Xiao Wu Makes Her Move, Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth

On the other side, Xiao Wu and the two elders of the Holy Spirit Cult finally arrived in the vicinity of Jialing Pass.

Ever since receiving the order from Liu Yuan that day and departing from the inheritance site of the Death God, Xiao Wu and the two Holy Spirit Cult elders had been traveling at full speed.

Among the three, there was naturally no need to elaborate on Xiao Wu.

Ever since she had seen through the true face of Tang San, Xiao Wu had long harbored a bone-deep hatred for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others.

She dreamed of killing them.

It was only because the current Xiao Wu lacked the necessary strength.

If one day she were truly able to defeat and capture Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, she would make them understand what it meant to wish for death but be unable to die.

Therefore, Xiao Wu did not dare to be the least bit negligent during this journey, feeling an urgent desire to reach the battlefield.

In this regard, the other two Holy Spirit Cult elders felt the same.

Although they did not hate Tang San as much as Xiao Wu did, in their eyes, Liu Yuan was their god.

The orders issued by Liu Yuan were divine decrees.

Thus, they naturally had to complete Liu Yuan's orders at any cost.

Having traveled at full throttle for some time, they had now arrived near Jialing Pass.

They had originally intended to head to the front lines to scout the military situation before making further preparations.

Unexpectedly, while on the road, Xiao Wu and the two Holy Spirit Cult elders suddenly sensed the collision of several powerful soul powers.

"Someone is fighting?"

"This soul power... Tang San?"

In a single instant, Xiao Wu realized that one of the soul powers belonged to Tang San.

After all, she was far too familiar with him.

It was not just because of their many years of friendship; more importantly, her soul rings and soul bones were still on Tang San's body.

Therefore, whenever Tang San made a move, Xiao Wu could sense it as long as she was nearby.

At this moment, Xiao Wu quickly sensed Tang San's strength and spoke to the two Holy Spirit Cult elders at her side.

"Shall we go take a look, Elders?"

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders nodded at Xiao Wu upon hearing this.

They actually had three missions for coming to Jialing Pass this time.

The first was to sabotage Tang San's various plans so that he would not have an easy time in the war.

The second was to behead Yu Xiaogang; he had lived long enough.

The third was to rescue Bibi Dong, which was a point specifically emphasized by the Cult Master.

Since Xiao Wu had now discovered that Tang San was nearby and engaged in battle with an enemy, they naturally had to observe the situation.

If they were lucky and Tang San encountered a powerful foe, they could take advantage of the situation and help the enemy deal with him.

Even if they took a step back and assumed Tang San crushed his enemy, they could still strike to snatch the spoils from the tiger's mouth, ensuring Tang San did not have things too easy.

In short, as long as things did not go smoothly for Tang San, the Cult Master would be happy. And for the two elders, being able to make the Cult Master happy made everything worthwhile.

"Let's go."

Thinking of this, the two elders exchanged a glance and then gave their reply to Xiao Wu at their side.

The group turned in unison and quickly rushed toward the direction from which Tang San's soul power originated.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the scene.

Subsequently, they saw the scene that had just unfolded quite clearly.

"I didn't expect Tang San's strength to have improved so rapidly. It hasn't been long, yet he has become this powerful."

Xiao Wu's brows furrowed tightly after seeing Tang San's strength.

She had originally thought that her own improvement had been very swift and that Tang San was no longer her match.

Unexpectedly, seeing him now, she realized she had thought too much; Tang San's improvement was even greater than her own, which inevitably made Xiao Wu feel a sense of loss.

"The trident in his hand seems to be a divine artifact."

"His own strength is actually not that high; he hasn't reached level ninety-five."

"Yet, relying on the power of that trident, he can unleash strength far exceeding that of a level ninety-five Title Douluo."

"This boy has indeed become a force to be reckoned with."

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders had even more discerning eyes. After taking a brief look at the Seagod Trident in Tang San's hand, they successfully deduced the reason.

This made them feel even more reverence for Liu Yuan in their hearts.

"As expected of the Cult Master, his calculations are divine. Even though he hasn't seen Tang San for many years, he was still able to accurately predict Tang San's current strength."

"It seems we had better not go against the Cult Master's warning; unless it is absolutely necessary, we must never go head-to-head with Tang San."

Two elders of the Holy Spirit Cult whispered to each other.

But upon hearing this, Xiao Wu became somewhat anxious.

It wasn't that she wanted to save anyone or anything of the sort; she simply couldn't stand Tang San's smugness.

Especially now that her hearing was so keen, she had heard from afar Tang San's filthy remarks about wanting to have his way with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue after winning this war, which made her fury soar to the heavens.

Therefore, she truly did not want to let Tang San have an easy time right now.

Even if she couldn't kill him, she absolutely could not let him have his way.

Wasn't slaying Yue Guan a great achievement? Didn't Tang San want to slay Yue Guan so badly?

Since that was the case, Xiao Wu would make sure he didn't get what he wanted.

She planned to rescue Yue Guan from Tang San's hands and see if Tang San could still continue to laugh so smugly!

Thus, Xiao Wu hurriedly said to the two Holy Spirit Cult elders at her side:

"That may be true, but we cannot let him be too smug."

"Since we cannot go head-to-head, then don't go head-to-head."

"Launch a sneak attack, then rescue Yue Guan from his hands. This Yue Guan is also a capable subordinate of Bibi Dong. Helping Bibi Dong is the Master's will; we are doing this for the Master as well."

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders found this reasonable.

After all, they had a certain level of confidence in their own strength.

Facing Tang San, they certainly wouldn't be a match in a head-on clash.

But if it were a surprise attack, with the sole purpose of saving someone and retreating unscathed, there shouldn't be any problem.

Thinking of this, the two Holy Spirit Cult elders quickly began to divide the tasks.

"In that case, the two of us will be responsible for the sneak attack and blocking Tang San."

"You go and save the person."

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Following that, the three of them no longer hesitated, split into two groups, and launched their move directly.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At this moment, the faces of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others were already filled with smugness.

They had defeated Yue Guan and had already begun to fantasize in their minds about the scene of returning with the news of having slain Yue Guan, receiving the admiration of ten thousand people!

How incredibly intoxicating that would be!

"Alright, it's time to act! Send him on his way!"

After sneering for a long while, Tang San finally couldn't help but make his move.

Holding the Seagod Trident, he aimed at Yue Guan in front of him and thrust it straight down.

Yue Guan was already severely wounded at this moment and had no strength left to resist. Seeing the trident strike, his face turned ashen, his heart filled with despair.

Yet, at this very moment, a black figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.

Before Tang San's Seagod Trident could hit Yue Guan, Xiao Wu directly activated her Invincible Golden Body, gaining a brief moment of damage immunity, and then forcibly took the blow for Yue Guan.

Seeing this, Tang San was instantly shocked.

"Who goes there, daring to ruin my good deed!"
