Cheng Gang's heart was already ashen.
The next moment, a majestic, mountain-like surge of Qi and blood power erupted, like invisible shackles, instantly sealing off all of Cheng Gang's spirit power. Cheng Gang couldn't even release his Spirit before feeling a piercing, bone-deep pain in his limbs. His legs and feet were casually snapped as Du Busi's Qi and blood power circulated. "Ah—!"
A shrill scream pierced the night sky. Du Busi, as if he had done something trivial, grabbed Cheng Gang's head and tossed it aside. He then looked at Huo Yuhao: "I'll go deal with the problem over there. I'll leave this place to you for now. Be careful yourself."
"Yes, Master," Huo Yuhao respectfully replied. Du Busi nodded slightly, then his entire body surged with Qi and blood, his surrounding temperature rising. Roaring sounds echoed from within his body, deafening. He had just sensed a power at the same level as his own appear. Perfect, he thought, to see what his current standard was!
With that thought, Du Busi soared into the sky, his scorching Qi and blood leaving a heat trail in the air as he rushed towards the distant, constantly illuminated sky.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze, then lowered his head again, nudged Dai Yueheng with his foot, and chuckled, "Weren't you smiling very happily just now? Why aren't you smiling anymore? Don't you like to smile?"
Dai Yueheng's lips trembled as he looked at Huo Yuhao's cold eyes, and fear began to spread.
On the other side, deep in the dense forest, Tang San was fleeing for his life. The sound of air being torn behind him and the incessant, eerie laughter of the Evil Soul Master clung to him like maggots to a corpse. "Boy, don't run! Just let me eat your heart, and I'll give you a quick death!"
Tang San remained silent, only gritting his teeth and forcefully activating Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, continuously fleeing. However, his heart was filled with frustration and resentment. After his Mysterious Heaven SkillFoundation and numerous other Tang Sect Ultimate Skills were completely crippled, his Meridians were now a chaotic mess. Even though he had somewhat sorted them out himself, forcefully using his legs felt like countless fine needles piercing them. If not for his inability to perfectly execute his many Tang Sect Ultimate Skills, how could he be so miserably chased by a mere Spirit Saint!
Damn it... it's all the main body's fault!
The resentment in Tang San's heart surged again. However, before he could complain a few more times in his mind, a long Energy spear condensed with a bloody aura shot from behind him. Tang San was forced to activate Paragon Golden Body again. The transparent shield blocked the attack, but he grunted, his face turning even paler. It was merely a ten-thousand-year-level "Paragon Golden Body," and coupled with his status as only a Spirit King, continuous use ultimately carried a burden. Tang San's eyes darkened; he was now somewhat missing Xiao Wu...
…'s spirit rings and Spirit Bones.
The moment he had a Divided Soul, another blood spear was already before his eyes. Tang San was forced to turn around, and the massive Clear Sky Hammer was swung out fiercely, attempting to meet the blood spear head-on. "Clang!"
The blood spear was deflected, but the Evil Soul Master had seized the opportunity to close in, his gaunt hand, carrying a Blood Wind (stench of blood), directly aiming for Tang San's heart. A ruthless glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. He abruptly detonated a spirit ring, injecting a violent surge of Energy into the Clear Sky Hammer, and met the attack head-on!
"Boom!"
The Energy from the detonated spirit ring fiercely clashed with the Evil Soul Master's spirit power. Tang San only felt a sinister and malicious force invading his Meridians through his arm. His throat felt sweet, and he could only struggle to hold on. However, the next moment... "Crack..."
With a crisp sound, the next moment, a hair-thin crack appeared on the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. His Spirit shattered. In an instant, the backlash from the shattered Spirit swept through his entire body. Tang San could no longer hold on. He was sent flying by the immense force, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood, completely losing the ability to resist. The Evil Soul Master walked forward with a sinister laugh, mercilessly stepping on Tang San's face with one foot, grinding it, enjoying the sensation of his sole rubbing against flesh. "Hehehehe, run! Weren't you so good at running? Why aren't you running now?!"
As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his withered claw suddenly grabbed one of Tang San's arms and pulled hard!
"Ugh ah—!"
The excruciating pain caused Tang San to let out a bloodcurdling scream. His entire arm was forcibly torn off, blood gushing like a spring. The Evil Soul Master raised Tang San's arm, devouring the dripping blood, his expression wild and intoxicated. "So, so, so, so invigorating! Your heart, this Venerable One will have it!"
The Evil Soul Master's Spirit was the Heart Devouring Spider, specializing in consuming hearts to improve cultivation. The moment he saw Tang San, he felt the abundant life force within him. An inexplicable intuition told him that Tang San's heart would be a great tonic and not to be missed!
As for the so-called mission, it was naturally irrelevant; he absolutely had to eat the heart!
He raised his hand, fingers like hooks, preparing to directly snatch Tang San's heart. However, the next moment, a powerful pressure suddenly descended. A white light, like divine punishment, fell from the dark sky, precisely striking the Evil Soul Master. The Evil Soul Master couldn't even scream as his head was pierced from top to bottom, and his corpse fell to the side. A Titled Douluo figure, dressed in the white uniform of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, appeared. He glanced at Tang San, who was severely wounded and dying on the ground, frowned slightly, and quickly stepped forward, taking out a green potion exuding a rich life essence. He poured it down Tang San's throat. As the potion entered, Tang San felt a warm current rapidly spread through his limbs and bones. The bleeding from his severed arm temporarily stopped, and his life force, which had been like a flickering candle in the wind, stabilized at a visible speed. "I am an Advanced Deacon of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, ordered to provide support. This potion can keep you alive temporarily. A rescue team will arrive later based on the coordinates I leave. Wait here; do not move around."
The Titled Douluo spoke very quickly. After finishing, he set up a temporary protective shield around Tang San, then his figure flickered and he rushed towards the main battlefield direction again; higher-tier combat power was more needed there.
After a long while, Tang San painstakingly propped himself up. Phantom pain still emanated from his severed arm. Recalling the humiliation and despair he had just experienced, his resentment towards the main body grew wildly in his heart like a poisonous weed. It was all the main body's fault! Everything was because of the main body!
Tang San gasped for breath, but his gaze inadvertently swept over the Evil Soul Master's corpse. He suddenly noticed a faint, shimmering light. Tang San paused, then realized something. Enduring the intense pain, he crawled over, fumbled around a bit, and pulled out a bone that was dark red all over and exuded strong Energy fluctuations!
It was a Spirit Bone!
Tang San's heart leaped. The immense surprise temporarily diluted the pain and resentment. He looked left and right, and seeing no one around, he immediately grabbed the Spirit Bone at the fastest speed, stuffed it into his storage spirit tool. Immediately after, he fumbled around the Evil Soul Master's body a bit more and found two more storage spirit tools. Without hesitation, Tang San again put them into his pocket, feeling a slight relief in his heart; it wasn't a complete loss after all.
Tang San murmured in his heart, leaning against a nearby tree trunk, carefully examining his gains. However, after only a moment, Tang San's expression changed. He took out a seemingly new book, titled "Blood Devouring Method."
