Rescue them and retreat!
First, he slashed down with his right hand, severing Jiraiya's sacrifice to the Death God, then took the instantly unconscious man and left.
Of course, that was far from easy.
Only the Sage of Six Paths could have done it. If it had been anyone else, merely seeing the Death God would have been a problem, let alone interrupting the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
For Tang Ping, the good news was that he only needed to deal with the Death God, drastically lowering the difficulty of capturing it.
The bad news was that after choosing the Death God, he naturally could not pursue Naruto and Jiraiya.
After hesitating slightly, Tang Ping made his decision.
He wanted the Death God!
If he missed this opportunity, he might not get another chance to hunt it in the future.
As for Jiraiya and Naruto, there would be plenty of chances later.
Especially Naruto. With the Sage of Six Paths watching over him, he was simply impossible to kill. Even if he truly died, he would one hundred percent be revived.
There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Jiraiya as well.

As long as his head took that blow, the unconscious Jiraiya would never wake up again.
If it had been Naruto, this sneak attack definitely would not have gone wrong.
But right now, it was the consciousness of the Sage of Six Paths.
