The Golden Ranking Revealed: Ninth Place, Lovesick Heartbreak Red!

Tang San stared fixedly at that calm area, his eyes revealing terror.

A fear originating from the depths of his soul, a fear of an unknown existence.

What... exactly was in there?

Tang San's body stiffened in mid-air, maintaining his throwing posture; the azure radiance flowing across his Sea God divine armor appeared exceptionally ironic against his deathly pale complexion.

Fear, like the water of the deepest, coldest abyss, rose from the soles of his feet, instantly submerging his limbs and freezing his soul.

What was that?

What on earth was that thing?!

The first time, it was an accident, a coincidence, or perhaps Martial Soul Hall had utilized some bizarre, hidden Soul Tool.

But the second time, three of them fired simultaneously from different angles, sealing off every possibility of evasion or countermeasure, yet they were still erased from thin air in the exact same way!

Tang San gazed at that courtyard, which was far too calm.

He was unwilling to accept this!

This was the ultimate technique he had forged by fusing his past and present lives, the one he had staked everything on!

This was the supreme divine weapon, personally blessed and transformed by the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking!

Why?!

"Ahhh—!"

Tang San acted as if he had gone mad, his divine power pouring out without reservation.

One, two, five...

In an instant, several dark-gold Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus were taken out as if they were worthless cabbages, and he hysterically blasted them all toward that direction!

He would bury whatever was inside with sheer numbers!

He would reduce that entire area to absolute nothingness!

High above in the sky, Qian Renxue saw this scene, and her heart, which had just settled slightly, instantly leaped back into her throat.

Her beautiful golden eyes were filled with worry.

Although that man was unimaginably powerful, Tang San's current madness also defied all reason.

With so many divine weapons detonating at once, the power would likely be enough to wipe half of Jialing Pass off the map!

However, the next moment, Qian Renxue was completely stunned.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was stunned.

All the elders were stunned.

They watched as the overwhelming lotus formation, capable of making even gods change color, simply faded and vanished like ink dropped into water while in mid-flight toward the courtyard.

One after another, silently, they faded and disappeared.

No explosion, no sound, no light.

There was nothing at all.

It was as if they had never existed.

"..."

Qian Renxue's red lips parted slightly, unable to close for a long time.

Only one thought remained in her mind.

It was him... it must have been him who acted!

Subconsciously, she straightened her posture; her divine golden battle skirt wrapped around her exquisite, shapely body, and her long, jade-like legs, covered in golden armor, tensed straight. They refracted a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight, radiating both divine majesty and a charm that stirred the heart.

"Pfft—"

Tang San violently spat out a mouthful of divine blood, his aura instantly wilting.

Continuously activating so many Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus had placed a massive burden on his divine soul.

But his physical wounds were far less significant than the shock and terror in his heart.

He finally understood.

This was not an existence he could contend with.

If he continued to fight, he would be the only one to die.

Tang San's expression was so gloomy it could drip water; he cast a venomous glance at the courtyard, then swept his gaze over the unscathed Qian Renxue.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he made his decision.

"Retreat!"

The word was squeezed out from between his teeth.

His figure moved, transforming into a blue streak of light, and he retreated toward the direction of the coalition camp without looking back.

"Martial Soul Hall!"

His voice echoed across the horizon.

"You tumors of this continent, do not get cocky! Evil can never triumph over justice! You may have had strange means to protect you today, but the laws of heaven are clear; your doomsday will arrive sooner or later!"

Watching Tang San's bedraggled figure retreat, everyone on the walls of Jialing Pass let out a long sigh of relief.

The joy of surviving a catastrophe caused many to collapse directly to the ground.

Golden Crocodile Douluo approached Qian Renxue, his aged voice carrying a hint of tremor and awe.

"Young Miss, that person inside the city... exactly what kind of sacred being is he?"

The other titled elders also cast looks of immense curiosity and reverence.

Qian Renxue shook her head, her golden eyes gazing toward the courtyard, flickering with an unusual luster.

"I only know that he is very likely a predecessor of our Qian family."

A predecessor of the Qian family!

These four words caused the hearts of all the elders to tremble, and they instantly stood in solemn respect.

Legend had it that the first person to inherit the Angel Godhood was the ancestor of the Qian family!

Since then, every generation of the Angel God had come from the Qian family!

They might not have imagined it was the ancestor himself, but a predecessor of the Qian family who could live until today and possess such heaven-defying, earth-shattering means held a weight that surpassed everything!

Qian Renxue paid no further mind to the shock of the others.

She had already made up her mind.

This time, even if she had to kneel and beg, she would make that predecessor teach her true power!

Her figure flashed, and she landed quietly outside the courtyard, tidying her appearance before stepping inside.

Inside the courtyard, it remained as calm and breezy as ever.

Qian Ye was holding a teacup, sipping calmly, as if the divine war outside concerning the fate of the continent were nothing more than a farce in a neighbor's yard.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Qian Renxue as she walked in.

"Has the war ended?"

Qian Renxue stepped forward quickly, bowing respectfully to Qian Ye.

"Reporting to Master, thanks to your intervention, Tang San has retreated."

The moment she bowed, her magnificent golden battle dress clung tightly to her body, revealing her breathtaking curves.

Especially those straight, slender legs; even wrapped in armor, one could still feel that explosive sense of beauty, where holiness and temptation blended perfectly at this moment.

"This junior is bold enough to ask to learn the predecessor's sword."

She raised her head, her beautiful golden eyes filled with sincerity and longing.

This high and mighty Angel God was, at this moment, like a young girl humbly seeking guidance, having shed all the majesty of a deity.

Qian Ye set down his teacup, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"You are teachable."

Meanwhile.

In the central command tent of the allied camp.

The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

Tang San sat in the main seat with a pale face, while the other six Shrek monsters and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stood on either side, each with a grave expression.

"San, what exactly happened?"

Yu Xiaogang adjusted his glasses, breaking the silence first.

Tang San took a deep breath and recounted everything that had just occurred exactly as it happened.

When they heard that several divine-grade Buddha Wrath Tang Lotuses had been erased without even causing a ripple, a collective gasp of cold air filled the tent.

"How is that possible?!" Dai Mubai's evil eyes widened.

"That is a divine artifact! Even a God King couldn't resolve it so nonchalantly, could they?"

"There must be something strange inside Jialing Pass."

Tang San said in a deep voice, "There is an existence hidden there that is completely unknown to us, and their strength... is unfathomable."

Everyone fell silent.

This variable had completely disrupted all of their plans.

"We must investigate this clearly!" Yu Xiaogang slammed the table. "If we don't figure out the opponent's background, we cannot launch another attack!"
