Tang San's bargaining chip, that little rabbit?

Tang San had never imagined that one day he would be crippled.

Soul poison had entered his body, his Martial Soul was being corroded, and his Soul Power Level kept falling.

Now both his legs had been crippled too, leaving him without even a chance to escape.

The people of Spirit Hall were truly hateful.

If he had a chance to survive, he would make Spirit Hall pay a terrible price.

Unfortunately, he could only think about it.

Survive?

Bibi Dong had no intention of giving him that chance.

For now, he was nothing more than bait to lure Tang Hao out.

Once Tang Hao showed himself, Tang San's life would come to an end.

As for that old waste Yu Xiaogang?

He was being held in the dungeon for the time being.

Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a useless level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster. Even if he exhausted every means at his disposal, he could never escape.

And Tang San was the person Chu Xuan had named as the one who would destroy Spirit Hall, so he had to be killed now.

Chu Xuan possessed the Wheel of Time and could see the future.

So his words were absolutely credible.

"What's all that noise? Can't you be quiet?"

"Think about why you got caught and why you can't fight back."

"Have you worked hard all these years?"

"Look to yourself for the reasons instead of always blaming others."

Chu Xuan spoke with a smile. Once he was done dealing with Tang San, his new reward would be his.

He would charge straight to level fifty, and when the time came, the God of Destruction could get him a God-Given Soul Ring. Then the system would trigger another choice, and his fifth Soul Ring would likely soar to eighty or ninety thousand years, perhaps even a hundred thousand.

A life with cheats never needed to make sense.

Tang San's screams gradually died down, and he glared viciously at Chu Xuan.

His instincts told him that this bastard was the reason he had ended up in such a miserable state.

They looked to be about the same age, yet his methods were exceptionally ruthless.

He also knew Tang San was a transmigrator, and that he had devoured the soul of Tang Hao's son.

To him, this man was the greatest threat.

"Still glaring? Looks like you don't want those peepers of yours either."

Chu Xuan grinned.

After transmigrating, other people had to give way to the protagonist at every turn.

Even if they wanted to deal with the protagonist, they didn't dare do it openly. They had to scheme and plot, worried that the Heavenly Dao would come after them.

But he wasn't worried.

The power of the Heavenly Dao was a joke before the system.

He was merely acting on the choices the system gave him.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to cause trouble?

Then it could go after the system.

Since the system had dared to produce such choices, it had to guarantee his safety and bear all the karma and the Heavenly Dao's retaliation.

That was why he had never been halfhearted when it came to dealing with Tang San.

As for the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao coming after him?

With the gods backing him up, even a hundred Clear Sky Sects would be no big deal.

"Y-you're vicious!"

Tang San gritted his teeth, sprawled on the ground without even the strength to sit up.

"Am I? Yue Guan, dig his eyeballs out."

Chu Xuan waved a hand, and Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately walked over.

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo approach, Tang San panicked completely.

"Don't, don't dig out my eyes! I'll tell you a secret, a huge secret."

In the end, he was still afraid.

If his eyes were dug out too, his life would truly be over.

With his legs crippled, he might still have a chance to recover someday.

But if his eyes were dug out, he had no idea how he could ever see the light of day again.

Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped and turned to look at Chu Xuan, seemingly asking what he wanted to do.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "What secret? Tell us first."

"Don't bargain with me. You're in no position to do that now."

Hearing this, Tang San could only seethe inwardly.

"A Transformed Soul Beast. I know of one. Kill her, and you can obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone."

"As long as you spare my life, I can tell you where the Transformed Soul Beast is."

Tang San panted heavily.

At a critical moment like this, saving his own life was what mattered most.

He had originally planned to enjoy it himself later, but now he could only give it away.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others were genuinely surprised to hear about a Transformed Soul Beast.

Even Bibi Dong was somewhat moved.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone were indeed priceless treasures to Soul Masters.

They could drive every Soul Master mad.

They hadn't expected the boy Tang San to have a trump card like this.

Chu Xuan, however, couldn't help laughing when he heard him.

Sure enough, he had judged him right.

Tang San was a selfish man.

He put his own interests above everything else.

The people around him?

They were nothing but a pile of bargaining chips.

At a critical moment, they were there to be sold out.

Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo had stopped, Tang San knew he had gambled correctly.

Sure enough, no one could refuse a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

A golden opportunity!

Now he had to think about how to make the most of his bargaining chip.

He couldn't tell them outright.

Once he did, the people of Spirit Hall might kill him on the spot.

It would be perfectly normal for them to go back on their word.

After all, even he could change his mind at any time.

As long as it served his interests!

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone? They certainly are tempting."

Chu Xuan spoke with a smile, his gaze sweeping over Tang San.

So the readers at large hadn't misjudged him.

He could even say something so utterly unconscionable.

No wonder that, whenever the protagonists of many transmigration novels encountered Tang San, most of them wanted to beat him to death.

Only a tiny minority would kneel and lick his boots.

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. He had bet right, he had bet right!

He finally had a chance to survive.

But before he could rejoice, Chu Xuan's next words chilled his heart.

"If you're talking about that little rabbit, then I'm sorry, but that bargaining chip won't work."

Little rabbit?

Tang San's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Wu's true form was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit!

Did that mean Chu Xuan knew Xiao Wu was a Transformed Soul Beast?

This was big trouble!

When had he found out?

Cold sweat poured off Tang San as he panicked like a dog.

It seemed his only bargaining chip was useless too.

Bibi Dong was curious. Chu Xuan seemed to know where the hundred-thousand-year Transformed Soul Beast was.

That was interesting.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked thoughtful. What did the God Child mean?

Did he want to kill the Transformed Soul Beast, or let her go?

Chu Xuan glanced at them and said calmly, "Don't even think about that little rabbit."

Those words undoubtedly made his position clear.

Then Bibi Dong suddenly remembered. A hundred-thousand-year-old little rabbit?

Could she have something to do with that Soft Bone Rabbit in the Star Dou Great Forest all those years ago?

Her thoughts returned to the Star Dou Great Forest of those days.

Her luck had indeed been good.

She had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for her ninth Soul Ring.

There, in its depths, she had encountered a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit with only a sliver of health left.

What she hadn't expected was that the Soft Bone Rabbit would choose to sacrifice herself.

She had only one condition: spare her daughter.

Bibi Dong had agreed and obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Looking at it now, the hundred-thousand-year Transformed Soul Beast Tang San spoke of was probably that little rabbit from back then.

That was quite a surprise.

"God Child, do you know that little rabbit?"

"Yes. Her name is Xiao Wu. She's quite nice."

Chu Xuan said it outright.

With him there, the people of Spirit Hall wouldn't dare lay a hand on Xiao Wu. That was certain.

Bibi Dong understood.

Since he knew her, there was nothing more to say.

Given the God Child's circumstances, he had no need to hunt her down.

After all, how could a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast's Soul Ring compare to a God-Given Soul Ring?

"Little Scumbag, that bargaining chip is useless now, so when is your damned father going to come out?"
