The Fool Died
Tang San, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Shui Bing'er launched a fierce attack on Lor Diarra.
Tang San and Dugu Yan unleashed their full amplification Soul Skills, raising their morale to its peak.
Lor Diarra fought four opponents alone.
The attacks from Tang San and his group were too dense.
Mental attacks, physical attacks, poison attacks, hard and soft crowd control—the various methods are impossible to defend against, and there's also a healer providing recovery and treatment from the rear.
The battle lasted only a few minutes.
Lor Diarra's Soul Power was rapidly depleting, and he gradually became exhausted, sustaining multiple injuries.
But reinforcements had not arrived, and he could not escape.
Tang San dared not delay; he seized the opportunity presented by Shui Bing'er's Fifth Soul Skill, which greatly reduced the opponent's speed.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Break Formula.
The Clear Sky Hammer, with its spiraling force, slammed into Lor Diarra's chest.
The hammerhead struck the sternum with a dull thud.
"Snap!"
The sound of the ribs breaking was clearly audible.
Lor Diarra's body stiffened abruptly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Dugu Yan's Eight Spider Lances pierced his back simultaneously, the eight blood-red Spider Spears piercing through his robes.
The purplish-black toxin was injected into his body and spread throughout his body along his blood vessels.
Lor Diarra felt her body going numb, her limbs losing strength, and her consciousness beginning to blur.
He wanted to resist, but his Soul Power was already depleted.
Lor Diarra knelt on the ground, panting heavily, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with resentment and despair.
Tang San raised his Clear Sky Hammer high and smashed it down without hesitation.
"Bang."
Lor Diarra's head tilted to one side, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The light in his pupils dimmed rapidly, and his body slumped to the ground, motionless.
The sand sculpture is dead.
The canyon fell silent for a moment.
Dugu Yan retrieved her Eight Spider Lances, panting, and walked to Tang San's side, then asked, "Third Brother, they've already run far away, should we still chase after them?"
Tang San glanced at the direction Zhang San and his companions had fled, feeling regretful that he had almost killed Zhang San.
However, reinforcements from the Spirit Hall could arrive at any time, and there might even be Titled Douluos among them.
If they give chase and are intercepted by reinforcements from the Spirit Hall halfway there, they might be killed instead.
Moreover, their side had suffered three major battles in a short period of time, against the Man Faced Demon Spider, Zhang San's team, and Lor Diarra, and their condition was not good.
Safety is the most important thing; there should be other opportunities in the future.
Tang San first comforted himself, suppressing his urge to continue the pursuit.
He sheathed the Clear Sky Hammer, shook his head, and calmly said, "The Spirit Hall may still have Titled Douluo- level individuals nearby; we cannot pursue them any further."
Dugu Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
"We must get out of here quickly." Tang San's gaze swept over his surroundings.
"Go north; that's the opposite direction from the Spirit Hall."
Tang San immediately activated his Blue Silver Domain, trying his best to conceal the auras of the others.
Without hesitation, the five figures moved swiftly and immediately ran north.
Less than ten minutes after Tang San and his companions disappeared, a golden streak of light streaked across the southern sky and plummeted into the canyon at an astonishing speed.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's figure appeared from the golden light, his bright red brocade robe particularly eye-catching.
His gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the stiff corpse on the ground.
Lor Diarra lay in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, his pupils dilated, his life force long gone, he was beyond dead.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's lips twitched, and the anger in his eyes almost overflowed.
At this moment, several men in black returned with Zhang San and his companions.
Chrysanthemum Douluo turned his gaze to the pale-faced Zhang San and his three companions standing to the side and asked, "Who did this?"
Xie Yue's Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke with difficulty, "Tang San... the five of them... killed Lor Diarra."
Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his phoenix eyes.
He didn't ask any more questions, and turned around. "Someone come here."
A man in black bowed and accepted the order.
"Pass down the order to immediately seal off the entire Death Canyon," Chrysanthemum Douluo commanded coldly.
He paused, then continued, "Also, send someone back to report to His Holiness the Pope that Tang San has appeared in Death Canyon and that Lor Diarra has been killed by him. Request that he immediately send people to assist in the pursuit."
"Yes!" the shadowy figures responded in unison, their figures blurring as they ran outside.
Chrysanthemum Douluo turned around, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Zhang San and the other three.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he said calmly, "Your training ends here. I'll take you to a safe place outside the valley first, and then arrange for someone to send you back to Spirit City."
After saying that, Chrysanthemum Douluo headed south, with Zhang San and the other three following behind Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Several men in black quickly gathered up Lor Diarra's body and followed.
Five days later, at the northern exit of Death Canyon, an inconspicuous gray figure quietly slipped out from a crevice in the rock wall.
Tang San removed the disguise of the Blue Silver Domain, and the five figures emerged from what appeared to be an ordinary thicket of bushes.
The camouflage of the Blue Silver Domain, combined with the Simulation of the Dreamlike Eyes, allows for group camouflage within a ten-meter radius, Simulation the colors and atmosphere of the surrounding environment to perfectly blend the five individuals into the background.
It was precisely because of this ability that they were able to evade multiple patrol teams from the Spirit Hall over the past few days and reach the edge of the canyon undetected.
Once outside Death Canyon, the putrid, poisonous stench in the air finally dissipated.
The five people stood on a barren piece of land outside the canyon exit.
"Finally out." Xiao Wu let out a long sigh of relief.
Tang San found a shady rock wall, and the five of them sat down to rest.
He unfolded the map and laid it on the ground.
On the map, Death Canyon is located north of the Great Wasteland Desert.
The Great Wasteland Desert occupies a large area of territory in the northeastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, covering almost half of the Toks Province.
"Although we have temporarily shaken off our pursuers, the Spirit Hall's blockade is still expanding outwards."
Tang San stared at the Great Wasteland Desert in the map, lost in thought.
Dugu Yan's gaze also fell on the Great Wasteland Desert. She asked, "Third Brother, do you intend to head into the desert?"
Tang San nodded, pointing to the edge of the desert. "The Great Wasteland Desert is a notoriously barren land on the entire continent. It's nothing but sand and Gobi, and the temperature is extremely low, so even Soul Beasts are rare. Because of this, the Spirit Hall's deployment there is the weakest. Other directions are heavily guarded by the Spirit Hall. Only the north, the Great Wasteland Desert, is a place they don't pay much attention to."
He looked up at the four girls. "My idea is that we first find a secluded spot on the edge of the desert to hide for a while. If the Spirit Hall people catch up, we'll retreat deeper into the desert. Although the desert environment is harsh, we have Storage Soul Tools and enough supplies to last for several months. The Spirit Hall people aren't fully prepared and dare not rashly pursue us into the Great Desert."
Xiao Wu took a sip of water and wiped her mouth. "Third Brother is right! A desert is fine, we've even made it through the Frozen Forest and Death Canyon, what are we afraid of with sand?"
Shui Bing'er nodded, a hint of agreement flashing in her eyes. "I think it's feasible. The desert can completely shake off the Spirit Hall's pursuers."
Ye Lingling said softly, "We need to have plenty of food and water on hand at all times, just in case."
Tang San looked at the four girls' determined eyes, smiled, put away the map, and stood up.
"Then it's settled. We'll continue north and rest when we reach the edge of the desert."
The five of them set off again along the deserted mountain ridge, hurrying northward.
Tang San's Blue Silver Domain remained open, completely concealing their figures, auras, and footsteps.
They travel during the day and don't stop at night.
