Tang San: You Have Chosen Death!

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!"

Tang San held Xiao Wu, whose face had turned black as if she had been poisoned, and called out to her anxiously several times. He hurriedly sent the inner force of the Mysterious Heaven Skill into her body, but Xiao Wu showed no reaction at all.

Zhu Zhuqing did not press the attack again. Standing at a distance, she saw Tang San's anxiety and seemed moved by their bond. She could not help but say, "She's fine. She was only affected by the power attached to my claws. Once the match is over, I'll help her dispel it."

After hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Tang San slowly raised his head as he held the soft, cotton-like Xiao Wu in his arms. There was no emotion in his black eyes, making it impossible for anyone to see what he was thinking.

He slowly turned around with Xiao Wu in his arms, walked to the edge of the arena, and set her down to keep her from being caught up in the battle to come. Then he turned back. When he looked at Zhu Zhuqing again, intense killing intent had already risen from the depths of his eyes!

In Tang San's eyes, this had merely been an ordinary sparring match, yet she had dared to use such vicious means to hurt Xiao Wu. This woman before him had chosen death!

The massive screen of Future Video even thoughtfully gave a close-up of Tang San's gaze, allowing everyone to clearly see the naked killing intent in his eyes!

Whoa! What a vicious look!

Was this Tang San going to kill that girl named Zhu Zhuqing?

Was that really necessary? Soul skills had no eyes on a Soul Battle Arena. Accidental injuries were unavoidable sometimes, weren't they?

And when you entered a Soul Battle, hadn't you already prepared yourself to get hurt? Why was this Tang San so angry? He even developed killing intent toward a girl.

This Tang San's temperament really was...

Comments flew across the screen as people discussed it heatedly.

In reality.

When Tang San saw Xiao Wu injured and collapsing in his arms in the video, even knowing that it was something from the future, killing intent still inevitably surfaced in his heart!

Just like his future self, he felt that the woman named Zhu Zhuqing had earned her death! Since she had dared to hurt Xiao Wu, she deserved to die by his hand.

As for the fact that getting injured was a risk one accepted upon stepping onto the Soul Battle Arena, that was not within Tang San's consideration. All he remembered was his vow to protect Xiao Wu forever. Anyone who hurt Xiao Wu deserved to die!

In the video.

Tang San stood with his feet neither square nor in a bow stance, his power slowly gathering throughout his body. Xiao Wu's injury and unconsciousness had greatly provoked his emotions, filling him with guilt. As an older brother who had failed to protect his little sister, if he could not seek justice for her, what right did he have to accept the title of brother?

Tang San's hands gradually turned white, lustrous as jade. A faint current of air seemed to flow between his fingers. His head was slightly lowered, preventing his opponent from seeing that his eyes had completely turned purple.

Zhu Zhuqing clearly sensed a slight change in Tang San's aura. His Soul Power had obviously not increased, yet for some reason, she instinctively felt a hint of danger.

"Watch out!"

Tang San suddenly snapped his head up, hypocritically warning his opponent at the same time. Then his hands, which had hung at his sides, drifted up beside his waist.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...!

Ten flashes of cold light burst from Tang San's lightly moving fingers, shooting toward Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, shoulders, throat, heart, knees, groin, and lower abdomen.

Not one of the ten flashes targeted the same spot, and every single target was vital.

Most importantly, the attacks sealed off every direction in which she could dodge. Unless she possessed a teleportation soul skill like that girl Xiao Wu from earlier, she could only take them head-on.

The piercing sound of air splitting made Zhu Zhuqing's catlike eyes narrow. This was the first time she had encountered an attack that was not a soul skill. Faced with the sudden ten flashes of cold light that had precisely sealed off all her escape routes, Zhu Zhuqing reacted swiftly. The third soul ring around her body shone brilliantly!

Third Soul Skill: Evil God Guardian!

A layer of pitch-black barrier abruptly enveloped Zhu Zhuqing's body. This was a purely defensive skill, with absurdly high defensive power!

After firing the ten flashes of cold light, Tang San did not pause in the slightest. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he rapidly retreated.

Ten explosions rang out almost at once. All ten flashes of cold light struck the black barrier, but that seemingly thin screen effortlessly blocked all those Hidden Weapons.

In reality.

Tang San watched the scene in the video with secret shock. The ten weapons his future self had fired were Bone Penetrating Nails. Among small Hidden Weapons, Bone Penetrating Nails were relatively heavy. Combined with the force of his inner power and their penetrating properties, they had still failed to inflict even the slightest injury on Zhu Zhuqing. It was clear just how powerful that barrier's defense was.

However, he knew that his methods did not end there, so he was not in a hurry. He simply continued watching patiently.

In the video.

Tang San's hands fluttered before him like butterflies among flowers, sometimes flicking, sometimes snapping. One flash of cold light after another shot continuously from his hands, each aimed at a vital point on Zhu Zhuqing's body. He believed that the barrier must have weaker points; it could not possibly be flawless.

Zhu Zhuqing watched Tang San coldly without dodging or evading, simply standing where she was. She was clearly extremely confident in her own defense!

Tang San's Hidden Weapons were not only accurate, but also struck many different locations simultaneously, making them exceedingly difficult to evade. Willow Leaf Blades, Locust Stones, Coin Darts, Bone Penetrating Nails—every kind of Hidden Weapon blossomed through Tang San's Myriad Flower Rain technique. Some flew straight, some at angles, and some circled around to strike from behind, but all had only one final target: Zhu Zhuqing's body.

Maintaining the dark barrier, Zhu Zhuqing could clearly feel the extraordinary penetrating power of these Hidden Weapons. However, they were still far from enough to break her Evil God Guardian.

If those were all the methods her opponent had, then this battle could end now.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing believed that her opponent had nothing else to offer, Tang San saw that his Hidden Weapons could not break through her defense and suddenly pulled an inconspicuous black box about a foot long from his chest.

In reality.

Tang San's eyes lit up when he saw the black box. He said in surprise, "The Godly Zhuge Crossbow! Has my future self already made this Hidden Weapon?"

The materials required to forge the Godly Zhuge Crossbow were far from simple, which was why the current Tang San was still unable to make it. Yet upon seeing his future self take out this Hidden Weapon, he recognized it at once.

"There's no suspense left in this battle!"

Tang San was extremely confident. The Godly Zhuge Crossbow was immensely destructive and even specialized in breaking through Soul Power defenses. Unless the defense was exceptionally strong, it could kill someone instantly!

He did not believe that a mere Soul Elder could block it.

In the video.

Tang San raised the black box in his hand. The crossbow bolts inside had long been loaded in advance and could be fired at any moment.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing circulated the Soul Power within her body and secretly increased the defense of Evil God Guardian to its maximum! Though she was confident in her defense, she would not abandon caution.

The next moment.

A strange sound rang out, like the sharp clanging of metal colliding, accompanied by a hum as though someone had stirred up a hornet's nest.

Bzzzz!!!

Sixteen crossbow bolts tore through the air!
