Tang San's Sneak Attack Failed! Di Yao Publicly Issued a Warrant, and Master and Disciple Completely Turned Against Each Other!

The Poison Needle shot out from the shadows.

Silently.

Incredibly fast.

Its angle was viciously tricky.

Its target was not Di Yao.

It was Hu Liena's back.

Tang San's judgment had been precise.

Hu Liena was the core of their mental control and Di Yao's most valuable peer-aged teammate.

If she was injured, the Law Enforcement Team would fall into disarray.

Di Yao would also be forced to divide his attention.

Yu Xiaogang would then have a chance to escape amid the chaos.

But Tang San had misjudged one thing.

Di Yao had never lowered his assessment of Tang San's danger level.

From that needle at Notting Academy's plaza onward, Di Yao had already listed Tang San as a target requiring the highest vigilance.

The instant the Poison Needle tore through the air, dark golden light flared in Di Yao's eyes.

The embryonic Hetu Luoshu caught the direction of the killing intent.

The Great Sun Golden Flame surged back along its trajectory.

"Sizzle!"

The Poison Needle burned to ash three inches behind Hu Liena.

Hu Liena turned around, and her face instantly went cold.

She truly had not noticed it just now.

If not for Di Yao, even if that needle had not killed her, it would have been enough to rob her of her combat ability for a short time.

"Tang San!"

Hu Liena's voice turned utterly frigid.

Tang San's figure flashed within the shadows as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated.

He did not linger for a direct confrontation.

His sneak attack had failed, so he retreated immediately.

Di Yao raised his hand.

A wisp of Great Sun Golden Flame chased along the direction from which the Hidden Weapon had come, burning straight toward Tang San's sleeve.

Tang San reacted quickly and sliced off his sleeve.

But this time, the golden flame was faster.

"Sizzle!"

The flames grazed his wrist.

The burn that had not yet healed split open once more.

Tang San gave a muffled groan, his face turning slightly pale.

Di Yao remained where he was and did not pursue.

He merely spoke coldly.

"Tang San."

"The first time, you said I had misunderstood."

"The second time, you said I forced you into it."

"This time, you attacked Hu Liena from behind."

"What else do you want to say?"

Tang San clutched his wrist, his gaze frighteningly dark.

"Spirit Hall forced my teacher, seized Xiao Wu, and ruined my reputation."

"I was only resisting."

Di Yao laughed.

The smile was cold.

"Resisting?"

"Your way of resisting was to use poisoned Hidden Weapons to ambush a records Deacon."

"To set up traps and a killing array to ambush the Law Enforcement Team."

"And now, to attack Hu Liena from behind."

"Tang San, stop flattering yourself."

"You are not a resister."

"You are an assassin."

Killing intent surged in Tang San's eyes.

Hu Liena stepped up beside Di Yao, her Demon Fox Spirit already unleashed.

"You nearly killed me."

Tang San said coldly, "I did not aim for a fatal spot."

Hu Liena laughed in fury.

"So I should thank you?"

Tang San did not answer.

He had always believed that he knew where to draw the line.

But in Di Yao's eyes, that so-called restraint was merely greater hypocrisy.

Di Yao looked toward Deacon Zhou.

"Record this."

Deacon Zhou immediately unfurled the case file.

Di Yao's voice rang clearly throughout the estate.

"Tang San."

"Used unknown lethal Hidden Weapons to attack Spirit Hall law enforcement personnel on multiple occasions."

"Assisted Resource Case suspect Yu Xiaogang in transferring evidence."

"Participated in the unrest at a Black Market hideout."

"Effective immediately, he is listed as a wanted fugitive of Spirit Hall."

"Yu Xiaogang."

"Suspected of embezzling Spirit Hall resources, altering awakening records, sheltering Tang San, and aiding his escape."

"He will be investigated as an accomplice."

Tang San's expression completely changed.

Wanted.

He understood very well what those two words meant.

From this day onward, he could no longer remain openly at Notting Academy.

Nor could he cultivate as an ordinary student.

Spirit Hall would hunt him down everywhere.

Yu Xiaogang stood some distance away under the protection of a Black Market Soul Master, his face deathly pale.

He had never expected things to develop this far.

He had only wanted to move the materials.

He had only wanted to protect himself and Tang San.

But now, he and Tang San stood together against Spirit Hall.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "Di Yao, if you keep pressing us like this today, you will regret it one day!"

Di Yao said blandly, "Add another charge to the warrant."

"Threatening Spirit Hall's law enforcement officer in charge."

Yu Xiaogang nearly failed to catch his breath.

Hu Liena said coldly, "Grandmaster, save your strength and think about how you will explain that Account Ledger."

Tang San stepped in front of Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, let's go."

Di Yao did not order a pursuit.

Hu Liena frowned.

"We are not chasing them again?"

Di Yao looked beyond the estate.

"A stronger presence is coming."

The moment he finished speaking.

A thunderous boom rang out.

The northern wall of the estate was shattered by a single palm strike.

Rubble flew everywhere.

Terrifying Soul Power crashed in like a gale.

A burly middle-aged man stepped into the estate.

His eyes glowed red, and the phantom of a Crimson Blood Berserk Bear emerged behind him.

Six Soul Rings rose into view.

A Soul Emperor!

Deacon Zhou's expression changed.

"Crimson Blood Berserk Bear!"

"The true enforcer backing the Black Market!"

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear Soul Emperor swept his gaze over the wreckage covering the ground, his expression dark.

"Brat, once you investigated this far, you should have died."

The Soul Emperor's pressure descended.

Hu Liena's face went pale as she staggered back two steps.

The Law Enforcement Team's formation was thrown into disorder under the pressure as well.

Di Yao remained where he was, though his body sank slightly.

A stabbing pain came from his old chest wound.

But his gaze did not change.

A Beast Spirit.

A Soul Emperor.

His level was very high.

The suppression was weak.

But it was not completely useless.

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear Soul Emperor stared at Di Yao.

"You are the one who ruined our operation?"

Di Yao said, "The Account Ledger is in my hands."

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear's eyes turned cold.

"Then leave your hand behind."

He took one step forward, shattering the ground.

The power of a Soul Emperor was utterly beyond comparison with the Iron-Back Wolf King Soul King.

Deacon Zhou immediately stepped in front of Di Yao.

But the Crimson Blood Berserk Bear merely sneered.

"A Soul Emperor thinks he can stop me?"

His Third Soul Ring lit up, and he struck out with his palm.

Deacon Zhou received the blow head-on and was sent staggering back three steps.

Hu Liena's expression turned grim.

"This is troublesome."

Di Yao did not retreat.

He stared at the Crimson Blood Berserk Bear's spirit phantom.

Demon Emperor Di Jun slowly stirred within him.

The Soul Emperor was too powerful.

He could not suppress him.

But only for an instant.

As long as he could make the other's spirit instinctively resist for an instant.

Gui Mei, hidden in the dark, could make his move.

Di Yao suddenly stepped forward.

Hu Liena cried anxiously, "What are you doing?"

Di Yao said, "Make him look at me."

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear was indeed enraged.

"Brat, you are courting death!"

He abandoned Deacon Zhou and lunged straight at Di Yao.

A Soul Emperor's pressure blanketed the heavens and earth.

Di Yao's Second Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.

The Dark Gold Emperor Edict stood ready to strike.

Outside the manor, Tang San supported Yu Xiaogang as they fled quickly.

But he glanced back at Di Yao.

The hatred in his eyes deepened.

He knew that if they did not leave today, they might never be able to leave again.

But he would remember this debt.

Di Yao.

Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena.

He would make every one of them pay.

Meanwhile, at the center of the manor.

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear Soul Emperor had already charged before Di Yao.

His bear paw blazed with blood-red Soul Power as it crashed down.

Di Yao looked up.

His second soul skill activated.

"Ten Thousand Demon Edict."

The Ten Thousand Demon Edict descended.

The phantom image of the Crimson Blood Berserk Bear Soul Emperor's Beast Spirit suddenly trembled.

The Soul Emperor's level was too high.

Di Yao's suppression was almost no more than a thin needle.

Yet that needle pierced the deepest instincts of the Beast Spirit.

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear's movements slowed.

It did not stop.

Its Soul Power circulation merely faltered for half a beat.

Half a beat.

For a Title Douluo, that was enough.

From the shadows came Gui Mei's low voice.

"This is what I was waiting for."

Pitch-black Ghost Shadow Chains erupted from the ground.

One wrapped around the Crimson Blood Berserk Bear's right arm.

One locked around its waist.

The third pierced straight through its shoulder blade.

"Aah!"

The Crimson Blood Berserk Bear Soul Emperor screamed.

His terrifying charge was forcibly halted.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"A Title Douluo!"

Gui Mei's figure emerged from the shadows.

He made no unnecessary movements.

He raised a hand and pressed down.

More Ghost Shadow Chains shot out, pinning the Crimson Blood Berserk Bear Soul Emperor firmly to the ground.
