The Path to Death

Wang Sheng's side was the one to gasp this time. Even Xiao Wu was somewhat shocked. Why was her Soul Power so high? Even though she was a Soul Beast and cultivated much faster than human Soul Masters, she was still nearly five levels below her opponent!

They were equally shocked, but Xiao Chen Yu's side reacted differently. Sister Nan Li's Soul Power had risen another level compared to a few days ago. They shared in her glory, their excitement written all over their faces.

Tang San was shocked as well, but he quickly steadied himself. He had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Hidden Weapons. What did he have to fear?

If Ling Feng's movements were nimble and Xiao Chen Yu's attacks were domineering, then Nan Li possessed both qualities—and surpassed them in each.

The two charged at each other simultaneously.

Soul Power flowed into their palms as they clenched their hands into fists. One crimson, one white—they collided with a thunderous bang!

Both retreated a step, but Nan Li did not pause in the slightest. Her body twisted slightly, power surging through her waist and legs. The Crimson Ruby on her wrist shone brilliantly as Soul Power circulated through her forearm, and she threw a second punch.

Tang San did not dare be careless. He gathered the Mysterious Heaven Skill in both palms and slowly pushed them forward before him, intending to receive the blow.

Was it really going to be that easy?

Nan Li curled her lips into a smile. Her right fist, wrapped in scorching airwaves and scattered flames, shot straight toward Tang San.

The instant the fist wind reached him, Tang San realized something was wrong. He hurriedly used Mysterious Jade Hand to block the strike.

Bang!

Nan Li was still smiling.

It had to be said—there was more than a little mockery in that smile.

Tang San staggered back several steps, nearly falling onto the ground. He stomped one foot down to dissipate the force, but both arms at his sides had been numbed by the impact of her power.

Luckily, luckily he had used Mysterious Jade Hand in time. Otherwise, his palms would likely have been blasted into bloody pulp by her explosive airwaves!

Before Tang San could catch his breath, Nan Li's next attack had already arrived before his face.

Nan Li sprinted forward several steps, turned, and gathered force. Her body rose slightly into the air as one leg swept directly toward Tang San's head.

Having experienced her strength, Tang San did not dare take it head-on. He sidestepped to evade, but his hands caught Nan Li's incoming leg. Taking advantage of the momentum, he retreated half a step and prepared to swing her onto the ground.

With no point of leverage in midair, how could Nan Li dodge this?

Yet what Tang San had not expected was that Nan Li did not resist. Instead, she followed the motion and flipped herself directly above him. As the two faced one another vertically, Nan Li suddenly exerted force with the leg Tang San was holding. Her legs clamped around his neck like scissors, and with a twist of her waist and back, she threw Tang San bodily onto the ground!

Tang San's hands had been dragged up to his neck, leaving him unable to exert much strength at all. Fortunately, a six-year-old child's body was light and nimble. Otherwise, his head might have been twisted right off by her!

What a vicious person!

"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!" As Tang San rose, he slapped the ground in passing and released more than ten thick Blue Silver Grass vines, attempting to restrain Nan Li.

The moment Nan Li landed, she leaped backward into a somersault. Without stopping, she performed several more side flips in succession to retreat. But Tang San clearly had no intention of letting his attack miss. He released his First Soul Skill again. "Entanglement."

It still missed!

"Entanglement!" Tang San practically shouted it.

To conserve Soul Power, Tang San had only released more than ten Blue Silver Grass vines in the area where Nan Li had first landed. Seeing his attack miss, Tang San found it somewhat unbelievable, but he quickly activated his Soul Skill again. You could dodge once, but could you dodge every time?

He activated his First Soul Skill three times in a row, each range larger than the last. Yet unexpectedly, Nan Li dodged every single one.

No, this girl named Nan Li was a flying-type Soul Master. Once she escaped his control, it would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand.

While rapidly considering a countermeasure, Tang San activated his First Soul Skill again in an attempt to restrain Nan Li.

This time, Tang San expanded the attack range to cover the entire space between both sides. He had to restrain her before she took flight!

Nan Li retreated repeatedly. If she backed away any farther, she would drag Xiao Chen Yu and the others into the fight. Her gaze flickered. In the instant she landed, Nan Li bent her knees and pushed off the ground with the momentum. Her Wings spread open, and she beat them as she flew upward, circling several Blue Silver Grass vines that surged from the ground.

"Whoosh—"

Nan Li beat her Wings. Flames, crimson on the outside and white within, instantly ignited the Blue Silver Grass. Her wings stirred the air currents, sending the flames sweeping toward Tang San.

The Blue Silver Grass crackled under the burning flames and explosive airwaves, gradually breaking apart.

But that was not all. Nan Li dived down, passing through the Blue Silver Grass consumed by Blazing Fire. Her flaming Wings shot directly toward Tang San.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Tang San did not dare be careless. He used his movement technique, his feet never stopping as he dodged the flames. At the same time, he used Hidden Weapon techniques to fire the stones he had picked up when rising, hoping to restrict Nan Li and deter her.

Yet Nan Li showed no intention of holding back. She beat her Wings continuously, forcing Tang San back with flames.

"This is bad! Xiao San is about to be trapped inside!" Tang San could not see clearly while fighting, but Xiao Wu, watching from the side, noticed Nan Li's objective. Although Nan Li was not attacking Xiao San directly with the flames, the fire was steadily occupying the space around him. She was trying to trap him inside!

Tang San's Martial Soul was only Blue Silver Grass. It could not withstand fire at all!

Xiao Wu was so anxious she nearly jumped up and down. But there was nothing she could do. Nan Li was in the air, out of her reach, while Xiao San was inside the ring of fire. And as a rabbit, she was not immune to flames either.

Moreover, the center of Nan Li's flames was an eerie white. Forget passing through the fire or leaping over it—even standing nearby brought an intense burning sensation.

Nan Li felt that it was about enough. She began controlling the flames to surround Tang San. She intended to trap him for a while, let him learn his lesson, and have him lower his head and admit defeat.

On Tang San's side, he felt the burning heat drawing ever closer. Large beads of sweat formed and ran down his cheeks, yet before they could reach the ground, they had already evaporated completely.

Tang San looked around, resentment rising in his heart. This Nan Li was not only arrogant and contemptuous of others, but also a Noble Scion who treated human lives like grass!

After releasing his Soul Skills several times in succession, his Soul Power was nearly exhausted. Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and silently recited the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record General Principles.

The third principle of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record General Principles: Once you determine that someone is an enemy, if they have taken the path to death, show no mercy. Otherwise, you will only bring trouble upon yourself.

Nan Li, you insulted my teacher first. Then, at the slightest disagreement, you tried to kill a fellow student. And you know the secret of my Twin Martial Souls. Do not blame me for showing no mercy.

A rush of hot blood surged into Tang San's head. He absolutely could not lose to the person before him!

Purple light flashed from Tang San's eyes, while his palms turned jade-colored. Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand emerged together!

His hands brushed across Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night, and the gems on the Soul Tool lit up one after another.

Today, I'll let you see the might of the Tang Sect's ultimate arts!

Tang San used Purple Demon Eye to capture Nan Li's figure while rapidly analyzing her trajectory. Hidden Weapons flew out one after another, shooting straight toward the Red Figure in midair!
