshasa God. I cannot let you kill him easily."
Yang Xiong looked sternly at the Evil God King, "Evil God King, if I remember correctly, the God Realm should not interfere with the affairs of the Douluo World. Could it be that Lord Evil God King wants to violate the rules of the God Realm?"
The Evil God King said, "This matter concerns the inheritance of my subordinate, the Rakshasa God, and it also concerns some of the God Realm's plans. Therefore, you cannot kill Tang San right now."
Yang Xiong snorted coldly, "This is rather interesting. Whether it was when Tang San sneak-attacked me, or when the three gods besieged me, how come I didn't see anyone from the God Realm coming to protect me? Now that I've won, and I want to kill my enemy, can I still accept this differential treatment?"
"Furthermore, as a God Realm Enforcer, Evil God King, by doing this, aren't you taking the lead in violating the God Realm's rules? Where does this place the status of the God Realm's enforcers?"
A trace of anger seemed to appear in the originally calm eyes of the Evil God King, "Bold! Yang Xiong, although your strength is not bad, you are, unfortunately, merely the inheritor of the Asura God. Even the Asura God doesn't have the right to stop me from disciplining my subordinate."
Yang Xiong's expression was stern, and his entire person appeared incomparably defiant, "Evil God King, you are, for better or worse, a supreme existence. Why come and interfere with this trivial matter in my Douluo world? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
The Evil God King stated, "Yang Xiong, you must understand, the rules of this world are all formulated by the strong. The current you is still too weak compared to me. The weak do not have the right to say anything."
Yang Xiong did not yield at all, "So what? The rules have already been set. Could it be that Evil God King, you want to violate them? Do you want to bypass the rules to do your own things?"
"Besides, I haven't become a god yet; I am merely a soul master of the Douluo world. You don't need to worry about these matters, Evil God King."
After speaking, Yang Xiong's hand shifted. Instantly, a completely blood-red hammer appeared. The hammer was covered in blood-red lightning. This was the Thunder God's Hammer.
As soon as the Thunder God's Hammer appeared, the heaven and earth of the entire Douluo world seemed to undergo a change in an instant, and the rules of the entire world seemed to tremble.
The Evil God King's face changed at this moment. He didn't expect Yang Xiong to actually dare to reject his decision to his face, and even dare to blatantly attack. He was simply too arrogant.
If Yang Xiong dared to treat people like this now, if he truly became stronger in the future, the entire God Realm would probably be turned upside down by him.
Just as the Evil God King wanted to continue taking action, a blood-red figure appeared again in the sky. This figure was very similar to Yang Xiong's martial soul; it was exactly the Asura God.
"Evil, you have already violated the God Realm's rules. Do you really think the three law enforcers of our God Realm are just for show?"
The Evil God King replied, "Asura, you actually want to interfere with my actions. This Tang San was decided jointly by our God Realm Committee back then. He cannot die easily, at least not here."
The Asura God said, "Evil, we considered too much in the past. Perhaps sometimes we should be a bit more straightforward and brutal. Moreover, do not forget that we are here to maintain the God Realm's rules. Any god who violates the rules will face my punishment."
Seeing the Asura God appear, Yang Xiong completely ignored the Evil God King. Instead, gripping the Thunder God's Hammer, he struck with all his might. In that instant, heaven and earth literally fractured. The rules of the Douluo world seemed to be destroyed, and the entire space seemed to suffer an impact.
Tang San let out a long howl to the sky. This time he actually summoned the dark blue silver grass. The nine soul rings on the dark blue silver grass exploded simultaneously. The entire dark blue silver grass transformed into golden threads, directly forming a sky-covering web that aggressively pounced towards Yang Xiong.
Moreover, all of Tang San's remaining soul power had been injected into the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. The Rakshasa Demon Scythe became the core of all the devouring golden threads, making the devouring golden threads not only possess an incredibly terrifying devouring ability but also an ultimate evil attribute. The surrounding environment seemed completely affected. All energy was devoured by the web formed by the devouring golden threads; even the energy in the air was devoured clean.
This was Tang San's desperate strike, and also Tang San's final stubbornness.
"Yang Xiong, the Evil God King has already appeared, yet you still dare to continue attacking! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
But Yang Xiong completely disregarded everything. The Thunder God's Hammer possessed ultimate destructive power, representing the rules and order in this world. Whether against ordinary soul masters or gods, it had absolute suppression.
The blood-red giant hammer slammed down. Tang San's devouring golden threads instantly turned to ash, and the Rakshasa Demon Scythe was directly blasted away.
Even if Tang San was full of unwillingness, even if Tang San's exhaustion had reached its limit at this moment, he ultimately could not contend with Yang Xiong.
Under Yang Xiong's full-force strike, the Thunder God's Hammer heavily struck Tang San. No matter how formidable Tang San's body was, or how diverse his methods were, he directly suffered the attacks of countless lightning bolts at this moment, and also seemingly suffered the rejection of the entire world's rules.
Tang San lost all consciousness completely. He was directly smashed into ash by the Thunder God's Hammer and the rule power upon it. Even the Rakshasa Demon Scythe revealed a crack.
When the sky returned to calm again, only a black scythe that seemed to have suffered heavy damage remained. Even Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang, who were originally beside Tang San, were completely dumbfounded.
Even though Tang San had become a god, no matter how powerful he was, he was directly blasted into ash by Yang Xiong's strike. The new Rakshasa God had directly fallen on the Douluo Continent.
