Taken Away by the Martial Soul Hall

Martial Soul Hall cared nothing for Ling Chen's circumstances; as long as they could achieve their goal, they would stop at nothing.

"Kid, I intended to spare your life! But it seems there is no need for you to remain anymore!"

Eight Soul Saints leaped into the air, hurling a variety of soul skills toward Ling Chen.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ling Chen dared not take them head-on; even with their power reduced by 50%, a single graze would likely send him straight to the afterlife. Yet, trapped within the encirclement, no matter how desperately he dodged, he could not evade such a wide-range barrage from the Soul Saints.

"No!"

Tang San watched helplessly as Ling Chen was swallowed by the soul skills, the soaring flames seemingly extinguishing Ling Chen's very life force.

"Tang San, to still have the heart to worry about others—how laughable! Next, it's your turn!"

Yan and the remaining Soul Saints surrounded Tang San and Xiao Wu once more; they clearly sensed the disappearance of the Peerless Domain.

Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; he had to save Xiao Wu today. The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were pinned down by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and Ling Chen had been annihilated here.

They had taken advantage of the brief gap to put some distance between themselves and the Martial Soul Hall members, but facing the pursuit of so many Soul Saints, it was impossible for Tang San to leave alive.

Facing the siege, Tang San traded injury for injury, unleashing his Eight Spider Soul Bone, Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Silver Grass, and Blue Silver Overlord Spear, fighting with his life to buy a chance for Xiao Wu to escape.

And that chance was the sky.

He would strip his soul bone through a suicidal method, allowing Xiao Wu to use his Blue Silver Emperor right leg soul bone to escape. He would use his own corpse to block every attack from Martial Soul Hall.

As Tang San's final roar faded, he became the ultimate barrier, shielding Xiao Wu from the soul skills locked onto her by the Martial Soul Hall experts.

Hu Liena rushed over in a panic, and upon witnessing Tang San's suicide by shattering his Eight Spider Soul Bone, she collapsed to the ground.

Just as Martial Soul Hall thought they had captured Xiao Wu, she flew toward Tang San, a blinding blood-red light erupting from her body. The Sacrificial Domain, exclusive to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, unfolded, and the crimson halo instantly shrouded the entire Stone Forest, as if time itself had frozen.

When the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python sensed something was wrong, they broke free from the Two-Pole Stasis Domain with all their might, the Titan Giant Ape rushing toward the red halo first.

Xiao Wu's body slowly ascended, her robes turning to ash, her skin glowing like a ruby as the origin power of the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit burned away completely.

A powerful magnetic field prevented the Martial Soul Hall members from approaching, forcing them to watch from afar.

Ling Chen emerged from behind a stone mountain, white smoke still rising from his charred left sleeve, yet his eyes were filled with a deep, scarlet hue.

Ling Chen's monstrous killing intent shattered the suppression of Chen Xin's sword aura and shot into the clouds, causing even the sky to change color.

"Not good! Quick..."

Yan had not expected that the brat Ling Chen was still alive, but before he could finish his sentence, he was instantly enveloped by blood mist, falling into an illusion.

"Kill! Kill them all!"

Ling Chen brandished the blood-red Green Steel Sword and began the slaughter. There were no shrill screams, only bodies falling in silence one after another.

"Boom!"

The Titan Giant Ape descended from the sky, its furious roar shaking up a pile of corpses, including those of Ling Chen and the Golden Generation.

Briefly freed from the range of Ling Chen's domain, the three members of the Golden Generation regained their senses, looking in disbelief at the blood mist creeping up beneath their feet.

After their domain was broken, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo rushed over.

"Old Ghost! The Golden Generation must not come to any harm!"

If Hu Liena, the candidate for the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, were injured, Bibi Dong would hold them accountable—let alone if she died here.

Furthermore, they could already sense the bloody massacre within the mist; although many Soul Saints had been blown away by the Titan Giant Ape, they could not fly and would eventually become souls under Ling Chen's blade.

The two moved with great speed, whisking the three members of the Golden Generation away from the area before they could fall into the blood mist.

Behind the Titan Giant Ape, Manjushage flowers bloomed frantically on the ground, blood-red light soaring into the sky, merging with Xiao Wu's radiance and Ling Chen's killing intent.

"Sacrifice—!"

All of Xiao Wu's power transformed into a pillar of blood-red light, merging into Tang San's body.

Her figure became increasingly transparent within the light, and as she dissipated, she kissed Tang San's lips, finally turning into specks of blood-red fireflies that fused completely into his body, leaving only a wisp of her remnant soul and her physical form protected by the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Ling Chen only managed to hold on until he had slaughtered all the Soul Saints present before losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground.

The blood mist generated by the killing-intent-infused Peerless Domain gradually dissipated. The Titan Giant Ape tried to lift Ling Chen, but a ghostly figure appeared beside him, intending to take Ling Chen away.

"Moo!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python's tail moved faster than Ghost Douluo, the massive serpent tail whipping toward him.

Ghost Douluo smiled coldly, holding Ling Chen's weakened body in front of him as a shield. The Sky Azure Bull Python did not slow down; it did not want to blow Ghost Douluo away, but rather to bind him tightly.

"Old Ghost!"

Ghost Douluo was not anxious, instead placing his hand on Ling Chen's head.

"Sky Azure Bull Python, I know you want to protect this child, but I only need to exert a little force, and he will vanish into thin air!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python looked back at Tang San lying amidst the Manjushage flowers, then at Ling Chen; it was forced to choose.

In that moment, it and the Titan Giant Ape could not defeat the two Title Douluo, and their interference would only cause Ling Chen to die here. Yet, letting them take Ling Chen away made them fear that Ling Chen would misunderstand and think they, as soul beasts, were disloyal.

Ling Chen had clearly helped them, yet this was the result he received; it was truly disheartening.

The Sky Azure Bull Python exhaled a long breath from its nostrils toward Ghost Douluo, then flung the two of them away. Chrysanthemum Douluo took the three members of the Golden Generation and followed, retreating from the Stone Forest.

Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor soul power surged violently, a 100,000-year Soul Ring circling his body as his shattered frame healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He stood up and scanned his surroundings, seeing only Manjushage flowers covering the ground and the Soft Bone Rabbit sleeping soundly by his feet, its body wrapped in the Lovesick Heartbreak Red which emitted a faint crimson glow.

"Xiao Wu, why are you so foolish!"

Tang San picked up the Soft Bone Rabbit, and the petals of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red gradually merged into its body, slowly rousing it from its slumber.

Seeing the situation improve, Tang San felt a glimmer of hope. Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Rest assured, I have a way to restore her! Her soul is currently residing within your body and has not dissipated, so there is no need for you to worry!"

The person speaking was none other than a clone of Ling Chen.

"Li Tianyi! Aren't you already..."

The Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and the man were all filled with confusion.

"Dead?"

"Captured?"

Ling Chen chuckled and handed a letter to Tang San.

"The letter contains the method to revive her; just follow the instructions. As for my true body, it was indeed taken away by the people from Martial Soul Hall."
