The Blue Silver Emperor Lost All Hope and Severed Its Own Lifeforce!
Even without him saying it, everyone could see it.
This Blue Silver Emperor plant is in really bad condition.
The leaves were dry and curled, with a sickly gray hue, and the whole plant exuded a lifeless smell, as if it would wither completely at any moment.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression also turned somewhat solemn.
"This is what it looked like when I first discovered it."
"It was planted deep inside the cave, a place completely devoid of sunlight and water."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
The confusion on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face instantly turned into shock and disbelief.
He turned his head sharply and stared intently at the dark cave.
The next second, he flashed and rushed inside.
Less than ten seconds had passed.
Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo emerged from the cave, his face ashen.
That face, which always carried a touch of feminine charm, was now covered with icy frost.
"Yue Guan?"
Seeing his appearance, Ghost Douluo asked him with some concern.
"What's wrong?"
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed not to hear him at all.
His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes passed over his best friend and landed directly on Tang Hao, who had just struggled to get up from the ground not far away.
To everyone's astonishment.
Chrysanthemum Douluo walked step by step to Tang Hao.
Then, lift your foot.
He kicked Tang Hao hard in the chest!
"Puff--!"
Tang Hao, who was already seriously injured, was kicked so hard that he spat out another mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily into the mountain wall.
He clutched his aching chest, staring in shock and anger at the man who had suddenly gone mad.
"You..."
"Did you do this on purpose?!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was deep, his fists clenched tightly.
"Did you intend for this Blue Silver Emperor to die completely from the very beginning?!"
As a titled Douluo, his Martial Soul is known as a top-tier immortal-grade existence— the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
It can be said that his love and tenderness for plants are ingrained in his very being.
I was just in the cave.
He recognized it immediately.
That place was not a hiding place at all; it was a carefully prepared grave for plants!
Dry!
Dark!
Not a drop of moisture!
Even the soil is the most barren and least suitable sandy soil for plant growth!
Planting a Blue Silver Emperor plant, whose vitality is extremely fragile and which has just been sacrificed, in that kind of place.
That's not protection at all!
That was the most cruel and slowest way to brutally kill the Blue Silver Emperor!
All eyes were like knives, piercing Tang Hao.
He staggered to his feet, his chest throbbing with pain, each breath carrying the metallic taste of blood.
But he couldn't care less.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, like a poisonous thorn, pierced the deepest corner of his heart, the corner he least wanted to be touched.
Tang Hao suddenly looked up, his face contorted with anger and rage.
"You're talking nonsense!"
He roared, his voice hoarse and cracked, spittle flying everywhere.
"How could I possibly want Ah Yin to die! I love her! Everything I did was to protect her!"
His voice was hysterical, as if he were trying to persuade others, but even more so as to desperately try to persuade himself.
Just then...
However, in the very instant he roared...
In the hands of Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Blue Silver Emperor, carefully supported by Soul Power, seemed to sense that familiar yet despairing aura not far away.
One of its thickest, yet equally withered branches trembled slightly.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the branch looked like a weak, powerless human hand reaching out.
Trembling and hesitant, it stretched out from afar towards Tang Hao.
It longs for him.
Even imprisoned in darkness and placed in a life-or-death situation, its remaining instincts still seek the man for whom it once sacrificed everything.
Seeing this scene, Tang Hao's heart, which was filled with anger and humiliation, was suddenly stabbed hard.
Pain.
A piercing pain.
Tears welled up uncontrollably.
"Ah Yin..."
He subconsciously reached out his hand towards the Blue Silver Emperor, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something.
However.
He had just made a move.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's icy, chilling question rang out once more.
Do you even believe that yourself?
"The Douluo Continent is so vast, with countless scenic spots, yet you chose such a desolate place!"
"Why must it be planted in a desolate place with no light, no water, and even the soil is dead?"
"You're not protecting her!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes were bloodshot as he approached him step by step, his eerily handsome face now twisted in a terrifying way.
"You're grinding her to death bit by bit in the slowest, cruelest way!"
"You're probably hiding something!"
"You just want her to rot and die quietly in some unknown corner, where no one knows!"
"That way, everything you owe her is wiped clean!"
This time, Tang Hao opened his mouth.
He wanted to argue.
He wanted to scream.
But when he looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand, which was still trying to stretch its branches and leaves towards him, all his words of explanation stuck in his throat.
Finally, like a deflated balloon, he turned his head away in a disheveled manner, avoiding that gaze.
He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
It was that moment of silence.
It was that one evasive look in his eyes.
The leaves that the Blue Silver Emperor plant extended suddenly froze.
Then, slowly and weakly, it drooped down.
It was as if all their strength had finally been exhausted.
It was as if, finally understanding something, they had given up completely.
The next second.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone.
The faint golden veins on the leaves of that Blue Silver Emperor plant began to fade at a visible rate.
The blue leaves, which had just begun to show signs of life, quickly turned yellow and then scorched black.
An aura of death emanated from it.
It is killing itself!
"Not good!"
"It's going to die!"
"This is the potted plant that the senior requested!"
Everyone panicked instantly. If they messed up the task assigned by their seniors, no one could bear the consequences.
Tang Hao also noticed the changes in the Blue Silver Emperor.
As he watched his beloved plant rapidly dying, the intense pain in his heart returned.
"No--!"
He let out a heart-wrenching roar and instinctively rushed towards the Blue Silver Emperor.
At that moment, his heart was truly heavy.
But at the same time, deep within that excruciating pain, a dark sense of relief, which he himself was unwilling to acknowledge, quietly welled up.
He died.
It would be better if I just died like this.
If you die, you won't have to face it anymore.
But he hadn't even taken two steps.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Two golden, cold lights flashed by.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul instantly condensed into two sharp, knife-like golden petals, which pierced directly through his two thighs!
Tang Hao screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Stop pretending!
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked down at him, her eyes filled with intense disgust and contempt.
"Disgusting stuff."
After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at Tang Hao again, and suddenly turned around and rushed to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Buzz--!"
A huge and magnificent golden chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed behind him!
Immortal-grade Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!
A dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the ravaged hillside.
"Yue Guan! What are you doing?!" Ghost Douluo exclaimed in shock.
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not answer, but instead extended his finger without hesitation and touched the core of his Martial Soul.
A ray of dazzling golden light, containing the essence of life, was forcibly extracted from the body and then continuously injected into the Blue Silver Emperor's body!
Of everyone present, he was the only one with Plant-type Martial Soul.
And it's a divine item!
His Martial Soul Origin is a supreme elixir capable of reversing life and death for any plant!
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned pale at a visible speed.
Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead.
A race against death has begun!
Look, it's the Blue Silver Emperor whose life force has been completely depleted first!
It was Chrysanthemum Douluo who managed to use his own essence to revive its life before that point!
"Hang in there!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.
"If you dare to die, and the senior blames me, I'll go to hell and scatter that bastard Tang Hao's ashes!"
