Xiao Wu's Sacrifice

After passing through a dense forest, the pupils of everyone from Spirit Hall in the Sky Screen, as well as those of the spectators, contracted almost simultaneously.

Before them lay a breathtakingly beautiful scene beyond words.

The crystal-clear lake reflected the shadows of the towering trees around it.

Sunlight poured down, making everything shimmer like crystal in the water's reflection.

At one side of this moving scene, an enormous figure crouched quietly.

It was the Titan Giant Ape!

And seated upon the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder was an exceptionally graceful figure.

She wore a long white dress that reached her feet.

Her exquisite, elf-like face was flawless in every way.

Her loose black hair fell like a waterfall all the way to the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.

Every strand was unbelievably soft and smooth.

She seemed like an elf born of nature itself, perfectly blending into her surroundings.

At that moment, even Hu Liena, who considered herself stunningly beautiful, felt inferior beneath her radiance.

Outside Heaven Dou City.

Everyone who knew Xiao Wu stared at her in stunned silence.

The girl in the scene was clearly what Xiao Wu would look like when she grew up!

She was simply too beautiful!

Just then, the scene on the Sky Screen changed once more.

A massive bull's head suddenly burst out of the lake.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape stood side by side, attacking the people of Spirit Hall at the same time!

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo knew that the two of them could never take Xiao Wu away while she was protected by two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

The two exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Polar Static Domain!

The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were immediately frozen in place, unable to move!

After restraining the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Chrysanthemum Douluo ordered the others to seize Xiao Wu.

But Tang San moved first!

His figure flashed, and he appeared behind Xie Yue like a ghost, slamming a palm hard into Xie Yue's chest!

Caught off guard, Xie Yue was struck in an acupoint and severely injured on the spot!

At the same time, Tang San raised his hand and flung out two Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Pellets!

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out as a thick cloud of smoke erupted, instantly engulfing six Soul Saints!

The six Soul Saints didn't even have time to scream before they fell stiffly to the ground, utterly dead!

Then Tang San stopped hiding his strength and directly released his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and Eight Spider Lances Spirit Bone.

He swiftly gravely injured another Soul Saint.

Tang San flashed forward, soaring into the air like an eagle. He grabbed the panicked Xiao Wu, then turned and flew deep into the forest, vanishing into the distance!

In the blink of an eye, Tang San had unleashed all of his strength!

Seven Soul Saints had fallen to his ambush, along with Xie Yue, whose vital acupoint had been struck.

Of the twenty-three Spirit Hall experts, eight had been lost in an instant!

Everyone looking up at the Sky Screen gasped, their hearts shaken to the core by the sight!

Tang San had only been a five-ring Soul King at the time, yet he had managed to ambush and kill so many Soul Saints. It was utterly terrifying.

Quite a few people also coveted the Hidden Weapons capable of ambushing and killing Soul Saints.

Above the Sky Screen, Tang San fled into the distance with Xiao Wu at breakneck speed.

Along the way, the two worked in perfect coordination, joining forces to kill four agility-type Soul Saints from Spirit Hall who excelled in speed and were most likely to catch up to them.

They had thought they could escape with Xiao Wu alive after that.

Who could have expected that, so close to the Lake of Life, a ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider would suddenly appear and block their path?

Tang San and Xiao Wu had to exert every ounce of strength they had before they finally managed to break free from the Man Faced Demon Spider's pursuit.

But before they could even catch their breath, Spirit Hall's many experts had caught up and surrounded them completely.

The next second, the Spirit Hall group launched a fierce assault, unleashing one killing move after another with unstoppable force.

Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor and Eight Spider Lances forcibly blocked wave after wave of attacks from Spirit Hall's experts, shielding Xiao Wu from every bit of damage.

But he was only a Soul King. After the relentless battles before this, his Soul Power had long since been nearly exhausted.

At that critical moment, deadly danger loomed right before them.

The Soul Power accumulated within Tang San suddenly erupted. His bottleneck shattered, and the barrier between level fifty-nine and level sixty was broken through in one stroke, causing his Soul Power to surge.

Though Tang San had recovered a little Soul Power, his expression remained grave.

Facing several Soul Saints who had simultaneously unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars, he was still hopelessly outmatched.

Tang San looked up at the sky, and an idea flashed through his mind. There was only one way to let Xiao Wu live.

He would give her his Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, stay behind to hold off Spirit Hall, and let her break through from the sky.

With that thought, Tang San hesitated no longer. He decisively hurled Xiao Wu into the air with all his strength.

Immediately afterward, Spirit Hall's attacks rained down like a storm, tearing Tang San's flesh apart and leaving him covered in wounds.

From beginning to end, Spirit Hall's only target had been Xiao Wu.

Several powerful Soul Power attacks instantly locked onto Xiao Wu, who had nowhere to brace herself in midair. Their killing blows aimed straight for her vital points.

Just as Spirit Hall's attacks were about to strike Xiao Wu, Tang San's plan finally worked. He shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow and shielded Xiao Wu with his body.

His right leg directly took the world-destroying attack.

"Bang—"

With a deafening blast, Tang San's right leg was blown to pieces. Agonizing pain swept through his entire body, making him wish for death and nearly knocking him unconscious.

As his right leg shattered, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was stripped from it as well.

Tang San endured the pain and precisely transferred the Spirit Bone to Xiao Wu. His only thought was to get Xiao Wu away as quickly as possible.

How could the people of Spirit Hall let Xiao Wu escape so easily? Several attacks tore through the air once more.

At the critical moment, Tang San directly released Divine Slaughter's Domain and Blue Silver Domain.

One blue and one red domain power intertwined in the sky, forming a pair of enormous Domain Wings that blocked every upward attack from Spirit Hall like an impenetrable net.

Seeing Tang San covered in wounds for her sake, Xiao Wu's eyes were instantly flooded with blood-red light.

"Aah—!"

An incomparably shrill cry of grief suddenly burst from Xiao Wu's mouth.

The piercing sound tore through the clouds, seeming to make the entire Star Dou Forest tremble.

A dazzling red light suddenly spread from Xiao Wu's brow, transforming into rings of crimson radiance that instantly expanded outward.

Everything touched by the red light was dyed a horrifying shade of blood.

At that moment, everything between heaven and earth came to a standstill.

In the distance, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill jointly unleashed by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could no longer restrain the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.

The two great soul beasts roared furiously as immense Soul Power erupted, directly shattering the seal.

Everyone's eyes were fixed upon Xiao Wu at the center of the red light.

She walked through a sea of red flowers, step by step, slowly approaching Tang San.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he cried out:

"No! It's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"

"That Soft Bone Rabbit is using an even more domineering method! She is sacrificing not only her life, but her soul as well!"

Hu Liena in the scene clutched her chest, her entire body trembling. Her pupils shook violently, and even her voice trembled uncontrollably:

"What? Sacrificing... her soul?"

"She is merging her soul into the Spirit Ring, giving her entire self to Tang San!"

"Under this kind of sacrifice, no matter how strong Tang San is or whether he has reached the level required to obtain a Spirit Ring, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring will fuse with him with absolute success!"
